SPIRIT CHILD

9. A FRIENDLY FAMILY

After arriving in the living room is quite spacious with a deer head wall decoration that is deliberately preserved with hard water somehow when he saw it this heart felt gripped by the horror that fortunately I can still control, he said, moreover, the presence of a guest bench that exactly stopped where the king completes bad thoughts that are increasingly suspicious. But even so I saw the look on Tina's face that still seemed happy to take off her longing to Rima.

Rima immediately invited me and Tina to sit with him, he sat opposite us.

"Look sit down first, you must be tired really" he said

In front of us there were three white plates containing a dish of cut-up sponge, fried beans and putu ayu cake with three colors of black, red, and green. It seems to have been prepared since before we came

"Please eat, don't be shy. Think of it as your own home" he said kindly.

Me and Tina nodded reluctantly, willing to grab her food but awkwardly. Probably because I haven't seen each other for too long.

But what I salute him, he is still the same as before. He is friendly and his language is polite to us

I nodded slowly "Yes Rima thanks ya later I take if you want" said I

But Rima still forced us to eat it when it was "Nothing now just take the cake. Try tasting first. It was a cake made by me "he said

Apparently different from Tina, instead he looked relaxed and then took a piece of sponge in front of him

Then he ate it without awkwardly again "The color is delicious" he said

Rima smiled "Thank you, if you can all eat yes. That's why I prepared specifically for you guests from far away" he said

Tina nodded "Beres, it will also run out because I don't know we are" he said

Rima was happy to hear Tina's words then glanced at me while gesturing so that I too would eat it. At that time I also want to take a black color cake ayu. Because I feel the color black is a bit unique because all this time I've known the color green

"This is Putu ayu black color. What is the taste ?" I am serious about Rima

But Tina who answered with a bad answer "Mixed with dirty oil" he said

Rima laughs "Ah, could it be "

At the same time the woman who had opened the gate came with a smiley face knotted with a thin lips so very friendly to wash away my suspicions.

In his hand carrying a tray patterned with red flowers from a distance seen above there are two clear glasses containing tempting milk coffee. What else is very suitable to be sucked in the cold of the night in this magnificent house.

He got closer to the table and put two glasses in front of me and Tina while throwing a smile back at us

His voice was also soft and motherly, very calm when he heard it "Please drink yes, do not hesitate" he said then put a tray under the table and sat on the sofa right next to Rima

During the encounter with me and Tina Mom's smile was never off her face. It is certain that she is a friendly woman and very gentle in heart.

At the same time, Rima also did not escape by kindly introducing the middle-aged woman to us

"This is my mother-in-law" he said

Tina smiled slightly lowered her head to Rima's in-laws "Oh, hello Mother" she said greeting kindly

Without any pause, I also immediately greeted him "Hello Mother" greeting me well

In fact, I thought she was just a housekeeper in this house. Apparently he has the power here.

But even though Rima had introduced herself, Rima's mother-in-law repeated the introduction that Rima delivered with a motherly and gentle voice as her trademark.

He looked us in the eye so deeply that I could not blink

"I'm Rima's Mother-in-law, just call me Atik" she said slowly but still heard

Me and Tina nodded "Yes Ma'am" in our unison

As he moved from his seat he invited us

"Look we have dinner first, surely you guys are starving already ?" bring

But I resisted quickly because it was late at night too

"Later ma'am, the coffee has not been drunk" I said on the grounds

Bu Atik nodded in understanding

"Oh yes if you have finished eating immediately yes" he said "Rima, don't forget his friends were invited to eat" added Bu Atik again while looking friendly towards me and Tina

Rima nodded quickly "Yes Ma'am" he said

A few moments of exchanging stories about eleven hours past fifteen minutes the atmosphere increasingly felt quiet and very quiet just the sound of our chatter that broke in the silence of the night

Suddenly the stomach sounds began to hint to be filled, the stomach feels hungry as if to collect dinner appointments but even so I and Tina seem to prefer to rest just because our dinner preview will make us fat fast

But apparently Rima invited us back for dinner "Feed first yuk, already prepared in the dining room" he asked. This time his face wished we would follow his invitation

Hearing her I turned to Tina to code for her approval even though I knew Tina wouldn't want any more dinner this late

Finally, the more courageous Tina refused gently "Rima, I'm the same Nisa can immediately rest, because I feel very tired" he said

I also added, "Yes, I'm sorry, and I and Tina can't eat dinner because they're afraid of fat. Sorry yes" I said

But luckily Rima was always willing to accept our explanation and understand it

Rima smiled "Oya, if that is so you can go straight to sleep just so happens to be your room I have prepared. If you want now please let me anter to the top" he asked

Tina nodded as she stood up first, it was obvious that she was more tired than me

"Yes now it is. Room on the second floor, huh ?" tina asked Rima who was getting ready

Rima stood up then started to prepare her steps

"You slept on the top floor. Third floor. I purposely love the upper room so that tomorrow morning you can all breathe fresh air and can see the sights as much" he said

Hearing it as soon as I immediately imagined how refreshed my dirty brain during my life in Jakarta

No longer lingering, Rima took us upstairs which she meant "Snake !" take him as he steps ahead of us

We climbed the stairs in a line, Tina in the middle, Rima in the front and I was the tail. When we stepped up there was no sound but our footsteps

When passing through the hallway of the second floor Tina took the initiative to ask Rima's child who had made us curious about the face and growth

"Your son is sleeping, Rima ?" ask her from behind the back of Rima who kept stepping

Rima answered quickly "Yes for sure. At this hour my son has been brought a dream" he replied

From behind Tina's body I miss "Lagian time is so early at this time the little boy is still awake, strange just question lu Tin" I said

But Tina did not accept my saying "But there are also children who stay up" he argued

"Who ? Ponakan you ?" much

"Well, how do caves know !" answer Tina lightly

"Issh, it's not clear what you are, Tin !"
