"Don't tell me you like that girl."
Andreas turned to the side where his mother was already standing in line. His hands restored his hair back with a grimacing smile. She did not avoid it because her mother knew her character.
The narrow-minded young man encapsulated his beloved Mami's shoulder. Walk leisurely away from the place. Without hesitation pour out his heart like speaking to a close friend. "Mommy, even though I used to meet girls every day. Here is aja milling. But that one just had a different charm. The first impression hmm how. Like he's in Bandung..."
Mama chuckles. Swiping the back of the child who took him into the branded clothing store. "Have Mami said that if you like the type of woman like that do not be half-hearted. It must begin with equating the guidelines of life. Anyway, whatever makes you happy, Mami will support. The whole life of his courtship is the same old granny gini." It was accompanied by a whisper. He made her laugh and kissed her hair.
Let the small talk that kept flowing be both of them. A loving mother and child.
This Saaf Puput is overwhelmed fret because there has been no news from Rama. Intentionally during a meal, his phone was placed on the table so he could freely see the screen. But until Duhur prayer continues, the phone or message from overseas numbers do not exist as well.
"Cia, why hasn't Rama sis ngabarin? Time is supposed to come, right?" Puput expressed his grief while standing waiting for Mami who was in the toilet.
"Hmm, maybe go back to the apartment. Relax, Tea. It's gonna be awesome." Cia confidently calmed her sister-in-law down.
"We're still shopping!" Said Mami who approached the two.
"Gaskeun, Mommy. My mother paid for it." Cia chuckled while struggling on Mami's arm which responded by singing her lips. He chuckled and walked on the left.
Not only did Mami treat her two daughters but also bought souvenirs for her and her three younger siblings Puput. Even Puput heard his in-law conversation with his Aunt Ratih who discussed skin care also mentioned the name Kartika. A strange name in his ears.
Time feels fast rolling during enjoying togetherness in the mall. It doesn't feel like it's afternoon. Five o'clock in the afternoon, the three went home with their hands full. When the car half way left the mall, the phone that had been grasped by Puput rang with a video call display from a foreign number country code + 1. A wide smile adorned her beautiful face as she shifted the icon replied with trembling hands.
"Assalamu'alaikum, baby." Rama smiled sweetly.
The heart of Puput pounded fiercely staring at the face he missed it appeared on the screen. Although he looks tired, he still looks handsome.
"Wa'alaikum salam. Alhamdulillah.i waited for news Aa from earlier." Sahut Puput which now looks relieved and crunchy.
"Rama, have you arrived, son?" Mami said cheerfully after hearing the conversation clearly the child and his daughter-in-law. Make Puput direct the screen of his phone towards Mami. Then Cia also spoke from the back seat.
Light chatter flows with everyone involved. Rama told me that he had only arrived at the apartment half an hour ago. The video link did not go on just to tell his wife and family not to worry. He arrived on a smooth and safe journey to his destination. Then promise to call again Puput later tonight New York time.
...***...
The night after eating became quality time three women in the house with modern furniture. Mami invites Puput and Cia to sit together in the library room. Not only a large collection of books that fill the closet made of wood. But also a place to store documents and family photo albums.
"This is a photo album of Rama from birth to large. Mami herself is the one. This is a photo album by Cia. Another family photo."
Puput received three major albums that Mami took from the drawer. Rama's black album was opened with enthusiasm. The first sheet is some photos of the plump baby in some photoshoot poses following his name and date of birth. Funny and adorable. Full of smiles, Faded by him.
The next sheets are the growth of Rama from time to time. Transformation of a handsome face from time to time which turned out Rama had long hair while studying S1. Making the eyes of the puput turn. In this album, there is only the pose of her husband who is riding on a motor sport with a black leather jacket and sunglasses. Tub photo model.
"If I used to be fat when Junior High School Grade 9 to High School, Tea. At school full of bullies. Good thing to have two bodyguards on standby to protect. Brother Rama and Brother Damar." Cia first explained when Puput began to see his chocolate album.
