Aminah (Between Ex & Future)

Just Friends

Aminah arrived home and she immediately cleaned up her body and pride which was embarrassed because of the cat drama earlier. Aminah hoped that everyone could have amnesia and would not remember the incident.

Aminah ritual before going to bed after using skincare is to open social media, a place for venting and showing off.

Some show off new bags, but affixing the caption 'ignore my face' it makes people curious. There are also those who are showing off something with the caption 'watch the red circle'. Aminah seriously noticed the circle, but there was nothing interesting, and only realized that there was a follow-up below the photo 'thank you for the attention'.

There are also those who post photos of the husband with all his kindness.

'There is a handsome again.' said Aminah in the heart.

Then, there are also those who post instant noodles plus rice with the caption 'eat without rice, like an ambulance without wiuw wiuw'.

'Alhamdulillah .. meaning I still live in the country +62.' said Aminah in heart while giggling.

Shortly afterwards Aminah put the phone on the table and went out of the room looking for something to calm down.

'It looks like instant noodles boiled, mixed eggs plus chili pieces of cayenne pepper suitable. Add fried rice kayaknya also delicious.' thought Aminah.

The meatballs that Rendi bought were not even part for Aminah. Although the meatballs there are 3 servings, but everything is lost spent by Bu Wati and Pak Haris who are both hooked on meatballs.

Morning's...

When Aminah was preparing breakfast, the sound of knocking on the door made Aminah turn to look outside. Just getting ready to step, there was the sound of Bu Wati greeting the guest first. A small chatter was also faintly heard for a moment.

"Who, Ma?" Aminah asked when she saw Bu Wati coming into the kitchen and sitting on one of the chairs near the dining table.

"Si Udin, wedding invitation anther."

"Om Udin wants to get married again?" Tanya Aminah was a little surprised, because Om Udin–cousin of Pak Haris–his wife was four and was pregnant all.

"No. This is Tomi's invitation to marry next month. He said no rame-rame, ngundang sodara aja." Said Bu Wati.

Tomi is Om Udin's son from a wife who knows how much. Aminah was silent for a while, then replied briefly to Bu Wati's words, "Oh."

In the next instant, Aminah's eyes began to heat up and the waterfall came out. So-so. Isaac cannot be arrested.

"You crying?" Bu Wati's question sounded worried.

"No, Ma. I'm doing singing practice." Aminah.

"Yes already, my son. Later if it is time, you will also follow Tomi. Just be patient." Said Bu Wati.

"Yes, Mom." Reply Aminah who is still turning her back to Bu Wati.

"Here, don't cry anymore. Shame on the cat who is shy, his legs are broken so he does not cry, really." Said Mr. Haris who was sitting at the dining table.

'Well, discuss the cat again.' Inner Aminah.

"Indeed, patient learning is difficult, because the exam can come at any time. But, there is a great reward of patience itself, son. It feels like a loss if it is not used," continued Bu Wati.

Aminah is still sobbing.

"Don't cry on." Said Bu Wati.

"I'm not crying, Mom." Reply Aminah.

"No cry, how come, it sounds like that?" Ask Bu Wati again.

"I'm slicing red onions again. Hence, the tears kept on like waterfalls." Reply Aminah.

Aminah turned her back, revealing her face that might have been unfazed. In fact, just to open your eyes feels very painful.

"Astagfirullah. How come your face looks like a sombre cat, son? Don't-don't ...." Said Mr. Haris.

"Nrank ...!"

Ms. Wati and Mr. Haris laughed. Last night Mr. Haris told the tragedy of the cat to Ms. Wati. Until this morning Bu Wati was constantly laughing at the thought of the incident if it happened in front of him.

...----------------...

It was fifteen minutes ago that Aminah and Naya reached the store. Early in the morning Rendi was in the shop.

"Have breakfast?" Asked Rendi while putting a food container on the table.

Still like before, Rendi was not carelessly eating.

"Already," replied Aminah briefly.

Rendi began to enjoy his food and Aminah was always weak when faced with food. Want to ask but prestige. Whether Rendi was conscious or not, Aminah repeatedly swallowed saliva. Just telling me about last night.

