At about four in the afternoon, the new Dimas
back from the tutoring place asking for help
Malik to take her to the market, where
Magnolia is selling. That day was the day
IPA and Magnolia follow-up has been
promised to take the test to his brother.
However, when Dimas picks her up, the girl
it's not in school anymore. Although
so, his heart felt relieved after getting
info from one of the teachers when Magnolia is already
complete all exams and go straight
homecoming.
But, he knew his sister would not return home
homehouse. Magnolia used to keep a shirt
in the bag and she changed clothes at the WC
general in the market and then sell.
Magnolia bikes are also not home.
Since morning he has been carrying
the bike to the market with
easy without the need to ride public transport.
"Yesia? There was." replied Jajang so Dimas
difficulty finding his sister. The market has
pretty quiet, although there are still some
the seller who holds the trade. Shanties
they are usually near the road
until the young reached by pedestrians
passing coincidence.
"Lookless. The bike's still there."
Dimas pointed towards the trunk of the series tree
alias kersen. The Magnolia Bike
parked there, a sign that the girl
haven't come home.
"If it's not outside, it means it's nawarin
goods get inside. Just go in, deh.
There's still hours sold at los."
Jajang pointed towards los at the back
them. The first line is a bit quiet, though,
there are still some vegetable sellers. Dimpled
which was requested several times by Magnolia
to stop by the vegetable merchant's place
he knows some of his sellers.
"Okay, thanks, Bang." Dimas smiled. Him
then look at Malik who is still there
his motorcycle. His friend is still
wearing the same helmet and jacket
previously borrowed by Magnolia. Two days
after passing out near their house,
Magnolia returns jackets and sandals
Malik. Special jacket, he washes and
spray lots of clothes fragrances
so that Malik is not angry.
"Thank you for the jacket. I washed it with Dettol,
Molto. The net is using Rapika. Anyway
there are no germs anymore. Sandals too
I brushed.”
Malik had not even opened it
mouthparts. However, Magnolia had already escaped
it was as fast as lightning and refused to look at his face
more than a minute.
Afterwards, Malik no longer saw the trunk
nose Magnolia to Dimas asking
his help returned to accompany him
the young man looked for his sister to the market.
"Yes, it might still be inside. I want to
go in first find him. You want to wait or
back?"
Malik seems to be weighing
at the same time as the phone
vibrate and he gets a call from
the mother.
"Yes, Bun? I'm at the market again. Nemenin Dimas
nyari Yaya's."
Malik calls his mother, Laura Hasjim
call Mother and the woman when
hearing the name Magnolia mentioned by
his son, so excited.
"Meet Yaya?"
"Yet, Bun. New sample. Dimas wants to
search for. I'm planning on going straight home."
"Hey, don't go home yet." Laura said,
"Mother nitip buy salt soy sauce, sesame oil,
same leeks buy five thousand. Wear money
you first. Mommy's home change. Wanted
cook rice Hainan.”
Malik had not even answered because
Laura immediately disconnected.
That way, he could no longer refuse
when asked to do something. Laura
hapal was right in the character of his one son.
Therefore, he turned back to
Dimas is still waiting for an answer
from her.
"Gue's coming in. Told Mommy to shop."
Dimas nodded right as Malik said
if he's gonna park the bike near
cherry tree, not far from Magnolia bike
be in. Only then was the handsome dream
many girls in the school rushed
following the already-first Dimas
walk in los.
As Dimas had previously alleged, the market
it's kind of lonely. But, as far as his eyes
looking at her, there was no face of her sister where
pun. Malik behind him had already rushed to
shop sweets so then, Dimas
decided to walk past the seller
vegetable. There, he will ask
the salesman who was familiar with his sister, who knows
they know the existence of Magnolia. 2
Near the onion stand, courtesy of Mak Surti,
Dimas heard a woman's voice
middle-aged was nagging accompanied by a voice
whose cry he knew well.
Therefore, Dimas also accelerated the pace
towards the source of the sound and once it arrived, he did not
can withstand the surprise.
“Do not move, Neng. Item all. Sick emang.
But, if not scraped, not healed.”
mak Surti said in a tone-filled voice
concerned, “Yes Allah, pity very much
gini kayak.
“Sick, Mom. Yaya never scraped.”
Mak Surti cut off Magnolia greeting, “If
you didn't vomit like that, no
I'll scrape. Very sorry, ah. Where
this thin dry body. Fortunately, you are white
saucy.”
Dimas who had already stepped towards the source
sound slowly in the end not
power to resist the taste of grief when finding
his sister sat with half of his body
behind open. Mak Surti
spirit dented his back
using five hundred color coins
yellows. The distinctive smell of balm penetrates into
close your eyes when you see Magnolia
rubbing her tears with her back
hand.
