My son Mak'Comblang

12. IT'S GONE!!!

“Let's stay here, tomorrow I'll take you to the store.... If you don't mind.” Rio's proposal for Lala to come along.

Rio turned his face away, reluctant to see Lala's refusal.

Sisil looked at Lala and Rio alternately, he seemed to understand Rio's feelings.

“Check mom... Friends Sisil yaa..” Sisil whined, wrapping his arm around Lala's arm.

“iya..iya... Mom follow.”

“Sorry to trouble mas Rio.”

At that time they were already in the car to one of the famous malls in Jakarta.

“ahh... No one is bothered. It's nice to spend time with you.” Rio's smile expands.

Hearing Rio's words, Sisil immediately protested.

“Sisil ??”

“I mean Om, Sisil too. It's nice to spend time with you guys. Heheehe.” Rio's eyes glanced at Lala beside him, although Lala turned her face towards the window, but Rio could still see a smile on Lala's lips. He could not help his happy smile either.

Sisil who was in the back seat could clearly see the expressions of the two adults in front of her, smiling along. He was anxious that Lala could have a partner like Om Rio.

Mamma... Papa's... They fit right?

“We eat first yes... If you don't mind. You see I missed my lunch earlier.” Pinta Rio as they started to enter the mall parking area.

“No one objected Om, we are all not overweight...hehee...” Sisil's hand holds Rio's hand on his right, and Lala's hand on his left.

They walked to a very crowded restaurant. The restaurant serves a typical Indonesian food menu with a traditional atmosphere even in a large mall. Make the visitors comfortable linger there for a long time.

“SILL...!!”

There was a loud scream, which made some guests in the restaurant glance at the source of the sound.

Sisil who felt his name being called in a familiar voice also looked in the same direction. It turned out to be the voice of Adit who was sitting in one corner of the restaurant with Aunt Shinta. Sisil hurriedly ran towards Adit.

Lala waved her hand and walked towards Adit and Shinta. Except Rio. He breathed a rough breath. Lay his feet lazily. Seeing Shinta's nosy smile made her want to turn back time, so she could change their destination.

“Hai mbak Shinta, already from earlier?” Lala says hello

“Newly until.”

Shinta smiled jailly towards Rio.

“Hai Mas handsome, isn't this still working hours? Why could it be here? Have an appointment with a client? Or on a date?” Shinta begins to launch the action, interrogating her brother.

“My work is done Big madam. And I want to eat. Hungry.” Rio lied, even though there were still files that he stayed at the table untouched.

Rio pulled out a chair to let Lala sit in front of Shinta.

“Trank.” Lala blushed with Rio's treatment.

Sisil had already taken a position next to Adit. Rio was without hesitation sitting next to Lala. And Shinta kept smiling looking at her brother.

The conversation was warm. And the main topic of the chat at the table was none other than Rio. Everything Adit and Shinta knew about Rio was spilled there. Making Rio busy denying the story that he thought would make his image bad in the eyes of Lala and Sisil.

“You know, there used to be a lot of women who queued to captivate Mas Rio, but Mas Rio always held my hand as if I was his lover, just to get rid of them.”

“I'm not in line with Shin.”

Rio denies.

“But it is true that they exist, can I mention them one by one? Too good for them, they think it's hope. No idea just a false hope.huhh”.

“I just act polite. No more.” Rio was worried that Lala would think of him as a playboy.

“Your polite attitude is too alluring my handsome Mas..” Shinta turned her attention towards Lala.

“You know La, because of those women, Rio prefer to travel the world, become a travel blogger. So as not to bond with any of them.”

Lala from earlier listened to the conversation of the brothers, just a gentle smile, she was confused how to give a response. While Sisil is busy playing electronic games that are brought by Adit.

Finally the waiter who brought their ordered food came, shifting the focus from Rio-themed chat, to culinary-themed. Rio told me a lot about the culinary he had tasted in various parts of the world. Sisil and Adit listened enthusiastically. While eating their food.

“Adit finished where?” ask Sisil

“You accompany mama watch, later papa also want to follow us he said.”

“Sisil also want to watch?” rio asked who also heard the conversation of the two boys. His hand rubbed gently on Sisil's hair.

“ehh..” Sisil glanced at Lala who shook her head, gesturing ‘not’ for Sisil.

“Not Om, want to find a book aja.” Sisil replied in a doldrums.

“You sure you don't want to watch?” rio asked once more, as he saw a tinge of disappointment in Sisil's tone of voice.

Sisil nodded slowly.

“Next time we watch together deh Sil, we invite all of you. Okay?!” adit's Promise.

Sisil nodded back. Actually not because Sisil wants to watch a movie, but he wants to enjoy the togetherness with Lala and Rio even longer.

Finally after finishing eating Adit and Shinta separated from them. Rio, Lala and Sisil walked together to the bookstore in the mall area.

Occasionally, Sisil looks enthusiastic to see the shop display. But Lala quickly reminds her of her primary purpose of searching for books.

“Bu is a really funny shirt.”.

“Focus Sil, let you come here to find a book!!”

Rio was eager to buy what Sisil wanted, but he did not want to go too far in interfering with Lala's upbringing. She was worried that Lala would instead stay away from her if she forced her will too much.

As they entered the bookstore, Rio saw the facial expressions of Lala and Sisil. They both look very happy. Like seeing an oasis in the desert. Their feet half-run. They both equally scattered to look at each book that looks interesting. And one more thing in common, the two of them forgot Rio who was still dumbfounded at the entrance of the store.

Oh my God they forgot me... My slack is defeated by books.

Rio waited for a while, his position still standing at the shop door, hoping that one of them would come to him.

But it turned out, after waiting for some time, Lala and Sisil did not come. Rio chose to move out of the bookstore.

After a long time, Lala finally got some books of her choice, Lala approached Sisil who also had a pile of books in her hands.

“Already?”

“Iya, already bu.”

“Come to cashier.”

They walked towards the cashier, while showing each other the choice of g salin g book.

“Sil, Where's Rio?” Lala who was aware of Rio's absence glanced around the bookstore.

“Not from earlier the same Mother?”

“Not Sil, I even thought, if you are the same with Om Rio!”

“Try a phone bu.”

“Mother doesn't have her number Om Rio Sil.”

“Ask aunty Shinta bu..”

Lala quickly contacted Shinta with her phone. His eyes kept on going around looking for Rio. But there was no answer from the cell phone and there was no shadow of Rio inside the bookstore.

“Neither lifted Sil, may already be in the cinema.”

"Can't Om Rio be missing mom?... Or don't Om Rio kidnapped aunty who was told the same aunt Shinta earlier ma'am?" Sisil showed a silly smile, he said as if Rio was a little boy.

“We search outside aja yuk bu.” Take Sisil while putting the book in his hand on one of the shelves. Lala followed Sisil, put down the book, and walked out of the shop.

They both focus on finding a tall man in a navy suit among the many mall visitors. There was a man who had been following them since they left the bookstore.
