My name is Maira

- Time of Introduction -

***

The next day rumi and dimas returned the kiki motor, but we were still sleeping, so the one who received aunt Rosa, the bundle of nia.

The sun was already high enough when I opened my eyes, as soon as I saw the clock, it turned out to be ten in the morning, I got straight out of bed.

I saw nia and Kiki still sleeping.

I walked slowly from the bed, and tiptoed towards the exit.

As I descended to the first floor, auntie rosa looked busy in her little garden.

I didn't want to bother him so I headed straight for the kitchen, to look for food.

"Aunty's morning", I said as I watched aunt Rosa walk towards the kitchen.

"It's a mother's daughter" said aunt rosa friendly.

"What time were you last night" asked aunt Rosa again, putting scissors on the dinner table.

"he hehe, two o'clock aunt", I replied with a big smile.

"Nakal ya early in the morning just came home" he said while pinching my cheek.

"Om where auntie" I asked.

"Om already left for Jakarta this morning" replied aunt Rosa who had been sitting sweetly at the dinner table.

I also got clumsy when auntie rosa just looked at me, with a smile and twinkle in her eyes.

"Why aunty, look so happy" I asked, trying to spread the gaze of aunty rosa.

"So which one is your boyfriend, of the two guys who last night went to your same bosche" asked aunt rosa, without pause.

I immediately choked, then auntie rosa asked me to slowly eat her, and gave me milk to drink.

"Tanteen, that same rumi dimas, kiki temen also really" I replied when I managed to control myself.

"Boyfriend is also not papa kok" said aunt rosa teasing me.

Aunt Rosa then left me alone at the dinner table, without me being able to explain any further.

But I let it go, after all, aunt Rosa also likes to joke, I thought.

Aunty Rosa is a very warm figure, she always wants to know the things that are happening in our lives.

We're her son here, and we're her best friends.

Aunty Rosa also always opens the door of her house wide for me, kiki, rani and mia.

Not infrequently aunt Rosa also advises us, when we make mistakes, or just ask us to be a good child.

Aunty Rosa and om rusman always emphasize, that nia's friends are as valuable as nia to them.

Nia's house always feels warm for me personally, because auntie rosa is always friendly and kind to us.

Aunty Rosa is a woman in her early forty years who is still very beautiful and well-groomed.

While om rusman, he always said that he was lucky, because aunt rosa would accept it.

They also always ask nia to be open, naughty no matter the origin there is a limit.

I think they are a very compatible couple, because both are very young at heart.

Nia is their only child.

Nia's house was always our place to stay, when we came home at night.

Maybe because auntie rosa never judged us, when we just wanted to have fun, so we were always comfortable to go home, once our curfew was over.

Of course nia's parents always advised us, if on the streets it was very dangerous at night.

Almost every weekend, rusman goes home to spend time with nia and aunt rosa.

So often we prefer to meet at home nia, if you want to do schoolwork, or just play on the weekend.*

Aunt Rosa came down from the second floor with nia and kiki who were still sleepy, they then immediately had breakfast with me.

"Your BB ra from earlier continues to sound" said kiki while handing over my Blackberry.

Alan's surname called me several times.

As soon as I called back, it turned out that alan only asked to buy a cake at his subscription place.

"What time we're back", I asked as I returned to the dinner table, after calling alan's brother.

"Oh yes", replied kiki.

"Let's stop by Amanda" I asked.

"Kat alan ya's deposit", asked nia.

I nodded and resumed my breakfast.

After Saturday night, dimas often gave me messages, just short messages.

Sometimes I reply directly, but often I forget because of my busyness in campus.

Today's lecture schedule is at seven in the morning, after class is finished, ayu and dita choose to join me in the library, to do the task.

As soon as I saw the clock was showing at ten, I tidied up my books and prepared to go home.

"I go home first, say", I say to ayu and dita.

"Udah is done indeed", asked ayu.

"Udah, I want to see", I replied, handing my paper to ayu.

Ayu just shook her head, I put the book, and the paper that scattered mine into the bag, then moved on, and left the library.

"Maira", said a voice behind me as I descended from the library stairs.

"Oh, hi", I said.

It turned out to be dimas, but why was dimas in my college.

I didn't want to be too curious, so I ignored him, maybe he had a need.

