The Unconsidered Bungsu

CHAPTER 21 Neighborly Thinning

I entered the room irritated. Not very much work, his mother, sister Vicky, use ngaduin me with mother. What order do you try ?

Although it has not been proven I am sure it is him.

Who was that cynical look at me when I was chatting with Niko and Rio ?

Fucking mommy-fucking-lick. Mother still nags in the middle room.

" It's Mom, don't try to curb Aira..He needs entertainment, his name is young. It's gonna be a neighbor tonight if you get angry." Dad scolds mom.

" Yuk we just sleep, tomorrow the mother to the market," asked the father later. Looks like they went into the room. I heard you faintly still grumbling.

"Mother did not curb, just remind Aira not to be a neighbor's talk."

" Yes.yeah.. I mean, I mean mother."

No more their voices.

I smiled to myself considering the time I was with Niko. I ignored his status as a school. His speech and temperament were truly charismatic, looking mature. Although in terms of face it still looks when still a teenager.

I don't feel my eyes closed either.

Saturday afternoon after the stall I stopped by Eva's house, maybe she's home.

As usual, I went in without knocking on the door. In the living room there was only her mother and budenya Eva.

" Aunty Assalamu'alaikum, has Eva come home yet ?" ask directly.

"Waalaikum hail, Eva has not returned Aira. He said there was an extra lecture. Sunday morning just got home." Aunt Fina answered and looked at me at a glance. Then I looked back at the television. Bude Fara also looked back for a while and watched TV again.

I glanced at the black box object they were glaring at, it turned out that the soap opera that the main character Arya Saloka. Waah ! they really are victims of soap operas.

" Yeah Auntie, Bude, I'm going home first. I'll send WA to Eva." Then I turned around and stepped out.

" Yes.yes." They answered without distracting from the magic box. Ha ha ! just-there's.

Until I sat on the porch. I took the HP out of the bag and I opened the green app.

I sent WA to Eva's number, she just happened to be online.

[Bestie, why not go back ? ]

[Yes yes, there was an additional lecture.where impromptu again ]

[Things plan I want to take you to visit Car Free Day 😊 ]

[I don't promise. If later it's been kemaleman ya I go home tomorrow morning. so maybe not able to obey your invitation 😌].

[Okay no pa pa pa. We can go next time ].

[Sorry yes bestie .. now there are many more tasks. I don't want to ngecewain ortu ✌ ].

[Yes I know. Yes I took a shower ]

[Pantsan from earlier I nyium something.. it turns out there are those who have not taken a shower 😄 ].

[Fuck lo 😀 ]

I ended my chat with Eva. He was busy, I couldn't force him to come home. No matter the number one school.

I feel like the more I come here, the more my relationship with Eva has become distant. Our fate is clearly different.

I rushed into the house and cleaned the body. As usual I want to go to the mbak Yah stall all want to buy fried rice Pak Rus.

And I hope to see Niko.

" Where are you going, how are you doing ?" ask Mbak Nia. He was waiting for Joni on the terrace.

" It is common to seek the wind. Ma'am Nia is also neat to go where ? " i asked while yelling at him.

" Huu.. was asked instead behind his nanya." Mbak Nia grumbled. Soon after, Joni arrived. He greeted me "Hi Aira ! where are you going? "

" Want out Mas," I replied origin. The two of them then moved inside in the living room.

I saw my dad just got home from the mosque.

" Dad, Aira wants to go to the mbak warung Yah all you want to buy fried rice Pak Rus. Please tell mom, because it was at the restaurant that she had finished so she did not bring it home. It's on the table there's still a little to eat Daddy's with Mom." I told dad before I left.

Good thing the rice at home stayed a little so I had a reason to buy fried rice. Hi hi hi hi hi.

Ma'am Nia is definitely eating out or at Joni's mas house. Bayu Mas moreover, more often snack than eating at home.

Dad nodded then looked at me.

"Don't see you mad again tonight. Daughter is not good outside the house at night unless someone is accompanying me." Dad told me and stroked my hair.

This is how I advise, smooth and easy to digest. Not like a mother who started with anger, I got upset first and ended up crying. I also know the limits in association. What matters is that I can take care of myself.

" Yes Dad, Aira knows it." I also passed away.

When just a few steps turned out Niko appeared in front of me.

" Eh you, where are you going ? " let's get a stale base.

In my heart I thought he would come to my house. It's very pede.

" Where are you going to your house, where else? "

Niko smiled at me. It really is !

" I want to go to the stall mbak Yah all you wait for the Rus sir to pass by," I said.

" Why wait for Rus ?" He asked while grinning. Must want to tempt me.

" Yes want to buy fried rice, indeed want to join the sale !" seruku pretended to be upset.

"Kirain wants to help wash the dishes, aww sick !" Niko yelled because I pinched her waist. Who told me to flirt, it hurts me to pinch ? Hi hi hi hi .

Rio was enjoying the mendoan and knew the contents, when me and Niko arrived at the stall mbak Yah. In front of him was a bowl of wedang ronde.

"Who is alone, we met at the front fork of the mosque and kept coming here." I made up the story so Rio wouldn't continue his chatter.

Niko only smiled when she was hurt by Rio. He is the kind who doesn't joke too often. He was sitting near me who was still standing.

