Still waiting for you

Still waiting for you
turning point



Repeatedly I tried to draw in the breath and exhale slowly, so that the excitement due to crying was held back by the expression bang Amar slightly subsided. Heart rhythm can not be reconciled.


Long enough we kept quiet, momentarily permeated the story of the mass between us that had to be completely cut off by the destiny that approached without permission. Trying sincerely and looking for a turning point in the form of happiness that we hold today after successfully passing the pill.


I straighten the body. Tidying up a little hijab


wet on the side by tears. Staring at the Amar bang who also looked at me, I carved a sweet smile sign I had managed to control myself and make peace with the situation.


"Was over time, his explanation, his sacrifice."


Bang Alam smiled then shook his head slowly.


"Either. Don't waste your brother's sacrifice. Nature is a good man. He is very responsible even though sometimes he likes to be crumpled"


I laughed crisply, it seemed like my heart had made perfect peace until laughter no longer bothered to air.


"definitely. Brother's sacrifice and the struggle of Nature I must give appreciation"


"Wooo, if you make Nature appreciate you must be a devoted wife, if to me?"


"Hmmm what yes, Brother likes what?, or want it. Want to do that again."


"You who want to appreciate, kok ask anyway, if in the appreciation race in tanyain one-on-one gini is delicious to be."


"No, this is for my brother. My brother will no longer participate in the race, but will sacrifice. Gifts should be special dong."


"Hmmm. Okay, make sure you can fill it up."


"God willing." I nodded steadily.


"That's the highest promise for a Muslim"


Bang Amar reminded.


"Dad I know. I'll work on it"


"You said what I like and what I want."


Bang Amar looked up at the sky with a smile on his lips, then turned to look at me.


I'm squeaking, feeling the gray air alarm alert sign.


"Hawning is goosebumps. Don't ask for anything weird, man,"


He laughed, this time his laughter flew off, my heart rippled, this heart still admired his laughter, his teeth were neat and clean, his jaw was hard and overgrown with a fine beard to the ears.


Astaghfirulloh, I looked away and found Nature walking towards us.


"Have not talked yet?" Ask Nature as she arrives before me.


"Well, would you like me to come home? Come on." Come on."


I hurried down from the gazebo to avoid the request of the Amar bang that had not been spoken. Let that be a business later.


"I'm in such a hurry, I haven't answered your question yet."


"Sometimes bang, kasian ibuk must have waited ami home" I hurriedly pulled the clothes of Nature to get away from there immediately.


"Ameena, I'll send the list to your number huh.!!" The cry of Nature made my steps stop and turn my head.


"Abang no longer plans to make me die young, right.?"


I heard her laughter on the air, and I looked at Nature who was looking at me question mark.


"yes, there is no need to hear the Amar bang"


"are you playing a secret game?


"no, I'll tell you the details. I also have a lot of questions for you"


"oh yeah,? bang Amar what's the story?"


"a lot, really even"


"he said no when Ionjokin right knew he broke up with you.?"


"what!, why should you use violence anyway, he did not tell you why.


I just shook my head, responding.

I thought Alam would take me home because it was late afternoon. It turns out he's taking me to eat with mom and dad.


"That's okay!, we're all late for lunch because of you." Bang Amar's voice interrupts me, This guy is a teardrop time yes, from earlier I did not realize when he came and went.


"Dih!, who would refuse to eat" I replied with a sharp glance at the Amar bang. Then smiled a sign of gratitude to Nature who pulled the chair for me to sit on.


"Don't in jahili gitu dong Mar, lash again just know your taste." Dad told me to stick to bang Amar's pranks.


"Tau nih brother, mentang already in sorryin" this time Nature that chimed.


"Udah dong, eat first a quiet, later in further conversation."


"Well mother.." answered the three in unison. I can only smile at the silly behavior of this family. In my heart I am grateful, God has given me a harmonious family candidate.


After eating, my mother tricked me into chatting in the living room. He said he called my mother to let her know that I was coming home the night I expressed my concern about the mother waiting at home.


"Am, next week mama want umrah, a bit long anyway, three weeks. Want it from there do not need to bring it. So you want to order dates in your store, how?."


" Okay anyway bund. What do you want dates?, make hampers, or make treats?."


"Wants to make a treat. But since you said hampers, you're thinking"


"Mother haven't nyiapin hampers?"


"Not yet, what am I about. Which do not need to bring from there, but which smells arab it"


"Mothers buy a lot of arab perfumes. Later hampersnya in the contents of mori cloth abis in the perfume spray. It's simple." Mother snickered and threw a chair cushion at Nature. Being bang Amar and Dad just laughed at the annoyance of the mother.


"I gave honey to the hampers." This time it was Bang Amar who gave the proposal. This is a sane proposal, inversely proportional to the proposal of Nature.


"Well, yes, but the time is just Mar's honey."


"One of them is bund. The packaging is also being done." Bang Amar again.


"If so what if you add a jar aja bund. It'll be chickpeas or dates."


'yes yes, mother wants arab nuts that have skin is am, the same dates that are like yesterday's mother pesen to you"


"Pistachio lackey means mother?"


"Fustuk Am, not piscok"


"Pistachio mother,, "


Answer bang Amar and mas Alam congregate, looks anxious by the phrase mother.


Me and Dad just laughed.


"Well, that's not Am, the nuts on the skin are just to name it."


"Yes mother, both are the same, just different languages."


"Oh so, anyway kasi name kok similar to the trade of umay.,"


I looked up, while the others laughed.


" Umay that's the one trading piscok at the end of the alley there Am." Dad explained it to me.


"Oh," I nodded and laughed.


"so fix ya bund, fill hampers a bottle of honey the same two jars of date fill and nut fustuk" asked me to ensure the desire mother.


"iya Am, keep the jar how?, what to buy that packaging already so yes.?"


"already, that's Ami's business aja. mother stay bang butuhnya how much. later I ready" mother hugged me sign agree and repeatedly say thank you.


"hmmm, there are more excited because in manjain mantu."


father's curse made everyone laugh, today my feelings are like a rollercoaster, from the boiling emotions to the warmth of being in the middle of this family.
