Second Pinang

Ask for a New Ghost

Dani wears her scabbard with a half conscious. Because he slept late enough, and resulted in late morning prayers. The aroma of fragrant coffee filled the kitchen room. He who has finished fulfilling his duty immediately approached the fragrance that tickled his nose.

Mamah Yuli smiled at the behavior of Dani who always liked the smell of his coffee. Only two fragrant coffee that Dani likes, namely coffee made by his mother and Inaya. The rest, will only be left to him. At the office, he did not drink OB-made coffee. He prefers to drink water. When outside? Yeah, well, he's not gonna order coffee. For him, terniknya coffee is made by Inaya and mamahnya.

Rirup ....

Dani sipped coffee so delicious that he forgot to sit down. Making Mamah Yuli pat her on the shoulder and hinting her immediately sit up with eye movements. Dani grinned and sat down quickly. Enjoy black coffee with a blend of two sugar spoons. Bitter and sweet able to combine into one pamper his taste senses.

"Mamah's coffee is the best!"

"Well open a coffee shop, how about it?" the Canda Mamah Yuli.

Dani laughed at his mother's request. "Later Dani has a meeting with the head father, Mah. So, it's a little late. Don't wait for me to eat. When you're hungry, just eat with the kids."

"Let's go, spirit yo Nang kerjane!" (Yes, the spirit is working!)

"Thank you dear Mama. Dani didn't know what to return the favor to Mamah by." Dani tries to tease Mamah Yuli by making small talk.

Mamah Yuli smiled meaningfully, and Dani knew for sure her mother would ask for something. "Seek what, Mah?"

"Hi-hi-hi, ask for a new ghost, okay?"

Dani rolled her eyeballs lazily and clucked. "That again! Already ah, Dani wants to take a shower! Anyway, Mah, I'm old, 45 years old, lost to the young."

Dani left the dining table and headed straight for her room to prepare for a bath before she heard the answer from her mother.

"Who said? Nowadays, sugar daddy is the most in demand!" mamah Yuli shouted in a giggle.

Dani laughed when she heard it. Where does he know such a term. You're Mamah Yuli!

Aidha had finished her bath and was getting ready to wear her school uniform. He is now in the second grade of Junior High. He was about fourteen years old. Seven years with his brother, Salwa. His school was pretty close to home, so he chose to use a bicycle instead of his papa.

Aidha wears a thin powder and lipbalm so that his lips do not crack. Do not forget to also wear baby lotion on his hands and feet. Keeps skin moist. He began to comb his curly hair and then piggyback the horse. Wear an instant hijab and spray a little perfume on the right, left, and wrist sides of the neck.

Now he's ready. It was immediately down for breakfast before her grandmother shouted from below. He grabbed the bag on his desk chair and walked out of the room. Passing with Salwa who is still not ready.

"Bak, please Salwa! Salwa skirt zipper can not go up. Take this shirt. Please, lelin?" rengek Salwa who had started to rile because he had not managed to solve the problem.

Aidha only saw him in silence and left him. It made Salwa's heart even more irritated.

"Ih, Ma! Help Salwa, dong!" salwa said in a tone so upset that Aidha remained unmoved. Make her despair and cry.

Dani heard the sound of Salwa crying straight out of the room. Confirm the state of his son and find out the cause of Salwa's crying.

"Why are Papah's children crying?" dani hugged Salwa.

"Sir Aidha, Pah. Salwa's asking for help but she's a bitch!"

"Cup-cup-cup, already. Help what, Nduk? Here Papah help."

Salwa showed me her skirt zipper. Dani tried to help him. The zipper got stuck because it got stuck in the top fabric. With all his strength Dani tried to pull the zipper towards the bottom and managed to remove the stuck cloth. Salwa being happy not playing. He immediately returned to prepare for his room.

"Thank you, Pa. Wait for Salwa, Pa? Salwa lightning is ready Pa," said Salwa. Dani smiled and nodded.

The dining table is ready to welcome the residents of his house. Aidha had eaten his breakfast without waiting for another. Dani came down and joined him.

"Dha, why was his sister crying?" ask Dani. Aidha simply shrugged his shoulders in response to the question.

"Well, ask me again, why is Salwa crying?"

"No need to pretend not to know, Pah," cynical Aidha

Dani pulled out a chair and took the bread. Grease it down pineapple jam then read the do'a and bite it.

"So, she's the one who made me die!" Aidha took a sip of her hot chocolate milk.

"It's not Salwa's fault, Dha! Be warmer than a sister to her sister!" Dani raised her voice. I hope Aidha listens to him.

"Aidha never asked for a sister! Don't scream! My ears are normal!" Aidha carries her bag away from the dining table.

Mamah Yuli who saw the small commotion could only be privileged. Hoping that his grandson's anger could soon subside. While Salwa heard everything, even though she was a child but she knew how it felt to be unwanted. Mamah Yuli tried to encourage her second granddaughter. Hope the disappointment that has already appeared can be lost.

Dani takes Salwa to school. He was more silent and looked out the car window.

"Smart school, Nduk. Same with the teacher. Later he was picked up by Mr. Kus," said Dani gently rubbed the top of Salwa's head.

Salwa just nodded. Then shake Dani. Entering the school with a gloomy face.

A woman in a dark blue hijab covering her chest aligned her steps with Salwa. Patting Salwa's shoulder so that it made him squealed in shock.

"Assalamualaikum, Salwa!" greet the woman cheerfully.

"Eh, hail waalaikum Miss Disa! Salwa who thought that was! You're surprised to know, Mom!"

"Ha-ha-ha, I'm sorry? Why glum?" tanya Disa pulled Salwa's hand to sit in front of the classroom terrace.

Salwa initially just kept silent not answering. His eyes were blank straight ahead. Disa is increasingly confused by the state of her students.

"So unwanted people are painful huh, Mom?"

Disa raised her next to her eyebrows. Turning his head towards Salwa to look at the expression of the seven-year-old boy.

"meaning?" ask Disa.

"Mbak Aidha, Salwa did not want to have a sister, Mom. He said Salwa caused my mother to die. What is it, Mom?" salwa asked innocently.

Silence could not answer Salwa's question because she did not know the truth of the matter. He smiled at Salwa.

"Sal, a death is a real destiny but it is still a secret to us. Allah SWT is the owner of the decision. Don't blame yourself. I'm sure, you're not the cause," said Disa can only provide a little motivation.

Kriei ....

"Tuh, get in there!"

Salwa nodded and entered her class. While Ms. Disa headed to the teacher's room to pick up teaching and learning materials today.

***

In the afternoon, at exactly three Disa arrived at a house located in Wiku Park. An elite housing estate in the city area. A middle-aged wearing a negligee and a head covering snail opened the gate for him.

He greeted her with courtesy and cheerfulness. He is welcome to enter because it has been awaited by the owner of the house. He nodded and followed his steps.

"Dad, ustazah e sampun rawuh," (Dad, the Ustazah has come,) said ART.

Mamah Yuli turned her head along with Aidha and Salwa. "Assalamualaikum," said Disa.
