10. The Zaki House

"Assalamu'alaikum mah Zaki's coming home. Mamma…. Zaki's home…!" Zaki shouted to his mama. Zaki's house is so big. Naturally he needed a scream in this house.

"Please sit down, Del. I want to go back first maybe my mama again ngurus taneman so not horrified my call." Zaki pointed at a blue sofa. I walked over to Zaki's sofa and sat looking at this nice house. When the party a lot of decorations so can not see the original living room measuring about 10 meters.

I was also stunned to see the swimming pool whose water is sea blue. Really invited me to swim there. I look around too. There are many photos on display. I put my foot in a very interesting photo. Yes, it was Zaki's younger sister. So cute and beautiful is very similar to his mother. Zaki must be very sad to lose his daughter.

I sat on the couch again. Afraid to steal later.

It didn't take long for Zaki to call his mama.

"I'm sorry son Adelia was Aunt again nyiram plant behind. Long time to wait." Zaki's mother came up to me and hugged me affectionately.

"Same Maafin Aunt Om yes because I didn't Dateng to your father's funeral. Yesterday it just so happened that her grandmother Zaki was also in the hospital so we couldn't attend." Definitely Aunt Dian.

"Grandpa Aunty. Thanks for the attention." I feel bad for thinking strangely. Lightly cook the longest and disciplined employees like the Boss Father did not come. I hope it wasn't this family that ran over my dad.

"You talk to Zaki. Soon Om Dateng said there's something to talk about your father."

"Why don't you tell me Mom's too?" I wonder why I'm the only one who's called if it's all Dad-related.

"You're enough. He said it's not good for your mother because yesterday it wasn't. So Om asked Zaki to take you home. Aunty to the back first yes want to finish the work of Aunt."

"Makasi Tan's…!" Not finished I spoke Aunt Dian smilingly nodding and turning away towards the back of the house.

"Let's sit Del you like to drink juice I made you first ya wait here." Said Zaki while putting his bag on the chair that was used since the school.

"You know I like juice." Ask me wonder.

"I used to see you order juice in the cafeteria so I thought you liked the juice. Avocados right?" Zaki's question convinced me.

"Yes, thank you Zak."

"Okey wait a minute."

Zaki also headed for the Kitchen.

Indeed, in a house this big there is no maid until she makes her own avocado juice.

My view shifted. Still to a big swimming pool out there. I looked up and imagined swimming there.

"Hey... Do you want to swim?" Zaki was suddenly behind me and patted me on the shoulder.

"Eh, you just want to get in. Do not be just amazed if you have a large swimming pool that must be cool can swim anytime."

"Well, if I'm sad or angry, I always spend my time in that pool. I was the one who asked for a big swimming pool."

Bremm.. bremm…!

The sound of the car outside. Yes, it was Zaki's father.

"Assalamu'alaikum.!" Zaki's father enters the house and hugs Zaki.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" answered me and Zaki simultaneously.

"Back off Pah?" Ask Zaki

"I want to see Adelia." Answer Zaki's father

"Thank you Om." I nodded flattered with a word from Father Zaki.

"Just go to the room first. Drink the juice first. It must be Zaki's own." While pointing at the avocado juice still held by Zaki Zaki's father smiled and passed.

"It's Del cobain my own handmade juice." Zaki thrust out a slender glass.

'This glass of rich people mah.' I murmured.

"Hmmm.. yummy zak pas very sweet. You also like the juice anyway why bother making your own is indeed you have no helpers?" Ask me while sipping back Zaki's avocado juice.

"Hukk…"

I choked on hearing that Zaki had 15 maids at her house.

"Slowly Del." Zaki panicked and picked up a tissue to wipe my mouth. But I took it straight away.

"Let me just." Stop me

"Why Del." Zaki's father appeared in a panic to see me coughing.

"You know Pah suddenly choked on maybe the juice is not good enough Pah." Obviously Zaki because I haven't really managed to catch my breath.

"Sit down first Del. Breathe in and drink again." Aunt Dian said while holding my hand.

"Ehemm.. thanks Tan udan better this was just shocked by Zaki's words." Obviously I was embarrassed.

"What did you say Zak." Ask Zaki's Dad.

"Oh Zaki said that ART here is 15 people Pah."

"Hahaha so because of that." Zaki's father laughed out loud at Zaki's explanation.

"Is it okay, Adel?" Said Zaki's mother

"Have Tan."

"So gini Del. Om would like to apologize for not being able to attend the funeral of Mr. Winata. Om is so sorry. Mr. Winata is an exemplary employee. And has been working in the office for a long time. So this is 25 million in condolences from the office for your father."

"God" I shouted in shock at the number so many.

"Please accept, son Adel, we're really very sorry we couldn't come." Added Zaki's mother.

"Alhamdulillah Om Aunt thank you very much this money Adelia received. But isn't this too much Om."

"Of course not. Hopefully this money can help the needs of your mother who is only a housewife. I know your mother. She's just a no-education but your mother's a good person at adjusting anything. It must have been hard to be left behind by her husband." Obviously Zaki's Dad.

"Yes, Adel, just accept this money is not much for us. If you take it hard enough to respond with prayers for our family." Zaki's mother stroked my back. I looked at the loving mother in front of me. Then I hugged.

"Thank you very much Om Aunt may this money be a blessing and the family of Om and Aunt are always happy in the protection of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala."

"Aamiinu. Then you're here first, we'll have dinner together." Zaki's mother let go of my hug as if taking me to dinner. But honey, I'm not happy with Mom. Kasian, too, if I go home last night.

"Sorry Om Tan, Adelia's coming home. Kasian mom herself home. I must have made food for Adelia."

"Well, you should come with us for dinner sometime. Apologize Om and Aunt to your mother. Let it be in the same room Mr. Tejo." Father Zaki said.

"Zaki wants to join Adel, Mah Pah." Zaki.

"Yes, come along." Zaki's father said he accepted Zaki's request.

"If so Adelia please excuse me first, Om Aunt thank you once again. Assalamu'alaikum." I kissed Father and Mother Zaki's hands. Then walk out.

Zaki opened the car door for me. I was embarrassed to get in the car. Zaki ran to the next door and sat next to me while Tejo's pack had been ready for the car ever since.

"The driver changed Zak again." Ask Zaki

"It matters until your home. You'll choke again if I explain. Let's go sir." Zaki smiled looking at me.
