You, Me And Our Memories

Guests in the morning

"Half eight" Diya shocked spontaneously the girl rose from her bed.

"Why? You didn't pray dawn?" Ask her mother gently.

"Sholat buk, finish praying I sleep again" Marni muttered.

"Oh yeah, get your hair straight. There's a guest who wants to see you"

"Who?" Ask Diya.

"Don't....Oh....No. whoa...." Thought guessing.

"Say parents nak Ferdi" said Marni did not notice the change in her child's face.

"Tu is right....Wahdang...What am I supposed to do?" I thought the girl was still fretting. Seeing her son still dumbfounded, the middle-aged woman said again.

"Let's hurry....Meet your guests. I'll make you a drink" said Marni again straight out of her child's room and into the kitchen.

"duh....How'this? What should I say if they ask about Brother Ferdi?" The girl scratched her non-itchy head.

After tidying her hair and powdering her face even though she had not yet taken a bath, Diya went out to meet her guests who had been waiting for her.

Several times the girl breathed a long breath. His feelings were suddenly not good.

But the girl should be able to behave as calmly as possible in front of Ferdi's parents. With a cautious step Diya came and greeted kindly.

"It's fine, son" though a little heavy he replied.

Diya smiled shockingly then sat down before her guests with a feeling that was truly not pleasing to the heart.

"Sorry son Diya, we came all of a sudden. And we don't know where else to ask about Ferdi. You as a close friend of Ferdi, at least know where Ferdi is" said Agus began his speech.

"Should I be honest with them? Or do I have to lie" The girl is angry. And,

"Sorry om, aunt I really don't know where Brother Ferdi is right now. Yesterday night he called me, but he didn't want to tell me where he was going now" replied the girl stubbornly.

"It's all because of you" Bentak Mira.

"If you hadn't approached my son, none of this would have happened. And remember, if something happens to Ferdi, you're the first one I blame" Threatened the woman was hateful.

"And one more thing, don't you ever come near Ferdi again. If you dare to approach him again. You and your mother are going to be fucked. Understand that" accused Mira again made Diya become wry.

"Ma....It was ma...Patience" Cut Agus calms his wife.

"The fight will not solve the problem. We must be patient and deliberate. By the way it's fine not to yell at Diya like that"

"It's all papa's fault. Papa always defended the boy. Now look....See pa...What Ferdi did to us" Mira cried intently.

"This is all because of Diya, because of this village girl" said Mira rebels want to harm Diya. But Agus quickly held her back. Diya got scared and retreated a few steps back. The girl's face changed.

"If only you hadn't approached Ferdi. My son won't run away from home" Mira sat limp and wept over her fate.
