I re-tinkered after the prayer, read some news from the sponsor link on facebook. Following the development of covid-19 which is increasingly becoming an enemy of humans on earth. Like ABG labile once in a while I stare at the ceiling of the room to relax and enjoy the night with a chest that feels relieved, but hp still in the grasp. No more burden on the heart. Happy after meeting with Bang Zamy. I don't know, my feelings have also changed since I found out I wasn't his real sister. There are passionate excites. There was a subtle feeling of wanting to love her more than just a sister.
"Naura...." Suddenly, my mother returned to disperse the illusions and facts in my mind.
"Yes mom...." I jumped out of the room immediately.
"Eat a little rice, son, you haven't eaten it yet." I saw that mom had brought a plate of rice complete with the side dish. This is how my mother let go of my longing that sometimes only comes home to Mentok once a month. He bribed me to eat a spoonful of two spoons, the rest I continued myself eating.
"Whom brought rice with whom?" Apparently bang Zamy has returned from the mosque. I'm the one who didn't hear the motor. She lifted a spoonful of rice towards me.
"Aaaa mam...." Bang Zamy teased me. I shut myself up to be fed. I took the plates and spoons from my mother and bribed myself while watching the television program.
"Seems like I've gotten along with mom's kids?" She hugged my shoulder with her right hand.
"Who is fighting? We did get along, Bee...." Bang Zamy raised his right hand to take me tosh.
"Tooooshhh!" We compact laugh. Mom blinks her lips.
"Halaaaahh.... Yesterday came a report crying with the annoyance but can not be angry with his sister. There was another coming said Bude Marni with a tangled face, just now to the dining table even cry again, also annoyed and feel guilty about his brother. How the hell are you guys...." Mom grumbled at our compactness.
"Hehe.., we were compact from the beginning, ma'am...." Bang Zamy is flirting mischievously at me. Mom just sneered.
"Alhamdulillah if you get along...." Mom answered while moving the channel, watching a meal by a padlocked artist who was eager to eat.
"Naura does not want to fuss kok ma'am...." I chimed.
"Just sulking." Bang Zamy cut my words.
"Where is it?" I stopped bribing my nose and looked at her smiling with my mother.
"Had his love is indeed scornful, one little brother didiemin...." Bang Zamy back nyerocos. I'm upset about it. Mom started to take a deep breath.
"Naura ngambek if you've been late." I'm insistent.
"Through what wong often brother does not know wrong what suddenly he is silent mom...." Bang Zamy made a plea. In my heart a little allow I do like sulking, especially to bang Zamy. It was from TK until we were both specialists.
"Ah never ah feelings." I hold on to my stance.
" Of Often." Bang Zamy denied me.
"When?" I answered while pretending to think.
"Just often."
"Lied ah...."
"Ask me to try, who sulks the most?" Bang Zamy threw a question at mom. But mother did not answer, instead stood staring at us alternately. He shook his head muttering as he walked towards the front door. Dad's home.
"How about you get married.., you don't get bored of what fusses continue...." She held her mouth while walking. We just look at each other meaningfully.
"Assynolt...." Father greetings.
"Waalaikumsalam. I walked into the living room and hugged my father like I was when I was a little girl. I'm used to welcoming my dad home from work. I took it with a bag of white crackles in his hand. Sweet martabak typical Bangka.
"Why go home alone? Why wasn't Zamy the day after tomorrow?" Dad stroked my hair.
"Bang Zamy where to take Naura. He was pretentious yesterday." I glanced nosily at bang Zamy as I passed him sitting in the living room. Bang Zamy threatened me with his fists. I retaliated by sticking my tongue out at him. Mother even pinched the squash into the ear of bang Zamy.
"It's like your own sister's like a bone-crab cat."
"He's the mom who's always looking for anything." Bang Zamy took the remote and the channel changed to a Western movie. I put martabak on the plate, waw the chocolate and cheese flavor. Seductive of my taste, the father knows the favorite of girls besides satay padang.
"What time did Naura come? Next time don't bring your own car. I'm so worried about knowing you're bringing your own car again. I can ask the office guy to pick you up." Dad opened the black suit he was wearing and put it on the dining chair. Mom picked it. I looked at me full of love. His attention was the one that had cheated my heart for decades. I thought he was my real father.
