The Story of Children Pharmacy

Chapter 89

“Udah yet?” Areno asked his girlfriend who is currently choosing snacks in a minimarket not far from their school.

“Not yet, I'm looking for that spicy salty one. But a lot, I was confused about the choice. Help me choose dong, Ren,”

“You want a spicy one? Don't, you'll have a stomachache. We as humans don't look for disease, Ran. People who are sick just want to ngusir disease, is you even ngundang disease want to come,”, said Areno advised his lover to thwart the intention to buy spicy food. Areno is just afraid of Arani getting a stomachache.

“But I want to, buy one anyway,”

“Yes is up,”

“Not anything ‘kan?” Arani asked Areno who shrugged his shoulders. Areno did not give permission. But Arani still wants to buy spicy food.

“I think it may be yes,” said Arani while chuckling while continuing her activities choosing spicy snacks.

After getting potato chips with balado seasoning, Arani immediately smiled satisfied. This is what He genari, Arani laughed contentedly in his heart. “Finally can also be spicy and delicious,”

“Tau from where if it's delicious?”

“The accuracy is so from the picture in the wrap,”

“Yes, Ran. Pictures in food packages always look good and the amount is many. But ‘kan often lied. You are still plain,” said Areno.

“Yes, but this feels good. I just wanted this one,”

“Yes is up. But I don't want you to have a stomachache. The picture in the package is very spicy,”

“Well you also saw from the wrap. Beware carefully lied to you,” said Arani who discussed the words of her lover earlier and it made Areno laugh. Anxiously Areno pinched Arani's cheek.

“Neither? I'm not allowed to, find another one, yes,”

Areno will return the snacks that Arani had put in the shopping cart brought by Areno.

“Ih how is that? I really want to, Areno,”

“Do not, Ran. It's spicy, healthy mending aja anyway,”

“But ‘kan only once in a while,” said Arani who still insists on enjoying snacks with a spicy taste.

“Mending biscuits, or bread tuh. Make full from this make stomach pain,”

“No, I'm strong tau,”

Areno exhaled softly, then summarized both of Arani's cheeks while growling with anxiety.

“Why is it so hard to know me? Do you remember who told you? Hmm?”

“Remember,”

“I'm ready for you?”

“Pacar,”

“Why don't you want to hear my ban? Don't eat that spicy, Ran. Later you have stomach pain,”

“No, I'm a strong man,”

“Hadeh you are difficult to really be given tau,” said Areno with care. Arani responded with a big smile.

“Bby ‘kan?”

“That's really weird. It is forbidden to remain stubborn. But the tip is ‘can not?’ I clearly said no,”

“Jawab Yes,”

“Ngak,”

“Iya, game answer yes,”

“Ngak,”

“Ih Areno kok nyebelin anyway? I keep putting up with this? You're not afraid to see my eyes bulging?”

“Hahaha justin, ntar your eyes tired themselves,”

“Ih is so evil. Yes, I just assume you answered yes,” said Arani ketus.

Areno shook his head to face the stubbornness of his lover. It was forbidden, still to his will. Arani if it's stubborn fashion is indeed annoying.

“Jawab Yes ‘kan?”

“Arani, I have answered no, you why is stubborn anyway? I stay here you are yes,”

“The threat is like a kid,”

“Yes abisnya very nice,”

“Udah tree Yes,”

Arani grabs the basket in Areno's hands and Arani rushes to the cashier. Areno exhaled violently after that head bobble watching his lover who had walked carrying their groceries to the cashier.

Areno immediately rushed to catch up. “This is all I've brought, Ran,”

“No need, I'm aja,”

“I just, it's pretty heavy you know, there's his one-liter drink,”

“Yes nothing, I ‘kan strong people,”

“My strong mulu ya even though mah not also,”

“Eh good, I'm strong,”

“Ya have tried to put the basket on the head strong really no,”

Without making a sound Arani immediately lifted the basket he wanted to put on the head and Areno who panicked when Areno was challenging before. But to be honest it was not real; but it was taken seriously by Arani. Areno was astonished.

