His hands were already full of groceries stored in plastic bags. While carrying groceries, the Redmi 9T phone is fixed to the ear.

["Mama and grandma are going to go there"] he said, biting the bread he bought at one of the bakeries. Walk sideways among the human crowd so that he does not bump into others.

["Words come too!"] the tree from across.

Yesterday mama called, she said Agus would be graduating in a few weeks.

["Later ask your brother-in-law first. If she gives permission, Tata goes with mom and grandma."]

["I hope Tata comes. If you can take your brother-in-law once."]

["Yes, if he wants to come."] Just sound like his voice. Suddenly wept tears, sebak, but not spilled, when remembering his sister who was that. Their quarrel at that time had awakened Agus, turning him into more mature. There is wisdom behind everything.

While being preoccupied with calling, Mariana did not realize someone was walking hastily from the front.

Bugcahs! Prak!

Their bodies collide. A chicken egg dropped just below Mariana's feet. The girl was shocked, as well as the person who hit her.

"Sorry, Tanta!"

Guilt visited his feelings when he saw not a single egg that survived when he fell earlier. The groceries were immediately placed roughly on the asphalt floor. Then his hand was quick to pick up all the belongings of the woman sitting in her arms in front of him.

"Sorry, Tanta!" His voice was almost inaudible. His head did not dare to be lifted, even just to see the face of the woman in front of him. He cursed himself for being too careless. "Ai, stupid me. The phone's preoccupation is not seeing left right" he said, hitting his head.

The woman smiled. While stroking the top of Mariana's head, he said, "What's wrong, son. Next time be careful!"

Clear pearls that have been held in the eye pelupuk, divorce also when hearing the soft voice of the egg owner.

"Sorry, Tanta!" the tree repeatedly. "It's all broken. I'm changing, huh?"

The woman shook her head. "No need!" Mariana helped her put all the damaged eggs into a plastic bag.

"Although this is already inedible, but, it is still useful for pigs at home." Tanta is smiling. Then Mariana sat down on a ceper stone near them. Mariana raised her head. His heart was jolted as they looked at him.

His brain ligat thought. Looking for answers where he met the woman. He was sure that they had met, but where, he did not know. However, the woman's voice and eyes seemed familiar to her.

'His face looks like someone's, ' Mariana's inner.

"Madriana."

"Beauty your name, like the man." Mariana blushed in shame.

"Tanta is beautiful too" praised Mariana. Sincerest.

"Tanta is old. Not beautiful anymore."

Mariana shook her head. "That's not true" he denied.

"Eh, Tanta hasn't introduced himself, has he?" Mariana nodded. They laugh.

"Name Tanta, May." Tanta Mei introduced herself.

"Where do the tanta live?"

"Not far from here. Go, go!" take Tanta Mei.

Mariana according. Mariana helps Tanta Mei carry a little of her stuff. They broke through the crowd around, heading for the highway.

"Well angkot?" mariana asked as they reached the highway.

"We're just walking. Tanta's house is close by."

While walking, they chatted empty. Mariana tells the story of herself who used to work at a nightclub, also about her who just got married two months ago. The family also did not forget to tell. Tanta Mei also tells the story of her being separated from her husband and children decades ago. They were immediately familiar, although not until half an hour they met.

"This is Tanta's house." It turns out that their footsteps have arrived at the destination. A simple house half wall, half board. Just like Mariana's house in Larantuka.

Tanta Mei took the key from inside the bag propped on her shoulder and opened the door of her house. "Let's go in!" take Tanta Mei.

Although the house of Tanta Mei looks simple, but, the arrangement of furniture in the house is neatly arranged. Looks very clean and neat.

"Yes, Tanta" answered Mariana.

"What do you want to drink?"

"No need to bother, Tanta. Water is okay."

Tanta Mei stared at Mariana's goal, smiling. "Do you want Tanta to eat?"

That afternoon, at home that looks simple sound laughter two women who are like mother and child. Emanated happiness that enveloped the heart, which had long been struck by aridity.