"Okay dad." I answered.
"Or like Zamy if lazy driving himself, he rode a car rental, alone, until, safe." Dad's still worried.
"Ready dad...." I throw my thumb at the nodding father.
"Dad want a hot shower?" I asked my father while biting a piece of martabak.
"The water's almost ripe on deck...." Dad pointed with his mouth while unbuttoning the shirt. I looked towards the mother who was already standing near the stove. I bent my head in the pot in front of my mom. The water had already started to bubble a little, a little more definitely boiling. My soul is ashamed.
"Haha...." Bang Zamy approached me laughing loudly.
"Why bang?" I made gregetan.
"Why don't you wait for me to finish bathing first, Naura asked 'well want a warm bath what is cold water? Or lemon ice water?' Bang Zamy made fun of me. His mouth was muffling to imitate me. Mom and Dad laughed. They looked and shook their heads. I don't know what's on their minds. While bang Zamy still made fun of me, he offered to cook hot water for his bath. Feeling upset I chased the Zamy bang who started to move away towards the side porch near the parent bird cages were swirling. I tickled his waist and nape. Not satisfied tickling then I pinch his arm until reddened.
"Dad mother please Zamy, her aura is possessed. Pinch until the red is right...." Bang Zamy yelling. I don't care, and keep pinching it.
"Hahaha pardon deck geez, big brother, sorry sorry sorry. Haha.... Anyway the eyes to the martabak continue, time did not see the mother fill the pot with tap water earlier...." Bang Zamy sat down. Breath gasping. I was shaking my waist in front of him.
"Don't try to bother the princess again." I pretended to be angry and extended my right hand towards the Zamy bang. Bang Zamy caught my hand and stood up, then took me back to walk near my mother. I'm not around anymore, maybe I've been to his room to take a shower. Just mom sitting alone enjoying the martabak that dad brought.
"Stay well, son, and stay with you." Mom alternately looked at me and bang Zamy without stopping chewing the martabak. Me and bang Zamy looked at each other and smiled together. Mom just pretended not to see our affection.
***
Exactly at 10 p.m. On the sidelines of our jest. Suddenly I asked for time to talk seriously. We are ready to listen while occasionally enjoying the variety of fresh fruit that the mother bought after work. Tivi's turned off, it's a sign dad is going to talk seriously, and it's already happening.
"Zamy and Naura...." Dad started talking while taking off the fish food bag in his hand. I just finished feeding the fish at home. We did not answer, just nodded our heads ready to listen. I sat on the carpet near my mother, while bang Zamy sat on the sofa himself. Slowly, I moved to sit near him.
"Thank God I'm grateful you guys made a noise this time. Can gather together at home and it seems no longer noisy." Dad stopped for a moment. We're all quiet. I just took turns staring at Dad and occasionally glanced towards the Zamy bang. Mother peeled the apple and fed it to me.
"Continuing to discuss your mother's vows first.., I feel it's time you got married son. You're all grown up, uh even old, soon gray hair...." Dad laughed with a pinched mother's hand to his shoulder.
"Naura is still young well, bang Zamy who is already gray." I say smile.
"Boy alone, usually the most chatty is the fast old." Bang Zamy taunted me. Father and mother returned only able to smile and look at each other.
"Already, the point is because you are old and very well established, then we hope you get married soon...." Dad continued on in a quick tone.
"Married in covid season huh?" Bang Zamy responded.
"It's okay, son. What matters is just the validity first. Reception later. So fast soon you are legal husband and wife." Father replied.
"Yes let it be good to stay together, sahur and open together. This one is in the same sahur clinic as Ridwan and his wife. One on the New Way sahurnya himself." Mother added. He looked at me alternately with a Zamy bang. Me and bang Zamy look at each other.
"How son? If I tell you today...." I'm talking again.
"But yeah.., sorry before dad and mom. Hemzzz.., Naura has met her biological parents anyway, should not father and mother talk about it first with them." Bang Zamy sat up straight explaining. Both hands are intertwined. I just kept quiet. Mom and Dad nodded.
