Because Amen is the Same

Because Amen is the Same
19. Feeling Ignored


"Oh" Ahmad responded while nodding., "You want me to take a tour of this restaurant, in the corner there is a dining table facing the fountain" pointed Ahmad.


"Can you try? But there's one request, shall you?" Ask Viona carefully.


"Just relax, we are bestie" Ahmad said kindly.


Ray heard that, sighing harshly.


"Say, like. Basic" he muttered irritatedly and accidentally the shells fell on his plate.


Ahmad and Viona spontaneously see Ray. Ray looked at Ahmad with a sharp look.


Ahmad immediately invited Viona with Ray to see what he showed earlier.


"Let's go there" Ahmad said.


"Ekhem, still eating. Sinning is a waste of food" Ray said of origin but in a hot heart and as if the horn was about to come out.


"Kayak has resto only" he murmured again.


Viona only realizes Ray's change after offending the food.


"Whenever I see, it's not good to leave food" Viona refused and was not nice to Ray.


"Oh yes. Put my contacts on your phone to stay on the phone" Ahmad said again while showing people calling.


"I almost forgot, 0822 xxxx xxxx" Viona said while inserting Ahmad's number in her phone, "thank you yes" She said.


"Yes, equally. I have to get on with work. Assalamualaikum" pamit Ahmad.


"Wa'alaikumussalam" replied Viona.


"Wa'alaikumussalam, yes the cost of marriage is now expensive so must be diligent work" replied Ray with a little offending.


Ahmad ignored Ray's remarks, for him it is not important because meeting with Viona alone is happy.


Ahmad continued to work and here because he owned the restaurant, then he only monitored the performance of his employees.


"For table number 20 do not pay yes, just say someone has paid" said Ahmad and he left.


While Viona and Ray continue to eat, but Ray's mood was disturbed so that until now he chose to be quiet.


"Ray, do you like seafood?" Viona asked because she saw Ray eating non-stop.


"Yes, just eat raw" replied Ray lazily.


Viona rounded her eyes, "Right Ray?" Ask seriously.


"Yes Viona" Ray replied again as he continued eating.


"Seriously?"


"I'm two serious ones"


Viona chooses to be quiet after hearing Ray's answer, because she thinks it makes no sense.


"Hurry, we'll just go home" Ray said again.


"Later finished the rice one basket just returned home"


"Buset, you're all. I've been eating clam shells since"


"Mutual help"


"Remove, I'm gonna wash my hands first" Pamit Ray then went to wash my hands.


Viona made sense for the food to run out quickly.


"Stupidly, I had Ahmad's contact. Ask her for help" said Viona, typing on her phone, "done" she continued after she pressed the send button on her phone.


Ray just sat across the table with Viona, Ahmad's man has come.


"What's this?" Ray asked confusedly.


"They want to spend this seafood" replied Viona, "please sit down and execute" he said to the four men.


Ray saw it was just resigned, he told Viona to spend the seafood just playfully not up from the heart.


The four people after being invited by Viona directly ate the food without stopping until it ran out and according to Viona it was great.


"This restaurant is good, Ray, if you can't afford to eat there's a special team to help you, like I am right now" whispered Viona proudly and Ray raised only one eyebrow.


"Where is it like that" his monologue doesn't believe.


According to him, it makes no sense there are restaurants that provide special services to help spend food, it's strange and rare.


"I'm not interested to be discussed, because it's over so we go home" Ray said as he held Aqua the bottle.


Viona only rolled when her eyes were lazy and got up from her seat. They're headed for the cashier.


"Is there money?" Viona asked jokingly.


"There" he replied to Viona, "How much is everything for table number 20?" Ask after reaching the cashier.


"For table 20 already paid mas" replied the cashier.


"Masa? I'm just gonna pay for this" Ray doesn't believe.


"Yes, I've been paid" he explained again so that Ray believes and is sure.


"Thank you, ma'am" Viona said.


Ray immediately left after hearing Viona's words to visit the parking lot.

The day quickly passed without any guilt. Surprised to the explorers, the pace was not over by noon.


Evening connoisseurs begin to wait to see small gems in the sky just to entertain themselves or just a hobby.


Hobbies?, a person's hobby is different but not a few people who are overwhelmed by confusion by staring at the sky as if the burden on his back is light.


The little girl Viona is one of the night-loving creatures of the earth, I don't know what she sees but it feels peaceful just looking at the stars in the sky.


"Things that can not be achieved, but can be stared as much as possible are stars. Aahh, star why are you so beautiful with your flickering flickering" Lirih Viona while looking at the stars in the sky.


Staring at the sky did set eyes to appease the soul, which is why Viona likes a quiet night away from the noise of human activity.


Still enjoying the solitude of sophisticated flat objects on the table beside her chair the sound of incoming messages, Viona ignored. Not long shaking the sign of an incoming call, he was still lazy to look at it.


Heti's mother came with a glass of milk and her cake jar.


"Here" he said, keeping it on the table.


Viona glanced at him at a glance, "thank you, mam, but I'm a cake that's lazy to drink milk"


"Udah was delivered, grateful" Mother Heti reminded her daughter.


