My Soul in Grandpa's Hands

Streets

Eleven o'clock Aleta was ready and waiting in front of the apartment lobby. Sneaker Conver*, a sling bag and a short skirt below the knee appear to fit on her body. Her appearance always seemed fresh, not the least shows that she is a wife of a man who has matured his age. But his appearance is the same as the children of ABG High School graduates.

"Tin.tin..," Aleta looked directly at the sound of the horn.

Look Tata with a sweet smile on the back of his wheel. Aleta immediately ran towards the City Car, and immediately entered in the front seat beside the wheel.

"Take a quick look at us." asked Tata.

"Cuzzz, gaskeun..," said Aleta.

Soon Tata was running his car across the highway. The band's musical sound Ada Band of MP4 is played accompanying the journey of two young girls.

After breaking through the traffic jam of Kembang City, almost 30 minutes away, they finally stopped the car in the car park in front of the factory outlet on Jalan Riau.

"We go in which we used to," asked Aleta a little confused, because of the many lines of factory outlets along the road and across the street.

"Everywhere. I'm thirsty, look for a drink first yuk." replied Tata while pulling Aleta into the food court five feet that many are there.

After they found a suitable place while looking at the traffic in front of her, Tata took Aleta to a seat.

"Just sit here, I need a message first. What are you drinking," asked Tata.

"Orange Juice no ice, toast with tuna sauce," replied Aleta, who was busy playing mobile phones. Several times Aleta took a photo swa, then sent it to her friends WhatsApp group in Sukoharjo.

"Noted" said Tata who had not been heard by Aleta.

Tata smiled to herself looking at Aleta who snapped a swa photo. Then he left Aleta, and immediately ordered food and beverage to accompany a casual chat in broad daylight.

Getting a photo submission that is not usually done Aleta, group wa immediately excited and exploded.

"Wow.where is Aleta. Mauuuu...," chat from Corry.

"It looks like on Jalan Riau tuh, I've been there. Ih. Aleta's terrible. Don't take it." chat from Ocha.

"Here you are Cha, look at the bright spot on the face of the mupeng. Want direct photos until the battery low bat." ledek Imam.

"Remember the song Ada Band Mam, because women want to be understood." - Salih.

"Yes ding, do not know right or wrong anyway ask to be understood. Wkkk.

"Sirik. Tell me there's no money, so you can't understand the nature of women" said Icha.

"Hua...Hua.ha.ha..ha.., dead lice Imam." Corry said.

Aleta enlivened all incoming chats with smile emoticons, and thumb. Just by reading the chat of his friends in group wa, his heart felt entertained and happy. Many times Aleta smiled even giggled to herself, looking at the cuteness and teasing of her friends.

"Aleta.., you don't realize what people around us have seen before" said Tata who suddenly had brought a tray of their orders.

With a plain face Aleta looked towards Tata.

"What's wrong, something's wrong" he asked innocently.

"You're like a woof, from earlier giggling laugh yourself. Look, some people whisper of your wrath." said Tata while sitting.

Aleta then takes Snack and drinks from the top of the tray, then puts it on the table. Tray she loins on the empty table next to her.

"Sorry Ta., I didn't notice. Just a reflex, funny enough, my friends' comments in group wa" said Aleta while covering her mouth with one hand.

"Hi Ta .., lama ga nongol. Where the hell are you." Suddenly there was a young man who patted Tata's shoulder from behind. Sontak Tata looked back.

"Hi Rio.., miss me." exclaimed Tata was happy to meet the man.

"Again on what, can join not." asked Rio pleasantries.

"Yup, we're just the two of us. Just sit here together." answered Tata.

"Oh yes, know this. Brother Aleta. Ta... know this Rio is my college friend." said Tata to introduce each other.

Aleta shook Rio's hand with a smile.

"Whatever, what a good call." Aleta answered briefly with a smile.

"OK I call Leta yeah. Leta your smile this afternoon is so sweet. Suddenly there was an arrow straying into my heart" Rio teased Aleta

"Ah.., your dreadlocks Rio. The nickname Boy Pung the village playboy is right for you." said Tata quickly.

"He.he.he.m., ah you just turn off my merchandise Ta." Rio protested to Tata.

The three of them finally chatted together, then went in and out of factory outlets along Jalan Riau without knowing the sense of achievement. At three in the afternoon, Aleta and Tata parted ways with Rio with two paper bags each containing fashion groceries.

"Sir Devan, today's tumbens of your possessiveness are gone" Rolland said in his brother's study.

"Speak what you are, don't digress." sahur Devan.

"But you let Aleta walk with Tata. Seeing Aleta's appearance, honestly, brother, if she's not my sister's wife, I'm going after her. It looks fresh, sweet as the ripe Cherry fruit asks to be picked" said Rolland teasing his brother.

"Hmmm.., pity that she's alone in the apartment. Before leaving, I WhatsApp Tata to take him for a walk. Instead of him the same way the man, mending the same Tata right." Devan tells Rolland if he allows his wife to walk with Tata.

"But I'm suspicious, I think I smell something" Rolland said.

"What do you mean." asked Devan.

"I know who my brother is. Possessive men of the world. There's something strange about suddenly allowing his wife to walk with men."

"You mean."

"Ting." the tone of the incoming message reads on Devan's phone.

"See the message I just sent."

Devan picks up his phone, and goes into the WhatsApp app. A picture of his wife with Tata and a man taking a selfie in the street crowd. A smile was seen on his wife's face. Devan's face suddenly looked tensely holding something back.

"Who is that man" Devan asked Rolland.

"Well, yeah I don't know. Ask the same Aleta and Tata dong, those who are photos together" said Rolland.

"Ha .ha.ha.., that's why my brother was there. Kok tumben-tumbenan kak Devan kindly allow Aleta to walk."

"Honestly, Aleta is still young, beautiful. Especially now that his appearance and face are getting cleaner. Out of the bit, many beetles will scramble to suck the honey "Rolland describes Aleta at this time.

"Call Tata now. Tell them to come home immediately" Devan told his sister's order.

"That's not how you are, take care of their feelings too. Try to understand them, brother, understand at his age. But what is this." asked Rolland.

"Helena." Devan replied briefly.

"What does this have to do with Helena." Rolland asked confusedly.

"Helena came to the apartment yesterday, and Aleta just happened to come."

"Hah.., this is bad brother. Brother and Helena are no longer jittery right" Rolland said as he illustrated with two palms stacked up.

"For your brains, I love Aleta. Since marrying her, I've stopped dealing with other women."

"But despite not doing anything that crossed the line with Helena. Aleta remains angry and suspects you" Devan said.

"Oh. yes I see. Means to atone for the sins of her sister allowing Aleta to go along with Tata ya" Rolland said in his own conclusion.

Devan nodded his head.

"Well, go ahead with the way Brother Devan interacts with Brother-in-law. But sister's also got to be extra careful looking after sister-in-law. Many men her age have an interest in Aleta."

Devan fell silent, he devised a strategy to talk to his wife later tonight.
