Sense of Sense

Pakde

Don't ask how Rafa got the car. Fortunately Ranee has been very memorized with this one Rafa temperament. Although it is one of Rafa's hidden attractions that is always swift for the sake of family members, but Ranee can not deny that Rafa always managed to make heart gymnastics at times like this.

Ranee occasionally reminds Rafa to drive at a reasonable speed every time they stop at a red light. Unfortunately, Rafa doesn't. And after less than a thrilling hour, they arrived at the residence of Rahma and Dani.

As soon as Rafa opened the gate lock slot, he was immediately greeted by Zain's loud voice. The boy seemed to be deliberately sitting at the door waiting for him.

“Pakde Rafa!” zain shouted, hugging Rafa's legs.

Rafa who had just one step past the gate almost hit Ranee who was behind him. He lowered his head and said, “Pakde, call Om gitu.”

Zain shook his head. “Kata Mamah can't. You see Pakde Rafa is his brother Mamah, kayak Bude Rahma his brother Papah. Gitu,” bright Zain, showing off his row of teeth. “Pack. Pakde. Pakde to pick up Zain, ‘kan?”

“Ngak. Pakde would like to pick up Mas Alvin, kok.”

Zain scowled, let go of his embrace and took two steps back then his tiny clenched hand hit Rafa's thigh with all his might. “Pakde Rafa! Zain ndak bolo Pakde Rafa!”

The age-different male debate that seemed like a child's friend continued and became so exciting that Ranee haru ignored them and headed for the door of the house. After the greeting and two beats, Rahma appears in a long-sleeved negligee suit like most housewives in general complete with a veil covering the chest.

“Ranee? How, alone? Where's rafa?”

Ranee clumsily pointed at Rafa and Zain. “Others tag Zain, Mbak.”

“Yes, geez! No father, no pakdenya, the same,” complained Rahma, patting jidat. “Zain! Son, let's get the toys first kept the same Mas Alvin ready, yes.”

Zain, who was in an unfortunate position, became a victim of Rafa's tickling, immediately fled into the house. While Rafa can only smile clumsily seeing the expression of his wife and sister-in-law who are not much different. Then he follows Ranee as Rahma allows them to enter the house.

As soon as they sat down, Rahma's husband, Dani, approached and entertained both of them. The afternoon chat began with cliche questions about the news, busyness and more. However, as soon as Rahma came with a tray of four cups on it, their chatter instantly changed direction.

“Sorry yes, so ngerepotin. You guys come all the way here to pick up Alvin and Zain,” said Rahma, putting a cup on each of your people and then taking a seat next to Dani.

“Nothing, Ma'am.” Ranee answered kalem.

Rahma actually felt wrong. One side there is a promise to her husband's extended family that they will come to meet the wedding invitation of Dani's nephew and family gathering that was delayed by Lebaran last year. However, on the other side was his sister-in-law who was currently lying in the hospital.

In fact, he and Dani had discussed changing plans so that he remained in Solo while Dani and their two twin daughters still went to Magelang.

“Ngak what-y, Ma'am. Precisely not good with Mas Dani's family if his promise is suddenly canceled.”

“But, we are so bad,” said Rahma sungkan. And the atmosphere instantly turned awkward.

Realizing that, Dani cleared her throat. “Rafa, what is Safira's condition? Why did you suddenly enter the hospital?”

Rafa and Ranee exchanged looks. “I don't know yet, either, Mas. Ashqar hasn't told me anything. Are mas and mbak not told Ashqar the details?”

Confusion hits Rahma and Dani. Both gave the same response.

“Ashqar didn't say much. He just said that now Safira is in the hospital and the children will be picked up by you,” explained Rahma.

Hearing that, Rafa realizes that Ashqar seems to be deliberately covering up the truth about Safira's condition. And he was obviously very curious about it.
