Ride in Bed
The Prospective Sister of Ipar
Ida rushed out of the room as soon as she heard the sound of her youngest child. With a sumringah smile, she greeted Aditya who had just entered the house. The woman hugged the child who left the house a year ago.
“How are you doing baby?” ask Ida as soon as her embrace unravels.
“Alhamdulillah my beautiful mother. Your son is still healthy walafiat.”
“But you're cursing,” Ida groped Aditya's jaw.
“But stay handsome right, ma?”
“Flat. This mother's son is still handsome. Have you eaten yet?”
“Not yet. I am laper ma,” Aditya said in a potent tone.
“Come eat first.”
Ida immediately led Aditya to the dining table. Aditya eyes sparkling to see the dishes presented at the table is his favorite menu. Ida did deliberately cook Aditya's favorite food, so Adrian told that his sister was coming. From morning, the woman continued to wait, until finally the awaited came in the afternoon.
Aditya sits himself in a chair. Ida quickly brought food for him. It feels like he was feeding his son if he does not remember that his youngest son is now an adult. Three months ago he had just had his twentieth birthday. Aditya distance with Adrian is indeed four years adrift.
Ida shrank the puddle of water in the corner of her eyes when she saw Aditya greedily eating her homemade cooking. His heart is sad to remember every day his son may rarely find good food. Sometimes he leaves money on Adrian to give to Aditya but is always rejected by him. The reason is simple, he does not want to accept the money given by his mother which incidentally comes from the father.
“Abang has come home?” aditya's question breaks the woman's daydream.
“Already. He's in his room again. You do not have to go again, back to live in this house, yes,” refer Ida.
“Ngga. I'm just here to get my brother's bike. Said his motor brother was entrusted to me.”
“Why don't you ever want to give me a mama gift? Mama can buy you a new bike if you want.”
“Udah is quite a big brother, still good too. New dipake two years.”
Ida refused to hear the child's answer. Aditya was too stubborn, he chose hunger instead of having to accept the money given from him. Luckily Adrian did not close his eyes and continued to help his sister.
“When are you back home?” ida sounded sad.
“I'll be home if it's a success, ma. Mama don't be sad dong, pray that your son succeeds in achieving his goals and proving to papa that his choice is not wrong.”
Aditya wiped away the melted tears, soaking Ida's cheeks that had begun to tighten again her skin. Actually he could not bear to see his mother sad, but this was his life choice. If he came home, then his father would laugh with satisfaction and consider himself a loser.
“Ma.. later I come here again same prospective mother.”
“Calon mantu? Do you have a girlfriend?”
“Boyfriend doesn't have. But if the prospective agent exists.”
“What's his name? Which guy? Mama knows no?”
“Mama custom if nanya wholesale. Later I will know ma, if he has agreed to be my future makmum.”
“Emang now he has not agreed?”
“Not yet. New guy pedekate hahaha.”.
“Basic.”
Ida patted her son's arm. Aditya immediately finished his meal, he wanted to meet Adrian immediately to report the results of his meeting with Yulita this morning.
“Ma.. I went to brother's room first.”
“Iya. Uh, you want mama to bring you some food?”
“Ngga. In my place there is no refrigerator, baby later even not kemakan.”
After washing his hands, Aditya immediately headed to the room of the older brother who was beside his room. For a moment he looked at the door of the room he used to occupy. There was a longing to re-occupy the room, but in order to prove himself before the father, he resisted the urge.

“Log.”
As soon as he heard the voice of the elder brother from inside, Aditya immediately opened the door. For a moment the man was silent looking at Adrian who was bare-chested. His brother was like he was observing some part of his body. Aditya then walked over to the older brother. He saw bruises on Adrian's arms, back and chest.
“Abang why? Abis fight?”
“Ngga.. was about training, partner sparing.”
“Emang opponent And how many got bruised gini.”
“Children.”
“Hah?”
“This please tempelin.”
Adrian pushing pain reliever koyo on Aditya. Quickly the young man attached the koyo at the bruising points earlier. His brain immediately worked when he heard that his brother's sparing partner was a novice student.
“Sparing partner brother, girl yes?”
“Hmm.”
“Sure brother has a crush nih.”
“Sok tau.”
“Ck.. don't need a high IQ for beginners. Brother was not a sparing partner but a living samsak for him. And must be a really special girl until my brother wants to sacrifice like this.”
Adrian did not agree but did not deny it. Only her faint smile was imprinted on her face. Seeing that, Aditya grew more and more convinced by his guess. He was more excited to tease his sister.
