Chapter 9. The arrival of Reno

After returning from the market with Feni, Titi immediately took a bath, because it was already approaching magrib. After the magrib prayer, Titi asked Tuti to heat the meatball sauce he had brought.

" Tut, please heat the meatball sauce that you don't bring, it's not good if it's cold. Just now, I brought four packs!" titi Pinta on Tuti.

"Good, mom!" said Tuti.

Tuti goes to the kitchen, picks up the meatballs on the kitchen table and heats the sauce.

After heating the meatball sauce, Tuti put it on the dining table.

"Sir, the meatballs are reheating!" tuti said to Titi.

Because Titi was still in the room, Tuti told Titi in front of her bedroom door.

"Yes, Tut, just eat the meatballs, it's for mom, dad, bang Pandu and Tuti.

The mother had eaten chicken noodles." said Titi.

" Yes mbak, we all have dinner, father, mother and bang Pandu have been waiting for mbak!" said Tuti again.

" Yes, Tut." replied Titi.

Tuti came out of the room, followed Tuti to the dining room.

They also had dinner together.

Pandu and Tuti eat only meatballs, while dad, mom and Titi eat rice

" Pandu, Tuti, why don't you eat rice? just eating meatballs?" ask mother.

" Pandu, still full ma'am, just before going home from work, Pandu ate first with friends, we did not have time to eat lunch, because there is work that must be quickly completed" replied Pandu

" Tuti is still full mom" replied Tuti.

" Pandu, next time do not delay lunch, even though there is a lot of work, but when you take a break to eat, you have to eat, leave the work first, is there no lunch hour? if you delay eating, then you can catch a cold" said the father advising Pandu.

" Good sir, it was because the work was a little longer, the responsibility if abandoned, anyways have been awaited by the boss, so Pandu and Pandu friends finish the job first and postpone lunch, and then the, we only take a short break for shoat zuhur" Pandu explained to the father.

"Yes, next time don't get used to skipping lunch, the body also needs energy to work!" say father again.

"Good, sir!" answer Pandu again.

"You too Tut, eat rice even a little, I see you if you eat only a little, later if you eat you are not good, you can get stomach." said the mother told Tuti.

"Good, mom!" tuti replied, then he added a little rice to his meat bowl

Finally, they finished their dinner.

After the meal, Tuti and Titi cleaned the dining table, Tuti washed the dirty dishes, while Tuti kept the washed dishes.

Father and mother sit in the room tivi while watching mother's favorite soap operas, while Pandu goes into his room.

After praying Isya, Tuti does schoolwork, while Titi reads a novel in her room.

Today, Pandu, Titi and Tuti no one goes to the mosque.

Pandu and Titi returned home in the afternoon, while Tuti was on a lot of schoolwork.

Suddenly, Titi hears someone knocking on the door and says hello.

Because Titi's room was facing the living room, so Titi heard clearly the person knocking on the front door.

Titi came out of her room and opened the front door.

" Assalamualaikum.." Greetings to someone at the door that Titi opened.

"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullah." replied Titi.

Titi was surprised to see the person in front of him, he knew the person but the person had not come to Titi's house for a long time.

He is Reno, one of the managers of Taruna Reef in his village.

Titi got to know Reno while participating in Penataran P4 activities in her village, and Reno was one of her organizers.

" Good night, Ti, sorry am I interrupting?" ask Reno to Titi.

" Night, sister, no, it just so happens to be relaxing." replied Titi.

" Come, come on in!" invite Titi.

"Okay, sister, please sit down, I'll make a drink first" Titi said again.

"Okay, thanks Ti!" answer Reno.

Reno sits in the terrace seat, while Titi goes to the kitchen to make drinks for Reno.

"Who's coming, Ti?" ask the mother who is still in the room.

" Sister Reno ma'am, who is the manager of Taruna Reef" replied Titi.

" What's necessary?" ask mom again.

" Don't know mom, Titi hasn't asked, Titi wants to make a drink first, her Reno sister is sitting on the floor, Titi invite you in won't." Titi answered the mother's question, all explaining the whereabouts of Reno sitting on the floor.

" Yes, that's it" said the mother again.

Titi also continued the kedapur road to make coffee for Reno.

After making coffee, Tuti also brought it to the front, along with the snacks that this afternoon was made by mother.

After putting coffee and snacks on the table, Titi also invited Reno to drink his coffee.

"Please, drink the coffee sis, all her snacks are also eaten." Titi bargained to Reno.

" Yes, thank you!" answer Reno.

Seeing Reno who was silent, Titi started a conversation and asked Reno

" Brother Reno, how are you? What's the activity now?"

" Alhamdulillah, good news Ti, brother is still busy with the activities of Karang Taruna."

" Titi, how are you? to the mosque, huh? usually at this hour Titi just returned from the mosque."

" Thank God, Titi's news is good too.

Titi was back in the afternoon, so she didn't go to the mosque."

" Tumben's brother played here, haven't you heard from him in a long time?"

" Sister deliberately played here, there's something you want to say!".

"Titi, is there still a connection with Toni?"

" Sister, do you know Brother Toni?"

Tuti asks Reno back, Titi does not know if Reno and Toni know each other.

" Incidentally, Toni's boarding house near sister's house, and we're good friends, Toni told Titi to sister."

"Ohh.It's fitting that Reno's brother knows Toni."

" So how, is Titi still related to Toni?"

" That's how brother, Titi and brother Toni's relationship, is still as usual."

" Did Toni never say anything to Titi, her personal or family problems?"

"No! We rarely met in person, especially if brother Toni picket, he will play here for a while, we were just a regular chat."

Reno was silent, as if she was thinking of conveying something to Titi.

" In fact, there's something you want to tell Titi, but you're afraid Titi's mad at you."

" What does my brother want to say?

If something is important, just tell it. Why should Titi be mad at sister?"

" Sister, just want to convey a truth to Titi, so that Titi is not too hopeful and will make Titi feel hurt!"

" Actually, what does my sister want to say? Don't be afraid, God willing whatever you say, Titi is ready to hear it!"

" Previously, I'm sorry, it's not the intention of you to interfere with Titi and Toni's relationship, you only feel sorry for Titi if she's just being played by Toni!"

Titi was increasingly confused by Reno's words, but Titi just kept quiet, she did not interrupt Reno's words, Titi was waiting for what Reno would say.