"Yes ma'am, Zamy's right. Or we go to Pangkalpinang again next Saturday to discuss this with his biological parents." I agree with Bang Zamy. Mother just shut up. His hands were still engrossed in peeling off half a pear.
"How's mom? How silent?" Dad poked mom's shoulder. Mom just shut up. His face was thinking something.
"Mom how?" Zamy asked to see mom's whisper.
"Mother's afraid they won't agree to you getting married." Mom slowly answered.
"Lho why?" Dad asked directly. Mom releases the knife and slices of guava pear onto the plate. He's getting closer to me. Holding my right thigh.
"Dad knows, Erlinda, uh I mean mother, her birth mother Naura was even insistent on wanting to marry Nina to Zamy. How many times he wants to make an all-out proposal." Mother's face began to be burdened with her own thoughts.
"Lhaaa.., but the one who will marry Zamy. It is Zamy who has the right to decide who to make his wife." I spoke while staring at Bang Zamy. Bang Zamy looked at Naura.
"Honestly I never thought about marrying Nina. I knew him from the moment he started college. I know exactly what it's like with a lot of men."
"But it looks like you've been dating?" Mom cut off talk bang Zamy.
"That's what ugly Naura means?" I looked at bang Zamy annoyed.
"Yaaahhh.., you didn't say that.., but if anyone feels it might be a fact, it's so, ma'am...." Bang Zamy smiled at mom. Mom threw it with a chair pillow.
"That's it.... By janss...." Bang Zamy miso-miso while picking up the pillow that fell near his feet.
"Saturday we will go to Pangkalpinang to discuss it with your biological parents Naura. But I hope the marriage will be carried out immediately before entering the fast." As soon as father concluded our conversation that had not yet come to fruition.
"You'll just call him, sir Ramnya." Mom gave me an idea.
"It would mean to discuss the important thing to meet in person mom. If only through the phone is afraid there is less fitting later." Father replied. Mother also nodded. I looked again at Bang Zamy.
"Next week we'll discuss it with Naura's biological parents." Dad's back talking.
"okay." Bang Zamy replied. I nodded, and so did my mother.
"Sleep you boys, he said tomorrow to go to Pangkalpinang again. Remember don't fuss, you guys are old!" Father spoke by putting emphasis on the old word. Me and bang Zamy smiled. Mother returned the empty plate with the knife to the kitchen.
"Have you slept, Modesh meow...." Mom dropped by the couch again kissing my cheek.
"May God wake us up in good health...." I kissed Mom's cheek in return. Bang Zamy looked at us with a smile.
"Sleep Bee, tomorrow you will go to Pangkalpinang nyopir yourself...." Bang Zamy spoke to me while standing up.
"Nyopir himself? Ogah ah, there's a bang Zamy." I retaliated.
"Enak only, it's a difficult turn you can ride the car. Brother's turn really needs to be unobtainable." Bang Zamy replied indifferently. I'm starting to pout.
"It's not so bang...." I'm pasting.
"Relieve it! Tomorrow brother asks for help anter the same employee in his office father. Let's just sleep in the car." Bang Zamy is again talking shitty.
"Huh! You should thank Naura!" I talked to bang Zamy.
"On what basis?" Bang Zamy approached and sat down next to me.
"Avoid of corona." I'm talking it's getting fierce.
"Why can it?" Bang Zamy pretended not to know.
"It was not yesterday that two hospital directors were present in Bogor in the meeting who wanted to attend brother died and dozens confirmed Positive now." I'm seriously talking.
"How do you know?" Bang Zamy nodded at me.
"Doctor Ilham told Naura." I answered ketus. Bang Zamy's face instantly turned red.
"Why can you talk to Ilham? When's kecemaunnya? Whereabouts? Discussing anything?" Bang Zamy began not because the question seabreg-abreg without pause.
"Join' jealous?" I teased bang Zamy.
"Ngapain jealous. Wong's brother likes Nina." Bang Zamy knocked on my head, then hurriedly went towards his room. I caughtup. I opened the door that was unlocked.
"Mbak Nindya we a Naura asked brother." I'm delivering a message.
