THE FORMER BLIND COLLECTION HOUSE IJO
Chapter 47 Tetap

That afternoon Mamah who was lying in her bed after giving birth a few days ago, Mamah was still limp in because of the age of Mamah who was included in a high risk for giving birth, Mama was still weak because of the age of Mamah who was included in the high risk for giving birth, Mamah gave birth to our youngest sister around the age of 40.

The doorbell of the house rang, and there was a faint voice of the woman who said hello, like her voice we know, me, and Teh Eli who was accompanying Mamah in the room looking at each other, like her, the sound of greetings is heard very clearly from Mamah's room, because the mamah room, the main room is located next to the living room, and the Mamah room window is right facing the terrace of the house, the main room is located next to the living room, so if anyone comes we can see or hear it clearly.

I got out of Mamah's bed, and peeked out the window to see who had come even though I knew the voice, but I wanted to make sure it was really our eldest brother?.

I opened the window curtains to see two men standing one man wearing a hat, and the other a woman holding a baby wearing a hijab, like her the woman felt someone was paying attention to her, then the woman turned to me who was peeking at her from the window.

The woman smiled I widened my eyes in disbelief, I could not hide my joy, it is true that our Salung brother who almost Four years did not come home because he went with her husband to Tasikmalaya.

"Liyaaa.. Yaaah's drops? That's a teteh, right?".

Tea Eli asked curiously, I nodded my head with a sigh replied.

"Yesa, that's Teteh in front".

Said me, Teh Eli approached me who was still standing at the window, Teh Eli wanted to make sure that our eldest brother came, we were both very happy, and told Mamah.

"Mamah teteh came. It's Herti Tea in front".

Say it with a very happy face.

"Alhamdulillah.. quickly open the door".

Said Mamah with a twinkle in her face, Me, and Teh Eli half ran up to the door of the main hall, and instantly unlocked the door, and well in front of us, well, My oldest brother was standing smiling and moved as he gave the baby in his sling to her husband, then hugged me, and Teh Eli, My sister was crying in our arms.

"Why doesn't my mother ever come home?"

Tetah could not answer, only crying at my question.

"We have two more sisters"

Said Eli tea, My eldest brother was touched by shock.

"What true? where is Mamah now?"

My eldest brother asked, realizing that Mamah was not with us to welcome him at the door.

"In the room, Mamah was still lemes just two days ago Mamah gave birth".

Hearing that, my eldest brother immediately ran to the room approaching Mamah, me and Teh Eli were still at the door.

"Let's A come in.. This is our nephew huh?".

Teh Eli said, We greet our Sister-in-law, and ask her to come in, Teh Eli holds our 4-month-old niece.

"What's her name?".

Ask me while kissing the baby in Eli's Tea sling.

"Sahrul apandi's".

Me and Teh Eli looked at each other, apandi...My eldest brother also gave me the name Extension with the name Grandpa, just like the name of our youngest brother, and my eldest brother did not know that Grandpa was dead.

"Why?".

Said my sister-in-law when she saw us instantly speechless, when she mentioned her son's name.

"What is A. Let's meet Mamah in her room, because Mamah is still limp just giving birth".

Said Eli tea and we stepped foot into Mamah's room, in our room we saw, Our eldest brother was crying in Mamah's arms.

"Sorry Teteh mah...Teteh Son of disobedience, Teteh can not be devoted to Mamah".

Teteh said in between his cries, Mamah kissed Teteh.

"Don't say like that tea, don't ko, teteh is not disobedient, Teteh's obligation is now dutiful husband, nurut same husband so good wife it is more than Teteh dutiful same Mamah".

Mama said, calming Teteh who was crying.

"Teteh kangeun with Mamah, Teteh kangeun same Papah, Teteh's brothers, but the circumstances that make Teteh years can not go home is not Teteh not bad, mah... "

Said Teteh wanting to explain why he didn't come home.

"Yes Tea... Mamah... Mamah ngerti, we also kangeun Teteh, Mamah was worried for years Teteh no news, Mamah can only do'ain Teteh hopefully Teteh is fine not lack of anything, not lack of anything, always in the protection of Allah".

"That's Mamah's grandson?"

Tanya Mamah pointed to the baby who was carrying Teh Eli, who was now crying, then Mamah turned to my eldest brother again, My eldest brother nodded, and fell.

"Here Eli, Mamah wants to hold Mamah's first grandson".

