Love is Different

Chapters 10. The Beginning of Communication

On the last days of the new year 2014, I and FAMTOM were busy talking about the new year.

"Where's Ri been this year?" Ask Sera.

"Where - where it looks.. I want to be at home.. At best I make satay Madura."

"Ihhh yummy dongg.." 

"Hahaha yaa satay condiments gitu Ser... Not a chicken satay yaa.." 

"Oh, that's different, Ri?"

"Different.. If the chicken satay that is used soy sauce gitu yaa emang typical of madura is also sold equally - the average Madurese. But this is no more satay seasoning... If the condiment is from cows not chicken. The roof is red.."

"That's good like yaa Ri..."

"It's really good, I'd like to eat sampe can't stop Ser.."

"Woy.. On what the hell are you two talking about? It's really exciting." Sissy comes with Fily and Viana.

"This is Riri he said he wants the new year to burn - grill satay madura..." Answer Sera.

"That's delicious for sure.. Who made you sure, huh??" Ask Fily.

"Yeahaha.. I can't make it suer.." Answer me while laughing.

"Ihhh learning dong Ri... Who knows if you can make us..." Viana Sahut.

"Hahaha yes later I learned the same eye I yaa.. Where are you guys in the year?" 

"Gue same Mily like the hell went with my family to my aunt's house." Answer Fily.

"Gue to my sister-in-law's house.. My brother did that yesterday." Sissy.

"Gue mah at home with my family, the most cooked - just cook.." Viana Sahut.

"Gue same neighbor - my neighbor burned the most - burn..." Answer Sera.

"Ihh exclaim yaa bakar - burn with the neighbors.. Rame dong yaa Ser?"

"Yoy...." Answer Sera.

"Lo where's Res?" I asked Resty who had been quiet and busy playing HP since then.

"Si Resty was serious from earlier.." Sera Sahut.

"Tau Res's.. By dongg..." Sissy Ledek.

"Hahaha yaa sori yaa.. I'm playing a game again. So exciting... I was home the most years. Cooking usually..." Resty replied with a small laugh.

"We don't want a new year together?" The new Mily came.

"Yee, we're going to Aunt Mil's house. It also can't be because of wanting the same family..." Answer Fily.

"So, are we?" Ask Mily to Fily.

"Let's be, Mama said yesterday." Answer Fily.

"Udah... It'll be a storm in a minute.." Sera Sahut.

We laughed together too. 

After the day was over, I went home.

"R..." Welcome Mom when I just got home.

"Assalamualaikum Ma'an.." My answer.

"Goddessalam.. Ri.. Mama's got the number Aunty Ratna." Mom says it's like showing off something that doesn't matter.

"Why did Ma?" I was a little cynical.

"Yeah gapapa... Who knows, you'd want the number for Aunt Ratna..." Answer Mama.

"Son.. Do what I keep simple." 

"Yes, make communication.." 

"Udah ah I want to be clean - clean first continue to want to rest, Ma.. Oh yeah tomorrow I'm off until the new year, Ma..." My answer.

"Asian.... But Father of the year just take care of my son..." 

"Judah, we are in Ma's house... The same or the same bude, sir.." 

"Yes yes... Do you want your mom to make milk?"

The next day the princess was busy making satay for the new year.

"I'll burn it at home, won't I, Eyang?" I asked while helping out.

"Yeah. Bude - Bude and Pakde - your pack is here." 

"Yeah... Rame dong's.." 

"It's Ri's year..." 

Not long after, my cousin Viennese, Ka Amel, Bude Tari and Pakde Roki came to pick up Pakde Dimas. 

"Assynoltomodel.." Sapa Bude Tari while carrying the parcel. 

"Goddessalam.." I answered simultaneously with Eyang.

"Eyebrow's elbow makes spice satay.." The Viennese sat right next to me.

"Help me son..." Bude Tari.

Me, Vienna and Ka Amel also sat down and helped Eyang to stab the satellite and spice it up. 

Until we finally arrive to prepare - ready to welcome the new year at night. We are cool to burn seasoning satay, grilled chicken and fish after that we eat together. 

"Thank God for 2014." Answer me with a smile.

"Yes yes.. Don't feel.." Answer Vienna.

"Yaudah, come home, son.." Sahut Bude Dance.

After everyone came home, my mom and I went home.

"Tante Ratna same Om Budi in the last year at the house of his brother Adi tuh because Si Adi is not at home." Mama said when my mom and I went into the house.

"Yaudah justin Ma.. His son has 2." I answered while locking the door.

"Tomorrow the Adi came home as if..." I continue to talk about Adi. 

"Hmmm yaudah sleeping yuk Ma.. Sleepy." My answer was to close the door of the room.

"Good night, Riri.." Answer Mama.

"Good sleep, too, Ma..." 

On January 2nd, I went back to college and started studying as usual. When I was on break Mama sent me an SMS message.

"R... This is Adi who just returned from Lombok. Keep bringing by - by for you. It was tucked into the eye because mama was out."

"Oh yes, thank you." Short reply.

"Say yourself dong same person, later mama give her number aunt Ratna yes. Let's just make your own contact." 

"Yes, I'll text aunt Ratna." 

Mama also sent her Aunt Ratna number via SMS. I sent an SMS and thanked him. Then I told Mama but she was still not satisfied.

"You asked for Adi's number. Direct SMS dong." 

Again - again I have to obey because indeed he has given by - by me.

"Tante, can Riri ask for Ka Adi's number? Riri wants an SMS thank you." 

"Ohh yes can Ri, later aunty sendin ya a moment." 

Before long Aunt Ratna sent Adi's number via SMS. I also without a second thought sent an SMS to thank you. 

"Assalamualaikum Ka Adi, this is my neighbor brother Riri. I was told that my brother loved by - by - from Lombok. I'd like to thank you immediately brother, I asked sister number to Aunt Ratna." 

"Goddessalam Ri... Yes - the same.... May you please yaaa by - by her." Reply Adi quickly. 

"Yeah God loves it." Answer's short.

"Ciee who's tuhh?" Mily asked while glancing at my HP.

"Eh.. This is my neighbor Mil" I answered.

"The neighbor? Why your neighbor? No story - this story." Mily Ledek.

"Not a story. I'll tell you about this guy later but later. Let's go in first... We're going to go to college again.." 

Me and the others entered the class and started the lesson that day. That was the beginning of finally communicating with Adi.
