"What is this really? Why is Carnation so long in the bathroom?" Cempaka muttered, His eyes staring towards the bathroom. He hoped his sister would show up there.
But the one he was waiting for didn't come back either. Because, Carnation is already in his room, the room that used to be in the Carnation when he was not married to Lightning.
"Where is he? How come! Long time to the bathroom" Cempaka still looking - the way.
"Anyelir! Long time yes, to the bathroom"Cempaka spoke for himself.
"Who are you looking for? " Mum Sekar asked Cempaka in slight surprise.
"Anjelir, ma. He said he wanted to go to the bathroom, but not back for a long time" replied Cempaka, his eyes still looking for Carnations.
"Out of the bathroom, he went to his room" said Bu Sekar.
"Pantesan, I wait here do not appear" said Cempaka rather annoyed.
Cempaka also sat back on the carpet, he squished on the carpet while leaning his back against the wall of the house.
Meanwhile, Carnations was in his room with his two younger siblings. Lightning and the Youngest, Seruni.
"Kilat, Seruni remembered yes, do not talk anything about the pregnancy of the sister in front of sister Cempaka. Remember that yes!" Carnations mengawanti-wanti his two younger siblings.
"Why brother?" Seruni asked innocently.
"Yes, brother, why?" Lightning also asked.
"Emh, well, why?" Confused carnation answered.
"Just don't talk about it! Just be quiet" said Carnation, he answered arbitrarily, because he was confused looking for the answer.
"Sister, why does sister Cempaka not have a husband, and not yet pregnant" Seruni with her innocent question.
"Because, there is no soul mate, and if there is no soul mate, can not get pregnant!" Carnations try to explain.
"Why isn't there a soul mate?"
Seruni asked back.
" Emh, why? Emh, yes there is nothing" Again Anyelir replied casually.
"Why is sister Anyelir married, while sister Cempaka not yet?" Seruni asked again.
" Yes, brother, why brother?" Lightning asked too.
Carnations were silent listening to such a question. He was confused looking for the answer.
"Already ah, don't ask the strange. Make a dizzy answer" Anyelir gave up on all the words of his two sisters.
"Anyways, if Brother Cempaka asks about Brother Anyelir, don't answer, just shut up. Understood!" Carnations gave ultimatums to her sisters.
"Yes, brother, can I leave this room now?" Tanya Kilat hoped.
"I also want to go out, may you sister Anyelir" Seruni pleaded, with both hands on the spikes in front of her chest.
Carnation smiled amusedly at him.
It feels funny, yes. I feel annoyed too.
"By, please!" Finally, Carnations invited his two younger siblings to leave his room.
"Assyc! Let's get our Seruni out!" Lightning clamped her hand Seruni then she pulled him out of her room Carnation.
The two of them ran to the living room, then to the dining room.
"I want to take food first" said Lightning while opening the hood of food on the dining table.
"There's fried tofu, you want to?"
Lightning said, his hands plucked two fried tofu, then they went to the kitchen, after closing the food back with a serving hood.
"Eyeh, Lightning! The seruni! Waitaminute! Brother wants nanya" Cempaka stopped his two younger brothers' steps.
"What's up, brother?" Lightning replied, he stopped his steps.
Seruni also stopped
the move.
"Where are you from?" Ask Cempaka.
"From her room, sister Carnations" answered the two.
"Where is her Carnation Brother now?" Ask h again.
Lightning and Seruni looked at each other, they did not want to answer. Look at each other and look at each other.
Cempaka was confused by the actions of his two sisters.
"What's wrong? Why not tell her whereabouts, sister Anyelir? You're just asking, now where's the carnation?" Patiently, Cempaka repeated his question again.
Lightning and Seruni simply shook his head, after which they left by leaving Cempaka who was feeling confused himself.
"These kids, why them? How come! Strange attitude" muttered Cempaka.
After Lightning and Seruni passed, Cempaka also passed to his room Carnation.
"Anjelir! You're in there? Geck! Geck!" Said Cempaka while knocking on the door of his sister's room.
There is no truth, everything seems as quiet as no one there.
