Don't Want to Be Pathetic: NIGHT BUTTERFLIES
Section 79

The vibration of the mobile phone from the call that had been deliberately not answered damaged the calm of the two women.
Ira who was engrossed in eating was astonished to notice Dina whose face changed immediately staring at the phone screen.
"Who?" ask Ira slowly.
Dina just hinted Ira to shut up, "What the hell is Mam?" said Dina put the phone in her ear.
"Not turned? don't go without your mother's knowledge"
"Eat the prayer, wait"
"That same kid of yours? don't try to go or take him, snot! you're not going anywhere"
"Whisper!" Dina let out a long breath putting back her phone.
"Udah?" dina asked looking at Ira as she went to pay for their food.
"Who? tati's mom?"
"Crazy woman!" the answer stood in front of Ira igniting a roko.
Similarly, Ira drank a glass of warm tea served, she washed her hands with soap and reflected for a while before coming out of the place to eat.
Selsai ate the two back home, walking through the forest in silence making Ira wonder what Tati's mother said after telling them to return immediately? did it hurt Dina's feelings? or words that should not be spoken? so now Dina just kept quiet without a word, making Ira feel awkward to start her chat.

"Open!" yelled Dina who stopped in front of the gate.
"Gue aja ka," said Ira immediately get off the motor unlock the fence and push it.
"Why him?" tanya Heru walked from the side of the guard post to notice Dina's attitude that looked very upset.
Ira just turned her head without answering the man's question, she ran a little after Dina who had walked quickly into the house after parking her motorbike.
In his mind there might be a personal matter between Mama Tati and Dina that made the woman change her attitude in an instant then as if hating everything.
"Just a room, I have business" said Dina after running up the stairs, Ira simply nodded while slowing down her steps to keep her distance from being seen that she really wanted to know what kind of trouble was going on.
He passed through the quiet rooms, apparently some of them had not woken up or may have deliberately not made a noise.
When passing through the room Mama Tati Ira was silent for a while at the door, she wanted to know what they were talking about and it was possible that the conversation would be heard until it came out, but it seems that the problem does not have to be known by Ira, a middle-aged lung woman holding his shoulder.
"Hey nguping!" he said Ira turned to stare, a white woman with perfectly round eyes and a not-so-steady nose standing behind her.
"Wait for Dina" Ira smiled.
Ira's gaze on the woman's back turned as Heru walked up from the ground floor towards her.
"Laah," said Ira running small towards her room.
"Get him up? isn't it his duty to take care of her?" muttered Ira lying on the bed while looking at her phone.
"Aren't you worried about your grandchildren? he didn't even contact Ira through Hesti," in his mind as he put his phone back to the window.
Again and again it seems that tonight will be in a torrential rain, even the very bright weather this morning turned instantly cloudy with the wind, does God feel what that woman is feeling right now? she didn't know what to do now, only Dina was the only person she knew and trusted in the house, then why hasn't she come back and met him yet? is the problem so serious?

"Nih a change of clothes, wear mine," faintly heard Dina's voice open the door of the room.
Ira who was asleep slowly opened her two heavy eyes, she took a pinch of hair and leaned against the wall of the room.
"Sleep, oh yeah. Is there a problem with Mama Tati? I waited a long time"
"He's afraid I'm taking you away or helping you get out of this demon house" he said out loud.
"Huh? seriously?"
"Seriously pretty, she thinks I can do it while Heru keeps on fussing?
don't know my cape debating the same crazy aunt"
"Hahaha can that be it?"
"Udah lah, lo if you want to continue to sleep yes just a full sleep. Inget! here day becomes night, and night becomes day," he said moving from sitting out of the room.
"Thank you love you," Ira cried smilingly feeling better for having a friend and kaka that she could rely on.
She opened the two clothes that Dina was carrying, the plain pink sleeping pajamas and the short red dres to wear later in the night.
At 15:12 pm, Ira went to lock the door and to the bathroom to clean the body, the weather was cold so that the water that soaked his body made my hair stand up.
Not long from the bathroom, there was a faint sound of the voice of Adhan reverberating, in Ira's heart hoping that tonight would be his last night in this house, he wants to go home and enjoy freedom without fear.
Like what Mama Tati said she was here just to pay for her help, maybe two days by receiving some guests was enough for her, after all, Ira felt compelled to look for Suleng and questioned the meaning of what the man did.
If he still needs Ira, why would he set her up to stay here? mama Tati's help should be comparable to what Ira did there, but she thinks it's too much to act like she's a prisoner.
Making decisions without talking, and assuming without questioning is what Ira really hates. After all, she is a high school student, without a letter and permission for a long time to allow her to be expelled from the school.
Similarly, grandparents, often grandchildren do not return home for many reasons, but if for days will cause concern and even suspicion, that's what Ira was afraid of, how he would eventually choose his own path, either going home by agreement or leaving without a notice.
