The Foreign Taste

Papa Adit's

"Yinan!"

A man the age of Nanda's father suddenly appeared at the back entrance of the house. His face is flat and looks left to six figures of his friends Adnan one by one.

When his gaze reached Ranum, there was a fleeting shock seen on his face. But then he focused his eyes back on Adnan.

"Yes Papa" said Adnan on the call of the man by the door. It turned out that the man was Adnan's father named Adit. Next we will call him Papa Adit.

"Where are you going?" Ask Papa Adit.

Adnan looks daunted while talking to Papa Adit. So as to make his other friends so follow feel daunted.

"Adnan wants to take friends home first, Pa. Adnan's friends don't have a motor" Adnan replied with his head down.

Papa Adit hasn't said a word for a while. Then a question came out of his mouth.

"They're all your friends?" Ask Papa Adit.

"Yes, Pa," Adnan said briefly and concisely.

"You, what's your name?" Tanya Papa Adit pointed to Tika.

"I'm Tika, Om."

Then the eyes of Papa Adit moved to the figure next to Tika, namely Mira. And Mira also finally introduced herself without needing to be asked. And so do the others.

Everyone immediately introduced themselves to Papa Adit. Until Ranum's turn comes, Papa Adit suddenly adds another question to the teenager.

"Where do you live?" Ask Papa Adit to Ranum.

"In Teak Wood, Om," replied Ranum.

"Oo.. What's your parents' name?" Ask Papa Adit back.

Papa Adit's question drew the attention of other teenagers to his. Because somehow all the teenagers feel that Papa Adit is interested in knowing the origins of Ranum.

Meanwhile, Ranum who became the object of the question looked confused for a moment.

"Mm. Anum's father was Nanda, Om. While Mother Anum named Nida," replied Ranum.

At first glance, there was shock that had flashed across Papa Adit's face. But it was only realized by Adnan only. Adnan became curious, why is his Papa so interested to know about the Ranum family?

Not yet Adnan commented, he saw the mother appear behind the body of the Papa.

Mama Ayu is a very beautiful woman in her early thirties. With a tiny face, a pointed nose, and straight black hair that beautifully severed, Mama Ayu managed to amaze her friends Adnan there.

"Mama," Adnan said to her Mom.

At once also Adnan's view softened. And he immediately approached the mother who was always present with a thin smile of hers.

"Adnan, Honey. You're playing with your friends, son?" Ask Mama Ayu.

"Yes, Ma. Adnan runs out of SKJ training with friends. But now they want to go home" Adnan said.

"Oh. You guys don't want to play first, kids?" Ask Mama Ayu kindly.

"No, Auntie. thank you," the choir almost all goes together.

"Yes already. Be careful at the ja-"

Mama Ayu's words immediately stopped when her gaze reached the figure of Ranum. For some reason, the teenage girl's figure made her heart interested so strongly. Though the appearance of a beautiful teenager actually looks very ordinary.

But somehow Ayu's mind was unable to turn away from staring at Ranum for a long time.

"You.."

Mama Ayu said when Papa Adit pulled her elbow to enter the house.

"Come, Ma! We go upstairs. Didn't you just say your migraines recur?" Take Papa Adit suddenly.

"Mm. yes. But.." the view of Mama Ayu is still interested to observe the figure of Ranum. So that makes the young princess feel uncomfortable because it became the center of attention of her Papa-Mama Adnan.

After his parents Adnan passed away, all the teenagers were now watching Ranum.

This makes Ranum nervous and embarrassed. He then squeezed the end of his shirt unconsciously.

"We're going home now, right?" Tanya Ranum reminded her friends.

Only the other six teenagers realized with the intention of going home earlier. And finally, the seven teenagers were riding motorcycles to go home. To each other's homes.

"Still yes, Nan," said Tika as soon as he arrived.

"Together" said Adnan.

"See you tomorrow, Ranum, Adnan!" Sapa Tika escorted her two friends away.

"Yes, Tik! See you tomorrow!" Ranum's return to her.

Ranum is alone with Adnan.

For a while, there was no conversation between the two. Until suddenly Ranum who ventured to start a conversation. There was something that stuck his heart when he met with Adnan's parents earlier.

It was as if Papa and his Mama Adnan recognized themselves only. Though Ranum was so sure that a moment ago was his first meeting with Adnan's parents.

"Your mother is so beautiful, Nan!" Praise Ranum, in his vocabulary.

"Thank you. You too!" Follow Adnan with a normal-sounding tone of voice.

'Duh! Wrong worded. Why am I suddenly praising Mama Adnan huh? It's a really strange day!' the monologue Ranum in the heart.

"Papa Mama you're like she's out of shape, Nan?" Ranum.

"Yes. As I recall, Mama did say that they had a visit to the orphanage today" Adnan replied.

Though actually in the heart of the teenager the boy was overwhelmed with astonishment at the attitude of his parents earlier when he saw Ranum.

'Why does Papa know Ranum? And why does Mama look interested in Ranum?' ask Adnan to himself.

"Have you ever met Papa and Mama Ku Num before?" Ask Adnan suddenly.

"No, it doesn't seem like it, Nan."

It's been. Ranum did not dare to add any more words. Worried that he was wrongly said because he was tempted to reveal his allegations that are not necessarily true.

'It could be that my face only reminds me of someone they know, right?' terka Ranum in her own mind.

About half an hour later, Adnan also delivered Ranum to the front of his house. And Ranum was surprised when he found his mother had come home early. Mother Nida is now sweeping the terrace of the house.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mommy, how come you're home at this hour?" Tanya Ranum astonished.

"Yes, Son. Your work today thank God can be completed faster. So you can go home early."

Mother Nida gives Ranum, her shady smile. But then his gaze fell on the figure of Adnan who was seen standing hesitantly beside his motorbike.

"Who is this? Ranum's friend huh?" Sapa Nida was friendly.

"Ee. Yes Aunt. I nganterin Ranum come home aja Aunty. We finished SKJ training at my house with other friends" Adnan explained.

"Oh. that's so."

"Yes, Mother. Keep this Adnan nganterin Ranum home. We came home a lot of the same others," added Ranum.

"Gee. Thank you Nak Adnan, for being kind enough to take Ranum home. Come on stop by here! Mother brought fried food for you to eat," bargained Nida on the two teenagers.

"False, Aunt. But Adnan said yes, Auntie. Mama and Papa Adnan asked Adnan to go straight home after delivering Ranum," Adnan refused subtly.

"Well, what a pity. But it's okay. Play again sometime, Nan. Be careful on the highway" Nida warned.

"Yes, Aunt. Num, I'm going home first!" Pamit Adnan's.

"Yes. Thanks, Nan. Sorry for the nicotine."

"Nyantai. Aunt, Adnan's home. Assalaamu'alaikum!" Greet Adnan before passing away on his bike.

After that, Ranum went straight into the house. But his steps were suddenly stopped by his Mother.

"Ranum, honey, could you please sit here for a moment. Mommy wants to say something first," asked Nida while patting the sofa next to her seat.

"Well, Bund.." said Ranum short and dense.

Although actually in the heart of the young woman began to assemble various questions over the content of her chat later with the Mother.

'Unusual-normally Mother is being serious gini. What's up, huh?' ranum's mind was busy with questions he created himself.
