You're Not the First

Basofi stared at the triangular cloth that Sofiyah threw and fell right on her face. His eyes twitched in disbelief. How could he get such an unexpected bonus. It was as if Sofiyah had surrendered herself to him willingly.

Not stopping there he instead sniffed around looking for other scents Sofiyah might still be left but only the smell of clothes washer smell that smelled on her nose.

You crazy man doesn't know himself whose mind is never far from that.

He also tried to fold the cloth into a roll as before but could not be as well. Finally he gave up and put the important cloth Sofiyah carelessly in the first box and immediately closed it.

The tall man immediately dressed fully and then threw the towel he was wearing just like that on the mattress. He pursed his lips repeatedly not knowing what was in his perverted brain.

In the living room there were already three people sitting in a circle with food arranged in the middle of them. There is whole roasted chicken in a large besek, lalapan, sambal and six rice boxes complete with side dishes. Also some drinks in plastic glass packaging with various flavors.

Basofi stared dislikefully at the teenage boy who was sitting there, unfortunately he could not show it clearly as usual because there was a prospective in-law who was now also sitting with him.

" Come on ko....! Mama is hungry.... Koko ordered a lot of food. Didn't you?" The middle-aged woman said as she began to pick up the dishes and move the rice and grilled chicken from the rice box into her plate.

Their habit if eating prefers to use a plate rather than directly eating from a dining box made of cardboard.

Basofi who was already hungry immediately took the plate and did the same with his future father-in-law. The two of them were seen eating voraciously especially the woman called mami by the three. A few days of grief made his appetite disappear and today he felt happy accompanied by three young people who were like family so he could eat with greed. He even forgot about the incident he had just seen in his only daughter's room.

Sofiya and Daniel did not seem too excited and it did not escape the observation of Basofi.

"Don't Daniel like Fiah's noodles huh?" asked the middle-aged woman while smiling kindly.

"We have the same taste Fiah...." Daniel said as he widened his smile to look at the girl who was eating slowly, not because of looking for face but because it was not tasteful.

The demon soul of Basofi was ignited by an invisible flame. Jealous because it turns out Fiah and his sister's likes are the same. But again he could not act arbitrarily because the prospective in-laws were nearby. He had to suppress his ego as much as possible so as not to spill it on Daniel and Sofiyah right now.

"Awhile yeah... " Mommy said as she stood up.

"Mommy wants to take what, let Fiah take it..." Sofiyah was ready to stand up but my mom pushed her shoulders slowly to keep her sitting.

"Have... You just eat! You must be hungry, just got home from work...!" Said the mother then passed inside towards her small kitchen.

"When we go find bakmi. Do you want?" Daniel asked as he watched the white-eyed girl.

"It's polite to you that same cece!". Basofi suppressed his voice while staring intently at Daniel who turned his head lazily not wanting to respond to his brother.

Sofiyah who felt no face because of her innocence to Basofi was just silently looking down did not react anything. It was precisely misinterpreted by a handsome man who was overheated because of being attacked by jealousy as approval.

The arrival of Aya's mother stopped the actions of Basofi who wanted to intimidate the two.

"Wal... its delicious.." Daniel immediately took the plate containing the noodles with happy sparkling eyes. He was about to share it with Sofiyah but the girl refused him on the grounds that he was full.

The little girl's eyes started to tear up. Mi is the favorite food of papi and himself like most other Chinese descendants. He remembered how the two of them always wrestled noodles with chopsticks. And strangely before he left the papi even gave a plate of noodles made by mami to him.

"Wild growing up to be a beautiful child who boasts mami and papi." Said papi in the remnants of his age.

Sofiyah looked away while wiping her tears so that the woman sitting next to her did not know if she was crying because she remembered the papi they loved.

"Mami pray Ashar first yes." said mami after finishing her meal.

" Koko didn't pray yet, did she?" Ask Sofiyah in front of her mom so that Basofi can not dodge and want to pray even though forced.

"Therefore "His reply was forced because there was nothing on his agenda to perform the Ashar prayer. His plan was that he would only pray Maghrib and Isya' congregate later.

After finishing eating the big tall man was forced to step foot into the mosque which is now still filled with worshipers. Actually, he was very unwilling to leave Sofiyah with his sister. Jealousy crawled his chest. It was like burning paper.

"What do you want here? Go home to your mom's house there!" Basofi said sniffling while walking out

" You mind Fiah?" Daniel asked Sofiyah when Basofi was out of the house.

" No " Answer Sofiyah briefly.

After the prayer Ashar Babas did not immediately return to the house of Sofiyah because he wanted to listen to the questions and answers that were taking place in the mosque. There is little sense of wanting to deepen religion but it is still vague.

As Maghrib prayers for children filled the mosque to teach. Basofi watched them. Whether he should start learning to teach and make friends with children like them. At first glance he knew that he didn't even know anything. Maybe he is parallel to children who are five years old who have just learned to recognize the Hijaiyah letters and their voices some of them are still slurred.

A few moments after that he returned to the residence of Sofiyah and it coincided with the arrival of his mother.

Her mother was seen rushing into the residence of Sofiyah to the point of not greeting her.

"Sin...!! Why are you still here? your mama's sick nyo!!" The woman immediately scolded Basofi's sister forgetting that it was not their residence.

"Is there a papa, right?" Ask Daniel with his face.

" He's looking for you. He misses you nyo!!"

Sofiya and her mother who heard it just gawked not knowing what really happened.
