My Sacrifice is worthless

Know you

Hearing Lia's explanation, I felt that there was nothing for me to worry about because me and Gio were just ordinary friends.

"It's okay, Lia, it's their right. After all, Gio and I are just ordinary friends" I replied.

"What is the cement? Yeah you can say that, we don't know Gio and the people who look, Ta?" lia.

"Duh, talking to you for a long time can catch my baby. Let's go get me going?"

"No, you are. I don't want to be a mosquito repellent. I'll wait at the nice house, will I?"

"That's your fucking smile. Ah, I went to the afternoon first. Bye..," my pamit.

"Hehe... Be careful at the camer house?" his yell.

Basic Lia. "Lia can't come, Mom. A lot of work he said," I explained to Mas Gio.

"Yes, it's okay, isn't it? Mas and his family did not bite, Ta..," joked Mas Gio.

"That's not what Ita means, Mas. It's not good to see your boyfriend become misunderstood..," I explained.

"Mas, never invited anyone to the house. Ta. Including Tikha mas girlfriend, mother does not agree mas dating with him because there are still family ties," he explained.

"If diana?" manya curious.

"Samely, I don't want to go looking for a future wife here, Ta,"

"Why Mas? if the soul mate is also far away from being able to swallow?"

"Do not know the mother, mas brothers are also asked that," he explained.

I was just listening to his explanation. He drives his motorcycle slowly because of the road structure is not too good.

"It's still far, huh, Mom?" my many.

"Yes, it's still a bit far, sorry?"

"It's okay, relax.hehe," entertain me.

On the right left of the road there are still many houses built, still in the form of forests and trees. " What about night? It must be creepy passing through here," my inner.

We arrived at a simple house made of wooden planks. Out a father who turned out to be the father of Mas Gio.

"Assalamualaikum," our greetings together.

"Greetings from nengdi koe le? Sopo iki's?" tanya mas Gio uses Javanese. I reached out and experienced what I knew was Mr. Yanto.

"Mommy hasn't come home from the sale, Ta. Inside there are mas brothers, let's introduce you," he invited into the house.

"This is Ari, he's one letting with you, Ta's school in Aliyah, while this is the youngest one's name is Nova," they greet me one by one. Mas Gio's sister is very friendly, just a little quiet maybe we just know each other.

Before long, Mas Gio's mother came home from the market peddling sales such as tempeh in leaf packs, sweet potato tape, sweet potato crackers, rice crackers and others.

They welcomed her mother together, bringing her a basket of sales and groceries to bring in. Mas Gio's mother looked at me and smiled.

"Who is nduk? tanyanya slow.

"Ita, ma'am," I answered while regretting it.

"Died where are you? Gio's friend?" ask mom again.

"I live with my grandfather, Mom. On the road of Rawasari," I answered.

"Those koncomu who end after all?" ask Gio's mom.

"I'm Mom's ghost candidate" said Nova.

"Hustt! Are you still a child to help?"

"You're still in school, aren't you, Ita?"

"Alhamdulillah still, ma'am?" answer's short.

"Yo uwes, mother arep ados, you just relax here, consider your own home. Ojo isin-isin," said the mother as she passed to take a bath.

"Mas, it's late afternoon. Can you take me home?" my many.

"You eat first, huh? Ari and Nova have cooked for us" pinta mas Gio.

"Kok bother anyway, Mas? I'm still full" I explained.

"It's okay, mother who asked you to eat first before going home. Want huh?"

I'm moved. They just know me, but they've been very nice to me. If I had a family like this, simple, but happy.

We headed to the dining room, with a simple menu of tempe bacem, sambel, vegetable and fried tofu. God is simple but very delicious.

"Mangan akeh yo nduk, ojo isin-isin karo mom and dad here. Let's just say we're your family too, Gio has told me everything about you," said the mother smiling kindly.

"Yes ma'am, thank you" I replied.

Finish eating I help Ari wash our tableware.

"You're Class 1 Aliyah Ari?" my many.

"Yes mba, new 1st grade," he replied.

"Our age is the same as Ri, call Ita aja huh? so if you go to school, what's the same Nova?"

"We rode Mba's bike, boned together. My school is closer, Nova is far away" he explained.

"What time do you usually leave? I also ride a bike, but it's closer, too,"

"Sometimes at 6 am mba, if it passes it can be late. Especially if it's rainy season and flooding, we can't go to school" he said.

"MasyaAllah...difficult also yes long distance gini?"

"Yes mba, so the plan of the father and mother want to move house. Build a house that is located if the flood or rain we can still move mba,"

"Yes, there's a point too. Hopefully we can move soon huh, Ri?

"Aamiin... It's over this mba, let's go in?" bring him.

I'm getting ready to go home. It turns out that the mother is again part of the process to make tempe. A new lifetime this time I saw firsthand the process of making one of my favorite foods.

It turns out that the taste of tempeh leaves is better than the plastic tempeh that I have been familiar with.

"This is still there tempe leaves you bring home the same crackers huh?" said the mother while giving a large bag containing tempe leaves and crackers.

"Kok bother anyway Ma'am? Ita can play here and get to know your family, Ita is happy," I replied unhappily.

"Nothing, sustenance should not be refused. Next time play here again huh, Ta?" pinta mother.

"God willing, ma'am, is ita saying yes, ma'am? Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam," they answered simultaneously.

Mas Gio drove me home.

"I am seneng in your house Mas. very harmonious and kinship," I explained.

"Especially if you are part of it, it must be more fun," he replied.

"Please on, Mas. Still under this age" I said.

"Yes, I know. Can't you call me adek?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, whatever is good," I replied accordingly.

Yes, from now on mas call you with adek aja, let it be more familiar," he said smiling.

I nodded even though he couldn't see me from behind. Perhaps, God had planned something beautiful behind my introduction to Gio. I'm sure glad I knew him.
