The Light of ANAS
Watch Out Ada Sule... Uh... There's an Intruder !!
Naz, who was visiting his Mother's house by being delivered by Hardi at her husband's request, returned to his innocence when Mother talked about the silliness of Arsen who craved her strange.
“Hahaha, strange cravings,, rasain tuh Kak Arsen got karmic due to his depraved deeds”, umpat Naz.
Mother suddenly stopped laughing at the words of Naz, “What depraved deeds do you mean, Dek?”, he asked with a look of astonishment and surprise.
Naz immediately smothered his mouth, “Oh Emji,,, why can I miss yassalam again,,,,,”, he murmured in his heart.
“Eng,, eng,, that means Mother, eng, kak Arsen to do so far as to make Raline pregnant, it should be if it should be married already, Mother, it should be,, he can't even rest on himself,, eng,, I'm wrong to say Mother, should have said evil earlier was just so depraved yes, hadh these lips are weird yes,,, hehhehee”, hehheye, Naz answered with a sigh.
Mommy again felt sad to remember that, he let out a long sigh, “Mother is also very sorry why this tea can happen, but yes want how else the rice has become porridge, but, hopefully for the future Arsen tea can improve himself and his attitude. Mommy mah can only pray that he can be a good priest for his wife and child later”, Mommy seems to have received what happened to his son, “Oh yes,, yes,, you want tea here?”.askan him.
“No Mother,, later if my husband has come so can nginep with him here nya”. Naz refused and gave a reason.
“Definitely because Arsen yes?”, guess Mommy..
“Heehehe”, Naz just smiled awkwardly.
“Your father has told me that you and Arfin already know about Arsen who loves you until Arfin hit Arsen when Mommy was sick first, because Mommy saw Arsen's face battered at that time,,, but thank goodness that's why she came to her senses and didn't expect you anymore,”, Mother told Naz.
While Naz continues to listen to Mother's words carefully and hopefully anxious while paying attention to the look on Mother's face. There is fear in him if Mother knows that Arsen once tried to harass her which would certainly make the relationship between Mother and her brother become tenuous again. Even he continues to keep himself from being flabbergasted again, but he can breathe freely it turns out Mother did not discuss the matter and means mother has not known it.
“Arsen tuh since he was a child good and obedient child with the same Father and Mother, it is calculated that he will be tea so our baby bontot, but first Mother pregnant again, he's so stubborn and unruly like looking for that attention and afraid not to be loved again with us he said, But after having a sister, he even really loves you,,, he even loves you, and he's very dear to you,, and the fault of tea after she found out you were not her biological sister she was in love with you, that made us keep her away from you and send her to live with Mimih in Bandung”, she said, mother's speech stopped for a moment.
“She tea is very angry and hateful to us and thought we tea does not love her, so every two weeks we always visit her without your knowledge, Dek,,,, so,,, until we like to pretend overtime so you do not suspect and do not come if we go to Bandung. But he sometimes likes to keep fighting with us, and finally he can tea even dare not come back here because we threatened to match you with someone else,, uh now even the incident of kayak gini”, he regretted.
“Sorry Mother, all this because of me, to protect me who is only an adopted child, you are willing to be away from your own biological children,, surely it was very heavy and painful because for many years the same Mother's father was far from Arsen”, Lirih Naz felt guilty, even he still blamed himself for the incident that happened to Raline. Though he could think selfishly and shortsightedly consider it was luck for him, because if that night he was in the room, he was in the room, then she will be the victim of the depravity of Arsen and she will not be able to unite with the man she loves who is now her husband.
Can't imagine what will happen with her, her life will be completely destroyed, her marriage will not happen and it could even end her life. But as a woman and as a brother he also felt the suffering that Raline felt. He can only hope that Arsen can fix and make amends and can love Raline also make her happy.
“Do not talk like that or, Dek,, Mother's heartache tea if someone says you are Mother's adopted child, anyway until whenever you remain a biological child for father and Mother.. And again we do this not for your own good or Arsen's sake, but for the good of all of us, because even if you are not siblings, you are not, Your father and Papa are siblings and in your religion are muhrim who are forbidden to marry, so in various ways we keep Arsen away from you and even cut off your communication, yes, although once in a while you can still callan”.
