The Unconsidered Bungsu

CHAPTER 118 Sore = Incandescent

When passing in front of the house of Dirja maam, Ernest and Trias were still busy chatting in the living room. They were sitting by the door so they could be seen from the outside, but they didn't see me. I'll speed up my steps so no one knows I'm gone. Hihihi !

" Hey Aira, where are you going ? he said again help mbak Tatik," said Tutik from the terrace of his house.

" Want to the stall Mbak, was still there but no more guests yes mending I help mom. Even Yuni is still there, just like ART. There's Ernest's friend, too."

" Oh that. Yes really mending you to the stall, why also there if there are no guests. Suppose there are also 1-2 people, let his family serve." Ma'am Tutik justifies me.

" Yes Ma'am, I go first yes it's angkot want to come here," I said while stopping the angkot that just passed. Maam Tutik also waved his hand.

In the angkot I wonder, it seems that some of the neighbors do not respect the same mbak Tatik. Yesterday aunt Fina was concerned about the guests who came, continued to influence Nia also always influence me so as not to overdo her help. Now Tutik's mom agrees with the 'escape' I did. Though I feel my actions are reckless and inappropriate actually.

It did not feel like the angkot had stopped in front of the market. I walked towards the stall, past Arya's office which was closed because it was Sunday. Many shops are off, the road is also a bit quiet. Maybe because of school holidays so some people travel out of town.

" Asalamualaikum ! " i said when I entered the shop. Mum and Mbak Sri again in the kitchen.

" Greetings waalaikum," they replied simultaneously, not knowing that I had entered. Mom's straight out.

" Ooo Aira, kirain who kok tumben say hello. He said there were still guests mbak Tatik, why was he left? " ask mom wonder.

Then I told him like I told Nia earlier. I just sighed, then said, "That means you weren't alone, definitely later on looking for."

Ms. Sri only listened without commenting, because she did not know what I was talking about with her.

" You still have not eaten, if not immediately eat before the customer arrives. It's lunchtime soon"

" Then dong. The time has not eaten has gone, lose haha ! Earlier this morning mbak Tatik already gave a side dish for breakfast I same mbak Nia."

" Is the person arrogant, how many do not like it ? " ask mbak Sri about mbak Tatik.

" I don't know, I don't know myself. People when he married just mbak Nia still a kindergarten, he said, but his age was 6 years more about mbak Nia late school. Yes, the Buk ! "

" Yes, at that time the mother was busy ngurusin you so did not have time to register Nia school. A year later I was able to enter a small Kindergarten." Mom told me about our childhood.

" But only Nia is late for school. Ms. Rina, mbak Tika and mas Bayu are not," I said interrupting the story of the mother.

" It used to register the father, the Kindergarten school is next to the SD where the father taught. So the mother can still take care of the little one when her brother is in school.

But when Nia was 5, her father moved to another Elementary School away from Kindergarten. Every day I take three of your brothers. While I have to take care of you who are toddlers.

That's it with a lot of kids, hehehe." Mom's story that finally chuckles.

" Waduh, it was again the nyerain neighbors even become nostalgic," said mbak Sri.

I don't continue because there are customers coming and then out to serve.

" Every once in a while reminiscing about the past, especially when life was difficult. So that you can be grateful that now his life is good, do not forget yourself, so." I commented.

" Huuh style is like an old man," murmured mbak Sri.

" How can I hear you ! " reproach. But mbak Sri immediately tiptoed into the front room to help mother. Shop visitors began to increase because it was lunch hour.

I just remembered that I haven't contacted Raka.. He must have thought I was still at Tatik's place. I'd better send WA alone, it just so happens that he's online again.

[Raka Mas, where are you again. If again at home here aja dong, I'm in the shop ] Send.

Not five minutes later he returned my message.

[I'm at Doyok's. Said you were still at Ernest's house, right now at the stall. You are not going there ]

[What the hell is it, so curious. Okay, I went there, ]

[Okay I wait. Be careful not to speed ]

[Yes, my dear ]

I ended the chat with Mas Raka. Ma'am Sri came in carrying some dirty dishes and glasses.No need to wait directly I helped wash them.

Fifteen minutes later Raka arrived. I had just finished praying, but refused to leave the room. Let him put me inside.

" Hey, finish praying. Kok did not come out," said Raka who was approaching me.

" Yes, I don't know what a big pegel feels like to my feet. Yesterday's pacing back and forth in and out became a powerful foot." I complained to him.

"Here I go on a massage, "without waiting for my answer Raka went into the room and straightened my feet. Fortunately I was wearing a kulot.

Sister Sri who was about to enter the kitchen immediately turned around to undo her intentions. He whispered with his mother while giggling. She looked at us from the kitchen door and smiled.

" The one who is again kneaded, must be mengelek tuh keenakan," chirped mbak Sri who finally entered again carrying dish and glass laundry.

" It was noisy from earlier. Watch out I'll say the same to Jarwo ! " my nag to her.

Mas Raka still relaxed on my feet without caring about the taunts of Sri. Though mbak Sri continued to teasekku. He washes the dishes in a hurry. I became suspicious.

And sure enough, after washing he came out of nowhere.

" Where are people going" I muttered .

A few moments passed when Sri appeared with Mbak Wiwit.

" Ciyee ciyee. May dong ngantri next turn, hahaha ! " ledek mbak Wiwit. They both laughed. Either there are still people who eat at the stall or not.

" Mr Sriiiii ..! beware I will reply ! " i shouted and then I threw my little towel at him. He dodged it but it still hit his face.

" Aah is ah. If I keep getting sick, my stomach will endlessly laugh, hihi." Ms Wiwit gave up and came out, but still seemed to be holding back laughter.

" Oh, it's a little quiet now. At the sirik aja tuh," grumbled me. I shuffled out of the room. Mas Raka also stood up and sat in the kitchen chair.

" I'll get you a drink first, Mas" I said.

Mas Raka sipped her warm tea. I sat next to him after putting a snack in front of him.

" What story do you want ? " Mas Raka asked what I said in WA earlier.

" Oh yeah, almost forgot. After that there was something disturbing so I forgot to tell a story," I said.

I also told him what I did before I left here. Mas Raka just responded normally, not laughing or getting angry.

" But your actions were actually not. You should say good, say good. Even if there are no guests but you are asked to stand by there. Maybe now they're looking for you. Most also wonder why you left the place without saying goodbye." Mas Raka advised me.

I actually had no intention of leaving either. But when I saw Ernest together with Trias I felt really bad. From yesterday even stick. I don't know why I feel so wronged by Ernest. I can't possibly tell Mas Raka my real reason. Our relationship is getting messed up.

" Yes Mas, I will apologize to Tatik and his family. I just wanted to go home for a little while, I don't know why I'm reluctant to go back to the front." I had to find a reason that made sense.