" Wedang round 1 yes Ma'am, as usual," I asked mbak Yah. After ordering a new drink I sat down next to Niko.

" How come only order 1, I also want to drink wedang rondenya." Niko protested to me.

" Yee. pesen alone, I am your mother ha ha ha." I asked him to joke. If it wasn't the same as me, he wouldn't be joking. Not arrogant, but he's cool.

And as a result he laughed even if only for a moment.

" How about Ra, have you told Eva not yet if you want to go to Car Free Day ?" rio asked as he sipped his drink.

" Already, but he didn't come home this afternoon. There was an additional lecture and it just finished. If you go straight back here he is still tired because he rode a motorcycle. It could be tonight, but he didn't promise. Depends if a friend wants to go home together or not." I explained to Rio about Eva. Looks like he's disappointed.

"Yes next time I can take Eva again. The important thing is to leave tomorrow morning. There doesn't have to be him, okay bro ! " Niko helped open the voice to persuade Rio.It seems that Rio was not too late in being disappointed. Tomorrow morning the plan goes on.

The three of us continue drinking the wedang ronde.

Tok tok tok tik tok tik tok

There was a special sound of fried rice sellers peddling their wares. It turns out that Rus has arrived. He stopped his wagon next to the mbak Yah stall, precisely in front of the house of sister Vicky or Tiya ma'am. I stood up and approached.

" Sir, I ordered the spicy fried rice, the soy sauce added yes." Immediately I ordered fried rice before the first other.Tak forgot I paid first wedang ronde on mbak Yah.

" Aira hastily, Rus sir has also just arrived." Niko rebuked me, then approached the wagon of Rus sir.

" Biain, already hungry," I said and sat on the bench prepared by Mr. Rus.

" Just get wrapped up, sir" I asked later. I don't want you to get mad if I eat it here.

" Yes Ma'am, wait a minute I make it for Vicky mas first.So he has sent the message," said Mr. Rus later.

Turns out Vicky's sister ordered first. He came out of his house and laughed at me. Bu Tiya appears behind Vicky's sister.

" Why is Ra pouting, first yes." Vicky's sister blinked her eyes.

I pursed my lips pretending to be angry.

" Sister Vicky cheated ya, play behind," I exclaimed.

I saw Tiya approaching Yah and whispered. Mbak Yah just smiled in response to Bu Tiya. I'm just so cute.

While waiting for the fried rice I joked with Niko and Rio as well as Vicky's sister. We sit on a long bench. Unexpectedly, Tiya spoke loudly to my ears.

" I wonder, Dad, how come you sit crammed instead of sitting on an empty bench."

Deg ! what does he mean he said like that, does he insinuate me ?

But stupid shit. I pretended not to listen and kept joking. The important thing is that I don't make the same problem, Tiya. I'm silent because I still appreciate Vicky's sister. Surprisingly, his son is good and respected but his mother likes to care for others.

Ma'am Well from earlier just smiled. Maybe he's not good to respond because we're his customers. Tomorrow we may not get any more food in the stall.

" Mr Aira, this is the fried rice" Mr. Rus called me. I got up and approached him.

I took the parcel out of Rus' hands and paid for it. Then step home.

" Yuk everyone, I go first ! " I say goodbye to friends. Kulirik bu Tiya who is still in the stall mbak Yah. His face was rich.

" Yuk Mbak Yah ! " I intentionally greet Yah without regard to Tiya ma'am. Let him feel it.

" Please make my order, I'll just take Aira home first sir. "

Mr. Rus nodded. Niko caught up with me and aligned her steps beside me.

"Wait for dong, how fast is the way." Niko exclaims. I'm looking. " I didn't ask for a delivery, "I said.

" But I want to drive," he turned me around. I kept quiet and kept going.

Niko took my hand. I flinched for a moment. Good thing we've reached the turn of the alley so no one's looking.

" Why are you doing this?" my question is slowing down my steps.

" I'm just holding your hand. Can't ya ? " He kept holding my hand.

": No. I mean why lately you've been kind to me, paying special attention to me."

" Yes . 'cause I'm happy to see you being coquettish, jovial and childish. That's what I always wanted near you." Niko expressed her feelings. He said I was a child ? damn time.

I stopped my steps when I got to the front of the house. Niko turned around and prepared to leave.

" Tomorrow don't forget ! I'll pick you up at 7:00."

He reminded me. " I am also waiting for your answer, "he said again half in whisper. And it sounded soft in my ears. He smiled and soon passed.

I went inside the house. I sat in the living room watching TV. Seems like it was deliberately waiting for me because it usually already went into the room. Mom is sleeping too. Ma'am Nia and mas Bayu have not returned.

" Dad hasn't slept yet, would you like to taste some fried rice? " I offered my father a plate in the kitchen. I opened the fried rice and sat down next to my father on the sofa. I offered it to Dad to scoop it up first.

" You ate earlier" he refused. " You won't be full" he continued.

" It's a lot Well, I'm not used up often." I still persuaded dad.

It is our custom if me or mbak Nia buy food must be mother or father tasting first. Sometimes it is also.

" You've spent it being fat." Dad smiled. He got up and walked into the living room to check the doors and windows.

Mbak Nia and mas Bayu have brought a spare key.

I finished my fried rice and went to sleep.

Dad went into his room too.