"Where is he? Is he sleeping?" Cempaka Gumam.
At his push slowly, the door of his room Carnations, and then opened it.
There's no one there!
There doesn't seem to be any carnations there. The room was empty.
"Where is he? Earlier, the words of Lightning and Seruni ran out of her room, sister Anyelir, and met her. But, when asked where the carnations are? They did not answer, they just shook their heads. Why and what is this?" Cempaka was silent in front of the door of his room Carnation.
A few new questions, adding to the last row of questions, have not yet been answered.
"The more confusing it is, making my head feel more dizzy seven circumference" muttered Cempaka.
"Let me find mom, I'll ask her. Mother probably knew the answer to all these questions that filled my head" Cempaka hurried away from the front of her room Carnation, heading to the kitchen, to look for her mother.
"Mother! Where's mom?" While stepping Cempaka called his mother.
In the dining room, he did not meet.
In the kitchen too, there was no one empty.
Cempaka returned to the living room, to his room Lightning.
"Tokay! Geck! Geck! Lightning, see mommy no?"Cempaka bows his head into his room Lightning. But his brother was not there, in his room.
"Germany! You're in there?" Cempaka bows his head into his room Seruni, which is next to his room Lightning.
"Nothing, where are they really?" Cempaka asked as his finger scratched at his non-itchy head.
Cempaka went back to the kitchen, hoping he would get his mother there.
"It looks like they're in the backyard, I have to go there to look for them" Cempaka immediately rushed towards the backyard.
There was Jati sir, who was busy with his chickens.
Pak Jati is giving feed to his pet chicken.
"Assalamualaikum, you are busy. I'm helping you sir!" Cempaka took the place of feed, and gave it to the chickens.
A few days later, all the feed was full. Stay in patuki by the chicken - the chicken.
"The garden is watering yet sir?"Ask Cempaka while sitting next to his father.
"It's okay, sir! I was sleeping, dad for a while, I went to the kitchen to get some water" Cempaka went to the kitchen.
Before long, Cempaka had already returned with two cups of hot tea in his hands.
"It seems good if we enjoy it here" said while keeping two cups of hot tea and one jar of nastar on the table.
"Come sir! We ngetuh first, let's lose the feeling of fatigue in our bodies"
Cempaka invites Jati sir to ngeteh together.
"Sir, did you see my mother?" Cempaka tried asking after they sipped her warm tea.
"So mom was here with dad. Then, your mother asked permission, he said to go to the shop first, there is something to buy" Mr. Jati tried to explain.
"If Carnations? Maybe you know?" Ask Cempaka again.
"Anyelir, you didn't see it, son! If it was time with you, last see" Sahut pak Jati.
"Where are you?" Cempaka asked himself.
"Have you searched his room?"
"Already, sir. But he was not there, but there was something I had to ask him" Cempaka said, his eyes staring at the vegetable garden that lay before his eyes.
"What's really going on? What are you gonna ask your sister?" Jati asked to know.
"I'm surprised, sir. Looking at Carnations it seems like something has changed now. What's up, sir? Maybe you know?" Cempaka tried to ask his father.
"In your eyes, did the carnation change?" Jati tried to ask.
"Yes sir, the more days the whole house felt different, just now when I asked Carnations to Lightning and Seruni, they just looked at each other and shook their heads, and passed away leaving me. Though, previously they said they had met with Carnations in his room. It's strange, I'm so confused sir" Cempaka tried to reveal everything that made him confused, to his father.
"They are children, though,
maybe they want to play around with you" Mr. Jati switched the conversation.
In his heart, Mr. Jati already knows where Cempaka's words go.
"Assalamualaikum, Cempaka are you here?" Bu Sekar suddenly was at the kitchen door.
"Waalaikumsalam, yes ma'am. Mother where have you been? I've been dancing around" Sahut Cempaka seemed a little upset.
"Mom to the shop first, one second"
Answer me Sekar, relax.
"Why ma'am, didn't you tell me?"
"So you were busy chatting with your sister" Sahut bu Sekar.
