Ustad Or Alkash?
Him, My Mother

"Finally you wake up too." (saidan said).

Andin rubbed his eyes and blinked a few times. He realized that he was leaning on someone's shoulder. He immediately stepped aside and apologized for his disrespectful actions.

"Aaa forgive me. I accidentally have leaned on your shoulder."

I deliberately pulled you earlier (inner Zidan)

"Are you so exhausted?"

Until you snore so loud?

"Hemm, yes of course I'm very tired. Why why?"

"It's all right, you slept really well."

Andin squinted his eyes. He seems a little suspicious of her.

"Are you sure you're not hiding something from me?"

Zidan Haq could not hide his laughter this time.

Aaaaaa, why is he laughing like that.

"Everybody who sleeps is like that if they are very tired." (answer Zidan understood)

God, did he hear my snoring while sleeping? Aaaa, nooooo. The snoring of people while asleep sounds like the sound of a chapter animal....

"You're like a baby. It's funny to fall asleep."

"What did you say?!"

"What did I say? Baby is a baby. She's as adorable as you are."

I feel like floating. Flying far into the sky to seven.

"We've arrived, let's go down." (he said again)

Andin and Zidan and the other passengers got off the train immediately. Some are waiting for their families. There are also those who do not. Crammed into each other was a sight that was now visible. Again, can't wait to get to the destination is certainly the main reason.

"Give me your bag."

Zidan grabbed Andin's black backpack and carried it on his shoulder. Andin obey only.

"Eh, where's your bag?"

"Not bring it."

"Eh, why?"

"If I need something, I can buy it."

Yep, yeah. He's a rich man.

"You shouldn't even have to carry a bag. After all, all your needs will be available in your home. If there is anything less, you just have to say it." (he said again)

Andin remained silent. He did not intend to reply to Zidan's words. Not important. He thinks.

"The pickup car is over there. Come on."

Zidan invites Andin to follow in his footsteps. Andin complied. Both of them were waiting for the driver. Andin and Zidan were greeted very politely by the driver. The driver immediately allowed the two of them to get into the car by opening the door. Don't forget to thank you.

"You were sleeping in the car. It's my turn, right?" (saidan held back his sleepiness)

"Sleep. I'll take care of you."

"You're teasing me?"

Andin chuckles to himself. This time it was like this. After some chatter, Zidan finally fell asleep. This is Andin's chance. He was sure that Zidan Haq would take him to his house.

"Sir, after that big crossroad we turn left huh."

The driver was a little confused.

"But that's not the way to your house, non."

"Aaaa, stop. I know his shortcut. Didn't you fuck me? I'm so tired. And look at Mr. Zidan. He even slept so fast."

Is there really a shortcut? As long as I'm here as far as I know there's no other shortcut.

"Don't you believe me?"

"Certainly believe non. I really believe."

The driver turned the steering wheel to the left of the road. Drive the car rather quickly. It seems he caught all Andin's words. That the two of them were already very tired and wanted to hurry up. Therefore, the driver accelerates the speed of the car.

Thirty minutes later...

Zidan opened his eyes. He was shocked at the sight he saw today. A house he knew very well. A house full of memories of his childhood. Looked at the home's goals. A house that has not changed at all. For years he has not set foot here.

"Where are we? Why are we stopping here?" (say Zidan was angry with the driver)

"Sorry sir."

"You don't get mad at him. I asked him to come here. I showed you the way."

"But Andin, we need to get home soon."

"No. You just go home by yourself."

Suddenly, two women came out of the door. Zidan really had a hard time breathing this time.

Mom, Rossie. I can always just look at you from a distance.

"Come on, get out of the car for a second, okay? Let me introduce you to Aunt Helen. He's very nice."

You're right Ndin. He's very kind. She was my mother. But I couldn't see him without my father's permission.

"No Andin. There is important work to be done right now." (said Zidan reasoned)

"Aaaa, come. Just shaking hands, huh? Aunt Helen was so much fun. While his son, who was beside him was very annoying. Come on, please."

Is that Rossie, right, Ndin? She's my little sister. She looks so sweet.

"Other times I am."

"Ah, yes, that's it!"

Andin got out of the car by holding back his black backpack and immediately ran towards the two women who were waiting for him. While the driver returned to drive the vehicle in the direction of its original purpose. Yes, Andin's house.

Zidan breathed slowly.

I don't know when you'll give me permission to see my own mother and sister.

......................

"Let's go, have a drink."

Helen threw a glass of ice water at Andin. Andin grabbed it with excitement.

"Thank you, Aunt Helen."

Helen smiled gently as usual. During all these years Andin had not met him, apparently nothing had changed from him according to Andin.

"How was your trip, baby?"

"Fun, Aunt."

"Who were you with? Looks like Aunt just caught a glimpse of someone sitting next to you. But it's not clear."

"Is that your lover? The one your papa's betrothed to?"

"Hehe. Aunty always asks for things she already knows."

"Why not go into the house? Auntie wants to see it."

"I've brought Auntie. He said next time. There's an important job waiting for him."

"Huh. Aunt was really disappointed."

"Hehe, sorry Auntie."

"Yes! Just keep talking to both! Just so you know! I'm between the two of you, heh!"

Andin and Helen chuckled. Hearing the protests from Rossie who always invited laughter. In the end Helen also told Andin to clean his body and immediately rest in Rossie's room after a long time chatting the three. Actually, the rooms in the house still have some. But he deliberately told her to go to his daughter's room only. Of course, the two of them would be more happy if they spoke from heart to heart. Although the two of them often fought, they basically loved each other.

...----------------...

In the luxurious living room, Zidan, Kumala and Arga were sitting in conversation. Zidan several times apologized to Kumala and Arga for their carelessness. Because they had fallen asleep during the journey until they finally reached Helen's house according to Andin's direction.

"That's it, it's okay. Let Andin pick up the house driver."

Kumala was not angry that Zidan had not brought her daughter into her home. He cursed. Andin is like that. However, something like this would not be easily accepted by her daughter. Moreover, during the dormitory there was not a single family who visited him or just asked him news.

"Did your mother know about the match between the two of you?" (ask Arga)

Zidan shook his head slowly.

"I don't think so yet. Even to this day, my mother did not know where we were. He didn't know that I was around him often."

SERIATE...
