Rossi returned with a tray of warm tea, he placed it before Aris and invited the boy to drink it.
"Thank you, Ros. You shouldn't bother this."
"Drink, this is absolutely no nicotine really." Answer Rossi.
Aris raised the cup containing the tea and intended to drink it. But just as he sipped it a little, Aris choked on the unusual taste of the tea.
Uhuk
Uhuk
Uhuk.
"Why you?" Rossi asked, he stood up to Aris. Rossi was seen rubbing Aris' shoulder slowly.
"So, it's okay." Aris replied, trying to cover something up.
"My tea is not good, right? It's the first time I've made that drink, it's usually mom who always makes the guests who come here drink." Rossi lied.
"Oh, so this is your first tea? How good is it?" Replied Aris with a little pride because he felt he was the first to try Rossi's tea.
"really? So, spend it." Rossi again raised the tea cup that is still in Aris's hands, guiding the man's hand to immediately drink back the tea until it runs out.
Aris painstakingly downed Rossi's tea to the toilet, the salty taste so sharp that it made his throat feel dry, he was eager to shout to refuse, but because this was Rossi's first tea, it was so sharp, inevitably he had to spend to appreciate Rossi.
"Where is my tea good?" Ask Rossi back.
Aris nodded her head with a face that could not be deciphered. In his mouth he was still staining the remaining tea that he could no longer afford to swallow.
Not strong anymore with the salty tea that is still in his mouth, Aris got up from his seat and ran out to spit out the remaining tea that he still holds in his mouth, rossi laughed in the voice he was trying to hold.
"Why are you, Ris?" Rossi asked who followed out because he heard Aris who started vomiting.
"Water."
"Water."
"Water."
Aris said softly because he was a little weak, he had already vomited all his stomach contents.
"Oh water, I'll get you a minute." Rossi replied in a panic, then rushed inside to get some drinking water.
"Here, Ris." Rossi gave a cup of drinking water that was immediately swallowed by Aris until it ran out.
After finishing a cup of water, Aris felt a little relieved, because her throat no longer felt so salty and dry.
"Why are you, Ris. You sick?" Rossi again pretended to ask, but he knew it was all due to his homemade tea.
"Ros, next time you make tea, use sugar don't use salt." Java Aris with limp.
"Why indeed?" Rossi put on a plain pretentious face.
"The tea is so salty." Aris replied with a grimace recalling the tea he had just drank.
"Is that right, Ris?" Rossi covered his mouth with his hands as if surprised. "I'm sorry, Ris. This is the first time I've made a drink." Rossi put on a clear face, as if feeling guilty.
"It's okay, Ros. Though salty, I'm glad to be able to drink your first tea." Aris put on a forced smile. Even though in his heart he was very upset.
"Make tea not bewitch." Inner Aris.
"Once again I'm sorry." Said Rossi, who was only nodding by Aris.
"Then I go home, Ros. My body's gone limp from vomiting a lot."
"Other times." Answer Aris.
"Yes already." Rossi said.
Aris went in to get her bag, and then came home, she left feeling very disappointed.
"Lho, is your friend home?" Nurmala asked who came out from inside her room when she heard the sound of Aris' motorcycle leaving.
"Do not know. Maybe it's not meant to learn, Mom." Rossi replied with a cup and a glass of Aris tea, his laughter still not gone from his face.
Meanwhile, at his house, Yuda seemed to laugh happily at Aris who was seen vomiting beside Rossi's house. He has been peering out of the window curtains of his house.
"You're saying, Yud." Seeing Yuda peeking while laughing made Ratna curious about what her son was looking at
"Eh, Mommy. Make a shock." Yuda who was focused on watching Aris was unaware of Ratna's presence behind him.
"You hear me laughing all the time, what do you see?" Ask the mother curious.
"That's Bun, I saw another classmate Rossi was drunk from drinking salty tea." Judah answered, pointing to Rossi and Aris.
"Can't you?" Ratna asked curiously, she took a peek with her son.
"Rossi's first-class friends do the betting, Bun. Who managed to mate Rossi, then will get 500 thousand." Obviously Yuda.
"It's so fucking rude of them." Ratna was furious at the explanation of her son.
"Yes, Bun. When I heard their conversation I was also very upset. But I think it's better to teach them such a lesson, than to be tired." Answer Yuda.
"Good, Mother's child can already think of adulthood." Ranta said as he rubbed his son's arm.
"Then, who taught Rossi to be so nosy?" Ratna squinted her eyes at Judah. And Judah only answered him with a horse's grin.
"Actually I also intend to motorbike, Bun. But look Aris is limp so it's not heart." Yuda said with his laughter.
"That lesson to people who want to be bad with us is fine, but do not cross the line, later if something happens fall you become criminal." Ratna gave a warning to her son.
"Yes, Bun." Answer Yuda.
After seeing Aris leave from Rossi's house, Yuda immediately say goodbye to his mother to go to his best friend's house. And when he arrived at Rossi's house, the two friends immediately laughed loudly while holding their stomachs.
"Let's know the taste." Said Yuda, and answered a nod by Rossi who was still laughing.
"How much did you give me?" Ask Yuda again.
"Three." Answer Rossi. Hearing that answer, Yuda laughed again.
"Don't care how it feels." Yuda.
"It must be salty, I just don't dare to try" replied Rossi.
"I was going to make a motorcycle tire engine, but see Aris so limp that, I don't have the heart." Connect Yuda.
"You're a hobby of playing motorcycle tires anyway." Tanya Rossi who remembers Yuda also once deflated his motorcycle tire to reject Susi.
"That's the new kepepet." Yuda answered and laughed again.
Hearing the laughter and chatter of Yuda and Rossi, Nurmala became head bobble, he knew something must have happened with the boy who came to his house earlier to make the two children who were now sitting in his guest chair so laugh happily.
The next day, Aris recounted the incident he had experienced last night while at Rossi's house to his two friends who took part in their bet, to make Firman and Dirman laugh out loud hearing his story.
Aris is aware that he is actually being worked on by Rossi, because even though he has never made a drink, it is impossible for someone to mistakenly give salt or sugar into tea.
Aris feels deterred to approach Rossi, and resigns from the bet.
