Ride in Bed
Ego
“Enin mana, mang. WHERE?!! Salila ieu Aep menta nanaon, measure nitip enin!! (during this time Aep didn't ask for anything, just nitip enin). WHERE'S ENIN??!! WHERE?!!!”
Roxas tugged at the rough collar of Tirta. Rani who saw her husband being treated like that screamed hysterically for help. Neighbors near Tirta's house started to come out, seeing the commotion. Aditya soon approaches Roxas and tries to calm down his already flustered best friend.
“Xas. Don't emotion gini.”
Roxas, who was already floundering, did not listen to Aditya's words. He's getting tighter clutching the collar of Tirta's shirt. Aditya keeps trying to let go of Roxas's whimper. Rani gets hysterical and asks the neighbors for help.
“Aep.”
Roxas' focus was distracted when he heard a voice that had not been heard for a long time calling his name. Looking at the man who was standing not far from him, slowly Roxas released his grip. The man approached Roxas and hugged him.
“Mang Carna.”
“Quiet Aep. Enin same aunt.”
Roxas' anger subsided upon Karna's words. Karna or Sukarna is the husband of Lisa, the first sister of Roxas' mother. Four years ago, Lisa and Karna migrated to Kalimantan with friends from Karna. The man worked in an oil palm plantation and only now returned to the land of pasundan.
Karna took off his embrace, then took his nephew to the house that used to live in enin and Roxas. Together with Aditya and Dewi, Roxas heads towards the former enin house which is two different alleys from the house of Tirta. The two motorbikes walked slowly down the alley.
Arriving at home, Roxas immediately rushed inside. His eyes immediately looked for the existence of enin. It looks like the old woman is sitting watching a mustache movie on a flying fish television accompanied by Lisa.
“Enin..”.
Roxas rushed towards Enin and hugged her. Roxas' cry broke out as he hugged the woman he loved so much. Karna, Aditya and Dewi who had just entered, were stunned by the sight before them.
“Aya naon casep? (what's the matter?).”
“Enin.. sugan Aep moal pendak deui sareng enin (Aep kira will not see you again enin).”
Enin broke free from Roxas' embrace and wiped away the young man's tears. She also cried at how much her granddaughter cared for her.
“Aep... Karaos pisan Aep ka enin. Sing ditangtayungan ku Gusti Allah, pardoned fortune nu ageung, jodo nu sae (Aep, enin tau you love enin. May always be in the protection of God, given a lot of fortune, a good soul mate),” enin kiss Roxas forehead.
Lisa was moved to see the interaction of her mother and niece. Didn't expect the older brother's son to have now grown into a responsible youth. He still remembers, Roxas a teenager who kept crying took off his departure to Central Kalimantan.
“Auntie is sorry. The aunt who brought enin from the house of mang Tirta. Intentionally aunty did not say, let in confusion nyari enin. Si Rina was nice to hang out in the neighboring house, enin left alone, not yet fed.”
“Tos.. Lis... entos.. (already Lis, already),” enin rubbed his second child's arm that looks emotional.
“Abibi when to return to Bandung?”
“A week ago. Auntie was shocked, when she came home to know the house was sold. Forced aunt and mamang to stay at the inn first.”
“How can aunty get this house again?”
“While you know who bought this house, keep nego want to be bought again. He didn't give, but he threatened to take the case to the police, because this house is not just in the name of Enin. He agreed to sell again for the same price. Fortunately the certificate has not been reversed.”
“Alhamdulillah yes, b, still windfall. Bibi sama mamang will stay in Bandung again?”
“Iya.”
Roxas was relieved to hear Lisa's words. Moreover, his aunt and uncle will live back in Bandung. The feeling will be calmer if Enin lives with Lisa. Roxas hugged his aunt.
“Nuhun, bi. Aep nitip enin.”
“Ai Aep talking naon? Enin ibuna tea aunty. It is my duty to auntie enin. Precisely aunty who thanks Aep to replace aunty ngurus enin.”
“Eh Aep aya by kanggo enin (Aep no souvenirs make enin).”
Roxas stood up and then walked out of the house. He picked up the package hanging on the handlebar of the motor and then went back inside the house. He gave the parcel in his hand to enin.
“Ieu wajit karesep enin (this is enin's favorite wajit).”
Roxas tore off the packet and took one sweet treat. Open half the dry corn skin that wraps the wajit, then feed it on enin. Lisa was once again moved to see how her niece treated her mother.
“Alhamdulillah meni raos. Kamari oge sate bandengna meni raos (Alhamdulillah, very good. Yesterday also satay bandengnya delicious).”
“Enin hoyong deui? Ku Aep bade dipangmeserkeun (Enin want more? Same Aep to buy).”
“Lah.. tos efficient. Tos ngasaan oge enin mah tos efficient (do not, it is enough. I also thought it was enough).”
Aditya and Dewi could only be speechless seeing Roxas' attitude towards enin. Behind his silly behavior, Roxas is not only polite, but also very fond of his grandmother. Inner Aditya was flinched at the sight before him. Because of his selfishness and stubbornness, he ignored his mother. Allowing the woman who had given birth to him should resist the longing to meet him.
