When Love Teases
57. Welcome to Monday
The youngest Ami was in his second brother's room. What else if not to borrow a cell phone. Mumpung his brother was in the kitchen washing dirty dishes used for lunch together. Mother's cell phone is actually also just as annoying just because the quota runs out.
Her favorite game is Baby's Panda Adventure, which is already installed on her three sisters' phones. So want to borrow a cell phone has anyone to play.
"Argh, just interrupt!" Ami clicked disappointed because the game was stopped by the incoming call. But then switch giggling to read the name that appears on the screen that he thinks is funny. Pinocchio.
Ami replied with a greeting.
"Vaalaikumsalam. It's with Aul, right?!" The male voice over there sounded a little hesitant, wanting to be sure. Probably because of the voices of the children.
"No, Brother. This is the same Ami his sister Teh Aul who is beautiful and cute but not amit-amit. Her Aul tea again in the kitchen." Cerocos Ami as usual with her narcissistic style. So the caller laughed.
"Oh Ami turns out...How are you? Big brother is kangen with this little boy."
"Sister Pinocchio have you ever met me? When is it, brother?" Ami frowned in wonder. Trying to remember.
"Ami called what? Pinocchio? It's the same with Panji. Ami can't help Ami calling me Pinocchio." The caller who turned out Panji was shocked and sighed disappointed.
"Whatttt? This is Panji Enin? Brother Panji who gives THR 150 thousand to me?" Ami's turn was shocked. Especially after Panji answered yes.
"Wad. Aul save tea is called Pinocchio nih Kak. I laughed and read his name. Must be every sister lying her nose extends dong. Ahahaha-"
"Enak. Ih Ami really ngetawain. Emang name Bad Panji ya sampe replaced Pinocchio everything." said Panji with a slightly upset tone.
"No. Name Kak Panji cool. As cool as anyone. If I had all of Aul's tea, I would have shot him. Ciyus the Brother." There was a nudity from there who felt flattered because he was praised and amused by the adult's pretentious speech.
"Well, long life. The guy's coming, brother." Ami stared at the open door of the room. Where Aul came over with both eyebrows raised.
"Teh, it's a phone from PINOCCHIO." Ami handed over the phone while giggling. Moreover, seeing the reaction of his second brother who was gaping and glaring because of shock and panic.
"I want to go out ah afraid of being counted as conspicuous . Tuh Kak Panji is angry because his name is Pinocchio." continued Ami as he went down from the bed. Going out of the room is still giggling because Aul keeps going ouch.
Aul's face grimaced wrongly with his hand holding the phone but not yet affixed to his ear. Regretting, why pasanji call lifted by Ami whose mouth likes to leak.
"Hallo, Brother Panji-" Fearfully Aul greeted. "How are you, brother?" he continued, stale, when awaited by law but there was no vote.
"Originally healthy. But now heartache." Sahut Panji with a flat tone.
"Hmm, Brother Panji has a stomach ulcer probably. Is there nausea?!" Aul takes Panji's words seriously. Which is even answered by a speech.
"It's not because of stomach ulcers but because you called me Pinocchio. But I've been talking about this I've been pending. Next time we should meet! You owe me an explanation!" Firmly the banner that made Aul complain without a sound. But no chance to explain.
"I called you to Mother. The Gini....Enin will follow Om Krisna to Jakarta. Maybe you already know about Cia's problem?"
Aul said yes. Because Puput just told me in front of Mom.
"So Mother is home alone. ART starts working again tomorrow afternoon. Mommy said can you be the same Ami nemenin this night? Alone at home there are no friends talking and Mother is also a coward." Panji explains in detail. It is impossible from Bandung to return to Ciamis. Also tell the plan tomorrow morning will follow to Jakarta.
"Can, Brother. What time do I leave for Enin's?!" Aul approves. Plus Aunt Ratih is also a kind and friendly person like Enin.
"Mother will pick you up from the boutique. After this I will share your number with Mother. Let Mother continue communication."
"OK, Brother." said Aul briefly.
"Thank You Aul. Don't forget next time we are in dinner! Pinocchio needs an explanation from you."
"That's what. I'm clear now. Gini----"
"Assalamu'alaikum." The banner cut Aul's speech. First end the phone call.
"Waduh. Pinocchio's going to dinner!" Aul muttered while grimacing and patting the eel.
Ami is mah.
Aul grumbled in his heart. Dropping his back on his soft mattress with frowning lips.
Before the magrib, Ratih picks up Aul and Ami. After previously telling to get ready. Ibu Sekar had detained the owner of the Sundari boutique to want to eat dinner at his home.
"Sorry Mom, not unwilling. But I have bought boxed rice to eat three. Another time, yeah." Ratih refused subtly because he had already bought food. Not long immediately say goodbye to Mother Sekar and Puput.
"Aunt Ratih, which room did I and my bedstead sleep in?!" ami asked as soon as she reached Enin's house. That instantly got a small pinch and a sharp gaze from Aul. Made Ami fold her lips.
"And one more. Don't call Auntie, call Mother! Just like the banner." Ratih noticed Aul's reaction which was just a small nod. Unlike Ami who sparkles and pays respect.
"Bi uh Mommy, may be in another room just not in Kak Panji's room?! What if Kak Panji complains?" Aul was uncomfortable. Especially after being caught saving the number of the banner with the name Pinocchio.
