Today Nia's mother came home. Late at night Nia's mother arrived home to be welcomed by her children.
"Horee. mom's home. What did you bring, Mom?" tanya Reza looked at the items brought by the mother followed by Ajeng from the room.
"Sir, let me rest first. I must be tired from the far way." said Nia while bringing her mother water.
"Which father?" asked the mother while drinking water brought by Nia.
"Mom's custom. Every afternoon I go out. Mommy's gonna take a shower now so Nia can get some warm water?" answer Nia
"Yes nduk. I want to shower now. It's so hot." replied mom.
Nia went to the kitchen and attacked the water for her mother's bath. As the bath water warmed up, Nia went ahead again.
"Where is mom?" asked Nia while sitting next to her mother.
"The funeral went well. I'm on the same money as your father." replied the mother lying down.
"Mom, is this the dirty cloth bag?" nia asked as she tidied the clothes in her mother's bag one by one.
"Yes it's black. The other is clean cloth. Tidy up in the closet" replied his mother
"This is what mom?" nia asked while showing a small bag made of paper.
"Oh that.. Thanks to pakde. Your mother and adek must be noisy asking for souvenirs so I ask you to buy." replied the mother
Nia fell silent. What do you mean just talking about mbak and his sister only about souvenirs? isn't this for him, too?
Nia stood up and put her mother's dirty clothes into the washing machine and started washing them. Clean clothes folded well then arranged in a closet in his mother's room.
Nia came back again to prepare her mother's bath water because the bath water she cooked was boiling.
"Mother take a shower first. Nia has prepared her bath water in the bathroom" said Nia.
"Oh yes.thank you" replied his mother then stood up and went to the bathroom.
Nia returned to clean up her mother's house and luggage. Suddenly an object fell from her mother's bag as Nia was about to lift it. Fortunately, Nia caught him quickly.
It's a cell phone!! nia said in a half-struck heart.
He held the phone for a while and then returned it to his mother's bag. That's the latest smart phone. The price must be expensive. Why do you buy a cell phone? nia murmured in the heart.
Nia who was busy with the laundry behind her mother heard the voices of her sister, sister and mother laughing with her mother. Finished washing, Nia went to the front room and saw her sister was engrossed in eating something.
"Jeez deck. This package of food is thrown away dong do not let it fall apart like this. Ma'am was done already" said Nia while picking up food parcels one by one. Nia saw the package like a bundle of eh0by from outside the city.
"Where did you get this from the deck?" ask Nia.
"From mbak's mother. This mother said. Reza had the same name as Ajeng" said Reza
"Where to go?" ask Nia
"Udah is out. I just called Reza and Ajeng" said Reza as he passed by his room.
Nia just fell silent, then returned to pick up the garbage parcel that her sister had left behind and throw it in the trash. Nia then went to her mother's room and saw her mother was asleep. Nia went back to her room.
Next day..
At 05.00 WIB Nia woke up from her sleep. Rubbed his eyes trying to eliminate the drowsiness that is still attached to his eyes. Then Nia went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. Strike water then prepare to cook. Soon her mother woke up too.
"What would mom cook?" ask Nia to her mother
"You sweep it nduk. All the clothes that were not dry yesterday you sun again ya nduk." said his mother.
"Yes ma'am, uh yes ma'am, yesterday Nia accidentally found a cellphone from her mother's bag. Her phone fell when Nia wanted to keep mom's bag to the room. Fortunately Nia quickly caught the ma'am so her Handphone did not have time to fall on the floor. Whose phone is mom?" ask Nia.
"Oh that's your mbakmu phone. I bought it in the village. Still new it. Your mother asked for a cell phone when she left. Pity your own mother who does not have a cell phone on her campus." replied his mother.
Nia just nodded at her mother's answer.
"Oh yes ma'am. Nia did not ride with Mr. Jamil bu during her mother in the village. Pak jamil accident night after mother left so sir jamil permission not to teach for 2 weeks. Nia was taken to the school with Dina" said Nia
"Good nduk. if you can be the same Dinaja continue until graduation later. I have a plan to buy you a new motorbike so she can go to college by herself. Let me take your brother" said his mother
"It doesn't feel good mom if you keep taking Dina. If Ajeng already has a motorbike, Nia is the same as Ajeng aja ya ma'am. No matter what Nia waited for Ajeng to go to school every time she came home" said Nia
"Your sister definitely doesn't want Nia. It's the same Dinah. Dinah is a good person. Wouldn't mind if you hitchhiked with him. So you don't have to pay anymore" replied his mother.
