My Sacrifice for Mother

Old Friend

"Yes the cave squirming your face that's sad you sir. Ohhaha."

"Aren't you satisfied with me today?"

"Satisfied anyway. xixiixixixixixi."

Ghanes replied gigglingly.

"Akhhhh finally nyampek also cave to this place." Ghanes subconsciously leaned his head against Danu's back.

"Why? Ask danu.

Ghanes looked up at the sky from behind the thatched roof above the hall with his head still resting on Danu's back, "As you know, the cave wanted to go to this place that long ago, long time ago, from the past really even, but because of the constraints of domicile, a cave that is rarely at home, yes finally only now dech deliverability, equally you too. Human beings are too weak to be Indonesian."

"Originally you are happy, I am also happy, though tired of being half dead. I swear I've only been driving alone for the first time so far in one day."

Ghanes jumped in shock, realizing that his head was still there, on Danu's back,

"Huh??? Seriously sir?" Her question pretended to be shocked by Danu's statement just now.

"What do I look like I'm lying to?"

"Ga anyway. Hehhehe."

"Well, eat first, what do we want to eat?" Ask Danu when there are shop workers who ask them what pesen they want.

"Debak burn, ga pedes but, pedesnya in sambel aja, do not in seasoning olesnya. Can you please mbak?" Ghanes answered asking a question to mbak mbak who was quite young in front of him.

The yellow-clothed mbak nodded, "Can mbak, can be really even. What pesen ? the same or?"

"I'm normal mbak, pedes ga papa. Drinking iced oranges is the same as orange anget, right buk? You can't have ice, can you?!" Danu asked turned to Ghanes beside her.

"Yes mbak, I'm anget orange."

"Okay, the order's been waiting for a while, ain't long."

Then he walked away.

Ghanes looked at Danu with a question mark, "Eh how do you know if the cave can not drink ice Dan?"

Danu smiled enigmaticly, "yes you know, I know a little about you, who can't eat chili, who can't drink ice, who judas, but pinter."

"Who said the pinter cave?"

"There's dech. Just you here, all I know is, and that's right, isn't it?"

"Well, there's one more thing that hasn't been, and this is probably more important than that." Ghanes said he began to look far away, again remembering that he was actually not a really healthy person as seen on the outside.

Danu stared fixedly at the face of Ghanes who began to daydream,

"What?"

"Gua can't eat or drink hot food and drink."

"Well? I was even pesenin you orange anget, how about? How did you agree ?" Danu started to panic.

"So it's an angel Danu, not hot. Do you know the difference? "

"Oh, so what can't be that hot huh ?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I think almost everyone can't eat and drink hot if they don't want their tongues to blister."

Danu said denial is like disbelief.

"Lo don't make the cave rise blood yes, this is different from the heat in your brain. Tollil."

Danu rubbed Ghanes' head gently,"OK deh okay, don't get angry donk.... The food comes first, eat first."

Ghanes was silent for a moment, because he did not like to say out loud or argue in front of food, because he thought it would eliminate the blessing of the food, whether this was true or not. Considering he used to be a child born from a partner who is all-starved, must multiply fasting to save food, even white rice is a gem in his family.

Dam when grown up Ghanes became a person who greatly appreciated food.

Do not like to waste food or say ugly when dealing with food in front of him.

Remembering first how his coworkers (before he went abroad to become a TKI), were very afraid of him when they had to throw away food that they could not spend, he said, they must hide from Ghanes when they throw away their food if they do not want to maki-maki Ghanes with a mouth super judasnya it.

Once a friend named Yani to cry because he snapped Ghanes when throwing white rice only in half, because according to Ghanes better give food to people who are deficient than throw it away, as long as the food is still very worth eating (not the leftovers in the teasing). Because his friends Ghanes at that time many who became a boarding child with the cost of living is very fitting. And they would be very happy if they could skimp on their living expenses.

The two of them ate without saying much anymore, because indeed the worms in their stomachs were waiting from morning.

After swallowing his last bribe, Ghanes opened his voice, "Btw, tomorrow the cave will go to your district and it looks like."

"Why what?" Danu asked, looking into Ghanes's eyes.

"You returned Nathan's clothes, and played to his house i'ik."

"Ohhh, yes, who's going there?"

"Be alone, Candra works."

"Well, tomorrow's the usual rush hour."

"What time do you leave?"

