Mother to My Son
Meeting with Nena



During this time Reza always saw stalls on the side of the road that sells food, if on the way home from the office, he saw people eating in tents that sell various foods.


Some are alone, some are with friends or partners, some are chatting with fun, some are busy with their phone, some are busy, or even there are those who just eat without interaction the same always with their environment.


Sometimes it occurs to them whether they choose to eat there because it is delicious or because the price is cheaper than in a restaurant or regular restaurant. In the past, when he was in high school and college, it was rarely even said that he never ate on the side of the road, because he was worried about not being hygienic. But if he now rejected his pride felt humiliated by Hasna's ridiculing smile.


“Come, let's try how it feels” said Reza


“Eh... Actually sir, do not vomit well there.. Have you ever eaten by the side of the road?” Hasna was shocked, it is not suspected Reza will yell his challenge, He remembered when Rain ate cilor Reza's expression that did not want to try the food was like fear.


“Sorry, sir want to stop here?” Agus seems unsure if Reza wants to eat at a roadside stall, so far he has never taken Reza to eat on the side of the road.


“Ya just stop” Reza immediately opened his suit and rolled his hands, he was like preparing to leave for war.


“Yakin? Watch out don't be embarrassing later there” Hasna looked at Reza sharply, she didn't want them to be the center of attention later. Highlights and Reza's different style of dress with most men will definitely attract people's attention.


Reza got out of the car with a bit of fret, Warung Pecel Lele Rizal inscribed on the Front Banner


“Pa Agus we eat together” invite Hasna from outside the window


“So I have eaten Non, there are those who give me meeting rations so immediately I eat stale worry if taken home” replied Agus while seeing Reza who came out walking towards Warung Pecel Lele.


“Hmmm seems to be selling this shop, until it is quite full of seats” Reza noticed the seats in the shop, most are people who come home from work. Some are paired and alone, some are eating some more like waiting for the order


“Pak sitting next to here” Hasna calling Reza, there are 2 empty seats.


“The body is from plastic” thought Reza while looking at the bench next to Hasna.


“You eat chicken or catfish?” ask Hasna


“This said pecel lele warung why sell chicken?” Reza is confused


“Hmm.. start deh” Hasna instantly breathe


“Ya already catfish then, want to know tempe complete well with rice uduk” Hasna record the order.


“Sayurnya any choice?” ask Reza


“Only default no cooked vegetables” said Hasna


“Wah koq is not a cooked vegetable, if raw vegetables are washed clean gak” Reza immediately scrunched his forehead. He then stood up and looked at the dishwasher and vegetables


“Ituuu.. Wash it only in bucket” cried Reza, people began to notice the two of them.


Hasna immediately wanted to embroider Reza's lips by wearing a pair of tweezers in her hand. He had expected that this one man would protest a lot.


“Have sir sat down, I said also take it or leave it” just now Hasna finished talking, Reza saw a rat go through next to the stall and into the gutter next to him.


“I take away... take away...Where are the rats from? how about going inside “ shouted Reza while pulling Hasna's hand. Everyone had noticed the two of them, Hasna immediately hid herself behind a pile of crackers so as not to be seen.


“Ya Allah.. this is a human being.. not in the office not in the street make me shy continue... Mamaaaaaa” Hasna breathed... yes already do not force, will not be able to eat as well.


“This bag is wrapped only yes.” Hasna handed the order list to the seller. The selling brother glanced towards Reza with a cynical look. Which glimpsed kalem only because busy paying attention to the direction of the got worried that there are rats out of there.


“Bapak just get in the car, let me wait” said Hasna, the next hand is still pulled by Reza, not the grip rather grips.


“I just wait here, I want to see the process of wrapping the food, worried that someone fell” he said loudly.


“What do you mean by the way, hadeuuuh make malu” Hasna it feels like to bury themselves with crackers in front of him.


“The package is divided by 2 pak” said Hasna, she does not want to bother anymore to take care of the people in front of her.


“This pack my hands offin, my clothes so damaged pulled hold same Mr” Hasna trying to release his hands.


“Let's come out later, I'm afraid the rat that came in earlier called his friends” said Reza while continuing to look at the got.


“This Mbak... next time if you are not used to eating on the roadside, do not eat here” said the seller with spicy.


“Iya Bang sorry, she eventually stayed in the country of people, local face but interlocal” behavior replied Hasna “His return was taken aja Bang, the cost of inner pressure.. “ continued Hasna.


That insinuated the plate only, and pulled Hasna out.


“Later I pay the cost of dinner this evening, I forgot to pay with cash, usually Aswin who paid if the cash” transaction must Reza immediately breathed a sigh of relief when entering in the car, it felt like I had just escaped the pinhole. He remembers watching a movie that showed a scene of rats coming out dozens of numbers from the hole, terrible if it had happened like that.


“Do not sir, replace it first did you ever invite me to eat at Mall” Hasna breathe, patience training was not only applicable to small children.


Before long the journey finally the car arrived at the cost of an Hasna, finally the bathin pressure is soon over.


“This pecel lele got Bapak” Hasna thrusting 1 plastic package to Reza.


“I will eat together with you at the boarding house, why I eat at home, later the children even eat, not necessarily hygienic food” said Reza while out of the car


“Eh... this kost an daughter Pak... men should not enter the room” Hasna directly out while carrying plastic food.


“There's a seat with him, right? Usually there is always a common room that can be used by guests to sit” Reza directly stepped into the hostel an Hasna.