Mama said and stretched his hands asking Teh Eli to give the baby in his carrier, Teh Eli also gave our nephew to Mamah, My sister-in-law also approached Mamah, Mama, and kissing Mamah's hand, Mamah smiled.

"Thank you for nganterin Teteh nengok Mamah".

Said Mamah to her husband Teteh.

"I'm sorry Mah can only deliver Teteh after many years, circumstances that make us only able to come to see Mamah family".

Mamah nodded, and turned to her Grandson who was now on her lap who was crying.

" His funny..what's the name of the tea? this handsome boy, cup dear.. ".

Mama said while kissing her first grandchild.

"Sahrul Apandi Mah's.. ".

Momentarily fell silent, and looking at me and Teh Eli, me, and Teh Eli nodded.

" Why Mah?".

Ask my eldest brother, when looking at the beard on Mamah's face that looks surprised.

"The name of the extension is the same as the name of your youngest brother".

Mama said, smiling bitterly considering that Teteh did not know that Grandpa had died, Mamah felt heavy telling my eldest brother that Grandpa had died.

" Oh yeah we have two new sisters,? where're they?".

Teteh asked, then stood circulating his gaze.

"Neng Yeni again brought her husband's play Aunt Ana to the rented house of her Aunt Ana, whose baby was sleeping in the baby box her name muhamad Aziz Apandi, same name as the extension".

Said Mamah as she pointed her finger at the baby box at the end of Mamah's bed, my sister approached the baby box, and held our youngest sister.

"Tante Ana is married, when?".

Ask my Teteh, well many important events that my eldest brother did not know for almost Four years he disappeared, without news, without news, I'd love to ask her why she never sent word?.

Calling at least sent a letter, we didn't call her because when we asked her no phone before they first left the house, her husband said there was no phone at his house, well maybe where they live in a village that has no phone in, but they can call on the public phone because my brother has our home phone number, he said, he can go to the market" and call at the public phone booth we used to call him Wartel.

Or at least send a letter, Teteh will know our address, while we, we do not know the address of their post, they do not give a complete address, he said, it was once taken by me to write it just want to know the news, but I see the address is not too clear just the name of the city, and the village there is no Rt and Rw, and no home, that time I hesitated to send her a letter.

I wanted to ask Teteh all of that, but I held back, because I thought now was not the right time to ask all of that, not to mention Teteh who will feel devastated when he knows Grandpa is dead.

"A year ago Aunt Ana got married, same lembang loh Teh, the recipe is also in our house".

Mama said while holding her grandchild and not stopping to kiss her.

"Masa Mah... bustling dong in our house, ko can Aunt Ana marry Lembang Meet where?, Mah Teteh will go almost four years, can't you go, already have two new sisters is different how many years Mah?".

Teteh insinuates Mamah with questions, while holding our youngest sister.

"After Teteh left a year later Mamah became pregnant, But after giving birth, Mamah was sick for almost a year, Aunt Ana stayed at our house to take care of Mamah and your sister, she said, because of long stay in our house, Aunt Ana often went out to the market to buy necessities, finally Aunt Ana met her husband who is now, after Mamah healed we celebrate the wedding of Aunt Ana, Tante, and Mamah at that time because almost a year sick, Mamah forgot to take contraception so pregnant again, two months apart with aunt Ana, now Aunt Ana is 7 months pregnant".

Said Mamah answering all my elder brother's questions, Teteh approached Mamah with a sad face.

"Hospitalized? nearly a year? what pain is Mah?.

Teteh put our sister back to her baby box, and approached Mamah, then sat next to Mamah who was holding her child, Mamah told her everything that happened to her, from the first there was a fireball that approached Papah until finally Mamah could heal again.

"Alhamdulillah... Sorry Teteh Mah.. Teteh is not in the moments mamah needs Teteh, it should be Teteh who takes care of Mamah, Teteh would like to say thank you to Aunt Ana has been willing to nurse Mamah all this time, Same Grandpa too, same Grandpa, Teteh kangeun Same Grandpa, We call Grandpa huh Mah. Can not Grandpa here? If Grandpa can not come here, let Teteh who to Bogor, yes A. can anterin Teteh to Bogor?".

Teteh said, then turned to her husband to ask in anther to Bogor to meet Grandpa, we, I, Eli Tea, and Mamah look at each other to hear Teteh want to meet Grandpa...
