We, Without Me

Galak Pawang

The water droplets on the surface of the leaves are already thinning. Vaporizing into space welcomed the rising sun, peering out from behind the white-mixed ash cloud in the blue sky. Slowly warms the wet Earth.

“Mama titip Yuki Yes, Kev. Please please happy that chatty Mama's son. Don't let him be alone and crying again. If one day there is a behavior Yuki who is less pleasing to you, please guide him because you are more mature. As much as possible you are patient against him.”

“Iya, Mother. Keven promised to make Yuki happy. Not going to Keven justin Yuki alone again, because without Mama ask actually I can not be far from Yuki.”

“Hold your promises and talk .. Mama blessing you two.”

Blissful twinkle in Keven's face. The man who stood on the left side of Mama Maria spontaneously turned his head, looking at the Mother of the idol. Keven seemed to be thrown into the air and crashed into a thick, soft, flowering trampoline that let out a soothing fragrance.

“Mama entrust Yuki to you,” continued Mama Maria while rubbing her arm, suddenly she shuddered, goosebumps from the cold. “So when do you want to get married again? Don't date for long. Moreover, you guys have also been married.”

Bowing softly, Keven his breathing was rough. Quite disappointed in himself. “I .. sorry, Ma. Keven can't make an appointment soon. Honest with current economy ..”

“Sufficiently formalize your relationship. Without any party Yuki wants,” cut Mama Maria. “Mama know that impatient child is secretly waiting for your certainty. Talk two. Mama wait for the good news.”

“What good news?” yuki's chirp with a shrill voice, managed to make Mama Maria and Keven flinch aghast.

The girl was like a thief who suddenly appeared, but dared to narrow between Keven and Mama Maria. Now the round eyes that had looked straight at the streets of the housing complex in the morning began to see the two humans on the left right side alternately.

“Good news Mama got a grandson,” answered Mama Maria then, then turned into the house of Keven's parents. Exactly three days and two nights Mama Maria hitchhiked there while in City B.

“Dikira ngupil can cepet ngasih grandson,” grumbled Yuki lirih while throbbing.

“By, Mama's coming home later between me somewhere huh?” Yuki's voice re-echoed, but this time it was more spoiled and clearly aimed at Keven.

“Where?” keven asked gently as he rubbed the top of Yuki's head.

“Follow me later. Anyway you are special today so Ayang ojek me, okay?” yuki said while forming a circle from his index finger and right thumb as a signal of approval. However, from the firm tone that was thrown, it was clearly not willing to accept rejection.

...----------------...

By noon, the warm morning was gone. Unfortunately, it does not get hot. The blue sky was perfectly covered by the black clouds. Rumbles like the cry of a starving baby.

“Home tomorrow, Dek,” said Mama Agni trying to prevent Mama Maria who is ready with a purple umbrella.

“Izin cuti ha-AAGH!”

“Aaaaa!!”

The echoes of the screams of the two old women instantly filled the entire corner of the house. The sparkle and the thunderous sound of a lightning strike was like a rage that was ready to destroy the world. In addition, Yuki reflex closed her eyes while covering her ears with both hands. Keven and Papa Leigh were only closed for a moment.

“Ma, we'll be home tomorrow. Serem. Getting fired is okay, too. Than the danger on the road.” Yuki approached, pleading with a face full of worry.

“Yes, Mama wait to subside. Fear of lightning is so great.” Mama Maria folded the umbrella in her hand.

“Come, in-entry. The rain is getting heavier,” said Papa Leigh while gently pushing Mama Agni's arm. Continue waving lowly at Yuki to quickly catch up.

Now the five people are both sitting in the living room befriending warm tea and banana chips. Throwing each other small talk slowly becomes a serious conversation.

Heavy topics about Keven and Yuki's relationship did not go unnoticed. First, of course, about the wishes of Mama Maria leave Yuki every day to Mama Agni and Papa Leigh before entering the boarding house that she has prepared. Then began to explore the opinions between parents who ended up on questions about the seriousness of the two main actors.