"Ah mother, nothing ma'am, you should just tell me, just a casual chat, it doesn't matter. I wanted to ask him something, uh he went to the bathroom instead, and until now it just disappeared, really weird, what is this really about?" Cempaka could not hide his frustration.
"What would you ask your sister?" Ask Ms. Sekar, she sits next to Cempaka.
"Mom, that question. And I want a definite answer, a clear one" said Cempaka.
"Much of it, how much? And what is it? Can you tell?" Bu Sekar tried
enquired.
"Some ma'am, one of them was about the conversation I had heard earlier, when I was still in my room" said Cempaka, he looked at his mother's eyes as if he was looking for answers to her questions.
"Talk about what, son?
Tell me the same mother" Bu Sekar asked with a fierce feeling.
"It seems Cempaka heard it when Anyelir said about her pregnancy. How'this?" Bathin bu Sekar, his eyes looked at the face of Mr. Teak with a face that looked panicked.
"About pregnant Carnations" said Cempaka flat.
"What's? About pregnant Carnations?" Bu Sekar and her husband were surprised to hear Cempaka. Both of them jumped while rubbing the chest. It seems like an incredible shock.
"Why ma'am, sir?" Cempaka grew more astonished, seeing his parents react like that.
"That's what you said earlier, that Carnation was pregnant. You know where it came from? Listen from who?" Bu Sekar immediately mastered the situation.
"Maybe you heard wrong, son. We were talking about your sister's pregnancy, Bunga. He will soon want a lahiran" said Bu Sekar, trying to convince his son.
"But, mom. I heard it very clearly. Even Kilat and Seruni are excited about having two baby sisters. That is the baby sister Bunga and the baby Carnation, that's what I heard" said Cempaka with his face filled with curiosity.
"Maybe you heard wrong, son" said Mr. Jati.
"Have I heard wrong?" Cempaka muttered, so confused himself.
Mr. Jati and Bu Sekar looked at each other. The two signaled each other, so as not to divulge the secret that had been covered.
"yes, maybe I've heard wrong, hopefully it's true" said Cempaka again.
"I went inside first ma'am, sir. Assalamualaikum" Cempaka passed leaving his parents with questions still rolling inside his head.
"Yes son, waalaikumsalam" replied Jati and Bu Sekar.
"It looks like he's starting to get suspicious, sir. We should how? It is impossible for us all our life to lie and continue to lie" Ms. Sekar began to panic.
"So my father has suggested that we be honest, rather than later he knows from others" said Mr. Jati.
Cempaka's footsteps immediately stopped at the door of Seruni's room.
His ears clearly heard the conversation between Anyelir and his two younger siblings, namely Lightning and Seruni.
"Remember ya! Try brother Cempaka not to know that brother is married to brother Lightning. And, one more. Don't tell me that you're pregnant too, just like before, you're shaking your head enough when Brother Cempaka asks you about Brother Anye!" Carnation.
Hearing all the expressions from Carnations like that, there felt something raining into his heart.
All the words of his sister, like lightning striking in the hot day.
Cempaka could not catch the answer Lightning and Seruni, he was washed away in a broken mood, a lunge was not left.
"It turns out, they're married" muttered Cempaka.
His body felt weak. His entire bones seemed to be dislodged, as if detached from his body.
His hands trembled withstanding the multimillion-taste turmoil that rolled in his heart.
Feelings destroyed!
His soul is falling.
Until she could speak no more, only her tears fell on both her cheeks, representing all her feelings.
"Brugh!" I heard something fall.
Finally, the body of Cempakapun Roboh!
His body collapsed instantly, right in front of the door of his room Seruni.
"What's that sound?" Carnations were shocked to hear the sound of falling objects, right in front of the door of Seruni's room.
"No idea, brother!" Sahut Lightning.
"Yes, what's that sound?" Seruni also asked.
"Let's see!" Carnations immediately rushed towards the door, and opened it.
"Sister! Brother!" Carnations screamed hysterically after seeing her brother lying unconscious in front of her eyes.
"Sister! Why, sis?" Seruni and Lightning were shocked and they shouted.