Seeing that Roxas had calmed down, Karna called his nephew. He invites Roxas, Aditya and Dewi to chat on the porch. They were sitting cross-legged on the floor, there was something Karna wanted to talk about to Roxas.
“Aya naon mang? (what is mang?).”
“Ep.. mamang can ask for help?”
“What's mang?”
“Please persuade your aunt. Dizziness mamang.”
“Aunt why?”
“This three-month old aunty keeps asking mamang marital again.”
“Hah??” not only Roxas, but Aditya and the Goddess were also shocked to hear him.
Karna finally told her why she asked him to marry again. Lisa and Karna have been married for twelve years, but have not had children. Lisa took pity on Karna and asked her husband to remarry, in order to get offspring. Lisa is pessimistic that she can have children, especially now she is almost forty years old.
“Puses, Ep. They want to have children, but they don't have to marry again. Mama wants to have a son from your aunt. If you are not given the same trust of God, what can you do. Mom and Aunt already have you. You son ceu Sinta, means your aunt's son also.”
“Quiet aja, mang. Later Aep try to talk to aunty.”
“Nuhun, Ep,” Karna patted his nephew's shoulder.
“Where are you now staying?” karna.
“In contract Adit.”
“Still yes, Dit. Already want to catch Aep.”
“Sama-sama, mang.”
“You stay here again atuh.”
“Ngga, mang. Aep with Adit. Here only two rooms, the danger of mun Aep in dieu (danger if Aep is here), hamper mamang child production, hahaha.”.
Aditya also heard the frontal speech of his best friend. Goddess until menoyor head bule camouflage. Because until shaking his head, long time did not meet it turns out the brain of the nephew seemed to be reduced in weight.
The conversation continues. Karna recounted his experiences while working in oil palm plantations. Four years working there, little by little he raised money to buy a house in Bandung. He also told of his plan to open a culinary business, trading chicken porridge.
“Mamang want to sell porridge?”
“Iya. The plan mamang want to sell grilled porridge, inspired by utub,” Karna chuckled.
“Wah that great idea, mang. Hopefully smooth business,” said Aditya.
“Aamiin.”
From the inside came Lisa's voice calling for her husband and the others. The woman took everyone to lunch. Karna got up from his seat and took Roxas and the others into the house. Near the television, nasi liwet, fried goldfish, tempeh and fried tofu, lalapan and sambal have been presented.
“Waduh bi, so hungry euy,” Roxas groped his stomach.
“Tayu eat first. Come neng,” Lisa gives a plate to Dewi also Aditya.
“Aya peuteuy, bi? (there is no pete, bi?).”
“Teu aya. Aya ge jengkol ngora (there are. There is also a young jengkol).”
“Moal, ah (ngga, ah).”
Unable to see the menu presented, Roxas became the first to take food. At first he wanted to feed enin first, but was rejected by the grandmother. Enin wants to eat alone. Roxas began to eat his food. He had long missed Lisa's rice.
In the midst of eating, the Goddess was bothered by the many thorns in the flesh of a goldfish. Several times the girl separated the thorns from her flesh. Aditya took a goldfish, dicuilnya meat at the top and gave it to the Goddess. He took out the fish meat again, cleaned it from the past and gave it to the Goddess again.
“Udah, Dit. When do you eat it if you take care of me mulu.”
“Ngga. Nih,” Aditya again thrust fish meat on the Goddess, making the girl's heart more lame.
🌸🌸🌸
“De.. you go home with Roxas aja, yes,” Aditya said when they want to go home.
“Where are you going?”
“You go home. Brother again duty out of the island, papa also tomorrow must go to Malang. Mom is alone at home. I want to nemenin mama.”
“Iya. For a few days I won't go back to the contract. I will nemenin mama until papa or brother come home.”
“Iya. Satisfied off kangen same mama.”
“Sometimes I know my mom. I first, yes. assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
Aditya chose to go first. He left the Goddess to Roxas. The young man chose to go home early because he missed his mother. Seeing how scared Roxas was when he lost Enin, Aditya remembered his mother. She was afraid something would happen if she saw her mother too late.
His parents' residence looked lonely when his vehicle entered the yard. Adrian's car was parked in the garage. While carrying his helmet, Aditya enters the house.
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
Bi Parmi, a domestic assistant who has worked for her family since she was a child, welcomed her arrival. The forty-year-old woman seemed happy to see Aditya coming.
“Yes for Adit. Thank God you finally came home too.”
“Where's bi?”
“Mother rest in room. Want auntie to call?”
“Do not, bi. Let alone. I want to surprise mama.”
“Siap. Adit already ate?”
“Udah, bi. I'll go to the room first.”
Aditya opened the door of his room. For a moment he looked at his room which had not changed the composition of his room since it was abandoned. Cleanliness was still awake, surely mama asked bi Parmi to clean it every day.
