SECOND MAHLIGAI

Chapter 5 - "White"

The handsome man looked around Aslan's house closely. His net scanned the surroundings until the eagle's eyes saw something that made both of his eyeballs twinkle sharply.

“Om, want to stop by first?” asked Aslan when the car really stopped. Appropriately 

in front of his rented house.

“Which side is your house?” asked the man still by looking at two-wheeled objects parked in a simple house painted in blue sea with a makeshift yard.

“That's blue paint, Om. Eh but it is not my home, but the contract I have with Mama for about five years,” Aslan explained with a smile.

The man who was still neat in his suit pulled the corner of his lips looking at Aslan who was smiling innocently and sincerely another with the radiance of a face that he had seen a while ago, fierce like a lion.

“This kid has a double personality like him,” his mind.

“Come Om! Now it's Om's turn to explain to Mama why I can go home without my bike like Om did to Mom and Dad Candra,” Aslan pulled the man's hand to follow him out of the car.

“Sorry Sir, but at 3 o'clock you have to arrive at the airport,” said the driver reminded.

The 185 cm tall man with white skin and black eyes typical of the Indonesian people put his head down thinking. If just saying an apology for at least ten minutes is enough, he doesn't think it will make him miss the plane. And also now it is still at 13.05 WIB.

“Just a minute. Okay Aslan?” The boy smiled while nodding.

Two men of different generations were descending simultaneously from inside the car. The woman who was waiting for the child to come home an hour ago looked in wonder, as her two beads looked at the child walking with someone familiar to her. However, he forgot where to meet the man.

“Aslan!” exclaimed the mother while running a small approach to the child.

“It turns out that my estimate is not wrong, she's the woman who made my baseball bat stand upright some time ago when with her,” the mind of a man who is none other than Nathan. The man who had been a passenger Sasi, the mother of Aslan Agam.

“What are you doing - what? Said Candra kersermempet?” sasi's question made Aslan laugh.

“One - one Mah, ask. Confused Aslan replied. Here's what will explain.”

Aslan pulled Nathan's arm so that the man explained the chronology of the incident when he played with his friends earlier.

“Khem, so look at it..”

“Loh, mas ‘kan who ever ride my online ojek service, right?” ask Sasi to make sure if the memory is not wrong alias wrong.

“So, I oh I mean driver oh not my friend just accidentally bumped into your son's friend this, and I've been responsible for our mistakes, I'm sorry.” 

Nathan was clumsy, whether this explanation was meaningful or not, he could only keep clenching his hands reducing the nervousness that suddenly struck his heart and mind. While Sasi and Aslan looked at this dashing man before them while commenting on the small smile from seeing the confusion that the man created himself.

“So friends Aslan had told Candra's mother and father, and it was Dimas who told Mama if you went to the hospital to accompany Candra,” said Sasi while wiping Aslan's head dear.

“And for you, I thank you for willing to take responsibility for mistakes that of course must have been unintentional.”

Aslan nodded as well as the man.

“Good, thank you for driving Aslan,” said Sasi with a sweet smile.

“Hati - Heart Om! Do not speed to the airport well, ntar nabrak again,” said Aslan.

“Hus! Can't say so Aslan,” insisted the mother.

Nathan just smiled and held his nape to hear Aslan's words that were more mocking than a prayer.

“Then excuse me,” Sasi and Aslan nodded while saying heart to Nathan.

“When did Mama meet that Om?” asked Asla while looking at Nathan who had passed along with his car.

“You remember when Mama told a customer who left her change?” Aslan nodded.

Sasi chuckles as Aslan scrunches her forehead, “Om that's the guy, son!” concluded Sasi.

Aslan who understood only responded to the mother's words by forming the letter O with her lips.

***

At 8:00 p.m., Aslan who had quite a lot of schoolwork was busy in his room. While the mother is still outside the house to complete her duties as an online motorcycle taxi driver. Because it was during his break time too long finally inevitably Sasi finally increased his work time after asking permission from Aslan the only child.

If Sasi and Aslan were busy with their activities, they would no longer have time to think about anything else, unlike the man who came to their house this afternoon.

He who was still thinking about what happened some time ago as well as what he faced earlier this afternoon made him unable to close his eyes. Even though tomorrow the work he will take care of and complete is quite a lot.

“I am, why the hell? Time yes to fall in love rich ABG - ABG it, ish very unstable,” he said while continuing to shake his head. Because his head and heart could not stop thinking about the woman who had made him uncomfortable to sleep at the end of this.

“So the boy said, Mahardika. Is he the grandson of Mr. Mahardika from his son, but as I recall his wife was not him during the event one year ago. Or maybe another Mahardika,” murmured while staring at the sky - the sky of her room.

Nathan the man who accidentally bumped into Aslan's best friend was thinking - thinking something he himself didn't know the answer to.

“Tomorrow I ask, Om Rudi only, he must know. How the Mahardika family was,” his murmur came back.

Given that tomorrow he has to do a lot of things, Nathan shrinks his room's cooling machine so he can fall asleep quickly. In a matter of minutes with enough difficulty finally Nathan was sound asleep with the hope of meeting someone who made his heart was not calm in his dream.

“Aslan,” call the mother.

Aslan who turned out to be asleep on the desk did not answer the call of the mother who had just come from busy looking for coffers - coffers of money to make her happy. Sasi who did not want to disturb his beloved child chose to close the door again, but before he really moved Aslan delirious.

“We play yes, Pih, yuk!” aslan said, who may be dreaming.

Sasi who heard the child say the word ‘Pih’ was quite surprised, who the child meant while Aslan called his father as PAPA.
