When Love Teases

42. Love Teases (2)

Ami noticed two people sitting in the front seat. The handsome young man who was driving was also his older brother, Aul. There was no conversation as long as the car drove down the village road until now it was about to turn to the national road. Make the jolly child fold both hands on the chest with the lips raised. The two eyebrows clutched as if they were thinking of something.

"Big boy, what's his name?! We haven't met you yet. But it was shaman." Ami breaks the silence in a car that smells like coffee latte.

Panji glanced at the little passenger behind him from the rear vision mirror while chuckling. After thinking about the right topic, now the question from Ami gave way.

"I used to be. This beautiful and cute girl is called Rahmi Ramadhania. The youngest of four children. Just call me Ami." With great confidence, Ami introduced herself. Another case of Aul who began to be wary of being a listener. Already know with the nature of the youngest who is smart to make the mode.

Again, the style of getting acquainted with Ami made Panji chuckle. Feel comforted in the midst of the silence and the quiet journey.

"My name is Panji Syahreza. Just call me Panji. What grade does Ami have?"

"Wow his name is good, brother." Ami clapped. "I'm a 6th grade SD otewe to Junior High School to go to school in the boarding school. Kak Panji have been acquainted with Aul tea yet?!" he continued, holding a small pink sling bag that bulged because it contained many THR envelopes.

"Udah acquaintance but do not know whether Aul tea is still in college or already working." Panji turned a glance towards Aul who had not yet squeaked at all during that trip.

"That's it....Dude, let's answer! Don't be shy." Ami pokes Aul's shoulder.

Aul turned his head back with eyes glaring and a small shake. Code so Ami doesn't talk much. But Ami replied just by raising his eyebrows while smiling.

"I'm still in college." Aul answered short.

"Where's college? What prodi?!" The banner looked at. He lowers the speed so that he can not get to the destination quickly.

"On Unsil. Management economics." Aul kept staring straight at the street, occasionally turning to the left side glass to pay attention to the pesawahan and the houses that passed. He was used to acting as necessary towards the newly known man.

"Well that..speak-speak. Don't go in the cinema." Ami chimed while sitting casually folding both hands on the chest. Alternately pay attention to the adults in the front seat, Panji and Aul.

"Ha ha ha---" Panji chuckled. It was only the first time for him to meet such a witty little boy and comedian like Ami.

"Ami, diem!" Aul turned his body back while putting an index finger in front of his lips.

"Sir papa. Your sister is very entertaining." said Panji still leaving a small laugh.

"It's just tea." Panji's defense made Ami feel like she had the upper hand. His smile was triumphant.

"By the way, I can do the same thing. I'm going to continue S2 at Unpad, just semester two."

"Wah fit.means soul mate, sis." Ami snatched in response while holding both thumbs. Making Aul look back again, reprimanding him. Panji chuckles just in response.

"It would be nice if you spoke with Ami. Keep laughing." Panji glanced at the passengers behind him with a carefree face. Follow Ami's slang.

"Ami that loh. Kak Rama aja whose boyfriend Teh Puput until fall in love with me. Love souvenirs, pocket money, leb clothes......"

"Ami---" Aul looked back again. Cutting off the remark of the younger brother while shaking his head and staring intently.

"No more papa, Mi. Shouts of horror." Ami smiled broadly at the defense of the car owner.

"Yes that...Kak Rama also gave Lebaran clothes as my birthday gift. I was born with 17 Ramadhan. Alhamdulillah.sama with nuzul qur'an. Oh keep Kak Rama also love THR, Enin too, Kak Cia too. From Kak Rama the biggest of its contents----"

"MY! Don't mention it either." Aul started reprimanding with an angry tone and a frowning face. Feeling embarrassed by the little sister's sniffle in front of the person she just met.

"Eh, I forgot, sorry. If called later Aul tea can be minjem." Ami, instead of being afraid of the anger of her brother, deliberately responded in a relaxed and joking manner.

