Love is Different

Chapter 5. Lazy to Meet

In September 2013, my new neighbor started occupying his house. I often peeked out of the window of the house, they always left early in the morning and went home in the middle of the night. But not with his son, Adi. Adi left at 8am and went home at midnight. Mama always tried to make me meet with Adi if it was weekend, because sometimes Adi does not go anywhere if Saturday or Sunday. 

"R... It's a lot of rambutan. Bring it to the house next door." Mom is in a hurry - gesa.

"Mama why the hell? How are you so nervous? Yes, my mother loves." I answered while watching TV.

"You don't think of Ri, it's love next door. Aunt Ratna and Om Budi again went to the market." 

"Yaudah Mama aja ahh..." Reply lazily.

"Relie!" Mama Jerking.

I finally obeyed the word Mama. Although I was upset but inevitably I had to obey the words of parents, rather than mama nagging. I also took the rambutan that had been put in a plastic bag. Rambutan harvest at home.

"Excuse me.. Assalamualaikum." I knocked on the door of his house in a soft voice.

"Getishalam." Someone answered from inside the house but a female voice and not long before he opened the door.

"Excuse Mba... This is a rambutan from the next door neighbor." Answer me with a smile.

"Ohh, thank you, Mba...I'll tell my mother." Answer the Mba.

"Yes the same - Mba.. Let's Mbaa... Excuse me." I answered briefly and left the house.

I closed the fence again and went inside again.

"Where? Meet Adi?" My mother asked Adi.

"So. The maid came out." Answer's short.

"Still sleeping again the child yaa mentang - mentang holiday." Answer Mama. 

"You can't be like Ri, the name is there a new neighbor must be friendly and familiar. Don't be arrogant." Mama answered while advising me. 

"Yes Ma...." My answer was short and I tried to obey, Mama said.

***

The next day Mama was still trying to get me to meet Adi. When he was busy heating his car, my mother immediately stormed into my room because that day I went to college at noon.

"R.. You're not in college?" Mom asked, putting a glass of milk on my desk.

"Hmmm.. haahhh I entered noon Ma." My answer is still lazing - malassan in bed. 

"God, the day goes in. Wake up dong, in front of Adi again ready - ready to go to work."

"Yaudah justin the hell Ma. Come in the afternoon." 

"Front there, nyapu cake or flush plants. There.. At 9 o'clock I go home. Sanaa let you come home, clean house."

"Yeah Maa.." 

Finally I went out and swept the yard without the slightest bit I want to look in front of Adi's house, not long Adi's car came out of the yard and after that he left. 

"Get out, you're late." Mom who came out the door.

"Maaa... Ih mama nih really want I met Adi." Answer grumbling.

"Yes, you don't know anyone yet. Don't know then don't love Ri.."

I also did not respond to the words of my mother, really it looks like mom would be a match - match me with the new neighbor's child. Even though I was lazy to meet him, especially I just really broke up with Dhito.