“Eh don't-don't! I'm just kidding,”

Areno immediately held his lover's arm and without waiting for a long time Areno took over the shopping cart that was originally in the lover's hands.

“You're weird, Ran. Why try to be done really?”

“I love to do challenges,”

“Aaan anyway? Love it anyway like, but think the positive thing is also dong, is there or not?”

“Ada,”

“What?”

“That's ‘kan challenge from you, well I want to lakanin because I am strong, all muscle train too,” said Arani while laughing.

“There-there's aja. If you want to train the muscles yes exercise instead of lifting the shopping cart,”

“That's not including sports huh?”

“Ya even if it is a real sport, do not do ngelakuin in minimarket also dong, Ran. Shame ‘kan diiat people, those who are shopping think you want to sell cakes,”

Arani laughed at Areno's words while holding his stomach that felt a little pain because he laughed.

“Yes too yes. Why do I exercise in such a public place. It's you, Ren. You ‘kan who abstained me to put the basket on the head. I like challenges so I want to do it straight away,”

“Ran, I ‘kan just kidding, time to do anyway? I don't understand you. Even though I'm not like this, you have to think there was something positive? If there is nothing, what is done? I'm just kidding, you take it seriously,”

“I'd like to point out if I'm strong, no kidding,”

“So you don't seriously want to lift his basket over your head?”

“Not serious, just kidding too,”

“Halah lied, must be serious deh,” areno pinched the nose bangir his lover.

“No, I was just kidding,”

“Lying, definitely want to be done. Yes ‘kan? Be honest, Arani. Don't lie to me,”

“Dih, my people are not serious, I also seem not strong enough to lift the basket,”

“If I was strong. Lift you up strong,”

“Yee not connecting very. His run time to me?”

“Continue, I lift you strong let alone a small basket so. Well, it's so easy, it's exactly,”

“He is strong mighty,” ledek Arani

“Iya dong I ‘kan dashing unmatched,” said Areno while smiling looking at Arani who chuckled and immediately pushed Areno's face.

“No need to smile like a stressed person, Ar. I'm afraid to see it, seriously,”

“I am strong, mighty, valiant, courageous. Anyway all,”

Areno instantly picked up his mobile phone which shook suddenly. He and Arani are forced to end the conversation, but their feet keep moving closer to the cashier.

Areno's forehead frowned when Nara contacted him. In Areno's heart he wondered.

“Why Nara call me?”

“Halo, Nar,”

Areno immediately receives a call from Nara and Nara sounds happy when her call is received.

“Busy first, no? Ngopi kuy, ngajakin Arani is also okay,”

“Hmm next time Yes, Nar,”

“Oh that's it already, tomorrow can't be? Home school ama Arani,”

“Yes if Arani wants. If he doesn't want to, I don't think so,”

“Yes has a bucin hahaha,”

“Ya you know,”

“Hmm okay try ajakin him tomorrow,”

“Okay sip,”

*******

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. Arani likes 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,”

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 kept drying 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,”

“Iya dong, I'm a quick shower,”

“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,”

********

Arani clapped his hands merrily as his cooking with his mama was finished and seduced on the dining table.

"Enak it seems," Reina commented staring at the pile of pempek and also the potato parchment.

"Hopefully Papa likes it too,"

His fatigue was replaced with results. His enthusiasm is mounting because soon Hadi will be home. The man does not know that Arani and Helen both went home sooner.

The sound of Helen's phone ringing distracts Arani. Coincidentally Arani's position was closer to his mother's phone, therefore he grabbed it.

"Papa's the phone" he told Helen, handing over the phone.

Helen immediately pressed the green button that was there.

"Hallo's? Assalamualaikum," he said to Hadi over there.

Helen activates the loudspeaker so that Arani can also listen.

