Sulastri's Struggle.
Chapter 23
The graduation ceremony was over, some bouquets of flowers were already in Sulastri's arms. Both hands so unable to bring so much, even though it has been helped by his father and mother. "Let's sir, Ma'am, we just take a taxi" he said it is not possible with many goods like this to take public transportation.
"Tri" exclaimed someone from inside the silver car, stopping right in front of the campus where Lastri was waiting for a taxi. "Sister Adnan?" Lastri was surprised to see her former college owner's upperclassman, smiling at her.
"Let's go up" Adnan said immediately down from the car approaching Tri. For 3 years I have never met. However, Adnan is still like before, always friendly and polite, treating Lastri does not look at status even though he and Lastri are like earth and sky.
"Thank you, I ordered a taxi" he refused. "Oh yes Brother, introduce this my Father and Mother"
"Good day Om, Aunt" Adnan greeted both of Lastri's parents.
"Good afternoon, where do you know?" bashful Mr. Suryo, because during his stay with Lastri, Mr. Suryo had never seen the face of the Arab-faced man, playing at home. Adnan is of Jakarta and Arab descent.
"Sir, Adnan's sister was my upperclassman when I was a high school student, and when she was studying at the old college" said Lastri. Mr. Suryo nodded.
"Sir, Mom, just talk in the car, please come in" Adnan opened the door for both of Lastri's parents. Mr. Suryo and Ms. Santi looked at Lastri for an opinion.
Lastri agreed. Then get into the car, which is only fit for 4 people including the driver who is none other than Adnan himself.
"Tri, you just sit in front" said Adnan, as Lastri jostled with his father and mother in the back.
"But Brother" Lastri looked hesitant, looking at Adnan. He had not had time to ask whether Adnan was married to Bella or not, if it had been, it would be a big problem of course, if he was close to Adnan. Bella is her fiance.
"Tri" exclaimed Adnan who was still outside the car waiting for Lastri to move forward.
"It's okay Nduk, it looks like Nak Adnan is good" whispered Mr. Suryo breaking the deadlock. In the end Lastri nodded then moved to sit in front with the handsome man.
The car was heading towards the lower middle class complex. Lastri was surprised without asking her new home address. Adnan seems to know. Lastri's intelligent brain then thought, lest Adnan had been following him without Lastri knowing. So what does that mean?
"Why don't you know where I live in this complex?" the question also slid from Tri's mouth, frowning.
Adnan looked over and then chuckled.
"Cock even laugh? seriously is!" tri toilet.
"Already, do not be born" said Adnan.
Lastri no longer talks about it. Either have to give the nickname what's right for this guy next to him. A guardian angel, or a God of help? clearly, Adnan always helps, every Tri tribulation. It's always comforting when Tri is sad, and comes suddenly when Tri is having a problem and helps solve the problem.
"Sir, it's up, Nduk" Santi called to Lastri who was daydreaming looking out of the car. "Eh yes, it has arrived" Lastri was embarrassed because everything had gone down and was only greeted with injustice by Adnan.
"Come Nak" said Mr. Suryo, he entered first, because the door was not closed. Followed by Tri, ma'am santi, and followed by Adnan.
Adnan scanned the perimeter of the room, in the middle room there were four sewing machines, and was in goes two women and one man, the other one was empty maybe that's what Tri used to use.
"Sit down first Sister, this is how it is, my house is always a mess, understandably I have not been able to rent a house to open the seams myself," said Tri. Making Adnan's views turn to him.
"Yes obviously a mess Tri, apparently you received a large number of stitching orders" Adnan was amazed to look at the pile of green cloth and white green moti batik.
The type 60 one-story house has two rooms, one room for her, and one room for both parents.
Meanwhile, Chess, Ponco, and Sapto Tri's three brothers who are all male if the night roll out the carpet next to the sewing machine, looks like pepes fish.
Checklots.
Lastri came out of the room looking at Santi's mom apparently making tea and snacks for Adnan.
"Let's just Tri Bu" Lastri approached Santi's mom.
"No need to Nduk, let me just, you accompany your friend, gih" said Santi and diyakan Tri. Tri immediately ahead looked at Adnan who was engrossed with a device in hand.
"So good, who's chat? your wife, yes" guessed Tri and sat down in front of Adnan. Adnan raised his head quickly.
"Wife from where, my future wife who is sitting in front of me now, many times I shot, but not yet on target, missed. Hahaha" Adnan laughed at his own words, then shook his head.
"Don't you joke, sister, I asked seriously, Adnan's sister was not engaged to Bella for a long time, was not married too?" ask Lastri. "Honestly, I'm afraid, brother, if we're close even if we're just friends, you know, you know, you know, you know" Tri is now calm and doesn't want any more trouble. He was tired of the various problems that used to be wrapped around him.
"Forget it, let's discuss something else" Adnan replied casually.
"Drink son" Santi ma'am served two cups of tea in front of Adnan, and also his daughter who was supporting the temple with elbows attached to the chair.
"Thank you Aunt" Adnan nodded respectfully.
"I live yes son, want to ngerok Mr first, was complaining dizzy" said Miss Santi.
"Mother is sick?" Tri suddenly panicked.
"Not sick.your father, if you get AC like to catch a cold" replied Santi geleng-gel and then entered the room after putting a tray in the kitchen.
Tri breathe a sigh of relief.
"So you are not strong AC yes Tri, you know, I turned it off" Adnan felt guilty.
"It's okay, brother, drink his tea" Tri brought tea and also snacks of cassava chips that Santi made himself.
"Tri, you want to teach?" Adnan talked about something else.
"Friend Brother? Where's?" Lastri.
"At our old school Tri, we asked, you want to join to advance the school. In SMK Al INAYAH, you need a Teacher like you Tri, besides being smart, you are also responsible." praise Adnan, it is true.
