“Oh, ..”
Riziq's voice sounded disappointed, Aul felt unwell. Especially after hearing the words from Akmal.
“Honey really, even though Aunt Julia hopes you come along anyway, Aul,” Akmal added, she embraces Riziq's shoulder, patting him briefly. “Dah, don't mess with lo. Your face does not pantes to upset,” continued while chuckling.
Aul lowered his head, he tightened his grip on the files. “Hm ... lo talkin about the application, is not it, anyway?” tweet slowly. Aul feels something is wrong here, because sometimes Aul always misrepresents someone's intentions.
“Hah? Job application mean lo?” guess Akmal.
Aul shakes. His face was already blushed in embarrassment, he was very reluctant to say it further. His head he hid behind the file he was carrying, so it only showed his head down to the bottom of his eyes.
“Lah? Keep what?” akmal asked in surprise, he scratched his temple. “No way, if a serious application is kan—”
“OK, STOPP!!” Aul interrupted Akmal's words with a face that was already hot from embarrassment.
“Means no, right?” Aul glanced at Riziq doubtfully. “Hm .. if so, I ... first! Bye~” Aul running small towards the location of his class on the second floor.
While Riziq could not bear to not laugh to see Aul who ran away like a thief caught red-handed.
“Jeez, the leak ..” his murmur is still heard by Akmal.
“Why are you laughing by yourself?”
Riziq just shook his head, as if he did not want to share funny things with his best friend. He'll just keep it to himself. Only for him. “Nothing.”
Akmal sneered, “rich chick really answers.”
Riziq put his shoulders, he continued his steps towards the stairs to the department of Computer Engineering—his class Wildan— was on the second floor, one building with the first floor used by the department of Makeup.
Akmal who felt abandoned, chased after Riziq while shouting. “Oy, don't tell me you entered Mbak Juminten huh?” the accusation.
Riziq stopped his steps, he looked at Akmal lazily. “Only lo!”
“Thus earlier lo why sampe mesem-mesem so?” investigation suspects.
A smile grinned intentionally as Riziq displayed as Akmal continued to urge him, curious. “Reclaration.”
Then went back up the steps and ignored Akmal yelling annoyed at him.
“BASIC SONGGONG! I SWEAR YOU MADE CURIOUS SAME GIRL YOU LATER!”
•••
Days change, and so does time. Not felt already, now it is time for Aul to sleep —nine o'clock—because Aul can not sleep beyond the time limit or he will wake up with a dizzy head and reddened eyes.
One thing Aul could not do until now was; stay up late. Despite having a stack of tasks, memorization, even to the preparation of repetition, Aul is not able to enter at the level of staying up, like most people.
But there is something strange to him, Aul can not stay up, but if there is a pile of tasks, he will choose to sleep fast and wake up at 2-3 am. After that, Aul did not sleep and continued to be busy with his activities until dawn.
His phone was vibrating loudly, a sign of an incoming call. Aul forgot to turn on the voice mode on his phone as it dissolved in its task.
His forehead wrinkled when he knew the name of the caller was the one who managed to make his eyes perfectly round in the early hours of this day.
“Ya, hello, why?”
“Lo really can't come, Aul? Mama I nanyain continue, even though I've obviously done many times but do not believe.” Aul can understand that now Riziq must be confused about his attitude, but Aul can not forget the incident yesterday morning that made him very embarrassed.
“Lo lied to me huh? Surely Aunt Julia will be troubled if I come,” sergeant, cover nervousness in her voice.
“Dih, say my Mama too, ngeyel. Basic bocil.”
Riziq's scorn, Aul retorted by lip smashing, although Riziq did not see it, but he was very upset.
“Ish!”
Then there was an unclear voice, until finally the voice of aunt Julia surprised him.
“Halo, Neng?”
Aul must thank his papa who has Sundanese descent, although not too fluent, but Aul knows a little.
“Iya, Ma?”
Now Aul was really nervous. Although he had almost often interacted with aunt Julia when visiting Riziq's house, still he still felt like a stranger in Riziq's house, although many times aunt Julia asked him to consider it like his own family.
How could Aul act like that! His closeness with aunt Rara was due to his friendship with Mahesa since childhood. Another case, because of Riziq ...
“You bade join Mom to curug tour?”
(You want to join Mom on the water tour?)
Aul just kept quiet, he was confused as to what to answer. Aunt Julia's language is very hodgepodge, but because of that, Aul is also very grateful. He felt helped because he understood his meaning.
“Soalya Riziq do not want to come, because there is no cement. Her best friend is busy, ceunah. Emang loba reason for this one child's gravestone,” added aunt Julia.
(His best friend is busy, he said. There are many reasons for this child)
There was a voice of Riziq who denied the words of his parents. “Mama atos, atuh.”
Aul even almost giggled amused at hearing Riziq's voice which sounded like the voice of a boy who was not bought candy by his parents.
