The Unconsidered Bungsu

CHAPTER 108 Confession

[Assalamualaikum Mas Raka, later afternoon after work pick me up at the barung ya. Makasiih 😘 ]

By lunchtime I sent a message to Mas Raka. I want to go home with her instead of with mom but quietly. There is also a mother must leave me, then we walk alone. Better take the middle ground.

I put the phone on the table. Mas Raka hasn't read my message maybe it hasn't been time off. I'm also going to have lunch.

" Sri Mama prayed first, I will finish eating I help wash the dishes," I said as he brought in dirty tableware.

The tweet ! Just a few mouthfuls of my hape reads. Must be a reply from Mas Raka. I opened a WhatsApp chat while continuing my lunch.

[Waalaikum greetings Aira dear, later I will definitely go straight to the stall. Why you should know, it's Sunday night. I usually pick you up ]

[Yes, but sometimes Raka comes home first night to the house. So now I say let's go straight here ]

[Hehe knew that I wanted to go home first ]

[That's right, I'm glad I said ]

[Okay, now I have lunch. Daah dear 😍 ]

I put my phone on a small table. Madam Sri has finished praying and is about to wash the dishes.

" Lunch, Ma'am, I'm almost done" I suggested to her.

Sri just complied. I finished eating and was going to do the dishes. A few minutes later Sri finished and helped me.

" What story do you want to tell? " ask him, as if I knew I wanted to say something.

" I'm actually embarrassed to say this to you, ma'am, but I think only you can understand. If Madam Nia would be as angry as you are." I still hesitate to talk.

" You have a mistake, Ma'am, if you may know what you're doing until you're so angry." Sri Ma'am wanted to know.

I looked outside the mother was chatting with Ms. Harjo, a customer and a close friend of the mother since long ago.

" But Sri don't get angry or laugh. So look, Miss Dirja my front neighbor has a granddaughter who is already in high school. Her parents were again on duty outside the city so she lived with her grandparents because she was already in the 12th grade as well.

His son is handsome, his name is Ernest. But unfortunately he is less concerned with the surrounding environment. Same neighbors rarely get along, most same my family. Here again, many girls his age want to know but he is always indifferent. Precisely if I was the same she wanted to be always close."

" Don't let him like Aira. But she's still in high school, you've got a boyfriend." Ma'am Sri commented immediately.

" Therefore, the problem is here." Then I told you what I've been through with Ernest, as well as that guy leaning on me. Everything without anything to cover, including my feelings that had wavered.

" But you still love Raka, don't you ? " ask Sri mbak.

" Holy Ma'am Sri to the whole, still dong. We're fiancee no longer messing around," I said.

Our conversation stopped for a moment because Sri asked my mother to bring a clean plate out. He then took the dried ones from the plate rack.

" But why are you still tempted by High School guys, if until Raka knows the dangers you know. Mending is not to be responded to." Sri said again and continued his work

" That's exactly what Mama. I love the same Raka, sangaaat love. But I also can't resist if Ernest approaches me. He is above average. I'm close to him just making jealous of the neighborhood girls."

" Well, this is how I raise my hand. So that means to double? " tanya mbak Sri while melengos.

" Not so Ma'am, duuh how to explain it anyway. I don't have any feelings for Ernest, just can't refuse if he asks for something, emm. For example, when he invites to talk or watch. That's all."

" But afraid, when the two of you chat continue to mas Raka come. How will the reaction try ? " He seems worried.

" That's also what I was worried about and made me so angry, especially last night when I came home to watch. I thought when she and I told you to watch Ernest, I wouldn't get mad. But my guess is wrong."

" If I may suggest, it is better not to get too close to the Ernest, Aira said. I was afraid that Raka would finally know. Your relationship is one step away." Sister Sri advised me.

" I know, but try if Sri's mom is me. Keep close neighbors invite conversation when we ignore. Moreover, there is also his grandmother, is it okay? " i asked for his opinion.

" At least avoid it, if he's outside you don't show yourself. Even if he's going out wait till he gets in the house."

" Hmm, Sister Sri doesn't know yet. Ernest knew when I was going out. Suppose the morning wants to come here, when I go out he just wants to go to school. Then the afternoon came home from the stall, he must have been sitting on the porch, sometimes playing with Arkana.

Worse yet if I'm the same as Raka, he secretly notices us. Then after Raka mas came home, suddenly he was nongol after I drove up to the terrace. How do you avoid trying? "

" Wouldn't. Must think a thousand times that I like him. If you are fascinated, dong !" I said while grinning. Sister Sri just shook her head.

At 16:15 am Raka was nongol. He immediately threw a smile as he stood at the door of the food stall. I poured cold water and took it out.

" Have a drink first ! "

" Thank you dear," he said and immediately gulped it down to nothing.

Mas Raka sat on the front bench of the stall while slipping his legs and fanning his face with his hat.

" Want to eat Mas? " let me offer it.

" Later on, seeing you I feel full, hehehe ! " say while chuckling.

" Huuu dreadlocks ! " I bumped him into the rag I was holding.

" Oh yes, I bought a gift yesterday for you. It will be taken at home" said Mas Raka while pulling me to sit next to him.

" Kok is not brought all Mas, time souvenirs take themselves," said I.

" So the plan was to run out of work I went home first, took a new prayer bath to your house and gave thanks to him. But you told me to come straight here." He reveals the reason.

I was silent, actually reluctant to be invited to his house. There must be a conversation, a smile there smile here.

" Shut up, go home later. It's been a while, too, your grandmother you know." Mas Raka kept persuading me.

" Look at me later. I'm going in first." I went in and finished the job.

After everything is done Raka mas I ask to deliver mother first. I waited on foot. He soon turned around.

" Want to go straight home what first muter ? " tanya mas Raka.

" Just go home, then take a shower and go to your house." I immediately hugged him and he put his bike on.

Arriving at the house I saw Ernest was watering plants with his grandmother.

" Just got back Aira ! " greetings from Dirja. Ernest smiled as he glanced at Raka.

" Yes Ma'am Dirja, let's get in first." I nodded my head and smiled at Ernest.

Mas Raka followed me and sat in the living room. I saw him staring at Ernest too.

"I take a shower, will I not drink ? " tarku.

" No need, we go straight away, right," he replied as he took out a cigarette from his backpack.

I went into my room and took off my headscarf. I grabbed a towel and rushed to the bathroom. Without waiting for long I poured my body with tap water that felt warm.

After dressing up and grooming myself I approached Raka mas in front of the one who was chatting with dad.

" Dad, I'm going to Raka's mas house. Please committee with mom, "my goodbye to dad.

Mas Raka salutes dad. Arkana immediately ran out and hit me from behind.

" Aunty go first ! " i'll smell my little bangs while I hold up for a second. He pinched my cheek with his funny.

" Gemes yes same beautiful aunt Aira, hihihi ! " I'll drop him. He smiled at his grandson's behavior.

" Go first Well, " said I as I kissed and kissed my father's hand.

Mas Raka turned on the bike and I immediately got on the back. Before long we were both on the highway to his house.
