The Treason of First Love
Chapter 29. Vacation
"Tomorrow we go to Bandung yuk."
That night I, Mama and Father were discussing and while having a casual discussion arrived - Mama just invited us to Bandung. Because there we still have brothers, cousins Mama.
"Macquet is not Ma?" I asked while playing the phone.
"Mother's off tomorrow, right?" Ask Mama.
"I'll ask you tomorrow if there's no doctor."
"Yahhh yaudah Ri, if the Father practices us at home aja yaa..." Answer Mama.
"Yeah Ma.. I'm studying again. I'll be on vacation for another week."
"Yes yes the time during your vacation is not a road at all. Yaudah tomorrow if there is no one to practice you are looking for instead..."

After we had a discussion yesterday and you finally got permission not to practice this weekend, we so went to Bandung. It feels great that I can finally take a vacation after a few days just at home.
Mama told me a lot about her family in Bandung, precisely the house where Mama's family lived on Jalan Ambon. Mama has a lot of cousins there, Om Mama is the sister of her Papa Mama aka Eyang Kung I. He had died a long time ago, so now only his ex-wife and son were left. Some of his children are artists and models. Although the Javanese but because they have long lived in Bandung their accent is Sundanese.
"Later there we must be prepared a lot of food, Aunt Mama is a cook. The food is also good - delicious Ri. Ih you last to Bandung still SD time yes.."
"SMP never let Ma there."
"Oh yes, when Eyang Kung still exists..."
"The aunt Mama used to be a lot of culinary business Ri, his son there are entrepreneurs as well."
"Isn't there a sale, too, is there Ma?"
"Raa.. Try us later."
"Bad used to play there a lot.." Sahut.
"Ah Mr. Mah if Mama brought to the family Mama always be a favorite ghost because Mr. Doctor." Answer Mama.
"Julianah..."
Along the way, we laughed and talked about my family. It's really nice that a day doesn't talk about my education that day. And finally we arrived in Bandung. The city of Bandung feels very crowded, although hot but still a little cool. Pass the bridge after not far from the toll exit. And look left right at the crowded clothing store, Bandung with the typical people - people who are stylish with their style - style that is always fashionable. Lots of snacks and good and spicy food.
"Here he said there was a good batagor, where yes Mama forgot again."
"Mama nih in search of food first, to the house of the brother Mama dong first." My solute.
"Huhaha...." Mama just laughed, my mom was so happy to eat. Sometimes I like to eat, sometimes not. Just as I wish.
After 30 minutes we traveled around the city of Bandung, we finally arrived at Jalan Ambon.
"Thank the food cart a lot." Mom said when she got out of the car.
"Ma... Is there anyone not at home? How very quiet... Mama didn't say she was coming?"
"So. Gapapa we mah do not say - say if you want to go to Bandung mah. Yuk." yuk." Invite Mama while continuing to walk into the front of the yard.
The house is unique, without a fence. When it arrived right straight in, in front of him there were several buildings used to sell food. Like a mini cafe or mini restaurant. And beside him was a small office as well. Then we went inside, when inside it was crowded. From the outside it looks lonely, inside it turns out not.
"Lohhhh ehhhh Lila Geeznn how are you tea is getting more and more geulis nyak." Greet one of my aunt, her name is Aunt Mytha.
"Eh MashaAllah this is Riri's tea. O Allah geulis pisan ihhh more geulis than Mama mama is mah ah." Greet Aunt Mytha while pulling my hand and kissing my cheek.
"Hehehe yes Aunt..."
"Mh...Mytha how are you?" Greet the Father who stands beside me.
"God is Ardy. Duhh Monggo monggo enter yukkk ah."
After the excitement at the front door we went inside the house and sat in the living room. Just sitting down has been treated to so many different kinds of pastries.
"What do you drink?" Ask Aunt Mytha.
"Don't bother Myth. Which mama?" Ask Mama.
"There is another prayer like in Dalem, I briefly call yaaah."
After that Aunt Mytha bothered to go around and tell the housekeeper to prepare a drink for guests and prepare food for lunch later.
"God Lilaaa.. Ardy...." Eyang Sintia came out of her room in a beautiful long dress, her neck wrapped in a thick scarf.
"Tanteens.. MashayAllah.. Healthy aunt?" Welcome Mama while standing up and hugging Eyang Sintia.
"Alhamdulillah healthy.. This is Riri, right?" It turns out that Eyang Sintia still remembers me.
"Yes Eyang.." I replied with a smile.
"Salim dong son.." Sahut Mama's.
I was salim and kissed by Eyang Sintia.
Eyang Sintia is indeed beautiful, the skin is still smooth and tight which makes me amazed even though old age. Really young like famous artist Titiek Puspa.
"Are you not coming, La?" Ask Eyang Sintia to Mama.
"Mom again went to Mas Barry Aunt's house..."
Mas Barry, by which I mean, is Big Brother Mama Number 2.
"oalaahs.. If your mom comes with this very rame we will.."
Yep... We kept talking until we got bored. I just sat and listened to Mama, Father, Eyang Sintia and Aunt Mytha chat. Until lunch time, we were served with hot gravy meatballs and there was also a variety of pasta, then there was also grilled chicken and vegetables. I really got full of stomachs because I ate it all.
My vacation this time is indeed a silahturahmi to the house of my brother Mama. Although not on vacation but I'm quite happy. After we finished everything, we decided to go home. Because the time has shown at 3 pm. It seems that it is enough for us to talk a lot and reminisce about the story of Mama's childhood if playing to Bandung.

"We are muters - we used to find cold air, this hour is cold." Said the father while turning the car.
"Where are you, sir? You're not tired?" Ask Mama.
"This food will go down first, full of the Father."
"Okeee....!!" My heart is happy.
I was a simple child, invited to muter - muter see - just look happy. And I think you understand that. We travel around Bandung City, through ITB and outlets - clothing outlets. Until Maghrib. Stopped to buy by - by. Then we went back to Jakarta.
