Sonia
At the third time, the door of the apartment was opened, but not Dimas, but a very beautiful and elegant middle-aged woman.
Glekk...
"Drey, we're not in the wrong unit, are we?"
"No, this is really Dimas' unit, I've been here." Audrey looked equally confused.
"Who are you looking for?" The woman spoke kindly.
"Who ma?" Brother Dimas appeared from inside, initially somewhat surprised to see them but then smiled warmly.
"Ma this is a candidate for a daughter-in-law of mama, she deliberately came to make silahturahmi same mama, mama mungung again in Jakarta."
"Oh yeah, which one? it's two."
"Who wears the hijab, if this one is the candidate Galih." Brother Dimas pointed at Audrey with his chin.
She and Audrey were shocked instead of playing to hear the man's words, As Audrey stared at him questionnaires As if speaking through the eyes, they looked at each other.
"*Since when did the union have a relationship with Dimas, why don't I know?"
"No, Drey, don't believe me. He's bohoong*."
He shook his head slowly towards Audrey who continued to cast a look of intimidation at him.
"Geez, let's go in." The middle-aged woman opened the door wide which immediately cut off her eye contact with Audrey.
Just entering one step, he was again surprised by the appearance of four-year-old toddlers, cheeks puffed up, two pigtail hair, running small towards them.
"That's Dimas's son." Said the woman who was called by Dimas' sister.
Whaat?? what the hell, Brother Dimas already has a wife!! so where is his wife to the point that the man takes a girl aside like a bachelor.
His eyes pusher through the corners of the room, afraid suddenly brother Dimas' wife came from all directions. His body was suddenly stiff, he was shaking the viewer. Coming to Dimas's apartment was a very wrong decision.
"Come greetings with aunty." Mom's voice, brother Dimas.
The boy complied, greeting him and Audrey one by one. Then a sweet smile came at her, long enough for something like warmth to suddenly flow in her chest, sweet duuhh.
"You don't work Drey?" Brother Dimas did not know shamefully landed the buttocks on the sofa right next to him sitting.
"Dong's job, this was just about to leave, but the union asked to bring her here."
"Oh yeah, why don't you call, let me pick you up." Toleh brother Dimas to him, who he knew was holding back a laugh at this time, really successfully make him die of lice. And he was eager to squeeze the devil's mouth, this man could...
"Yes, I said yes, I want to work." Audrey standing.
"I am too." He followed the stand also made everyone look at him until he was wrong.
"Loh Sonia just came, son, I want to go home." mama brother Dimas looked at her.
O Lord, finish your story this time Sonia
Finally he let go of Audrey bitterly, the intention of the heart to return the goods given by Dimas, even he who was trapped in a complicated situation made by the man.
"Anty anty Conia, macuk macuk." The little girl tugged at her clothes to go back inside.
"Whose name is dear?" he pinched the boy's cheek.
"Well, Ala."
"Name Ara." Brother Dimas came closer to them.
"Where's mom?" Finally for the first time he dared to look at the man.
"His mother is in heaven."
"Had died? sorry." Quickly he lowered.
"Sonia in yuk." Mom's voice, brother Dimas, was heard calling.
The middle-aged woman embraced Sonia's shoulder, inviting her to sit on the dining chair in the kitchen. One thing that touched his heart, mama kak Dimas was of course a top class and educated woman, could be seen from his style, but was not at all arrogant, the woman was very friendly and open.
"Okay, mama did not know that Dimas already had a candidate, you know what mama brought souvenirs from Bandung. Abisnya Son, Dimas is busy, go home Bandung once a month, if not visited kayak gini, difficult to meet him."
He just grinned crisply, wanting the heart to refute that he was not at all a candidate for Dimas's brother but completely dumb lips, lost all words.
"Home time for dinner, let's cook first."
"Can't tan, because it's not saying goodbye to amak at home."
"Huss, let's call Tan anyway, call mom like Dimas. Call her tantrums, or mama's talking here."
"No need to ma, Sonia will call." Inadvertently his eyes collided with the annoying man, brother Dimas mengulum smile, especially if not to mocked himself.
Quickly he threw his eyes away in another direction.
"What are we cooking, Son? this morning mama's got meat, there's cabbage too, we're cooking tongseng like it's good."
He just nodded with a smile.
"Ara played with papa first in front of gih, Oma same aunty want to cook first."
"Don't want to play with papa, Ala help anty huh?" the little girl pushed towards him.
"Okee, if that's Ara sitting sweet here, cut vegetables first."
"Okeeeyy."
.
.
.
Quite a long time three different generation women were struggling in the kitchen until the smell of kuah tongseng spread to all corners of the apartment. He was busy tidying the dining table with Ara's help in a cute little girl when the sound of adzan magrib was heard slipping.
Allahuakbar...
Allahuakbar...
"Ma, Dimas to the mosque first." Dimas' voice sounded from the front, which made him turn his head.
Gleekkkk...
The man was different than usual, still wearing a polo shirt, but wearing a sarong and peci, with the rest of the ablution water that seemed to wet his face. Quickly he lowered his head again with an unguided beating heart. Oh my's...
***
"There's only one, we pray over it." Mom's voice, brother Dimas.
"Yes ma, mama first, Sonia is still nyuapin Ara." Well, the little girl was somehow so spoiled to him, when she just met him too, but she liked it because it was so cute that it was so different from her father.
"Son, pray gih mama already."
"Yes ma."
This big apartment why there is only one room, he was a little nervous when entering the room of Dimas, where mama called him to pray.
The first impression when entering, the masculine smell of men immediately ransacked the nose, the room was neat and clean, there was only a large size bed, a wardrobe and a workbench with a wall nearby are attached to small papers such as scrap paper.
Quickly he prayed, when opening the door, the sound of the door opened.
Nyea...
His heart slipped, the man stood stiffly on the doorstep, in an irregular motion he folded his face, put it on the bed and walked towards the exit.
"I want to return the goods that you love to Amak and Agil." He said as he passed by the door.
"Why returned?"
He just shook his head slowly before Ara pulled him.
"Anty am papa eat, Oma wait."
.
.
.
"Ma, no, this is mostly." He was very unwell because my mother brother Dimas brought so much food for him to bring home.
"Once, tomorrow mama has returned to Bandung again, send greetings to amak you yes." The woman patted her shoulder gently, giving a warm touch by hugging her. Of course this scene added to his long list of heart discomfort.
He swallowed saliva many times to calm his heart, kissed Ara and followed Dimas's leg while waving his hand.
"Dadaahh any, anty's drug." The little girl screamed with her departure.
"Hhh wait, Sonia." Mama called him back, made her step and brother Dimas stopped.
"Yes?"
"This is your stuff you missed." Mama handed over the paperbag she brought earlier, making him have to sigh slowly when finally the object turned back to her hand.