"My true self-worth fell last night. You know not, if–"

Aminah's talk was cut off by a spoonful of pleasure from the chicken porridge Rendi ate.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Aminah was whipping with her mouth full.

"Open your mouth" pinta Rendi.

Aminah.

"Newly too." Rendi.

"Not that," replied Aminah while continuing to do the activity of wiping the spoon and glancing a little at the spoon full of porridge. "That's no chicken, I want to put chicken on." Aminah.

Rendi chuckled, then again scooping the porridge, but this time by adding a chicken suiran. Aminah opened her mouth with pleasure.

"His new romantic soul met after a long time apart, it feels like the world belongs to both. The others are contracted." Said Naya who was busy wiping the door glass.

"Sirik aja, envy says boss." timpal Rendi.

Rendi and Aminah did not hesitate to give each other such attention. Everyone who saw them must have thought that they were dating, but the truth was that the two were only friends.

...----------------...

In the afternoon after the cake shop closed, Rendi again came to pick up Aminah to take her to dinner. Not in a fancy restaurant. Both prefer to sit in a roadside stall or just a warteg that sells a variety of side dishes.

"Mom, I'm going home a little late today. Want to have dinner with Rendi." Aminah said when calling Bu Wati.

"Yes, but don't go home too late! Remember take care of yourself, can not refuse makeup, not yet muhrim. If it's not strong, get married." Reply Bu Wati giggled.

"Ishh Mother what the hell. I'm the same as Rendi...."

"Friends..." Connect Bu Wati. "Mom knows that. But who knows, whose name is temen it, long time can be a demen." The Toda Bu Wati.

Aminah just laughed. After hanging up the phone, Aminah and Rendi rushed to a food stall selling village menus. Naya went home first.

After ordering the full menu, the two had dinner together.

...----------------...

Motor Rendi slid away from the food stall. After dinner, the two decided to watch a movie at the cinema. After all their activities finished the hour, Aminah had already reached home. Unlike usual, the alley in Aminah's house looks crowded tonight. The time showed at 10 p.m.

After saying goodbye to Aminah, Rendi walked towards her home.

Aminah then opened the iron gate that was only as high as the waist of the adult.

"Well, come home, son?"

"Eh, cat, cat, cat!"

Aminah spontaneously chattered in shock, when she suddenly heard a voice from the front.

"Oh Allah, Father ...."

Aminah stroked her chest while looking at Mr. Haris who was wearing all-white clothes, plus a light that was only dim.

"Mother not asleep? The tumben? Usually look at the pillow directly drowsy," said Aminah as she grabbed the hand of Mr. Haris and put the back of his hand towards his nose.

"Just come home from Mr. Rudi's house in front of the road there," replied Mr. Haris.

"Sir Rudi, the original owner of the old house?" Ask Aminah.

"Yes, the fake owner has expired his contract period and happened to change his duties again. So yeah, the fake residents can't stay there anymore." Answer Mr. Haris.

"What is this Father, speaking. False dwellers, original inhabitants. Try to talk about the occupants of your child's heart," said Aminah as she walked toward the dining room, took a glass of water and sipped it to the toilet.

"Ngapain was talked about again, after all you just met, right? Duuhh happy until delivered home all." Tempta Mr. Haris.

Aminah almost choked.

"Why? Shame to be found out." Said Mr. Haris.

Aminah was silent with her face red.

"If it is suitable to be hastened, son, fear of absurdity." Said Mr. Haris.

"He's just a friend sir. I'm still afraid of starting a relationship." Reply Aminah.

"Why should you be afraid? Fear is the same as God. If you are a soul mate, you must be united. The soul mate, the sustenance, the death has been written since you were conceived, son. As strong as you survive and fight, if it is not time to mate it will not be dapet."

Aminah.

"If you are a mate, God will surely unite in His ways, which you will not even think how to." Said Mr. Haris.

Aminah smiled at Mr. Haris' words.

"Who knows, your future father-in-law will suddenly come to propose to the house." Said Mr. Haris, while walking into the room.

"Aamiin's." Aminah smiled.

Seriate....