"Had called, his mother had taken medicine." With a relaxed bang Zamy replied. He's lying on the bed.
"Can you know them? Since when?" I asked from the front door. Bang Zamy sit down.
"Must you explain to the door or Naura comes in." Bang Zamy answered me.
"A quick glance, Naura was just curious." I still held my head out of the door. Bang Zamy got up from his seat. He took off the phone in his hand and then pointed it at me, at the door of his room.
"Why does Naura want to know?"
"Just out of curiosity."
"There's no such reason, go to bed. Bang Zamy will close the door. I'm holding.
"Naura wants to know because she's Naura's sister." I justify my reasons.
"That's dong." Bang Zamy pulled me back into the living room.
"It used to be when Nindya got pregnant. At that time my brother visited the house of his son, Pak Haji Soleh, who had a chicken farm in front of his house in Nindya. My brother was invited to the farm. Well accidentally brother saw him walking in pain holding his stomach and hips. Brother with Ridho his son Pak Soleh was approaching him. Apparently Nindya almost gave birth, she just returned home from a taxi to sell vegetables at the morning market. His ojek did not want to take him in fear of driving people just pretending to be pregnant and thought Nindya begal plotters. Brother get Nindya up to the car, brother take her to the hospital. About ten minutes into the hospital, Nindya was spontaneous. He should have been taken care of so he could stay overnight but he insisted on going home. After hearing the explanation, my brother understood. There was a paralyzed woman waiting for him to come home. He's worried. Finally, the brother and the midwife and nurse brought Nindy and her baby into the house in the garden. Justjust wonderful. And in his house there was not a single piece of baby clothes. So the baby still wears a cloth from the hospital. He then drove the midwife and nurse home to the hospital, then stopped by Junior.
"By buying baby gear?" I cut.
"Yes. Funny thing is that you are confused about what to buy first. Finally my brother said. 'Ce.., cece.., please prepare all a dozen-dozen paraphernalia for the new person giving birth.' Finally less than an hour waiting for all the needs to be gathered. Pempers also brother directly buy 5 packs that size S contents 44 pieces."
"How many did you buy?" I'm curious.
"Top two thousand five hundred to seven million."
"Continue?" I'm getting curious.
"Keep brother delivered to his house in the garden. They're shocked. Didn't expect my brother would come back. Nindya and her mother were endlessly crying in gratitude. You know that baby deck?"
"Why?"
"He's peed and ee, the hospital's cloth has been replaced. But wear it with a sarong. Brother asked why there was no preparation, they said all the baby equipment was in the house of her ex-husband. From that moment on, my brother was close to them. Abang once a month shopping for basic necessities for them. And Naura knows not?"
"What bang?"
"Abang felt comfortable with them because he first saw Nindya, brother felt he had seen you. Brother feels like looking after them is taking care of you. Naura was still taking a specialist."
"Why never tell a story? It's worth it Naura was surprised there was a shopping receipt for groceries fell on the floor near the brother hanging a jacket. I asked Mairoh he doesn't shop that much." I started to remember. For some reason, my admiration for this handsome doctor is growing. My love is also for her. I looked at the man who had taken care of me from this little girl. Back the coils of comfort flow, present adorn the deepest recesses of the heart.
"Thank you very much." I hugged the confused Zamy bang.
"For what?" With calm bang Zamy replied.
"Have taken care of my sister." I'm talking again.
"I don't feel and don't know she's your sister."
"Thank you...." I'm back to thank you.
"For what else?"
"Have taught me many good things." I took off my arms, looking affectionately at bang Zamy who rubbed my head.
"Sleep.., tomorrow you drive yourself to Pangkalpinang."
"Relieve it!"
"Who's gonna take your car?"
"My husband-to-be?"
"Who would want to be the husband of such a chatty girl?"
"There's."
"Who?"
"Ghost."
"I'm not a ghost...."
"Lagian kepedean ngaku himself as a husband candidate Naura, wekkk...." I left after making fun of him. Bang Zamy went to his room. The night is getting late. Occasionally the sound of lizards hissing in search of food crumbs. I slowly closed my eyes while enjoying so many stories milling in my brain ahead of the night dream.
