Puput judged, Dwi was fun to talk to. Not rigid, looks supple and independent. Hm, there is a similarity of nature to it. Rama must not carelessly select a prospective assistant for him. However, his assistant was still formal in calling. Though Puput has asked not to call "Bu", just call "Teh" to be more familiar. Because he also called Dwi "Mbak". More fun that way.
"Sorry, Mom. Although the age is below me, but Miss My superior daughter, and also his wife Mr. CEO Rama." Dwi smiled politely giving a refusal. Make the puput shrug. Resignedly.
The old journey becomes not felt because of the presence of a talking friend. Only three times stop resting for meals and prayers. Now we have entered the Ciawi area. The phone is ringing. Phone from Mom.
"Teeeh, where are you?"
Thinking that Mother was calling, it turned out that Ami's voice asked excitedly. Make him keep the phone away because his voice is deafening the ear.
"Ciawis. Just wait until."
"Aseeks. I picked up Teteh on the terrace! Babayyys!"
The phone was cut off unilaterally. Puput only bobble the head. "That's really a pick-up on the porch," he decaknya but with a smile dikulum.
"Who, Princess Ma'am? Uh, sorry to be a kepo." Dwi rectified her own words by clenching her hands. He felt comfortable talking to Puput.
Soup smile. "My sister. There are three of them. The youngest just got into position. Uh, said he'd pick her up on the porch."
Dwi giggles at feeling funny. "Looks like Princess Miss family came and exclaimed huh? If I were three brothers. I'm the middle one, the only girl. All married and separated but still in Jakarta."
Puput listening while mangosteen. "How many sons does Dwi have?"
"Not yet, Mom." Dwi is calm. "I got married at 29, husband 32. Dating 5 years but an LDR. We have the same principle, first helping the family economy until it can be independent. We have decided to get married."
Unasked, Dwi explained. Puput greeted him enthusiastically. Interested in the life story that is delivered without regret.
"The marriage is still an ldr again." Dwi chuckles. "This time we are patient apart because again saving for the future. Maybe because we only met Saturday, so the effort to have children has not succeeded. So when Mr. Damar offered a job offer at the Ciamis branch, I did not think twice. Directly assented. It's a way for me to see my husband every night." With a blushed face.
Toggle smiling knot. "Tomorrow no one will know yes, ma'am. Mysteries. But always get wisdom. Like me who just made it a month with Mr. Rama. Uh, she's getting married. My marriage goal is 27 - 28. Wait for my sister number 2 to graduate from college and be independent. Let's calm down if I'm taken away by my husband. God's scenario is different. God knows best for his servants."
Dwi nodded strongly as a form of agreeing with Puput's sentence.
This is the last conversation because the car stopped in front of the house. Tuput smiled broadly at some parked cars and motorcycles that were visitors to Mother Dapoer. Also seen Ami and Zaky who rushed to his car.
"Sir Doni, where did this go?" Puput has not come down even though the door is automatically open.
"I continue to take Mbak Dwi, continue to rest at the house of Sepuh Mother. Tomorrow dawn just back to Jakarta, Neng." Follow the driver politely.
Puput. Only then down after it is confirmed the driver will stay at Enin's house.
Zaky carries Puput's suitcase. While Ami was part of carrying paper bags for food. Puput invites Dwi to rest first at his home. But his assistant, who had only signed in to deliver the macbook, politely declined.
"Sir, thank you!" Puput tucked money into the hands of the driver who would leave.
"Don't, Neng. I've been paid and given money to eat." Doni wants to return the money. But Puput shook his hand.
"That's Mr. Doni's windfall."
...***...
"Thank God, Macbook. Oh my God.What a dream last night." Aul prancing around like a child was so happy. Hugging the sister full of drama. Making Puput clap his arm because it's choking.
Everyone gathered in the middle room. Excitedly hunting souvenirs Mami Ratna issued by Puput from the suitcase. Just a quiet mom.
"Because Aul didn't ask?" Puput wants to convince once again the truth of Aul's story.
"Oh my God, it's like I'm on a college campus with a macbook. The other laptop." Continue while hugging the apple logo with joy.
"Tea, Aa Zaky on love bike, Teh Aul loved macbook. I'm what?" Ami protests while her mouth full of strawberry pancakes. By the soft and the soft.
"According to age and needs, Ami. Because Ami can already have his own hape, this is a former teteh for Ami. It's still new.kan buy it first with Ami." Obviously Fuck up while handing over his old phone.
"Yes. I can...." Ami accepted it with a carefree face.
"Mi...tukeran same hape Aa huh? Donated 100 thousand deh to buy the same starter card quota." Zaky tried to seduce.
Ami shrugged his shoulders. "Hape Aa mah siomay is not cool. This mending dong..samsul." he proudly hugged the phone in the chest.
Puput had informed Rama and Mami if he had arrived in Ciamis.
Later that night, he entered the room of Mother who was holding a prayer beads waiting for the time of the Adhan isya. Sit on the carpet next to Mom.
"What's up, Tea?" Mom stopped her dhikr. Staring at the firstborn who seemed to have a need.
"Mom, Brother Rama gives monthly allowance for Mother 5 million. I'll transfer to Mom every one of the dates. Then tomorrow starts to give. He said it was special Mom. If for the cost of another school, there is another budget. Said A' Rama his expenditure is unlimited as needed." Kauber Puput.
Mom was silent for a moment. And Puput stared waiting for an answer.
"Gini aja's. I accept your husband's gift. But for school fees, I won't ask. I want to use that 5 million dollars. I don't want to be mumpung. So, just be thankful. Rama has been very kind to give attention to your brothers. Mom's happy amazing. God willing from the turnover of rice stalls can also be for the cost of sekola. Smart consumers who buy onlen. Thank God the turnover always goes up."
The puput nodded in accordance with Mother's decision. Summarize the shoulders full of love. "Mom said less. My present salary, Alhamdulillah, goes up to three times."
Say hello Sunday morning. The busyness and aroma of cooking emanates from the kitchen of the rice stall into the house. As of this morning there have been no more video calls from Rama. Just texted each other last night.
"New bride....I miss you." Via hugged Puput cheerfully. He came with a frenzy because asked Puput come.
"Bakpia, there's good news for you." Puput invites sitting on the living room sofa.
"What the hell.don't get in the habit of making me curious." Via stared at Puput impatiently.
"Me and Aa want to give you a gift for your wedding worth 10 million. You said you wanted what?"
Via suddenly stood up from his chest by holding his chest.
Duarrr.
Being soared was shocked the second time because of hearing a tire explosion that felt close in front of the house. The same with Puput looking from the window. Right, a black car stopped in front of the fence.
"Eh buset, very cute. Erroneous. Oh, God, so cute and a guy." Via excited himself stared from behind the window of the black-shirted man who came out of the car.
"Get eyes, Bakpia! Marry woy!" Keeper punches softly on Via's shoulder.
"Ah you are the same. Why do you keep eating, Snail? Watch woy's eyes! My husband's parents are in Mamang Sam! " Via counterattacked by noticing the expression on her best friend's face that was suddenly as comfortable as a smile.
"I'm mah ngeliatin anu, tuh.." said Puput. Make Via look forward again.
