Mas Zein brought a pretty big gift box. Throwing her sweet smile at me as it passed past me. I greet the guests who want to go home and thank them for their presence, while the neighboring girl next to me who gives the parcel.
They insisted on leaving the envelope to me because my front desk had no hole that would normally be used to insert the envelope.
I turned it down but they insisted and left their envelopes on their spelling and said goodbye.
Bang Lukman insisted on not accepting envelopes from guests and forbade wearing a table with holes. We were arguing on the phone at the time. Me, Rina, bang lukman and bang Alif. The father of his people relax and follow the decision of his children only. In fact in some ways more ask bang Alif. A little bit of a coward of his people.
Bang lukman said that his intention was to invite the neighbors and sandai taulan was to ask for blessing instead of selling food. Haha.... funny is it bang lukman?
Karina and I insist that the important thing is that we do not ask them to bring their angpau but that if they give their angpau it is accepted . That's what is common in our society, it's tradition so difficult to eliminate it. The important thing is we are not tomak and not begging, that's the reason for me and Rina but bang Lukman refused outright.
bang Alif who was near us at that time did not protest what bang Lukman said. That means that bang Alif does not mind the actions of bang Lukman. If bang Alif did not agree for sure he issued an excuse that could not be rejected by bang Lukman. However fierce my brother was if bang Alif had spoken for sure he would be kicep. Just listen and fuck. It's not just Lukman, we are too. I, Rina, Mia's sister and even the father are also the same, immediately klakep if bang Alif reacts like dislike or anger.
yes, we often make such things as joke material. When one of us came home from the scene we usually asked
"buy what rice?"
"what was the sale?"
"is the house still rame?"
We usually say so because we have to bring the angpau to pay for our food at the party. bang alif always reminds us if we want to condangan, his intention is to give alms, he said, janga hopes to be returned when we have a celebration.
We joke like that because we do not expect our money to be returned later, so fill the envelope accordingly. Not too much or too little so that we can be sincere, like people who defecate so out yes already forgotten, do not want to remember what he has issued earlier. It feels plong, relieved if you can give alms sincerely.
Because Bang Lukman insisted on not receiving angpau from the guests just now even troublesome me and Rina. How do we accommodate that many angels. Fortunately there is a large plastic container that has been empty, the former contents of rambak crackers so we can use it.
I turned my head and saw a very sweet figure like honey standing behind me. I don't know how long it's been there. His sweet smile he gave me again made my heart happy not a bitch, his split chin and his shaggy teeth made me wrong. This handsome man turned out to like me who was older a few years from him. ah. pleased.
"Neng Ani said yes first." said the mothers who say goodbye to go home.
"uh. yes yes... yes thank you Mom, thank you for your presence.please apologize if there is anything less pleasing...." I just realized and tried to organize my words and heart so as not to look at the beautiful creature of God just now.
" please catch up soon neng Ani...."
"Amiiin.." replied Zein. I smile, may I be given the best, my prayers in my heart.
"not eating?" ask me after he took a chair and sat down next to me.
"bareng yuk's.." he said.
"i ate already. How do I take it?"
"Hum....?"
"yes, I'll be with you." I can't bear to see him pursing his lips.
"so spoiled.." said Rina who was sitting next to me.
We walked side by side to the dining area in the corner. There are several menus served for buffets today. The favorite looks like papaya leaf saute and banana heart rug. The menu is rarely in the party or celebration and it is precisely the most in demand. Maybe because you are tired of the dishes that usually exist, such as soto, meatballs, gado-gado or fried rice.
I feel a little clumsy. Like someone was looking at me sharply and with anger. I turned my head and accidentally saw his mother Mas Zein who was also looking at me fixedly making my hair goosebumps and my nape became cold suddenly
