Mother to My Nephew
54. Kangen



After Toriq's departure the house feels lonely, although at home there is still Roland and Rafa. In the afternoon Annisa sat pensively on the porch of her house.


“What's the morning, Nis?” ask Roland.


“Not cook?” ask Roland again.


“Buy aja, A. Again lazy cook,” replied Annisa with no spirit.


“Just left a few hours is not excited, let alone left 2 weeks can be like undead no signs of life,” Roland said while sneering.


Annisa just turned her head towards Roland for a while then looked straight ahead while daydreaming again.


Roland sighed.


“Ayo Aa interracial,” says Roland.


Annisa turned to Roland while frowning.


“Where do you send?” ask Annisa confused.


“Antar buy food. He said he wanted to buy food, ” replied Roland.


“Oh...,” Annisa did not move from her seat.


Roland sighed to see Annisa yan not also moving from her seat.


“Annisa, if Annisa keeps daydreaming when is the way?” ask Roland.


“Iya A, Annisa take the wallet first,” replied Annisa then enter the house.


Soon after, Annisa returned with a wallet and a cell phone.


“Not far? If you are far away by car,” asked Roland.


“Lumayan far away, A,” Annisa replied.


“After Aa grab the car keys first,” Roland said then go inside the house.


Inside Umar's house sees Roland carrying the car keys from the room.


“Aa where you going?” ask Umar.


“You between Teteh buy food,” replied Roland.


“Umar want to come,” Umar said.


“Iya may,” replied Roland.


“Rafa also icut, Om,” says Rafa.


“Rafa take his shoes first,” Roland said.


With a swift toddler it went into Annisa's room, then came out again while carrying her shoes.


Rafa takes his shoes out of the house and they give them to Annisa.


“Mamah use fast,” says Rafa.


“Rafa go where to wear shoes?” ask Annisa confused.


“Rafa and Umar want to come,” Roland said.


“Let them come along, let you not daydream,” Roland said.


Then Annisa put Rafa on the shoes. And they got into Roland's car waiting in front of Annisa's house.


“Buy the satellite where?” asked Roland while focusing on driving.


“Nearby Ciburuy,” replied Annisa.


It turned out that Annisa bought satay pretty far from her house.


“Much so, Nis bought the satellite,” Roland said as he parked his car in front of the satay seller.


“Here the satellite is delicious, A. Tongseng and the scroll are also delicious,” replied Annisa while opening her seat belt.


Annisa went down and opened the back door. Umar got out of the car while Rafa was carried by Annisa.


They entered the satay vendor's kiosk. Annisa ordered satay and tongseng in considerable quantities. Because Toriq gave enough money, Annisa could buy a lot of food for her family.


Unlike usual they can only eat with alakadarnya, even buying satay can only buy a little and divided the rame-rame for the family.

At eight o'clock in the night Annisa was lying in her room. Because Rafa was already sleeping soundly, so Annisa could rest. Outside the room there were the voices of Mr. Ernawan and Roland who were watching the Indonesian ball game against Malaysia.


Annisa checked her phone maybe there was a message coming in. But suddenly there was a ringing call coming from his phone. Sailed with the name Abang Toriq. Annisa took a deep breath and answered her phone.


“Assalamualaikum,” says Annisa.


“Waalaikumsalam. Not sleeping?”


“This is new to sleep.”


“Abang disturb Annisa, yes?”


“No, Bang.”


“Where's rafa? How come there's no sound?”


“Have slept.”


“Rafa satiety eat chicken satay.”


Annisa imagines when Rafa eats his own chicken satay. His mouth and cheeks were straws of peanut butter.


“Rafa ate alone or bribed his Mom?”


“Eat yourself. Rafa doesn't want to be bribed. But Annisa let go first skew the skewers afraid to stab Rafa.”


Suddenly heard the sound of shouting “GOLLLLLLLLLL,” from the tv room.


“Whose voice is it?”


“Sound Father and Roland watching a football match.”


“Abang not watching football games?”


“This brother again watched in the room. But because she misses Annisa, you watch her while calling Annisa. Afraid of Annisa sleepy,”


“Abang was up to home what time?”


“Until four.”


“Kok cepet, anyway? My brother didn't use the brakes, did he?”


“Ya use dong. If not use the brake later Abang nabrak.”


“Abang nyetirnya speeding, yes?”


“No, Annisa, Abang speed is moderate. It just so happens that the road is empty.”


“Do not like speeding, danger.”


“Iya Annisa, Brother will not speed.”


“God willing next week Brother to Annisa's house again. If allowed, Annisa Abang's father would stay at Annisa's house. If you are not allowed to stay overnight Brother sleep in a hotel only.”


“Iya, Bang.”


“Kok only replied “Iya, Bang”.”


“Terus Annisa should answer what?”


“Should have replied “Iya, Bang. Annisa wait for arrival Abang”.”


“Iya, Bang. Annisa wait for the arrival of Abang.”


“Besok Abang leave alone, deh. To follow Annisa to Padalarang. Denger Annisa says that Brother is kangen.”


“Eh. Later pity the patient Brother if Brother does not enter work.”


“But Brother kangen.”


“Kan next week Abang want to come here, later can meet Annisa.”


“But the wait is too long. Later Abang keburu got malarindu disease.”


“If pain eat medicine, Bang. My brother is doctor.”


“But the pain medicine is desperately in Padalarang.”


“Abang can call or video call with Annisa.”


“He deh. But you can call Annisa every day, yes?”


“Iya, Brother.”


“Udah first, yes. Annisa must have been sleepy, Brother is also sleepy.”


Toriq's voice was yawning.


“Assalamualaikum.”


“Waalaikumsalam.”


Annisa turned off her phone and put it on the study table. Annisa lies down next to Rafa and sleeps while hugging Rafa.

The next morning Annisa returned cheerful as usual. He did his usual activities, helping his mother cook and clean the house. Today everyone is back to routine activities, namely work and school. Early in the morning Roland had escorted Aisyah and Umar to school in his car.


But when Roland offered to take Mr. Ernawan to work, Mr. Ernawan refused him on the grounds that it was not good with Mr. Camat because Mr. Camat was simple, but his subordinates came escorted by a luxury car. Roland's car is not a million people's car. As the son of a businessman Roland bought a car at a fantastic price.


“Kan only occasionally delivered using Roland's car. Mumpung Roland is here,” persuade Roland.


“Thank you, no need. You want to go on a kukut aja,” said Mr. Ernawan while pointing to the duck motor output in 2000.


“Udah A, Mr. Mah is indeed too much love with the kukut,” said Annisa.


Finally, Roland relented and let Mr. Ernawan go using the yoke of his favorite duck motorcycle.
