When the bell came home from school was ringing, all the students tidied up their stationery, after saying hello and shaking hands I immediately rushed home. I was in class with Rizal and he went home first, before he greeted me first.
Just as I set foot out the classroom door, Asep was already at the door greeting me with a smile and asking me to put my hands on my right hand and say "Yo!". I replied, we then chatted while walking and he took me home together, it seems like he did not care about the rest in the bathroom.
Asep was sometimes picked up by his mother using an alphard car and also sometimes we ride the transport together, this time he was picked up. I was always invited home together when Asep was picked up, actually I did not want to come because of the fear of trouble but I also did not feel good to refuse his invitation, moreover his mother also invited me.
My house and Asep are 5 km away if only up to the fork that goes to my house, his house near our SDN first. Asep and I sat in the back seat and his mother was driving, so we went home.
"How was school, okay?".
Mama Asep started the conversation, she saw us who were behind through the glass. I answered the question.
"Alhamdulillah. Smoothly aja aunty".
"Good then. ... If mom is the same papa you how is Raj? They're all healthy?".
"Thank God, everything is healthy!"
"Alhamdulillah, thank God if you are healthy. Aunty has not met your mother for a long time and the plan is now aunty wants to stop by your house to silahturahmi!".
"Yeah! dear aunt, mama again returned home the same village papa, he said want to mourn to the tomb. Raj was willing to come but he said mending school just as keep the house. Mom says she'll be home next week."
"Oh, that's okay, maybe next time. ... You dare to be alone in Raj's house?".
"Raj dares because it's big too right. The important thing is that there is still food in the refrigerator as well as pocket money. While it all there wants to stay home alone also for Raj sih gapapa." I smiled faintly, Asep and his mother chuckled.
"You can be like a aunt. He also every lived with his parents just ask for pocket money with food, never the other".
That is clear, men are used to living alone at home and sometimes there are men who are happy if alone at home.
"It's obvious ma! A real man does not want to trouble his parents, it is better to ask for pocket money and food alone than anything else that can be burdensome!".
Asep said that confidently, but isn't that the same? After hearing that, we all laughed together.
"Mama's son could have. Then later if you are equally papa want to go abroad for example to Japan, Turkey, and France you are not invited yes, at home! Later mamah love the same snacks food a lot!".
Mama Asep said that while continuing to look at Asep in the glass, he smiled.
"Wait a minute, if that's a different story! When it comes to overseas Asep must come!"
"So he said 'true men don't want to bother both parents.' right Raj? He said that, right?".
Mama Asep blinked one eye while smiling at me.
I gave a small nod in doubt, "I-iya aunt, Asep said that." I looked at Asep while talking small. "Sorry Sep!".
Asep seemed to be thinking hard, he was at a loss for words, his face looked solemn.
"Oh Raj, what about it? There is no gap in the anjir!" Answer in a small voice.
Mama Asep who saw us whispering laughed and spoke.
"Mama was just kidding, baby. Mama will take you out of the country! How could mommy equally enjoy a vacation without you our two favorite children!".
Asep was relieved to hear it, he sighed.
As time went on, we finished the trip by chatting while laughing. The car was so big and comfortable, I wanted to have my own car. But after thinking about it again, mending buy KLX motorbike!
It did not feel like we finally reached the fork that was heading towards my house.
"Till here a aunt!"
Aunty braked her car across the street.
"Eh! Let aunt Anterin get to your house Raj!".
"No need for aunty, Raj aja. It's a little far and the road is muddy, narrow anyway. Aunt's car gets dirty!".
I feel bad if Asep's mom takes me home on such a street. Unless your mom is at home, they can chat first not just drive me.
"Ehh! it's okay, than a long way off".
"Tau you Raj, you'll walk far".
"That's okay, Raj doesn't want to be too much of a hassle. Better walk, thanks a lot already nganterin Raj".
I bowed myself a little to honor and form my gratitude.
"Yes, be careful! Watch out for falling on the street!".
"Yes aunt. Again, thanks a lot." I shake hands in the car.
"Sama-sama, there is no need to hesitate. You're like a new aunt." He smiled, I smiled.
"Yes aunt. ... Sep, cave first yes".
I invited him with such hands at school, we were also postulated.
"Yoo! Be careful!".
After that I went down and waved to the two of them and was countered by them. Then I went straight across because the road was quiet and left them.
They saw me from behind in the car.
"From the time he never changed, he was a good and understanding boy. You're lucky to have a close friend like Raj".
"Yes ma, Raj is different from all my friends. He's my best friend .. no, he's my best friend!" Asep smiled, his mother was the same.
"Yosh! we buy rice in front to eat. You want a baby?".
"Of course you will, Asep is hungry. Asep wants to buy the 50 grand package!".
"You want to buy a package of 100 thousand mama will also buy for your favorite only child!".
Hearing these words made Asep feel happy and proud, he nodded with his hands holding each other.
"Humhumd. Lucky Asep became the only child!" Her mother laughed at Asep's words.
