Drrt! Drrt!
Yani, who had just finished getting dressed after taking a shower, immediately turned her attention towards her cellphone which was placed on the television table. He approached her and saw who was calling her.
Mother is calling...
"Hello, Mum. Assalamualaikum!" yani answered her mother's call.
"Vaalaikumsalam. Where are you, son?"
"Yani's home, Mom. Why?"
"It's okay, mom just calls. Kangen."
Yani smiled warmly. Apparently, her mother missed her. "How's mother's news? Healthy?"
"Thank God be healthy, son. Are you and your family healthy there?"
"Alhamdulillah be healthy and everything is here, ma'am."
"Thank God."
"Where else is your mother?"
"Mother's at home with your sister. Here's another ice cendol."
"Well, that's delicious. Mother fasting?"
"Yes, it's starting today's fast."
"Oh that, thank God that you are healthy and can still run a fast."
"Alhamdulillah, Son."
"Oh yes, Bang Herman asked, when will I come here again? For a long time, I didn't come back here anymore" asked Yani who recalled the conversation this morning with Herman.
"Wow, I don't know when you can go there anymore, Yan. You are here also later after Lebaran, want to harvest cloves."
"Mother is there?"
"Hmm, look first, then. I want a lebaran where. You want to be here or there."
"Yes, I haven't been here since I left for a long time. Though here the family in the same kangen mother."
"Hehe, yes-yes. Later if there is an empty time, I will go back there while bringing souvenirs." he replied making Yani smile.
"You're the same Herman is fine, aren't you, son?"
Yani grinned confused for a moment. "Well, I'm like Bang Herman just fine, Mom."
It sounded like the whispering voice of a person whose mother was doing with someone. But Yani doesn't know who it is. "Mom? Who's mom there?"
"Oh, I'm talking to your sister. Thank goodness Herman is okay. Yasudah that way, I turn off the phone first. I want to shower."
"Oh yes, Mom. Take care of your health there, ma'am."
"Surely, Son."
"Assynnya!"
"Glamma!"
Tut!
Yani turns off the connection and then keeps his phone on the television table. He was a little confused when his mother asked about him and Herman. However, Yani did not think about that trivial thing. He chose to go to the kitchen to cook vegetables. The vegetables he made last day had been eaten by his children so Yani had to make a new vegetable menu for later tonight. The plan he will make vegetable coconut milk his favorite and husband who will also be eaten by children.
However, when Yani was cutting some bitter melon vegetables, he patted his eel as if he forgot. "Gosh, I forgot the food."
Yani stood intending to buy coconut milk packaging at the front stall. When shopping at the market earlier, he had checked and convinced everyone that his shopping had been bought all through his memory. However, he forgot if you want to make vegetable coconut milk must require coconut milk to be the main ingredient in the manufacture.
"How much is everything, Ran?" yani asked as she bought kara coconut milk at Rani's shop near her house.
"4 thousand," answered Rani. Yani hands over the 5 thousand and waits for his return.
"You fasted, Ran?" ask Yani when she receives her change.
"Fasting dong" answered Rani.
"No, Bang Yadi intends to fast today from yesterday. Let him be full 30 days of fasting."
Yani nodded in understanding. "Keep opening what later?"
"You make banana ijo same jalangkote later. Just this morning abis shopping at the market buy one comb banana," said Rani.
"Lho, you were abis from the market this morning? How can we not meet, huh? Last morning I was with Bang Herman from the shopping market, too" asked Yani in surprise.
"Maybe not squirming times yes, because busy shopping," answered Rani.
Start the two engaged in mother-mother chat on the front porch of Rani's shop. As a neighbor, Yani used to come to Yani's shop and invite the owner to chat random things. You know what, mothers when they gather why? :v
"Eh, Dan. What are you buying?" sentak Rani sees someone behind Yani. Yani frowned then looked back.
"You buy salt, Ran."
"How much?"
"One pack only."
Rani got up and went into the shop. While Yani fell silent in disbelief if the arrival of someone who was in front of him made him freeze. He did not expect if he saw the existence of Dana in the village at this time. Shouldn't Dana be in Kalimantan? Then why is he suddenly here? thought Yani.
Then Yani thought again and immediately understood why there was Dana here. Every entering the month of Ramadan, Dana often returns home to be able to gather with family to enjoy the holy month of Ramadan. If Dana's whereabouts are here, it means Nana's coming home with her husband.
"When will he go home, Dan?" ask Yani.
"Yesterday afternoon, Ma'am." Dana answered so Yani nodded in understanding.
Yani and Dana look in an awkward state at the moment. Despite the affair committed by their partner. However, still they were confused to react if the two met after the incident they confided in each other. Although they are only victims of Herman and Nana, Yani and Dana seem to be in a state of embarrassment and awkward if the two cross paths at this time.
After that Rani came out while carrying Dana's order in a crackle bag and handed it to Dana. "More."
Dana received the bag and handed the money to Rani. "Come, Ma'am," said Dana then turned back home.
"When's Dana coming home?" ask Rani and sit next to Yani.
"Yesterday afternoon he said," Yani replied as she looked at Dana's back who was walking far away.
...~~~...
"Wana?!" said Herman was surprised to find the figure of a woman he knew was in front of him.
The same goes for the woman who is called Nana. The woman swallows the saliva and is confused about having to do something when she meets her ex-husband (although it remains illegitimate). Though his intention to stop by the stall to buy milk after his trip from the ATM. However, he did not expect if he met Herman in this shop.
"Excuse me, Bang." Nana got off the bike and went into the stall. It's his responsibility to meet Herman. So, Nana decided to continue her intention to enter the stall regardless of Herman's whereabouts there.
While Herman himself was still surprised while staring at the back of Nana who was shopping there. He had no idea that he would see Nana again this time. Isn't Nana in Borneo with Dana? Then why is that woman here? herman wondered.
"You're here, Na?" ask stupid Herman. Already knew Nana was in front of him, but, why did he ask like that?_-!
"Yes, Bang," answered Nana after coming out of the stall and facing Herman again.
"When did you come back here?" herman asked to see Nana who had been riding her bike.
"Yesterday, Bang." Nana answered flatly without looking at Herman and started to turn on the engine.
"First, Bang," said Nana and began to advance his bike leaving Herman speechless on the spot.
Herman looked at Nana's back which started to disappear behind the corner. Herman still couldn't believe that he could ever see that woman again. However, he thought again if Nana came back here with her husband and Nizam who will welcome the month of Ramadan with her family. That means Nana will be here for the rest of Lebaran and will come with her husband again? thought Herman.
I don't know if Herman doesn't know if Nana will stay here or come back with Dana to go to Kalimantan.
Herman got into his car and started running the engine of the car trying to chase after Nana who had walked away. After finding a black motorbike driven by Nana, Herman walked slowly behind Nana without the woman knowing.
After the two had been in the village, Nana turned towards the entrance hallway of her home road. Herman saw all that and continued his car until he reached his house not far from the hallway.
Suddenly a thin curvature came out on his lips after stopping the car in his parking lot. Somehow his heart was so happy when he saw Nana was here and saw her straight away. Herman wanted to meet with Nana one more time and invited her to have a casual chat. But can it be? While Nana herself looks like away from him when she meets him.
Argghh!!!
Herman ruffled his hair in frustration thinking about it all. He should go down and take a bath refreshing his body that feels sticky after sweating.
...~~~...
Happy fasting for those who run it, guys!