Viona immediately sang, "Thank God"


Heti's mother immediately pulled the head of her daughter.


"Serious mom"


"Sama ma.. eh know mam, why are stars at night not during the day?"


"When the day is covered with sunlight"


"Wrong"


"Because the stars decorate the sky at night instead of during the day"


Viona shook her head softly, "wrong ma"


"Oh mama knows, because if that day there are animals not stars"


"It's still wrong but it's approaching"


"What's this?" Rifal asked curiously to hear the sound of Viona and Heti's mother near the middle window with a sitting position outside the house or balcony of the house.


"Jawab Rifal, mama is confused he replied.


But the mother suspected, must be the wits of this child" suspicious Heti's mother to Viona


Viona advances her body to be closer to Heti's mother, "the bad assumption is mam's sin" he said.


"Ehh.. It's a child" replied Heti's mother and spontaneously hit her son's arm slowly.


Rifal saw his sister and mother were engrossed in the story, he decided to join. He rarely joins the story since he was busy working.


"Less Yes!" Heti's Mother.


"Yes, when are you coming back, Yesi?" Ask Viona. He could not wait for his brother's return.


"Next week"


"Good, I wait for Yesi's promise" Viona said.


"What promise deck?" Ask Rifal.


"Secret" Viona replied and turned to her mother, "i'll go in first" she said.


"Yes" replied Heti's mother.


"How's Lea?" Ask his son.


"Lea, it's near 7 monthly bun events"


"When?" Ask mother Heti enthusiastically.


"Front month dong mam"


"Oh, where's Lea's seven-monthly event?"


"Here, where else?" Ask Rifal.


"Maybe Lea's own home"


Rifal thought for a moment, "yes too yeah, I'll ask Lea mam, where she wants"


"Yes, I'm waiting"


"Ok bun, go in mam" Rifal asked.


"Yes"


They also entered the house.

The morning sun has been seen from the direction of its rise, as usual a sign of the earth creature is ready to return to activity.


"Ainun, wake up son. Take a shower and have breakfast before school" Heti's mother wakes up her granddaughter.


"Sir, when's mom coming home?" Ainun asked after waking up from his sleep.


"Next week"


Ainun immediately stood up and jumped on the bed, "Yee, mother back"


"Mandiin nek" Ask Ainun to his grandmother spoiled.


Heti's mother went straight to the bathroom bathing Ainun. After Ainun finished bathing, Mother Heti dried her grandson's hair using a small towel. Then wear his school uniform and do not forget to wear bando.


"Honey, to the dining table, yes, there's Aunt Lea, grandma to Aunt Vio's room first" she told the granddaughter.


"Yes Grandma" Ainun replied and exited his room.


Heti's mother went to Viona's room and there the master was still sleeping struggling with his thick blanket.


"Jeez, this is a child" muttered Heti's mother as she pulled Viona's blanket.


"Viona, wake. It's noon already" he said.


"For mager ma" Viona replied with an unchanged position and eyes still closed.


"Ainun is waiting for the table to eat."


Viona improved her sleeping position by turning her back to her mother.


"Mager ma, mama used to drive Ainun today" he said and fell asleep again in his sleep.


"God is asleep again" said Hethi's mother to Viona's regular roar of breath.


Heti's mother came out of her youngest child's room to the dining table. And there Ainun had not eaten.


"Why haven't you eaten, baby?" Ask Hethi's mother to her grandson.


Ainun swept his lips by pushing the fried rice away from him.


"Bribery aunt?" Ask Lea.


Ainun shook his head.


"When does Grandma want a bribe?, here's Lea's aunt's spoon" said Mother Heti again with at the end of the sentence her voice changed like a child made Ainun laugh.


"Aaaa" said Heti's mother with a spoon of fried rice leading to Ainun.


Ainun even clenched his mouth and shook his head unwillingly.


"Ainun, would you like a bribe?" Rifal asked and Ainun shook his head again.


"Dizziness me ma" Rifal gave up.


"Well Ainun who's gonna bribe?" Ask Lea gently.


"Mother" Ainun replied quickly.


Heti's mother immediately pulled out her phone and called her son.


"Yesi, when are you coming back?" Ask Hethi's mother on the phone.


There were clearly footsteps of Yesi on the phone, "next week ma"


"Can't be accelerated? Ainun won't eat this" said Heti's mother again, "look?" After switching to Video Call.


Yesi saw the gloomy face of her son, whom she had left behind for several months.


"Honey eat yes, mother comes home tomorrow" said Yesi saw her son who did not want to see the screen of his grandmother's phone.


"Haaoommm, mama" Call Viona who doesn't know what happened at the dinner table.


Viona reached the dining table, saw her bangs still silent and turned towards Rifal and Lea.


"Not to the office?" Ask viona.


"Go, this is ready" replied Rifal, assalamualaikum" pamit Rifal followed by Marcelea.


"Wa'alaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh" replied Viona and the mother of Heti together.


Until Rifal's main door came back to his wife.