“New shoes aunty changed this morning. Before leaving, Rian asked his aunt to change her sheets. He said that Adit was going to stay here,” Parmi appeared from behind Aditya by bringing a cold drink for him.
“Still, bi.”
Aditya takes the glass from Parmi's hand. Aditya sat down at the side of the bed and then sipped the cold drink. The woman always remembered that passion fruit syrup was her favorite drink. After finishing the contents in half, Aditya put a glass on the table. His eyes then catch Adrian's car keys on the table. Below it was a piece of paper with the handwriting of her brother.
Take your time with your mom. Take your mama for a walk. The car is already serviced and filled with gasoline. I trust my mom with you.
The young man smiled reading a message from Adrian. His brother always prepared everything before leaving. Aditya threw his body on the bed. His hand then began to open the search field mbah gugel. He wanted to find a suitable tourist spot visited by him and his mother.
While busy surfing, Aditya's ears catch the sound of his mother talking to Parmi. The young man came out of his room. While sneaking around, he approached Ida who was in the dining room. The woman asked to be made ginger wedang by her household assistant. He was pinched as Aditya hugged him from behind.
“Astaghfirullah!” Ida turned her head, how happy she was to see her youngest child holding her.
“Adit. yes Allah.”
Ida turned her body and hugged her son. Eventually the woman was able to vent her longing on her youngest son. Ida gives a kiss on Aditya's face.
“Ma.. I'm not a child anymore.”
“Create mama, you're still a child. You brat,” Ida again kissed Aditya's forehead while picking at his ears.
“Aaaa pardon ma. mercy.”
“Sini sit by mom. Mama wants to hear your story. Your brother said you've been working at the hotel.”
“Iya, ma.”
While embracing her mother, Aditya walked towards the living room and sat down on the sofa. The young man immediately lay down and lay his head on Ida's lap. Something he never did long enough.
“What hotel do you work at?”
“Abang not a story?”
“You're rich don't know your brother. If mama asks, she says ask your own question.”
“I work at Amarta hotel, ma. Now Lita works there. I get vacancies also because of the help of Lita.”
“Lita means, Yulita? Brother's college buddy?”
“Iya.”
“How's Yulita doing now? Definitely more beautiful.”
“Iya, mom. Beautiful package.”
“Definitely your brother who asked for help with Yulita.”
“Iya.”
“How is the relationship the same brother? They dating? Lately mama often see her smile on her own while looking at her face. Her heart was exactly rich who again fell in love.”
“Masa? The real one, ma?”
Aditya was shocked to the point of waking up from his position. He was curious to hear his mother's story. His mind continued to guess who the woman who had managed to melt the iceberg of his dear sister.
“Totally. Is it possible Yulita?”
“The power is not, ma. Brother cuek-cuek only if you meet with brother Lita.”
“Udah don't talk about your brother. He's hard to guess. How are you yourself? When do you want to know your mom's future daughter-in-law?”
“Later ma, wait for certainty first. The answer is still on the list.”
“Loh how can I?”
“Iya. He still needs time to think.”
“Emang he thinks especially anyway? What less is this mama's son? handsome yes, good yes, hard worker yes, good again, less what try?”
“Luckily, ma. Hahaha.”.
“Can aja.”
“Ma.. tomorrow I work. But Thursday is off, we go for a walk, yuk. I want to buy mama. Yesterday I paid payday. Where are you going?”
“Where ya? Ooh. mama want to go to. what are the tourist attractions in Lembang. Last month the study group went there, but mama can't come with it anymore sick.”
“What's his name, ma? Tourist attractions in Lembang are many.”
“Bamboo Stacking.”
“Oh Bamboo Hamlet. Mama want to get there?”
“Bby?”
“Bby dong. I'm the abis payjian, let's go there.”
“Thank you handsome mama's boy.”
The mother and daughter's conversation came to a halt when they heard the sound of a car stopping in the yard. Aditya wants to go into the room because he knows that his papa is coming. But Ida held her child. Aditya undoes his intention as soon as he sees the trunks of his mother's head.
Ida stood up from her seat and welcomed her husband's return. The woman grabbed Toni's hand and kissed the back of her hand. Toni is quite surprised to see Aditya at home. Without saying a word, the man simply passed by the child pretending to be busy with his cell phone.
Ida followed her husband's steps towards the room. He helped take off the suit Toni was wearing. Today she attended a seminar that required her to dress neatly. While removing the tie around his neck, Toni sat herself down by the side of the bed.
“Tumben the boy home.”
“He wants to accompany mom. Must have been told to be with Ad. He is very impressed with his brother.”
“Ck.. no initiative at all.”
“Not initiative. But papa made him hesitate to go home. Mbok ya papa nagging. Both are stubborn, wes dizzy my head.”
Ida brought a towel for her husband. After selecting a change of clothes for Toni, the woman came out of the room. He still wants to spend time with the youngest. Toni sighed. Although at a glance, he could see Aditya's body a little thin.
Are you doing okay? Papa, how do you want to go back to this house?
