When Love Passes Home
Part IX Magnolia Rayya Hassan does not know what time it is



Magnolia Rayya Hassan doesn't know hit


how much is this time. The rain is still falling, though not


as loud as before. In front of him were two


warm noodle soto bowl. Hot steam


billowed and he noticed


Malik is currently calling for a


waiter to ask for two cups of tea


sweet warm.


His eyes must have been wrong. In front of him at the moment


this must be Dimas or Jajang. Malik Galih's


Badness has never been like this, I thought


Magnolias. He replied almost


never, how could this time be a young man


it was sitting down and ordering a menu


same for him, the neighbor boy, the lapman


boxes that have the status of illegitimate children in


hassan's family home?


Magnolia held her nose closer


the bowl of soto noodles that she guessed was rations


the one Malik gave him. There's just


the two of them were currently, impossible Malik intentionally


buying for Dimas.


Huh, again he remembered Mamas. Is


his brother had eaten chicken noodles


purchase earlier? Because if you don't, you will


it's a pity. He has to sacrifice


three wipes to buy a serving of noodles


chicken with claw and three pentols


meatballs. Dimas gets special portions when


if he is, usually buy half portions.


Besides being frugal, he likes to mix things up


food with rice to fill up


he doesn't need dinner anymore.


Make yourself stingy, but if you buy Mamas, you,


not thinking about money.


Honey, it turns out Dimas was embarrassed to accept the results


his giving. It turned out to be Dimas's box-lap


the box that helped her all this time


connecting with life is useless


and embarrass him. Is it because of that


also, Malik had been reluctant to reprimand her all this time?


“Eat. Don't be overlooked doang.”


Magnolia did not hear Malik's words,


he didn't even notice the waiter


who came and put two glasses of tea


sweet warm in front of them. That girl


just looking at the bowl with lips


curving down imagine


his dear brother at this time might


not eating because of the shame of eating money


he sold for hours.


Just know, Malik pulled the right hand


Magnolia and direct it to


spoon in a bowl in front of the girl


that is until Magnolia stuttered.


“Eat. Take this medicine. Definitely dimas


sad to see you still have a fever like gini.”


Been again. Magnolia thought sad. Him


should suspect the young man in


in front of him at this moment. She is so


worrying Dimas to the Tigers


just take care of Magnolia which has not been


ever been on his radar. Besides Dimas,


Kezia is also one of the people who often he


watch the. Not infrequently, when he peeked


Malik is tutoring Kezia, the boy


the handsome looked at the Magnolia sister


with a very soft look, no


like him, especially like this.


Malik's eyebrows rose, his eyes squinting as if


about to stab Magnolia and send him


to hereafter.


Magnolia decided to nod


and not much to say. With that spoon


malik gave him that, he started


feeding soto noodles to the mouth. However


before that, he thanked me


for the generosity of Malik who never


he's guessing.


Malik as usual kept his ears


and Magnolia is too familiar


finally surrendered.


Inget, yeah, he's just doing this for the sake of


Elder brother. So stop GR and think that


he has feelings. He just had to. Point.


Magnolia and Malik spent a lot of time


about ten minutes spent eating


their night. When Malik wants to pay,


Magnolia had already reached for her jacket


and put a few pieces of money


the shabby grunts he's clumping about


in jacket pocket. It's a little hard to make money


the banknote was because Malik locked it


his jacket tightly. But Magnolia is not


out of reason, just pull the bottom of the jacket


Malik and he can put his hands in


his jacket pocket then took


multiple sheets as payment.


“This is my part.”


Malik only caught a glimpse of Magnolia's hand


the one that stuck out to him and him


pay attention to the thousand sheets


it was in silence before meandering and


walk towards the noodle soto handyman. Magnolias


then look at his own money


gulp down the saliva. What money will he


leave this too ugly so Malik doesn't


wanna accept? But, right, he's getting


the money was hard after


standing for half a day under the heat


the young man's thoughts and response were


flat clenches and he was left a


by enduring the feeling of shame


because he felt his money was not worth enough


as a means of payment.


All right, he'll pay for it himself, think


Magnolias. The girl got up and walked


towards the soto noodle cart. But, not yet


come closer, Malik is done


pay calling him, “Ngapain lo to


there's? Want wrap?”


