Sunday morning. Lani with the help of Maryam seemed busy in the kitchen. Meanwhile Saif sat facing the dining table while enjoying a bowl of ice cream. From this he forced to eat ice cream even though it was still morning, but rather than whining it was forced to be given as well. Now the boy seemed to be calmly enjoying his ice cream.
Andre who had just finished washing the car came over to Lani. The pinching of Lani's waist made Lani shocked and jumped.
”What the hell, Mas?" Lani's face was red. ”There's Saif and Maryam tuh.”.
Andre smiles.
"What the hell, Mas? ” screams Saif mimicking Lani's voice while laughing.
Lani and Andre looked at each other. Maryam giggles.
”Saif, what did you just say, honey? ”
”Mas.”
Lani glares at Andre. ”Tuh right... ”
”You're glazed.” Andre giggles.
In front of Saif Lani always call Andre with the name of father and Andre calls Lani with the name of mother to familiarize Saif. But the occasional release of also calling Mas made Saif often mock and imitate him.
”If later have a sister, Saif called Mas too. Isn't it Saif? ”
”Ngak ah...Saif wants to be called Abang. Kayak Dek Raisya calls Bang Hanafi. ” Saif mentions the names of the children of Mardin. They often visit Mardin's house and vice versa.
Lani chuckles. ”Saif does not want to be a Javanese, he wants to be a Batak yes, If. ”
Andre sneers. ”Emang original brother call batak? Nope. In Betawi there is also a call brother. That brother is public. ”
”Let's not original. But the people of Medan did call brother. Mommy should also call my brother the same father, but because it has become a habit, deh. ”
”Male is the head of the family so follow the custom of the husband.”.
”Eits, no need. Java is parental, so you can follow anyone. Different with Minang or Batak."
”Always don't want to lose."
”Yes, dong."
”Basic people batak.” Andre said with a laugh.
”Why Batak?" Lani mendelik
"Not to lose. Abstinence before winning."
"Oh, yes dong. We have a motto let the goats in their own village, but the bulls are overseas."
"Well, that's it. Don't want to lose, right?"
"Trus, why would Mas want the same batak? ”
”Not knowing why."
”Huh!! ” Lani blinks her lips. ”Finally not selling anyway, who wants only batak women this aja.”
"Eh, don't get me wrong. A lot of people, you know."
"Hummm, yeah. Including those who flew there."
"Start, don't start tipping, deh. Ntar goiter himself, cry."Andre Ejek.
”Kok so fight anyway father mother? ” asked Saif with his calm.
Andre and Lani looked again, then their laughter broke. Andre approaches Saif and takes a napkin and cleans Saif's ice cream-covered lips.
”Duh, dad's son ate it anyway? ” Andre sits Saif on his lap.
Saif smiling.
”Saif Javanese right? ” Andre starts teasing Lani again.
Saif shakes.
”People Batak?”
Saif shakes her head again. Andre's forehead is wrinkled.
”Trus?”
”Indonesians. Said Ustadzah we are Indonesian, Yah” said Saif.
Andre. Lani and Maryam couldn't help but laugh.
”Daddy is naanya Saif what person, the answer is yes Indonesian. But ask me what tribe you are? ” says Lani. ”What tribe are you, honey? ”
Saif shakes. ”Peapanya Saif Indonesian. The tribe does not exist.”
”Yes obviously nothing. Saif is half-half.” Andre said.
”Saif the Office. " Said Lani
”What the heck? ” ask Andre.
”Peranakan Java - Batak. "
Andre laughs. ”Good...good. No one is dominant. Saif can be said Javanese people can also be Batak people. Later father ajarin Saif Javanese language and culture ah... ”
”Bunda will also teach Saif Batak language and culture. ” Lani won't lose.
”Means Saif is rich dong.synya two.” Andre kissed his son's cheek. Saif laughing.
”Mother, when are we going to Oppung's place again? ” ask Saif. ” Saif want to fish again the same Oppung. Trus met Bang Dian also adek Zahra. ”
”Ask Dad, deh”
Saif looked at his father. Last year they returned to Lani's hometown.
”Hmmm. This year we go to the place of Eyang in Yogya. ”
”Oh.”
”Later Saif met Mbak Ranti, Mas Angga, Mba Sarah, Mbak Salmah, Mbak Nabila, Dek Panji, Mas
Faiz, Mas Fauzan. Anyway all, deh.”
”Saif want to kite with Mas Faiz.” said Saif.