"Out of nugas", asked dimas.

Dimas just smiled and explained, if he had just run a business with his friend on this campus, to discuss the activities of nature lovers students or more briefly mapala.

"You're active on mapala", I was a bit surprised.

"Active is not, but I am part of Mapala UPB", he replied.

"Oh, yeaudah I walk ya", I say goodbye to dimas.

"There's no class anymore" dimas asked.

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, but I want to go home" I replied.

"Oh yes, want to go to the ambarukmo no", invite dim without stale bases.

"No ah, what to do" I replied.

"Watch on" said dimas.

I simply replied with a smile, and paid my way to the parking lot, but it turned out to follow me from behind.

"Then it will be the same evening of dinner as I did", said dimas again, and he was already standing in front of me, blocking my path.

"Or we coffee" pinta dimas.

"I don't like dimas coffee, I want to eat where I try" I replied without enthusiasm.

"Eating the offer of people should not be rejected continuously" he said.

"I can't go home too late on a normal day" I said.

"What time of night" asked dimas.

"Nine nights should be at home" I replied.

"OK" dimas said, then he disappeared from my sight.

When I got home, I decided to use social media.

I tweet more often with my friends.

Often we reply to each other joke crisp but ends funny.

To the extent that I did not feel asleep with Blackberry still in my hands, understandably had to wake up at six in the morning today, because the class began at seven in the morning.

"Ra woke up" said the mother who was already on the edge of my bed, and tried to wake me up.

"Eat first, it's two in the afternoon" said the mother.

"Still sleepy ma'am", I replied, with eyes still closed.

"Let's eat first, later in college" said the mother again.

With my eyes still heavy, I finally woke up, and my mother grabbed me towards the kitchen.

While eating I saw a message from ayu, ayu said that there was an announcement of a digital economy lecture at three empty afternoon.

"The lecture is empty, this run out can not sleep anymore", asked the mother who was reading a magazine in the middle room.

"Don't dong ra, sleep continues", replied the mother with a tone of objection.

"Help my mother to clean up at my grandmother's house" said the mother.

"Bak let's go where ma'am" I asked again.

Ma'am is a housekeeper grandmother, she has worked at home for a long time grandmother, maybe already from me in elementary school, mbak imah has worked at home grandmother.

"Yes mbak imah there, but if the more who help the faster the completion" said the mother.

I also agreed to mother's request, and finished my lunch.

I helped my mother tidy up my grandmother's house until five in the afternoon.

After all, I remembered that I left my Blackberry at home.

"Bu Rara take a cellphone first at home" I said, because I accidentally left my Blackberry at home.

"Go back, yes" cried my mother as I exited my grandmother's house.

When I came out of my grandmother's house, I saw ayu and bowo standing in front of my fence.

"Noh no ngabarin" I said as I walked towards them.

"You're me telvonin back and forth not in lift" said ayu with a face look annoyed.

"What's wrong, it's empty lecture hours" I replied casually.

"Bu merlin was three in the afternoon telvon to the bowo, if he had time at six in the afternoon to be interviewed" said ayu explained, although still with a slightly upset tone.

"Oh, that urban economic task yes", I asked in surprise.

"Yaudah I get ready first" I said again to ayu and bowo.

"You come in" I asked ayu and bowo.

Ayu and bowo followed me from behind.

In a hurry I immediately changed clothes, and called grandma's house, to leave because I had to do an impromptu task.

Ayu was in a row with bowo, I brought my own bike.

Because the distance from the house of the marlin bu is a bit far, so we speed a little.

Bu merlin's house is near the cavean market, a journey of approximately 45 minutes from my house, with a speed of 50 to 60 km/h.

Arriving at Merlin's house, she was already there, just in case we were late, so she came first.

Ms. Merlin is an economist who often wara-wiri in local newspapers in Jogja.

We have a task to make a paper on economic problems in the region, so we need to interview experts.

It's quite difficult to get an interview schedule from Ms. Merlin, so when there's a chance, we have to take it straight away.

According to Dita, she said merlin could only be interviewed in thirty minutes.

We also wait in the living room of Merlin's house, after being invited to enter.

I remembered that I had an appointment with dimas, I immediately sent a message to dimas, if I apologized, for having to cancel the appointment with him.
