‘’Iya, Aunty calm down. But I'm sure that Naisya wants to play with Dodo,’’ I said trying to convince the aunt, but she looks like she's not happy and can't believe what I just said. I don't know why, I don't know either. The woman rushed over without saying anything.
‘’Bi? A minute.’’
‘’Ah, yes, Bu?’’ the middle-aged woman stopped her steps and turned her head for a moment.
‘’Aibi should be good at persuading Naisya. I'm sure that Bibi can persuade Naisya,’’ I said as I looked at the aunt whose expression was difficult to confirm.
‘’Iya, Mom. Will Aunty try ya.’’ He nodded and hurried back to continue his steps entering the house.
My eyes turned to look at the man in uniform, who had been staring. Instantly the sophisticated thing in his pocket rang. However, he only looked at the screen of the thing without answering the call.
‘’Who called Dodo? How come he won't pick up the phone?’’ I murmured in my heart.
‘’Do, who? How do you lift?’’
‘’A—anu, Bu.’’ He nodded and scratched his head.
‘’Talk it clear and do not hang so dong. Your boyfriend called? You're as disinclined as I am? Ordinary time, Do,’’ said that the tone of voice rose several octav.
He smiled awkwardly. Why this guy? Who contacted him? Does his distant lover want to chat with Dodo?
‘’Huum, ma’af. I raised it first, Bu.’’ He rushed over while carrying the advanced thing in his hand. Looks like he's staying away so he can pick up the phone from someone? Who exactly is that guy?
‘’Why am I so curious huh?’’
‘’As he hides something?’’
Ah, no! Dodo can't hide anything from me. Maybe he just refuses to talk in front of me, especially if the one who called was his girlfriend. So, where can he answer the phone from his lover in front of his own employer. Ah, I should have understood. Because I was young too. I have also experienced long distance love like Dodo. The presence of aunt and Naisya was able to resuscitate my daydream.
‘’Bi, Brother wants to play the same Om Reno. No nebosenin,’’ whining for a moment.
‘’Sama Om Dodo first yes. Sister must be seneng. Om that's very good,’’ persuaded the middle-aged woman.
‘’Ngak, Bi. Don't force Little Brother,’’ upset later.
‘’Honey, Brother played the same Om Dodo first. Reno is busy today. He's working again,’’ I said then who approached my daughter and aligned my height with her.
‘’Wah, Brother is ready to play the same Om?’’ The man was by my side. I don't know when he showed his nose here. My eyes looked back at Naisya, she looked even sullen.
‘’Kok pouted anyway? Ntar's sister ugly loh. Smile dong. Where's the smile?’’ said again.
‘’Biarin Adik ugly!’’ it made me and my aunt smile.
‘’Ya. If so, buy chocolate ice cream. Brother want to?’’ Makes me gasp. Where does that man know that my son loves chocolate ice cream. Instantly made Naisya's face change. He who was pouting, now his face was cheerful.
‘’Mau to, Om.’’
‘’OK. But we ate the ice cream while playing in the post. Brother want to?’’ Naisya looked nodded. The man pulled my son's hand slowly.
‘’Adik want to play first yes, Ma.’’
‘’Iya, Darling. Don't be naughty yes,’’ my mouth that caresses her hair. He nodded with a nod.
‘’Ya already, I brought first Naisya, Bu.’’
‘’Iya, Do. Take good care of Naisya. And if you want to bring him ice cream, in the nearest shop,’’ my advice then that makes the man turn his head.
‘’Iya, Bu.’’ He rushed to bring Naisya.
Makes my heart feel relieved for a moment. Hopefully my son is comfortable and happy to play with the security of my private house. Looks like the guy is happy with the kids, too.
‘’I don't accept Dodo working here. He can make my son smile,’’ my murmur in the heart that stares at their backs. Instantly lost from my sight.
‘’Bu?’’ call the middle-aged woman who has been pecking beside me ever since. I'm turning.
I smiled wide,’’ Rest assured, Bi. I believe and believe. Lagian Dodo is a very good person and like Naisya is also fond of him. From Reno or that traitorous man here. I don't want to ah, Bi. Better own security, right, Bi?’’ I said at length and looked at the face of the aunt whose expression was very difficult for me to translate.
‘’Why? Do you like the Dodo? Isn't Bibi getting along with her?’’ investigate while chuckling softly. The aunt even smelled her lips. Makes me even more chuckle.
‘’Lah, Mom. This aunt is serious. He was hiding something from us. Aunty Males just saw the man.’’
‘’Aibi does not usually go bad with others if there is no clear reason. And usually Aunt's guess is always right. Is that guy really hiding something from me?’’ my monologue is in my heart.
Ah, maybe it was just the aunt's feelings the other time. People are polite and as good as Dodo can not bear to hide something. Yes, now I have to think positively. It is not good to be prejudiced against others without strong evidence.
‘’Don't worry about it dong, Bi. Bismillah, may Naisya be fine.’’ I patted my aunt's arm slowly to make her a little surprised.
‘’Humm, if Bibi is worried about Naisya, Bibi can get away from them. After all, Auntie's work has gone all right,’’ my advice that makes the middle-aged woman look at me, then a smile rises on her lips.
‘’Good idea, Mom. Yes, I had breakfast there. Let Aunt Naisya ngawasin,’’ sahut with semringah.
I nodded, the woman I thought was my parents rushed over. I decided to enter the house. I want to have breakfast for a moment, my stomach from the demo asked to be filled.
***
I looked at the dining room, had a beautiful arrangement of dishes that invited hunger. I nodded at the chair for a moment and my eyes fell on the empty next chair.
‘’Usually the one sitting next to me is my husband. But now—‘’
‘’Astaghfirullah! Nel, why do you think of the man who betrayed you? Don't feel lonely. Better you alone, than both always betrayed.’’
I rubbed my face violently and repeatedly reminded myself. I took a slow breath, then exhaled it again.
‘’Oke, now I better have breakfast first.’’
I hurried to get a plate and sprinkle some rice, and then I finished with my favorite chili sauce, made by the aunt.
Just two mouthfuls of rice that I ate, immediately Mama Minah's face danced in my mind.
‘’Mama? Why am I suddenly thinking about Mama? Why is his face suddenly pictured by me?’’ I stopped my bribe for a moment. I feel like my heart is bad. What's the matter?
‘’Ya Allah, may Mama be well there.’’
I don't know why my heart is so bad and my appetite just disappears. The sound of the house phone made me gasp. I hurried to the family room.
‘’Assalamua’alaikum, Mba Nelda.’’
‘’Wa—wa’alaikumussalam. Ma’af this who?’’
‘’It's me Juwita, neighbor Bu Minah. I want to tell you about Mba—‘’
‘’Why with my in-laws?!’’
‘’He's in the hospital.’’
‘’Astaghfirullah! Yes Allah, Mama!’’ I was aghast and silenced my mouth instantly with tears.
‘’What does this have to do with my household and Mas Deno?’’
Seriate..
