Rama knocked on the door of the house that looked lonely outside, accompanied by a greeting. Cia stood behind him watching the red guava tree that was bearing fruit. There is no truth from within. But from the outside sounded the cheerful hum of a child. Making Rama and Cia turn to the origin of the voice.
"This must be Rahmi huh?!" Cia guessed with sparkling eyes as soon as the girl in light blue uniform with the matching color veil came closer. It is a religious school uniform or madrassa. He knew the names of his sister Puput from the brother who had memorized it outside the head.
Yang was asked to nod his head and pay attention to the guest standing in front of that door.
"I'm Brother Cia.this is Brother Rama. Two days ago I was here. Remember not?!" Cia who saw Rahmi was still silent and kept staring.
Again nod as an answer given by Ami. This time accompanied by a big smile with sparkling eyes.
"Brother's girlfriend is Tea Fee, right?!" Ami guessed confidently.
Making Cia gawk and widen her eyes to look at Ami, turning to look at her brother who was clearly holding a smile.
"Kok Rahmi can nebak that anyway?!" Cia who was even excited and excited to hear the reason his youngest sister Puput.
"Soalnya yesterday brought a lot of souvenirs for Tah Teh Puput. Tell me if there is a guy bring a lot of souvenirs for Teteh it must be his girlfriend. During this time the guy who visited Teteh most brought martabak or meatballs, sometimes not bring anything. They must be just them."
"Oh that's it...ha ha ha--" Cia laughed off. Feeling entertained by Ami's innocent mindset in making conclusions. Back glancing at his brother, Rama who was still in the same fashion with both hands put in his pants pocket. Not to argue nor to agree. But, uh, now his nose looks like fireworks.
"But this hour hasn't come home yet, Brother." Continue Ami while lowering the bag he carried switched to the tile. Prepare to get inside the house.
"Sir papa. Brother wants to see Mom. His mother is there, right?!" This time Rama began to make a sound while watching Ami's face flushed and sweaty. It looks like coming home from school on foot.
"Mother exists. I'll be in in in a moment from behind. Wait here!" Ami passed half a run through the 1.5-meter wide side yard lined with garden grass and there are ornamental plants lined along the side of the house wall. It is a path to the backyard and kitchen door.
Abandoned by Ami, Cia deliberately brought her face closer to her face. Seeing goals. "Diamine in the heart, yes?!" she said with a seductive mimic.
"Sokay know!" Rama touched his brother's forehead. His face was still as calm as possible. But undeniably in his chest feels warm.
No need to wait long, the sound of a key being played and the door was opened. The figure of his mother Puput appeared with a smile and was friendly. Reply to the greeting of Rama and Cia and invite the guest in.
"Please sit down first Neng Cia the same...." Ibu Sekar hung a speech because he forgot his sister's name Cia.
"Rama, Mum. Call Rama. Don't Den Rama or Cep Rama yes, Mom!" Rama first rejected the call with frills as is usually done by domestic assistants either in Jakarta or at the house of Enin. He wanted to establish a more familial relationship with his mother Puput it.
Ibu Sekar chuckled. "All right, Rama."
"Well, if this is the case I'm like Mom's son." Rama smiled brightly. He ignored the pinch of Cia's hand behind his back. You know, if the sister is teasing him.
Again Mother Chuckles. " The pepes are ready. The sweet sour shrimp just ripened is still hot. Wait a minute not yet entered the cup."
Rama prevents Mother Sekar who will move. Ask him to sit down again. "It's easy, anyways I want to talk to Mom first."
From the direction of the middle room appeared Aul carrying a tray containing three glasses of warm tea. Keep it on the table with a friendly smile. Then greet the two guests. She was with Mom in the kitchen when Ami excitedly told her there was her boyfriend Teh Puput in front. Ami came after changing clothes and also sat in his mother's arms.
"It's his sister's a slur, too, Mom?!" Cia looked closely at Aul's face. Mother Sekar's daughters are all beautiful. Kentara's beauty heritage came down from her mother who had a clean white face with minimal wrinkles.
"Yes. Puput has three sisters. Two women, one man." Then Ibu Sekar mentioned the names of his children.
"If Zaky is again in the backyard. Make crafts again." Pungkas Ibu Sekar's.
"Aa Zaky jago makes miniature of wood. Now there's a miniature sports car order." Ami proudly tells the expertise of her brother.
"Well, so curious to see. Mom, can I go back?" Cia asked for permission. As well as giving way to her brother to freely speak four eyes with Ibu Sekar.
"Of course I can." Mother told Aul to accompany Cia to the backyard. And Ami followed.
"Oh, someone forgot for a moment." Cia stopped her steps and turned around.
"Rahmi, brother bring souvenirs for everything. Help bring yuk! Still in the car."
Ami eagerly followed Cia's steps asking for the car keys from Rama's hands. As soon as the car door opened, his eyes widened perfectly seeing the large number of food bags filling the middle seat.
