PS 17 - Being 'And' Among Them



Ghifari house is empty. I don't know where everyone is, but I'm sure Ghifari won't take me to his house if it's completely empty. Although not as friendly as his family, however, Ghifari lived in a family that seemed to understand religion.


"Lo want to pray first?" ask, Gifari.


"Gue doesn't pray anymore" I said, honestly.


"Ah, lie." said Ghifari I know he was joking.


"Emang lo is a liar." I said.


Ghifari chuckles to hear me saying I'm a liar. He's a really weird human being. Just a liar he looks happy.


"I'll go to the room first. Wanna come?" he said, intentionally, he was dressed like that to makikum


I rolled my eyes.


"Damn, ogah. Yaudah, don't be long!" I said.


"Yes" he said, then left me alone. "Lo sat down to watch TV" Ghifari said.


I'm nodding. She goes to her room


Now I'm on my own. I forgot to ask Gifari where everyone is going. Again, I grieve my stupidity. I decided to watch tv as suggested by Ghifari despite the not so interesting tanyangannya.


Suddenly the long sofa I was sitting on felt moving. I was completely aware of the movement, then I turned my head. See who comes and sits next to me. It turns out that Ghifari's brother, Bang Haidar.


Bang Haidar smiled at me.


"Eh, Bang?" I said reflex kiss his hand. She's surprised. Again, I regret what I did.


Then Bang Haidar was back to normal. When I noticed that Bang Haidar was completely different from Ghifari. Ghifari's carrying was always relaxed and seemed unguided. But Bang Haidar pointed out otherwise. Although only a few times saw Bang Haidar but I know, Bang Haidar mature. Not like Ghifari.


"Same Ghifari?" tanyakanya.


"Eh, yes, Bang. Same Ghifari." I said while nodding.


"Where's the fifaar?" tanyakanya.


"Again to his room, Bang." I said.


Bang Haidar looked at me. The one I looked at started to get confused. I watched my clothes. There's nothing wrong. But he kept looking at me. I should have protested and asked but I would rather be quiet.


"How much money?" tanyakanya.


"21year-old, Bang." I said in reply.


As Bang Haidar wanted to open his mouth, suddenly Ghifari came. He looked at his brother in shock.


"I go in first" Bang Haidar told me not to Ghifari. Maybe it was because I was a new person so Bang Haidar was a little more polite to me.


I just nodded. After bang Haidar left. I hurriedly wanted to pull Ghifari's hand to sit beside me but again I remembered Ghifari's statement some time ago, I did not want to marry him.


"Sit around!" I said while patting the sofa beside me.


"Ck," He just clucked and obeyed my request.


There are a lot of questions I want to ask him.


"Why?" he asked while sitting right next to me. Our distance is too close. This is no good. I pushed him a little bit away. "So tell me to sit there" he said.


I could only ignore the heat just now.


"What's wrong?" I said.


"Inget this at my house. Take me-you" he said. I rolled my eyeballs.


I certainly remember that at the entrance we were still using Gue-Lo. However, I do not want to prolong business.


"So your brother nyamperin me." I said.


One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds. We looked at each other and laughed together. Laughing at the words of me and you that still feel foreign to our ears.


Ghifari looked back at me. It's not good for heart health. He waited for my words.


"So, I don't know why I saliman the same Bang Haidar." I said.


Again he was silent. This time I can't say that I'm talking wrong. He suddenly laughed, "Hahaha I'm just your future husband never been crucified, when you saliminate my brother?" said.


It's strange! It feels so strange!- my mind remembers this banquet.


Turns out he was silent because he wanted to berate me. I regret almost feeling guilty.


"Ihhh, seriously!" I said.


"Yes trus why? Is your heart degdegan pas abis salaman? Well, I'm heartbroken." she said dramatically.


"Ih, really bad." I said scowling. Anywhere laugh.


Because I can't bear to see him keep laughing at me. I also looked for another topic.


"Where else is it, Ghif?" my many.


"Don't know" said Ghifari lightly.


"Yes, what am I here for?" many confused.


At first, I thought he was bringing me here because I was going to be told to get his family's attention as usual. However, currently there was no family there was only Bang Haidar, so I was confused.


"I've heard people say that food outside can not be guaranteed health, so I bring you here for masakin I hehehe" he said.


"Hehehe-hehehe." looked at me while mimicking his style.


"You want?" ask Ghifari.


"OK." I said.


Ghifari was about to raise her hand to pinch my cheek. Suddenly, a hand blocked him. It was Bang Haidar. Instantly silent. Ghifari was silent. What the hell is it?


"Za, can you cook?" ask Bang Haidar.


I glanced at Ghifari, she just silently stared at the TV blankly, I felt confused sitting between the two of them. However, one thing is certain I have to respond to what Bang Haidar said.


"Can, Bang. Ghifari also wants some masakin, you want some too?" my many.


Bang Haidar glanced at Ghifari for a moment as I followed his gaze. Then, Bang Haidar nodded, "What do you want to cook?" ask Bang Haidar.


"What do you want, Bang? Za can be any kind of food." I asked while bragging a little. Just a little not much.


Bang Haidar smiled. "Can you cook the puffer fish?" tanyakanya.


"Can, Bang." I said excitedly.


"Jaudah Abang wants that" he said.


"Oh that, okay-okay. What is Ghifari going to eat?" I asked, however, in this house, I was his future wife. So, I have to treat Ghifari well. Especially if there are members of the Ghifari family.


"So whatever." replied Ghifari.


"OK." I said.


I also moved. But Ghifari and Bang Haidar followed me. I turned too. They look like two little kids following me while glaring at each other. I certainly don't want to be in this situation.


"Ehh.. You guys watch TV. Let me cook myself." I said.


"But." said Ghifari and Bang Haidar together. I giggled inwardly at the compactness of the two.


"Yaudah I don't want to cook" I said threatening them both.


They followed my request. I also started to struggle with the kitchen. I started cooking the green sambal broiled fish. That's all I can do now considering they look hungry and need a quick meal. Can the green fish be quickly so? I reckon yes. According to others how.
