Arriving at Jakarta airport, Panca and I entered a car and drove at medium speed.
"Hem.... It's busy like that. Who else is the same chat?" Panca leaned her head peeking at the contents of the message I typed on my phone screen.
"Just be sure." I turned around to touch him.
"Hm...."
~~
(On arrival at Panca's house)
"Ma, pa! Panca is back." Panca put the bag on the sofa while running around looking for the whereabouts of her parents.
"Our little boy, Panca." A woman came out of a room and approached.
"Ma, remember who this is?" panca asked after kissing the back of her hand.
My mom just squinted her eyes. Trying to guess and remember who the beautiful woman in front of him was.
"Na-ta-sia Nou-ban, Kezia's son?" her cheers.
"Yes, aunt. It's Nat."
"Oh God.... You are more beautiful, my dear. Auntie doesn't recognize you. How are you, son?" she hugged the tomboy girl.
"I'm good news, aunt."
"Sit down, come on."
I sat on the couch wailing looking for Panca's papa.
"Om where's aunt?"
"Yes, ma. Where's papa?" sahut Panca while enjoying the citrus fruits at the table.
"Papa's still in the office, working. He said there was overtime."

My body feels tired. I also lay in the room that my cousin had provided.
With a fun phone I stared at while typing a few messages from a man who made me smile at myself.
"I lived in my cousin's house back then, baby. There's auntie same om too. Bla...,"
"Well, it's night. I'm sleeping, I'll see you there tomorrow."

(Sunday)
"Aunty's morning," I said.
I look like I'm busy cooking in the kitchen. I went to her and helped her cook.
Not long after, breakfast time arrived.
"Tante, Nat's friend will be here. Can't you auntie?"
"Well, let's dong Nat."
Ting tong's.....
The housekeeper who works at Panca's house immediately opened the door.
"Non Nat, there's a real deal."
"Yes bi. Thanks to ya."
I walked to the door and I saw the bule man smiling as soon as I saw him.
I took her inside and met her aunt and aunt.
That morning, Panca was out first because of business.
"Auntie, um. I'll take Nat out, can't I?"
"Yes, please. But remember the time, Han boy." Om Jaya patted Han on the shoulder.
Hearing permission from om and aunt, Han also took me out.
\*\*\*
Degs....
Degs....
When he was about to leave the house, Panca looked at me closely when he passed in front of the house.
I felt something hit me. It was as if a small storm was facing me, until I felt faint.
"Darling, aren't you pa pa?" Han stroked the back of my hand.
KreKKkkkk.
Han opened the door and asked me to enter the house.
"Here, your house, baby?" I looked around.
"Yes dear."
"Where are your parents?"
"Dady's momy's back abroad."
"So.... When are they back?"
"Say, they were waiting for me to finish college, so I took them there."
"Oh, that's it."
Han brought the duo a bottle of cold drink then gave one to me. We sat on the sofa watching the television broadcast.
It might be a coincidence or how, suddenly the tv show aired a vulgar scene that made my heart really pound very fast.
I became misbehaved. As for Han, he seemed to be enjoying the show.
"You try dong. Can't you?"
For some reason, Han always asked permission for something he wanted to do to me, so I became embarrassed to answer.
This time, I refused his request.
\*\*
"Darling, tonight is Sunday night, you're staying at my house, won't you?"
"Hmmmmm. But I'll let you get auntie, om first."
"Could have been obtained. My man was allowed to be the same."
Turns out, Han had the same permission om and aunt when I he came to the house and at that time I went back to the room for a while, so I did not know at all.
\*\*\*
"Ma, Nat hasn't come home yet?" Panca looks agitated.
"She's staying at her boyfriend Pan's house. Why the hell, so nervous, mama look."
"Seriously ma?"
The mother who was busy enjoying a snack while watching tv was staring at the child.
"Look, Han is a good boy. You don't have to worry."
\*\*
("How did Panca's mother know that Han was a good boy?" netijen scrunched up a confused eyebrow.)
("Because of that Han, Panca's close friend at Junior High. It's only natural that his mother knew."
("In that case, why is Panca nervous?")
