PS 28 - Morning Visit

Today as usual Ghifari came to pick me up. Not Ghifari name if every morning does not make me excited because sometimes like to come in the morning. 

"Is this not wrong?" I asked to see Ghifari who was in front of me when it was still evening.

I glanced at Ghifari then glanced at the wall clock to make sure that I wasn't mistaken in. Time still shows 5.20 WIB. Time is still quite early in the morning.

"Emang why?" ghifari said lightly.

I was going to protest him because he was truly magical. I want to tell him that no normal guest has been seen at this early hour.

"Gue took a nap" said Ghifari who immediately 'nyelonong' entered and sat in the living room. 

"Nyebelin really." I said furious at the behavior of the man who has this magical behavior.

Ghifari did not heed my words and now prefers to sleep on the living room sofa. He closed his eyes.

"O Allah, this child must be treated with Bang Haidar. Insane." I said grumbling while watching Ghifari.

Shortly after, Bi Shanti came, as if she had heard a commotion between me and Ghifari. 

"Who's coming, son?" ask Bi Shanti.

I can only point at Ghifari using my chin. Bi Shanti immediately set her sights on. Instantly, Bi Shanti looked at Ghifari who was already sitting while closing her eyes.

Instead of scolding Ghifari, Bi Shanti chuckled. I glared in disbelief.

"Ih, Auntie. Why is Aunt laughing?" I ask to protest.

"It's okay, son. Just funny. Her behavior was similar to someone Bibi knew" Bi Shanti said.

"Lho's? Who?" my many.

"Mas Aaron's. Sister Linda's Sister. Exactly like him, always apply at will but always be attentive and kind-hearted" said Bi Shanti.

Ghifari changed his sleeping position. I can only crack. I'm sure he didn't fully sleep.

"If Om Aaron is like him I think I know why you don't want to be with him, Bi." I said.

"Husss. Don't say that. Precisely there is the appeal of Mas Aaron" said Bi Shanti like not to lose. It was like he didn't want to see me say bad things about Om Aaron.

I started squinting, starting to guess what Bi Shanti was feeling, "Why does Auntie seem to know Om Aaron so well? Don't you ever like Uncle Aaron, huh?" I said while raising my eyebrows.

"Hussis.. Ah, Aunty forgot the stove hasn't been turned off" said Bi Shanti who immediately left me.

I could only chuckle at Bi Shanti's apparent behavior of avoiding this conversation. I began to be able to conclude that before marriage, Bi Shanti had fallen in love with Om Aaron. 

I really regret that. If only Om Aaron married a person as good as Bi Shanti of course his second life would be very happy. However, I know, some things in life such as: age, soul mate, and fortune only Allah SWT only knows.

We as human beings only plan, God determines.

I looked towards Ghifari. The mind immediately turns on the 'on' mode'.

I took a feather and brought it to Ghifari's ear. As Ghifari squirms, I am even more pleased to see how he can squirm. I did it again.

"Ara.." call Ghifari hoarsely, his eyes still closed.

I could only chuckle and prank Ghifari again until Ghifari woke up perfectly.

"Wake up, can't know sleep at dawn. Not good." I said.

Ghifari squinted her eyes at me, I could only raise my eyebrows, not understanding what she was saying. 

"Far away" he said.

I just realized that we were so close.

I heard what Ghifari said, hot and angry. After all, in this world, no one likes to be ugly, right? Especially women, and I feel I'm beautiful not as ugly as Ghifari said.

"Lo's face is worse." I said immediately to shake Ghifari's head annoyed.

I stood up and left Ghifari feeling half dead. Look, how I'm not a jackass, he laughs. Like not committing a sin.

"Kidna, Ra!" Ghifari.

"Not funny!" myrag.

Ghifari just laughed. It seems to see me laughing being part of his fun. Damn, the pleasure of why should be above my suffering.

I prefer to go to the kitchen to help Bi Shanti.

"Ghifari sucks huh, Ra?" ask Bi Shanti.

I nodded while pursing my lips.

"But he's also fun and always makes your heart open?" ask Bi Shanti.

At first, I thought that Bi Shanti would be badmouthing Ghifari, I had even prepared the ingredients for chiming in. But in reality Bi Shanti was teasing me. I so cursed myself who only heard the temptation from Bi Shanti who was far from the standard word alone was able to make my cheeks hot, I felt ashamed.

"Ah, Auntie.." I said regretfully.

"Come, take this forward. We had breakfast together" Bi Shanti said.

I could only pucker my lips and then nod. Bi Shanti just chuckled at me. Bi Shanti just like Ghifari laughs easily, I thought that my face was like a clown.

I also brought the fried rice made by Bi Shanti to the dining table. Bi Shanti brought dishes, spoons, and glasses, then an omelet and crackers.

"Auntie will take your mama, you call Nak Ghifari" said Bi Shanti.

"Can't we just trade?" my many.

Bi Shanti shook her head. I nodded too.

After that, I went straight to the living room to call Ghifari as Bi Shanti asked me to do.

Ghifari is playing online games.

"Ghif, told to have breakfast with Bi Shanti." I said.

"Depart, responsibility, Ra" Ghifari said.

I snorted as bad as hell. That's what Ghifari is like. I sometimes like it when he is struggling with online games. At times like this I feel like I want to destroy all online games on earth. However, I can't do it because sometimes I still like to play it to get rid of boredom and fatigue.

"No breakfast? No breakfast?" I asked while closing the screen of the phone.

Ghifari looked up, "Hope be time not" he said.

The two of us laughed at our absurd conversation. Ghifari turned off his phone and put it in his pants pocket.

"Udah is dead, Princess" Ghifari said.

"Thank you, my boyfriend." I said in a gagged tone that actually made me disgusted.

"Ck. Now who's the dwarf?" ask Ghifari while standing up.

"The dwarf ketchup bottle." I said originally and walked towards the living room.

Ghifari just laughed behind my back. I can only smile. It was fortunate that I turned my back on him so Ghifari couldn't see how my smile was expanding.
