When Love Passes Home
Part VI



Magnolia did not understand what it had


happen. Dimas forced her home when


market conditions are still crowded. She can't


he refused because his hand was pulled so hard.


Even Dimas violently threw


all Magnolia merchandise into


the girl's bicycle basket then


ordered his brother to sit in


back while he sat in the front seat,


pedaling pedals like a doormat


they quickly got home.


Magnolia can see the sweat wetting


nape brother. White school uniform


the clean that was wearing looked decrepit


compared to a shabby and faded jacket that always


she wears. Even the gloves


his fingers appear


ugly and ripped. But he didn't


dispute that. Provenance


his hands were protected from the sun, though,


it's okay, Magnolia thought.


“Mamas, why get angry? Yaya buyin


that chicken noodle. Mamas ate, right?


Why go to the market? Not at this clock


must les?”


Dimas did not answer. Not because of the streets


he is a lot or he is a lot


mind, Magnolia doesn't understand. To be sure, though,


as soon as he spoke, Dimas paddled


the bike's getting tighter. Even dimas


just passing through the deep holes


the one that hurt the previous day


Magnolias. He also almost hit the cart


meatballs and got the curse of


his merchant. But, instead of apologizing, I,


He scolded the merchant


without a doubt, a thing that is almost nothing


magnolia never saw out of brother's lips


that's only.


“Mas. Lo why, anyway?”


Magnolia has five answers


minutes later when the two of them arrived


homehouse. Dimas let Magnolia bike


parked in the yard while he


dragged his sister back to the terrace. That moment


mama's slippers are at home and Magnolia


I saw Malik heating up


motor in front of the house. At this hour, Malik


usually will go to a place


course of study. Dimas should have done things too


those. Usually he would leave


with Malik. According to Magnolia, though,


Dimas doesn't seem to care about that


and just lustfully evaporate


his anger that Magnolia did not understand


the reason.


“Lo why, anyway?” ask Magnolia so Dimas


ordered him to sit on the chair


patios. Magnolia refused. Mama


still in the house like this morning


and he was afraid to sit there. Mama will


thought he was dirtying the porch with clothes


and his feet are coming from the market.


“Lo is why!” hardik Dimas, “Gue


wait for you from earlier in school. But they


said you didn't come in. With my eyes


yourself you are even engrossed in sales in the market.”


Breath of Dimas hunt. He pointed at the face


sister repeatedly. His eyes glinted


full of anger and currently, anger


it made his face red


boiled crab.


“Gue wake up.” Magnolia tried


answer honestly, “Wake up half


nine ways to stay up.’


“Attended?” Dimas raised the voice. Moments


that too, mama ran in a frenzy


go to the terrace to find out what


it's happening, and so is Kezia


we got home from the two of them.


“Ngapain him? Make trouble, Mas?” ask


mom from the doorway. He looks very


it's nice to see Dimas so emotionally attached to


Magnolias.


Dimas did not answer


mom questions and prefers focus


to his sister. Because of that, Mama and


Kezia chose to re-enter the house


while laughing. Finally Dipped


opening your eyes to Magnolia.


“Lo stay up for UN and you wake up


misfortune? Why are you selling? Why


not going to school?” Dimpled


gripping the left arm of Magnolia with


so rude that his sister grimaced.


“Lo think you doang stay up late? I still am

request your brother to pass SMP, Dek. I


want you to enter SMANSA ta[i lo more select


gini kayak. Selling what you think. Period


front lo is longer than sales laps


which is of no use it.”


Magnolia's tears that she's resistant to


it was pooled in the eye pelupuk. Him


his voice remained calm as he replied


dimas Saying. That young man was his brother


which he loves very much.


“Gue woke up that's not my will. Don't make my job as


the reason why you are living my life


like this. Why I prefer selling. Precisely


because I know myself I choose sales.”


Magnolia tried to smile, but failed. Water


his eyes fell down a grain of light when he was painstakingly struggling


write one or two more sentences.


“Sorry to put you to shame, make this family ashamed.


But, I've cut sales is the way


my life is more than just learning


ngabisin.”


Dimas who was offended by Magnolia


choose to sell rather than learn without


consciously threw a punch to his sister's shoulder


magnolia almost fell from


the chair. But, not satisfied until there, Dimas


back to blow his sister's cheek


and almost a fidelity if only then it was not


seen the real Malik


take Dimas to go to lessons together.


“Hit me!” Magnolia shouted out loud,


“Lo think schools don't pay? You think clothes


the uniform not bought? Thankfully I did not sell


self to payin all your wills from me


school. You ashamed to see me selling laps? During


this adek you eat from it, not begging from


you all.”


Magnolia rises and pushes the body


To stay away from him. Her tears


it's spilled and wet. Her eyes are as red


blood, but nothing hurts more than


the words Dimas loved the most.


“Lo dare hit me. You know I have a fever but


I think I should go to school and answer


about that fucking UN.”


Dimas looked at his own hands. Him


too surprised to have done that.


Malik's hand had restrained his shoulder and


with red eyes he watched


Magnolia sobbed before him.


“Dek, sorry I.”


“Lo one day will have children, Mas. child


female. Don't hit your son


kayak you hit me. So ill. It hurts because


you think I'm the one who embarrassed you.”


Magnolia felt that she still wanted to


spilling all her feelings. Will


however, Kezia who returned appeared in front


the door seemed to laugh at his feud


with Dimas and Malik's face


worrying about Dimas makes it


he felt as if he was alone


this world.


“Gue buyin lo chicken noodles for eating. Don't


not eaten. That's the money from my lap sale.”


Magnolia just walked past


the three people in front of him and ran out


the fence without looking anymore. While Kezia


sniggering from behind seeing the departure


her sister's.


“Good, he stopped by. Moga is not


back again.”


“Keke!” Dimas rebukes his sister and Kezia


stick out. He then called


Malik in a soft voice, but Malik


it seems to have been too focused on Dimas.


“Yaya!” Dimas who finally regained consciousness began


look around. Like Magnolia, though,


his eyes were also wet with tears. Him


looking towards Malik who was still holding


his shoulders, trying to whisper words


so that he is more patient.


“My add a fever.” Dimas wiped the tears


with the back of the hand, “He still had time


buy me chicken noodles.”


Dimas rubbed his face and barely


screaming because I have done something slow


fools. Why should he slap and


hit the dear Yanya? He's too


panicked and angry at his younger brother.


“Bro, where are you going?” ask Malik when he


saw Dimas running quickly towards


fence.


“Search Yaya.”


“Les how?”


Dimas did not answer. He remembered Magnolia


running to the right, towards the highway.


Her sister no longer wears sandals


and in a fever he ran


alone. Dimas doesn't even know if


Magnolia has eaten or not.


The sky was suddenly dark and lightning was rising


with a sudden rumble. Taste


impossible, but in an instant, drops


the rain started falling until it made Dimas


closed his eyes and cursed himself


by oneself.


Why does it rain at times like this?
