Sasas

This morning he had taken a bath, put on a gift from Lana's mother, and sat down next to the grandmother who was writing.

Her nose from earlier the kembis kissed the ends of the hair that gave off the fragrant aroma of flowers. After shampooing with my mom's shampoo. Hihihi .. Don't say it, yes. It's our secret.

"Sasa ... was shampooing with whose shampoo?" Mom who was ironing suddenly turned her head. "Mama knew."

Ow. .. It turns out my mom knew what she was doing. Hmm, approximately ... what is it, that my mother cannot know? Because all this time, mama can know all the things (not good) they do.

Including when the Umay bang secretly hid dirty pants full of mud in the back of the closet. Or when bang Umay pranks on burning Miie's whiskers - the cat first-. Even when the Umay bang dropped the curtain on the congregation at the mosque because of prayer while joking. Mama can know.

Hmm ... Does mom have superpowers? Like ... can read the minds of children for example. Or can you see through walls?

"Sasa shampoo is up?" Mom looked at him with great attention.

He shook. "Sasa pingin wear shampoo Mama," he whined. "From fragrance ...."

Mom smiled. "But it can make Sasa's hair tangle. Want ... Sasa's hair turned into the hair of mothers like Mama?"

He immediately nodded. "You want! Let Sasa's hair be fragrant, silky, ox-like Mama's hair ...."

Mama shook her head. "Tomorrow Sasa's own shampoo, yes. Don't shampoo an adult."

He frowned. Gobbling cereal in a big mouthful. Enjoy the delicious taste of chocolate and milk that blend in the mouth.

Yesterday afternoon, mama and bang Icad came home with a bag of full swipes. One of them is the cereal that is being eaten.

"If you wear adult shampoo .. later Sasa's hair can be like Grandma's hair," murmured the grandmother while fixing the sagging glasses.

He immediately laughed. "Ih! No white hair!"

"Eat him using his own Sasa shampoo," continued the mother. "If Sasa is already big .. new can use adult shampoo."

He went back to hearing my mother's advice.

"Which book?" With only a towel wrapped around his waist and hair drenched, bang Umay walked over.

"It." Mama handed me the newly ironed shirt.

"Thank you." Bang Umay shot straight into the room.

"Why, anyway, are people so busy?" Comment while drinking the remaining milk directly from the bowl.

"Enaaak ..." his sigh was relieved after the milk in the bowl was gone. "Where are you going? Want to go, for sure?"

The well-dressed Bang Icad, emerged from the kitchen while carrying a bowl of porridge. And sit next to him. "Great kid's way."

"Well, can you come?"

Bang Icad shook his head. "Boss at home."

He returned to scowl. "Follow, I'm."

Bang Icad just ruffled his hair.

"Sasa at home accompany Mama," answered the mother while pulling the iron cable. Then fold the cloth that has just been used for the base.

"What is Umay coming with?" The accusation was when Umay bang out of the room. Also well dressed as if people were going to leave.

"Follow, dong," continued Umay's bang who snatched his used bowl. Then move into the kitchen. "Well, the cereal's up. Who is lying?"

As the only person who consumed cereal, he giggled in the living room. The cereal is delicious, anyway. The taste of chocolate and milk is better than the cereal he once bought at the school front brothers.

"Breakfast porridge, May," exclaimed grandma. "Take it on the stove. That's Grandma cooking rumbi kanji porridge."

"Are we both equally as good?" The protest did not accept. "Kok bang Umay can come along ... but Sasa is not?"

"Have a son!" Shouts bang Umay from the kitchen. "In this house that leaked only you doang, Sa. Other big boys including me."

He sulks. "Sasa wants to come."

That's when someone knocked on the door and said hello.

"Please come in, Mr. Agus." Mom invited her guests in. "Wait a minute. The kids still have breakfast."

The person called Mr. Agus nodded. "Good, Mom."

But before sitting on the chair, Mr. Agus first handed him a brown bag. "This ... there is a deposit for Neng Sasa ...."

He who was pouting because he wanted to come, immediately sparkled to see the brown bag that was offered by Mr. Agus.

But he remained silent, did not immediately receive the bag. I have not received permission from my mom or grandma.

"Come," the nod of grandmother made him rise swiftly. Then take the brown bag from Mr. Agus' hand.

"Thank you." He blushed in shame. I feel happy every time I get a gift.

"Together." Agus smiled widely. "Yes, there is a message ... new bags can be opened with Neng Sasa .. if Mr. Agus has left."

He who was caught peeking at the contents of the bag increasingly blushed embarrassed. Then sit next to the Icad. While the mother who had gone to the kitchen, now has appeared while carrying a tray containing a cup of warm sweet tea and setoples cake nastar.

"Please drink it first."

"Thank you, Mom."

He sat down and hugged the brown bag tightly. Listening to my mother and grandmother talking to Agus. Pay attention to the Umay bang that devours kanji pulp with a big mouthful until it chokes. Then giggled because bang Icad tickled his waist.

As soon as Icad bang, Umay bang, and Agus sir left, he immediately opened the brown bag. And was amazed as soon as he saw the contents.