"The banner itself told me. Ayok ah adzan nih." Ratih encapsulates Aul and Ami's shoulders, ushering up Panji's front door. Not giving Aul a chance that seemed to want to argue.
Entering the room, Ami was interested in dropping onto a queen size bed wrapped in abstract blue sheets. Merrily feel the soft springbed is different from the existing home.
Aul is more interested in observing a row of frames attached to one wall. Small to adult pennants are framed in black frames of different sizes. Make the corners of his lips interested.
"Tea let's pray! Even see the photo Pinocchio eh Kak Panji." Ami knew that he was standing next to Aul who was shocked because he was focusing on looking at Panji's handsome face while wearing S1 graduation toga.
"Not to mention Pinocchio again. Later it sounds Mother, it's bad." Sahut Aul said slowly.
"Misleadingly. Why are the bulls called Pinocchio?!" Ami blamed. Roll up your sleeves until your elbow, get ready for the bathroom.
"There's history. Diem is a child mah do not kepo. Now it's been changed to Kak Panji." Aul closed the chat by preparing also to take ablution. Tonight for the first time to sleep in Enin's house. With food and fruits from the Bundanya Panji are all delicious. Not to forget there is one honey donut dus proposed by Panji, to please the jolly boy Ami.

This week, the construction of the rice stall building. Starting with dismantling the wall of the right pillar as access in and out. Four builders were hired so that the 2-week target could be completed. Puput encapsulates the shoulder of the Mother who watched from the window with a crisp face. Even though he had to take off his favorite bike, it did not make him sad. What is important is that one of the ideals provides the feasibility of the mother's culinary business is carried out.
"Teh, if you say the same Kak Rama must be given free all building materials. No need to buy a gini." Zaky handed over a memorandum of purchase of sand and stones that had just been dropped by the roadside. Requesting money.
"Hus ah. Teteh do not want to mumpung aji. Later if Kak Rama has a call, do not say again wake up. Watch out!" There is also a lesson Rama returned to Jakarta. Maybe what Zaky said was right. Although the RPA store is only open from tomorrow, Rama will probably contact Hendra's manager to take care of all the building materials needs. The fat is not at all. He wants to be independent with the budget he has prepared. Buy temporarily for today's needs from a building store close to his home.
"Have you heard from Rama?!" I opened my voice after Zaky left with some money to pay for the stone and sand notes.
"Last night, I arrived home at 9. There is no one yet." Sahut Puput while noting in the book every purchase. It started yesterday.
The house feels lonely without the centil Ami who is still in Enin's house with Aul. Focused eavesdropping attention to the laptop screen. Observe the design of the banner that Zaky made for the name of the rice stall later. Both discussions were relaxed for the concept of color and other details. Mom just listened. Give all marketing techniques to his children who certainly better understand the development of the present era.
Welcome to monday. Beginning of work and school days. It was a busy morning for the whole house. Ami who first left school using ojol because the distance of her elementary school became far after moving house. This won't take long. Less than a month until the farewell. Following Zaky also Aul departs on their respective motorcycles. While Puput waiting for the invitation Via which of course every depart will pass his house.
The feeling of kangen hit after 8 days of vacation together. Now reunited with fellow RPA employees who almost simultaneously arrived at the early hours. Admin group "Forum Kubes RPA" has announced if the inaugural entry into work at 7.15 WIB because it will be held halal bihalal first.
"Ngee....Put, new appearance. More geulis euy!" In the parking lot, Andi did not expect if the piggyback Via is Puput. After opening the helmet was immediately stunned by the appearance of Puput who was now hijab.
"So usually don't stumble. There's laler tuh." Puput. It's common for fellow boys to adore muji herself. Not put into the heart.
"So there's a new employee. I was getting acquaintances." The turn of Cepi who joined approached. Even his lips whistled as a form of praise.
"On the lebay very lo on. Job job job noh." Via interrupted. Appoint some employees who have gathered on the track road ahead of the mosque. Reminds you of the task of Andi and Cepi to prepare the sound system.
Andi and Cepi passed. The cell phone in the bag is ringing. They hit it quickly.
"Sin.uhuyyyy. Bede nih who called must be ayang who again missed because of ldr an." Via mocked by flicking his lips looking at the smiley mouth while staring at the phone screen.
"Kowe ki jo meri karo me (you don't envy me)." Puput squeaks and goes away looking for a safe place from people. No announcement of the event will begin yet. Although Mr. Hendra's car has come and parked in the usual place.
"Assalamu'alakum, Mr. Boss!" Puput greets by throwing jokes. It is undeniable that his heart is carefree because yesterday there was no phone or chat. Not the answer to the greeting heard from there. But the grunt seemed annoyed and resentful.
"Once again you call me that, I kidnap ya! To be taken to KUA." Rama's voice sounded angry.
"This one is in the office. Must be professional dong me. His calling time is ayang--" The puput caved by slowing down the sound. Afraid to hear people.
"noted. I like that call. Let's repeat the greeting. I'll answer you later." Rama in bossy style.
"Ihhh--no ah!" The pupils were shocked and panicked from being in the position of the weapon eating master. Making some passers-by turn their heads because of his raised voice.
