Qanita hurriedly opened the door hearing the sound of her son's motor amid the thunderous roar and the rushing stream of rain.
“Yes Allah, Son. Wet your bed,”
“No, Ma, ‘kan wear raincoat, just really cold,”
“Partially why not stop first anyway?”
“Suddenly rushing right in the middle of the road, lazy ah stop first, so I continue aja,” said Areno while releasing a raincoat, after the helmet he left first.
“So it's been a long time, lightning is also no longer fit I get to the house Arani, uh torrent again, lightning again just as I've been way here,”
Hearing her son's execution, Qanita frowned in confusion. He was immediately curious about the reason Areno went to Arani's house.
“You're from Arani's house? Why, Ren?”
“Antar Arani, Ma. So I went home with him, it was really good for me, Ma,” Areno said as he lowered his eyebrows looking at the mother with a big smile. From the look on his face, Areno was truly happy.
“Cie who came home with Arani ihiw” goda Qanita apda puta only wayangnya it.
“Yes because I forced, Ma,”
“Hah? How did you force it anyway? Oh this kid is really outrageous. You can't dong maksa Arani to go home with you. I like Arani to go home with whom. Didn't you say Arani was picked up by her papa?”
“Hahahaha not forced anyway, Ma. I ajakin aja, uh but ngajaknya emang somewhat maksa as well heh hahahaha,” said Areno while widened, and his feet stepped into the house.
“Where is the ceiling? Mom curious, story dong,”
“Yes later I told you but now I want to take a shower first yes, Ma,”
“Iya shower first, later mama make french fries same hot cappucino your favorite let you warm,”
“Asyiik thanks yes, Beautiful Mama,”
“Sama-sama, already up there. Shower and go down immediately. Mama's same stories while we drink cappucino and eat french fries,”
“Siap, Ma,”
Areno immediately rushed to his room to clean up. While his own mother went to the kitchen to fry potatoes and make hot cappucino for him and his only son.
When she was busy frying, there was the sound of her husband who had just returned to work saying hello. Ghali got the aroma of cooking from the direction of the kitchen and He immediately approached because He guessed his wife there.
“Assalamualaikum,”
“Waalaikumsalam, wuih papa has arrived. Almost the same Areno yes. Areno took a shower. Raining him, but wearing a raincoat anyway,”
“Areno just got home? The door was not closed tightly,”
“Papa's message can enter also yes,” said Qanita while chuckling.
“Fried potatoes? Papa wants dong, Ma,”
“Yes for sure, Pa. Hot cappucino or not?”
“Mau dong, whose caffeine-caffeine will not be nolak. Shower first, join ya,”
“Sip, please mr Ghali,”
Ghali chuckled a short swipe of his wife's arm then he rushed to the room. Qanita refocused on frying, not forgetting to make sure chili sauce is still available. He prepared the dishes, after the potatoes were cooked He immediately served the potatoes on the flat plate and He took them to the dinner table, and of course He closed. Then he went to the kitchen again to make a drink.
Qanita brought one cup of hot cappucino to the dinner table. Because her husband and son are still bathing, so she uses all hot water, not mixed with cold water. So that it does not quickly cool the drink made.
********
areno, sorry to bother you. You've reached home ‘kan?-
Areno was drying his hair with a towel, before going down to the ground floor. One hand dries his hair, the other hand he uses to charge his cell phone. Coinciding when he connected the charger with the mobile phone, there was an incoming message from Arani. It made Areno smile happily.
“This is really Arani chat me first? Anjir, crazy crazy crazy tumben crazy! I am so happy this woy! Where queried has arrived home or not yet,”
Areno's reaction was immediately excessive because he had always been happy to send a message to Arani even though Arani long responded or did not even respond at all.
“I don't think I'm njir. Kok tumben really, where there is an event nanyain I have reached home or not, ‘kan sweet really it according to me,”
- Get home, Ran. Just had a shower
Areno immediately typed in a reply. And shortly thereafter the message from Arani came in again. Areno's smile widened because he thought just once Arani sent a message, it still continues.
- Thank goodness that's it. I was told by mama nanyain's
“Bodo really wants to ditch the cake that tells, or the will of himself, I don't care. The point is he had my chat first and nanyain thing that I think sweet,” murmured Areno.
good rest, Ran-Happy
After typing the reply, Areno placed his phone on the nightstand, while his hands continued to dry his hair with a towel. He waited for a reply from Arani but there was no more. The message he sent was only read by Arani alone, without reply.
It's okay, Areno doesn't bother about that. He immediately put the towel in place, then he rushed to the ground floor not forgetting to bring his phone. He still hopes Arani sends a reply again.
Areno went to the dining room, and there was already his mother sitting down while reading the food recipe book.
