Bakoh Shoulder

Chapters 12. Grandarly

Bu Juju looked at Ayu who was already in front of his house. Though he has not finished making fried food for sale.

"You're so cool to Yu's sinnery. Come on in first. Did you eat yet?" Tanya Bu Juju waved her hand telling Ayu to go inside her house.

Ayu take off the sandals. Enter the house with a ceramic floor. "I've been eating chubby." Ayu said lie.

"That's your slippers taking off. Worn aja. You think again in musholla what to play loose sandals." Bu Juju's words made Ayu smile in embarrassment.

"You said your father, didn't you Yu? Don't lie to me.. Bulek do not want later your father even raged with bulek." While talking, Bu Juju is still busy with fried food in the frying pan.

"Yes a bulek." I don't know what Ayu means. He hasn't seen his dad since school.

All ready. Bu Juju and now accompanied by Ayu walk carrying a thermos of ice candles and warm fried in a large tray to TPQ where the usual Bu Juju sales.

"Udah Yu's. Just sit here. The one who buys it will come alone." Ayu. He observed a TPQ santri his age who was in the room. It would be great if he could also study there, he thought.

"You're laper Yu? It's eating.. Do not make your stomach empty. Illness will come easily if you are hungry." Bu Juju handed Ayu a pack of rice with a companion noodles and orek tempe.

"Don't keep looking. Eaten up. It's free, you don't have to pay. Take the side dishes as you like." Bu Juju is like seeing a duplicate of Nur in Ayu.

"You know Yu.. Your mother used to sell packaged and fried rice like this while still humming you. Your mother is a diligent person, likes to nolong others, anyway your mother is a good person, yes just like your father. Baby your mother is short.. She couldn't see this child growing as beautiful as she was now.." Bu Juju said sadly.

Seeing Ayu's moody expression, Bu Juju hurriedly switched the conversation. "It was eaten by Yu. If you do not want to eat, you also do not want you to join the sale here you know."

Ayu obeyed the words of Bu Juju. He took a packet of rice and ate it. Ayu quiet. Just eating rice on his lap without a sound. He also did not take any side dishes as his rice-eating friend orek tempe.

"Pantes your body is small. Eat you a minimalist Yu.." Said Bu Juju while putting the side dishes of corn bakwan and fried tempeh beside the rice that Ayu ate.

Ayu looked confused but did not dare to protest. He was afraid that Bu Juju would change his mind and forbid him from going on sale with him. Actually Ayu there also only accompanied Bu Juju, the middle-aged woman was not to heart let a child as small as Ayu around the village selling ice candles. Therefore, he only invited Ayu to sell in front of the school.

Not long ago sitting in front of TPQ, Juju ma'am merchandise was invaded by mothers who drove their children to teach. Several times the mothers there asked why Ayu joined Bu Juju, Ayu just smiled knot because the one who answered all the questions of the mothers was Bu Juju himself.

"That's the son of Teguh, right? Si Ayu's.. Very yes, that age already thought to find money. I'm sure he went to sell budhe Ju because he was told to be the same Teguh." Said the black-hooded mother after shopping for fried food at Bu Juju.

"What time is mbak? I think Teguh is not that kind of child. He's good." Start ngeghibah.

"Actually Teguh is handsome yes, dear aja kere, poor, his life is too long! Fortunately, I was not the same as him. Can't imagine if you know my nasip ka_win abis same he metong kayak si Nur." Again the original sentence was raided with laughter full of scorn by those who listened to the hibahan that afternoon.

"Lho never dated Teguh what do you say that?" The other kepo. Kepo and continue to gossip people who never offend them.

"That would be if it were.. And fortunately if I were not the case hahaha."

That's how they are, laughing at the fate of others. No matter who is gossiped by them later will be hurt or not. All they know is to gather and talk nonsense, bhibah si A to the Z did not escape the spiciness of the mouth of the mother who felt the truest himself.

"Dye.. This is almost gone. Ayu just go home. Let the rest of the bulek sell. It's late afternoon, afraid your father will find you . And these.. Bring it yes, for you as your father at home." Bu Juju gave one plastic full of fried food to Ayu.

Again Ayu refused the granting of Bu Juju. He just wanted to help his father instead of being pitied by others like this. Thinking if his father must have gone home, Ayu said goodbye to Bu Juju. He didn't want to make his father worry.

"Yu.. Here, Money services you helped bulek from earlier. Maturnuwun ya nduk ayu." Bu Juju gave fifteen thousand rupiah.

"It's a lot of bulek. A loss later." Ayu is still weighing between accepting or rejecting the giving of Bu Juju. "Especially it was bulek already give Ayu to eat.. I'm sorry bulek, Ayu even ngerepoti bulek.."

"No hassle. You think so, this is your salary. You were going to sell, even use around the complex here for ice-candle candles. Thanks to Yu. It's taken."

"Tomorrow to come again Yu. That's also if you want to." Invite Bu Juju to get a steady nod Ayu.

On the way home. Ayu continued to smile happily. He will save money from Bu Juju, later if he has a lot he will give to his father in order to pay off his father's debt to Saodah. That's what Ayu thought.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat.. Eh the father had gone home," Ayu ran to see Teguh was taking her school uniform that was dried in front of the house because of drizzle.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, just arrived. Where are you from Yu?" Tanya Teguh saw Ayu running from the end of the road.

"Father from TPQ sir." Ayu answered while taking her shoes which she also sunbaked after school earlier.

Steadily frowning his forehead. "Remain to TPQ? A njai? I haven't signed you up there Yu." Tanya Teguh astonished.

"No sir.. Ayu help bulek sell fried food with ice candle was there." Speak frankly.

Steady stopping instantly at where he was standing as he was about to head for the kitchen, after hearing Ayu's words.