“So curious, who is the girl who has been able to make my brother's heart freeze to melt gini.”
“Lebay.”
“Not more, but reality. I am the type of person who has trouble falling in love. And the woman who has made my brother fall in love must be special. Except for Ara, yes.”
There was a keki tone Aditya when he mentioned the name of the former woman adjaan the older brother. Adrian only replied with ruckus. The man grabbed the shirt from inside the closet and then put it on.
“Bang.. ssttt..”
“What?”
“Who's the girl? Minimum name deh.”
“Ngga need overthink deh. He also does not necessarily have the same feeling brother.”
“Weh time brother does not pede anyway? Brother tuh handsome, pinter, must be a lot of girls who are klepek-clepek same brother. But there is a lack of one. Brother is less smile, face try glued to the machine bit, do not stiff rich plywood. So who's bang? Want me to help you, no?”
“Kepo. Take care of your own life.”
“Weh if I don't ask. I deliberately take the motor now, because later want to take the road brother-in-law sister-in-law.”
“Emang she wants to be with you?”
“Verbally not yet. But nonverbally udah.”
“But make no mistake, sometimes we mistakenly translate nonverbal messages because not necessarily our perception is the same as the messenger.”
“Yes bang, very demen matahin heart adeknya.”
“Hahahaha..”
Adrian embraces Aditya's shoulder and takes his sister out of the room. They walked towards the garage which was covered by a rolling door to pick up the motor stored there.
“Abang already take it to the workshop for servicing and oil change. The gasoline is also fully loaded. You just use.”
“Wah thank you, bang.”
“How about your contract?”
“Tonight I want to pay. As per my brother's instructions, I immediately paid for three months. But tomorrow I start sleeping there. There is no mattress.”
“You want to buy mattresses and other furniture?’
“Ngga. I'd like to take my future teacher aja.”
“Modus.”
“Biarina. His name is also kusaha.”
Their conversation came to a halt when they heard the sound of a car entering the yard. Without seeing it, Aditya already knew that the father had just arrived. The young man had no desire at all to meet his father. He remained in the garage, waiting for his father to enter the house.
“Bang, I'm leaving, yes. Thanks for everything. Greetings to mama. Sorry me, no part.”
“Ngga ah. I have to keep the mood before I meet your sister-in-law. I'm going yes, bang. Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
Aditya pushed the motor out of the garage. After heating the motor briefly, the young man immediately left the residence of his parents riding the motor given by the older brother. Toni who saw Aditya's departure from behind the window glass was only able to let out a long sigh. Ida who was not far from him could only stare with a sad face. Both men are stubborn and do not want to lower their ego, making the relationship never improve even though a year has passed.
🌸🌸🌸
Since we drove Adrian home, Dewi just locked himself in the room. The mood is still not improving even though the situation has returned to calm. Nenden himself chose to let it go. Adrian told me everything. He felt lucky that his son's homeroom teacher arrived on time and was able to calm the child.
Actually, Dewi had begun to let go of the father, but watching the re-enactment of the scene triggered his sadness and anger. But he was quite satisfied to be able to vent his emotions a little on the two criminals. Then he remembered what he had done in the dojang.
Adrian is nothing? Who told him to be a living samsak, bomatalah. But pity also yes, surely his body also hurts. Ah he must be fine, that kind of blow nothing for him. But.aah I'm not so good gini anyway.
The goddess continued to monologue with her heart. On the one hand he felt bad about what he did to Adrian. But on the other hand, he tried not to care. Let's just say it's a response to his often annoying attitude. Not wanting to continue to be disturbed feelings of guilt, Dewi decided to contact Adrian to say thank you and sorry.
The girl moved out of her place. He walked towards his study desk, where his phone lay. Opens whatsapp application and then goes to WA group class. The list of group members then taps Adrian's unsaved number onto his phone. For a while the Goddess was still waiting for Adrian to answer his call.
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam. Eungg.. malem pack, this is with Dewi.”
"Who's goddess?"
"Goddess Mantili."
“Hmm.. What's up?”
“Ehmm. i. it.. sa.. I want to say thanks about the same sorry,” the voice of the Goddess began to shrink.
“What's the same?”
“Sorry,” reset the Goddess in a slow voice.
“What?”
“MAAF!!”
“Ngga need to shout, I do not budeg.”
The goddess breathed in as much oxygen as she could. It takes effort and a big heart to contact the homeroom teacher. He was well-intentioned to say thank you and apologies, but it turned out that the annoying man still made him an emotional soul.
