Part. 125



This weekend brings a different taste. Not only for Razka and her family, but also for Dewa and Tina who were well received by them.


The gathering of all family members, gives a deep impression for their lives. The dishes lay on a mat that they deliberately brought from home.


It was Tina and Aulia who prepared. The old men have been sitting sweetly taking their place. The same goes for the two girls who have changed clothes. Except, him, the young man who was still inside the pond.


The young man's face looked up at the sky, letting the sunlight hit its surface. Only the junks who sometimes go up and down sip saliva. Maybe his throat is dry, but he doesn't care. His heart was so happy that he himself forgot that the sun was at the top.


"Is Brother still in the water?" asked Nasya who did not find Bima sitting with them.


"He didn't clean up with you?" Aulia asked back while neatly arranging the glasses as well as the dishes they would use for eating.


"So I still want to be in the pool. I don't know what he's doing there" said Nasya who grazed a slice of cucumber and devoured it.


"Bima is always like that when invited to swim. He will be alone for a while in the pool, after being satisfied he will go up and eat" Tina said, looking at their faces.


Aulia who had been feeling anxious slowly turned relieved. Ah, one more thing, they do not know anything about Bima.


"Do I need to call?" Ayra volunteered because after all, Bima had not appeared for half an hour.


"No need, Miss. Even if she is called, she won't say it, but if you don't believe me, you can try it" Tina suggested to all of them.


Ayra and Nasya went together, curious about the strange behavior of the young man who felt at home lingering in the pool. The two looked at each other when they found Bima who was lying in the middle of the pool alone.


He looks calm undisturbed even though the surroundings are very noisy.


"Sister! Come, up. We eat!" call Nasya from the pool.


"Baim, you've been in the water too long. Go up, warm your body!" timpal Ayra was also standing at the same spot.


A few moments waiting no response from Bima. The young man was still calm in the middle of the pond without budging even a bit. The two girls came back after several calls that Bima did not heed.


"How's it?" sambar Razka as his two daughters returned in a doldrums.


"Because, Brother did not even understand our call" Nasha complained as she sat on the mat where she was.


"Let it go, soon it will go up," said the god, smiling at them. Memorized very well with the attitude of the young man, if he already got what he was looking for in the water he would come out by himself.


"Astaghfiullah! Are you waiting for me to eat!" exclaimed Bima with widened eyes seeing the dish on the mat has not been touched in the slightest.


Everyone looked up at him, he was even tidy. Though, just now that Nasya and Ayra had called out to him, the young man was still inside the pond.


Widening the eyes of the two girls, disbelief so quickly Bima changed clothes.


"That's been a mystery to us all along. He was very quick to change clothes, but just was still in the pool," said Tina explained about the situation Bima who made everyone gulp.


"Your brother and sister just got back from there. They said you were still in the middle of the pool not hearing the calls they were making. Then, why are you here all of a sudden and have you changed your clothes?" Razka's forehead creased until the ends of her eyebrows met.


Bima who was now confused like a dazed person, before long he smiled strangely and just scooped his shoulders.


"I didn't hear them call me, Dad. Maybe someone else they saw and I was in the locker room" he said, munching on a fried shrimp.


Nasya and Ayra turned their heads in disbelief, what the hell is that young man? Clearly what they saw was him, now he is giving up.


Aulia sighed, putting an end to everything. "Already, the most important thing is that Baim is already here. We eat together because the sun has come down from the top" said Aulia, who is embraced by everyone.


Lunch means something else to them. Especially for God and Tina who all her life there were only the two of them before Bima came. Plus Bima, and now the increasing number of family members even though they are other people in the association.


Razka and her two girls were still staring suspiciously at Bima. Especially Nasya, the soul wants to rebel. His gaze was still the same sharp, seeking the truth of what had happened to his older brother.


They all move towards a mushola after filling their stomachs. Obligations to God the Giver of All Delights. This time, Razka who became a priest according to Bima's request.


"Are we going again?" nasha asked Ayra who was sitting next to her. The three of them lined up in the foyer of the mosque waiting for the parents to finish their needs. No one's saying.


"Dad, where are we going?" nasha asked as soon as Razka walked out the door of the mosque.


"Dad will take you to where you used to be a satay merchant" he said.


Enthusiastic sparkles were clearly visible on their beads. The journey of the father's life they had heard from a few mouths. A traveling satay salesman's brother, becomes the heir of the city's largest corporation. Who doesn't know him? A generous person who rarely appears in public.


Aulia herself also wanted to know, the sales stand where Razka and Aisyah went when she was young. Split up to meet back in better shape.


The sales stand was transformed into a beautiful garden. There is a special section that is prepared for children to play like a kindergarten. On the outskirts of the park are lined with carts prepared by the local government and Pratama Group is a major investor in the development of the park.


"There's where Dad's selling, next to that soto cart. Then, Aisyah beside the others," Razka explained pointing at the soto cart that was still loyal there.


"Dad, I haven't tasted Grandma's soto in a long time. Can we sit there?" yell Ayra suddenly. Remembering when he was a child, he and Razka often visited their place to sell soto just say hello or enjoy a bowl of warm soto that felt like nothing.


"Can. Come on, let's greet them!" take Razka to everything. After years of not appearing, many of them recognize, but fear wrong when they want to reprimand. All the merchants there have changed, many of which Razka does not recognize. Only one person, the seller soto. The son of the previous shop owner who Aisyah saved as a child.


"Big Master. Maa shaa Allah ... long time no see, sir," her screech immediately broke into tears and involuntarily embraced Razka's body while at a whim.


"How are you?" razka asked after parsing a longing hug.


"Alhamdulillah. Fine, Mister. I am good ... please! Please sit down, Sir. I will make soto for you guys" he said, wiping tears on his cheeks.


In spirit he concocted some soto bowls. I don't want any mistakes in the treat. Razka and all her family had been sitting in a circle at a round table. Soto dishes are the closing of their day. Equipped with a story from the seller.
