Rashid kept bringing Ayu home. He did not think of Ayu's bag left behind in Laras' room.
Though the bag contains uniforms and textbooks, which will be worn by Ayu school tomorrow morning.
Ayu just shut up. Rather than being blamed by Rashid.
But finally Ayu opened her voice as well. Because his stomach is already sounding.
"Dad! Laper up!" exclaim Ayu.
Rasyid keeps pushing his bike. He pretended not to listen.
"Dad! Laper up!" yell Ayu again.
Rashid reduced the speed of his motor.
Ayu immediately smiled happily. He thought, Rashid will take him to the food stall.
"Dark! I don't have any more money! Hold the laper first, huh?" reply Rashid.
Ayu was a manyun. He could've held back, but the worms in his stomach couldn't be compromised.
"Dad! The worm in Ayu's stomach is already at the sound!" exclaim Ayu.
Rashid almost laughed. Sometimes his son likes to be funny. So still too innocent, even impressed funny.
"Tell diem, Yu. Tell him to go to sleep first. Say, it's night!" rasyid is even more ridiculous.
"No way, Dad. They said they'd sleep when they ate!" Ayu is funny again. Though not intending so.
"Ouch! How about naughty anyway, worm? Say, if you don't obey, you'll get scolded by Daddy!" sahut Rashid.
"No, Dad. Poor thing. Later they cry and Ayu's stomach bitten how?" Ayu just digress.
"Ayu hasn't eaten a sponge cake at Sinta's house?" ask Rashid. He just ate three pieces of sponge plus one cup of coffee, can be full.
"Not yet, Dad. The sponge cake is still intact in Sinta's room" Ayu replied.
"Ouch! It was delicious, you know. I ate three. Until it's full!" sahut Rashid.
Kkryykk!
Rashid's stomach also speaks. Looks like the worms in his stomach are protesting. Because of Rashid's lies.
Only three pieces of sponge, does not make them full and silent.
"Daddy's stomach sounds too, right?" Ayu who hugged Rashid's stomach, could feel the movements of the worms.
"Mh...No, Yu. They're just on gymnastics inside" Rashid said.
"No music?" ask Ayu.
Hadeh! Dizzied Rashid's head, responding to Ayu's words. Yes, he should sing dangdut koplo first?
Dddtt!
Rashid's motor died.
"Kok is dead, Dad?" ask Ayu.
Without answering, Rashid tried to stater his bike. Many times he pressed the stater button, still did not want to walk.
"Ooh...! Why else is this a motor?" gumam Rashid.
"You get down first, Yu!" pinta Rashid.
Slowly, Ayu came down. His knee still felt sore and stiff.
Rashid standardised his two motors. Then start pressing the crank.
Until his feet ache, the Rashid motorbike does not want to turn on.
"Maybe the gasoline is abis, Dad," said Ayu.
"It can be" said Rashid.
The gasoline indicator of the Rashid motor is long dead. Therefore, not once twice the motor died because of running out of gasoline.
Rashid turned on the flashlight on his phone, then opened the motor seat. Checking gasoline.
"Yes. Abbie!"
Hhh! Rashid got upset himself. He reached into his pants pocket. There was only fifteen thousand.
"That's a gas stall, Dad!" Ayu pointed at a gasoline stall across the street.
"Yes already. You wait here. I'll buy some gas first."
Ayu nodded. Then Rashid bought some gasoline on the other side.
"This is the money!" Rashid gave me the rest of the money.
"Price, Sir. I don't have any small money" said the stall owner.
"I also have no small money" said Rashid.
Even with big money, he doesn't have it.
"But there's no change."
The kiosk owner still did not give change.
"If that money is less, sir," said the stall owner.
Then he replaced it with a smaller one.
"If this is right." He gave me a smaller bread.
Rashid just sighed.
"Yes already!" Rashid returned the great bread.
Rashid returned to Ayu's place.
"More. Make you eat your worms. Let's goof!" rasyid said while giving the bread to Rashid.
"Thank you, Dad. They must be happy."
Ayu immediately went up to the bollard, then opened the little bun while eating it.
Just a few meters away, Rashid saw Alya buying fried rice at a street food stall.
Rashid stopped and looked around. Looks like Alya's alone.
"Alya!" call Rashid. He wants to borrow money from his ex-wife. Though actually embarrassed. But rather than later tonight Ayu's starving again.
"Mas Rashid!" sahut Alya's.
"Just....!" Alya immediately approached Ayu.
"Mah..ma...!" said Ayu hesitated.
Rashid had long forbidden him from seeing his mother. Just saying his name can't.
"Down, Yu! That's your mama!" Rashid.
With Ayu's spirit down and immediately hugged Alya.
"Mama. Ayu kangen," said Ayu slowly. Afraid to sound Rashid.
"Yes, Ayu. Mama's missing too." Alya held Ayu tighter.
"Where are you from?" alya asked after releasing her embrace.
"From the hospital, Ma. Nengokin kak Laras's. All of Ayu is also in the diobatin." Ayu showed her wounds.
"Geez, what's wrong with you, Yu?" alya asked concernedly looking at the wound on Ayu's leg.
"Flame fell off the bike, Ma," Ayu replied.
"Nothing. Just a scuff. It's already in medicine, really," said Rashid.
"Keep nengokin Laras in the hospital, does Laras get sick?" ask Alya.
Ayu looked at Rashid. He doesn't want to be wrong, he might get angry later.
"Yes. Sick barrel. Now he's in the hospital" Rashid replied in the end.
"What pain, Mom? Why didn't you tell me?" Alya started to get emotional. Because this morning Rashid didn't tell him that Laras was in the hospital again.
"Nothing. The Barrel is healed. Tomorrow morning I can go home" replied Rashid.
"Mom! The fried rice isn't?" ask the fried rice seller.
"So, Sir!" sahut Alya's.
"Well you want some fried rice too?" alya asked Ayu.
Instead of answering, Ayu looked at Rashid.
Rashid nodded. He felt sorry to see Ayu starving, while he had no more money.
"Let's go, Ma!" sahut Ayu with spirit.
"You want to too, Mum?" Alya offers Rashid.
"Can deh. All for Niken" replied Rashid.
Alya nodded. Then order three more servings.
"Where are the parachutes treated, Mas?" ask Alya.
"In that hospital over there, Ma!" Ayu pointed at the hospital. Because he forgot his name.
Alya nodded.
"In what room? Let me go there tomorrow morning" asked Alya.
"No need. Tomorrow morning Laras is home." Rashid does not want Alya to go there and meet Laras without his knowledge.
"What the hell are you, Mas? I want to take care of my own son!" alya protests.
"And I said, tomorrow Laras is home!" Rashid remained chuckle.
"I'll be able to get there before Laras gets home!" Alya remained strong.
"Ma! How long?" ask a man from the car.
Rashid looked at the man. His eyes almost jumped.
"He's.....!"
