From the outside there was a noise of the exhaust of the approaching motor and followed by several motors that stopped in front of the boarding house.
The four women stared at each other in wonder, wondering who? but Susan felt familiar with the noise of the motor exhaust.
"Who?" ask Goddess.
Susan moved from her seat to open the window curtain and the woman opened the door.
Teguh, Rendi, Beni and Ari were sitting on a motorcycle while playing a mobile phone, waiting for news from the woman who had not been able to be contacted.
They looked at Susan who opened the door, "Remain?" susan asked out of the room.
"I think it's just you, but the others are also hard to call. So get over here!" he approached Susan.
"The man is compact as well" said Dewi then moved from his seat out of the room and approached by Beni.
Ira and Anggi stared at each other, "It's not finished yet, is it? they bother you, don't they?" ask Anggi.
"No papa." Ira smiled looking at Ari outside who was sitting on the motorbike while looking at her.
Anggipun moved from his seat out following the others, "San already at 00:34, papa not?" tanyakanya.
"No papa, be free here just don't disturb the people!" answer Susan.
"There's really nothing you can connect with?" tanya Rendi sat beside Anggi.
"You're opening up to each other and secrets so you can't be bothered, right?" Anggi smiled looking at Susan.
Ira was still sitting leaning against the wall while looking at Ari who had been staring at her without coming.
Anggi went into the room approaching Ira, "Pity is Ari!"
"Let's go," Ira smiled, "Although not everything is in the story but at least this heart has been a little relieved, but?" Ira looked at Anggi.
"What?"
"There's fear now, fear what if Ari finds out?"
"As long as we keep quiet, it won't happen. Lo a player. Lo great at hiding, the evidence so far no one knows, right?"
"Yes," Ira saw her phone reading all the messages from Ari.
Anggi came out, and Ari went into the room to get to Ira and sat in front of her.
Grabbing Ira's phone and seeing her, "Co's not bales?" tanyanya put her phone back.
"Aren't you working?"
"I asked? I'm home, mom, now it'll be 1 night."
"Gapain come here?"
"You can not be contacted, continue to be firm with Rendi as well as your name. It was followed directly here, afraid to go without telling." he rubbed Ira's lips.
Brushed his hand, scrambling Ari's hair. "Where is the story worried?"
Ari smilingly looked at him, "Would you eat?"
"Udah was,"
"The fires?" ask Ari to the others.
They looked, "Can? have you eaten yet?" ask Susan.
"Jude yuk? we haven't eaten either."
"You want to eat, do you want to be with me here?" tanya Ira rubbed Ari's neck.
"That's all you know," Ari smiled at him.
"Basic!" ruffled hair.
Susan goes into the room followed by Anggi, "You want to burn Ri's chicken?" tanyakanya.
Ari just nodded while opening her purse giving 100 grand to Susan.
"really this?" ask Anggi.
"Here you go, suck." Susan out.
"Dew's? same as buying chicken, right? you know Ben?"
"Just like Rendi, the girl in them is lazy!" Beni received the money Susan gave her.
"Yuk Ren?" bring him.
"Now's liwet rice cooking?" susan asked everyone.
"Whose lemongrass is the same as San's bay leaf?" ask Ira.
"There's behind the kosan, have to take it first."
"Take it, I'll cook the rice" said Ira while tying her hair with a clip.
"Ehh, Ben?" shout Ira. Beni and Rendi who were already sitting on the motor were staring at him.
"What?"
"Buy the chicken directly in the chopin there, right? it's malem, males mengurusin later the smell of rancid!" said Ira.
"Oh yeah," they left on the bike.
"Dew, you wash the rice, right? later Ira the spice." said Susan out of the room walking to the kitchen located behind the boarding house and then followed by the Goddess.
"What are we doing?" tanya Anggi looked at Ira.
Susan came with a knife in her hand, "Nggi? temenin the goddess tuh, I want to take lemongrass as greetings."
"Yuk anther?" take it to Teguh.
There's only Ira and Ari there now, "Do you see?" said Ira.
"See what?"
"Your phone?"
"Tumbens?" Ari smiled as she gave her phone.
"And I don't chat as well as refuse your call, afraid you're bored continue to contact others."
Ari smiled, "Woman from where? you are enough!"
"lik! deleted yes?"
"Did what, dear?" Ari rubbed Ira's hair.
Put the phone back, "No ko, kidding!" Moving from his seat stood in front of Ari.
"Where?"
"Rice cooking." walked out of the room followed by Ari up to the kitchen.
It looks like he is sitting while smoking. While Dewi washes the rice, Anggi cuts the onions and chili, then susan is washing lemongrass and bay leaves.
"Old time is it Beni?" tanya Dewi finished washing the rice.
After she finished, she took him to Susan's room because her magic com was stored there.
Not long after the sound of the motor, Teguh and Rendi came while carrying a black plastic bag containing chickens.
"This other guy?" ask Beni.
"Kitchen, they're there. Just pile of wood!" answer Ira.
The woman sat down looking at her phone there was an unanswered call from Sindi.
"Tuut tuut!!" he called back.
"Yes?" the female voice from the.
"What's the call?"
"So grandma wants to talk, she said, just a minute."
Ira leaned against the wall, looking out, Beni and Teguh were piling wood to burn meat.
"Miss?" the voice of Grandma called.
"Yes grandma?"
"So grandma talked to your mom, she probably never apologized for her bad words. But grandma asks, do not be too in thought yes neng? your mother was like that."