“Goodnight Mas! His friend mbak Hasna yaah, can only sit in the room together well, can not enter the room” hostess and directly greet Reza. He had recognized that Reza was not a Hasna family, because several times Angga who came to deliver Hasna.


“Bapak want to eat here? But in this room there is no AC sir later sultry father again” Hasna dally-run into the hostel. Fortunately there were only 3 people who were busy chatting at the corner table, Hasna did not know them because the hostess included individuals and not too familiar.


“At least here is clean and comfortable, unlike in the stall earlier. The air is cool koq right the door is opened.. let's lend me a plate, I want to eat... where is the sink?” Reza had wanted to eat immediately, he had just seen people eating voraciously.


Hasna immediately took the plate to the room, took the plate, glass and tea bags to drink. Stored 4 pieces of fried catfish, tempeh and tofu on 1 plate and given a plate of Reza rice, the smell of rice directly smelled.


“Nasi uduk sir, processed using coconut milk so more savory” replied Hasna briefly


“Which fork spoon?” Reza is confused, she never eats without a cutlery.


“Wear hands to be more delicious” Hasna answered lazily.


“I can not eat if not use cutlery” cut Reza


“Hadeeeuuuh..other times I do not want to eat with you again…. NYUSAHIN” said Hasna while going to the room to pick up a spoon and fork.


Everywhere also eat nasi uduk, pecel catfish and sambal use hands, new taste delicious.


“This ... don't ask me for a bribe” Hasna said


“I am not Maura do not need to be bribed” replied Reza.


“Part of who wants to bribe you” Hasna breathed, he really was like he was undergoing ospek in the office.


“Hmmm this fish is weird well, I've seen catfish, but just saw clearly now, it turns out the head and body are disproportionate, the head is almost ⅓ from the body, he said, if the human means our head to the shoulder length, directly connect to the body” Reza observed catfish with a look of jelly.


Hasna smiled, in her whole life only once, there were people who noticed the catfish to such a detail, mostly directly eating and leaving the catfish head without protest.


“Why his body is soft but his head is hard like a rock well...like kamu” said Reza while stabbing the head of a catfish with a fork.


“Eh... he means” Hasna immediately stop eating.


“Hardhead” replied Reza while biting catfish.


“Hmmmm yaaa... savory meat” Reza directly devoured catfish without stopping, he just ate his fish without interspersed with rice..


“Ehh... his rice pack dmakan dong, later the fish run out but the rice is still a lot” Hasna protest.


“If you enjoy a new food, we do not mix it with other foods, so we do not know what the taste of the essence is like” replied Reza and 1 catfish was exhausted no venomous.


 “As far as ah..had been tortured bathin called like catfish Pula” thought Hasna, for a lifetime only this time there are those who equate him with catfish.


“Bapak why the hell happy torturing me?” Hasna ate slowly.


“Hmmm... This rice is also delicious, like fat rice if in Malaysia” Reza's mind is engrossed with food in front of him, as if not hearing Hasna's question.


Hasna looked at Reza, this person if you pay attention to something again was not able to divide the attention.


“It eats tempeh, the sauce is also good.Lelenya father just spend it, I eat enough 1 already often koq..”.


“Father rarely eat catfish, consider this aja like an introductory meeting party between live catfish and dead catfish”


“Father knows no difference between live catfish and dead catfish” asked Hasna while standing up


“No.. It's just about breathing or not, right?” the answer is quick, though,


“For if catfish live he can peck rich gini” Hasna directly pinched Reza's hand with a slight twist.


“Aduuuuuh arghhhh argghhhhhh.. mercy-forgiveness” Reza yells while holding his hand.


Hasna was satisfied her frustration from earlier was already vented.


“Everything does not like to insult me, has never been hit by catfish sih” Hasna laughs with satisfaction.


Reza rubbed his reddened hand on Hasna's pinch, it felt like for decades he had never been pinched, which he remembered only when he was in elementary school when there was a girl friend who liked to bother him first.


“It's almost 9 hours sir! Kasian kids will wait for Bapak” said Hasna


“So I have text Rain, he said Maura had slept, I had left the afternoon to the office because it accompanied Maura du” replied Reza.


“You don't think about Aswin, Arcy and the rest of the staff.. Later I told Aswin to tell them that I am your brother's friend, so they will not think of a variety of” Reza said after washing his hands.


“I am not torturing you, I just want to get to know you closer” he said again


“My ears are sharp Hasna” Reza smiled as she stood up, patted on Hasna's shoulder


“I go home first, you have a good rest. Yesterday the trip home from Bandung must still lack sleep..Tomorrow tell Arya that I am your brother's friend, I did not lie, yesterday we have been friends with well” said Reza while walking out.


Hasna escorted Reza out until she saw her car drive away. Too many people know their unclear relationship, friends in Bandung and today some people in the office. Whether the news like what is spread tomorrow, Hasna remembered that Prita likes to gossip. Perhaps it was time He asked the Almighty what his destiny was in the future, what he should be like to respond to Reza's request, because if he asks himself he has absolutely no picture of his feelings for the man.


After the completion of the Isha prayer, Hasna then performed the Istikharah prayer, with full determination he pleaded with the Almighty to give him a hint of the best choice he had to take, to bring it to good in the future.


It turns out that by praying Istikharah his heart feels calm, whatever guidance God gives him, he will receive with airy chest as destiny in his life.


At dawn, Hasna woke up quickly, she felt pulled by the sound of the work, from the dream she was experiencing. Huffttt what this dream is, koq feels like being in a different time with him now. Hasna sat pensively, and then she remembered whether this was one of his instructions…. The dream felt very real..


That dream……