“Still small have been looking for money until it hurts like this.
If I were my son, I wouldn't let you hang around
clothesline under the sun's heat, got tested.”
Mak Surti's face looked sad and Dimas
I saw a man she knew
with the name Beni, was watering the former
vomiting not far from them.
Mak Surti mentioned vomiting.
Did his sister vomit too?
“Eh, no Dimas.”
Beni's voice was done cleaning
the remnants of Magnolia vomit make two
the woman who is now sitting under the sales desk,
tarpaulin tarpaulin used selling red onions, beralas,
seperpak looked towards him. Dimpled
automatically smile even though he feels clumsy.
Scrap marks on Magnolia's back as if
heart and heart until
be split. He didn't know even after
for days, the condition of his youngest sister has not
also recovered.3
Last night they were still learning
together though not as before,
Dimas ended their study session at
eleven o'clock at night and order the Magnolia
repose.
“Yaya hurts?”
Dimas tried to squat near his sister.
But, Magnolia then told him to
away, “Sanaan, Mas. Here the smell of balm.”
His sister seemed uncomfortable,
but Dimas did not think of staying away.
Mak Surti is still insistent on finishing
his job while Magnolia's been
grimacing marks can not stand.
“Ang.” Mak Surti tells Dimas,
“The body was so cold, just now. Good thing though
already vomiting. Out all the pain.”
Dimas extended his right hand to
touching forehead Magnolia. But, just one
seconds because the girl immediately brushed off the sign
embarrassed.
“Mas, ah, sanaan. Don't look at Yaya
dress up.”
Magnolia squirmed and
close your eyes at the end of the coin
driven Mak Surti scraping skin
his back is deep enough.
“This policy directly drink Resist Wind. Continues
sleeps. No need to sell tomorrow. Reckless
really looking for money when it hurts again.”
Magnolia was too busy frowning
sick so he no longer cared
wejangan Mak Surti
automatically send everything to
Dimas.
“Don't give me a malem first, Mas. This
pity the Yaya until she shakes her body.
Brackets if necessary. I feel sorry for the same
hers. No father should find money
by himself, he said he wanted to enter SMANSA. If
I have money, I love it. Where is his son
submissive.. “.
Dimas nodded. Seen by the face
Magnolia that doesn't even seem to care
with Mak Surti.
Her lips even reply, “Next no
eat.” who made the boy
trying to hold back the crying. feuds
they came down yesterday to that problem
same and he who feels Magnolia fixed
taken care of by mom, feeling very slapped
with this situation. To my mom, Magnolia
is a stepchild who is not entitled to
anything at all.
“It's done?” the sudden voice of Malik
appearing behind Dimas makes Magnolia
who did not expect his presence
ask Mak Surti to stop. Him
instantly become very agitated and trying
covering the back of her body
open-ended.
“Bentar, Deck. Little more. Ntar lo is sick again. At
home no one helps ngerok.”
Malik was silent for a moment when his eyes
catch the blackish red stripes in
the skinny back of Magnolia. But, uh,
as fast as lightning he turned back to
Dimas and tried to smile as if not
seeing nothing, including how red
magnolia face due to pain relief.
“Udah, Mak. Yaya is fine.”
Mak Surti finally gave up. Tidied
the rest of the scrapings on the body of Magnolia and
clean the remaining oil with a washcloth
out of nowhere. After one massage in
nape of Magnolia, he finally saves
container balm and help Magnolia
fixing underwear and sweatshirts
donned.
“Do not wander. Go straight home and
rest.” order Mak Surti.
"Yes, Mommy." Dimas answered first.
He didn't care at the time that Magnolia didn't
agree with his words. But Dimas is not
take dizziness. After taking all
magnolia merchandise already in existence
in a cloth bag, he then
holding his sister's hand and saying goodbye
with Mak Surti.
"Go home, yeah, Mom. Bang Beni, Yaya's home."
Beni the chili pepper waving
smearing a clove cigarette on his lips, temporarily
Mak Surti rose from his current place
sit down to get back to the onion sales stand
and his potatoes. Magnolia itself,
walking down his head as soon as he
passing Malik as usual mute
and not responding at all. Him
just looking at his current hand
linked to Dimas's fingers. Occasional
brother rubbed his dry skinny fingers
his sister and at the time, Magnolia occasionally
close your eyes and remember,
dimas' treatment of him was so similar
with what Dad always did for him.
If time could come back, he would love to
papa wakes up so he can say
magnolia missed him a lot.