”Last month when Dad was sick, Oppung will come here, If. ” said Andre.
"Oh, yes. The same as well."
Lani smiles. ”Now Saif took a shower first yes the same Sister Maryam. Mbak Mar please, yes.”
”Good, Mom. Come If” Maryam extended her hand to Saif, Saif greeted and immediately ran to her room.
Mary followed from behind.
Lani is busy with her cooking.
”Busy, Babe.What cooking is it? ”
”Lani want to make pudding same ice fruit for the study of mothers later. ”
”Mau naji or want to eat. Much greatly. ”
”The names are also the mothers of Mas. There must be a puller so they want to follow njai. ”
Lani managed to invite complex mothers to form a group study. Today is the second time. Previously Lani was also active in the assembly of taklim mothers of the complex held the mosque. There are some mothers who like to discuss with Lani about matters of religion, family and even law. Lani invites them to her house so that the discussion is more free and the time is long. It may feel exciting and fun that they ask that the discussion continues. Finally the formation of halaqoh (group study) mothers by themselves. Members of the group there are 7 people including Ms. RT in it. Lani is very happy, because this is what she is waiting for.
”Darling, there's a friend or sister or who's unmarried, isn't it?"
”Many, Mas. Why why?"
”That, there is a sister in the study, the Arham asked to be sought. He said he was ready for marriage. There is no suitable
yes same him? ”
”Ntar Lani see first. ”
”But he wants to be like you he said. ”
Lani pointed at her own nose.
”Why? Shocked? I myself am shocked. He could have said it the same Mas.”
”What's Kayak Lani? ”
”Beauty, nature. ”
”Ih, it's not polite anyway he, I say it directly to the man's husband."
Andre shrugs his shoulders. "He's a fan of the same time as you."
Lani laughs. There was a jealous tone in Andre's voice.
”Wah, dare also him yes. So flattered nih.”
Andre sneers.
”But, Mas. Which Arham is it? ” Lani thinks. Andre once held a lecture at their home, but that was only once. Usually in the mosque.
”Dibilangin also will not know. Besides mending do not need to know, ntar you have a crush.”
”Ye,,Mas is-there is. Oh, he must be cooler, so I'm afraid. ”
”Who said cooler? Where anyone matches this Mas mu. All the guys passed by. Younger, yes. ”
Lani laughs. ”She is younger, usually younger than older people. ”
”Basic caterpillar fur, likes young leaves. ”
Lani punched her husband in the shoulder while laughing. ”Kanda, Mas. If you want to find another one, Lani
lasalin since Mas mengambek trus ninggalin that house.”
”Who is craving. It wants to teach you a lesson because you do not want to believe the same
mas Words. Evidently, you cry continuously as long as it is left. Yes, yes.the handsome prince disappeared, who is strong? ”
”Ih, say it because I can't stand Lani cuekin so Mas go. ”
”1:1 mean. Imbang”
”Finally caved. Lani will not win. ”
”As of you,deh." Andre laughed
”No, we've been married for six years. But it still feels like a newlywed. ”
Lani smiles. ”Mas used to be so hard to say love. Though Lani directly said that day too.”
”Eit...Go first, you know. Mas said the night. You are the only one who did not hear.”
”Mas said it when Lani wants to sleep. Oh, yes, there was something Lani wanted to ask, just remember now. Since when did I fall in love with Lani. Lani asked Mas not to answer. Come now answer.”
”You first, deh..”
”Always so." Lani sneers. ” Yes, listen carefully. Lani fell in love with Mas after our wedding, when Mas again chat with Papa like very well. Now it's your turn Mas.”
”When? ”Andre pretends to think. ”Actually I have fallen in love with you since the application event. ”
Lani surprised.
”Something wrong?" Andre asked so caught the shock on Lani's face.
Lani shakes. ”Not expecting. It is not that Lani is not included in the criteria of the ideal woman Mas
huh uh? Lani thinks the old Mas will just fall in love with Lani.”
”You are not included in the criteria of dream women, Mas. But that's what love is called. We
we cannot foresee his coming in our hearts. ”
”So, what kind of woman is your dream?”
”It doesn't matter now. I got the best girl. ”
Lani smiles. "By the way, now what's the case, Mom?"
"There's a case of a child suing her real mother."
"Innalallahi. Because of what, Mom?"
"Home." Andre told me a little about the case that entwined the child and the mother.
Lani could only shake her head.
