" What do you want to say?", I asked after stopping the activity.
" Dek, you want to know how you feel about Brother?" he said.
" Ooh, I think his brother is nice, and polite and simple, even though he is from the upper class, but he wants to relate like family with us" I said with a smile on his face.
" So, how does it feel to you?", he asked.
" What feeling does bang mean?", I asked.
" Abang to the point, will you open a new page with Abang?, get married and live together forever", he said.
I was speechless, to be honest, I was still waiting for someone who had been waiting for me for a long time, but I did not yet know the certainty of his feelings or thoughts about our relationship.
During this time we only communicate occasionally through WhatsApp or messenger.
" How come bang, honestly I'm not ready to get married, but can we just live this relationship like running water?", I asked.
" Will you hang your brother?", he asked.
" Ga bang, it's just, my heart is not ready for marriage, you know what the problem is, because of my past with the late bang Izal, which traumatized me and had to be more careful in choosing a partner", kataku.
" Ooh!, yes deck, Brother understands with good feelings, does adek not feel comfortable with Brother?", he asked.
" All this time, I've been comfortable with Brother, it's just that my heart is not ready, and I promise, if I can establish my heart to remarry, I'll tell Brother ", I promise you ", I said while smiling at him.
" Alright deck, then want to adej, Abang will wait until adek want to open his heart to Abang" he said.
" Ma!", call Syifa while waving her hand.
I also returned his hand.
" What's the reason you want to marry me?", I asked.
" I'm amazed by the sincerity of your heart, your beauty, and your principles of the deck" she said.
" There's someone I know who's prettier and nicer than me, that's the girl behind you" I said.
I'm surprised, bang Zain doesn't turn back one bit.
" Why don't you look back?", I asked curiously.
" Love will not look at another's heart and face, only you in my heart" she said, looking at me with loving eyes.
I was silent at his words. How did he know the answer to the question I asked, did he hear that word often?, I asked in my heart.
" Please enjoy the food and drinks, ma'am", said the waiter who delivered our order.
" Thank you deck" I said.
After the servant left the gazebo where we were sitting, I called him my children.
" Habib", call me because he's a little close to our gazebo.
" Yes ma", he said.
" Call your brother and sister for lunch son" I said in a loud voice.
" Yes ma", he said as he passed near Syakira and Syifa.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the gazebo.
" Let's eat baby, it's hungry, right?" I said.
" Yes ma, Sifa is hungry!, I want to sit close to Zain aja ma" he said.
" Alright baby, but don't bother Zain mkaan ya son!", I said.
" Oce ma!", he said, smiling at me.
We ate the food and drink that was in front of us.
After we were full, we took a break.
" Where are we going?" asked Syakira.
" We go to Simarsayang yuk om, I wonder what Simarsayang is like" Syakira added.
" Don't go there brother, said my friend Simarsayang where people date, many sins" said Habib keceplosan.
" Which friend is talking about the deck?", asked Syakira.
" My schoolmate is my sister, he said his brother brought his girl to Simarsayang to date there, as the story goes" Habib said again.
" Emabg ni kiddo, small already know a lot, while aja ga tau, do not know what dating is?", he asked while pinching Habib's nose.
" Well you know, sister, the courtship is like my mom and Zain" he said with a laugh.
" Idih nih kabak ma, ngagetin continue his talk, aja aja ma ma same girl Bonengan in his class ma, let kapok ", said Syakira while pinching her nose again.
" Don't kid, you'll be in pain and pinching her nose" said I broke.
" Hore.mama same om Zain pacalan" Syifa said instantly.
We laughed at his words.
" Don't say that, son, mom and Zain are just friends" I said straighten out.
" Well, I failed to have a new father" Syifa said.
" Will Shifa want Zain to be Syifa's father?", asked Zainal.
" Want dong om, om Zain is good and dear to Syifa" said Syifa while smiling at him.
I just kept quiet hearing Syifa's words, because I knew that Syifa was still a child and did not understand anything, and her passionate desire to have a father, made my heart sad, because it can't make him happy.
" Where are we going?" asked Syakira.