Naz just smiled hearing the explanation from his Mother
Hardi who had received a phone call outside, now he entered the house, then approached Mother and Naz who were sitting in the living room.
“Naz, Mas want to go to campus, just got a call if there is an impromptu meeting, and the other lecturers are already on the way to campus,, you want Mas to take you home first or want to come to campus?”, he told and gave a choice.
“Hardi, Naz mah left here aja, pity oruh if taken to campus mah he no one knows, anyways Mother still miss the bontot this,”, prevent Mother.
“Eng,, but Mommy..”, Hardi seems worried about something.
“Have already left there to campus, If the matter of Arfin mah later let Mommy who talked to him”, Mommy already understands what Hardi is worried about. He also felt relieved because he knew Mother would definitely take care of Naz and would not let Arsen do –sort to him as feared by Arfin. Hardi said goodbye to the two and left.
“Mother, Where is Dad?how come I haven't seen it since I came?”, asked Naz.
“Your father early in the morning has left for the hospital,, there could be an impromptu operation”
,
Bukk,, bukkk…
“What sound is it, Dek?”, Bu da looks surprised.
“Don't know Bunda”, Naz shook his head, then the voice sounded again. “It looks like from behind Bunda”, guess Naz.
“We go there”, invite Mother, then both go to the back, and sure enough the sound feels from the kitchen, ”Arsen,,,!! You tea again why, why is this kedondong her even thrown to the floor?”, Mother grumbled annoyed to see the drooping scattered on the floor which was then picked up again by Arsen one by one and put in a plastic basket where the fruit.
“Kan better like gini before being eaten, his kedondong slammed onto the floor continue to be washed again, freshly eaten, let sweet”, Arsen then wash back the kedondong, then wash it, naz and Mommy were sitting at the dinner table.
“Since when is the name of kedondong tea fruit tastes sweet?? Let made sweets also kecut tea still taste, ihh meni make ngareuy,, matak linu kana gigi”, Mother shudder in horror.
Arsen sat and stored kedondong on the table and there was already chili powder mixed with salt in a small plate, “I mean not as acidic if directly cut using a knife, Bunda”, Bunda, Arsen showed the kedondong to be eaten by him, “Tuh right if it has broken gini stay at gigit”, Arsen bit the kedondong that he has been concocting on chili powder that has been mixed with salt.
“Emm,,, delicious,, try it, Dek,,,”, Arsen offer on Naz.
“No want ah fear of stomach pain, “, reject Naz with a jutek tone.
“Truly nih do not want,, very good,,, we used to like misty kedondong from the tree had Pak Cakra it,, “, Arsen continue to ngabibita.
“Iya, but who likes to eat kedondong is Raline, not me,,“, he said reminding Arsen, while he just cut his lips and continued eating his kedondong.
Naz who saw that made him feel sad, “He seems to not like if I mention Raline's name, is he still not able to accept Raline who will soon be his wife?? even Raline is now pregnant with her child,,, hopefully gradually she can reciprocate Raline's feelings so great to her”, Naz muttered inwardly.
“Arsen,, you take a bath first, later please deliver kebaya to Oma's house, because Mommy wants to go to the same boutique Naz”, said The Mother.
“Oke ,, “, Arsen who had finished eating his condong, got up from his seat and left.
“Mother, why are we going to the boutique?”, Naz feels astonished.
“Ah yes, Mother of tea forgot to say, Mother of tea asked the boutique people to make kebaya for the wedding later, but only Mother the same daughter-in-law also Oma only, Oma only, because the time is tight and everything is impromptu, so do not have time to make a lot of clothes as diverse as at your wedding. Therefore, other family members are only told the color of the theme that will be used at the wedding later so that they wear clothes with matching colors according to the theme,, “, Mommy explained.
“Oh so yes,,,”, Naz only oh ria.
“Iya,, it's also a profit in the new boutique to produce new designs and the color of the tea in accordance with the theme of Raline and Arsen's wedding, so just make two more pieces and everything is done,, so,, Mommy took a shower first or yes, later we go to Boutik”, Mommy pamit .
