Eps. 3. Oma Susan's



"Yiang oma's..."


Brill greeted oma upon entering the house. At the dinner table Brill saw a lot of food.


"Jiang..."


Oma greeted with a smile, her hands embracing her grandson warmly as Brill was already nearby. An oma kiss is given by pulling Brill's head down.


"There's an event?"


Brill asked briefly.


"There's an Elderly meeting this afternoon.. uh uh. wash your hands first..."


Brill whose hand almost grasped a cake typical of this area undoes his intentions. Oma Susan raised her index finger over her forehead, a unique custom of oma every forbidding something.


"Oma's stingy..."


"Not stingy, hands should be clean before handling food, your slovenly habits do not change..."


Brill bends his face and leaves Susan. Oma noticed the careless footsteps of one of her grandchildren, the grandson closest to her, oma felt something from the gesture, while walking her face down, it was a sign that something had happened.


"Don't eat the cake? Still hot and soft, you'd love it..."


"Lazy hand wash..."


Brill just shouted without stopping his steps getting further and further away towards his room in one part of this large house. A house that is uniquely shaped, like four houses that each end meet in the middle, if viewed from above like a plus sign, the oma represents the four winds. The middle axis section which is a large area with many openings, is a dining room as well as a room where family events are held.


Mark and two people known to oma brought in a lot of stuff.


"Is this Mark?"


"Kak Brill's musical instruments..."


"Why was he brought here?"


"Son Brill asked..."


"He scolded his mama again?"


"I don't know ifa... was already placed in the Pemkab Hall, but was told to lift by son Brill to be brought here..."


"What does he mean in the Hall for?"


"Mom's already donated to activities in the Hall..."


"donated? Why take it again?"


"Nobody Brill said it was hers.no one asked her about it..."


"Then how can you take it again?"


"Son Brill came alone to the Hall and asked permission to take all of this... This is where is oma?"


"In the room at the other end, just straight. The second room from here likes to be used by the boy as his studio..."


Oma Susan took her phone while observing two ART men from her daughter's official house who had returned to the pick up car, visible from the position of Susan's oma on the pick up car there are still many items in the form of speakers and other tools.

"Mana Inggrid..."


"I'm sorry... I can't be bothered, there's an important meeting..."


"I don't care about all the meetings, give her a phone or me to the office..."


.


Oma Susan spoke in a cold and authoritative tone to make the mother regent sespri give special family and close people directly to the honored mother. From the gestur sesprinya, the regent mother knew that the summoner was not a person that could be rejected by his subordinates.


Mimik asked the regent's mother directly answered with a whisper...


"From Susan mom..."


.


"Mama, don't bother me..."


The slow voice of the regent's mother answered the phone of her dear mother that she could not ignore, no matter how much authority, the will of Susan was more powerful.


"Mama has repeatedly told you Inggrid, as busy as you are, don't ignore your son's feelings. His instrument is his right, why you can donate it..."


"Mama, she's nearing the final exam, so I told her to get rid of her instrument."


"Ma.. will finish all the agenda today, I'm going home..."


"There's no need to come here, Brill will stay here from today, don't force him now, mama won't support you anymore when it comes to Brill..."


.


Oma Susan closed the call with an angry face. Oma Susan headed for the kitchen, ordered something to Nelie, ART's cooking job in this house.


"Nel, is there any meat in the fridge?"


"There's still..."


"Make Meat Lapis Brill's favorite..."


"Now?"


"Yes now, he must not have eaten..."


"Okay oma..."


Soon Nelie processed a simple recipe for Susan oma, processed meat that was beaten so soft or chopped and only cooked with garlic and eggs.


Oma Susan is still nimble when just circling her big house. Since the husband died, he was only accompanied by ART who had served him for decades. The ART who married in his hands and still faithfully works for Susan.


Oma Susan took some of the cookies that Brill had canceled, put them on a plate and headed to Brill's room. Oma stared in concern as she found the boy lying on his stomach in bed without changing his uniform and taking off his sports shoes.


"Brill. This is the cake, eat first, then have lunch after your favorite meat is finished cooking..."


Brill was silent neither answering nor moving from his position. His head was still set on a white padded pillow. Oma Susan opened the window overlooking the side garden. A hot wind from the beach came into the room. Oma Susan felt the window sills and furniture in the room with her index finger.


"Move to the room oma first, sleep there. This room needs to be cleaned..."


"Mmh.. later on, oma..."


"Why lazy?"


"The room is clean. I want to sleep omaaa..."


"Change the same clothes off the shoes..."


Brill immediately removed the shoe using his heel without moving the rest of his body.


"The uniform?"


"Ommm..."


Brill whined spoiled, not wanting his position to change, not wanting to come out of this room, his heart was not good.


"the cake?"


Brill only raised his hand for a moment, I don't know what he meant.


"Yes already.. oma bring the cake again out here a lot of dust. later oma tell me that lunch is ready..."


There was no reply, the oma left the room. He never forces Brill to do anything, understanding that his granddaughter needs space to escape all the prohibitions and rules of the child and his son-in-law. This kind of behavior is always repeated, every time there is a problem he will lock himself in his room in this house.


.


In the afternoon Brill came out weak from missing lunch. He's headed for the dinner table, his lunch is still on the table tucked away under the hood. Brill then enjoyed eating with double portions, late lunches and faster dinners because his stomach immediately felt hungry to see his favorite side dishes. Food sometimes becomes an entertainer when the heart is running low.


Oma entered from the page.


"For a long time it can hurt stomach ulcers if your diet like this..."


Brill did not answer, only turned to Susan for a moment and continued to eat.


"Wandy and Gio are inside, same Lefrand, he says he wants to set the tools."


Brill just nodded.


"Boy call oma, your phone's off..."


Brill did not react but his facial features hardened, he knew he would definitely be bullied by his parents again. They must be very angry with his actions today, taking back the musical instrument that the mother had donated.
