Lovely Move On

Four

I saw that she went back inside the house without seeing me, she went straight into her room and quickly locked the door.

“Bu, listen to Nay's explanation first, Nay please bu.” I said, pleading and knocking on my mother's door.

“Enough Nay, to your room there. Introspect yourself. What wrong! I don't need your explanation!” Shouting mother.

I immediately rushed towards the room and cried again while hugging the bolster. Yeah, I'm sorry why I didn't tell Mom the truth. You should know from me not know this bad news from anyone else. Now I trust the words of Atik and Lita more than I hear my explanation. But the rice has become porridge. Now all I have to do is let my mother go for a while so that things calm down and I don't get angry with me anymore.

Two days mother and I did not greet each other not because I did not want to first rebuke mother. But I kept quiet because I felt guilty for not telling my mother the truth. My father also asked me to talk.

“Nay, understand your mother's condition. You may just need time to calm down. Your mother was shocked by everything that happened. Dad and Yuli, your sister already know the story from mom. But I'm sure it wasn't Nay who was wrong.” Father's words were so softly heard.

“Why do I know that Nay is innocent,” I said quietly.

“Because I know the nature of the father's son. Father's children are not likely to demean others. I know, Atik and Lita are just looking for your mistakes so you and Tomi break up.” Father's words can calm your heart.

I just nodded at my father's explanation.

“So far, Brother Nay, don't think about it. Nay is not married to Tomi. Means Tomi is not the right man for sister Nay,” suddenly Yuli appears and immediately hugs me.

We both hugged and I hugged both of us. The smell of my father's body was able to calm me down from my broken heart.

Mom and Dad were going to the supermarket for some household shopping. At home, there was only me and Yuli. Suddenly Lita and her sister, Budi came to my house. Without letting them in, they went straight in and sat in my living room chair.

"So no need to talk anymore. We're here to collect back the money Tomi gave you for thirty million rupiahs. So you must also return it today!" Said Lita with a ketus.

"Eh you don't dodge well Naya, let's love us not the money! Or we report to the police on fraud grounds because you've embezzled Tomi's money!" The word Budi chimed.

"Oh, please let me know that Tomi gave me the money where the proof is! There's no evidence of a transfer from Toni's account to my account. I need proof, not your rude talk, boy!" I said furious.

They are both confused and mutually supportive. Indeed they did not bring any evidence or a black agreement on white that Tomi was right to hand the money to me because there was no evidence whatsoever. Yes, checkmate!

“Well then there is no more business, you better leave than you just make a scene in our house. You should be ashamed, already snapped at sister Naya but there is no proof. Chees. You guys usually talk without proof! Why do you waste energy here to defend your cowardly om!” Banish Yuli cynically.

They left with their waists and stomped their feet, a sign of defeat and no strings attached! You little boy, don't know in adab. Me and Yuli instantly tos and laughed together.

Shortly after the two unlucky boys came home, mom and dad came home from the supermarket with a lot of groceries and did not forget to bring a big box of my favorite donuts and four fresh milk iced coffee. Hmm, mom and dad knew that our stomachs were rattled by the boys.

“This is for Nay and Yul, I brought souvenirs for you, spent yes nak.” Mum softly said. It seems that mother's anger is gone.

“Yeee, I know what our favorite is,” says Yuli with glee while picking donuts.

I am also sad that my mother has forgiven me. I immediately rushed into my mother's arms.

“Bu, sorry Nay yes. Sorry Nay.” I don't feel my tears shed. Mom hugged me back and smiled.

“Already yes, Nay does not need to cry anymore. I already know which is right and which is wrong. I know that Nay is innocent.” Answer mom smiling. “Already, let's eat the donuts.

I also ate doughnuts and sucked milk iced coffee. Uh, delicious and fresh during a hot day like here. I looked at the faces of mother, father, and Yuli one by one, they smiled with relief.

Mom, thank you for forgiving Nay. Nay promises never to repeat Nay's mistake again, my promise to myself.