“Iya Bund,,,”.Naz nodded.
Naz is now left alone in the dining room, he sees the condong still on the table, then he tries to take one and follow the way that Arsen did earlier, he made a mixture of chili powder and salt and bit him.
“Emmm,, good as it turns out,, spicy asem salty,,,”, murmured and then continued to eat the kedondong again and without feeling he had spent two pieces of kedondong, he said, now he has taken the third fruit.
“Hey,, he said he did not like,,, fear of stomach pain,, how to eat also”, Arsen's voice made Naz surprised.
“Cuman nyicipin aja kok”, Naz is still in jutek mode.
“Nyicipin kok run out two pieces that,, not yet that held,,, I was just finished one and a half”, Arsen even mocked.
“Biarin aja anyway , do not need to follow Mr. Cakra,, pirit”, ketus Naz.
“Tumben your husband is not ngekorin”, Arsen pleasantries.
“In the work, the time is yes every day to me continue, would you like to be fed what I will if he misses the mute work,, Brother himself why not work? Instead of participating in managing the Opa hospitality business?”, Naz turned the question upside down.
“Requipped leave with Mother,,”, Arsen proclaims.
“Oh,,”, replied Naz casually.
“Cock justan Oh”, Arsen Protests.
“Keep to say what?”, ketus Naz
“You're so jutek, Dek, look adorable tofu gak”, Arsen smiled widely.
Hearing that made Naz surprised, but Naz had tried to act normal like there was never a problem between the two, but when Arsen said like that as if he was teasing Naz, he said, “What the hell is he talking about like that,,,,?? Ma'am Iyem where the hell, Mommy again, shower long time very, this is if Kak Arsen how to, nyesel I did not join Mas Hardi earlier,,,,,, this is if Kak Arsen how to,,, gini nih if not nikutin husband talk, so kualat gini kan”.
Naz stood up with a roar of furious breath as if fear and tightness became one, his hands suddenly trembling, he stared intently at Arsen who stepped back to get closer to Naz.
“Don't you dare touch me !!”, exclaimed Naz by raising the index finger pointed at Arsen.
“Dek, you misunderstood,, Sister just...”, Arsen has not finished explaining and was spotted by Naz.
“Don't approach ....!”, Naz is trying to stop Arsen.
“Dek, Brother just helped you clean up the chili powder that was on the edge of your lips,,,”, Arsen tried to explain.
“Whatever the reason never dare to touch me !!”, exclaimed Naz with anger.
Naz took his bag and left the dining room, ran to the bathroom. He stood in front of the mirror with both hands resting on the sink, then turn the faucet and take the water from the tap and clean and rub with the hand of his mouth that was touched by Arsen with tears that continue to flow.
The shadow of the incident continued to appear in his head, even though he had been trying hard to forget and remove the event from his memory, even though he had been trying hard to forget, because he does not want the house that has been the most comfortable place that holds many beautiful memories and gives him happiness since he was born, it becomes a place that he does not want to go. Enough with he did not want to go into his room again, he did not want to hurt his parents if they never came to their house again.
Naz continued to cry while smothering his mouth so as not to make a sound. Fear as if continuing to haunt him, he was afraid that Arsen would do anything else to him, he was afraid if Mother found out about the event, he said, she was afraid that her husband would be angry if he found out about this and forbade her to visit her parents again. Various negative thoughts began to appear in his mind.
Naz remembered what her husband said the other day when he forbade her to go alone to Mother's house, ‘If Aa is far from you, Aa is afraid of not being able to keep and protect you’,,, now he feels alone with his fears and does not know who to ask for protection.
“Aa,,,, “. She quietly with her eyes closed that continue to shed tears, but believe me actually she wants to scream as loud as possible to call her husband so that he immediately comes to pick her up from a place that now feels scary to her. But unfortunately, her husband does not have Om Jin who can help her move from Surabaya to Jakarta with just one finger quote, Tring.... and also he does not have a magic bag like Doraemon which one of the tools there is a door anywhere.
Suddenly his phone rang accompanied by a vibration that indicated there was an incoming call. Naz wiped away a trace of tears with his palms, he immediately grabbed the phone from inside his bag, and when seen on the screen the name of his husband who contacted him via videocall connection.
