The Light of ANAS

The Tengil Pundung

The air on this night feels cold, but it looks bright from the many stars scattered that adorn the beautiful night sky, when the day had rained a moment and then bright again. Lucky tonight the rain did not fall back, so the BBQ party event could go according to the initial plan.

Dandy and Nervan grilled BBQ meat with friends Kiara and Arini were given the task of plating cooked food later while waiting to sit on a long bench with a table in front of him, ruby and the Andes caught Dandy and Nervan by continuing to take photos and record their activities.

Another case with Naz who sat alone in one of the four chairs which was about six meters away from those who were baking, equipped with a table that contained canned drinks, juice, and, and all sorts of snack foods. He only watched Dandy and Nervan roasting which was recokinized continuously by Ruby and Andes which made him occasionally smile amusedly, then he was silent for a moment sighing as if throwing away the stifling feeling of his chest and lowering his gaze.

“Happy birthday dear”, suddenly someone whispered in his ear from behind which of course he memorized the voice, Naz immediately sat up straight and turned his gaze to the side to look at the person, but there was a sense of disappointment coming back in his heart.

Naz stood up to shift the chair he was sitting in and positioned himself facing him, “Aa,,,,,, hiks hyks..”, he said then cried and wiped the tears with his fingers.

“Iya,, sayang, “, he said smiling, “Ehh kok even cry,,, blow the candle first to blow after the wind, not funny,,,”, Naz also blew the candle on the birthday cake brought by his lover with a look of sullen face and tears that returned to flow, ”Nah, now can continue to cry”, , he chuckled while holding the cake with his right hand.

“Ihhh,, Aa mean damn sih,, hyks,, huhuhu “ said Naz while hitting the chest of Arfin standing in front of him and Arfin also kept the cake on the table beside them.

“Sssstttt don't cry anymore, it will be ugly loh”, he said while wiping away Naz's tears by sweeping his two thumbs, Naz immediately hugged Arfin.”Sorry dear…. Aa apologize,, Aa promise this is the first and last time Aa ngerjain kamu”, Arfin rubbed the head of Naz who was still sobbing in his arms.”Sssttt dear already yes do not cry anymore, Aa has something for you, surely like”, he said persuading.

“Cie, who again hugged , as if the world belongs to both nih yee , it is we-we are all, ghoib ”, shouted Ruby who was accompanied by other cheers…. Uuuuuuu.

“Udah dare lo ya hug-huggle me, Ar”, shouted Dandy who was grilling.

“Not me who snuggled Dan, suddenly I was hugged just like that, yes resigned me anyway ”, Arfin also defended himself.

“Ihh, what the hell,,”, Naz directly pinched Arfin's stomach.

“Aduhhh,,, sick dear,, after being hugged so in this kinda” persecution, Arfin grimaced in pain and came out with his protest.

“Anjeerrr, maneh affectionate ka adi “, Dandy mocking Arfin.

"Anjeerrr, you love my sister".

“Teing ah, sirik aja maneh”, he said in a stiff tone like a child learning to talk.

" Don't know ah, envy lo".

“Teuing is not teing ih,,, Hhaha, Aa do not speak Sundanese, tickled with her”, Naz who was upset so laughed at the sentence Arfin said.

“Dandy who started loh, kok Aa who was wronged”, he said.

“Heh, no manners lo ,,, call me Brother Dandy”, Dandy yells back.

“Najees bang “. Arfin refused raw.

“Badness lo,, has been my macarin mah without permission, now do not want to call me Brother, do not expect to get blessing from me”, Dandy continues to express his frustration.

“Bodo very,, adek lo people also want,,, ble”, Arfin who want to lose even mock by sticking out his tongue.

When hearing the silly conversation between Arfin and Dandy, hearing the word blessing Naz immediately remembered with Father who had not given him his blessing,

”Yasalam,, I just remembered about Dad,, how this,, Brother Arfin is even here while Dad is inside, if you find out how Dad, how, if you are,,can-can I speak directly to Brother Arfin to break our relationship”, Naz murmured in his heart.

