The Unconsidered Bungsu

Chapter 62 Turns Kangen

Tumben Raka hasn't called me all day. Is it because it's Sunday night and he's planning to see me. Although we agreed not to meet, but that was my request. It seemed that he hesitated to agree.

" Raka isn't here Ra ? " tanya mbak Nia after eating on the terrace earlier. He asked Arkana from his father's arms for Magrib's punishment was soon to come.

" I don't know, he hasn't called me since. There may be additional lectures or other assignments." I try to think positively.

Nia's mother went into her room. I went to the bathroom. After cleaning myself and wearing clothes I set myself in the mirror. I rubbed powder and a little lipstick. I don't know why I feel like Raka wants to come here.

" Airaaa, azan let's open ! " Mom called me from the dinner table. I rushed out and joined them.

" Mas Joni opens in the store huh Ma'am ? " just ask Nia who is still in her room.

" Yes, no need to worry there are many who sell," he said relaxed.

I just drink kolak and eat snack takjil that I bought in mbak Yah. Then I took my prayer equipment and went out to the mosque. So did dad. The difference is that I finished eating.

" I just wanted to call you out" said Eva, who was standing on the porch of her house.

" I don't want any tarzan in front of my house, so I'm out." I mocked him "So it was ablution all of you while bathing," I continued.

" Anyway, pretty like this is what tarzan says. " Eva grumbled as she put her lips together. I let it go and continued walking towards the mosque just a few steps away from our house.

" To my house first yuk, while waiting for tarawih time," asked Eva when she finished praying Magrib.

" I want to eat first, just ate not yet full. " I give you an excuse. Not that I want to refuse but my feelings are upset again. I'm still thinking about Raka, hoping she'll come tonight. I've been missing for a week, maybe because I'm used to every Sunday night we meet.

But Raka did not come. I intend to contact him.

" Aira let's spout ! " I haven't been able to open the HP Eva has shouted to call me. I put it again and I took the prayer kit and went out to see Eva. We also walked to the mosque.

"' Raka didn't come here, did he ? " ask Eva on the way. "' It's good, it's tarawih time." He continued his words without waiting for my answer. I kept quiet, lazy to respond.

At the mosque many children greeted us.

After praying tarawih I took Eva home. "I will be scolded by papa if I do not follow the tadarus," he said.

" I went home first, yeah, it's so sleepy." I gave you a reason if Eva believed. He nodded, as there were other girls in the mosque.

" Why not join the tadarus ? " ask the father who has gone home first. " Cappy Well," I said as I walked into the room.

I laid my body on the bed while opening HP, intending to send a message to Raka. It turns out he's online too.

[Hi Raka ! How not to contact me all day anyway 😔 ]

[I'm sorry, it's beautiful, there's a group assignment that needs to be collected so I'll work with my friends first. Just this afternoon I came home and fell asleep because I was tired. 🙏 ]

[Oh that's. But btw, when dong you come here 🤭 ]

[ Hey, that's right. Not that you have an idea so we don't have to meet first ]

[Yes, but I miss. Can't wait to see 🙈 ]

[Yes, we meet tomorrow. But I sell, it has started many people looking for clothes for Lebaran. If you play at my uncle's kiosk how ]

[Okay, tomorrow if I go shopping I stop by it . Bye ]

[Bye see you 😘 ]

I put my phone. I feel relieved. Let me endure the shame of Raka. I made the promise myself but I broke it myself.

________________

" Mom, I want to go shopping but all of you stop by Raka's stall. Who knows can help, before Lebaran usually has begun to crowded." I asked Mom for permission.

This time I don't have to huddle like I used to go to Arya's house. Moreover, the first week of the fasting month of the stall is still quiet, so I can freely go out.

" Okay Ma'am," I said excitedly. I took the money in the drawer and rushed out to Sumi's kiosk first.

" Titip first yes Ma'am, I will leave first I take as usual," I said while handing him a shopping note.

" Where are you going ? again fasting can not date loh ! " cock on mumi

" Aah Mbak Sumi can, if I date her why, "sawutku while turning around to leave.

" Know dong guy here, "cock mbak Sumi again. I laughed and hurried to leave the stall.

Arriving at his uncle Raka's kiosk, it appears they are serving buyers. I just stood in front because I didn't want to interrupt. Raka turned unintentionally towards me.

" Hey," I said, throwing a smile. " Eeh Aira, come in ! " bring Raka along. He took my hand and told me to sit inside.

" Oh there's Aira, tumben play here ! " sapa mas Adi Raka's. I know his name because he used to stop by the stall a few times with Harti. I just found out what Raka was waiting for was her stall and now they are selling together.

" Yes Mas, I happen to want to stop by again" I replied as I let go of Raka's hand. He continues to serve buyers.

After wrapping and the buyer went Raka sat in front of me "Why, miss huh ? " ask him directly. I blushed, I stuck my index finger on my lips to code it. I am ashamed to be heard by Adi. Fortunately, he was still outside.

" Why don't you go home" I said with a frown. I pinch Raka's arm. " Hey, how come this is all ?" He rubbed his arm.

" Today who said, do not need to meet first yes, let the concentration of worship. Who is it, who ? " ask her slowly but with emphasis.

" I said that, but I was really upset. Last night I waited for you but didn't come." I sulk spoiled.

Despite her age under me but Raka was always mature in front of me I was like finding Widi inside her. Patience facing me.

" Where do I dare to go home, do you say no. Continue if you miss why not send WA or phone first in the afternoon. Even the new tarawih contacted me." He continued his words.

" Forgot, I thought you'd come as usual" I said slowly. Raka chuckled as she ruffled my head that was covered in hijab.

" You're a freak, you forbid me from coming but you're waiting for me. Hadeewh ! " He also shook his head.

Your conversation continued and without feeling like I was here for half an hour. I do not feel the same mas Adi who had been sitting outside, maybe even hesitating if you want to enter

" I went back to the stall first yes, it was already wanted by the same mother can not be long." I nodded and stood up.

" How will it be Sunday night tomorrow ? " ask Raka later.

" You go to Dong's house, but don't go out. Let's just talk at home" I asked. He also nodded.

" But you call me every day" I reminded him. " Yes beautiful, beavel ! " he shouted while laughing.

I stick out my tongue and get out of the stall. Don't forget I say goodbye to Adi.

I rushed to Sumi's mom to pick up groceries. He was busy serving the buyer, so I paid through the mother who helped him. If not, then Sumi has teased me.

Arriving at the stall the mother was talking to mbak Wiwit. He was again unable to fast, must have finished breakfast. I went straight to the kitchen and unpacked the groceries. Sri has been waiting for this, he said.

" Kok long anyway Mrs Aira, from earlier I was dumbfounded because no one wanted to be processed." He put on a manyun face.

" Soriii, there was a domestic affair" I said, winking one eye.

" In the land of heaven, dear affairs," chirped mbak Sri meredekku.

" Sri Kayak's mother was never young" I said. In my heart was really happy after meeting Raka. All day yesterday until last night it felt like my chest was tight like something was stuck. But now the wedge is gone. My breath was plump, relieved.

Is this what you call love ?
