Suppose that... (Turnable Time)

Hope

(Immi really didn't go home?). Message from Elsa's mother.

(No mbak.) Reply Yumna.

(Why not go home with my sister-in-law.) Mama Elsa's Message.

(Loh, did you come home?). Ask Yumna, the article for several days Yumna also did not hear any news.

Yumna hasn't even been out since Mama Elsa's return.

(Yes, he said go home. The school exam is over for the day.) Mama Elsa's answer after Yumna waited a while.

(Oh that, no ah. I'll be making more conversation material). Chick Yumna with laughing emoticons.

(Lo, yes Galang later send money to his brother. Tell me to get off the gas or eat it). Mama Elsa's.

(Let's wes I stay here and not go home. The car will not fit either. How many families have been there. I haven't brought 2 kids. Not my luggage yet.) Reply Yumna.

(Since your sister-in-law also asked, what are you going home?) Mama Elsa said.

(So, how's the answer?) Tanya Yumna was curious.

(I said I didn't know. He said he didn't come home. Why, I'm the one. Keep on talking about nothing, just asking. Who knows you're a nitip Ilmi.) Mama Elsa's.

(Oh that's. Wes barin is not here. Lebaran is here.) Said Yumna who then put back her phone because she had to put Akifa to sleep.

Chequek...

" Mother, there's Arumi." Said Ilmi who came home from playing

" Yes, just ask to come in." Yumna said in a whispering voice for fear that Akifa would wake up.

Yumna then sees Novi and Arumi and Ilmi enter and closes the door slowly.

" Where?" Ask Novi.

" What's the matter?" Ask Yumna.

" So homecoming?"

" Huft's. No, Galang already said, this year do not expect to go home. He even blames me for not getting results from writing." Yumna said a little when remembering the words of Galang who mocked Yumna with spicy words.

" Early yesterday asked the same Om Bobi, when to go home. Who knows if there's hope to go home." Novi said amusing.

" I don't know. I'm afraid to hope. Because every time I wish on Galang. The end is always disappointed." Pekik Yumna's.

" yes. But there's no harm in trying and praying." Novi said encouraging Yumna who seems to have no spirit to be able to go home.

" I don't know. I'm trying to write too. But I also don't understand why my novel hasn't earned a minimum income. Maybe I don't know much about the T&Cs yet." Yumna.

" How much do you get now?" Ask Novi.

" Huuuuu, still very far from the minimum amount for one withdrawal." Yumna.

" Patient. How about riding a bike?" Ask Novi.

" Yes, I want that too. But Galang once said that it pity Akifa if you go home on a bike."

" Yes, try talking about it again. Who knows if there's a solution."

" Yes, I hope."

A few days later...

Yumna's sister calls and asks if Ilmi will come home or not.

" Hmm, it doesn't seem to." Yumna said sadly.

" How much does it cost to travel to Java?" Tanya Arumi, Yumna's sister.

" Kira's a million. Now it's the stairs where ticket prices go up because they enter youth."

" Wuh, expensive yeah.."

" Yes, wait who knows THR I got a lot, so can pay for travel brother and son." Arumi.

" No need. Just keep your money. It's okay, I came home after Lebaran. Pray for me a lot of windfall so I can go home even if it's not time for Eid." Yumna.

" Yes, I want to continue working."

" Yes." Yeah."

After the call ends. Yumna once again tried to contact her father hoping that his father would lend Yumna some money so that Yumna could go home and not be together with her mother and sister.

However, the answer Yumna got was still the same.

" Nduk, I told you that I will cover the transportation costs of you and your children. Even papa will bear all your living expenses while you are in Java. Originally, from Bali you went back to your sister's house to accompany your sister Saida. Poor little brother of yours." Papa.

Hmm, Saida's turn is pitied. While my sister and I used to ask for money to eat until they had to try hard like they were begging. If not contacted first, then will not remember if you have children. But when it comes to the child of his second wife, there can be no lack or distress at all. Inner Yumna.

In the evening, Yumna tries to return to tell Galang that Yumna is ready to go home on a bike to Java.

" What if you ride a bike?" Yumna.

" Yes how much. Not much is. For gasoline, the same meal costs a boat ride." Galang.

" Why?" Ask Galang.

" Yes, how to ride a bike, Akifa is also quite big."

" What's the luggage?"

" It can be carded ahead. So Ilmi has a pillow to sleep on." Yumna.

The bar looks silent. Yumna also remained silent for fear that Yumna talking too much would trigger a heated argument.

The next day, Yumna began to hear that some of the fix-up residents were going home.

And today is the day that Novi will return with his brother.

" You're good to have a sister. And I don't have anyone who has a car." Yumna said as she drove Novi shopping for her by her mother and mother-in-law.

" Lo, you also have a big brother in the car." Novi.

" It's brother-in-law. Not my own brother, if my own brother I'd be hitchhiking." Yumna Kekeh. While loosening the sling of Akifa.

Yep. They are now resting after going around and shopping.

" Is there no discussion of going home anymore?" Ask Novi.

" Nothing. I just told you anyway, if I and Akifa are ready and can if you have to go home on a bike. I said it's okay. What is important is that we can be in Java. And do you know, flat cost residents will go home. Just stay with Yuni." Yumna said while giving Akifa the drink she was carrying.

" Galang already know if many cost residents will go home?" Ask Novi.

" Yes know maybe."

" Keep the response?"

" Nothing"

" Yes, I'm patient. I'm sure you must have gone home. Bismillah homecoming." Said Novi who was trying to encourage Yumna.

A few days later....

Yumna feels lonely, there is no Mama Elsa and also Novi for various stories.

Until Novi brings news that makes Yumna increasingly high hopes.

" Eh, I think Galang will go back to Java on a bicycle. He had said to my husband, if pity Ilmi and you if not go home while the residents of the boarding house go home all."

Thank God, there is at least hope to go home. Inner Yumna