“Hai,, ko even daydream,, why Aa question not answered…? Again daydreaming who the hell Aa already here, hem”.Arfin asked as he rubbed Naz's head.

“Iya,, what was it, Aa nanya what,,, ?”, Naz asked back.

“You why,,,? what do you think until it's pale, let's sit first”, Arfin shifted the chair to be sat by Naz.

“Eng no,,, I ,, I just,,,, I'm hungry, from lunch not yet eat”, Naz answered nervously and sat down.

“Hah, how can you?, you do have ulcer disease,, Aa takein food yes into,, here is just a canned drink, same juice snack doang,,,”, Arfin was about to step foot but his hand was pulled by Naz.

“Eng did not need,, Aa did not need to go in,, here aja..”, Naz prevented Arfin from going inside for fear that Arfin would meet his father.

“Why,,, ? still kangen yes,, ”, he said laughing mischievously.

“He em,,, “, Naz nods shyly.

“Ah yes, Aa just remember,, this is your birthday cake has not been cut loh, eat this want?”, Arfin just remembered the tart cake that he brought earlier.

“He em ,,mau,,”, Naz was nodding his head.

“Eh, but there is no knife, I went inside first ya take the knife to the kitchen.”, Arfin again have a reason to enter the house.

“Don't,, um don't need Aa, don't use knife”, Naz continues to block his intention to not enter the house.

“Keep what dong? the time is directly plotted by hand, not funny baby, you are not a mouse, you why the hell keep megangin? Aa will not run away dear, really deh.... “, Arfin looked at Naz with wonder, “ Yasudah Aa borrowed a knife from the other mangosteen ya”, , after Naz nodded, Arfin made his way to the roasting place, which was 6 meters from where they were sitting.

“Ngapain lo here,, have finished his kangen-kangeen event?”, Dandy instantly ninyir.

“Adek lo kelaperan tuh has not eaten from lunch, has anyone cooked yet?”, Arfin look-look food there.

“Anjeer,, crazy lo ya,,, it's been blatant now ya”,Nervan shook his head.

“Ngapain is hiding, he is not my mistress, so frankly ajja kali”, Arfin replied casually.

“Norak lo, new mentang have a girlfriend”, Nervan just keep mocking Arfin.

“No need to shingle, lo many girls yes, I mah just one,”, he said smiling while raising both eyebrows,” No clean knife what yes, he said, that's like an abis knife used a vegetable cut with meat yes, I pinjem fork yes yes ,”, Arfin brought a fork, “You cook aja diligently yes, “, he said mocking.

“Lo” village, said Dandy annoyed.

Arfin returned to Naz with a fork in his hand, and he sat back in the chair next to Naz. Arfin split his cake with little difficulty because it uses a fork and the results were chaotic, the pieces like anything important can be eaten.

Arfin took a piece of cake with a fork, “ Aa bribe yes,,,,aaakkk”, Arfin thrust the cake in front of Naz's mouth.

“I ate myself ah ah, shame to see them”, said Naz while throwing a glance at the toaster team.

“Biarin aja, they do also ghoibs, yes think so, they are not visible but only heard,,,, open his mouth aaaakk”, he said still forced to feed.

“Ahh,, do not want, that's Kak Dandy concerned about here”, Naz still refused.

“Let's just him look here, he'll have eyes, baby ,, ''already aaakk,,,”, Arfin continue to force and Naz still refused, “Oh you don't want to be bribed with your hands, yes, do you want to be bribed with your lips, hem.???”, he said smiling ignorantly and he also got a shot from Naz, “It's a pity don't bully that,, serem knew the kayak of suzana rose from the grave,, hahahha,, let's open his mouth aaakk”, finally Naz was willing to be fed while meditating his eyes with an annoyed look at Arfin.

“Aa long time kayak Bang Evan ih,”, said Naz who had just swallowed his chewed cake.

