The Unconsidered Bungsu

CHAPTER 46 Abstinence

This afternoon after lunch, visitors to the stalls one by one have started to leave their place. I ate lunch and sat at the front desk.

" Tumben portion of the meal is a lot, you should not be left out. " Mom rebuked me .

"Yes Buk, definitely out of it don't worry, "I said then took the crackers.

I don't know why these days I feel happy and excited.

When I finished eating, I heard the sound of a child in front of the Wiwit store. Looks like it's Cyntia, maybe she just got home from school. But the tumben is noisy. I went out to see it too.

" Brother Airaa, I just bought a balloon doll with Oom Rifan ! " cyntia yelled at me. Turns out he's with his oom, not his papa. They sit in front of the store.

" Oh yes, very good balloon," I said as I approached and rubbed his cheek. A doll-shaped balloon floated on top of it.

Mas Rifan threw a smile at me. I returned his smile just a stale.

" Why not get in the balloon, honey ?" kataku later.

From earlier mas Rifan did not invite Cyntia in but usually immediately changed clothes. While Wiwit mbak again serves buyers.

" Oom Rifan said later, would like to sit here first" replied Cyntia innocently.

Apparently Rifan taught me. Maybe he also told Cyntia to call me earlier. Just look later Wiwit's probably nagging.

" If so brother Aira enter first yes," I said and went into the stall. I took my old dinner plate and I took it to the kitchen.

" Who was this noisy man ? " ask Sri mbak.

" That's Cyntia coming home from school with Rifan, continuing to buy doll balloons, just showing off to me" I said.

" Picked up Rifan again ? " ask Sri again.

" Yes, Cyntia was not invited to enter and sat in front. Usually, I change clothes." I commented.

" Cyntia, let's get changed ! I'll sit there and the uniform gets dirty !" yell mbak Wiwit.

Tuh right, mbak Wiwit has been nagging until heard from here.

" Must be Rifan who taught me, let there be a reason if you want to meet mbak Aira. Lest his father be persuaded to eat here." Mbak Sri grumbled.

" Let alone, later if he comes here continue to ask for a drink Madam Sri loh madein," my message is the same mbak Sri.

And sure enough, shortly afterwards Rifan entered ordering lunch and asking for iced tea. But Cyntia didn't go with him. She said she said Cyntia wanted to eat at the store. He brought his food and drinks to the store.

" Pity, it turns out his parents do not want to eat here. Hihihi.. already have a wife still glancing at another girl." Mbak Sri chuckled while talking about Rifan.

" Not really, he rarely stopped by his sister's shop. Sometimes he stopped by his wife too. Maybe today Cyntia's papa can't pick up. " I also think positively with his sister mbak Wiwit it.

It has been a long time since he stopped by the store let alone eat at the stall. Even if he had come here had never teased me again, just steal a glance when I clean the table or sweep the porch of the stall.

"Aira, mom wants to pray first, you wait for the stall," the mother ordered when entering the kitchen.

I also replaced my mother waiting for the stall in front. Some time later I saw Rifan come out with Cyntia. He looked at the stall, but didn't see me because I just peeked inside.

" Mamaa drugs ! " cyntia exclaimed as she waved and passed with her uncle.

In the afternoon before returning home mbak Wiwit returned the plates and glasses that Rifan brought earlier. Mom and I are also getting ready to go home.

We walked home as usual. As I passed by the market I saw Raka standing at the gate looking towards us.

" Just got home, Buk ? Aira ma'am ? " sweep it while nodding and smiling

" Yes, are you waiting for your mother? " my mother asked back.

" My mom's home, I'm waiting for a friend." He answered by pointing to the door of the market.

" We go first, yes" I said as I passed by. He also nodded in favor.

But then his friend showed up, I just walked a few steps in front of him. I heard them saying hello to each other. I looked up and they seemed to be talking seriously. His friend looked at me with a smile.