Naz smiles at her as if there is an inner bond whether it is telepathy connected to her husband. He moved his fingers to shift the blue button with a picture of the shape of a video camera on his phone screen. But his movements stopped when he accidentally saw the appearance of himself in the mirror that looked messy because he was crying.
“No,, I can't talk to him under these conditions,,, he will ask a lot and will certainly be very angry if he finds out what just happened to make me cry like this”, Naz murmured in his heart, but his phone kept ringing.
“Had,, how's this,,,? If the video call must have seemed to cry out, if the usual phone also must have been heard from my bindeng sisters if I had finished crying”, if I had heard it,
Naz muttered back in his heart with a confused feeling of what to do, while his phone kept ringing as Arfin continued to contact him.
She finally decided to send her husband a message.
Naz
“Don't call or VC, I'm again in the bathroom nih”
My Huby
“Still at Mother's house?”
“Quick home yes, Aa feeling is not good”
Naz
“Iya still, Mommy wants to make me to the boutique, want to take kebaya to be used at Raline's wedding later”
My Huby
“But you're okay, baby?”
“Who's with his boutique?”
“Not the same him, right?”
Naz
“No, I'm fine”
“Ke The boutique is the same Mother, if she is told by Mother nganterin kebaya to the house of Oma”
My Huby
“Have a heart ya”
“I love you”
😘😘😘😘😘😘
Naz
“Iya,,”
“I love you too"
😘😘😘😘😘
“Sorry Aa, I lied, I don't want you to laugh at me, at least I'm calm now that you've contacted me, thanks to always be there for me”, at least, Naz had a dialogue of his own while looking at a picture of her husband that was plastered on his cell phone screen.
Naz sighed a few times to comfort himself, then washed his face with tap water, and his face was dried using a tissue he took from his bag. She put on powder and put lipstick on her lips.
After feeling completely calm, he came out of the bathroom. And it turned out that Mother was waiting for him in the middle room. Naz behaved as if nothing had happened and Mother did not seem suspicious at all. They also immediately went to the boutique owned by Mother.
Arriving at the boutique, the two were greeted warmly by employees there and Mommy immediately brought Naz inside to show the kebaya that had been made specifically for him. Naz is welcome to try it first and get into the dressing room.
After the second business was completed at the boutique, Naz brought his kebaya which was inserted into the godie bag. They also moved to go home, but in the middle of the trip, Naz invited his Mother to stop by the dimsum shop near his school, Mother obeyed Naz's will even though she had to turn around, even though she had to turn around, and they eat the mums on the spot. Naz, who was overflowing, invited his mother home because her phone ran out of battery, and they went back to Mother's house.
Arriving at home, Naz immediately took out his charger and went into the guest room and mcharger his phone that had run out of battery.
“Dek, why did you tea instead enter the guest room, instead of going to your own room? Didn't miss your room? Mother same father if again kangen same you like to sleep in your room tea, Dek”, asked Mother wonder.
“Eng, yes spontaneously a Mother, this will be the closest to the living room, you have already entered here aja, if I have to go up the stairs first, if I have to go, while my eyes were already sleepy this”, Naz gave an excuse.
“Yasudah atuh, you just sleep here, Mommy wants to go to the cake shop first ya take orders, because tomorrow the family from Bandung has started to arrive”, he said pamit.
“Iya Bund,,,”, Naz nodded and Mommy left Naz and closed the door. Naz lay on the bed sideways with the bag next to him, and he fell asleep.
***
Ceklek ,, there was the sound of the door opening, and the sound was the door of the guest room that Naz was using to rest. The footsteps of a person were heard approaching towards the bed where Naz was sound asleep. He was getting closer and was now standing by the bed. He saw Naz's bag that was at the end of the bed and almost fell, he immediately took it and placed it on the bedside table.
He went back to Naz, he stared fixedly at Naz with such a close distance. Her hand stroked Naz's hair slowly, then switched her cheekbones. Naz, who felt a touch, squirmed and opened his eyes slowly. And when he saw someone right in front of his face that was so close, he was aghast to open his eyes wide because there was an intruder entering his room.
