Missing You: David

04 Warm Tea

17.00

David's car stopped in front of his father's yard.

Mima's mother who had been pacing back and forth worried about her daughter who did not come home. Increasingly worried about seeing luxury cars parked in front of their yard.

When the car door opened, David went down along with Zea.

"Assalamualaikum," said Zea.

"Waaalaikumsalam" replied the Father.

"Mom, Ze's coming home," call you.

Zea then washed her hands and approached her to kiss her hands. David followed what Zea did.

"Alhamdulillah Ze, I'm afraid you haven't been home by 4."

"So my sister missed the bus, thankfully there was David's brother who ran away."

"Sir, Ma'am" said David in turn.

"Let's go in" said the father.

"No sir, I'll just go home."

"Lhu kok hunt, here stop by first in our cave. It just so happened that I cooked chicken stew and gudeg. Eat first just come home," pinta pak.

"Fear of trouble sir, ma'am."

"Not at all, David, let's go in."

David then followed the father and mother's request. David tailed behind the father, entering the house.

"Ze change first," mother pinta.

"Good Mom."

"Here's David coming in, sitting here" pointing at the sofa in the living room.

David sat down and talked to my father. While the mother in the kitchen was heating up the food.

"So I saw Ze sitting at the bus stop alone, then I asked and it happened to be the same way that I invited Zea to come home together."

"Oh so, son, thank God there are still good people who want to help my daughter."

"Ze is also a good boy sir."

"She is kind, but tends to be closed off with outsiders. I'm surprised why he can be delivered to David, because Zea was never close to any man except his father and his two brothers."

"Once sir apparently, it was appropriate when he first met her like she was not so fond of me. Even in the second meeting Zea was still afraid of me."

"Perhaps because you don't know him yet, I hope David can be good friends with Zea."

"Good sir."

Zeana came down after changing clothes while carrying a pepper bag. After descending, Zea helps the mother in the kitchen prepare food.

"The food is ready sir."

"Yes ma'am, let's go David."

"Good sir."

The father sat in his great chair, while the mother was on the right side of the father. David was sitting to his left with Zea next to David.

"Eat David's son."

"Okay sir, thank you."

"We're not waiting for another family member?"

"No son, first brother Zea had a seminar and didn't come home while his second brother was still in college. He can eat by himself."

"Oh yes sir."

"Yes, son."

"Yes, I've eaten, '" Zea replied as she poured tea in David's glass.

"This is what Ze?"

"So warm tea, for a drink."

"After tea?"

"Yes drink warm because mom cooks opor with lots of chili so warm water will help quickly reduce the spicy."

"All right, thank you."

"The same."

They eat together without talking. David's face like burning will heat opor as well as spicy chili and sambal. However, David seemed to hold back hunger by just smiling and being silent without speaking.

After eating, my mother cleaned the food and dirty dishes into the kitchen.

The conscious Zea took warm water to drink David.

"It's brother drinking."

"Huh?"

"Drink, brother."

David told Zea by drinking the warm water. Little by little the spicy in David's mouth disappeared.

"Eat this too sis," while offering peanut candy.

"This is what Ze?"

"Eat it, sister, it's candy. Sweet."

"All right."

David chews slowly and feels the spicy in his mouth completely gone. Zea then leaves David for the sink to wash the dishes.

"Want me to help you?"

"No need, brother, this is a hassle. Guests just sit in the living room."

David left Zea. David and Dad talked to each other again with warm tea. The day began to evening, David was not comfortable to linger there for long.

"It's almost night, sir, I beg you. Thanks for the meal and the welcome, sir. Thanks."

"Yes, David, don't be afraid. I thank you for bringing my daughter home safely."

"No problem sir, anyway I'm with Zea in the direction of the pack."

"Alhamdulillah son then, wait a minute let Zea come."

"Ze, David's son wants to go home. Hurry up here."

"Bent sir."

Zea came while carrying a pepper bag in her right hand.

"This is my brother" holding out the papper bag.

"This is what Ze?"

"Novel series is Great Troy brother."

"You give me the pinjem?"

"Yes, obviously, my brother."

"Thank you, I'll give it back."

"It has to be brother, it's mandatory."

"Yaudah, please excuse me sir."

"Hey heart, David."

David drove his car out of Zea's yard.

Zea went to the room to wash herself. After the magrib prayer, Zea went down to pick up tea and helped the mother fold the clothes.

"Today's school how's Ze?"

"Okay ma'am, there's still not much work to do so Ze's still loosely timed."

"It's important for time, son. Don't think too much about homework. I'm responsible so you just focus on school."

"Ready lady hihi."

"Oh yes, what father is Mom?"

"Father delivered vegetables to the next village."

"Sports car sales father no hehe, but who's the same Mom tonight like this?"

"Sama mang Ali, it was finished magrib here so go directly to the father."

"Oh, so mom's shop is closed?"

"Yes, I asked us at home because it is already malem. Most of you get home at 9. That's why you said the stall was closed."

"Well, you should've called me."

"Halah Ze , close the rolling door mah mother also pinter is son."

" Ohi."

Mother smiled as she stroked the head elus of Zea.

"Assalamualaik."

The sound of greetings was heard from the front door with a very sticky and familiar voice.

"That's a rich voice mas Aslan Bu."

"Let's open it first."

"Waaalaikumsalam," replied Zea loudly.

Aslan went in with mom.

"Mas tumben home at night?"

"Yes, the class finished this afternoon but there was a committee meeting."

"Ohhh."

"Ohh aja?"

"Well, what else do you want."

"Judah I took a shower, ma'am,"

"Yes, the hot mom first."

"No, ma'am, Aslan ate something, ma'am."

"Cold but As."

"Father Ma'am."

"Judah, take a shower."

*****

At David's house

David sprawls his body on the bed holding a novel he borrowed from Zea.

"Who would have thought there was a girl who liked a novel like this. Unique taste."

Tok

"Excuse me, this young master Bi Ijah."

"What's Bi?" david asked, opening the door of his room.

"The chairman came to visit so the mistress asked me to call the young master."

"Oh yeah bi, I'll be down soon."