"Usually the cave actually likes early in the morning after dawn, because the streets are still quiet, only if the heat must queue on the streets because it is jammed. Make nutmeg dizzy."

"Ayookk....... " Suddenly Ghanes was standing in his way.

"Hehhehehe yes. Sitting up, how to take care."

"Tolyl base. Or just go home?" Ask Ghanes ambiguously.

"Ga, we play first, already sampek here, cook just eat doank and then go home anyway, if only want to eat ducks mah not to come here also donk. Come on." Come on."

Danu replied, then reflexively grabbed Ghanes' hand.

Ghanes glanced at the fleeting fingers of his hand that Danu held, with no expression but allowed his hand to remain in Danu's grasp, he wanted to know how Danu would react when he regained his hand without being aware of it in such a position.

They walked together along the edge of the beach with clean white sand. If in view from a distance they are both like people who are kasmaran, when maybe if asked they are a couple clapping one hand, because only Danu has a taste with Ghanes, but only Danu has a taste with Ghanes, whereas Ghanes himself died like the cold lava vomit from a volcano, cold outside but storing deadly heat inside.

"Eh later not long yes, my house is far lo." Danu said as she pulled her hand from grasping Ghanes' hand.

"Upsss. sorry sorry." He said with a dead red face withstanding embarrassment.

"Basic, you were intentional, want to find an opportunity in narrowness, ask your style." Ghanes said.

"Oath no purpose, lha you why also dutiful, do not want ngingetin?"

"Heleh, do not try to find out the fault of people deh, the cave was not willing to talk because you want to know your reaction, you realize or do not hold the hand of the cave, the cave was deliberately not willing to talk because you want to know your reaction, or even the pleasure of feeling the fresh wind."

"Yes I'm wrong, but don't be angry, next time it's not dech." Said danu pensively chasing after Ghanes who was walking very fast in front of him.

Ghanes is not angry and runs away like other teenagers who easily lash and run, then run, but because Ghanes is accustomed to the way people walk in Country T that he had lived for 6 years more. How to walk so fast as people want to mourn, because they pursue time is very much different from the way walking a gentle and very relaxed Indonesian, who is very relaxed, in the country they walk like not afraid to fall into a hole in the sidewalk, often even looks like the way people want to go to the cemetery.

But yes that is despite developed countries, high work ethic, but the population has a high level of stress as well. Do not be surprised if people from developed countries are diligent in saving just for a trip abroad, yes because they feel their life is too stressful, too, so they need to have fun at least before they die.

In the midst of the fun of Ghanes and Danu enjoying the atmosphere of the beach, suddenly Ghanes mobile phone vibrates. There's an incoming call in the messenger.

"Sheif?" Ghanes scrunched his forehead .

Syaif Ahmad is an old friend of Ghanes who he knew 5 years ago. But at that time they were not so close, because they both had a partner. Of course country T introduced them. Now they are together in Indonesia. But Ghanes, whose life was in trouble, Ghanes did not even remember that he had a friend named Syaif.

"Yes If? What's up?" Ask Ghanes to the point when raising her messenger call.

"Gosh,,, you still haven't changed, grandma, to the point really, can't base a little bit of what?Haha." - Hahahaha."

"Yes, this cave is how people from the past, want to change into what? So iron man?"

"What's wrong?" Ghanes repeated his question.

"There is, want some news, he said symbok you have come home but how is no news at all?"

"Ngabarin who? You know?" Tanya Ghanes glared.

"Who is the cave, who else."

"Well, who are you? Boyfriends aren't husbands."

"It's a future Grandma. Hahaha.... Lu it's the buzz from the past yes, ga ngeh also ampe now if the cave wait."

Ghanes was surprised not to play and half did not understand the direction of Syaif's conversation. Ghanes remembered how he used to actually store a little taste in Syaif, but because of that time he and Syaif both had a partner, so Ghanes himself tried to brush off a little taste that began to grow slowly.

"Why diem?" Ask Syaif.

"Eh ga . later call again yes, the cave is playing now, do not disturb the cave preoccupation."

"Yes, send WA if that's it."

"Every sir, yes bye bye."

Ghanes instantly turned off his cell phone call, inexplicably confused, unexpressed taste. Sick, or I don't know.

He used to try not to fall in love with others, trying to survive and be loyal to the person who turned out to be hoarding the most hurt wounds for him.