"Yes no papa nek, Ira will be strong" he said with a sad feeling because he recalled what his mother said.
"Grandmother knows this will never be forgotten, as well as the pain. But, try to be sincere and forgive, right? grandma's grandson is strong."
Not noticeably, the woman's tears fell down her cheeks. "Lies if I am strong, I am weak. Very weak." he said in his heart.
"Yes Grandma," he answered, holding his chest tight.
"Dengerin grandma! if you don't go home right now, it doesn't matter. Grandma believes the same, but you have to take care of your health, right? the meal. You are unlucky to have parents like your mother and father, suppose they die and you don't need them. Grandma's granddaughter?" that word made Ira's chest tight.
Unable to fool himself, this time Ira could not hold back her tears. "From time to time I tried not to hope for my mother or father, but they are alive and sometimes the heart always assures that there will be a time when they understand and try to understand what I want and feel. But that would never happen." the woman spoke to herself as she wiped her cheek-drenched tears.
"Hehe may be grandma knows how strong your granddaughter is." covered up her grief.
Anggi went into the room to see Ira crying, he asked why? noiseless.
"From this bitter life grandmother was very lucky, because she had beautiful and strong grandchildren who grew up without their parents. I'm sorry that grandma can't be the parent she expects to be?" he said while crying.
"Don't say that, grandma and grandpa are the best parents. Already! don't cry, neng so follow sad hehe. Want to eat this again grilled chicken equally calm." divert the conversation so that his tears do not flow profusely, because if seen by others it can change the atmosphere to be uncomfortable.
"Yes eat neng let strong hehe." trying to comfort each other.
Anggi sitting in front of him went out of the room somewhere.
"Yes Grandma, it's a long time ago, Ira again wants to make this sauce."
"Yes, eat neng. Don't ambush!"
"Yes." ended the call.
"Sometimes wonder at yourself why is it this strong? if it wasn't for grandpa and grandma maybe I wouldn't be this strong. But it is strange that the more today this heart is getting weaker, I am tired of always convincing myself that I am strong. The truth is not." he said patting his chest felt tight.
Ari came over, the woman immediately wiped her tears with a tissue. His chest felt tight and the only way to get better was to pat him repeatedly.
"Udah!" Ari holds Ira's hand.
Staring at Ari, if it was just the two maybe the woman was already crying in her arms. But because of his circumstances, being ordinary was a better thing compared to ruining the atmosphere.
"Do you want to be hugged or kissed?" ari asked comfortingly.
"Basic!" hitting his shoulder laughed softly.
"Raa?" susan shouted into the room.
"What San?" stared at him.
"Bikin sambal okay?"
Ira nodded and Susan returned to the kitchen.
"Wake up, look!" Ira pointed at Beni, Rendi, and Teguh who were lighting a fire.
Ira moves from her seat to the kitchen leaving Ari, the man sees Ira's phone but there is no message that makes her cry. In his heart he was curious to know why? but now he could only save that question first.
Anggi, Susan and Dewi looked at Ira who had just arrived in the kitchen.
"The chicken was boiled first, right?" Ira asked while confirming her hair.
"Burn the chicken in the soy sauce, right?" ask again while looking at the three friends.
"Plaaac!! why the hell?" Ira hit the table.
"Lo cry? why?" ask Susan.
"No, I'll tell you later if there's still time to tell."
"Why?" scream Susan.
They all looked at Susan shouting at Ira.
"What the hell is San?" Ira yelled at Susan.
"What am I having problems? I asked why? but your answer is always papa, sane you?"
"Gue doesn't understand San, just that doang lo nyampe snapped I'm like this! prangg!!!" Ira throws a knife at the dish rack, causing a noise.
"Udah!! what the hell are you guys?" said the Goddess approaching Susan rubbed her shoulders.
"Deliver!! do not interfere lo," brushed off the hand of the Goddess. "Gue was angry with you Ra. It was all a story but now, you can still be closed to me. I'm just asking why? because I care about you?!" Susan really looks angry.
Ari, Teguh, and Rendi approached them because of the sound of noise and snapped.
"But don't have to snap me too San, I also cape must always cover all my problems." Susan cuts, "I'll ask you why? how hard it is to answer."
"Gue told you later, now is not the right time. I also don't want to ruin the atmosphere, but why are you even snapping at me?" Ira said while holding her chest that felt tight.
"That first snapped it's lo Ra not me!"
"Oh yeah?" Anggi cut, "Udah!! you two have a problem what the hell?"
"Misunderstand me!" Ira left the kitchen to the room.
Anggi, the Goddess and the others stared at each other in wonder, what was with the two of them? for the first time they fought and yelled at each other.
Firmly approaching Susan invited her to sit at the side to calm down, as well as Ari approached Ira to the room.
The woman fell silent, "What's wrong here?" in thought.
Ari approached her, "Mom? why anyway? really surprised, because it's your first time gini!" he said he was embracing Ira.
Ira looked out, seen Beni preparing grilled chicken accompanied by Rendi and Anggi.
The woman got up from her seat. When I was going out of the room, Susan came. They stared at each other, "I'm sorry I snapped you?" said Susan.
Ira smiled in her arms, "Gak papa ko, I understand. Because you care and love me. Thanks for that."
"That's you understand, I love you Ra"
The two women made up by apologizing to each other and hugging.
Ari and the others just stared and let it go.
