THE FORMER BLIND COLLECTION HOUSE IJO
Chapter 49

Delman who drove us home from Jayagiri Lembang's public cemetery, stopped right in front of the gate of our house, I went down, and opened the gate, my eldest brother gave some money to the delman coachman, and down from the delman, the delman coachman turned his delman to return to the highway.

"Thank you, neng..".

With a smile, and the mangosteen coachman delman was gone.

"Sama-sama Mang".

Said my eldest brother, and approaching me who was still standing at the gate of our house waiting for him, I smiled and grabbed his hand as he approached, I said, I clasped his hands and we walked towards the main hall door.

It turned out that in front of the door was already standing Aunt Ana waiting for us, my sister smiled, and half ran over to Aunt Ana.

"Auntie..".

My sister hugged Aunt Ana, Aunt Ana returned Teteh's embrace tightly.

"Where are you?, say for years no news, Auntie Kangeun..".

Said Aunt then let go of her hug and, kissing my sister's cheek right left.

"Mafin Herti.well Aunt, thank you Auntie has been wanting to take care of Mamah all this time".

Say my sister and hug my aunt again.

"Aunty's obligation, Mamah you're aunty's sister, we lost you, worried about you, you have no news, no call or mail, why?".

My sister bowed her face, Aunt put her shoulder on her and, bringing my sister into the house.

"Well, we'll talk about that, you're from Grandpa's grave, right?".

Seeing my sister who could only be bowed when asked why, Aunt Ana understood my sister needed time to explain, then Aunt Ana brought my sister into the house by embracing her shoulder, they walked together into the living room, followed me from behind, I closed the door and, stepping over to them.

In the living room there is Mamah who is sitting in the sopa holding my youngest sister, next to her is my sister Neng Yeni who is only two years old, holding the cheek of our youngest brother who was asleep.

I approached neng yeni, and, holding her I kissed her gauntlet, my sister laughed in amusement, My sister is very cute, beautiful, fat, white, her hair is rich in instant curly noodles, well, I, tea eli, neng yeni, our childhood curly hair, our hair is the same as Mamah's hair, just Herti tea whose hair is straight like Papah.

I took Neng Yeni to my room to play, I invited Julian who was watching tivi to come to my room.

"Julian come with me".

Take me to Julian who is now in First Grade Junior High and I am in Third Grade Junior High.

Julian was pensive, and moved his kapala up with his eyebrows raised, a sign he didn't understand, let's go where he thought he was, I turned my eyes, I looked up, and beckoning that he should come to my room, as the adults would be speaking important things, Julian was forced to rise from his seat with a still confused face.

"Why, again watch tivi also iih".

Julian.

"Udah ah undar in the room in his mausoleum".

I said, Julian got ahead of me in my room, I followed from behind.

Julian said, sitting on my desk chair.

"That's a damn thing".

My words, approaching julian then sit my sister neng yeni on my bed, kiss her tickle her until she laughs.

"What do they want to say anyway?, where has Herti Tea been all this time?".

Julian was curious, and asked me.

"Well, maybe they'll talk about it, but it's Julian's adult business.. ".

I answered, Julian shrugged his shoulders and sighed.

"Teh help me work PR well, yesterday was helped ma Teteh really allaaaa".

Julian said with his eyes twinkling, I just smiled cynically, I admit that I am indeed the smartest child among my brothers, My sisters always say that you are smart school must be kept until college, baby your brain is smart.

Although actually they are also smart Tea Eli also ranked in the top three in her class but I, I got a Scholarship when school, I did not pay for school from First Class Junior High, until Third Grade I was the first in class, my teacher said Iq I was above the average child my age at that time, until my teacher never checked my test results, he said, and just judge her because she knows for sure her answer is right, and when the teacher wants to light up the lesson, the teacher always asks me to go ahead explain it to friends, friends, I sometimes think it's a compliment or a punishment?.

I'm a jovial child, cheerful I was close to anyone, all the teachers at that time were close to me, until the Headmaster who sometimes at times liked to be in my class because the teacher was not present, and the teacher was not there, when he taught from there he knew I was other than other students, when studying I seriously wanted to understand instead I studied at home before being studied at school, my favorite place in the library school, until the perpus keeper ngefans the same me, if I do not come a day, must be asked to other children.

"Liya was asked about Pa aang kangeun ma you said".

Boy chant if you make me, eehhh do not get me wrong I am also fierce, boys school not only classmate, call me the Cactus tree, I don't know if a teenager my age at that time had started love-love, rich monkey love that I was not interested at all.

If there are greetings or capers with me, instead I am judesin, risi, fierce, but if you go to the usual temen his men but he is just ordinary, I'm also familiar with them, I'm only interested in books all books in the library almost readable.

But thank God I do not wear glasses, thank God my eyes are healthy until now, and my appearance is also not rich nerd so, my appearance is worthy of his children slang at his time.

Until I had time to buy a book from the library entitled Bermuda Triangle author Gian J. Quassar, that was when I was Junior High had read such a heavy reading.

Swaggering? I always avoided the arrogant sipat, remembering the words of Grandpa "the arrogant people of the devil", with my friends I was close, when they asked I did not hesitate to tell, often they play at home just want to understand the lesson or do PR, even though I also end up struggling.

Or if they do not perfect PR, or if they can't do PR, because they don't understand, or males, the morning they've been waiting for me, he said, they just sat down with smiles, persuasion, so that I would go out in a PR book, and cheat.

"You don't have to picket let us do the work".

Say one of my friends while you cry.

"Ntar break you want chicken noodles no liya? you can't eat two bowls before we treat hheee".

Chicken noodles used to be only 500 silver, but the chicken noodles in my school were the most delicious, there would be no chicken noodles as good as in my school, he said, until now I did not find chicken noodles that were as good as when I was in school in Junior High.

That's a glimpse of me in Junior High, we go back to Mamah, Aunt Ana and Teteh, my eldest brother who is in the family room, what about Teteh? almost 4 years disappeared without news, phone or letter we never received at all.