“Yes forlorn this child,” said Mama Maria in despair. His mouth was almost frothy, but the one who became the main character was actually sound asleep while hugging his arm. No one even realized because from the beginning Yuki hid her head that was lowered under the arm of Mama Maria.

“Pa, the table slide first. Pillow put here .. help lift Yuki, Kev.”

“Udah justin, Ma'am. Yuki if you've been sleeping stewing like this is hard to remove. Exactly leech.”

...----------------...

“Hoaaaeem ..” A loud roar came out from the mouth that was wide open. The visuals are amazing as a wave from the corner of the left lip to the right.

“Still sleepy?”

“Banget, By.”

“Handles. Mandarin your head.”

“Halah, mode! Wear a sleepy nanya. If you want to be hugged say aja. You are mostly stylish,” babble Yuki sewot while wrapping her hands in Keven's stomach. Without waiting for long, he put one side of the cheek on the left shoulder of Keven while closed enjoying the exposure of cold air after the rain. The smell of wet soil is miraculously refreshing. While Keven just shakes amusedly.

“Mama has arrived yet huh, By?” yuki said firmly behind Keven's back that focused on riding the bike.

“Not yet. Maybe just came out of the gate. Why?”

“No.”

“Still kangen?”

“Iya," said Yuki, certainly not heard by Keven.

A moment of silence was present between the pair of human children. Only the noise of the roar of the motor engine and the horn that is sometimes earthy call to hearing.

A few moments later Keven slowed down the speed of the motor and then said, “ awhile longer there is a gap, right left?”

“Left, By," Yuki replied with a flickering left hand. Outstretched straight as the palm waved like affirming the answer given.

"Home stop by to buy martabak yeah, By. Make it to Om Yudith's house" said Yuki again.

Keven silently nodded. A moment later it was stroked and the soft pats on the back of Yuki's still-cloaked hand on her stomach. At once he lowered his gaze, glancing towards the tiny fingers that were still empty. Once upon a time, a ring was enthroned.

"By, the day after I don't have to be delivered. You will want a new kid interview to keep the store. Let's efficiently. Then just bring the same body of clothes to the boarding house Mama. Mama took care of everything. At the end of the afternoon we check the location and play to Om Yudith workshop. I also do not know what our sales model will be. Just kayak kayak kaki five that usually sell fried rice at night."

"Follow me. After that we go to your new cost," said Keven full of rejection while slowing down the speed of the motor that slowly stops. "Interview at eight, just two. I'm going to meet Yogi, so you can sleep. I'll pick you up in the afternoon."

“Yogi temen you who wear glasses box and the person looks calm it?” yuki said quickly while raising her next to her eyebrows.

Keven nodded.

“Definitely got a lot of girls, right?”

“You know where?” is from Frowning, Keven reviewed a faint smile. Quite amazed at Yuki's guess which can be said to be right on target.

“Beneyes? It looks from his smile doyan same dreadlocks charm. But emang handsome anyway, rather there are sweet-sweet that is.”

Spontaneous Keven patted the lightning back of Yuki's hand. Scowling bitterly while determined not to take Yuki when meeting Yogi, a friend who doubles as his current lawyer.

True, the struggle for fraud that Keven experienced is still being pursued. If he can't get back his efforts so far, Keven just hopes to clear up misunderstandings with various business partners and restore his image that had been tarnished.

Meanwhile, Yuki the troublemaker only scowled and laughed crisply behind Keven. He was very curious how Keven pouted expression because he had just praised another man. Although not denied praise is not a mere scenario. In fact, for Yuki, Yogi is quite handsome.

"I can't wait to see you in people's orders. Even though diem likes to make me klepek. But how am I a little worried, huh, By? Kayak must be prepared mentally .. It is clear that your level of fondness is guaranteed to rise. Anyway later I want to install a fierce charmer shield, you can't complain!" seloroh Yuki was interspersed with giggling sounds that ended with heavy sighs.