"Working board first, don't be tired" Rifal reminded his wife.


Marcelea nodded with a smile, "Yes bang, I'm careful on the road"


"Yes, assalamualaikum" said Rifal.


"Wa'alaikumussalam" replied Marcelea.


Rifal got in the car and Marcelea went back to the dining table.

Ainun just arrived at school escorted by the mother of Heti and Viona. Because of the various dramas Ainun did from not wanting to eat until delivered must be his grandmother and aunt, otherwise he cried.


"This time it's mama who intersects Ainun ya" said Viona at the wheel.


"Yes, wait here, okay?"


"Yes mam" replied Viona.


Heti's mother drove Ainun to the front of the class, it turned out that even the front of her class was still there.


"Love" Heti's mother said to her granddaughter.


Ainun had no response in the least. Stay put, that's what he did.


"Ainun, your friends have entered class" said Mother Heti again.


Ainun looked at his grandmother then returned his eyes looking in the classroom.


Mother Heti saw that directly back asking her grandson again.


"Why baby?" Ask Mother Heti again slowly and gently.


"Temanin Nek" he said after a long silence.


"Yes, go to class, grandma wait outside" Heti and Ainun's mother nodded with a smile and entered the classroom.


Heti's mother was looking for a seat not far from Ainun's class. He sat there and called his son Yesi to come home soon.


On the other hand, Viona is waiting stupidly in the car. Her mother came out of the gates of Ainun school.


"Well, what's the story or what? Just call me again" he said while calling the Mother.


"Well busy" said Viona again, "send a message only time" he continued.


"Ainun hasn't been in mam class yet? Tired of it" Viona's message to her mother.


Not so long his message was immediately replied by the mother of Heti.


"Wait for Ainun outside, do not want to be left" replied Mother Heti.


Viona read the message from her mother.


"Sir Yesi, I don't really remember what child" Viona said while looking for her sister's contact.


"Assalamualaikum sis Yesi, when will I go home?" Viona asked to the point on the phone.


It was clear in Viona's ear that Yesi was currently busy.


"This is again prepare souvenirs to take home" replied Yesi across the phone.


"Oh yes, brother, assalamualaikum" said Viona then turned off the phone.


After calling her sister, she again sent a message to her mother.


"Bun, Viona's gone for a while, if Ainun comes home on the phone."


Viona drove back to Ahmad.V.'s seafood restaurant 15 minutes later, she arrived at the restaurant. Viona again looking for the most comfortable place according to him, which is cornered to avoid the noise of other visitors.


"I want to order what yes" Viona was confused to see a lot of menus.


"May I give you advice?" Ask the waiter who is waiting to write the menu that Viona will order.


"May mbak" replied Viona happily.


"This is a new menu mbak and guaranteed to definitely like" he said while pointing to the picture of the menu


"Safood tour?" Ask Viona to make sure.


"Yes mbak"


"Okay, the message is rice" Viona said with a smile.


"Mbak's drink?"


"Mineral water only, add ice cream"


"Eskrim, I'm sorry there's no ice cream" said the waiter.


"That's it, right" Viona said and took her phone in Ahmad's phone bag.


"Assalamualaikum Mad, how come there's no ice cream?" Viona said on the phone.


"Wa'alaikumussalam, finished Vio" replied Ahmad across the phone while typing.


"Well, I came to eat ice cream. Eh it's over" said Viona again, "wait, Mad, my friend called do not be obeyed, just pause" he continued to pick up the phone from Ray.


"What's Ray?" Viona asked the point because it was not nice waiting for Ahmad.


Ray who was in the workshop immediately looked for the most comfortable seat.


"Kok ask like that?" Ask Ray back.


"To the point" Viona said.


"Where?" Ask Ray.


"In a seafood restaurant, it's old, hungry to eat" Viona told Ray.


"Eehh wait.. wait.. wait... what to eat?" Ask on the phone.


"Eat people, wear it again. Eat the rice. It's been. By" Viona said, then she turned off the unilateral connection.


"Mbak is just that. If it can be accelerated yes, because I'm hungry" said Viona again and the waiter immediately rushed away.


"Mad, you've been eating" Kilah Viona called.


"Okay, assalamualaikum" said Ahmad then he turned off the phone and again contacted the restaurant manager.


"Bring an ice cream mix 3 colors for a new coming woman. As soon as possible, the customer must be made comfortable so that he continues to come" Ahmad said on the phone and then he turned off.


While Ray instead stared at the screen of his phone since Viona turned off the phone unilaterally.


"What about Ahmad?. They are not friends with the name Ahmad, if true? yes, I was ignored because of friends" thought Ray sometimes everywhere if suddenly Viona changed a little.


"Thinking positively Ray" he muttered and returned to his room in the workshop.


"Well, where is Alan now? Why did it disappear from the airport?"


"Is he busy so he doesn't come to the workshop" Ray thought of his only friend who recently didn't go to the workshop anymore.


"Maybe I'll get home, I'll call" he said and took the jacket he used to wear out.


"Jaga workshop yaa" said Ray to his men in the workshop and he went riding his motorcycle.
