"Mamaaaaa, I'm home." I screamed at my mom who was cooking.
Mama came up to me, hugged and kissed me, her eyes glazed over. Maybe he felt a longing, considering that I had never come home since the last time I left for Subang.
" Have you come home, baby? wh why? not work at it". Ask Mama.
I told him everything that happened while I was working there.
" Oh yes Ma, this is Akbar, my girlfriend." I looked at Mama with embarrassment.
"Mother" . Akbar approached Mama and kissed her stage hand.
"Son Akbar, come in here son" . Mama let Akbar in.
"Come in. Don't be ashamed" . I swept her into the living room while holding her hand.
"What do you drink, son? coffee or milk?" Ask Mama a little scream.
" Just water, ma'am, don't bother" . Reply Akbar.
This is not the first time Akbar played to my house, he should have gotten used to Mama. However, every time he visited always when Mama was not at home.
I followed Mama into the kitchen, and then Mama whispered.
"How long have you been with him?". Smilingly.
" From 1st grade of Ma High School, why?". I held my shame.
" Your new Ko?".
" New to Ma, after all he had also been here. But, it just so happened that Mama was leaving". I said turning over while walking, and delivering drinks to Akbar.
Akbar drank a mouthful of water that I gave him before finally saying goodbye. He asked Mama for permission to take me to his house. I was hesitant at first, considering it was my first time to visit a man's house, but he finally managed to convince me to go with him. Yes it will be until when we date, if he is my partner gradually we will get married, and of course his house will be my home too, right?
"Ma, Akbar wants to take Naura home, okay?". Akbar asked with a smile.
"May, but don't go home tonight". Mama returned Akbar's smile. Yes mama is so good today, even though in her school days she was very protective of me, let alone a boyfriend. The friend he chose, should not be friends with that one, should be close to this one, yes that's how mom treated her only daughter he loved so much.
This time he was so understanding, he was a friend in my life, Mama understood me very much, he was rarely angry with me, Mama also spoiled me even though I was 18 years old, in her eyes I looked like a baby who had just turned 8 months old.
"Akbar pamit ya Ma" . Kissing the back of your hand.
"Yes, my heart. " Mama drove us to the front of the house waving her right hand.
Akbar drove his metic motor very nicely. The distance between Akbar and me did not take 15 minutes to get to his house.
"It's here" . Akbar.
The house is quite crowded, there are a lot of small children running around and around me and Akbar who is still standing in the front yard of the house, his family is so warm, his family is so warm, especially Mr. Adam and Ms. Susi, both of Akbar's parents, everyone looked at me curiously making me look down in shame.
Not far from the highway, where Akbar's house into the alley, right on the right and left of his house is the house of Grandma and Tante, the sister of Bu Susi. Not only that, almost all of his neighbors still have ties as relatives, no wonder if there are so many small children wandering in his house.
On some terraces of the house seen mothers gathered together, ria, laughing together aware of the arrival of someone who is quite foreign in their eyes once in a while they glanced at me with friendly gazes then whispered to each other. I don't know what they're talking about there.
"Yes, Paaa.." Akbar yelling.
" Yes a" . Sahut Bu Susi's.
"Where? " . Adam walked out of the room.
" Co pretty a , where's your name?" . Mr. Adam teased Akbar with a small laugh.
I smiled withstanding shame, then nimbly kissed the back of Mr. Adam's hand. Before long a fat woman about 38 years old came out of the kitchen and took me in.
"This is Mama's future daughter-in-law? , ko you never said if you had a boyfriend" . Said Susi, she let me into her house.
"Let's go in " . Adam's sir allowed me to come in.
"Would you drink what Neng?". Ask Susi.
"You need Ma, don't bother." I looked down once in a while at the Pink painted room with a brown sofa and a few floral fits located in several places.
"Ngerepotin ko" . Susi replied, she looks very nice and friendly.
"Yes, just water" . I smiled looking at her slightly aging face.
Susi delivered a drink and put it on the table right in front of me. He sits beside me. Akbar passed by leaving us somewhere.
"A Akbar how many brothers Ma?" . I dared to ask first.
" There are 3, Akbar is the first child, adeknya one girl and one guy". Answer Susi ma'am steady.
" Tomorrow there's a family event, you're coming along ". Said Ms. Susi.
" Tomorrow? Yes Ma insya alloh, Neng dateng."
"Mom again cook, Mama stay in the kitchen ya". Susi stood up as she passed leaving me alone in the living room.
Before long Akbar returned with a teenage girl, wearing a blue-white uniform with long and straight hair, tanned and almost the same height as me .
"Greetings dong Dek, same Tetehnya. Maen nyelonong aja" Akbar admonished the girl.
The girl smiled at me, I stood facing her, she took the back of my hand and kissed her, apparently she was Akbar's youngest sister. Even after all this time we had a new relationship this time I got a chance to meet him in person.
"Tomorrow I won't come along". I sulked at Akbar.
"Kan Mama has invited you, yes you have to join dong". He looked at me hoping I would give him a yes answer.
" I'm ashamed, there must be a lot of people there". I said again.
" It's okay there's me who slalu nemenin you" . Akbar kissed my forehead.
Long enough we chatted, quite a long conversation, even his parents without hesitation invite me to talk to make me comfortable close to them.
" It was evening home" . Take me to Akbar.
" Maaa, I'll take Naura home first".
"Kok hurry anyway neng, Mama is still kangen loh, mama just had one daughter was playing anyway, so Mama sometimes lonely at home alone" Susi held both of my hands as if I was not willing to leave her.
"Yes Ma, it was late afternoon. Neng had to go home afraid Mama was worried" I grabbed Susi's right hand and kissed her, as well as Mr. Adam.
They stared at us with smiles and hands. I want to live forever with them.