"However, there are always people who are body shaming. Feeling perfect is impeccable. Aul used to be gini when he was fat. Going home often cry and want to change schools."
"For a long time I intercepted in the way of Aul's classmates, there were 2 guys and 1 girl. The 2 guys I gave lessons using the kick style to fall and I threatened to get scared. Since then Aul is safe from bullyan deh." Puput chuckled in memory of the way his protection used to be on his sister. He is known to be tomboyish and fierce.
"Switch this cool sister mah." Cia held up her two thumbs. Amazed.
"Wahhhh did not expect Mami's ghost is a rogue warrior as well. But good, let Rama be afraid if there is a temptation of girls outside. Afraid of getting beat up by his wife." Canda Mami who was greeted with laughter Puput and Cia.
Fajr greet. Puput decided to pray first and continued packing clothes and souvenirs in one suitcase. The white and navy shirt that Rama had worn yesterday, he brought as a longing remedy. At 8 he will leave with Dwi.
The phone stored on the dressing table rang after Puput refreshed the body. Still wrapped in a towel, he saw the name on the screen. A faint smile rang on her lips as the name "My husband" made a video call. He accepted it with a greeting.
"Oh, you're teasing me, Neng!" Rama growled, squeezing his hair after answering his wife's greeting. With tongue licking lips.
Puput chuckles. "I just took a shower. If you can't wait, I'll wear clothes first." She had the intention of flirting with her husband.
"No. I love this view." Rama went up to the bed. "I'm jet lag, baby. From earlier clean-up the goods intentionally let drowsiness. But can't sleep until now. It's only 10 in the night."
Puput stared inside, that less fresh face. "What do I do to help her get some sleep?"
"Open your towel!"
"Well?!"
"Don't go that way, Neng. I want to be nyium." Rama looks very anxious himself. Lip bite.
Make the puput quickly fold the lips with the blushed face.
"I want to see the fruit. The door to the room is locked, isn't it, baby?" Rama's voice was heavy in the damba. Even his sharp look turned soft.
Puput. "The door in the lock. But I'm ashamed ah open the towel. Who's in the same apartment?"
"Same, Neng. I live alone. Ben lives at Jo's house. Come on baby, let it be a sleeping pill." Rama is back. Ask the towel that shows the cleavage is removed.
Puput. The next thing that was heard were only de sahan voices and moans. Rama worked alone, satisfying himself in his way.
...***...
"Sorry, late. A' Rama just turned vicall. I said yes to Aa." Tidying Up when joining Mami and Cia at the dinner table. Meresa was not good because she just came out of the room. And they're done with breakfast.
"No papa. The newlyweds are natural." Mommy's words are relaxed. But managed to make the face of the puput blush.
Puput disguises by looking down while scooping the rice he just picked up. Either Mami knows the version of the kangen-kenan that just happened. Which made Rama droop and close his eyes. So that she broke the connection because her husband seemed to have managed to sleep and faintly heard soft snoring.
At eight, Damar came with Dwi who had been assigned to be Puput's assistant.
"Teh, this is a deposit from Rama for Aul he said."
Puput received with a shocked face at once confused. White box with the inscription Macbook Pro with the logo of the apple is now fortified. He looked at Damar. His eyes asked for an explanation .
"Before Rama flew call tell me to buy this for Aul. Let the college work be good." Damar seemed to understand the meaning of the gaze of Puput.
"Owh, yes." Sahut Puput brief. Still curious actually. Because Rama did not discuss at all would give a gift macbook for Aul. What might be afraid of being banned because this price is the same as one unit of NMax motor. Her husband was only reminded to accompany Zaki to choose a sport bike as promised.
Pamit to everyone and do not forget to send greetings to Papi Krishna who will only arrive later in the afternoon, Puput left the luxurious house accompanied by Dwi. Doni became a driver who was believed to drive Alphard to Ciamis.