And now he is again hurt and humiliated when he starts to build trust with humans.

What's wrong with her?

"Does God really want to slap me?" Gummed Ghanes while pocketing his phone again after he wrote down the 12-digit mobile number and sent it to Syaif Ahmad's contact.

"Why?"Danu asked with a worried face.

"Eh, Ga. There's nothing. My old friend."

"Oh, yes, you don't have to, you don't have to."

Ghanes just smiles at Danu's attention to him, somehow Ghanes is completely untouched by it all, in vain Ghanes tried to make Danu kapok ngajak him play, so that Danu stay away from him, Danu, but it all turned out to be in vain.

"Just go home."

Whine Ghanes instantly when he felt his mood suddenly just like that.

"Now?" tanya Danus looked at the clock on her left wrist.

Ghanes was limp, his countenance had changed, "Yes, bosen cave Dan, want to sleep a cave."

With a gentle smile Danu rubbed Ghanes' head very gently, she knew the change in Ghanes' attitude and facial features that suddenly showed that she was not doing well,

"Okay, okay, I understand, yes already if you want to sleep, we go home now, the sun is still there, so later I go home also not lazy."

"Yes, it's okay." Continue Danu from the top of the motorcycle on Ghanes which is still stupefied in place.

Ghanes was surprised from his daydreams,

"Eh ! When did you get the bike?" Ask Ghanes with a confused face to see that Danu is already in front of him again with a motorbike, even though the distance they sit with a parking lot is good if by foot.

"By teleportation."Danu replies because Danu knows that Ghanes' brain is out of focus.

"Well, come on, so go home? Or am I staying?" Danu asked teasingly.

"Ikuttt.....!!!.It's good to be left behind." Shouted Ghanes instantly jumped into the back seat of the motor.

"Hahhahhhaaha nahh gitu donk, nurut. Hehhehehe." Danu chuckled happily.

Ghanes did not say, he just kept quiet and without realizing it he hugged Danu very tightly from behind.

Danu smiled a smile all the way without trying to let go of Ghanes' embrace.

"This is all right by the house, hehehhehee." His mind with a smile as wide as a lake Toba while occasionally looking towards his stomach covered with a jacket, because there were both hands Ghanes who hugged him very tightly.

A lonely trip home, without any conversation between the two. Danu who enjoys her own pleasure because she is embraced by her heart, and Ghanes who disappears in her dreamland. An uninhabited empty realm. Sepi , not dark nor light. There was no air, floating in the hole of the atomic hole around it. Fly without wings, without falling or flying. Struggling with no purpose. He disappeared from the real world. Death is a taste that many humans crave.

..............................

Into the next day,

Ghanes was getting ready to go to T district to deliver his clothes Nathan is still stored in his wardrobe, and if there is still time, maybe he will stop by his house i'ik for a while because he has not talked to his friend this one, also maybe he will visit for a moment Rahma's house.

After bidding farewell to his mother, Ghanes soon spurred his maroon cat-eye Jupiter into the city streets. By wearing a SNI helmet in the same color as his cat's eyes, equipped with a creamy gray goretex jacket black jeans and sneakers in red, Ghanes was quite excited to go to T district.

He said slowly from the top of the motor that drove on the black asphalt that had just been repaired.

"It has to be !" Speaks excited.

The road that has been very often in the past does not make it difficult to meandering around every corner. But the same as not causing boredom to pass through it.

Our journey skip yes 😛

Arriving at his stall Anggi, looks pretty quiet, he said,

Ghanes had not had time to park his bike there was Mas Priyanto who approached him with a big smile, "Loohhh Mbak Anes, Mr Nathan where mbak?"

Ghanes laughed, "Huhahah how is Mr Pri ? Nathan ya at his donk house, cook the same I keep?"

"Ohhh yes also , this was from home to?"

"Yes sir, Tumben sir deserted? Mr Anggi ain't there ?"

"There are in the dalem, same with her." Mas Pri explained.

Ghanes then grabbed a paperbag hooked to the neck of his duck bike, "Oh yes sir, I was here, just wanted nitipin Nathan's stuff, all right, tell him if he comes here sometime, because I need to sir."

"Who? Why did Nathan go there?"

"Kasian sir, distance. And here I am also in a hurry, no time to go there. Please leave it here, sir. I talked to Nathan, sir."

