IRENG NIRMALA CANTILE

Part 6: The Dela

“Del...delaaa...awakmu ning endi del....”(.Del..delaaa.you where del...).

“Buk, dela where the hell? ndak looked over from earlier ?”.

Ms. Laksmi ignored the nirmala question, ma'am laksmi was still busy sorting out the groceries she had just bought from the market.

“buk, don't you want to dela maring ibuk market, kok ibuk wangsul dewean? Delane ting pundi buk”.(busy, instead of just joining ibuk to the market, why did ibuk come home alone? Delanya where buk).

Ms. Laksmi is still silent not budging.

“buk...ibuk mala ask ibuk you know why ndak answered dela where buk?”.

Ms. Laksmi let out a long sigh, she pulled the chair closer to the mala chair.

“mala, rungokke ibuk. You kudu iso nerimo reality kabeh sing kuoso sing chat. Awake dewe ning kene ibarate mor play. Dela awes cerito kabeh ning ibuk, ibuk ora nahke mala ibuk also ora mbelani dela. But ning kene ibuk want mala ngerti, dela kuwi really love karo mala. Dela ora duweni niatan blenjani janjine but mala also ora by selfish, dela wes ngei chance right kanggo mala? But maybe allah iseh wants mala ning omah panti”.(mala dengerin ibuk. You must be able to accept the reality of all that power is regular. We are just players. But here I want to understand mala, dela is very bad at all. Dela does not have the intention to break the promise but mala also can not be selfish, dela already give a chance for mala right? But maybe God still wants to stay at home).

Hearing the meaning of the words of ma laksmi mala know where dela is. The intention of bu laksmi ngajak dela kebasar is actually to bring together dela with parents who will adopt dela. Hatred is ingrained in nirmala's heart, whether it should be with whom else nirmala believes that her own best friend betrayed her.

“mala wes understands right, I mean ibuk? Ibuk no follow-up to masak”.

Mala returned to her room, her mind and mind constantly struggling. His gaze led to the bed of dela, mala saw a book there. Mala picked up the book, the book turned out to be an outpouring of heart either since when dela started writing. Sheet by sheet mala read the contents of the dela book, until mala gaped to see his name there. Not only the name but graceful and nur is also there, but that makes mala can not believe why his name is crossed out. What all this time dela not really sincere to be his friend. Nirmala narrated herself guessing what she was hiding from him. Suddenly the photo tucked in the book fell, the photo is a photo of the four of them (Dela, mala, graceful,nur) again there is a strange thing, dela doodles the face of mala.

Mala heard that she called him, he rushed to hide the dela bu under his pillow.

“mala, your crew lahopo?’.(when do you do?).

“ndak no buk”.

“ibuk jarulung riwangi ibuk ning pawon”.(mother ask help mother in the kitchen)

“iya buk”.

“alhamdullah ibuk by pesenan jajan market rodok okeh, not opo-opo kan mala ngiwaki ibuk”.(alhamdullah ibuk can order pasae snack quite a lot, it's okay mala help mother).

“ndak nothing buk, mala seneng iso help ibuk. May I ask?”.

“by, but ojo weird-odd takone”.(can but don't be weird nayaknya).

“delaa ning omah orphanage since baby, dela kan child ..”.

“k sopo buk”.

“wes lalikke but I'm sure someday kowe kabeh will meet meneh”.(lupain but I'm sure one day you will all meet again).

“why I'm sure, mala ndak want to meet dela , dela diabol”.

“DELA GAK NASTY”. (with a snapping tone).

Mala gasped in shock at the sound of ma laksmi yelling at her, her trembling hands clenching her hands holding back her tears. For the first time he saw madam laksmi ma'am that. Mala who was afraid to run to her room, sat in the corner of her bed, her heart pounding. Amidst his fear he opened the book owned by dela, behind the cover of the dark brown book was wrapped in a photo. Nirmala took the photo of the woman holding her baby child, the face of the woman is very familiar yes really the woman photographed it is the mother laksmi. Then the baby who was being carried by laksmi ma'am????

“Mala, your crew awaited by ning kono”.(Mala, you're waiting for me there).

“Hahhhh...emmm iyo”.

Step by step mala tried to approach bu laksmi, there was a feeling of fear in the heart of mala since the incident.

“Enten nopo buk?”.(What's buk).

“Ndok”.(Sit down son)

Lama bu laksmi looks at nirmala's face, rubbing gently nirmala cheeks. From the look of the eyes of ma laksmi mala can feel sadness and longing. But what makes mom laksmi so sad as if her sadness has taken a part of her life, then who does ma laksmi really miss??? I don't know nirmala's getting confused about all this.

The atmosphere grew silent bu laksmi still stared fixed nirmala face, the longer bu laksmi looked at nirmala face, nirmala more frightened.

“Opo your crew wedi karo ibuk ndok”.(are you afraid of my mother son)

Nirmala looked down, she did not have the courage to see the face of Miss Laksmi.

“Sepurane mom yes ndok, mom ora gawe kammu dadi wedi karo ibuk. Ibuk ora want your crew duweni roso serik roso revenge mergo soko roso sing dadikke menungso kelangan nyowo”.((Sorry mom, son, I didn't mean to make you so scared. I don't want you to have a sense of resentment because of the feeling that can make humans lose their lives).

“Tatu ning kulit ijeh iso patched but yen wes ning tatu ning ati iku angel tambane, ojo easy kegudo karo thoughts sing gawe curious. Ora slick, ben sing wes covered ben tetep close ojo until kebuka. Ngerti yo ndok”.(Wounds on the skin can still be treated but if it concerns wounds in the heart that are difficult to treat, do not be easily tempted by thoughts that make curious. Not good, let the closed to keep closed do not open. Understand yes son).

What is it that is closed ???what can't be open?? What did bu laksmi talk about.