Panji chuckles to watch the behavior of the brothers, especially Ami who is now tickling Aul's waist whose face is bent to smile back. Until it does not feel the car has arrived at the destination house

"Sir Panji.thank you for being ushered." Ami said as she reached out to greet. A cheerful bright smile was engraved on his face as he saw cousins his age on the terrace.

"Together, Ami." Panji was impressed when Ami kissed the back of his hand. "Sebantar...This is THR for Ami.gak papa ya do not use envelope." Panji pulled 3 pieces of money 50 thousands from his wallet.

"Alhamdulillah.rejeki son of sholeha. Thanks again, Brother." Ami widened his eyes when he received the new money scented paper money. "Sir Panji, play sometime at home. Meet me with Teh Aul again." continued before closing the car door.

"Come on the hunt ah!" Aul pulled Ami's arm so as not to keep talking. Ask permission to Panji to leave the brother to his uncle first. He also received a bag belonging to Ami who was afraid of missing its contents. Just bagging one envelope for snacks.

Aul soon returned to the car. Panni took off again to Enin's house. "I'm sorry about my sister's attitude, brother. Must be a surprise. He's his son" he said as the car began to run. Feeling bad for Panji.

"I'm even grinning. It must be exciting yes.at home every day rame. Same with me who is an only child. Broken home too. Where to stay alone again in Bandung."

Aul silently watched. In my heart there is a sense of gratitude to have many brothers even though Dad is gone. Despite the usual economic situation.

"So..I'm authorized to play at home?!" The banner looked over at a glance with both corners of the lips interested. Disperse the pensive Aul.

"And Ami was already dead." Aul looked at it. Catching a wide smile rose on the handsome face of that young man named Panji.

...***...

Mami Ratna and Ibu Sekar joined the carpet again after a long four-eye conversation on the back porch. The two sit side by side. Mami Ratna's face was brightly cheerful. Mother Sekar's face looks calm with a thin smile.

"Mommy seems so happy. I think Abis got a cedar." Cia teases her mother who is offering fruits to Puput to be eaten.

"Not get any more arisan. But it's a jackpot." Mami Ratna peels a small but sweet orange bushel. Turning to pay attention to Rama who leaned the body was talking slowly towards Puput. I don't know what's being talked about. But the look on the face of Puput looks serious.

"This again! Can't woy talk whispers when gathered three or more people." Cia rebuked Rama and Puput who were sitting side by side on his side. Throwing the oranges that Rama caught sprightly.

"I told you little boy, he said." Cia smiled mockingly. "I have a priest. Lose the same brother who.." hung up the speech while peeling the tongue. Mocking the older brother who is on a mission launches the latest trick.

"That's a long life. Adit's calling." Cia shrieked in excitement. Not continuing the act of mocking the brother. Aditya's name is on the screen. Excuse me for leaving the group.

It was five in the afternoon still at Enin's house. Mami Ratna held Puput's family back from going home. Only three people remain. Zaky came home half an hour ago because there would be friends coming home.

"Abis magrib will be returning home. We eat together first. Plis yes Bu Sekar!" Pinta Mami Ratna seduces her mother Puput with a parched face. "When you can get together again.I'll go back to Jakarta."

"Alright.but I helped cook. Don't want to just eat." Mother Just gave up. She and Mami Ratna went into the kitchen. Puput and Aul who want to be prevented by Enin.

"Aul same banner please buy Anl** milk** vanilla flavor which size 900 grams. I forgot to leave for no night. Look for a minimarket that opens!"

"Ready, Enin. Let the money come from the banner." The pennant refused the money that the grandmother had paid. He looked at Aul. "Come, Aul. I don't know where to buy it. Where the big size again ask. Must be appropriate."

Aul who was worried, would not want to budge after Enin again voiced asking him to join Panji.

"I'm going to the kitchen, Nin?!" Pinta Puput saw the sister who passed out of the house. He stayed with Rama. Cia hasn't shown up since she got a call from Adit.

"Already..let the elders who are in the kitchen mah." Reject Enin. He was not troubled despite being left behind by a homecoming domestic assistant. Two of his daughters are cooking. There are neighbors who can be called to help with homework.

"Rama, there ask Puput chat outside so as not to be bored!" Enin shook his hand to throw both of them away.