"But the campus ma bak Ajeng is close to the Nia school" replied Nia.
"Already Nia. Let your mother go to college quietly. Don't burden your mother." His mother said while busy preparing cooking spices.
Nia went to the front room without denying her mother any more. Wiped and cleaned all the rooms. Drying clothes, then watered flowers in front of the terrace. Take out his mom and dad's bike and heat it up. After that Nia was getting ready to take a shower.
"Your boyfriend is taking a shower" said the mother, keeping busy finishing her cooking.
Nia also took her provision, her sister and mbak Ajeng. In it one by one.
"Mbak and adek you do not bring stock again nduk. They ate at school, she said." said her mother.
"The snacks will be quite bu if saved bring their own supplies." replied Nia
"You bring the provisions." replied his mother.
Nia also filled her own supply. After seeing her sister was ready to take a bath, Nia went into the bathroom.
Finished shower Nia rushed dressed. The clock shows at 06:00 Wib.
"Duh. it's like this. I gotta hurry. Don't let Dina wait for me." muttered Nia while combing her hair and wearing a sow powder on her face. Get him stuff in the back and his school bag. Then he went to the porch to wear shoes.
On the terrace there was his sister who was wearing shoes as well.
"Bak, cool aren't Reza's new shoes?" reza said while showing off his new shoes.
"You're the new deck shoe? From where?" ask Nia
"From dong's mother mbak. Yesterday Reza asked to buy shoes with mom before she left for the village. So I bought it yesterday when I came back here" replied Reza
Nia fell silent. I never remember buying them shoes. No one even knew that the shoes Nia was wearing now had changed. No one knew Nia was wearing Dina's shoes because her old shoes were torn.
"Dek, this is your pocket money huh" said Nia's mother who suddenly appeared from inside the house while handing over some overtime to Reza.
"funny." replied Reza while putting the money given by her mother into the pocket of her uniform.
"Are you going to bring nduk?" ask mother.
"Already mom. Nia left first yes ma'am." replied Nia while greeting her mother.
Along the way Nia daydreamed. Mother always remembered with her brother and sister. Whatever their wants and needs must be followed by the mother.
Ahh. never mind. If I also demand to mother, surely mother is more troubled, muttered Nia while shaking her head.
As usual, Nia was standing on the side of the road in front of her alley. Nia looked towards the road waiting for Dina to come.
Tin.. Tin..
Andre's bike stopped right in front of Nia.
"Wait for your friend again?" asked Andre while turning off the bike.
"Yes ndre. I'm sorry I forgot to bring the jacket. I washed yesterday." answered Nia in a panic
"It's okay. Just relax. I have a lot of jackets. Could be next time. What are we not going to see again?" said Andre while smilingly looking at Nia.
"Where is your friend's house? If the distance of the house, you are the same as me. Our house is a decoy." said Andre
Nia was confused as to what to answer. And Andre is also. Poor Dina had to go all the way to pick Nia up. But Nia also did not hesitate to say yes to Andre.
"Well, asked instead of daydreaming" said Andre half-laugh.
"Hm.. What's your phone number?" andre asked, taking the phone out of his pants pocket.
"I don't have a cell phone" replied Nia
"Are you scared to give me your number? relax, I will not macemin. I'm a good boy, seriously!" andre said as he pointed his V-shaped finger in front of Nia.
"Truly ndre, I don't have a cell phone" Nia replied seriously
"Well, if you don't want to give me your number. Uh that's temen lu dateng. Cepet-cepet very calm you if you pick it up." said Andre while turning on the bike.
"See you tomorrow." said Andre with a smile then passed from the front of Nia.
Dina's car stopped. Nia got into Dina's car.
"He is very diligent every morning you meet. You guys are dating?" dina asked as she squinted her eyes towards Nia
"Gak Din's. He is his home just like me. So keep meeting." answered Nia
"If every morning meet it mah in the intentionin Nia. Not accidentally. Hahahaha." said Dina while laughing.
"Udah... You suckle me constantly." replied Nia timidly
"Cie.. shy hea. hahaha.yok pak Jalan." said Dina with a laugh.