"What's it say?" Grandma also wanted to know.

He showed me a stack of storybooks with radiant faces. "Book, Grandma."

"I lo ve yo u, Dad ...." He began to read the title one by one. "I lo ve yo u, Mom .... Little friend .... The perfect cake .... WOW? Much, Grandma ...."

Grandma smile. "Alhamdulillah."

"We count yes, Grandma." He started counting the number of books in the chocolate bag. "One ... two .. ti .. ouh ...." A card tucked between piles of books suddenly dropped.

"What's that?" Grandma took the card from the floor. Then hand it to him.

"For ... Sasa .. which .. beautiful ...." He smiled happily as he read the first line. "Congratulations ... read .. from om Ta ...."

"JEAYYY!" He immediately cheered with excitement knowing who sent the books. "Get me a gift from Tama!"

"MAMA!" Then he ran to see my mom in the kitchen. He wanted to show his newly acquired treasure to his mother.

Umayyad

"Where are we going, Bang?" He asked the same question until he got bored. And Icad's bang answer was just shrug.

"Know."

He threw a glance at the side window. Look at the traffic they are going through. With their hearts still wondering where they were going.

He also remembered. The night before going to bed, she called him into the room.

"Tomorrow morning .. om Tama would like to take Umay and bang Icad."

He smiled widely. I was happy when I heard the name called. "Same Mama?"

Mama shook her head. "Umay alone with bang Icad."

"Sasa?" He glanced at the sleeping Sasa.

Mama shook her head again. "Sasa at home."

"Sasa likes it the most." He deplores. "Sasa would be angry if he knew Umay same bang Icad want to meet om, but not invited."

Mama just smiled. "It won't get angry. Mom will tell you why."

He still watched the street through the side window. But curiosity comes back. "Why do you want to see us, Bang?"

"Know."

"Why don't you pick us up at our house, Bang?"

"Know."

"Why just the two of us, Bang? Mama Sasa didn't come?"

"No idea, Umay." Bang Icad looked annoyed at his disappointment.

But he still has one more question. And this is the most important. "Om having a crush on mommy, Bang?"

***

Icad

The man clearly had a god-level ability. In addition to being able to catch his actions while eavesdropping and recording conversations, the man also managed to make mama laugh happily in front of a number of fabrics that were being exhibited on the 24th floor. A really tough opponent, slippery like an eel, not easy to beat back.

So when Umay asked, "Om having a crush on mommy huh, Bang?"

He instantly realized. That they should have a strategy in dealing with the man. Do not let Umay smooth the path of the man easily.

"You think?" He asked back.

Umay smiled to himself. "I can see there is lightning in the eyes of om .. trus his lightning turns into arrows .. which penetrates into the eyes of mama."

He immediately grumbled. "Nhd!"

Umay was still smiling to himself. "If you have a crush on mom ... could be our dad, dong?"

He glared annoyed. "Our father is one. And not that om!"

"Next there don't have to talk a lot." He began to tell me what to do. "If not asked, don't talk. It's diem."

"Why can't that much talk?" Umay looked at him not understanding.

"Yes .. just don't have much to say." He returned to grumbling. "What's important, by the way. Answer as necessary."

Now just hope, Umay doesn't screw things up.

Tama

He smiled when he saw the car driven by Agus appeared in the basement parking of a Mall.

"What's up, hotshot?" He asked me to raise five. Umay welcomed the joy even to the point of jumping. While Icad is lazy-style.

"Eat, play, watch?" As they entered the elevator.

"Main!" Umay raised his right hand high.

While Icad remained with his flat face.

While occasionally joking (which only Umay responded to), he led them to the playground. Buy three cards at once. Then give one each to Icad and Umay.

They walked around the playground crowded with visitors. Several times Umay chuckled in awe, as he watched people pick up prize tickets that splashed out from inside the machine.

"What do you want to play, huh?" He followed the footsteps of Umay who went around to and fro. While Icad tailed behind in the style of ogah-ogahan.

"That!" Umay pointed to the air hockey game.

He nodded. They need to be in line before they start playing. During that time, Umay noticed the person who was playing carefully.

"Two to one?" He began to position himself opposite Icad and Umay.

Umay smiled broadly. Get ready while holding the mallet (handle). Icad was standing behind Umay.

Round 1's.

He and Umay began racing to insert a yellow hockey pin into the opponent's goal.

"YES! OW HELL!" Umay yelled every time his attack was held back and failed to insert a pin.

Round 1: Umay lost.

"Again?" He immediately pulled the prize ticket that was scattered out. Then raise his card before swiping back to the air hockey machine.

Umay. "Again."

"Icad want to play?" He offers it to Icad who just stands watching. But Icad shook his head.

Round 2's.

This time, Umay is more experienced. Nimbly blocking each throw. To then strike back.

"YEE!" Umay jumped in excitement for a moment after defeating him.

They go back around. Umay ran to and fro checking one game at a time that was exciting.

"Bicycle racing." Umay pointed to the MotoGP game.

