The Shah of First Love

THE SISTER?

Mr. Muji came home even though it was last weekend to be this week. Been at home for a long time. Mr. Muji was walking around with a sarong he made a jacket, the wind was so strong and unfriendly this afternoon. Once he answered the greetings of the neighbors, his steps now stopped to see Raihan with his friends in the side saung Empang was chatting and one of them was busy with books.

“Eh, Mr. Muji.” Raihan nodded slowly while smiling kindly. “Where to, Sir?” continued.

“Cuman just walk, your father is there, Rai?” sahut pak Muji's.

“It just so happens to be in front, again drinking coffee alone, just meet, Mr.” Raihan explained and Mr. Muji nodded, not forgetting the smile. Mr. Muji's eyes turned to Amarendra who was silently listening while staring.

“Why is your friend's face, Rai?” Show Mr. Muji and Amarendra down.

Raihan laughed and grabbed Amarendra's shoulder. “Gelut him, Sir,” he replied original and Mr. Muji shook his head and left.

“Appaan you, lie everything.” Amarendra protest.

Raihan cengengesan and from behind the shoulder Amarendra ditoel.

“That's his father Kani.” Whispering quietly in Amarendra's ear and Amarendra slumped, he hit Raihan's shoulder and Raihan burst into laughter. Embarrassing, if he knew it was Kani's father, maybe he would argue and explain. Raihan really made his mood break.

“Quiet, Maren.” Raihan and the others were still laughing and Amarendra would not listen to him again.

“Not really you, Rai.” Amarendra was upset and finished the book. One week he didn't come in, a lot of lessons left, that's why he came and hoped Kani would pass, but for a long time, the girl never showed up. A little disappointed but yes, what is important is that tomorrow, you can see it at school.

 The day he was waiting to arrive, first entering the school was immediately called to the teacher's room, they just asked why it could happen. Amarendra was confused whether to explain or not, he did not dare to speak, and finally just explained briefly that there was something to do with family, debt, just that and then he was allowed out to enjoy his rest.

“Maren.” Kani calls and Amarendra stops his steps and then turns around. Kani looked at his face. “Truly feel good?” He looked worried and Amarendra nodded.

His hand touched his stomach. “I'm hungry, Kani. Come.” Amarendra stepped up and Kani followed. Both heading to a stall, Amarendra wants to eat noodles soup with eggs and vegetables, chili pieces also might make the noodles more delicious. He ordered two then sat down next to Kani. Kani was still watching him, carefully tracing his face with her two clear eyes.

“How bad they hit you.” Kani stopped staring and Amarendra smiled. “Do not hurt while eating? Your lips are still like that. You took your medicine right?”

“I get tired of taking medicine, maybe other drugs can help make everything healed soon.” Amarendra put the biscuits in his mouth to prop up while waiting for Mie.

“What medicine works for your lips?” Kani thought hard and Amarendra looked at the pink little lips.

“Maybe anu..” Amarendra sighed, almost lost. “You want?” Amarendra stretched out his hand, there were still two pieces of biscuits there.

“What did you mean earlier?” Kani approached, urging an answer. Amarendra moved away and stuffed the girl's mouth with biscuits. Kani is grinning and forced to chew. Soon Mie was escorted and Amarendra accepted. He did not have time for breakfast, bad luck, lazy to find breakfast. Kani occasionally glanced at Amarendra, how greedy was that man, if tomorrow he brought something from home would he want to eat it? Kani knows that Amarendra only lives with his brother, both of whom cannot cook, often buy not as expected and then a lot of food is wasted.

The two chatted occasionally and Amarendra's phone vibrated, a message coming in from her mother telling her she was home. Amarendra almost choked, came home suddenly with the situation is still like this? Abah must be confused to explain later.

Amarendra just agreed and then put down his phone. Because of the incident, his phone cracked quite badly and it became the center of attention Kani.

KANIRARAS with his sisters went to the garden to help their parents.

Someone is harvesting kale, Dahlia with Kenanga, so enthusiastic. Someone helped dig up the red soil to take cassava, Kani and his mother. While Shamsir was holding a small bucket and Mr. Muji went into the sewer that receded water and made the fish visible and easy to take it. Shamsir kept shouting at Mother and Her Sisters while getting the big fish. They all laughed cheerfully.

“Fried dry, yes, Bu later.” Dahlia was impatient.

“Originally you guys cleaned it, Mom cook.” Ms. Ismi is expressionless and without looking over. Dahlia and Kenanga don't matter but Kani, she's never been able to clean the fish.

The voice of Adhan Ashar roared, they all went home and Kani first arrived with Shamsir. Kani immediately took a shower, already uncomfortable with her smelly, sweaty body.

Not long ago he took a bath, Dahlia had banged-gedor wanted to pee he said, forcing in and both of them stormed, out of anger their mother.

Mr. Muji silently stared at Shamsir looking at Kenanga ready to clean the fish. Mr. Muji rubbed the sweat and received the ginger milk given by his wife, he had rarely drank coffee, not as often as before, reducing cigarettes as well and Mr. Muji remembered the words of Haryawan. Ask him to go to check himself for his cough that never healed. Mr. Muji will go to Puskesmas tomorrow to visit his friend's shop also near the Terminal.

“Kani, help your sisters let everything go quickly.” Bu Ismi rules and Kani shakes her head.

“I've had a shower, Mom. There's no way to touch those fishy-smelling fish.” Kani passes, a quick shower is the reason.

Bu Ismi pecking while kneading the seasoning. Dahlia and Kenanga whisper to each other that Kani deliberately took a bath first so as not to help them and after Kani prayed, she was asked to go to Warung. On the way he met Kalinga. Somehow the man came home a lot and made Kani finally ventured to ask.

“I quit my job yesterday, want to find another job.” Kalingga.

“Oh..” Kani is confused as to what to chimed in or react to.

Kalingga turned his head, staring at the wet hair of the girl. “Still close to that guy named Maren? I'm just worried, Kani.”

“Iya, Mas, I know. But he's good, really. The longer we got to know, the more comfortable I felt, she was already like a big sister to me.” Kani smiled, trying to convince her and Kalingga looked at her.

“Kakak? Then I'm what do you consider?” Kalingga chuckled, he was curious as to what Kani thought of him. Kani scratched her head and could not answer. “He seems to like you,” he said back seriously.

Kani shook her head hard. “Which is possible, Mas. Where anyone likes me especially Amarendra, just like I am friends with Yana, I am the same she is.” Kani widens her smile and Kalingga mutters.

“Part yourself, yes. Don't get too broad to hang out. That woman is nicer yes at home.” Kalingga smiled and Kani nodded in understanding.

Somehow Kani felt Kalingga's attitude changed, more attentive. He doesn't understand the mind of men. Kalingga doesn't like him being close to Amarendra.

When Kani enters the shop, she suddenly forgets what she has to buy, her conversation with Kalingga makes her forget everything. Kalingga was the first man she liked and it was a long time ago. The beginning of the amazement then likes to be followed by a special feeling especially now Kalingga often invites him to talk, making him happy and to the mind to be able to have the man's mobile number.