Priyanto received a brown cardboard box inside a white paperbag inscribed with a brand clothes H&M. Paperbag is cool, let's guess a gift. Hehheehee.

"Okay, does that mean anything? I don't have to say anymore, do I have a deposit?"

"Ga need to sir, Nathan already knows. Thank you sir."

"OK, okay no need to hesitate so, sometime if there is time we play together again yeah."

Ghanes smiled, "Ohh ready sir ready."

"Thank you, Mr. Pri, if that's what I say sir, if there's time I come here again."

Ghanes said as he waved his hand and immediately turned back his motor.

"Yes, be careful on the road. Aaaaaa...."

"It looks like there's something fishy about Anes's face, they're probably not getting married, are they?!" Inner Priyanto looked at Ghanes' slightly suspicious movements.

From inside the house came Anggi's voice, "Who is Mr Pri?"

"Yes." Answer's short.

"Anes's Nathan's candidate?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"What's wrong, how come you have something stuck up so sir?" Anggi asked curious about Priyanto's facial features that seemed to want to hide something.

"Akh, there's no Nggi, only I feel strange to see Anes, the look on his face looks very pale, withered, his eyes there are dark circles that indicate he lacks rest, and his movements are strange like people who are thinking a lot of that."

Anggi scrunched his forehead, "Don't tell Ghanes positive huh?"

Priyanto shook his head, "Akkhh ga tau gua Nggi, cook Anes pregnant anyway, it doesn't seem that dech."

Anggi clasped his hands, "Haiisshhh why are we the ones who are interested in their business anyway? Actually, Anes doesn't really fit Nathan Lo too well, I think.."

"Lohh why not? How could that be?"

"Anes was the one who was secretly so but I was sure that she was a very intelligent woman, she said, judging from his simple appearance and always talking right according to the portion where and with whom he himself discussion. He is also very independent and mature in my opinion. Nathannya himself is still a child with a mindset that still likes to play games and likes to boast of himself in front of people. I think characters like this don't fit in anyway."

Priyanto immediately laughed out loud when he heard the explanation from Anggi, a friend who was also the boss.

"Something seems to be secretly watching Anes? Have you moved on from Maya???" Her question was full of probing while squinting her eyes.

His face is red, "Akh, not about moving on or not moving on, but if you pay attention it is. Inget ga new year time yesterday, even Nathan was not at all invited him to take a break to eat lo, Nathan it I think is a bit childish. I swear."

"Eh seriously Nggi? When?"

"That's when we turn to the mushola for a prayer break. Inglet?"

Priyanto glared at trying to remember the events of the day, "oh, yes yes yes,, inget sget. Continues to?"

"Well, right abis prayer that we rest awhile, sit around right, I keep seeing Anes tuh kaya restless that, a few times burp, but he's like very depressed that lo after burp. As far as I know, the person who belawa that if it's not a fullness it means he is suffering from stomach acid that is starving."

"Continue?" Priyanto listened carefully.

"Keep me asking donk, Nes, why? The laper? Want to eat first or fill the stomach with what? Meatballs want?"

"She was just silent and then shook her head slowly and then suddenly her eyes were glassy to doubt, Duh kasian actually she swore. If it wasn't Nathan then I hugged him . Cassian. Maybe he's sad because the one who noticed he wasn't Nathan was someone else."

Priyanto looked up, "Sampek the whole thing huh? So what's Nathan's response?"

"Smuck the cigarette, he just said gini, "Let's just say sir Nggi, he if the laper let's talk to himself."

"If I'm not really about laper or ga, but if he really has Magh's disease, Nathan should have the initiative donk to be his protector he, men cook so attitude towards women."

Anggi still melted his story with a tone full of aggravation.

"Yes also Nggi, remember you used to be with Maya just so much attention, still cheating really."

"Yes, so the man must dare to be responsible for the woman donk, cook just want to sennag-happy."

"Akh, come on, the cave wants to talk to Nathan first if the goods have reached my hands, when he wants to take it here."

..........................

We're moving to Ghanes who's hanging out at the gas station's mushola filling up his ammo . He was engrossed in playing his white posel without paying any attention to his surroundings at all. Which turns out both ears have been clogged with a small circle of black color with a superbass brand from Sony.

Is he listening to music? Nnnnope.

But he was busy receiving a call from Syaif Ahmad.