" Yes ma, we go there aj, but we will not bring a change of clothes!", said Syakira.
" It's quiet later mama buyin near her water park clothes for bathing all thirty-five thousand, so you can take a bath, how?", I asked.
" Okay ma, let's go" Habib said as he moved from his seat.
" Eits, wait a minute, ask Zain first donk, agree or ga!", I said.
" How about om, om agree do we go to the water park?", refer Habib to bang Zainal.
" Well, Bib, I agree!", he said with a smile on his face.
" Hooree!, we take a pool bath" Syifa said as she cheered.
We rushed to the parking lot. While bang Zainal to the cashier table to pay our food bills.
A few minutes later, Bang Zainal was already in the parking lot. After opening the car door, we rushed into the car.
After we had sat quietly, bang Zainal turned on his car engine and drove it at medium speed towards the waterpark Batunadua.
A few minutes later, we arrived in front of the Batunadua waterpark.
After parking the car to the parking lot that has been provided by the owner of the waterpark. We got out of the car and walked together to the entrance of the water park.
" Ma, what is the swimsuit?, mama has not bought it" he said.
" Wait a minute, son, mama to the convenience store first" I said as I pointed to the convenience store I meant.
" Yes ma", he said.
" Take care of your adek", I said as I passed.
" Yes, just calm down, I will keep them here, be careful about the bright yes" said bang Zainal.
I smiled in response to his attention.
A few minutes later, I went back to where my children were waiting with some plastic wrap containing swimming banju for them.
" Ayi we enter, the entrance ticket has been bought before" said bang Zainal while holding Syifa's hand.
We rushed into the waterpark.
I gave each of my children their swimsuits.
" This is for Brother", I said, giving him a plastic bag containing boxer shorts and a thin T-shirt.
" Thank you deck, when you are confused, want to take a shower or ga, because you also do not bring a change of clothes" he said with a smile on me.
" It's a bang, thank you also because you've been willing to take us for a walk, treat us to a meal, so that makes us happy like this" I said with a smile on her face.
She smiled at me and went to the water park bathroom to change her clothes.
A few minutes later, my children had started to enter the shallow pool, because I did not allow them to go to the deep pool.
A few hours later, we finished our bath and got dressed again.
We rushed to the exit of the water park and walked to the parking lot of the car bang Zainal.
Feeling sleepy and tired, my children finally fell asleep in the car seat. Finally the Zainal bang asked me to sit in the chair beside her, so that my daughter Syifa could sleep well with her brother and sister.
I followed his wishes and moved my seat.
Bang Zainal started the car engine and drove it at medium speed towards our house in Sadabuan.
On the way, we stopped for a while at a cafe on the street. He said he'd take a break for coffee.
I just kept quiet and followed her out of the car and sat with her in the cafe.
After we sat down and ordered a drink, we chatted for a while. After the cafe waiter delivered our drinks, suddenly bang Zainal pulled my hand to get closer to her.
" What is Bang?", I asked.
" Don't sit down on the deck" he said, smiling at me.
" We must keep our distance, we are not muhrim, and we must stay away from adultery" I explained.
" Yes the deck, Abang knows it, but if it is far away, it is not good to talk" he said.
I also moved my seat a little closer to him.
After finishing our drinks, I asked her to take us home, because I was already getting uncomfortable with Zainal's stare at me.
Finally, he complied with my will to drive us home.
A few minutes later, we arrived in front of our house.
" Kira, habib, Syifa" I said, shaking their bodies one by one to wake them up.
" Yes ma", they said in a raucous voice.
" We've sampe the house dear, wake up donkz, continue to sleep in the house aja, om Zainnya want to go home!", I said.
" Yes" they said at the same time and got out of the car to the house I had opened the door.
" Sister went straight home aja deck, want to rest too" said bang Zainal.
" Yes bang, thank you very much bang", I said with a smile on her.
" Here the deck, someone wants you to talk!", he said, smiling at me.
" What's the bang?", I asked as I approached her seat.
Suddenly bang Zainal pulled my body and....
Seriate...
