Love of the Duda

the story of the past

Some days Asha does not go to school on the grounds that she is sick, knowing her favorite teacher is sick Fania persuades Fandi to take her to visit Asha.

Not just the two of them, there's Alif. The boy Fandi always looked up to not be close to Fania. He would glare resentfully at the boy when he saw the nosy Alif constantly approaching Fania and even holding her hand.

Fania patted her forehead as Fandi scolded Alif who had deliberately provoked Fandi. The small and thin man purposely held Fania's hand as he got out of the car to Asha's closed house.

"Fania's tired seeing you guys fighting, dizzy!" Fania pretends to follow Dian when scolding him and Al when fighting over a television remote or when Al does not want to teach or play Fania.

"Tuh, Om, Fania just to look dizzy Om angry." Lazily serving the annoying boy, Fandi holds Fania's hand and knocks on Asha's door, but nosily Alif grasps Fania's free hand.

"What are you doing, huh?" ask Fandi annoyed. His face flushed with cursing and if necessary punching.

"Together with Fania, Om," replied Alif lightly.

"I'm sorry I accepted your parents' offer to bring you here. For the sake of cooperation, Fandi. Patience." Fandi rubbed his chest remembering that he would cooperate with Alif's parents from Alif can come to visit Asha.

"Well, Ma'am Asha is long, huh?" Fandi just realized it had been almost five minutes there was no sign Asha would open the door.

"We'll just go home, maybe the teacher's mom's out." Actually Fandi is worried about the state of Asha, he is afraid if the consequences of Asha to this extent.

Fania shakes. "No want! Ms Asha is sick again, why mess around? Fania if she's sick at home, it's."

"Yes, Alif too. If the pain is not allowed to go play first," interrupted Alif. Fandi sighs resignedly. He finally nodded and knocked back the door of Asha's house.

"Fan, just go home, yuk. I don't think Ms. Asha is right to be home." Fania looked lethargic and lackluster finally nodded. However, just as they were about to leave there was the sound of a key being turned and a door knob being pressed. Fania and Alif looked at each other and laughed happily.

"Assalamualaikum, Ma'am guru," greeted the two in unison and hugged Asha whose face looked withered.

"Wa'alaikumussalam." Asha invites them in, as Fandi passes by her to enter the woman stares dislike.

"What is my son Asha sick?"

"Mother Asha is going to school tomorrow?"

Asha nodded awkwardly answering the question of two of her students who chose to sit on the right-left side of her. "Your face is pale, is it a cure?" Asha nodded with no intention of answering.

Fania stretched out her hand and placed it on Asha's forehead, just like Fandi who often did it when she was sick. "No fever." He even put his hand on his own forehead.

"Mom is better."

"Yeeay," they both cheered.

"Thank God." Fandi.

Asha saying goodbye to the back will make them drink, without him knowing Fandi came to the back on Fania's orders. The two boys asked Fandi to keep Asha, as he was not, afraid of why-why even though he felt suspicious of what the two did.

"I help you." Fandi's sudden remarks made Asha startled and dropped the glass she was holding. He turned around and looked at Fandi annoyed.

"What are you doing here?" asha asked while crouching down to pick up the broken glass.

Fandi came along and said, "Fania asked me here to help her teacher. You all right?" Asha snorted and moved to the litter box to remove the broken glass, followed by Fandi as well.

"You better go with them, I don't want anything bad if you're still here." Asha took a new glass and put in the coffee. "How many spoons?"

"Huh? What's?"

"Coffee," said Asha a little ketus. Fandi scratched his nape and grinned even though Asha did not see him. "Two?" Fandi.

"Can you please?"

"What?"

Asha turned her head slightly. "If you don't want to be no problem either." Fandi gaping did not understand the purpose of Asha.

"You didn't say anything and I don't know what you want."

"Pick up the biscuits in the closet next to you and put them in the jar." Asha slowly stirred Fandi's coffee slowly. Fandi complied with Asha's request. Though in the past he never did it except at Sarah's request, to Dian and his mother he will often reason anything not to obey.

"So you're in love again, right?" tease Dian when Fandi sends Fania to her parents' house The little girl wants to complain and tell Al, aunty, opa, and her omens about Asha.

Fandi glanced at the annoyed Dian who was now very fond of teasing him. "Yes, it's okay, it's good. So you can forget Sarah!"

Fandi massaged his temple. "Even until anytime it will not be possible," he said sure. Dian grabbed Fandi's hair due to being too upset.

"Don't be stubborn and admit it. Very difficult. If he's taken people watch out if it gets cry." Dian then came in to Al and Fania who were fighting over a picture book ignoring Fandi.

"Rude woman," he murmured.

Not long before Fania ran up to Fandi and handed him the borrowed phone. Fandi widened his eyes to see Fania making an incoming call with Asha. "Why?"

"So, Fania wants to hear the voice of the teacher, but ...." Fania plays the end of her hair with a twist, not daring to look at Fandi. Fandi had not had time to ask back, there was a voice of someone with worry.

"Yes, hello" said Fandi. His forehead shriveled as the voice did not belong to Asha. "Fainted?" Fandi glanced at Fania who was looking at him expectantly. "All right, I'll be right there." Fandi turned off the incoming call and got up.

"Dad, come." Fandi crouched down equalizing her height with the princess and rubbed her head gently.

"Fania is here with Al. I have to go to the hospital, it won't be long." Fania shakes. Even now she is crying. Dian fiddled Fandi's ear to see his nephew crying.

"What are you doing with me?" Dian carried Fania despite some distress due to her weight.

Fandi throbs up and gets up. "What's your own child? Fania wants to come with me to the hospital."

"Who's sick?" ask without looking at Fandi. Dian tried to calm her nephew who was still crying. "Bring your son, you know this Fania yourself if you want something must be obeyed!" orders again.

"Hospitals are not good for young children. I'm only gonna be a minute anyway, Asha fainted." Dian looked at Fandi probing.

"Don't misunderstand me. Fania called her teacher on my phone, so I know." Fandi approached Fania who was still wiping her tears.

"Listen to Daddy!" Fania nodded. "Now that Fania is here, I will give news about Bu Asha to Fania" said Fandi softly. He kissed his daughter's forehead.

"Follow Dad, Fania is worried about you. Mother must have been terrified there." Dian held back a laugh when she saw how her nephew called his teacher mother with an adorable face.

Fandi exhaled roughly, she glanced at Dian asking for help, but the woman instead shrugged her shoulders unconcernedly. "Dad," whining.

"OK, but don't be naughty."

"I'm coming too!" al shouted that approached the three of them. Fania asked to come down and cheered happily as Fandi agreed.

"Yes, Mama will follow. Fandi keep the same kid. Watch until something's chafed." Fandi didn't care, he took the two out of the house.

"Fan, where's the hospital? Brother's place of work isn't it?" exclaiming Dian and Fandi just nodded without giving a voice answer. He was very upset with his older sister who could not be collaborated with.
