Neighbor Oh Neighbor
Chapter 34
Sucks.
Actually, I was surprised by my new neighbor, not without reason I was surprised by my new neighbor who is often called by the name of Mama Ragil.
Because I felt like I was being monitored by him, he seemed to know when I opened the door or when I just came home from outside like vegetable shopping or whatever.
Since the incident mbok Nah who told me that she said no vegetable shopping because often I love cooking, I often lock the door of my house after my husband went to work.
But yes it is, when I open the door or when I just come home, Mama Ragil is already in front of my house.
There are reasons from starting Ragil who wants to play, ask for bay leaves, ride a cartoon for Ragil, ask for salt and so forth.
It seems like Mama Ragil will use every means to get into my house.
Actually I do not just agree with her request, once she asked for a greeting leaf for example, I replied that I do not have while still standing in front of the door and holding the handle of my door.
“Ga yes mba Andini, try mba Andini I see, mba Andini what seasoning?” half forced to go inside the house.
Both hands he had, one hand he used to hold Ragil while the other hand he used to push the door of my house.
Actually my hands are definitely more powerful than Ragil's mom but the way she carried Ragil made me worry that Ragil would slump from his carrier, I finally had to open the door.
He will continue to barge into the house and of course the kitchen is the main purpose of his arrival to my house.
“Mba Andini is not yet cooked, yes?”
Mama Ragil this if you ask not only her mouth that moves but her hands also swiftly move open the hood of food on the dining table.
“Iya, why?”
“Ga anything.” He said, then his eyes turned towards the refrigerator.
“Eh in refrigerator mba Andini any food?”
“This is actually Mama Ragil here just to check I have bay leaves or not, so do not open my refrigerator.”
I just closed the refrigerator door that he almost opened, and held it with my body that stood firmly in front of the refrigerator door.
“Hehe yes mama Ayu, it's just that I am curious about the contents of the refrigerator mama Ayu.”
Geez, this is a person, even though the position of my body that is still standing firmly in front of the refrigerator should have been a sign for him that he should not open my refrigerator, he said, but at that time he was still standing in front of my refrigerator door.
“Obviously mama ragil, nothing special. Mama Ragil at home also has a refrigerator, right? The fridge is even big, there are four doors.” I said at that time.
I deliberately emphasized my words when I said he had a four-door refrigerator, yes that was his confession when he told me about the refrigerator, all of you let him realize that the refrigerator that is nothing with his refrigerator is certainly no interesting thing.
“Ya maybe there is a unique food that mba Andini, mba Andini will like a nephew who plays, usually the food of various types.”
After he said that, I pulled his hand to get away from my refrigerator and I carried him to the shelf where I used to store my kitchen spices.
“Nih mama Ragil his spice rack, mama Ragil already know my habit of storing seasonings.” I said while pointing at the shelf.
Eh he even grinned that's not clear that when I show you where I store kitchen spices, fix something wrong with him.
“Hehe yes yes no, yes I have asked for this only yes.”
Do you know what Mama Ragil took, she took my date that I bought with great difficulty.
Why hard work, because kencur is one of the kitchen spices that are difficult to get, so the explanation mbok Nah vegetable maker to me when I was looking for kencur in the hwarung mbok Nah.
It's important he comes home soon.
“Ya already mama Ragil just take it, sorry yes mama Ragil please go home yes, because I want to improve.”
“Let's go home, Ragil like still want to play, usually I play here, continue mba Andini can still improve.”
“But I currently want to mop, so I can not if again mop up anyone who will wara-wiri.”
Because it looks like Ragil's mother is a person who ngeyel aka difficult to sayin, yes I have been forced to pull again his wrist to the front door of my house.
“Mba andini, time to play for a while can't be anyway.”
“Sorry yes mama Ragil.” I opened the door for her and with a little force I pushed Mama Ragil's body slowly until both of her legs were outside my door.
I gave you the sweetest smile I had and I closed my door and didn't forget I locked my door before I stepped into the kitchen.
Just as my feet were about to step outside, I heard Melly's voice calling for Ragil's mom, I paused my footsteps, turned around and peeked out from behind my window.
“Where is mama Ragil?”
“This is from the house mba Andini, the plan is to play but can not be the same mba Andini, stingy him.”
It has been given to me eh even mengelunjak that, I say stingy, emang ya base mama Ragil.
“Times anyway, mba Andini is usually good loh she was never stingy so.”
“Well if mba mely ga believe mom there alone surely she will not open the door for mom.”
“Lazy ah me, I if the same people stingy innan directly ga respect again.”
Can immediately spread the news if I'm stingy ga ngongkan neighbor play, because who is now being invited to chat with mama Ragil is the number one person in the news spreader, either true news or hoax.
“Iya right mba Melly, I also so lazy mba Andini, must pity who became her son.”
“What does mama Ragil mean?”
“So I took a look at her veil it was nothing. Maybe her husband every day cooked noodles with his mother.”
“Iya yes mama Ragil, it could be like that, because stingy people are usually lazy to shop for cuisine.”
“Yes what I said, so feel sorry for her husband.”
Ah already what he wants to say about me, anyway what is said the same Mama Ragil is not true.
I immediately stepped into the kitchen, I opened the door of my refrigerator and I smiled because I managed to save Ayu's ice cream and Aida's chocolate cake Ayu's sister.if not sure my two beautiful nieces would sulk, because this afternoon I will visit here with my husband's extended family.
