A Handful of Love for You
6. Shindy

Atep POV

I am now in the village of Cibeber. Lately I often go back to the village because my adoptive brother needs my help to manage his business so that almost every weekend I go back and forth between Bandung and Cibeber Village.

When I just got home and I haven't had time to park my bike into the garage, suddenly my foster brother screamed at me with a worried look.

“Trip Attraction, Tep!” teh Iyah shouted from a good distance away from me. He held the car keys and prepared to get them out of the garage.

I immediately rushed over to Teh Iyah.

“Where, Tea?” my many.

“Tuti, you are also coming. We just take the car to there.” My foster brother told my cousin's sister to come along too.

“Liar Atep who drove, Tea. Looks like Teteh is in a rage,” bargain me

Teh Iyah then handed me the car keys.

“Where are we, Tea?” ask me carefully because after seeing the face of the necklace.

“We go to the East Forest, Tep.” replied Teh Iyah sobbing. Looks like tears have started to fall from his eye peluk.

I asked Tuti who was sitting in the passenger seat beside me. I asked Tuti with my facial expression and Tuti answered with a twitch of his shoulder.

“Basic cousin sister no morals,” grunt me in heart.

After arriving at the entrance to the forest, the, I parked the car on the side of the road and soon followed Teh Iyah and Tuti who had first got out of the car and ran into the forest while screaming calling the names of Faras and Faris.

“Aras... Aris..!” Teh Iyah and Tuti alternately shouted the names of Faras and Faris, my foster sister's twins.

I started calling Faras and Faris. Looking at the distance between Tuti and Teh Iyah a bit away, I pulled Tuti and asked her the problem.

“What the hell is it, Tut? Aras and Aris are missing? They were kidnapped or how?” I strapped Tuti with questions.

“Aras and Aris escaped, A.” replied Tuti.

“What?” shouts surprised.

“Kok can they escape?” ask again.

“Not run away anyway. It looks like Aras and Aris want to meet their favorite om but not given the same permission as Teh Iyah. When we let our guard down, Aras and Aris leave. Tuti also does not know where Aras and Aris go. It's just yesterday that Aras and Aris made a pact with Om Endra to meet today.

“Who is Om Endra?” much

“That's you, Om Endra is the boss who made the advertisement shoot in our village. Aa also met Om Endra when we were on the river again. Remember no?”

I tried to remember the figure Tuti was talking about.

I remembered the om-om Tuti spoke of. I remember Aras and Aris getting along with the man on the first day they met. I also wonder why Aras and Aris can get along with the man immediately. Whereas usually Aras and Aris will behave fiercely to everyone they just met. Especially if there are men who intend to approach Iyah Tea, they will immediately install the body.

“Atep... Tuti…! Hurry here!” Teh Iyah cried out to me and Tuti who was some distance away from his current position was pulling the hand of Faras and Faris.

Me and Tuti immediately ran over to Teh Iyah. I was astonished to see the face of Teh Iyah who had been covered in tears and looked like fear.

“Quick carrying Cedars and Aris!” the Iyah Tea Order.

I carried Faris while Tuti carried Faras. We immediately rushed to follow Teh Iyah who ran out of the forest.

“What's up, Tea?” my many.

“Later Teteh tell me!” sahut Teh Iyah who did not stop running scared like being chased by criminals.

“Yeah... wait..!” the man shouted from behind.

“Teh, it looks like Teteh was called that,” Tuti said.

“Do not listen. Quickly we go from here!” Teh Iyah was getting faster running followed by me and Tuti who were running with a stumble because they were holding Faras.

“Quick open the car, Tep!” the Iyah Tea Order.

I took Faris down and unlocked the car door. After the car keys opened, Teh Iyah immediately took Faris and sat her in the back seat.

Due to exhaustion, Tuti dropped Faras from his carrier.

“Yeah... wait…! I want to talk to you,” shouted the man closer.

“Bu, that's Om Endra call-call Mother's name,” said Faras.

Iyah's tea did not respond to what Faras said and quickly placed her into the car.

“Quick in the car, Tut!” the Iyah Tea Order.

“Iya, Tea.” Tuti immediately got into the car and sat in the front passenger seat.

“Tep, fast walk!” the Iyah Tea Order.

I started the engine when the man arrived. He called out the name of Teh Iyah and knocked on the passenger door glass.

Not getting a response from Teh Iyah, the man immediately headed to the front of the car and tried to block the car with his body.

“How about this, Tea?” my many.

“Crash it!” answer Tea Iyah kalut.

I was surprised to hear the answer from Teh Iyah. He who has been treating others kindly and kindly turns out to have a bad side as well.

“Yakin Tea, we just hit that guy?” I'm asking which is not serious.

“Jangaan!” serikTeh Yes.

“So how, Tea? Hit or not?” ask again.

“Don't get hit, Tep. Just pull the car back and turn it around immediately. Can ya?”

“Siap, Tea.”

Now it's time I'll show my racing skills.

I feel like I want to laugh at the attitude of Teh Iyah like this. An attitude like not himself. Iyah tea which is usually firm can also act plin plan. I don't know who the man who chased Teh Iyah was. But I have a strong feeling that the man is the father of Faras and Faris.

If it did not come from his past, there was no way Teh Iyah - a brave woman could act scared and also plan to face the man. This was only the first time I saw the face of Teh Iyah who was in a state of panic and fear.

In an instant, I was able to dodge the man's barrier and drive the car at full speed.

“Teteh know the same Om Endra?” ask Tuti.

I saw Teh Iyah from the rearview mirror. The tea just kept on shedding tears.

“How do you guys get to know each other?” tanya Teh Iyah who was busy wiping away the tears that continued to flow her cheeks on Tuti.

“Kan Tuti has told me that Om Endra was filming the ad. Aras and Aris also often play together with Om Endra.”

“How did you first meet and finally get to know each other?”

“We first met on the river. A Atep knows it too. That's A, when we drove Aras and Aris to watch the shoot but it's not so because the filming broke up we went to the river and met Om Endra there,” explained Tuti.

“Betul, you also know, Tep?” tanya Teh Iyah sharp.

“Betul, Tea. In their first meeting, Aras and Aris have been seen close to that om.” I replied.

“Surely know the same Om Endra?” ask Tuti.

Iyah tea did not answer Tuti's question.

“Or do not-don't Om Endra it ay - ” Before Tuti finish his sentence, Teh Iyah already cut it.

“Don't say much, Tut. Later just tell Teteh at home.”

Fixes. The man was the real father of Faras and Faris as well as her ex-husband Teh Iyah. I don't know for sure whether Teh Iyah has divorced her husband or not and I don't want to know about it either. I wish Teh Iyah had been divorced.

After arriving in front of the house, Teh Iyah immediately dragged Faras and Faris to enter the house. I immediately put the car back in the garage. I am sure soon there will be a drama of a father who chased his wife and children like soap opera dramas that Tuti often watched every morning and afternoon.

Just a few minutes later, the man shouted for Teh Iyah. Unwilling to see the scene of the epic drama, I went straight into the room to continue my script revision. I tuned the music out loud and put headphones into my ears.
