The Unconsidered Bungsu

CHAPTER 42 What It Means

Some time passed Sidik rarely stopped by the stall. Only occasionally I met when I was shopping, from a distance he could hear me grinning. After that, it was never seen again. I feel relieved even if the stall customer decreases by one.

But like acne, one missing appears again another. Mas Sidik went, uh mas Rifan who was nongol. Do not know also why his sister mbak Wiwit so often stop by his sister's store.

" Good day to Aira ! " sapanya when I have lunch. I eat in front, usually in the kitchen.

" Good day, too" I replied briefly. He ordered rice and side dishes to his mother.

After receiving his rice he approached me and ate next to me. I couldn't possibly move on because I was worried that he was offended.

" Don't hurry up, you'll sprain." He scolded me when he saw me eating fast.

" It's just a normal feeling, Mom." I deny his words. Though I deliberately speed up my lunch so that I can quickly leave it.

" Often in a hurry. Oh yes I know, surely Dik Aira again awaited someone so eat hastily. Yes, hehe ! " Mas Rifan even teased me.

It turned out that my answer was the topic of his conversation. I actually refused to talk to him. It's nothing, it's just worrying if Wiwit sees me chatting with Rifan. Especially he's married.

" Yes awaited mbak Sri, told to wash the dishes." I answer just the origin. I finished my lunch and immediately went into the kitchen. I put my old dinner plate in the wash.

I poured water in a glass. When I took a sip, I felt someone watching me. I lyrically with the tail of my eyes Rifan was looking at me not budging.

" Sri, look ! Mas Rifan looked at me continuously, from yesterday even. I'm getting uncomfortable, Ma'am. I'm also afraid Wiwit will misunderstand." I express my concerns with Sri.

" If I think it's best for Ms. Aira to be ordinary, don't avoid it. The more we avoid him the more he pursues. Just relax, no need to hesitate with Wiwit. Sira is not wrong.. " Mr Sri comforted me. He continued his work of slicing onions.

I looked forward again, mas Rifan was paying his food to mom. Feeling noticed he turned to me and blinked one eye. I quickly turned around and called Sri.

" Mom that plate was taken first ! " groans.

Sister Sri who still holds the knife was shocked. " Why hurry anyway, there are still people who have not finished eating. That's Rifan's still there. Then all of you." Mbak Sri put down his knife then looked forward.

" Mom, that's him still looking over here. Look ahead, he's throwing a smile." Ma'am Sri told me.

I saw Rifan smiling at me. Sister Sri nudged my arm, I also threw a smile. Mas Rifan came out and went into his sister's shop.

" No, he just came out after Aira returned his smile. Try if he avoids it he can still stand there rich statue, hahaha ! " laughter mbak Sri chuckled.

" Yes too, he actually blinked his eyes at me. But I immediately turned and pretended to have Sri take the plate. It means distract him. It still seems to be a henchman ! " i'm a little upset.

" After tomorrow-tomorrow if he comes here, Aira just relax. As usual, he was bored by himself. Maybe he's just curious about Aira. Men are mostly like that, already have a wife but still Ijo if you look at the clear.

Keep on fad approaching to invite acquaintances. If the girl is serving, there is an illegal relationship. But if the girl behaves naturally, she must back off. People are just idiots. " Mr Sri said at length times high.

" Ciyee, the kayak that's been cheated on. " I teased him. "I don't believe it ! " said again.

" I didn't want to wait, I was told to smile back. How the hell is it ? " much confused.

" A smile is normal. Try if he avoids continue he must think mbak Aira shy but want. He grew curious and continued to pursue. That guy likes a challenge, the more we hide, the more obsessed he is." Mbak Sri. Ha ha !

" Yes Mamah Dedeh, I understand, hahaha ! " our laughter exploded.

" How come even berguarau yes, this plate taken his table cleaned ! " mom shouted from the front.

Ma'am Sri shut her mouth holding her laughter. Then he went out to get the dirty dishes. I took a napkin to clean the table.

" Sri's mother had lunch first, later let Aira do the dishes" said the mother.

" It's okay Mom, it's lunch later." Ma'am Sri answered and was about to start washing.