Magnolia shook. He showed me money


thousands in his hands as a sign that he


also want to pay. But Malik said


if he paid for everything and


they just stay out from the bottom


tents. Malik even held an umbrella


Magnolia and hand it over so girl


its direction.


Without much more to say, Magnolia accepted


the umbrella gave Malik and them both


walk in silence towards the complex


housing where they live.


Can't say much. Can't


many ask. I don't know why I can


soin lo gebetan's. My brain might be stuck


when you choose lo, Magnolia laughs


he remembers in his heart all


the stupidity he made out of a crush


Malik. Right Dimas said, he should


learning is not a crush on a neighbor's child


never looked at him.


Five minutes walk, Malik though not


talk him. Because of that too, Magnolia


those who gave up, chose to look


the neighboring houses next door block


every day he passed on his way to


market place. Almost everyone who lives in


the complex is a civil service, including


papa who had served as an officer


landmass. Back then, when he was a kid, papa


often travel and will


back in a few days


bringing it from that place


he visited although Magnolia did not ask.


"Not to bring it. Yaya prefers


Papa's at home and doesn't need outside service."


He doesn't know that papa used to be


field officers and conduct surveys


various regions are his work,


unlike Aunt Laura, the birth mother


Malik works more inside


chamber.


"Yesia. Yaya.”


A voice sounded in Magnolia's ear


when he looked at his feet


now wearing Malik's big sandals.


He raised his head and found


Dimas ran to meet him


thrashed. The seventeen boy's body


the year was wet with rain and eyes


still blushing. As soon as he faced


with Magnolia still holding


umbrella and wear a jacket belonging to Malik


greatness, Dimas without hesitation embraced


his sister very tightly.


"Dear brother. I'm sorry. I was wrong, I


must punish. But don't run away from home.


Don't stay with me. I promised the same


Papa take care of you."


Magnolia tried to escape from


dimas's embrace now kissed the top


heads repeatedly. Tears of youth


handsome whose face is so similar to


his own face was pouring out profusely and he


rubbing his forehead and cheeks with


affectionately.


"Lo's still feverish, gini-tujan road.


All because I'm stupid."


"Lo what the fuck, anyway?" Magnolia push


dimas face to stay away from the cheeks and


her head. He knew his brother was worried, but,


Dimas does not need to be excessive in


front Malik.


"I bought the medicine.”


Malik showed me the current medicinal plastic


be in his grasp. That thing


makes Magnolia a little surprised. He's right


I forgot about that thing since it was finished


ate earlier. Malik's face looked sour


when showing off the medicine he bought for


Magnolia, to Dimas is proof that he


willing to do that for his best friend.


"Thank you a lot, Bro. If there is no, I


don't know if I can get through tonight or


nah.”


Magnolia is desperate to vomit. Not because


he did not like Dimas' words,


except to imagine his brother with


lovingly say thank you


love for the kindness of Malik, as if


the young man was created by God to always


helping him.


"Go home, yeah, Deck. Warm water bath. I am yang


cook. Abis is eating… "


"He ate it already." Malik cut.


Dimas' face seemed to be grateful


give back to Malik even then


Malik added, "but not abis."


"It's okay. What's important is Yaya


eat, go home. Tomorrow rest. Mammary


which will be sold in the lo.” dressing market


Dimas holds the shoulder of Magnolia. Her face


he looks very sorry and he will


do whatever it takes for her sister to come back.


Dimas doesn't even release the hand link


they were after the three finally walked


towards the house that is one block away


any more.


"He's so nice." Dimas smiled at


Magnolia still looking at the back


Malik walked ahead of him


himself. The compliments he heard were overflowing


from Dimas' mouth made his ears


buzzing.


"Diem, Mommy. Long time you have a crush on him really."


Magnolia shook her head. Headmen


getting sick from trying not to


thinking about how close Malik's relationship is


and Dimas to make something inside


his chest was wounded but not bleeding.


"What the hell, anyway, Dek?" Dimas tried


laugh, but Magnolia only


freeze and try to breathe


correctly when he realized the cold air


suddenly ambushed his body.


"Sir. Deck. Yay…"


Malik heard Dimas's scream


look and throw her umbrella, then


running fast because in the second


similarly, Dimas almost toppled over because


restraining the sudden body of Magnolia is not


be aware.
