The Heart I Choose

The Heart I Choose
After lunch



After lunch, we sat together while watching television, I saw all the children and nephews of Mas Wandi always fun playing flat objects in their hands.


"Well! new hape!" I asked Rani, from yesterday I wanted to ask, but there was never a chance.


"Yes dong Ma, good right!" rani answered showing her hape.


I saw that flat object, I don't know what output? what series? I don't understand, but if you look at that stuff it looks fancy, especially in the hands of a high school boy.


"Look at Mama, it didn't feel like this one, did you hear Brother?" I asked Rani, I deliberately called brother to get used to the call to Dika.


"Yes Ma, this will be bought by Papa, I ask for the money" answered Rani innocently.


"What old sister's tape?"


"It's just as beautiful, Rani pointed out Beautiful "Hape is often full of memory, slow is also not good if playing games and save photos," said Rani.


"Ooo, yes already, Mama entered the room first yes, want to put Kiyah to sleep,".


I chose to put Kiyah to sleep, they were still busy with her hape.


"Ma, Papa's coming home at what time?" ask Rian.


"Try on the phone, if usually, sometimes this lunch has gone home for a while to eat," I replied from inside the room.


"Udah on the phone Bang Rian, but not yet picked up Ma" this time Beautiful who joined the talk.


"Oh yeah, wait a minute, maybe still on the road" I said.


"Okay Mama" they answered.


"Mama put Adek Kiyah to bed first yes, don't be noisy" I said from inside the room.


"Every Ma," Dika who answered funny.


In the room


Kiyah had already started to fall asleep, I straightened my waist which was really sick, since in this crowded house, Kiyah was indeed more in the carrying, I could not persuade her, she was indeed like frightened to see the crowd, she was indeed scared to see the crowd, maybe because I'm not used to going out, only occasionally to the stall.


I was pensive, Mas Wandi just bought a new phone for Rani, while I still wear old-school hape before marriage. For a long time I wanted to have a flattened hape, to let go of longing for my family, if hitchhiking in the hape Mas Wandi, he was often upset because he disturbed his fun playing games.


Dad often video call asking news of me and see the joy of Dika, my desire to have a phone like Rani getting stronger.


*******************"


"Hey get up,"


I was surprised, it turned out that Mas Wandi had come home.


"Y-yeah Mas," I answered nervously, maybe I was asleep.


"You've been sleeping, it's hard to build, it's like a kebo," he passed, leaving my heart ached at what he said.


****************


"So dong, ayoo get ready," Mas Wandi asked them.


"I'm coming with Mas?" I asked, I really want to go for a walk, it's been a long time since Mas Wandi never invited us again.


"Whatever," that's the answer. I don't care what it means, I'm getting all the necessities ready.


Kiyah and Dika have dressed their best clothes, eating and drinking for provisions on the road has also been sorted out in the box.


******************


We set out for the recreation of this city, here are more artificial recreation places, unlike my hometown, which is all natural. Although artificial, does not reduce its beauty, I still like, children too, look they are engrossed in taking pictures, sometimes they invite me.


Photographing using a phone, increasing my desire to have it, would be fun if I use to save photos of children. They make every funny behavior.


They are still busy taking pictures, Mas Wandi is also still busy playing his hape. I looked for a place I could sit, removing Kiyah from the sling. I took out the provisions that I had brought, there was fried chicken side dish rice for Kiyah that I had not had time to bribe this afternoon.


"Hey just walked for a while, already hungry, like a kebo," Mas Wandi approached us, maybe he wanted to joke, but I was already hurt by his words.


"This is for Kiyah Mas, she hasn't eaten yet" I replied, although she probably didn't need an answer.


Mumpung Mas Wandi is here, I want to ask him to buy him a hape like Rani has.


"Mas, hmmm," call me afraid.


"What's wrong?" he looked sharply at me, Mas Wandi's eyes were sharp, I used to love those eyes, but now those eyes scare me into seeing them.


"I want to buy you a phone like Rani's," I tell you, we rarely get to talk this is my chance.


"For what?" Mas Wandi asked.


"I want videos and photos of children, must be exciting" I said.


"You can use me!" Mas Wandi answered what I had expected.


"You're not home often in the afternoon, while they're funny during the day" I still persuaded him.


I let Kiyah climb into her lap, Mas Wandi hugged Kiyah, hopefully she was devastated and willing to grant this simple wish of mine.

I continue to love you, when you only give wounds, I have presented a body wrapped in love!!!!...