"Waalaikumsalam, darling. I just wanted to let you know that I came home a little night. I have something to finish here,"

Arani immediately looked at her sad mother. His shoulders were broken when he heard his father's words. Arani did not think that Hadi came home much longer. Usually, the man does not force everything. But now Hadi chose to work in the office until a little night he said. This means that the food is cold and less lust anyone who wants to eat it.

"Arani has cooked for you, you know," replied Helen, making her husband change his mind.

"really? first meal for me, dong?"

Helen nodded even though Hadi did not see her. He could not bear to see the change in the usually radiant look of the face.

"You still want to go home at night? she was so excited about you, Pa," Helen said with eyes glancing at Arani who was now putting her head on the dining table. The girl immediately looked lethargic.

"Sorry, Ma. This job I can't delay. After everything's settled, I promise I'll go straight home,"

It's not just Arani. Helen was even disappointed with Radi who arguably did not appreciate the two of them. Is it as important as what the job is until they have to delay their time together?

Helen immediately turned off her phone without saying anything more. He sat down on the chair next to Arani and rubbed the top of his head affectionately.

"We pray that you can finish the job as soon as possible. Papa's also glad you're masakin,"

Arani. He did not hear it from Radi's mouth.

"Papa didn't say anything, Ma. His job is more important now than mine,"

Helen's heart ached a little to hear it. She did not expect that the girl would be this sad when she knew her papa would be home for longer.

"Hey don't say that, Arani! There is nothing more important than you. Mom and Dad love you, too,"

"But papa..."

Helen guides her son to get up and then pulls the corner of Arani's lips to smile.

"Papa's been busy, honey. Please understand papa, yes. As soon as possible papa will go home to try his child's first meal," comfort Helen on her first daughter.

Arani now smiled with a nod. All right, he's an adult. You have to be able to understand a small issue like this.

*********

Radi was surprised to see Helen who had not been closed. He approached his wife who was sitting while watching in the family room. Radi put the office supplies he carried on the sofa made Helen look surprised.

"Don't ask for a door, Pa?"

"Papa's got the key,"

Helen patted her forehead slowly. He forgot about that.

"You haven't slept?"

"Yet, wait for you. If Arani is asleep,"

His wife's reply made Radi sigh regretfully. His daughter must be disappointed.

"Sure Arani sad. I'd like to apologize first,"

"No, he knows it. Now you eat, right? not dinner yet, right?"

Helen glanced at the wall clock. It's nine o'clock at night. Radi who is too busy must have missed his dinner.

Radi nodded in spirit.

"I'll eat it first. You better get changed," suggested his wife by Radi.

The man walked straight to the room. To shower and change clothes. Radi was really tired today. But as much as possible, he did not complain. His duties have been outlined as such.

Radi smiled as soon as he came out of his toilet. He stared at his nightgown suit that was already on the bed. He did not know when his wife would prepare it. Clearly, Radi was happily treated that way by Helen.

"Arani has dinner? Ria too?” tanya Radi between her chewing mouth.

They just eat both. Because all the residents of the house had dinner first. Helen was waiting for her husband to come home to eat together.

"Udah, Dad. How's your job? fluently? it's kind of busy,"

Helen was not insinuating but Radi thought it was different.

"Sorry, Ma. Much more work," explained Radi briefly.

Helen just nodded because she didn't really understand the matter.

"Hopefully get better again" Helen said expectantly.

Radi wants that too. He does not want to dive too long in his busy life. Radu realized that lately his attention to Helen and Arani was reduced because of his extraordinary work.

"I'll fix everything,"

"I've always supported you,"

Seeing his wife's smile, Helen felt her energy to finish it all increased.

"Arani and Ria also support you,"

Radi nodded. After finishing his meal, he rubbed the top of his wife's head.

"You all support Papa. Always understand how Papa is doing. Thank you very much, if there are no you, do not know what life Papa. There is only work and work, a colorless life Papa without Mama, and children,”
