From Friend to Love

Mother Onion

The day I was waiting for finally came. Her sister mama whom I used to call mami, also came to Ambon.

My phone vibrated repeatedly. And my ears are also hot repeatedly. Because in other places, there is a mother bawel aka my mother who has been waiting for.

"Now, child. Habits, never on time. Had a bath and make up long time made a sprain of this child" grumbled mami.

"I'm gone, I'll get my mom's nagging for a long time" my inner self.

I drove my bike at a slightly faster speed to get to one of the famous malls in Ambon city.

"Where's mom next door? I was in the parking lot" I asked.

"............" said mami.

"OK" I replied.

I walked a little to where my mom waited.

"I'm sorry An, yes mami" I said.

"Yes, already. Come on, find the tomb. My mom is hungry for you" said Mom.

"We went to a normal place, my mother" I said.

And we went to the place to eat, which we usually go to when there is a family event there is just a meal together.

"Mi, rame's the place. We eat KFC first to make the hunger pangs, mami" I said.

"Yes, it's up to you. The important thing is to lose the hunger mami" said mami.

"Ready boss" I replied.

We both walk to KFC to eat. Mommy sat down and I went to the reservation. While standing, suddenly someone greeted me from behind.

"An" the voice of the person behind me, and I turned my head.

"You" I replied.

"Who's same? By yourself?" ask Adrian.

"No. Same with my mom" I replied.

"Where?" ask her.

"That" I replied as I pointed towards the mother who was sitting and looked at me.

Adrian looked down and threw a smile at my mother. But mami with a rather haughty attitude just gave a cynical smile and then returned to play the phone.

"An, I could die standing up" Adrian said.

"The look and the smile of your mother" he answered.

"Yes, that's the guy. Somewhat cynical and arrogant" I said a lie.

"Yes, already. I'll bring you some food, mami's laper" I said again.

"OK deh. Greetings, make mami" he said.

I passed by and headed for my mom's seat. While eating, his mom talks about Adrian. I answered as if it happened. Mami also asked about Roni which is actually I was lazy to discuss him.

"Yes, if you don't want to talk. Ntar mami nanya herself to Roni. And he must answer honestly. If not, he will feel the consequences" said Mami.

"Mi, stop. I don't want to hear his name dealing with him anymore" I replied.

While eating, I saw my mommy brain-tinkering with her phone and suddenly.

"Hallo" said mami.

"......."

"Where are you? Any time?" ask mami.

"......"

"Ntar night at mami's boarding. At 7, my mom wait" said mami.

"......."

After eating and spending mami by buying some goods. Finally my mom and I went back to my house.

"Why don't you live at home? Why on gini cake?" grumbling.

"Mommy doesn't want to. You know living in the army dormitory can not be free and your papa is the same brother mami too many rules. If you live alone, mami can live mami life casually" said mami.

"But it can be protected, mi" I said.

"Yes, definitely. But there are times, as a sister. Mommy should also know yourself" said Mami with a different face.

"Yes, I did" I replied. " Mi, I'll just drop you off. No time to stop by, I have a job to do" I said.

"Student and diligent learning, yes. Proud of your parents and me. Be careful with the bike" I said.

"Okay, mi" I replied as I passed by on my motorbike through the streets of Ambon.
