The Unconsidered Bungsu
CHAPTER 102 Meeting the Ex



Saturday afternoon, back from the food stall. Ernest is playing Arkana who is being bribed with mbak Nia. The boy seemed very happy if someone accompanied him to play.


" Oh Ma'am, just got home ! " sweap her while hugging my niece's ball.


Arkana tried to reach him but Ernest still teased him by raising the ball. Instead of crying, Arkana laughed despite repeatedly failing to catch Ernest's ball.


" It's who's the little boy, who's the high school boy. How the ball is even a big dipepin," I reprimanded.


" Hahaha, Arkana is even sad. Look at it ! " Ernest plays the ball and the boy chases after him laughing. Nia's mother came in after feeding Arkana.


I smiled to see the behavior of both of them. I pinched my puffed cheek and was about to enter the house. Ernest called. " Mom don't go in first dong, accompany me here, hihi ! "


" What the hell are you, like a child asking for company. Oh yes indeed again play the same Arkana kok ya, continue to follow so bocil, haha ! " I chuckled.Ernest immediately pouted.


I went in and put the basket in the dining room and went into the room. Sling bag I put on the table. When he returned to the terrace, Ernest was no more.


" Sir, this was an invitation. I was also loved earlier." He handed me a piece of paper.


Apparently he came in to pick up my invitation paper that was deposited on him.


" Later we will be together, Ma'am. I don't know the house of Agus yet" he asked. I'm nodding.


In the evening after the Isya prayer I prepared to go to the house of Agus. After pecking myself in the mirror I grabbed the phone at the table and came out. Ernest was waiting for me on the porch.


As soon as I appeared at the door he immediately beamed. " It's ready Ma'am, let's go ! " bring.


When just out the gate came Jerry my neighbor, 2 years younger than me.


" Mom, I was told by Vicky to pick up Mommy Aira" he said, glancing at Ernest.


" Oh yeah, I'm leaving now, too. Yuk Deck ! " so I said and asked Ernest too.


We walked three. Ernest showed a dislike to Jerry.


Arriving at the house of brother Agus turned out to be the new senior who came. Yang is still junior not all present. I go in and sit in the girls section. I see Ernest has also joined a fellow junior.


" Okay, let's just start ! " Sister Vicky started the show after the kids had all come.


Start with a welcome from Agus as the host. Then Vicky divided the task schedule per group. The event is two days, Saturday at home and Sunday.reception at the Gedung Serba Guna.


As usual for the Saturday event I take the afternoon shift until night because morning until noon I am at the food stall first.


If for the Sunday reception all the committee must come at 10.00 wib. The recipe starts at 11:00 so we must prepare first.


" All right, guys, it's clear all the schedule. For Aira tomorrow to donate songs yes, this is a request from the bride and groom, you know" said Vicky.


" Well, double job is the title. It has become more sinoman singing anyway, haha ! " tap mas Hari a close neighbor of mine.


After the division of duties we rest drinking and eating that has been served by the host. Of course, while chatting, especially the seniors have not gathered together like this for a long time.


"We go home first, brother." Some teenagers who are still in school say goodbye. I myself still feel at home chatting with brother Vicky and brother Agus. There is no Eva, Mira, Goddess, Rio let alone Niko. I used to be with them.


" Mr Aira, want to go home now or later ? " ask Ernest approaching me.


" Oh yeah, you're on Deck first. I still want to talk to the others." I asked him to come home first.


But Ernest did not move. He sat back and played the phone. I saw Novi and Ninik whispering while glancing at me. Then Novi approached Ernest and invited him to a chat. Ninik joined Erna and the others.


Half an hour was not felt, I intended to go home. Ernest looked at me repeatedly. I'm approachinghe. " Go home yuk Dek ;" take me. He got up and followed me out.


The other friends also took part. I walked next to Ernest. Novi and Erna are behind me because our house is unidirectional. Ninik went home through another alley. I heard Novi talking quietly with Erna, but still heard by me.


" Bener Er, Ninik told me the same story. He said the other day his mother saw the two of them talking till night."


I don't intend to keep up with his talk. No wonder Novi always looked cynical at me. I sped up my pace regardless of Ernest following me behind.


********


The following Saturday, when going to the food stall.


" Mr Aira, what time will I be home ? " ask Ernest at the gate. Today it looks like he's off school.


" Hours and a half three., will be ready first at 3 to the house of Agus." Told him.


" Kok not the same I am Mbak, so I can go and go home together, hehe ! " push it while chuckling.


" I can't do it, I also have a routine assignment."


" I'll be with you later this afternoon." Ernest continued to whine. What the hell is this kid ?


" Hey, you're still a junior. Your job is morning at 11:00 until later at 15:00. Don't ngeyel. " I explained to him not to bargain again.


I hurried off because it was 7 o'clock more, because Ernest was present. Lucky so until the gate can directly angkot.


" Sri, I'll be home at half-time. Neighbors have a celebration, I join the committee today the same tomorrow. Ma'am Sri herself helped mother huh. " I relayed it to mbak Sri when I arrived at the food stall.


" Well, Miss Aira, I've got to get used to this. Calculate the preparation if mbak Aira married. Surely later can not help in the same stall mas Raka."


" No, if at home continue to join, bete. Mas Raka always understood, of course I was allowed to keep helping in the shop. " Kutepis Sri mbak worry.


...Before I go home I finish my work first so that Sri will not be overwhelmed. At half-hour I went home....


Until the house I prepared the clothes I was going to wear and then took a shower. At 14:50 Jerry and Mas Hari picked me up.


" Waah Aira who picked up two guys !" knock on the other friend when we get to the place.


" Aira if not picked up is afraid he will not come. Remember not the time to practice the band." Anto. The others laughed.


" Don't remind the ones that have passed. It will spread everywhere so sad again," I rebuked Anto.


Ernest who was sitting in the corner with his morning groupmate looked at me unblinkingly as I came with Jerry and Mas Hari. I wave my hand at him.


" Gaes, before the shift change you should all eat first yes," said brother Vicky.


The entire synoman went to the buffet table to grab a meal. After eating with the morning shift group left the place.


Guests began to arrive. Usually more than last day. Until the Magrib was just starting to decrease somewhat.


" Friends, I'm the same Erna pray first huh. Later we change," I said to my female colleagues.


Coincidentally in the house of Agus is available mushola. We also pray every two people. After praying, Erna and I went back to their original place. I never thought there was Niko. When the meeting time he did not exist, I think he did not join the committee.


" Hey Aira, finished praying? " sweep it as I walk past him sitting.


" Yes, you just came." I also felt stale to return his greeting, then took a seat at the end. He came closer and sat down next to me. Before long appeared other friends who just finished praying.


" Well, there's a CLBK ! " cock Anto. Again he mocked me. Niko just smiled.

Yes, yes, say, tomorrow again.
