"You haven't been here in a long time, Le." Said the middle-aged woman while tidying up some plants in her yard on a young man who arrived to come to her.

"How are you? Where have you been?" The woman continued, now a smile appeared on her face.

"Sorry, Mom. At the end of the day, I am a little busy. So I just got home now." The young man then.

The middle-aged woman then smiled, then walked towards the water faucet, washed her hands, wiped them, then took the young man to sit on the porch floor of the house.

"Have you met your sister, Le?" Ask the woman later.

The young man slightly turned his head and developed his smile, "Have it, Mom. I don't want to talk about that yet." The young man then followed.

"What did you cook today? I happen to be hungry, when I came here I had no time for breakfast. Emm, besides that I miss mom's cooking too." Said the young man later.

"Today I didn't get to the market, Le. And there was some leftover vegetables yesterday. Honey if it's not spent, wong's mom's also just alone." The middle-aged woman.

"What's the creep, Mom?" Asked the young man as if he was really hungry right now.

"Don't Lombok, Le." The woman then.

"Well, it fits, ma'am. Do not santen wayu just delicious it. I'm getting hungry, Mom." The young man seemed excited.

"Well then, you wash your hands there first. Get dusted off the streets, no good, a lot of germs." Said the middle-aged woman then.

The young man immediately got up from his seat and walked towards the water faucet, after washing his hands and wetting his face, he immediately followed the middle-aged woman into the house.

The young man immediately took the plate and poured some rice. Quite a lot indicates that he is really hungry.

"Well, that's delicious, Mom. It's about the champion's mother's cooking." Praise the young man to the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman simply smiled, "Have, eat first, not while talking if you eat, it will sprain."

The young man only grinned as he continued to chew the food in his mouth.

"Slow down if you eat, Le." Said the middle-aged woman looking at the young man's way of eating.

"I miss my mother's cooking. Things I've never met out there are, Mom. Don't santen." The young man was still chewing the food in his mouth.

The middle-aged woman just smiled again.

Finished eating the young man then lit his cigarette and sat leaning against the wooden kitchen chair.

"So what about my question?" Ask the middle-aged woman then.

The young man gasped slightly, as if indifferently he then smoked his cigarette deeply.

"How, Le? You haven't answered what I asked you just now?" Press the middle-aged woman then.

The young man sighed, "Which question, ma'am?" Her question flipped even though she actually knew what the middle-aged woman was asking.

The middle-aged woman shook her head, "Have you met your sister?" The question repeats the question at the beginning.

"Oh, about that." The young man sounded lazy.

"So how?" The middle-aged woman further cornered the young man.

"What about, Mom?" The young man seemed to want to flip back the question of the middle-aged woman.

"Have you met your sister?" Repeat the middle-aged woman once again.

The young man sighed again, he realized he was free to avoid the question of the middle-aged woman.

"Yes, Mom. It's." Already." Sahut the young man.

The middle-aged woman smiled, "You're lying to mom right?" Urge the woman after getting an answer from the young man.

"Lied how, Mom?" Sahut the young man.

"If you already know why you're still asking?" The young man sounded heavy.

The middle-aged woman smiled hearing the young man's rebuttal.

"Le, once your grandfather was just a traveling salesman, that's what he took from people, not his own. But behind that, he was a very capable cantrik. He was the pride of Kyai in your place of solstice used to be a science. Gradually, your soberness began to be recognized his ability, then people began to know him, he was finally appointed to be Modin. Well, it started there. Your grandfather then knew your grandmother. Sewage your daughter then fell in love with Simbah kakungmu, while at that time Simbah kakungmu already have a wife. A mistake made by your daughter's widow, which is to fall in love with someone's husband. But in fact, your grandfather's first wife, the mother of your father, actually let your grandfather marry your grandmother. Unfortunately, the dhemu sir who was a teenager at that time could not just accept the marriage of your grandfather and grandmother who then made him leave the house even until the end of your grandfather's life, mr. Dhemu never wanted to see your grandfather again. That's the regret of Kakung also Sewage your daughter. That's why almost all that you have, he left it to his colleagues to then be handed over to the more entitled dhemu sir." Said the middle-aged woman then.

