Aji's Adventure In The Future #AdventureAji
Aji at Lani's House

"Pretty," A mother wearing a can who seemed to be going to the wedding, approached Pretty.

"Yes, Mom," Pretty complained again. The woman was not ready to listen to her birth mother.

"So Mommy look, you're going to our security house. What's up?"

"Seek to buy some pads, Mom. Pretty longer menstruation." answered Pretty just origin.

"But just yesterday you finished your period. Mommy doesn't like you lying."

"Mu-make a te-men Pretty, Mom." Since childhood, Pretty was not talented to be a liar. He is always nervous if he has to say things that do not match the real facts. Therefore, Pretty always prepares for anything that must be said, if you have to lie.

"There's something you're hiding from Mommy. You don't have a crush on our security, do you?" look for Mommy who was worried her eldest child fell in love with a widower who already had three children.

"Are you kidding, Mom? Do I look like a young leaf who likes to chase om-om?"

In the Sumaili family, actually the language that is often used is English. English and Indonesian are used interchangeably. Sometimes Pretty's father would insert Dutch vocabulary, remembering Dutch blood in Pretty's father's veins.

"It was Mom who said that. But, if you start to like older men, well Mommy can what. As long as you are happy, Mommy is happy. Oh, you're an adult. You are twenty-two. You know better which one is best for you." Mommy began to chatter at length. This is what Pretty avoided.

"Curl..." Pretty confused what to answer. Likes older men, indeed the middle of Pretty feel. Not with Lani either. Pretty seems to fall for Aji. Aji is arguably older than Pretty. It was seen from the appearance of Aji who was so kampungan.

"Are Mommy's allegations? No need to be ashamed. You know for yourself, Daddy and Mommy are ten years old. The age difference is not a big deal for Daddy and Mommy. Anyway, as long as Pretty is happy with Pretty's choice, Mommy supports it. Mommy hasn't seen you date before either."

At Lani's house, though,

"Kowe is dhisik. Kowe mambu crew. Mengko kowe nganggo klambine my son sing again wae mlebu Junior High School. Podo wae, kowe is the same as him." said Lani who offered her first child's clothes who had just sat in the seventh grade.

Aji accepted it confusedly. "Died? Nanging, kene ora ana time."

Lani didn't seem to have heard wrong. Amused also him, but there is a sense of annoyance as well. His master's son introduced him to the people from which village? Was this Aji taken from a remote area of Indonesia?

"Ora ono kali and kene. Kowe in the bathroom. Wanna?"

"Bathroom?" Aji is confused. "My what?"

"Tuh-" Lani pointed to a small room in the corner of the house. "-I name'e bathroom. Ing ngendi we have you. Ojo kakehan takon hotel. Mumet iki me."

Aji nodded and saw the middle-aged man grunt just like that - leaving Aji who was still confused. What is the way to bathe in this world, Aji thought. Replace the confused Aji.
