Grasping the Only Temporary (Revised)

#119

09:00

The weather is hot enough to get out now. Even so, Kian has finished work ranging from washing clothes, cleaning the house to the front and back yard, bathing and of course breakfast to gulp medicine.

Now he comes out with a long-sleeved light blue blouse shirt with a wrinkle collar, black long sheets, and cotton white shoes.

Clack

"Ciah... Where are you going early in the morning? Ya street? Or go..."

"Fastake sister Nari. Kian just wear ordinary clothes, want to nemenin Devan but do not know where to go."

"Ohh... Cyrain. That's what your feet really do, right?"

"When did Kian's leg when did Marahan kak? You have to get better, hahaha..."

"Ihhhh!! Kian.... I'm serious yes.... Jokes lo fretting."

"Haha... Becanda brother. It's good anyway."

In the middle of the conversation in front of the rented door was the sound of worker bees crowding.

"Devan!!! I haven't seen you in a long time."

"Sorry Bakmie, who should you meet with Devan?"

"Elo sirik. Have you eaten yet? If we haven't had breakfast yet."

"No bakmie she had breakfast with me!"

"By the gunny sack of noodles fight, do not know yourself. Devan mending breakfast at my rent aja yuk, I'm cooking a lot, there is clove, rendang jengkol, vegetable bitter melon, chicken, lalapan..."

"It wants to eat what mbak sells, use called all yul!"

"Hi!! Devan's here to do what? Meet me huh?" He said with a sweet smile.

"Don't dream of Chacha, he's here to see me!"

"No! I!!"

"Gee!!"

Devan who is in the middle of the rented field is now a material for the women who are in front of him. Even pull each other interesting, with Devan's hand being targeted.

"You can stop!! Devan's here to pick me up. We want to walk. Yes, it's beb...." Say one new woman comes in who is arguably whiter and prettier than the others, getting rid of those around Devan and embracing that arm.

Whereas in a different place, two people continued to watch the crowd from a distance.

"Any jealous? Devan in deketin let alone sampe held so?"

'Jealousy is not, brother, just looking at it. Devan also why would want to be held the same as them. If thrown Devannya will be in search of do not think ama them?' Inner Kian

"Hahaha.where might be jealous brother. Also why." Sahut Kian with a grin.

"Heumm.." he said, nudging Kian's shoulder. "Woy Van!! When are you going to be there? I told Kian to come in!" His roaring screams messed up the horde of people who were chatting. Devan stopped staring boisterously in front of him, turning to look at Kian from a distance with his flat face.

Devan who was there actually also felt uncomfortable, even he just put on a flat face without a smile. But even so he also realized he could not be rude to women, to make him just silent. "Gue's just passing by, brother." He said while removing some of the women in front of him.

"Devan, why do you deket deket tuh chick. Mending my way. I'll love whatever you want." Say one of them, which makes Devan stop stepping and thinking.

"Something I'd like to ask for, but....."

"Say Van, I'll love whatever you want!" Hurrying ideal.

Devan glanced at something parked in front of one of the rented houses there, and looked alternately between the goods with the woman, "Gue can the minjem not brother?"

He looked, "By dong. Where are we going, man?"

"Gue just wants to pinjem his stuff, not the same person." Relax Devan, but certainly will make the woman hurt.

"Vuahuahahha..." All the women who swarmed Devan laughed with satisfaction.

"Yeah, yes, I have pinjem. At least the stuff in my house was once on my ama Devan pinjem. Not like you guys." He was proud, while the others were just sad. Wallahu half his heart felt unwilling.

Devan immediately approached Kian who was still in front of his contract with Nari, while those who were huddled earlier instead stared dislikefully at Kian.

"Tuh Devan has nyamperin lo Ki. Cieee. Another bonfire, aaaaaaa so sweet!" Nari who is increasingly being teased Kian.

"Sister, very dramatic." His ideal who was about to step down from the floor felt home.

However, Nari instantly stopped him by throwing out a single sentence before Devan actually got there, "Em, Ki. I want to ask. How many of your friends know your home address?"

"Huh? Setau Kian is just Devan. Why brother?" Kian who looks so astonished, linking his two eyebrows.

"Oh yeah, it's okay. Go there, be careful. Moga's good date is hahaha...." Kian nodded.

___________

Bicycles began to be paddled by Devan, a large blue lala bike that delivered them the road in a fairly bright morning.

"Where are you? Why use a bicycle? Not tired? I'm heavy, Van."

"What breakfast do you want?"

"Gue asked back and forth. I had breakfast then. This is Lola's bike not in anger what?"

"Son, we'll have lunch right away. What do you want to eat?"

"But we want to..."

"Don't ask too many questions! What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever." Ketus Kian after the authoritarian tone was swept back hearing Kian. While his mind raved incessantly. Once a man blocks ice, a block of ice!

"okay."

After some time pedaling their bikes they reached a simple stall on the side of the road. The weather was so hot when it was only a few minutes ago Devan pedaling had made him sweat profusely. He intends to academic and rest himself for a moment in the stall.

But it has not happened yet, when the bike just stopped Kian saw a familiar figure for him. And for sure it scares him a lot, not playing.

"Vane..." Call Kian after patting his waist a few times "Gue suddenly wants to eat soto." Further again.

"We are all here."

"No!! I want to be at the crossroads before." Her words stirred.