"Mother intentionally?!" Krisna who always accompanied Enin during the open house event until this afternoon, squinted at her in-laws. She is back to being the warm daughter-in-law she used to be. No longer trying to keep your distance.

"They should be given a chance to be close. I see Panji is also interested in Aul. It's good to have a granddaughter-in-law brother and sister." said Enin accompanied by a bright gaze in a happy twinkle. Krisna smiled faintly looking at the face of the in-laws with a cheerful aura.

At dusk sunny weather, a long stretch of mountain forest sawal will present a beautiful and epic panorama. A beautiful curved orange veil over the horizon. Bird flapping****** in white across it. Moving in groups up and down like an acrobatic attraction. Then migrate somewhere else.

"Put, come here. I want to show you a nostalgic place." Rama finished the event staring at the panorama of dusk from the terrace chair. Move to the right side of the house.

"Here he-" Rama pointed to a wooden staircase on which there was a house-building measuring 1.5 m x 1.5 m.

"What place is this, brother?!" Puput stared with curious mimic the building of teak houses as high as nearly 5 meters that looked clean and well maintained.

"When Elementary School I forced Mami to school here. He said besides school, let's be good at teaching as well. If in Jakarta, the school that is close is a non-Muslim private school. Mami is worried about the association if it is not equipped first with religious science."

"I refused to even cry when I got here. My late grandfather persuaded me, promised to be made into a tree house like in the movie My Heart. I finally collapsed. The tree house was completed in 2 weeks. I live here every day. Accompanied by Yuko, a white Persian cat. After graduating from SD, I moved to Jakarta. This tree house is still cared for because I come rarely, if long school holidays. The same Mang Jaja is made into mushola so it is maintained, he said."

Puput listen to the story until the end with focus and attention.

"The tree was cut down, huh?!" sahut Puput. I saw a tree stump behind the stairs.

"Yes, that's an old cherry tree. Before I was born there was. Because it was partially weathered, 10 years ago cut down. Worrying about falling on the house."

"Good, yuk! You will see an amazing view from up there." take Rama who has changed into a casual t-shirt.

Puput. "I'm still wearing a dress. Ribet. Kak Rama was good and had a shower and changed his clothes casually." he refused.

"No papa, I'm holding it." Rama climbed the 5th step first by opening the footwear. Stretching out your hand so that your Puput holds it.

Despite repeatedly refusing, Rama reached out. "Come on, Princess Kirana. Opportunities don't come twice" he said gently and patiently waited nearly 10 minutes.

Pulled eardrums. Hands in greeting. Lead him up because the stairs do not have a handle on either side. Up above, it appears in it the following titled carpet there is a folded prayer mat. The 2-meter-tall building became bright after Rama turned on the lights.

"I often fall asleep here. Waking up is in the room. Not consciously carried by mang Jaja so hard." Rama reminisces about nostalgia.

Puput was still circulating a sweeping view of the entire room. There's a photo of an SD boy hanging in a red-and-white uniform and a slanted tie. Makes laugh.

"What's so funny?!" Rama did not know what was the object that made Puput laugh. Because he opened two windows. Wusss.a cold wind blows into the mini house building.

"That's..apparently boss RPA his childhood geeky." Point Escape towards the frame while giggling.

Rama followed the direction of the Eardrop. Smiling knot.

"Moving here!" Rama's order invites Puput who is still sitting in the doorway.

Puput obeyed Rama's instructions. Sit in front of the right window with both hands folded against the window sill. Rama is next to his can.

"Masyaa Allah is beautiful---" Fart stared in amazement at the sight presented before his eyes. Beautiful green pesawahan and shawal mountain seen from a height.

"Now close your eyes. Feel the wind blowing in your face. Feel the relaxation that comes.

Puput. Silent for 5 minutes.

"Rilex.if Titanic has Jack and Rose. The tree house was Rama and the Princess." the baritone's voice sounded soulful. It felt so close, even a breath of mint hit the left cheek. The mouth felt his blood rustling with both cheeks heating up. Not the calm, but the nervous...
