Section 10

"AMEL!!"

How to raise his head. "Sir, Ijul" he said. Immediately Zul goes into the bathroom and hugs Cara.

Zul's embrace returned tightly, while continuing to cry. "Don't cry anymore."

How to release his embrace and stare at Zul. "I cry why, brother?" ask Cara while wiping away the tears that kept flowing down her cheeks.

Zul frowned. "Well, how do I know why. I just pass by and cry. Did the same thing just happen?"

"I'm going to class first, sister," Cara said after hearing the bell ring.

"But you haven't answered my question." Way of not answering, the girl stood up. Giving a smile then walked out leaving Zul who was still crouching confused about Cara's behavior.

~·~

Raca approached Cara who was standing not far from the fence of the School. Since the break, Cara did not invite him to speak in class. When it was time to go home from school, the girl also seemed to be in a hurry.

"Ma."

"What?" ask the way without looking. He knew the one who called him was Raca.

"Lo, come home to Randy's sister?" asked Raca and Cara just nodded. After that, both of them were silent.

"Where's the motor?"

Raca looked over, "in the parking lot."

"Why not go home?"

"Wait for you, it's going to rain."

"Why wait for me? Yesterday I was alone."

"Then I have an appointment."

"What is the promise?"

"Lo's still mad?"

How to look at Raca. There was no smile on the girl's face. His facial expression was so flat that Raca was sure Cara was still angry with him. "Why am I angry at you?"

"Lo not angry?"

"Lo want me to be angry?" ask How to turn around and Raca shakes her head.

"Gue's sorry if I'm wrong." Cara just nodded, then looked back at the streets.

How to ask Raca something. Someone in front of the bookstore made him very curious.3 the characteristics he saw from behind were the same as Raca. "Ca, last night around 8, where are you?"

"Why?" ask Raca who is curious what the meaning of the question Cara.

"Gapapa, because when I went to the bookstore in the Mall deket my house. There are people who look like you, from behind," Cara replied as she looked at Raca.

"It's not me," said Raca and Cara just a mangosteen.

"How to, let's go home!" Cara and Raca turned.

"Gue go home first, thanks for waiting for me. It's raining soon, come home and don't hang out. This is for you," Cara said as she gave the candy to Raca's hand. Then, the girl walked up to Randy and got on the bike.

"Raca, I go first," said Randy, running his bike after Raca nodded.

Raca opened her hand. A candy with a small piece of paper stuck there. Both corners of Raca's lips lifted after reading Cara's beautiful pen scratches.

If you see a cigarette, you inget the same candy. It's not as sweet as me, but it can make your mouth cool.

~·~

Cara has arrived at her house. He got off the bike, then walked closer to the sister who was playing on the porch of the house. "Hafidz, play outside. Let's go to dalem!"

"Said Mom to play outside first. You see, there is a mother in Dalem," said Hafidz. The 5-year-old boy continued to play with his cars. While the brother went into the house.

"Assalamualaikum" said Cara and the girl was shocked when she saw a woman talking to her mother.

"Waalaikumsalam," answered Nani and Ningsih together.

How to immediately hug the woman he so misses. Ningsih returned Cara's embrace. "Mama misses you" said Ningsih as she stroked Cara's head.

How to take off his embrace. He sat down next to Ningsih. "Ma, Amel misses Mama. Where is my mom going?"

"You're big now," said Ningsih with eyes full of affection, "you don't need to know where Mama is going, which is important now that Mama is back."

How to smile and re-hug Ningsih. For 6 years he has not met the figure of the 2nd Mother in his life.

"How to, you go to the bathroom, take a shower after that meal!" nani orders in the tone as usual.

How to nod then say goodbye to Ningsih. The girl stepped foot into her room.

Ningsih peeked at the door, but all she saw was Hafidz playing in a toy car. "Where's randy?"

"The boy finished his sister coming home, straight to work," said Nani.

Ningsih was surprised and smiled, "your son is very independent. If my son can only take a shot at me."

Nani chuckles for the first time in 6 months. "Your son is big, just like Randy? Where's the school now?"

"In SMA BANGSA 2."

"How to go to school there too."

"It's good that way. They can kayak first again," said Ningsih, "oh yes, Na, later tonight to my house. We had dinner together, and we had kayak together first. Bring all your family members."

"Insha Allah my family can come."

Ningsih stood up, "if so, I'll go home."

Nani also stood up and drove Ningsih to the terrace. "I go home first, don't forget about tonight, Na."

"I won't forget."

Ningsih smiled at Hafidz who was standing hugging Nani's leg. "Hafidz, Aunt go home first. Later tonight to Auntie's house, we'll have dinner together."

Hafidz was silent. He was so afraid of people he didn't know. "Hafidz, kiss Aunt Ningsih's hand!" Hafidz complied and kissed Ningsih's hand. After rubbing Hafidz's head, Ningsih said goodbye.

"Main is machined, take a shower!"

"Yes, ma'am" said Hafidz, picking up his cars and entering the house.

"Where's Mama going, Mom?" tanya Cara who suddenly appeared on the doorstep, made Nani a little surprised.

"Home home," answered Nani ketus, "the next time you don't call Mama, call Aunt Ningsih!"

