There's a Guest

I called Rafa many times, to tell him I was going to take the angkot. Though actually, I felt really good when he said he was going to pick me up. But on the other hand, there was a conscience telling me not to be happy and ignore it. But, can I?

"Let's go in first"

I heard my mother's voice outside. Talk to who?I peeked out the window immediately. But it was too late, mother had already entered, and there was nothing I could see.

"So, are you still asleep, are you awake?"

Mom knocked on my room door.

"Still sleeping ma'am"

I answered half screaming.

"Sleep can tell, there's a guest outside"

I went out of the room and heard my mother say there were guests.

"Who are you, ma'am?"

Ask me slowly behind the door.

"Your friend, Rafi or Rafa, her name is yes, I forgot"

"Oh yes ma'am, Rafi Ahmad"

Reply ngasal. After all, I will not believe, where Rafi Ahmad is still in high school.

"Says your classmate?"

I believe it, when I am joking.

"Yes, say ma'am, Uti's sleeping and can't be bothered"

I was looking for a reason to avoid.

"This is where you wake up. He said he wanted to look at Tia, right?"

Damn, mom doesn't support my reasons at all. My mother knows who Tia is.

"Who said ma'am?"

Though, I haven't told you a single bit about Tia's accident with mom.

"Temen you yourself said"

I've guessed. All right, for Tia's sake.

"Yaudah, Uti take a shower first"

I took a towel, but

Mom pulled my hand, and took the towel I just put on my shoulder.

"Eh, take a shower, wash your face. Kasian ntar wait a long time"

My mom likes to not be nice to people.

"Well, that's his business. Tell me who he's here for"

Because I always lost and did not dare to argue with my mother, finally, with a careless step I went to the bathroom, cleaned my face and brushed my teeth. Thirty minutes later, I was done getting ready. I also met Mom and Rafa in the living room. This was the first time a man had picked me up at home and talked to my mother for permission.

But, when I saw Rafa, something made me laugh. Because I felt bad for my mother, I held back my laughter.

Invite me with a hand that shuts my mouth because it still holds back laughter.

"Yes first"

Rafa said while kissing her hand.

"Yes be careful, don't speed it up"

Rafa nodded then left the living room.

"Mother's drug"

I waved at mom, mother returned my hand.

When I got outside, I laughed.

"Lo ngetawain me?"

"Lo abis circumcised huh Fa?"

I asked while pointing down. Rafa followed my index finger, and he laughed at himself. I never thought I could laugh together like this.

"I don't realize I'm still wearing a sarong, just returned home because of it"

Say it with a face that has no shame at all.

"Father, funny instead"

"Eh, what about, your mom, but I don't yak?"

"Why?"

"Then, buy camer"

Suddenly my laughter stopped, for some reason.

And I, say nothing more.

"More"

Rafa handed me the helmet, he brought two apparently.

"So right at school you accidentally heard the chat with Tia, so bring two helmets"

Obviously without asking.

"Dih nguping"

The helmet I wear

"Don't say anything, your people are talking hard"

I don't answer anymore.

Rafa rode the bike, then I got on the back too.

"Handles"

The message before the bike drove, but I pretended not to hear his words.