“Ya is not it,, do you want Aa to have a girlfriend a lot like her?”, she asked idly.

“Awas if you dare,, I'll break your neck”, Naz spoke while twisting his index finger as if slitting his throat.

“Uhhh,, serem,, Aa takar”, he said chuckling, “Aaaak again”, Arfin again feed Naz until a few more feeds, when the fifth bribe Naz refused him.

“Udah Aa, I'm full, there's no way I'm spending this tart all, there will be fat”, he said.

“Iya later fat kayak puntelan fart again yak”, he said chuckle remembering the words Opa the other day and it made Naz move his lips, “Don't frown that ih gomasy it, later Aa kiss loh, you know, hahaha”, Arfin instead laughed because he saw Naz immediately change his expression for fear of being kissed, then Arfin poured the juice into an empty glass that was available in a tray on the table, “Nih drink first,,,, you know,,,”, he also thrust the glass at Naz and immediately drank it, “Aa has something for you”.

“What?”, asked Naz who just finished drinking.

“Tuh behind mu”, Arfin pointed towards the back of Naz which contained an animal enclosure.

Naz looked back about two meters from his seat, and he stood up and approached sometimes. “ Wahhh,,, the cat is so cute,, can I get it out of this cage ?”, Tanya Naz who is then adopted by Arfin, and she took it out and carried it straight away.”Uuunchh, very funny..”.

“Ahhhh,, seriously? This is for me?”, asked Naz enthusiastically.

“Sure,,, that's my cat, because I often go to Surabaya so he was abandoned, so I love him for you alone, let anyone take care of”, Arfin also explained the origin of the cat.

“Hah, that means I'm the cat's baby sitter?”, he asked in surprise.

“Hahaha,, new owner more precisely, if Baby sitter I have to pay you dong.”, said Arfin chuckled.

“So this is my birthday gift?”, he asked again.

“Emm, you could say so”, Arfin replied casually.

“Excuse me, is the bribe-grabbing event over?”, Ruby comes to them, "Wahhhh funny this cat,, ", he said when he saw the cat in the arms of Naz.

“There was no Ruby bribery event, only I bribed her, she did not bribe me”, said Arfin who sounded insinuating.

“His Aa man also did not ask for , wle”, Naz night mocking him by sticking out his tongue.

“Hahaha, that means you are insensitive Naz”, Ruby even mocked her best friend.

“Tuh, Ruby just understand,,,”, Arfin feel get the ally of his defense front.

“Yes Ruby is very experienced, just dating from class 6 SD,,”, Naz reveal the secrets of Ruby.

“Woww,, “, said Afin dumbfounded..

“Yee, it's mah don't count or his name is also Love Monkey ”, Ruby denies.

“Keep now Cinta Kingkong?”,Naz even ngaco.

“All you love Gorila”, said Ruby who seemed upset..

“It turns out your girlfriend is still a Simpangse family ya Ruby,, hahahahaha”, said Arfin laughed and followed by Naz who laughed at Ruby.

“Arghh, you two are indeed a coslet couple,, already yu ah Naz we light fireworks , nih I have brought the same match”,, Ruby just remembered her goal of approaching Naz to invite him to play fireworks.

“Where are the fireworks from?? Don't you buy firecrackers?”, asked Naz.

“That's the Andes buying fireworks, I told him to buy firecrackers with mercon,,,,, I,,, uh pas came just there are fireworks doang with the reason the sound of firecrackers is the same mercon afraid to make the same hangers damage the ears”, Ruby explained. ”Let's go over there”, Ruby invites Naz a little away from his seat earlier, towards the land that is still empty without a seat.

Ruby and Naz hold a stick of fireworks and light a match until the fire ignites the end of the fireworks and lights up, Naz plays fireworks while holding a cat who was originally a henchman, and the fire starts, so look scared to see fireworks, “Uluh reed... You're scared huh,,,?? No problem , just calm down this is not bomb”, Naz said speaking to the cat in his cradle.

