If the red date on the weekday it feels free for ordinary employees like Tania and friends. Today Tania meets the invitation for thanksgiving for Mbak Sari's pregnancy. As usual, Yudha was standing by waiting in front of the alley to pick up Tania.
"Acieee neat really if you wear cocoa clothes" said Tania.
"What do you want to buy?" ask Yudha.
"Ih, no thank you, too. Really, A. If a guy wears a koko shirt tuh in the eyes I'm handsome her many times"
"Emmmmm....Don't let me fly gini yah hahaha. Yuk hunted up" said Yudha.
"Allah.....Alright.." they also left for Sari's residence.
Arriving there, Sari's house has been visited by many study mothers. Tania and Yudha are greeted by Sari's husband, Aris. Once inside they had a casual conversation before the lecture began and Sister Sofie had come apparently. Not long after, Iqbal and Fira also came and joined only Nicko who had not been seen the trunk of his nose. Yudha tried to contact Nicko repeatedly but still there was no answer. Then it was replaced by Tania and the result remained the same.
"Where is the child? It was 10 in the morning not yet awake" Yudha grumbled.
"His turn is staying up" said Iqbal.
"You know what, Bal?" ask Yudha.
"So she's a malem ngajak mabar game. I just hold until two in the morning not strong eyes ask to be folded" said Iqbal.
"Pillotent. The studies are over he just woke up" Yudha said.
The recitation began with ustadz from the nearest mosque. Fervently everyone present recited the holy verse of the Quran and offered his best do'a to the baby and the family of Mbak Sari. After the closing do'a is said, the event continues with a friendly manner and tasting various dishes that have been available.
"Sir, how beautiful is that?" said Fira.
"Well, didn't I look pretty yesterday?"
"Eh that's not it, the aura is different even more beautiful. My mother said that I was well when my sister was pregnant if her face was very beautiful shining it was a sign of pregnant boys" said Fira.
"You girl, want a guy who is important healthy, safe, and perfect" Aris said.
"Well that's right. Want the same girl or guy will never lack his affection" said Mbak Sari.
"Yes Ma'am, we do'ain hopefully smooth, healthy, perfect congratulations for the mother and baby" said Tania who guaranteed by all.
Until the passing of the dzuhur turned out Nicko was still not coming, the event was over and all the guests one by one went home. Tania and her friends also parted ways, only when Tania returned home she would not go home with Yudha. Sofie's sister asked her to look at her new kotsan.
"A, I'm going to kotsan, ma'am Sofie first. A Yudha gapapa go home alone?"
"What a person I'm with Iqbal and Fira"
"Hah yes yes. Be careful on the way, A" Tania waved her hand towards Yudha, Iqbal and Fira.
"You are also careful if you have arrived at home kabari ya" said Yudha, Tania nods affirming Yudha's words. After Yudha passed, Tania and Mbak Sofie also glided to the place of kotsan.
"Yeah Mbaaakkk, this is a very big house with me atuh. This could be an alternative way when I go to school" Tania said as she nudged Sofie's mother's arm.
"Well, what is it, Tan?" ask Sofie's Mom.
"Yes, Mother". They went inside Kotsan, this could more be called a rented house. There is a small living room, room, and kitchen, unfortunately the bathroom is located separately and used with the other residents. For Mbak Sofie, the important price is affordable, can save from the rest of the salary and more importantly it is comfortable because the place is far from the noise of the city streets.
"Aren't you afraid to live alone?" tania asked as she looked around the various corners of the kotsan.
"What are you not afraid of? Anyway, Tan who has the cottage is also good and friendly. They are already old, I remember both my parents in the village" said Sofie lowered her head.
"Well, they're parents. I understand the feeling of Mbak as a regional child away from parents"
"Yes they say so too. He said if there's anything don't hesitate they're ready to help"
"Thank God that's it. I can also often play if deket kayak gini mah" entertain Tania.
"OK ready Ma'am as long as there is permission from the great commander in the house I mah heheh" kekeh Tania.
"I want to buy a snack at the front stall first, you wait here yes"
"Sir, I really wanted to go to the water from earlier"
"Geez, why didn't you tell me?" mom Sofie said holding a bucket and a dipper to Tania. Tania was just a whimper.
After completing her small wish, Tania rushed out of the bathroom for fear that someone might be waiting in line to enter. Although the bathroom is available there are three rooms still if the name of the bathroom together it can not be arbitrary.
"Well, Tania?" greet someone who was not far from the bathroom when Tania came out, then turn to the origin of the sound.
"Well, Akbar? How come it's here?" ask Tania astonished.
"Well, you should be the one who is like that" Akbar said, shaking his hand.
"Why is that why?" ask Tania again.
"This is my home. Um I mean the house of Amih same Apih" said Akbar who can not be separated from his smile.
Oh so Akbar lives here.....The house is quite large lived by two people who are already old plus a boy. Tania Mumbles.
"Heloo, how can you be dumb?" ask Akbar.
"Eh yes. Temen I'm costing here, Bar"
"Oh, who just came in three days ago, huh?"
"Yes. Titip ya heheh" said Tania while showing off her row of white teeth.
"She was the one who wanted you at the wedding, but I guess she also did not know that this kotsan has Amih you" whispered Tania.
"Hahaha use all whispers. Yes, Amih also said there are new girls ngekost. Amih directly fit aja when he nawar price, he said different vibes seem good children, continue to happen to be Amih's grandchildren are all men so Amih seneng there are kost girls are young. But I think she's old and she's the same age as me?"
"Alhamdulillah, I'm relieved. He is three years older than me, than you are the same age"
"Oh that's it hmmm alright" Akbar mangosteen.
"Have you met yet?" ask Tania
"Yet. I will work to go home in the morning, fitting him to the house also I'm in the room just never out of the room if there are guests"
"Sofie's ma'am's orders don't tell me anything". The bathroom front conversation ended with the arrival of Sister Sofie with two crackles while having snacks and drinks. Sister Sofie was surprised to see the person in front of her chatting with Tania.
It was the person who filled the event at the wedding Sari muttered Sofie's mother in her heart.
"Tell me what the hell is exciting, in front of the bathroom anyway. Another queue?" ask Sofie's Mom.
"Eh, Mbak knows this is Akbar" Tania said introducing Akbar to Mbak Sofie. Akbar reached out his hand and was greeted by Sister Sofie as well as her second smile.
"Tan, hayu's in. Akbar want to join?" bring Sofie's Mother.
"Oh thank you Ma'am. Please be afraid to disturb the show of heheh girls" kekeh Akbar.
"What a way we just chat while cool" said Tania.
"Heheh please you guys, thank you for the invitation" Akbar said politely.
Tania and Sister Sofie enter the room. From the look on her face, Sofie wondered why there could be Akbar and why she could be familiar with Tania. Hmmm Why is it? Hayo whyaa?
