17. New Home

"Adel let's go in. Let's see the house."

I also walked past Zaki who was smiling looking at me. It seems like he is also happy to see that I can be comfortable with this new place. Mom opened the door and my gaze broke looking at the house which although small but already feels very comfortable. Wall cet with color to brass is also still good. Not my favorite color.

"Sorry Del we live in a smaller house than before. We have to save, right?." Mom looked at me and smiled. Then look around again. The living room is only 3x4 M. After all we rarely receive guests because me and Mom are not too much sodara.

"Mother Adel was grateful we could live together. Pray that Adel will have a good job and a lot of money to buy a bigger house, huh?" I held Mom's hands. My mother smiled back at my words.

"Let's put the stuff down. Hunting malem." Mom's back out of the house. But suddenly a group of people came to our house. I walked to the back of my mother's body and held her shoulder.

"Mom, what do they want. How much is that. Adel's afraid of Mom. Did we make a mistake?" I was nervous and afraid of people who were already in the courtyard of the house. While Zaki stood in line with Mother.

"Assalamu'alaikum my ma'am Mamat RT here."

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Yes sir, but what is it. It's crowded. Did we do something wrong?" She asked a little nervously as well.

"Oh that's not so Mom. We want to help Mom get her things off the car. It just so happened that Mr. Rudi had the same report that there would be new residents in our village. So I gathered these fathers to help Mom and the family." Said Mr. RT.

"God." Answer me with Mom.

"I'm nervous sir sorry I thought a no-no earlier. Let's please. Thank you very much." Mom breathed a sigh of relief before being both nervous.

Because lowering the goods from the car is helped by the residents so it only takes no more than 10 minutes all that is in the car has entered the house.

"I am very grateful Mr. RT and the people have helped. Sorry I can't give you even a glass of water. I hope we can be good neighbors." Mother lowered her head.

"No ma'am no need to bother we are all happy to take royong. We are happy to have Mom. This house has just been left but someone has bought it." Answer Mr. RT. "Well because it's finished then we say it's time to pray magrib." ahirnya Pak RT and the other fathers left. The car that drove us also left.

We also went in the house. Zaki is no exception.

"Rest first Del." Said Mother. "Oiya Nak Zaki how did you get home?" I asked Zaki.

"I've asked the driver to pick up Aunt so there's no need to worry." Answer Zaki.

"Thank God then. Sorry Nak Zaki can pray in mushola the state of his house is still a mess at home like this." I asked Zaki to go to the mosque with the fathers.

"Yes my aunt thinks so too. I went to Mushola first." Zaki walked towards the mosque not far from my house.

"Mother Adel's room ahead of this." I walked into the room next to the living room.

"Yes Del. Isn't it narrower than your previous room?" Mom looks sad.

"No, papa ma'am. Oiya sir Rudi here tomorrow Buk?" I switched my conversation with Mom.

"Looks like. It's also not possible Mr. Rudi far here at night."

"Sir Rudi can do, Ma'am, buy a nice house?"

"Mother who asked to be found in a beautiful area like this. But I did not expect to get a very nice house not to mention Mr. RT and friendly neighbors like that."

"Yes, Mom, we're so lucky." I hugged Mom again.

"Mom wants to pray first. You clean up the room later so Zaki can help enter the heavy."

Derr....

Zaki surprised me. He just suddenly came without making the slightest sound.

"Jail here?" I said a little bit to Zaki.

"Hmmm... Can anyone help the beautiful lady?" Zaki started teasing me.

"There's a lot of it." I'm still crashing.

"If the snack is more cute know."

"That's why you're making gregetan." I hit Zaki on the shoulder.

We even teased each other, while Mom was still busy in the kitchen cleaning cooking utensils.

I'm done cleaning my room, of course, because of Zaki's help. I can lift the bed and the table by myself.

From the room we went to the living room and arranged the sofa and table. We are not done yet, there is a sound of the car. That means Zaki's driver has come to pick up.

"You'll go home, Auntie's worried." I told Zaki to come home because this too has passed Isa'. "Make it up to help." I gave my sweetest smile to Zaki before he came home.

"She's beautiful." Zaki replied with a smile. "Tante Zaki wants to go home first?" Zaki said goodbye to Mom and kissed the back of Mom's hand. "Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam." Answer me and Mom.

Zaki walked towards the car that picked him up. Slowly leave my yard.

"Mom Zaki is good, right?" Ask Mom and close the door.

"Yes. You really like her."

"Sure saka ma'am."

"Mom doesn't want you to be a boyfriend. I'm scared like the bad news. Moreover, I know you are still very traumatized by the incident at that time. That's also why we moved house."

"Yes Adel tau. But Adel will take good care of himself ma'am. Pray for the best Adelia, ma'am." I sulked while hugging Mom again.

"of course. I always wish you the best." Mom stroked my hair. "Now we should rest there's a lot we have to do tomorrow." Mom let go of her embrace and looked at me.

"Yes, Mom." I went to my room too.

It's so cold tonight. I was standing behind the window. I opened my curtains a little to see the outside. There are still some people passing by. The moon and stars are invisible. Looks like it's gonna rain tonight. I tidied my curtains and went to bed. I pull the blanket and shut.