"What's wrong, Mom?" ask How to be curious. Because, since a long time ago, he called Ningsih Mama, for following Zul.

~·~

"Mom, you haven't come home from work yet?" ask Cara to Nani who is buttoning Hafidz's clothes.

"Father did not come to dinner, he said busy," answered Nani ketus, "yes, Aunt Ningsih must have been waiting for us."

The three men also walked out of the house. Nani locked the door and the fence. Then they went into the yard of Ningsih's house. How to knock on the door of the house.

"Assalamualaik."

Before long the door opened. Zul opens the door. "Waalaikumsalam," replied Zul. Then the guy kissed Nani's hand. Then bring the three guests into the house.

"Well, Na, which husband is Randy?" ningsih asked when she saw that there were only Nani, Cara, and Hafidz.

"Sorry, Ni. My husband is busy working, Randy comes home from work really late" replied Nani. Ningsih smiled and told the three guests to sit at the dining table.

Dinner has begun. There's a lot they talk about. About the past and other stories. How to smile at his mother. He hadn't seen his mother laugh in a long time, just smiled. Thanks to Mom, she laughed.

"Where are you going, Ni?"

"Business, when I was forced. But I don't want to" replied Ningsih.

"Ma, I'm the same way to the living room first," said Zul and Ningsih just nodded. Zul also pulled Cara to the living room.

"Well, brother?"

"Tomorrow, start huh?"

"Start what?"

"What I said on the field, forgot?"

"Son, yes. I'm going to my sister's house tomorrow morning."

Zul smile. Then he peeked out the window when he heard the sound of his Papa's car. "Om Budi has come home" Cara said when she saw Budi get out of the car. Then a motor matic stopped in front of Cara's house, she was Heri.

The two people, instead of greeting each other and hugging to make up for long-term longing, because they did not meet. But, the two looked at each other. Then enter each other's homes.

"Well, do you greet each other?"

~·~

Cara is already standing in front of the fence of Zul's house. He brought a rubber band given by his little friend. Rubber bracelet that has always tied his hair since 6 months.

Before long, Zul got out of the house. Approaching Cara and start braiding her waist-length hair. How to let long hair since his meeting with Zul 6 months ago.

"Well, let's go," said Zul then holding a small hand Cara to School. It's the same as they did for 5 years.

"I'm so anxious first, Brother," said Cara while swinging two hands that hold each other.

"Lo still likes photos in the sun?"

How to nod, "still dong, brother. Why, do you want to take another picture of me?"

"No, what's it doing?" ask Zul back.

"Pasted in Brother's room. Forgot?"

"Don't forget, but, my room has a lot of pictures of you."

Suddenly, Cara stopped her steps to make Zul also stop. How to take off his hand and just immediately scream in excitement. "Sister still sticking my picture in the room?"

Zul nodded, "don't like aunty, if I see it."

Manyun way then smile back. "I guess my brother forgot about me. Brother just took me as little friend Brother."

"Gue can't forget the same lo and until whenever you're my little friend. I love you" said Zul and replied with a sweet smile Cara.

"I love you too, Brother. Promise not to go again, will you?" ask Cara while raising her little finger. Zul wrapped his little finger around Cara's little finger.

"Jointly, can't be denied." Zul nodded and returned to take Cara to the School.

"Thank you, I got to the front of the class. I'll wait in the cafeteria later, Brother," said Cara and Zul nodded. Then the boy walked away to his class.

"Cie.cie..there is another kasmaran with the upperclassmen," Haidan quipped when Cara entered the class. The way that knew the insinuations were directed at him, was just silence. The girl walked over and sat down next to Raca after giving her sweet smile specifically to the guy.

"Ca, don't change Cara's smile. Ntar you have the same problem, Kak Zul," said Haidan when he saw Raca return Cara's smile.

"I'm not afraid!"

"Yes, why should I be afraid. If you are afraid, it will be difficult to find it again," said Haidan who got a message on his head. Haidan grimacing. Everything he did to his head didn't hurt at all.

How to confuse the meaning of Haidan's words. "Gue is no longer kasmaran, you know, Hi."

"Whatever. I want to gombalin yayang Gia first yes," said Haidan then embrace Gia who had been engrossed in struggling with her cellphone.

Gia just let go of Haidan's hand. "Don't touch me! His brother Cara doesn't want me anymore!"

"Duh, don't be fierce yayang Giaku," said Haidan spoiled.

"Gue doesn't want to be the same as a chimpanzee." A tinge of laughter came out from Raca's mouth and Cara's. Haidan swung his lips.

"Hi, Gia's just another shy cat. No one's gonna get mad if you get him."

"Really, Ra?" asked Haidan looking back at his cherry face. How to nod makes Haidan want to hug Gia again. The wavy long-haired girl constantly shouted and tried to dodge.

"Ma."

How to look and raise his eyebrows. "Lo's leaving with that guy?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Why should I be with him?"

"Emang why?"

"Gue asked you?"

"Gue asked you too?"

"So, no fun for people."

"So, no fun with pickles."

Raca sighed. I was upset to hear the words of Cara. He asked seriously, but, instead, was greeted with a joke.

How to smile thinly, "there are times when our body is close to others. But, our souls and hearts will not move to another."
