Dimas Waiting
Viola Birthday
"Happy birthday dear." said Mama kissed Viola on the forehead and then hugged her daughter tightly.
"Thank you mama" Viola said as he returned his mother's embrace.
Papa is not left behind either. Soon papa approached his only daughter, wished her a happy birthday, then hugged her.
After that, the three prayed in the prayer room.
It has become a habit in the family, if the morning prayers always congregate.
Except for the prayers of zuhr, ashar, magrib and isya, papa Viola always went to the mosque to pray in the mosque.
After the morning prayers, Mama Viola went straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
While his papa is still in the prayer room reading the Quran.
Viola went straight to the middle room to read the textbook.
As he read the book, his phone rang.
He saw a message coming from Fanji Nur Faisal.
It turned out that Fanji or Faisal sent a message that said Happy Birthday Dear,,,,,
Short reply soon. Thanks to Fanji for what he said. That was the short answer he sent.
Since the incident three months ago, Viola had already severed ties with Fanji.
Every Fanji wa Viola, he never reciprocated. And Viola had sent a message to Fanji that said, never bother him again.
At first, Fanji is angry, but because Fanji's message was never responded to by Viola, he never sends a message.
Then Viola continued reading his textbook again.
It has become a habit of Viola, night work or PR, the morning reading textbooks that will be learned later in school.
"Viola ... call papa there. Breakfast is ready" said his mother from the kitchen.
"Yes ma." replied Viola from the living room.
Soon Viola found his papa reading the Quran in the prayer room.
"Pa ... breakfast is ready" Viola told his papa.
"Yes ..bare and go there" said his father, closing the Koran he had just read.
Viola went straight to the kitchen to help her mama clean the dining table.
After breakfast was laid out at the table, his father came.
Then they had breakfast together.
"Let's cook what Vi is for your friend who wants to come" said his mother at breakfast.
"It's up to you, the important thing is not to bother you" replied Viola.
"About how many people came Vi, let mama know prepare it." continued his mama again.
"Only 5 people" replied Viola.
"Fried chicken cookery only, Viola will like fried chicken" said his papa gave the idea.
"It's also papa's idea" Viola said again.
"Where if the side dish is fried chicken and sambal shrimp wet, keep the vegetables anointing. Because as usual if it's your birthday, mama will always distribute rice to neighbors" said her mother.
"Yes ma, it fits. But do not forget the drink yes ma, cold sere water mixed with oranges kasturi. Ouch ... fresh" said Viola happily.
"Okay, I'll make it" said his mother.
Every Viola's birthday, mom always made anointed rice and shared it with the neighbors. So is this year for Viola's 16th birthday.
Arriving at school, Viola told his close friends Adel, Putri, and Nisa to go home from school.
"There's definitely an event for Vi to take us to your house" Nisa said when Viola invited her.
"There's no show. It just so happened that my mom made some rice. You have never played in my house. Tomorrow will be Sunday, so today we can go home for a long time." replied Viola.
Actually Nisa, Adel, and Princess already know that today is Viola's birthday. So they bought a birthday cake for a surprise later.
"Dimas and Reza were also invited by Vi" Adel told Viola.
"Yes, I told them this morning" replied Viola.
Adel smiled with satisfaction at Viola's reply.
Because Adel has a heavy crush on Dimas.
"Cie ... some are happy it seems this" said the Princess as she glanced at Adel.
"Who yes .." said Nisa while taking a glance at Adel.
"You guys are so ashamed of me" said Adel, blushing in shame.
"Don't worry Del, let me take care of it" Nisa said with a smile.
As soon as the school bell rang, Reza rushed out of class. He wanted to quickly find Dimas asking about Viola's invitation to his home.
Once out of class, Dimas was waiting outside.
"Actually there's a show what yes, if Viola invites us to his house" said Reza curious.
"I don't know Za either." replied Dimas.
"Maybe want to know his future son-in-law Mas" said Reza jokingly.
"Maybe." Dimas replied with a laugh.
"But who's the son-in-law here, me or you" Dimas said.
"Take your own guess." replied Reza with a big laugh.
They immediately walked to the gate to meet Viola.
Every time they go home from school, the three of them jump at the school gate.
Until the new school gate they walked home three.
When he reached the gate, Reza and Dimas were astonished because the Viola were invited to not just Reza and Dimas. It turns out that Nisa, Princess and Adel were invited too.
"Let's walk" said Viola after they had all gathered at the gate.
They also immediately took a crowded road to the Viola house.
Viola's house turned out to be quite large. The yard is also wide.
Indeed, the building houses the old building, but still looks good because it may be often treated.
The house was built when Viola's papa was a child, still second grade in Elementary School, Viola explained.
There are mango trees, sapodilla and guava beside his house.
There is also a rambutan tree in the back corner of his house.
In the back yard of his house, there was a vegetable garden.
The front yard of his house is full of flowering bougenville flowers.
All colors are.
While on the front and side terraces are filled with various kinds of flowers.
Mama Viola was diligent in taking care of flowers. Every morning after Viola left for school, her mother took care of her flowers.
Lompong flowers that begin to get dusty are cleaned with a wet cloth.
One by one the leaves are wiped with a wet cloth.
So that the leaves of the lompong flowers look clean and shiny.
Upon arriving at Viola's house, they were greeted by her mama in a friendly manner.
"Let's go inside" said her mother greeting Viola's friends.
"Vi ... we just sit outside, in that joglo" said Adel while pointing at the joglo near the mango tree.
"Yes Vi, it's better, so you can look out" said the Princess added.
"Oh yes ... let Adel can more clearly see the face of Dimas, if it is dark inside, so it is not clear" said Viola while mocking Adel.
Dimas is notoriously shy.
"Thickness is also Vi" Reza said with a smile.