" Mr Sri eat first, I want to pray Dzuhur. I'll help you wash the dishes." I asked Sri to leave her job. He also went for lunch.

Chicken traders came to deliver some chicken village that had been slaughtered and cleaned the fur. Next I or mbak Sri who will cut each part.

" If you used to slaughter yourself, then Rina or Tika's mother cleaned the fur and cut it. But now we accept clean, because it takes a long time to slaughter and clean yourself.." I told her the same as Madam Sri when she was cutting her chicken.

" Mending so, now all practical, " said mbak Sri.

Mas Rifan was also just that time stopping by. Reportedly he also opened a grocery store such as mbak Wiwit in shops west of the market. And it turns out it's still a complex with Joni's mas shop.

But today there was something else than usual. After shopping I saw Rifan coming to the store with Cyntia, his daughter Wiwit who was the same age as Stella. Maybe just came home from school because he was still wearing his kindergarten uniform. He sat in a small TK.

" Hello Brother Aira ! " cyntia said hello to me. He wiggled his hair in two.

" Hello is also beautiful, just came home from school ! " i replied as I pinched his chubi cheek. Stella is my niece.

" Yes, get picked up by Oom Rifan ! " said again. Mas Rifan nodded and threw a smile at me. I said a quick glance and then I asked Cyntia again, "Why not pick up papa ? "

" Papa is working again, so Cyntia went home with Oom Rifan ajaah," he replied innocently.

" Oh that way, my brother went in first, yes" I said later. I immediately entered the stall before Rifan opened his voice.

" Mr Sri, look at Cyntia coming home from school to be picked up by Rifan. Usually the same as his father." I told mbak Sri. He was washing dishes.

The mother who had just finished breakfast was also astonished. "Tumben's Cyntia isn't the same papa." Mom said and put the dishes in the sink. " Maybe Heri's a badass." Continue mother guessing.

" At least that was Rifan's will. Look, he's gonna be here any minute for drinks or food." Mbak Sri.

" I was thinking there too. You see, when I asked Cyntia, she said that her papa was working. Not every day nor did Heri always leave her job to pick up Cyntia, was she the boss." I added too.

Indeed mbak Wiwit never told me that her husband had a business meubel. Although small, he also has several employees.

" Brother Airaaa, I want to eat fried chicken ! " cried the little Cyntia. He went in and behind him Rifan followed.

" Yes dear, let bude take it !" his mother came out to serve them. I was sipping the tea I had just made until I could not finish it.

" Did I tell you, didn't he come here ?" Mbak Sri sneered. " Rifan wears a new style. His niece who was told to eat kept him feeding. So he could be here longer. " Sri was guessing.

I saw Rifan whispering something into Cyntia's ear.

" I'd like to have some anget tea, but Aira's sister made it." Cyntia said and looked at me.

I made him some hot tea. When I put the glasses on the table they suddenly felt my hand. I was shocked and could not escape. " Thank you, Brother Aira ! " cyntia said.

" I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" said Mas Rifan. Obviously, his hand was holding unintentionally. Thankfully no one was watching.

He seemed to be smiling with satisfaction, I just kept quiet because there was Cyntia here. There is no way I can scream or say something rude in front of a child.

" Aren't you the same as his wife ? " tanyaku. Intentionally remind him. let him realize that he is married.

" No, he will take care of the shop again" he replied casually by feeding Cyntia.

" Oh that way, while taking care of the child of course yes." I pretended I didn't know she didn't have any children.

" There is no Dik. It should be the same in Aira, only then can. "

What ? What does this mean. I didn't think it turned out that my question was instead used as material to seduce me.

I did not answer again and turned to the kitchen.

" Fuck," I said but shrewdly. Madam Sri turned her head straight at me.

" Why else, Miss Aira ? " ask him.

" That's Rifan, the other day I brought Cyntia tea, uh she suddenly stroked my hand. " Then I told you what Mas Rifan said.

" Maybe he's stressed because his wife is not pregnant, so it's nonsense hehe ! " Mr Sri laughed sneering.

I'm laughing too. Yes, I don't want to think too. What matters is that I behave naturally.. Mbak Sri said. Men are always less and like to be fun.