“Halo, Beautiful Mama,” Areno greet mamamya warmly.
“Halo, have finished shower turned out,”
“Papa too,”
Areno and Qanita turned to the source of the voice. Areno smiled at his papa who turned out to have gone home and even had a bath.
“When papa till?” Areno asked his Papa who was now joined by him and his mother.
“Almost with you, Ren,” replied his mother.
“Oh fitting I shower time huh? Pantesan I don't know,”
“Let's have the same coffee eating potatoes,”
“Assyik seems really good,”
Areno sumringah served his favorite food and drink. The atmosphere is supportive to enjoy the two mixes because it is still raining out there.
“Because hunger is good, Ren?”
“Hahahah mama tau aja,”
“Take a story dong, so how is the story you same Arani can go home together? Did you really force Arani?”
Qanita, Areno, and Ghali began to enjoy the fries and cappucino served by Qanita at the dinner table.
“So ‘kan I want to wait for him until Om Radi papanya Arani come pick up Arani on campus. He told me to go home, but I didn't want to. I want to wait for him until Om Radi comes, keep raining ‘kan. Well, finally we both wait at the security guard post with Mr. Agung who happens to be guarding in the post. Arani's father did not come, it turns out stuck because of the flood, well Arani finally wants to go home alone. He did not want to take his papa. Because the papa ‘kan again got stuck, continued flooding anyway. He asked his father to go straight home. Well he said he would ride a motorcycle taxi, but his papa should not be worried. He kept saying he would ride the transport that the car is not the motor. Anyway, Arani did not want to be picked up by his papa, let his papa go straight home. From there I persuaded her to go home together. At first I didn't want to, but I finally did because I forced it,”
Qanita and Ghali stared intently at Areno. Areno immediately laughed and crossed his hands in front of his chest.
“No-no, I don't mean Arani. I just invite you a few times and finally Arani want to deh. So I'm the same she went home with that story. I drove him straight home in the middle of the rain, the atmosphere became like a courtship guy like that, Ma, Pa. Ciee dating yes ‘kan emang dating,”
Qanita and Ghali laughed at Areno's telling of the story with her angry expression. Seeing Areno as happy as it was to be able to go home with Arani, they as parents also feel happy.
“But you delivered a child safely and safely ‘kan?”
“Oh clear dong, Pa. No abrasions it's Om Radi's daughter, Pa. I don't want to make him why, later I'm harder to get blessing,”
“Hadeh, son..Son, my blessing you think, learn the real thing! Just wanted to graduate,”
“Yes what's wrong thinking blessing, Pa? Time to marry ya ‘kan. Uh but I think Arani's parents have my blessing,”
“Arani certainly did not go home with Areno,”
“Enak aja mama nih by the way. Yes, Arani will not regret it. I'm sure he's happy. Continued to meet his mother briefly, but if Om Radi it seems not yet home deh,” said Areno.
“Keep what was Aunt Helen's reaction?” Qanita asked her son.
“No reaction, Ma. But he seemed happy that his son had come home, surprised also look like because it was delivered with me. I continued to be taught to enter first but I do not want to be afraid of heavy rain again, actually the incident, on the road here heavy rain is either lightning anymore. But I don't want to stop, I keep gas,”
“Should stop first, find a safe place. What the hell is the rush to the house. ‘And its important principle is safe until home,”
“I'm lazy to stop, Pa. It's been hit too. So it's a responsibility to stop,”
“You're speeding ya?”
“A little,”
“Halah little to no knowledge speeding mulu. Don't speed dong, Ren, especially if carrying passengers,”
“It's quiet, Pa. I'm not speeding if it's right to bring Arani, it's fitting itself is not speeding anyway,”
“Ih don't look for your danger ah! Moreover, you brought a child of the person,”
“Hehehe yes next time no that, Pa, I promise,”
*********
This afternoon Areno came to Arani's house carrying something. The main intention comes of course to meet Arani, but the second intention is certainly to provide food for Arani in the hope that Arani likes what He brings.
“Come, Areno. You mostly think,”
Arani invites Areno to eat together. Areno. One side is happy to be invited to eat together but on the other side he is embarrassed. Give but eat. That sounds weird.
“Nevent gone, Ran. I eat at home. At home there is the martabak kok,” said Areno who finally chose to refuse.
“Why don't you want?”
“Yes because I don't feel good, I've been giving, uh eating anyway,”
“Ih how did you say that anyway?”
“You can eat yes, I want to go home,”
“So you want to go home?” Arani asked as she raised one of her eyebrows. Arani just wants her lover to come eat what she brought to her house.
“Yoi, I want to go straight home. You eat with mama, papa, and Ria aja yes, I'm home, sorry to disturb,”
“Ih you don't bother even I should apologize. You bothered to bring food,”
“Not bothered,”