The young man sighed, "How many times have you told me that, Mom?" The young man's.

The middle-aged woman smiled as she looked at the young man, "This story will be repeated until you understand, Le."

"understand? Understand what else, Mom? I have not understood all this time either. Even I still accept him as a big brother even though he doesn't know that." Refute the young man.

The middle-aged woman again smiled, "No, Le. Before mom sees him admitting you as his cousin's sister. I assume you don't understand." Said later.

"Ah, mom. Why does his confession about our relationship mom associate with me understand or not. That has absolutely nothing to do, right, ma'am?"

The woman again smiled as she looked at the young man, "Why do you say begiu, because all this you who understand is not him." He said while patting the young man on the knee.

The young man sighed then bowed while playing the cigarette in his hand.

"Don't smoke too much, Le. Especially coffee. Cigarettes and coffee are not good for your health. Njai you better go on. After all, Sumpah kakungmu also expect a lot from you." The middle-aged woman's words shifted the conversation realizing that the young man was starting to get desperate at this time.

"Smoking and coffee is my job, ma'am. Najai is a hobby. I'll take it easy." The young man then.

"You are what you are, Le. Nasehati really right you are just so ugly." The middle-aged woman this time seemed annoyed by the young man's reply.

"Why, Mom? Is something wrong?" The young man without feeling guilty.

"Where, the naji is dipenke, Le. Ora gur sewates. Don't be fooled by the world, you'll get lost." Firmly so the woman then.

"Mother was wrongly arrested. The point of my words is not so, ma'am." The young man tried to explain.

"Not so piye? Wong was obviously all you were. It even says the mother was wrongfully arrested." The woman seemed increasingly upset by the young man's attitude.

"Mom, why do I say smoking and coffee is a job while naji is a hobby, it's because the job is limited to age, Mom. There is no lasting work. Whether the ability, whether the will, whether the demands of age, boredom, there will certainly be a period of cessation. While a hobby, whether it can't be anything else, the name of the hobby will still be a hobby, Mom. A fun activity, which will not cause boredom. If you're bored, it's not a hobby, Mom. Just a raging collapse. Leaning to the left falls to the left, leaning to the right falls to the right. No standpoint. Thok, different from hobby." The young man finally explained at length.

Hearing that the middle-aged woman was a bit stunned, her facial expression as if in disbelief the word came out from the young man.

"It turns out you've grown up, Le." Said the woman softly, her voice sounded heavy, even now her gaze was not as firm as before, there was a clear circle now appeared to start inundating the eyelids of the manita.

"Mom, life has taught me a lot about how to live, what is life, what life should be like. Your little baby that you used to carry anywhere, can already walk alone, Mom. He had stopped crawling let alone walking. Your little baby is now able to run and even jump." Said the young man while curling his lips.

"Dispose mom's worries." The young man added.

"Yes, you're right, Le. Maybe you're too worried." The middle-aged woman said then, now there was a smile back on her face.

"Mother remember? When I was a kid, my mom always told me to take a nap. Even when I easily fell asleep, so long I took a nap at that time. Mom would be very proud and would not be bored mom told me proud just because of my nap in those days. But try it now, if I'm in broad daylight sleeping. Mother will only scold me completely, call me a slacker, this is it." The young man looked grumbling.

The middle-aged woman then simply laughed at the young man's ravings.

"I'm sorry, Le. I forgot that you are an adult. Not only your age, but also your way of thinking. Everything you have on you." Said the middle-aged woman then.

"Hmmm, Mum. Whatever adult I am now. But I still need my mother's guidance as my single parent. The only family I have right now." The young man said softly with a stifled voice at the end of his speech.

The woman simply smiled, her eyes slipping back this time. He did not want his memory back to the man, the man who left him to live alone with his only child.

"You'd better go see your brother, Le." Said the middle-aged woman again switching the conversation while getting up from her seat.

The young man only then nodded. He was well aware of the middle-aged woman's expression. However, she was the only middle-aged woman's family now, she was the only middle-aged daughter. He never knew his father, the only one he had from his father was a necklace made of stigi wood.

For a moment he looked at the necklace pendulum he always hid. For a moment he smiled, after which he sighed.

"Yes, maybe it's time."