Why am I betrothed to Adel, why not Viola. Though I expected Viola to be my girlfriend, Inner Dimas.
Dimas is shy. Her love for Viola was never revealed. So Viola never knew that Dimas put his heart on her.
They were all invited Viola to sit in a joglo.
"Then I'll get you a drink" Viola said as he walked into her house.
When Viola came in to get a drink, they immediately prepared a birthday cake that had been brought from home.
Reza and Dimas just found out, today's Viola's birthday.
Not how long Viola came out with a drink of cold sere water.
When Viola came out, everyone sang happy birthday songs. Of course Viola was very surprised to get a surprise from his close friends.
"Blow the candle, blow the candle, blow the candle now... ju.. ga, now...ju..ga, now....ju, now...ju..g." all sing together.
Then the candle in every Viola.
After the candle is blown, the birthday cake is cut into pieces.
The princess, Nisa and Adel switch to a Viola toast.
"Now you repeat the person you think is closest, the most meaningful in your life" said the Princess by giving the birthday cake to Viola.
Dimas' heart was pounding, hoping he was the one who got the embroidery from Viola.
Viola was confused as well. She'd rather see Dimas's face than Reza's. Because Dimas is better looking than Reza.
But Dimas was ordinary, never showing that he liked it.
While Reza at all times showed his attention to Viola. Reza also comes from a rich man who of course his future is more secure than Dimas.
That's what Viola had in mind.
Finally Viola approached Reza and repeated it.
Everyone applauded happily.
Dimas also smiled, but his mind cried sadly.
Because the person he loved so much, who was always present in his mind, turned out to love others who were his own friends.
Why is my heart sad like this. Love cannot be forced. Means Reza means more than me. Means Viola loves Reza. I was considered an ordinary friend. A thousand questions came to his mind.
From now on I must be able to accept this reality. I have to be happy because Reza got the woman of his dreams, Inner Dimas.
"So, everyone comes in, I have lunch ready" said Viola's mother as she approached Viola and her friends.
"Yes, I'm back again" said Viola's friends.
Finally they all went in to take the rice and took it to the joglo. Everyone eats in joglo.
"Del, get me some water for Dimas. Dimas has not taken water" said Princess ngerjain Adel.
Dimas's mind was confused again, so he forgot to bring water.
"No need, the sere water was still there" said Dimas while showing the sere water beside him.
They also eat with it.
Eating without taste because his mind is messed up.
"Mas.
"Yes thank you, I'm full already" Dimas said with a smile.
After eating, Viola's mom brought sweet oranges to the joglo.
"This is the orange." said his mother, handing the orange in the fruit basket.
"Thank you ma'am" said Viola's friends.
"Del, peel the orange for Dimas. It's free for you to sit next to Dimas. We may not be the ones who hide. We were sitting far away from Dimas" said Nisa Adel.
"Don't bother Del. I can peel myself." Dimas said when he saw Adel want to peel an orange for him.
"There's nothing that's going on" Viola said again.
All his friends like to disturb Adel. Moreover, they know that Adel has a heavy crush on Dimas.
After eating, they went to the back of Viola's house to see the vegetable plants grown by Viola's mother.
Mama Viola besides diligently planting flowers, also diligent vegetable gardening. All sorts of vegetables are planted.
Incidentally the back perkarangan Viola house is quite spacious. So planted with vegetables, chilies and tomatoes.
Before Viola and his parents moved into the house, it was Viola's grandmother who grew vegetables.
After my grandmother died, it was my mother Viola who continued to grow vegetables.
Plants are used alone, not for sale.
It is better to grow your own vegetables than to buy them in the market. If the vegetables purchased in the market are certainly given fertilizer so that it is quickly large and fertile.
If the plant itself is only given fertilizer but manure, there is no chemical substance.
Of course it is healthier to be given manure than purchased fertilizers that contain chemical zak.
For the sake of piety, Mama Viola diligently gardening the results are used alone.
"It doesn't feel like Ashar already" Dimas said when he heard the adhan in the mosque
"Well, we're going home now" Reza said.
"Look" said friends Viola compact.
Arriving at home, Dimas immediately took a bath and prayed ashar.
The clock has shown at 17:00 wib, but Dimas' mother has not come home yet.
If there are more orders of chips, usually mother Dimas home before magrib.
Means many people who order chips so mom until this hour has not come home too, inner Dimas.
Not long after, Dimas' mother came home from the house of Nek Sani after finishing making chips.
"You've been home a long time" said his mother.
"Just now ma'am." replied Dimas rather limply.
"Mother what a lot of orders, really until this hour just came home" said Dimas.
"Yes Mas, there is a message for the wedding of his son, so long ago just came home" said his mother again.
Fortunately Dimas house beside the kitchen chips it, so after finishing making chips just walk some already home.
Since Reza's mother died, it was Dimas' mother who continued the business. Nek Sani was just watching.
"Well we eat Mas" said his mother after finishing cleaning the dining table.
"Yes ma'am" said Dimas as he walked closer to the dining table.
"Why did you from then on I noticed silence, not much to say. What's wrong." asked his mother to know.
"There's nothing, ma'am, just tired. Back at school, Dimas was with Reza to Viola's house, which happened to be Viola's birthday.
Ashar had just returned home, immediately worked on PR for Monday. Dimas has not had time to rest so limp." replied Dimas explained.
The tired is not his body, but his mind. Think about what happened this afternoon.
Finish praying, Dimas directly into the room.
"Mom, Dimas is sleeping" Dimas told his mother who was watching TV.
"Yes, my mother also wants to sleep" replied her mother.
Arriving at the room, Dimas laid down his body. His eyes were closed, but his mind floated somewhere. He was thinking about Viola.
At exactly 23.00 wib, Reza was able to sleep soundly.
