Before the neighbors came to mului to send prayers for the late Mbah Kakung, Pakde Sarto was made busy by Alfarizi. He was forced to buy souvenirs using a truck to transport them. From basic food, dates and zam-zam water in large quantities must be bought in Ngawi City, even he had to buy some shops by Hajj there.
"Why should dates and zam-zam water Kang?" neng protested while helping to wrap dates.
"Customized karo facial bojomu," replied Pakde Sarto with a laugh.
"It should be a gift to go home hajj or umrah, Pakde!" alfian protest sitting next to Mbah great-grandmother of Pakde Sarto.
"Alfian, ngopo face Papimu koyok Onta Arab, opo goro-goro dadi TKI suwe ora muleh?" (Alfian, why is your Papi's face like that of the Arab Ota, what is it because the old TKI did not come home?) tanya Mbah Buyut whose name is Mbah Saminem.
"Take Mbah, Al yo rak mudeng, take dewe karo Papi!" (Don't know Mbah, Al doesn't understand, just ask yourself Papi!)
Alfarizi who did not know Mbah Saminem said what immediately whispered to Neng, "What does his Grandma talk, Neng?"
"Ask, why does his face look like an Arab Ota."
"My mother is of Arab-Betawi descent, Mbah," Alfarizi replied softly.
While wrapping the parcels they joked cheerfully. Only Alfarizi who much silent because do not understand the language of Java. Neng's attitude began to melt and did not look awkward after the incident met the neighbors this afternoon.
Alfarizi repeatedly asked Neng the words of those who were joking when he did not know what they meant. Mbah Saminem understands Indonesian but he cannot say it always ask using Javanese. Since Pakde Sarto called Alfarizi Mas Onta Arab, all the families and neighbors also called him.
"Arabian Onta, your singular pyro?" ask Mbah Saminem.
"Ask what is he Neng?" alfarizi whispers.
"How many brothers are there?"
"I'm two brothers Mbah."
"Wong tuomu manggone ngendi?" Mbah Saminem asked again.
Neng immediately said, "Bah asked where the parents live?"
"They live in Riyadt Saudi Arabia, Mbah."
Until almost half an hour Mbah Saminem asked, Neng became his translate and Alfarizi replied in Indonesian. Sometimes Alfarizi answers using Javanese after being taught by Neng an easy answer. Each Alfarizi asked quickly Neng replied, until he had a mischievous idea to ask about his feelings that he had been harboring all this time.
"Neng Geulis ...!" alfarizi whispers.
"Yes, let alone ask."
"What is the language of love?"
"Tresno." replied Neng briefly.
"If you speak the language?"
"Coe."
"If I love you?"
"I'm tresno koe."
"i am also ...!"
"Eee ...?" Neng had just realized what Alfarizi had said.
Neng immediately looked at Alfarizi's face while pursing his lips, nervous and nervous and shocked into one. Shifting his gaze at the parcel he wrapped as Alfarizi kept looking at his face unblinkingly. Neng inhaled a long breath without looking at the surrounding people especially Mother Ani who always glanced at him.
Alfarizi just stared at the heartlessly unblinkingly misplaced Neng. His white face looked red like a tomato even though he tried to hide his nervousness. Love grew after seeing him begin to feel comfortable at his side.
Tonight was the night for Neng. After Alfarizi Neng's love statement gets more misbehaved and cannot hide his nervousness. The simple room in the three of them tonight only had the number two bed, not enough for the three. Pakde Sarto added a single bed under to Akfarizi's bed while Neng and Alfian slept on the bed.
It was almost midnight when Alfian fell asleep after he finished joking with his papa. Alfarizi was still awake waiting for Alfian to completely fall asleep. He knew that Neng had not slept, even though his eyes were closed.
Alfarizi got up and sat down, his chin placed next to Neng's face sleeping on his back and his eyes closed. Staring at her fixedly smooth face without blinking. Get him to talk from heart to heart tonight.
"Mrs ... Neng Geulis, I know you haven't slept!"
"Neng please I want to talk to you for a minute!"
"Hhhm ...!"
"I'm sorry, I used to hurt you, I abandoned you guys ...!"
Not finished continuing Neng's words immediately cutting, "I've long since forgiven you, no need to constantly apologize."
"Please give me one more chance, I'm real, I like you."
Neng immediately opened his eyes and glanced at him. The distance that was only one inch Neng did not dare to look at it at all. The heart beats faster than usual.
"Is there a second chance I can make amends for the mistakes I made, I want to treat the wounds I have lost ...?"
"Sir, can you not hurry?"
"Sure Neng Geulis, I'll be waiting for you."
"Don't force me, don't equate me with another woman. I've never been able to know the opposite sex in my entire life, can you understand what I mean?"
"Of course Neng Geulis, I will do anything so that you can be comfortable with me."
"Sorry Mr. I ...!"
"Wait a minute Neng Geulis, I will not demand and ask anything from you, I will always do my best for you, only one thing I ask, please do not call me Sir, please do not call me, I still feel bad when you call like that!"
Neng took a deep breath and let out slowly. Already tried not to call it when in public, but it was used from the beginning to meet it was difficult to change it. Like a heart that has been accustomed and imprinted from the beginning meets that only belongs to one no one can have it. Until now those words had always been embedded in his heart.
"It's getting used to Tu .. eee, what should I call?"
"Abang, Brother, as long as not Mas Onta Arab just like the people here."
Neng laughed but closed his mouth. Didn't want her son to wake up hearing her laugh in the middle of the night. Later in the event that Kunti Mbak who flirted looking for arab camel that is still awake.
"Don't shut it or laugh, I can't see your pretty face!"
"What the hell, I'm going to sleep!"
"So how to call it is not there is no agreement, Neng Geulis?"
"Tomorrow again, I'm sleepy."
"Well good night, Mas Onta Arab," joked Alfarizi deliberately so that he laughed again, it felt like just hearing his laughter made him happy.
"Fffhh ...!" Neng held back the laughter again while covering her face with a blanket.
After two hours passed Alfarizi heard Neng's regular breathing that had fallen asleep. Alfarizi's eyes still can not be invited to be closed only to look at a beautiful face that sudsh sleeps. There was the sound of Neng's mobile phone vibrating in a state of silent mode on the table, he immediately woke up and saw who was contacting, unfortunately there was only an unknown number.
"Who's calling Neng at this hour, is this the Insect's number?"