“Lagian pake pretend not to hear.”
“You're sincere not saying thank you equally sorry? If you are not sincere yes do not need.”
“Bapak can not heh suudzon continue with me? Anyway thank you for that, sorry also because my father became my life samsak. It is up to you to consider it sincere or not. Anyway I told you all that, bye.. Assalamu’alaikum.”
Without waiting for Adrian to answer his greetings, Dewi immediately decided on the call. The girl breathed a rough breath while putting the phone to the table. A second later his phone clinks, a message from Adrian comes in.
From +628********** :
Waalaikumsalam
“Dih.. gaje really send a message just answer greetings doang,” muttered Dewi slowly.
TING
From +628********** :
Answering the salutation is mandatory. No need for geer.
“Aaaarrrgggghhh. My nyesel why did not make his face bonyok. Hiiiihhhhhh.
Dewi was really made anxious, upset and goiter on her homeroom. Not long after his phone came back clinking. Irritatedly snatched back the square flat object. But his face changed when he saw the name of the sender of the message.
From Lesung Pipi Beloved :
Fifteen minutes to go, get ready. Don't make a beautiful dance. I don't want anyone to enjoy your beautiful face😘😘😘
A smile was imprinted on the face of the Goddess. As fast as lightning the girl opened her wardrobe. For a while she was standing in front of the closet, still thinking what clothes were good to wear. Then the choice fell on black jeans with short-sleeved shirts that will be wrapped in a green tosca sweater. Do not forget the instant veil with a similar color to his pants.

Aditya stopped Honda Vario Adrian who has now turned into his own in front of the Haji Soleh house. After opening his helmet, the man entered the grounds of the angkot and the contract. He stopped right in front of the tightly shut door. Aditya got this contract recommendation from Roxas. And of course he immediately agreed, because it could be adjacent to the Goddess.

“Assalamu’alaikum.”

“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
A woman's voice from inside answered Aditya's greeting. Shortly after, the door opened. A middle-aged woman wearing a white bergo appeared from behind it. She is Ratna, wife of Haji Soleh.
“Mam ma'am. Father is?”
“There. Come on please log in.”
Ratna invited Aditya to come in and sit in the living room. The friendly woman rushed into the house to call her husband. Pak Soleh appeared with a body wrapped in cocoa clothes and sarongs. Aditya stood up from his seat and greeted the man.
“Nak Adit, yes.”
“Iya, sir.”
“How-how? Come on please sit down first.”
The two men of different generations sat themselves on the sofa simultaneously. Aditya had not yet expressed the intention of his arrival, Ratna appeared with two cups of warm sweet tea and then placed on the table. The woman immediately returned home, no interest in joining the conversation.
“Begini, hajj sir. My arrival to pay off the rent.”
“There's the money? If there is nothing, nothing. Just later. Don't worry, I won't throw the contract to another.”
“Alhamdulillah is there, sir.”
Adrian unzips his jacket and then pulls the envelope out of it. The young man handed him a white envelope containing the payment of the rent for three months, according to Adrian's instructions.
“This, I paid for three months, sir. DP cut, so the total is 1.9. Isn't that right, sir? Please count first.”
Pak Haji Soleh took the envelope and counted the contents inside. The man's head nodded as the appropriate amount of money Aditya mentioned earlier.
“It's fitting, Alhamdulillah. So when will it be occupied? Let it be cleaned first.”
“In Shaa Allah tomorrow morning I am here again, sir.”
“Then, tomorrow bada shubuh my employee will clean the house.”
“Thank you, hajj sir.”
“Sama-sama. Come please drink first.”
Simultaneously the two men took a cup containing tea then sipped it slowly. Sipping his tea, Haji Soleh watched Aditya. He was quite amazed by Aditya's figure. Besides being handsome, the young man was also so polite and polite in words.
“Nak Aditya work or college?”
"Work, sir."
"Where's the job?"
“At hotel Amarta, sir. Thank God, I just got accepted to work there.”
“Aalhamdulillah's. Wherever we work, do it diligently and earnestly. In Shayah Allah, the results will also be good later. Oh yes, tomorrow please prepare a photocopy of ID card. You will have to report with your local RT, if there is a new contract.”
“Any pack hajj. I'll prepare tomorrow. Then excuse me, sir.”
Aditya finished his drink before standing up from his seat. After shaking hands with Haji Soleh, the young man immediately came out of the house. He immediately climbed onto the mount without wearing a helmet, because the distance of the Soleh Hajj house with the Dewi contract is not far.
