Not Just a Taste

Yusuf Pranata

...~Happy Reading~...

"Assalamu'alaikum, Umma" said a young and handsome man in a plain light blue shirt paired with black jeans and a hat that covered some of his hair.

The man immediately kissed the back of his mother's hand as he stood right in front of her. Not to forget, he also gave a pretty tight hug and kiss on his mother's head.

"Walaikumsalam, why is it so late, son?" ask the mother who had been worried waiting for the return of her eldest son.

"So, Abi's car tire leaked. So you have to wait for the mechanic first," Not the boy who answered, but a middle-aged man who was none other than Mike.

"Can't you?" asked the woman with her innocent face to make the two men in front of her back in an anxiety with the attitude of the woman.

"Most hit by nails, Umma," replied the grown-up boy smiling.

"Yusuf, that's not what Umma meant. How could the car's tires leak, wasn't it before Abi you left for the airport, everything was checked?" obviously the woman who is none other than Umma Chila.

Ilyas Yusuf Pranata was the first son of Umma Chila and Abi Mike, who had just returned from Cairo. Somehow Joseph arrived to advance his return, whereas previously he had said that he would go home in one week again.

"Because of his nails on the Road, honey. At home is still fine, besides the nail does not ask permission first when it wants to damage the car tire. So, Abi did not know," replied Abi Mike smiling and instantly getting a small snort from his wife.

"Umma, where is the Caliph? Maira's home too?" asked the man named Yusuf as he pulled his suitcase and invited his parents to enter the house.

"Maira, maybe the day after tomorrow because there are still some tasks he said. Khalifa is asleep, tired of her because it's her first day" replied Umma Chila as she sighed heavily.

"First day?" Joseph frowned and looked at his mother as if he did not understand.

"Yes, the guest just arrived this afternoon. Because he wanted to pray Isya, he suddenly cried," said umma Chila again remembering when her daughter did not take ablution water because of stomach pain.

And it's true, it turns out that Khalifa has only monthly guests. General, a girl even friends of Khalifa's friends came to guests when entering Junior High or second grade, while Khalifa was a little late, because he had just arrived guests when he had stepped on third grade Junior High.

"Yet, you just gave me an impromptu news like a round tofu passing in front of the cottage," said umma Chila a little upset to her son.

How not upset, Yusuf said he would go home next week, but it turns out his husband arrived to get a phone call that now Yusuf was at the airport at eight.

Therefore, Abi Mike immediately went to pick up Yusuf at the airport.

"Umma turns out to know Round too huh?" yusuf chuckled as he hugged his umma from behind.

"You who have lived in Cairo for a long time, you know what, cook Umma who here does not know, hemm!" answer umma Chila a little grunt.

"It's night, don't discuss the round tofu continues. Yusuf, you must be tired too, go in the room."

Joseph nodded his head while releasing his embrace of umma.

"Good night, Umma, Abi," said Joseph again kissing the backs of his parents' hands, before he finally went into his room.

"What about Eleena?" abi asked Mike to open his voice when he did not see the whereabouts of his son.

"He's already in his room, probably asleep. Come on, Abi is also sleeping," invite umma Chila directly to hold her husband's hand and invite him to the room.

"Say, you miss me, don't you?"

"Astaghfirullah, Abi. Already old, inget the child, do not this?" pekik umma Chila was surprised when her husband suddenly lifted her body and brought her into the room.

Her husband looked cold, and rarely spoke. He always kept his authority in front of everyone. However, if it had been the two of them, he would have turned into a male figure that was very different from usual.