A few minutes of pedaling, they finally arrived at the stall that was headed. But unfortunately they did not go straight in, because Kian freely jumped from the bike and approached some children not far there. By running a little limp Kian forced himself to approach them.

"He why? Let's get him to the hospital, come on!!" More chimed when seeing the condition of a child who was like a fish without water.

"Not brother. Nando's a regular I think gini." He said to Kian who looked panicked. "Nando, try to be patient and relax with the device." A girl gave a device to the boy called Nando.

After that scene, before long the child who was lying down now looks better. "Well, brother, he's fine now." Say the girl with a sweet smile and rub the boy's head.

Grrrrrrll.....

Kian looked at them, then invited them to come with him to the soto stall that was headed before.

Kian turned around and saw Devan who showed a worried face. There's not much he's doing, he's just standing not far from her right now. Kian can only grimly return a worried look that in fact looks sharp.

_____

Now the chairs on the table are full. Three children, two teenagers, and one baby completed the rectangular table. At the same time, they just stared at each other. Moreover, Devan, who did not recognize the children at all, was very foreign.

Actually the scene is more can be called as one family than some strangers who gather together.

"Achem!!" Kian cleared his throat as the boy stared at each other at Devan.

"Know the name of Kian's brother, who was (designating Devan who was across) Brother Devan." He looked at one by one of them.

"My name is Tara brother." Said a woman who was on Kian's right side holding a baby, "This is Naina. Em. whose name is Nando, and who's on the left of that brother is Marcel."

Big questions were drawn from Kian's face when the little girl named Tara introduced them. But he tried to clear it as much as possible, because in the sense of things too privacy if thrown.

The eyes are locked when other children look at each other, there is one child whose eyes even point in the other direction. If you see everything is fine, or....

"Well, greetings know all...." Kian tried to be friendly in the middle of awkward and cold atmosphere on the table. No, Devan's expression was very flat and cold, not even showing a friendly expression at all.

The tring!!

Devan reached for his cellphone in his pocket, to check the notif of who it was.

And. after he read the message, he looked at Kian nanar, while lifting or his eyebrows.

The tring!!

Again.the message goes to Hp Devan. Making him just exhale heavily at the content of the message.

"So what do you want to order?" Devan asked with a cold face

"No, thank you brother. We don't have money to buy food." Tara.

"Tara, sister invite you and your friends here because we want to eat. So just tell me what you want to eat, Devan's brother will order and pay for it."

"They're not Tara's friends, they're family. I thought, I would find it hard to swallow even one grain of rice if that flat-faced brother bought it. Really scary."

"Tara, can you watch what you say. I think these brothers with us are good, it's inappropriate for you to talk like that."

"I told you the truth Marcel. You're the one who didn't see that brother's face."

The debate between the two boys began, Devan seemed very angry after the sentence had just been thrown in addition to the conversation between the two who were getting heated.

Cracks...

Devan got up from his chair, shutting the two people quiet. "I'll order food." The pampit was returned with a smile by Kian.

"He's sister's boyfriend?" Keto.

"Well!! Don't cross your boundaries!"

"Not quarrel. Tara, she's a friend of brother's."

"Ouh. If you look at his face is very scary, but maybe not with his heart."

He seemed to think with that phrase, "Well you're right Tara. Then Nando are you feeling really good? Do you want to take her to the hospital?"

The boy called Nando was silent, practicing only a few hand movements that led to Kian.

More and more the confusion caught Nando's intention until... "Nando says he's okay, brother. And thank you for worrying about it." Keep Tara.

"Ohh so, thank goodness. Where is your home address? I'll get you a cab to drive you home."

"We can't go home until the newspaper in our hands runs out."

Sure enough, he had just realized that each of them was holding a newspaper. "But why?"

"What's the reason? We're newspaper salesmen. Every day it will be. Because today there is no newspaper that sells, so we cannot eat. But luckily there was a beautiful sister and a spooky sister who helped us. Usually at this time we can buy food even if only a pack for three. But that's more than enough. But the problem is now that no newspaper has been sold." Tara said softly.

Hearing the child's words made more and more dizzy, "Wait, this means you are a newspaper seller? Where's your family? It should be at this age that you study instead of work."

"This is our family, brother. Which other family did you ask?"

"I mean big brother parents, where are your parents?"

"Ohhh, if that's very hard to answer brother."

"Ha?? How's it possible?"

"Hm... We are from a different family background. We are not siblings. We were just strangers who met because of one fate that later formed a family. Sister look at Nando.. That Nando can't talk, he's out of the house. But I don't know why, he never said. Marcel could not see. He said it was because of an accident he had with his parents. His parents were not safe, and he was blind. At first he was taken care of by his uncle and aunt until something made him left on the side of the road by the two people. Naina's? Even Naina's cuter than that, sister. Naina's age may have just stepped on a few days after being born, because her skin is still so red and soft. And you know where we found him?" Tara asked Kian who had been listening to the story.

"Under the sewer bridge. Fortunately, at that time the sewer was not filled with water. Naina's parents are so mean." Tara's face was very red when she said that.

"And you?"

"I? Just like Marcel. It's just because you got married again, and you don't want a daughter. My parents are funny, brother." The woman laughed on the sidelines with a cry anyway. One hand felt around the table looking for something he wanted.

"Tara, there's still me, Nando and Naina here. Don't cover that sadness with laughter. You're not alone, we're family and we're expecting you." The hand held Tara's hand tightly.

"Hiks... Hicks..."
