Before 7 pm Nandang was already at home after delivering Puspa mother walking exercise therapy.
Buru hunted him to pray and dinner, then rushed to the Onel complex. There are 3 houses waiting to be cleaned. Usually the house is uninhabited, but the money and keys to the house have been tipped with Onel's mother. So that it is free Nandang want to come clean any hour will not disturb the occupants of the house.
That night, Nandang was very excited when he got a chat from aunty named Noni who also asked for her house to be cleaned, meaning there will be 4 houses that he could execute tonight.
"Thank God it's possible tonight could get two hundred thousand money, quite able to replace the services of a mother therapist today right. Yes. diligent is the rich base." Kekeh Nandang in pleasure.
"Lembur Ndang.." said Karman when Nandang motorbike he parked in front of Onel's house.
"Yes bang. Where's mommy? the door's tumben's closed." Said Nandang while opening a basket containing clean clothes that were tipped Andini was 6 packs.
"Mommy again vacation out of town, she is afraid also rot if at home continue Ndang. ha. ha. ha. ha." Karman's laughter was not good, while giving up the keys to Onel's house.
"Come bang, accompany Nan in." invite Nandang to make Karman a witness. Especially in the matter of weighing dirty clothes that seemed to have begun to pile up again in front of Onel's house.
"Your last night came." Tukas Karman again.
"So send the mother therapy until passing magrib. Come for noon. Unfinished clothes in the iron all." Answer Nandang slowly with his hands began to weigh the plastic baggy clothes earlier.
"Hum long enough also you guys survive working like this, Ndang. Even though you are still a child your age must be more selfish and only know to ask for money to parents." Chirps Karman who is always lighthearted help Nandang or Andini if doing this weighing, Karman also sometimes helps remind about the laundry bill that the 'chicken' must pay. So that the two children always come home with money without delinquent payment of services.
"Ha.ha. Who wants the same money? dad doesn't have it, mom doesn't know if we're his son. Where now my mother if she sees Nan call her akang. I thought Nan was the father, her husband first. So what's more often asked in the same meeting Nan than Ndin." He told Karman.
"Ga papa. rest assured, slowly will also be healed. Keep trying to treat it and pray. You are also the sons of Sholeh and Sholehah, your prayers must be in the same horror of God." Tukas Karman.
"Amen. Thanks for the support bang. Excuse me, there are 4 houses Nan has to clean today. Nan to go there first ya bang." Pamit Nandang was polite and began to step into the house whose keys were already in his hands.
Not a heavy thing for Nandang this work, so in fact Nandang is somewhat confused with the residents of the house who need the energy of others to just sweep, so that Nandang is a bit confused with the occupants of the house that requires the power of others to just sweep, mop and tidy up the order of the house that is messy due to their own actions.
But, is not the existence of such a type of human being actually beneficial for Nandang. Which sometimes only takes 30 minutes to finish in terms of cleaning everything. Yes, although the most messy place is always the bedroom.
Nandang so remembered how when the mother was still healthy, he always talked a lot to describe anything about the work of humans who at night always metamorphosed into butterflies.
Now Nandang has become a student, certainly not as easy as when mother explained. Even now his college friends have become butterflies elsewhere. There is also a campus chicken. The sometimes kebelet clad each other tongue and supported on the chest of his lover also often see Nandang. For that, Nandang only need to be introspective.
Nandang also occasionally chuckles considering how scared his mother used to be about his closeness to women, who can get pregnant after she has wet dreams.
Mom, always had a way to protect her child. In order not to fall into that negativity.
Although destiny led him to work on land that could be faster and more practical to earn money. But Puspa still chose to slam his bones by working and living simply and kept unpretentious.
The house that Nandang cleaned was random, not clear arrangement sometimes adjacent to the house that has residents. Especially if the night is like this, Nandang's ears are often stained with the sound of a scary horror giggling sound is more sinister than a kuntilanak grin as possible. Also an unclear howl. In fact, if he is not mistaken not only the voice of women, but men as well. Honed but the verbs are not clear, just issstt. Oh may god. if Nandang did not hear wrong too.
Actually Nandang was curious what they were doing inside, but the work was more interesting for him to be completed so quickly go home and find his sleeping mattress.
Nandang was finished with three houses and had pocketed a hundred and fifty thousand rupiah. The last home is Noni's. Intentionally Nandang make it take a last turn because usually the house is at least a lot of garbage and not chaotic. So, very easy to clean.
"Nandang.." The voice of the somewhat weak woman was faintly grasped by Nandang's sense of hearing from the direction in the room.
"Yes aunt..." Replied Nandang stepped masuj and ventured to stand in the doorway of Noni's room.
"Gazers. please." Stirred again. Nandang saw a small plastic bucket under the edge of Noni's bed. Contains some sort of wet dirt like vomit marks.
"Auntie... Noni why?" Nandang had not dared to step into Noni's private room.
"Auntie is sick Dang. Can aunty please?" he asked in a weak voice, his body still covered all by the blanket.
Finally Nandang ventured closer to the bed on which was Noni. And ventured into reaching Noni's forehead with the back of her hand.
"Sorry, excuse me, aunt." Say it before touching Noni's forehead.
"Not hot." Answer plain nandang.
"Who said it was hot. I said Dang's sick." Reply Noni began ferociously.
"What pain, no relief from aunty?"
"The one who is sick is just a fever? auntie gets wind. Please massage or kerokin aunty yes, see. Former vomit aunt from earlier so lemes really." Said Noni still in a blanket.
"Huh...?? Nan can't mijet aunt." Nandang regressed his position.
"Please apply the oil rub on your aunt's back. Please Nan. At this hour friends tane already at work, since earlier no one cares about the same aunt. Are you also willing to let your own silly aunt die here?" the subtle threat of Noni which is certainly unreasonable but invites compassion in the heart of Nandang who is always easily filled with the suffering of others.
Seriate...