"20 minutes more by now, the cave is still in the chicken coop, still stirring feed. But if you want to leave now you can too. It'll be right there."

"Yes, don't you know google map sir, how the hell?"

"OK ok if that is so, find a motorbike care, ntar gau to your place, but have to wait 1 hour ya."

"Yes, you dech."

"Yes, yes tungguin cave anyway do not go home first. Ga kangen ma what cave?"

"Where are you? People dating never, where can have a sense of kangen? There-there's a you."

"yes, yes, we'll talk a lot anyway."

Tuuuuuuuuuttttttttttt tttuuuuuuuttttt..........

"Well******, suddenly be killed so without any talk. Not polite to people."

Gerrutu Ghanes looked at the voice of his cellphone that had been extinguished because Syaif just turned it off.

Suddenly something came up from behind, "Mbak, Crazy Ma'am?"

Ghanes turned to the source of the voice, "Dih what the hell Mas, just rest as a person, you singles." Ghanes replied fiercely.

"Ngatain single cave, if the nikahin cave mampus lo ntar." Mas Mas Mas replied that it was no less fierce.

"Dihh ogah." Ghanes answered turning his body back to the mas mas mas that was.

From behind , mas mas was still asking the question, "Where to go mbak? How alone?"

"Repo!"Java Ghanes without turning his head at all and began to open his favorite 8 ball poll game application.

..............

Ghanes is still engrossed in the games on his phone, not caring about his surroundings. Even he did not care if his presence had been noticed by many people who stopped by the mosque to just urinate.

All of a sudden..

"Share's lok."✔✔

"Upss,,, yahhh lost in the cave, Syaif resex !" Umpatnya then resentfully opened the WA chat from Syaif and he also shared his location now.

"Duhhh resex tuh Syaif, again fun to play the cave screen even to disturb the notification, so lose the cave, anjiirrrrr..."

Umpatnya with annoyed then back to play 8 ball poll and looking for a new opponent, because the opponent who was of course already won because Ghanes out suddenly from the match.

"Awas ajau lu ntar, if the cave play in disturbed again."

Ghanes returned to play the game after she shared her location with Syaif.

Not until 10 minutes, suddenly there was a man wearing black shorts and wearing green swimow flip-flops standing right in front of him. Ghanes was so cute that he didn't even care.

Suddenly,

Kkkkkkk.....!!!! His forehead was in the center of people quite loudly.

"But !! ****** !!! Who the hell is fussy?! Just now almost won, lost again cave!" Ghanes raised his head to see which human dared to interfere with his game again.

Ghanes had his face turned red when he found out that the one in front of him was Syaif Ahmad. A man who once stopped in the corner of his heart even though it was only a few seconds.

"Eh !! You If?!" Ghanes cengegesan.

Shayf laughed out loud when he saw the expression on his face Ghanes, "Hahhahaaaaaa gosh neekkk, you have not changed yes since the time we knew. Still a little bit of a joke."

"Bajetan, the cave lost again njiirr, ngagetin mulu anyway."

"Some of you play mobile phones even to do not know who is near you, Lu it if outside the house alone mbok carefully, look around you too, Lu, don't challenge your brave and become careless."

"Yes yes, calm down the ears of the cave is listening to this tausiyah is still very good really." Ghanes replied still indifferently.

"Oh my goodness, give me your hand. Serah elu dah . Lu that if people are noticed like that because, Lu also never realized if all this time the cave is waiting for you to go home?"

Ask Syaif full of questions.

"Emang doesn't know. Anyway if you like why didn't you break up with your girlfriend?"

"Wouldn't our positions be the same, right, back then? At that time you also want the cave to tell your girlfriend to killusin?"

CEP !

Ghanes instantly fell silent without responding to anything.

Syaif rubbed the top of his head Ghanes softly, "Yes already, which has been no longer discussed, the point is now we are both here, so play ga ?"

"Be ! crazy if it doesn't happen?"

"Yes already, later your motorbike, lu titipin tuh in front there is the care of the motor tuh, ntar new afternoon is taken. Than you play tired of motorbike nyetri alone right."

"Okay, that's easy."

Ghanes answered without expression because as a woman, in the depths of her heart was filled with worry that if Syaif could not be trusted, lest he did not deliver it on time, then the history was finished.

Although they knew him for a long time, they also did not meet with a long time as well. So people can change at any time, right?