“So, how, Neng? Wanna, huh? Aunty kasian pisan, if you leave Aqi alone at home.” Tucked in the voice of aunt Julia just now who called Riziq with a fragment of her second name, Aqila.
(Tante kasian, if you leave Aqi alone at home)
“Hm .. how ya, Auntie. Aul fear ngerepotin ..”
Finally the sentence was also spoken from his lips that were not too nervous anymore. Aunt Julia is good at melting the atmosphere.
“Atos follow we, atuh. Not ngerepotin This mother, precisely Mommy seneng because there is temen.”
(Udah, yes)
“Tuh, Aul. Mama I insist you come, already come, rather than later not be given a sponge made by my Mama again, hayo ...,” mocking Riziq sounds like forcing.
Aul pouted, but couldn't help but smile at her.
“Hm, fine, Aunt. Aul coming,” break up Aul.
“Mother wait yes, later Riziq pick you up.” Aul just nodded his head, even though aunt Julia didn't see him.
“Oya, one more. Don't call Auntie, oruh. Call me, Mother. Long time ago still stiff so, especially later?” tease aunt Julia managed to make Aul blush again.
(Don't call Aunty, yeah)
Then afterwards came the cry of Riziq who was upset with the temptation of the mother. “Ma ... already do not tease, later not so!” His tone sounded threatening, but Aunt Julia's response that replied to him with another joke made Aul just envious of their familiarity.
“Halo, Aul, you're still there right?”
“I-iya, why?”
“Seven hours I picked up yes, regular place.”
Tut's.
Aul curses Riziq in his heart, the man is really good at making his heart go back and forth.
“HUAAAA!!” Aul shouted excitedly, the article is now at half six in the morning. And Riziq will pick her up at seven in the morning! Oh, NOOO!
Riziq is a punctual person, if he says that clock, then he really will come at that hour. And strangely again, Aul doesn't like to keep him waiting.
Not because of anything, because if Aul was late, when they had a promise to come out together, surely Riziq would not stop making it as a joke of the man.
You weird guy!
Aul also chose to get ready and walk towards the bathroom located near the kitchen.
It is seen that the bathroom door is closed, indicating there is a person in it, especially the sound of a running water machine.
“WHO'S INSIDE?!” asked Aul by shouting. He was sure that his yelling voice alone was unable to defeat the loud sound of the water machine.
“GUE!” reply to the voice of the baritone that Aul knew so well, Mahesa.
Aul clucked, the time was running low to get ready. He banged on the bathroom door, causing Mahesa inside to scream in anger.
“SANTUY AUL, WC LU WILL NOT BE HAPPY! OY WOLESSS! I'M AGAIN PUP, DON'T BE BOTHERED!!”
“PETETAN ESAAA!! URGENT NIH!”
“GUE MORE URGENT AUL!!” Mahesa is stubborn and Aul does not want to budge.
“LAGIAN NGAPAIN PUP HERE ANYWAY! AT HOME LO ALSO NO TIMES!!”
“ALL BATHROOMS IN MY HOUSE ARE RENOVATED!!”
“WHY EMANG? LO THE DRYNESS OF THE BOKER SO YES SO JAMMED THE BATHROOM?” Aul laughed loudly at Mahesa's words because of her words.
“SIALAN LU! I'M NOT A RICH BOY LU, AS LONG AS YOU KNOW!”
Actually he also just found out about the renovation of Mahesa's house this afternoon, but he did not expect that the bathroom would also accommodate human waste like Mahesa.
Aul again banged on the bathroom door. “ESAAA HUNT IHH!! I HAVE A BUSINESS!!”
“MY MAJOR IS MORE IMPORTANT AS IT CONCERNS LIFE AND DEATH!” mahesa Reply.
“DO NOT USE SOAP BUT!” Aul's shout irritated Mahesa, he returned to return Aul's shout.
“GUE NOT SOAP EATERS, AUL!!”
“BUT YOU OFTEN USE! AUNT RARA EVEN OFTEN STORIES THAT LO IT—”
The bathroom door finally opened, Mahesa fully clothed. But his face was staring at Aul flatly. Aul is no longer a child, he is a teenager who is about to grow up. It is not taboo for him to not understand the meaning of the words of Aunt Rara last time.
Holding back his laughter, Aul tried to get Mahesa out of her way. “Soaring!” he said, ignoring the gaze of Mahesa who looked at him; a combination of shame and anger.
“Don't tell anyone about what my Mother said ... or lo ... will know the consequences,” Mahesa threatened seriously.
Aul laughed at Mahesa's expression that was out of sync with her face.
“Biarin.” Aul stuck out his tongue, smiling mockingly.
“Or later I actually told you to your friends if it turns out that a Hana Aulia likes to wet her bed,” said Mahesa calmly, she breezed away regardless of Aul's nagging at her.
“MAHESA TAHI AYAMM!! LOOK AT AJA LO!!” aul was full of frustration.