But this time he asked Icad to be a co-star. "Om take the phone first." The pretext while showing a mobile phone vibrating sign of incoming calls.

From a distance, Umay and Icad look up together while playing in Formula 1 car racing games, water war, shooting arcade, and claw dolls.

"Get the doll?" He who had finished business on the phone walked over.

"Difficult, Om!" Umay. "Failed continues. I'd like to get a little pony doll for Sasa."

He looked into the game box claw doll. "The purple one?"

Umay. "Yes, little pony's purple."

"Later to buy," he answered confidently. Then pointed to arcade street basketball. "Would you try that one?"

Umay nodded with excitement. While Icad is still the same, put on a flat face not interested. Though it could laugh when playing both Umay. But as soon as he approached, Icad again put on a stiff face suit.

Okay, take it easy, buddy.

Umay started throwing basketballs into the ring blindly. Until time runs out, almost all throws miss.

"This is how." He practiced how to get the correct basketball into the ring. "Focus in the direction of reflection."

And .. brakk! His throw in a perfect round, nobody misses. And the sound of the gift tickets scattering out made Umay look at him in amazement.

"Third, yok!" Icad and Umay play together. Because the street basketball arcade next to them happens to be empty. Suitable for three people.

BRACKET! BUGS! BRACKET! BUGS!

The sound of basketball colliding with the ring and bouncing on the wall sounds simple. Accompanied screams of annoyance Umay every time his throw misses.

1, 2, 3, 4 ... He deliberately relaxed the game. Throwing without seeing the ring. And when time runs out ....

"WOW? Brother kereeen ...." Umay looked amazed to see the perfect score printed by Icad. "Om lose! The brother won!"

He thumbs up. "Who was, dong ... Brother Icad!"

They returned to the game arena. Let Icad and Umay choose the desired arcade game.

"Will we play?" As Icad and Umay finished the last game.

Umay. Icad.

He saw the right wrist. "Okay, last time we ate .. want to play that?"

Umay jumped up in excitement when he saw the Bumper Car arena he appointed. "YES!"

Umay with his style, driving bumper car while sitting there. Hit everyone in the game arena. Even stuck in the corner hitting the pole.

While Icad more flexible. Drive the bumper car around the game arena without ever crashing.

From the bumper car arena, they rushed towards the souvernir changing table. Because of the number of prize tickets obtained, Icad and Umay can choose each of the desired souvernir.

Icad picks up the tumbler, Umay points to lego, and they both agree to choose a hairpin for Sasa.

What a sweet brother.

"What do you want to eat?" He began to name a number of restaurants that children might like.

Umay called for the name of the franchise restaurant from Japan deftly. While Icad just kept silent.

"That's it, Om. I've never been" Umay added with a glowing face. "If the chickens have ever been though kw, hehehehe ...."

Now they are at a very comfortable table. A little privacy because it's not too close to people.

He sat facing Umay who was busy composing lego. And Icad who read the menu book even though they have ordered.

"Thank you, I'm gonna find you here." He began to open the conversation.

"Together, Om," replied Umay cheerfully. While Icad keep a close eye on the menu book.

"Eat first" he said because their order was delivered.

Icad eats in silence. While Umay ate voraciously while occasionally answering his dime questions.

"Om having a child in Surabaya." He came back talking seriously after all the slippery dishes. "Your age, Cad."

Umay looked at him in wonder. "If Om has a child .. means a wife, dong?"

He laughed when Icad elbowed Umay.

"Yes." Yeah." He nodded. "Ult used to have a wife."

"Have you? That now?" Umay asked back. And Icad again elbowed Umay's arm.

"Now no more." He smiles. "Om separated from Om's wife."

Umay looked at him not understanding.

"Om's wife and son live in Surabaya." He went back on. "Later sometime .. I hope you can meet the same Reka ...."

"That guess .. Om's son?"

Icad again elbowed Umay who always wanted to know.

"Yes, Design the Om." He smiles.

"Om why can you split up, Om? Ow hell! You're knocking your feet, anyway?" Umay turned his head towards the glaring Icad.

He laughed. "Because Om never made a mistake. That's why I failed."

Umay's eyes are breaking. "Disguised? Failed it? Meanin? Ow hell! Brother don't nyubit!"

He came back laughing. "long story. You guys wanna hear?"

Umay. And Icad for the first time said, "No."

He smiles. "That's all ... You are learning from mistakes. Om trying to improve by being a better person."

Umay gawking at him. While Icad remained down.

"Om wants to get back to living a life that failed yesterday."

"Together with the new family. Who wants to accept Om for who it is."

He sighed. "Om love your mama ...."

Umay is gawking. And Icad is looking down.

"Om marrying your mama."

Umay's smile instantly flashed like the sunrise. "That's ...." Then turned to look towards Icad who knitted an eyebrow.

"I knew Om had a crush on my mom."

Icad raised his face just to glare at Umay.

He smiles. "Now ... Om ask your permission ... can Om apply for a mother to be Om's wife?"

"Can." Umay nodded steadily.

"Can't." Icad looked at him with a dislike look.

Well, the real definition of I don't like you: I like you.
