Holy Prison

PS2. 18 - The Teaser

Arriving at the supermarket, Ulfa and I went down. Faiz did not want to come in. I don't want to force Mas Faiz. He said he was more comfortable waiting in the car than driving around. Anyway I was accompanied by Sister Ulfa.

I'm so happy, really happy. I miss my family so much, seeing Ulfa come I was so happy, and now we are both shopping. I'm really happy. I miss our time together.

“You why cry?” ask Ulfa.

“I'm so happy to go with brother.” I said.

“Lho indeed you are not happy walking together with your husband?” ask Ulfa.

“Blessed, Brother. I just miss my brother too. Streets like this are not every day we can do.” I said.

“There-there's you, happy to use cry all.” said Kak Ulfa sneered.

I just chuckled at the sneer.

“What do we want to buy, Brother?” my many.

“You want me to teach you what to cook?” ask Ulfa.

“Honestly it feels like I want to be able to cook everything, Kak.” my eyes.

“You bought it all.” said Kak Ulfa, laughing.

I also laughed. I really miss our togetherness. I pray that Sister Ulfa will get a good husband soon, so that our relationship will improve even if we do not fight.

I pushed the trolley, Brother Ulfa who put in the items to be bought. This time we went to the vegetable. I watched Brother Ulfa who was choosing vegetable lettuce.

“How to choose a good vegetable, Kak?” my many.

“Of course fresh, not withered or wrinkled, and pay attention to the leaves, usually pesticide-free vegetables are not smooth ones, there are usually holes in the bite marks of small caterpillars.” said Ulfa.

I'm nodding. Then Brother Ulfa put his preferred lettuce into the basket. You're heading for the meat place.

“If you want to look for meat see the color, meat that has good quality usually has a red color that is still very fresh not pale and dirty, you see the texture. If you press then he returns again as before means still fresh.” said Kak Ulfa.

I'm trying to do what Ulfa's doing.

“And the latter never choose meat that is mushy and juicy. Watery with bleeding is different, so if bleeding is okay.” said Ulfa.

I nodded excitedly. I'm really proud of Ulfa. Ulfa and I went around. Ulfa taught me how to find fresh chicken and fish. I also listen to him well. I'm really lucky to have a sister like the kind-hearted Sister Ulfa.

“You understand everything you teach, Dik?” ask Ulfa.

“InsyaAllah understands, Brother.” I said. With sparkling eyes.

“Don't forget you said to Gus Faiz that I taught you how to choose all the cooking ingredients.” said Kak Ulfa.

“That is, Brother?” my question does not understand.

“Iya, who taught you it was me right?” ask Ulfa.

I'm nodding.

“You have told him that I have been kind enough to teach you how to choose this and that.” said Ulfa.

I just nodded.

After shopping we went to the cashier. The queue at the cashier is so long. Maybe because this is the beginning of the month so people are opting for monthly shopping.

“Kakak to car first huh?” said Ulfa.

“Good, Brother.” I said.

Actually I want Sister Ulfa to stay here to help me, however, seeing this long line I can't bear, I, perhaps also Ulfa was tired of teaching me and walked there to look for materials.

After I no longer see Sister Ulfa why I think of Mas Faiz. In the car there was only Mas Faiz. I don't think I'm willing to see Mas Faiz and Kak Ulfa alone in the car. But I can't be like this, I can't be jealous for no reason, after all I really believe in Mas Faiz. Mas Faiz certainly understood how he should behave.

I really don't want to give a bad impression on Sister Ulfa just that I want to express a little anxiety. Ah, maybe this is just really unwarranted anxiety. However, it is undeniable that I am getting more agitated.

“An!” call someone.

I'm looking. I found my husband waving his hand at the end of the checkout, I smiled, he returned my smile.

Until it's my turn to get to the cashier he's approaching me.

“The boyfriend is yes, Ma'am?” ask a cashier.

“Suami.” I said smile shyly.

“MasyaAllah, very harmonious, Ma'am. The Mbak is beautiful, Masnya is handsome.” said the cashier officer.

“Thank you.” I said.

“Total, Rp1.020.000, Mbak.” said the cashier.

“Eh, Mas, I still have.” I said.

“It's okay, you just save it.” said Mas Faiz.

“Thank you, Mas.” I said.

Seeing me and Mas Faiz the cashier smiled to himself. I was misbehaving. Finished making payment we also pushed the grocery trolley to the car.

“How is the shopping event?” ask Mas Faiz.

“Very fun, Mas. Sister Ulfa taught me how to choose vegetables, meat, chicken, and fish.” I said.

“Thank God you are happy. I am happy to hear it.” said Gus Faiz.

Arriving at the car, Mas Faiz stuffed the groceries into the trunk of the car. I helped him. Suddenly Ulfa came to us.

“Let me help, Gus.” said.

“No need, Brother. It's done.” said Mas Faiz.

“Don't call me, Brother. Call Ulfa as usual, after all you are one year older than me.” said Ulfa.

“I have become your sister's husband, so it's appropriate to call you brother.” said Mas Faiz.

Mas Faiz glanced at me.

“Eh, I returned the trailer yes, Mas.” I said.

“No need, you and Brother Ulfa just get in the car. Let me give it back.” said Mas Faiz.

Me and Brother Ulfapun according to.

“Dik, Sister in front huh?” kak Ulfa said he entered directly through the front door of the car.

I have no power to refuse. So, I nodded and entered, sitting in the back. It's just a matter of seating, not a place in the heart.

Shortly thereafter, Mas Faiz got into the car. He who noticed Brother Ulfa swapping positions with me immediately turned to me asking for an explanation. I'm dodging. Hinted that I was okay.

Without saying another word, Mas Faiz immediately drove forward the car. The atmosphere in the car was quiet.

“I turned on the radio yes, Gus.” said Brother Ulfa.

“Please.” says Gus Faiz.

Brother Ulfapun turned on the radio, then from the radio it was heard the announcer will play the song Sang Teaser sung by Tata Jeneeta feat Maia Estianty.

You used to say

I am the queen of your heart, my dear

And I am the queen of your palace

And you used to say

Never will leave me

I swear you may have forgotten

I just kept quiet listening. So did Mas Faiz. He remains focused on driving.

“This is my favorite song, Gus.” said Kak Ulfa.

Mas Faiz did not respond.

I didn't expect, suddenly Brother Ulfa sang along. Sound's good.

“And I was once a dearest

I was once the one you loved the most

Maybe you forgot.” Brother Ulfa glanced at Mas Faiz.

I just stay behind. There's no way I'm reprimanding Brother Ulfa just because he glanced at my husband.

“And when the tempter comes

You let him destroy my palace

Turns out you forgot my queen.” this time Brother Ulfa glanced at me.

I took the heart to get rid of the thought that Sister Ulfa was singing the lyrics for me, in other words she said I was the Teaser. Hopefully this is just a song, hopefully he just sings again without realizing the lyrics he sings, and hopefully there is no element of intent.
