Love is Different

Chapter 3. New Neighbor

The next day, I was yelled at by my mother because she had not woken up and the time had shown at 9.00 WIB in the morning. 

"Relie!!! Banguuunnnn! It's heyyy!" 

"Hmmm Azaghfirullah." I answered while jumping out of bed.

"About - the holiday season." Ledek Mama who has been busy tidying up clothes - clothes.

"Where are you going? How neat?" Ask wonder.

"Mama wants to go to the house, there will be a new neighbor, he said. Want a contract next door to our house he said." 

"Oh that. Thank God there is a house that is in place."

"Yeah... Udah ah, there shower, breakfast. Don't sleep anymore."

"Yeah Maa..." I answered while taking a towel to take a bath.

I took a shower and then I had breakfast. Mama must have prepared a glass of milk for my breakfast. After that I peeked through the window of the house, seeing that in front there was already someone coming to prepare to occupy the house. I saw two cars, one old antelope and one old Jazz honda. 

I thought, this is the guy from where I want to live next door. The house next to me is not worth living in, dirty, weathered building, yes it is not comfortable to be a place to live. 

"Son... The one who lives next door to his son is cute. I think he's young. You don't want to meet him?" Suddenly my mother came in excitedly talking about the new neighbor.

"Thanks to me, I thought there was something about my mom - it was so big."

"Yaaaa his name is a new neighbor - nanya maa.."

"Yaa out to acquaintance Naaak."

"When - when. I'll see you every day, too." 

"Yee you are. Don't do that.. Don't be arrogant about you being the new guy." Mama answered while nagging.

I just kept quiet and didn't answer. Then Mama came out again and went to the house to chat again with the new neighbor But it turns out that the neighbor did not live there today, just still moving some things.

I don't know who my neighbor is, who you mean and why you're so interested in introducing me to him. Mama says he's handsome like my favorite singer Reza. Ah yes how can there be someone as handsome as Reza my favorite singer. Even Yori was not similar to just having something in common, namely having dimples. 

And after she and her parents left, Mama went back in with excitement again. 

"Ri, Mama is given her Family Card. His name is Adi, his son, Adi Wiranda. Born in 1986, my mother thought she was 20 or 22. Ih very far as you age, do not look like Ri." 

I was curious when Mama mentioned her name, soon I searched her name on google and on facebook. It has a name and a taraa... I saw, he was wearing glasses, muscular body, not too tall, sweet face, rather white skin. I doubt he is a real man or not, from the photo looks like a man who likes the same sex. So I ignored the words - said Mama after that. 

"Next week will there be spraying tuh, later he said they want to come again Ri." Mama said again.

"Hmmm..." My response was just ordinary and Mama after that no longer discussed it, it was a relief.