" Buk, Raka's friend smiles at me. Is there anything wrong, lest there be dirt on my hijab." I complained to mom. I watched myself if there was anything that made his friend Raka's guy smile at me.

" There's nothing, clean all the hijab on your shirt. Already let it go, maybe Raka told her friend that she often eats at our stall. Then he pointed at you." Mom calmed me.

" Oh, what friend was he ? " let's have a little pleasantry.

" Have been home since then" he answered. Without guessing he asked for the basket I brought.

" You don't want to turn east. The day you went by it." I reminded him before he brought my lily.

" It's okay, sometimes I go straight. There will be another turn." He answered casually and asked to return my bed.

I couldn't resist and I just gave it to him instead of me carrying it heavy. Until the front of the gate RW he handed back my basket, and he decided to turn to the right.

The next night I told him about Raka as Nia who was in her room.

" Who is Raka, how are you just telling me now ? " ask Mbak Nia.

" That's her son, Ms. Harti, a friend of her mother who sells household appliances in the market, "I replied. Ms. Nia must know Harti as well.

" Oooh, the other day nitip greetings to you through that Gugun ? " guess it.

" Kok mbak Nia know, Eva must have said yes ! " sahutku blushed. Look out Eva, it turns out she's the same stories mbak Nia.

" Yes when you left, Eva came here and Raka was who. I said I didn't know. If Ms. Harti I know, but if her son doesn't know." Ma'am Nia replied casually She was nursing a baby Arkana in bed.

" The raka these few days often eats at our stall. Initially meeting accidentally at the market, he again waited for his brother's clothing stall. When I passed by Gugun was picking clothes, he called me and I approached. Raka also saw me, and when I got back to the stall, she was following me." I told it to Mbak Nia.

" Why did you get past the clothes stalls, want to buy clothes ? " ask him next.

" Well I'm again shopping continue to buy emping same tengginang. I used to pass through clothes stalls because the streets were cleaner and not crowded. Usually the stalls are always closed, but maybe only about a month is open."

" Mommy Harti is her son handsome guys anyway. . Raka's brother used to be invited to the market. I had a crush, unfortunately he already had a girlfriend, hehe. "remember Nia.

" Huuuuh, just said he did not know his son Harti. Turns out..... " I didn't continue my sentence, meaning to complain to Nia.

" It's not like you've been talking about Raka anymore, if she's really I don't know." Nia tried to sneeze.

" But you said his son, not Raka. I don't have to grumble." I continued to scatter while I held a small pinch to my brother's waist.

" Your huush is nothing, it's grown up like a child. Arkana's gonna wake up because of the noise you two have." Finally mom's reprimand stopped my debate with mbak Nia.

" Have you prayed yet Aira ? " ask dad from the living room. He was enjoying the coffee and snacks that his mother brought from the shop.

" It's dong, Dad. Father's son who is righteous is never absent if the affairs of worship, hehe. "my answer is pride.

" Huh, praise yourself," said Nia.

" Barain, yes weeekk ! " and I thrust my tongue at him. I also came out of my sister's room.

When I was about to go into the room I felt hungry, it turns out I have not had dinner so enthusiastically chatting with mbak Nia.

I'm heading to the kitchen to make some hard-boiled instant noodles with eggs. After that I immediately ate while watching a sitcom on television.

" Make what Ra, nyicip dong ! " call Nia when she came out of her room.

" Make your own dong ! If the tasting is there later I will not be eating instead you spend." I grumbled because he was bothering me.

" Arkana woke up and continued to suckle, I became hungry." mbak Nia said as she headed for the kitchen. Mostly looking for food.

After I finished eating I put the bowl on the table and then I went into the room. I took the phone and I sent the WA message to Eva's number. He's offline, maybe again studying or working on a task.

[Bestie, I want to confide. 😘 But tomorrow if you go home, do not want via WA. ]

[Saturday tomorrow go home yes, do not 😜 ]

I sent him, he hasn't opened yet. Let it open later or tomorrow.