Turns out the cat remained terrified and began to rebel, finally Naz released the cat, which turned out to go to Arfin who was sitting watching him, “It turns out the cat was willing to complain to his master, hahaha, funny”, he said, said laugh.

While playing fireworks, Naz sees Dad show up and walk to the table where Arfin is, , , “Dad, how is it, why is Dad approaching Arfin”, muttered Naz in his heart with a look of fear, he immediately approached there and the father was sitting on one of the chairs that one table with Arfin.

“A,, dad,,,”, Naz greet with a wave.

“Yes, why”, ask his father.

“Emm,, emmm,, dad what's here?”, asked Naz stale-ass.

“Dad also want to join the party BBQ dong, right host here time yes nimbrung, come here sit”, Dad pointed to one of the seats that are still empty, he said, “You why tense so dear?”, he asked in wonder.

“Em,, no,, just plain,,, hehehe”, Naz even grinning.

“Arfin,, what are you talking about my favorite son, until he is afraid of me?”, Dad asked as if he was investigating.

Deg ,, Naz who had been afraid and now even more afraid, “Oh, I must have told him to send me,, yasalamm,, how this,,,, you know,,, finish my romance history, already past the age toge now want a lifetime of hydroponic spinach,” Naz murmured in his heart.

“No talking om,, just sorry for working on it”, Arfin replied casually.

“Lying Well, by the way already dear-loving tuh until the bribes even”, Dandy who approached them to give up the food of his finished grill and plating by his lover also joined the conversation.

“Oh, yes, “, Dad said as he looked at Naz and Arfin alternately as if asking for an explanation, while the two appeared to be misbehaving in shame.

“Hehehe,, I saw Naz's face pale Om, and it turns out he hasn't eaten since last afternoon, so I bribe him to eat this cake”, Arfin explained.

“Loh, baby, you should not be late to eat, later your stomach ulcer can recur loh”, Dad reminded Naz of the disease, “Thank you Arfin,, Dad,, it turns out you really care for my son”, he said smiling.

Naz was surprised by what his father said to Arfin.

“Thank you also Om has allowed me to establish a relationship with Om's favorite daughter in”, said Arfin who made Naz feel surprised.

“And you must keep in mind to fulfill your promise it”, Dad reminded me again.

“Any commander”, said Arfin chuckled.

“This,, what does it mean......??”, Naz finally asked a question that had intrigued him.

“She doesn't know Ar?”, her father Naz asks Arfin and the guy instead shakes his head while grinning.

“Know about what, Well?”, Naz is getting curious.

Mr. Rizal was chuckling to see Naz who looked confused, “So, Saturday a week ago Arfin and his brother came to see Father and Mother, who were confused, explained some things and Arfin apologized for your macarin without our permission, and he also asked permission to stay in touch with you, but Dad gave him the same terms that Papa you asked him”, Dad explained.

“So, means the day after Opa's birthday and after that incident Dad already gave permission?? Why Daddy and Mommy don't tell me?”, Naz feels shocked and disappointed.

“Because Arfin asked him not to tell you first, he said he and your three best friends would like to take care of you because you are soon birthday”, he said, Father spoke innocently while Arfin who had winked as a code seemed to be ignored.

Naz sighed harshly, “You guys,,, you all are indeed annoying..”, he said in an annoyed tone, then Naz got up from his seat and ran inside his house.

“Naz…. “, Arfin calls him but Naz doesn't press him.”He must be very angry Om”, he said, continuing to look at Naz until he entered the house.

“So, Naz really do not know what??”, Mr Rizal was surprised by what happened,,, “Sorry Arfin, Om did not know that Naz would be that angry, he said, Om thought you said you said you were sorry for working on it, you said everything ", said Dad.

" Not yet, Om, ", said Arfin in a sad tone.

"Arfin, you better samperin him, if left if the rancid is angry it will be difficult to persuade him" he gave advice.

Arfin also seemed silent as if thinking of a way to persuade his angry lover, then he smiled ignorantly as if he had found a way to persuade his favorite girl.
