I Love You, Sir
28.
Shandy was still half conscious when the door of his room was knocked slowly from the outside. He also heard the voice of Aunt Diah asking for dinner. The atmosphere outside was also already dark the sign of the night had arrived.
As soon as he arrived at the dining room, there was already a mother in the dining room. Shandy sat next to Mother and made her automatically in front of Dirga. He just smiled a little looking at the mother, still not greeting her.
“You slept yesterday? Aunty look really good at her sleep.”
Shandy lifted his head and looked at Aunt Diah. He smiled and nodded small. “Iya tate's. So sleepy. Thanks for getting a short sleep.”
Aunt Diah smiled broadly. “Sama-sama darling. You already consider as your own aunt. Let's continue eating it again. Jeng Lili too, let's continue eating.”
Shandy glanced at the mother at a glance and continued eating. He was not unaware that the mother had been staring at him since he entered the dining room. But, he just wanted to pass this dinner quietly. Whenever he finally has to talk to his mother, at home they will talk. Not here, in front of Dirga and his parents.
After a dinner dominated by talk between aunt Diah and Shandy's mother, they switch to the television room. There have been some snacks and fruit that tempt the taste.
Their sitting position is very ambiguous. Shandy who is usually the most anti sitting next to Dirga actually took a position next to the man. They sit on a medium-sized sofa that is usually occupied by 2 to 3 people. Everyone in the room was even staring at the two, or Shandy was more precisely confused.
Dirga himself was also actually confused by the actions of the girl. But he didn't want to ask too many questions. Not time.
“So how are you doing at school? Shandy will be taking the national exam soon?” Ask Aunt Dah while eating her orange.
Shandy nodded. “Iya aunt. Around the beginning of next year we started trying out the preparation. Late this year has started practice exams as well.”
Aunt Diah nodded. “After next year huh? 5 More months means. Quickly yes. I'm going to college soon.”
“Where are you planning to go to college? Home or abroad?” Ask aunt Diah again.
Shandy glanced at the mother. “Have to do outside aunt. Shandy is going to major in fashion design. And mom has already submitted several campuses. Just Shandy is still thinking about taking which one.”
“Ooh, fashion design. Well, want to trace the mother's story. Uh, but if American fashion design has, right? at Parson or FIT is good. Besides, Dirga also memorized the same America. Later you can ask her.”
Shandy smiled at a glance as he glanced at Dirga who was sitting next to him. It seemed that the man was not very interested in their conversation. He was busy with his cell phone. And aunt Diah seems to realize that.
“Dirga, put dong hapenya first. There is Shandy, you even play hape. What's the need?”
“Iya mother, briefly.” Dirga still hasn't taken her eyes off her mobile phone. He kept typing out what it was. Shandy's voice shifted his eyes.
“Again chat Alea ya?” Dirga looked at him in surprise but he just smiled as he shook his head and immediately put his phone on the table.
“Not. That was the vice principal. Nawarin to be basketball mentor. But I refuse.”
“Why rejected?” Shandy asked curiously.
“Kalo received, later can not go home with you again dong. Kan exckul basketball home school schedule.” And whoever please hold Shandy right now. He felt very weak and embarrassed by Dirga's sentence just now.
“A-What the hell. Not exactly the reason,” said nervous while eating the fruit in his lap brutal to make him choke.
While the other two women looked at each other and smiled at the interaction of the two people before them. Between fun and surprise actually.
“Since when are they familiar? The last feeling of meeting is still like a dog with a cat,” whispered mother to aunt Diah.
Aunt Diah smiled ignorantly. “So when Shandy got off my Dirga car was also shocked. How did you get invited to all the houses? Yes even though you know how to Shandynya.”
The two were busy gossiping together until they did not realize that their child was staring at them suspiciously.
“Mother and aunt Diah Gosipin Shandy with Dirga huh? Hayo, by the way what try?” Shandy squinted his eyes at the two.
They looked at each other and laughed together. “Tante same mother you are confused and happy with your interaction. You finally want to get along with Dirga. And Dirga also finally want to get along with other women,” sahut aunt Diah who was immediately given a nod of encouragement by mother.
Shandy frowned confusedly. “What does aunt mean? Did Dirga ever get close to another girl?”
Aunt Diah's face looks panicked. He glanced at Dirga who was also looking at him ominously. “Eh, did auntie say that? Sorry you might be wrong. I mean aunt Dirga finally wanted to be close to Shandy. Yes, that's what aunt.” means Aunt Diah was seen hiding something, Shandy was sure of it.
He looked back at Dirga. But the man averted his eyes and went back to grab his phone. He was busy with his cell phone.
The atmosphere became awkward and no one spoke afterwards. Until the housekeeper Dirga told me that dad had arrived.
Shandy and mom say goodbye to aunt Diah and Dirga. Aunt Diah invites me to eat first. But because it was very late, they decided to just go home.
Dirga and the mother are still standing on the terrace after delivering the departure of the Shandy family car. After the car disappeared from their sight, the mother rushed in until Dirga's voice greeted her hearing.
“I hope you don't tell me anything about the problem. Even if Shandy eventually has to know something, he'll know it from me. Not from mom or anyone else. He'll know right from my lips.”
After saying that sentence, Dirga walked into the house and left the mother. The mother only looked at the wide back of the son with a sad look.
“Until when will you wallow with the past, my son? Mommy hope Shandy can change you,” said the mother softly while wiping her eyes that felt a little wet.
Meanwhile, in the car there was no meaningful conversation. Shandy closed his eyes while he was busy driving. Mother finally tried to invite Shandy to talk.
“Honey, you want to tell me what happened last afternoon? You will not call mother and it turns out to be the same Dirga,” asked mother lirih.
Shandy closed his eyes. “I'm tired of bun. We'll tell you tomorrow.”
Mother could only nod weakly hearing Shandy's reply. “Iya darling. You go to sleep first. Later when you get home, mother wakein.” And there was no answer from Shandy.
Upon arriving home, Shandy went straight into the house without greeting anyone. He even woke up before he could wake her.
The new mother will say good night when she has walked quickly to her room. Mother could only see her daughter from a distance with a sad look. Until a pat made him turn his head and Dad was there.
“Shandy may be tired. Tomorrow morning just talk again.”Mother would not want to just be able to nod slowly. Again his eyes looked at the closed door of his daughter's room.
