From Brother to Mother (Om Dik )
Disappeared
Week pass.
After Delia went to the KKN place to carry out fieldwork, the atmosphere of the house felt so quiet and silent. Everyone seemed to miss Delia's laughter and jokes for a few days, which was especially the taste and specialness of her Delia cuisine that made everyone long for her delicacy.
Luckily Misha could understand, although every night she asked her father was when Delia came home and Dika always answered.
" Let's wait, dear, Mama is on college assignments, soon Mama must be home "that's all she can tell her little daughter.
Somehow the whole house is increasingly dependent on the girl including herself, so if Delia is not home, then the silence will be more pronounced. Maybe because Delia was a kind and sincere woman.
I miss Delia, too, son, just that you won't be able to see her..
Dika batin, while stroking the long hair of her little daughter, until unconsciously her little daughter had fallen asleep in her lap.
Dika slowly lifted the tiny body and moved it to the bedroom. After laying Misha in a comfortable place, Dika did not forget to cover the body of her little girl with a thick blanket, then after that Dika kissed the top of Misha's head affectionately.
" Sweet Dad's son "
She is very fond of the girl she adopted a few years ago. Somehow he felt that God presented Misha was special to him. Although there was no Dika blood flowing in the girl's body, Dika felt that she already had an inner bond. Which if Misha is not okay, then Dika will be able to feel it.
After coming out of Misha Dika's room back to the news, he also seemed to have to rest and sleep. But before that, he wanted to contact Delia first, he hoped that this time the girl's phone had been able to network. Well, today either a few times since morning to evening Dika can not call the number Delia. Although from the beginning Delia had told him that the village that Delia visited later to be made a fieldwork is a remote village that is very far from the city. And maybe during the KKN mobile Delia will be difficult to contact.
And this is how Dika now, feel bad because Delia all day lost news. If yesterday the girl still had time to contact him, because apparently Delia at that time was on a schedule of tasks to shop at the market for the purposes of eating students, and when at the market, it was not, delia's phone can get a little phone network. And now Dika must resign and wait for news Delia who knows when.
I hope you're there okay Bi... Misha since yesterday asked you, she is also so missed, it seems that the whole house feels you lost, including me... I miss you so much, Bi...
Dika sent a short message to Delia, hoping that the message would be delivered soon, even if it was when.
In the other hemisphere.
Delia was struggling in the kitchen with three female friends and two male friends. It was her turn to cook dinner for all her friends.
Although he was so busy, but it could not be denied that his mind was also floating somewhere. A week he was in this strange place, without electricity in the morning, and at night people would use generators to illuminate the whole village that was not too big. And even more concerning is the absence of cellular networks. If you want to get a network then someone has to get out of the dase or kebasar, even in this digital era, there is still a Wartel located in the opposite village which is located quite far from the village he occupies now. Delia felt like she was going back to her parents' days.
" Huffttt.. I miss my boyfriend, since a week I haven't been preaching," one of Delia's friends from the law school suddenly grumbled.
" Hem, here there is no Mila network, so be patient "Dewi commented, it happens that he is also in charge of cooking dinner with Delia and others.
" But I haven't told her a week, what if she thinks I'm cheating, or she's cheating? " Mila who was sebuk picking chili from the bar did not stop grumbling exactly confided.
" That means your boyfriend is unfaithful" one of them spoke
" No, no way, I'm sure my girlfriend was loyal "the girl named Mila said confidently
" It's easy, if your boyfriend cheats, you also cheat on me "well, this is the comments of crocodile men who are always looking for opportunities.
" Ish, ogah, my girlfriend is more handsome everywhere compared to you Bang" said Mila
The man named Bambang felt unacceptable to hear the phrase Mila "It's delicious, where there are more handsome than me "he said proudly
" A lot, you're the only one who's the "Dewi's talking.
" Already - already, the food is ready, yukk we serve let us have the same dinner "Delia broke the debate, because indeed all the cooking is cooked. And the one on duty obeyed Delia said. They all roll out mats in the middle room which is very spacious for all people because the space is indeed they make a place to eat. These students are indeed given a special house for them to occupy as long as they do fieldwork in the village,
" Why did you see Delia Bang? " Tarjo with a typical Javanese dialect reprimanded Bambang who had been staring at Delia.
" Wow why? " ask Tarjo
" It's amazing, why there are stray angels on our campus" replied Bambang
Tarjo sighed in annoyance, so was the attitude of the faculty, all the women he said angel, do not be Delia who is basically beautiful, the female cat in the same eyebrow kask mascara will definitely be beautiful in Bambang's eyes.
" Au' Ah. I want to eat "Tarjo directly covered to the living room with the rest of some dishes that have not been lifted earlier. Tarjo does not care about the sound of Bambang yelling at him, for him Bambang will look very annoying when amazed with a woman.
Finish the dinner. Delia doesn't sleep like her other friends. He chose to sit on the edge of the terrace staring at the crescent moon above. Although occasionally he looked at his phone that lost network.
For now he even thinks if his phone is nothing at all even though the price is very expensive, still any item as expensive will not be used in a place like this.
Delia jerked her breath heavily. I don't know why a few days here he's like a missing person.
" What a long daydream? " The goddess came with two glasses of hot chocolate in her hand.
Delia received the cup given by the Goddess to her and did not forget to say thank you.
" Heeemmm, I miss Misha" Delia said quietly, but she could still be heard by the Goddess
" Same Misha or same as Misha's father? " ask the Goddess seduces
Delia smiled wryly, of course she also missed her father.
" Well, it's the same parcel "Delia answered honestly.
" Cieee, who again misses "said Dewi.
Delia drank hot chocolate from the Goddess "Hem, that's Wi, some days here I feel lonely, where can not tell people home, how are they? " say
" I'm also surprised, how there are still areas that are not touched by the government, even though the road is okay, not rocky and crooked" said Dewi.
And it is true, for the size of the road to the village there is nothing to worry about because the road is smooth, even when entering the corners of the asphalt road there are also those who use concrete roads.
" Listen, the people of the sink do not want if the internet network goes into their village" said Delia, that's what she heard from people, whether it's true or not.
" reason? " ask the Goddess
" I don't know, what I hear is the people here, especially the old people, they don't want that until their generation falls into things that are not good, they don't want to, because they think the outside world that will enter through the internet network later will turn their generation into a bad generation, a lot of foreign influence that will affect their children, their children, and they don't want that to happen, right or not, which I hear when I shop at the market anyway "
Delia had indeed asked that to the seller who was in the market, and a father of vegetable traders, who was from the village, indeed, but the father chose to move domicile because the father had a vegetable store business in the market.
" If the villagers know the benefits of the internet network, surely this village will be more advanced.. Not all bad things are on the internet depending on us who sort out "said Dewi
" Well, that's our job here, one of our work programs will introduce the outside world through the internet network to the villagers "
The goddess was bearded, while drinking her hot chocolate. " Haaa, if anyone sold the network here, I would have spent my pocket money just to buy the network, I'd have longed to interact with people in cyberspace, I would have, surely my fans feel lost because I've been inactive for a week " complained Goddess full of drama.
Delia just smiled, Dewi is like that, but it is a fact that her friend has a lot of fans on social media, and her fans are all from among men.
" i am like a lost person here, even I lost news about Misha, Mommy and Om Dika, what are they doing? "