"Hemmm, smell the pizza, brother." Ami's nose sniffed. The smell of pizza from famous brands, fragrant tempting to taste.
In the living room.
"Mom, I wanted to tell you about Puput before." Rama noticed the look on Mother Sekar's face that was seriously staring and listening to her words.
"I just found out if Puput works at RPA. That means me and Puput co-worker." Rama did not introduce himself as an RPA owner. Let Mother Sekar know for herself from Puput.
Ibu Sekar widened his eyes. Surprised and happy to hear it. But then frowned at the astonished sign. "But why don't you know each other?!"
"If I work in the center, in Jakarta. Just stayed here a few days. Looking at Enin as well as the task of visiting the Ciamis branch. I met Puput at the new office this morning." Clearly Rama who made Mother Sekar nodded in understanding.
"Rama is married?!" I switched to asking personal questions.
"Not yet, Mom."
Why be so stubborn. Ma Sekar means what?!
Rama hopes anxiously waiting for the continuation of Bu Sekar's speech.
If you want to mate with Kuput, with pleasure, Mom.
"Eh, please drink first! The cold rush of tea. The cake is also tasted!" Bu Sekar switched to offer dishes on the table, tea drinks and a plate of legit.
"Thank you, Mom." In Rama's heart he laughed. Thought there would be a continuation of the question about the status. Again his expedition concerning the puput is too high. The jasmine tea was stirred several times.
...***...
Puput got home before magrib. Putting his favorite motorbike into the garage. I was curious to see the main door open. I thought there were guests inside.
Enter while saying hello, but no one in the living room. Sahutan compact sounding from the family room. There Mom and her three sisters sitting on the carpet unpacking the contents of each bag of white crackles.
"God....who does the shopping?! Many are eager for a celebration." Puput joined sitting please beside Ami. There is a pizza box that is wide open and has been lost in some slices. Seeing Ami who bit the pizza full of expression when melted mozarela cheese licked, he was interested in taking one piece. One moment his stomach began to orchestrate when he smelled the fragrant aroma of the pizza.
"Yeah....He came home 5 minutes late. Just come home---" Aul regretted. Actually, the brother came home at regular hours. Only the guest who rushed home on the grounds of pepes order has been awaited Enin. Although you could say the guest was long enough to be at home chatting casually with everyone at home with great fun.
"Oh, I have a guest?! Who?!" Puput added sauce to the surface of the pizza that had been bitten half. Spicy sauce adds to the appetite to eat pizza voraciously and quickly.
"The Teteenth did not know. If the guest who brought a souvenir means what hayoh?!" Ami wiggled her index finger in front of the face of the Frog. He thought his brother was pretending not to know.
"Idid guess. Who the hell is it, Mom?!" Puput glared, turning to look at his mother. Curiosity is growing.
"So Kak Rama and Kak Cia. It's been a long time playing here. Miniature made I also had time in the same photos Kak Cia. He said he'd help with the promotion." Zaky represented answering. He had finished 5 grains of oranges while sitting together. There are dragons, grapes, apples, untouched. There are so many hands that the guest carries. More than the first arrival.
Make your ears swallow pizza that has melted in the mouth. Astounded.
"Devil's girlfriend is really good. Taraaaa. I am loved by this Brother Rama." Ami stood up and took out two pieces of money from President Soekarno's pocket. No one knew when the money was tucked into his pocket.
"Son Rama said that good test scores will be given prizes. Iyes!!!" Ami clenched his hands and punched the air excitedly.
Surprise - The puput doubled. Now his mouth is open.
"Thank God it turns out Teteh with Rama work in the same place. Mother was surprised but she was horrified. Rama said that from tomorrow he will often work with Teteh before returning to the center."
The words of the Mother made the puput surprised many times. Not only was his mouth gaping, but his eyes were bulging as if he was about to jump. Pizza that has melted in the mouth slowly flows into the throat and enters part of the nasal cavity. As a result he choked and coughed until it spurted about Ami's clothes.
"Ihhh.si Teteh mah sloven!" Ami shouted out in protest as she wagged the clothes splashed with pizza porridge from her brother's mouth.
"Aer.aer...uhuk-uhuk---" The puput asked to drink towards Aul while coughing. The spicy taste of the sauce fills the nose. To the point that his eyes water.
"Hadeuh..kaget until the end of the Denger Ayang comes!" Zaky purposely fished in the standby position of the horses. Puput Tea usually does not hesitate to attack him with a fight even though it is not serious to hurt.
The estimate did not miss. After sipping a glass of water to the end, his eldest brother stared intently as if he was about to prey. In a split second a chase is inevitable. Zaky ran around laughing and dodged the brother's attack until he got out of the house and climbed a guava tree quickly. A safe place because the older brother couldn't go up. Trauma up the tree because when the age of Ami never fell face down on the ground until his forehead got a lot of stitches.
Mother only let out a long sigh and the head gales saw Aul and Ami instead cheered the behavior of his two brothers.
