Morning was still blind, Via was up and soon completed her duties as a housewife. Today she gets an order from her mother-in-law to supervise the builder at the contracted Mirza house in town. I was like a foreman, right? But Via didn't want to disappoint her mother-in-law. So after finishing all the housework and make Ica breakfast, Via tried to give understanding to the child so as not to be disappointed should be delivered home first.
"Isn't papa right aunt Via take her home first? Later in the afternoon aunty pick up Ica again."
"Yes, not my aunt." Sahut Ica while feeding fried rice to his mouth.
Thank God, this kid doesn't use sulking anymore.
"But then bring some souvenirs?"
Hem, definitely don't want to lose him. You Ica!
"Okay, what do you want to bring?""
"What can I do, Auntie." Ica was busy chewing. "Shirt, Barbie dolls, or other toys may also."
Via smile. Can not be blamed also the Ica. because he and Mirza used to give souvenirs or favorite goods Ica, so it is only natural that Iha always asked to buy something to Via or Mirza.
"okay." Sahut Via's.
After finishing breakfast, Ica was immediately delivered home.
The yard of Tia's rented house that is not so broad seems to be clean. Tia always wakes up in the morning even before the rooster crowed she was awake. Arya came out with a basket and put it on her duck bike.
"Would you like to catch a ride, Mas?" Sapa Via to Arya.
"Yes, you get a lot of orders today." Arya tied her car with a rubber strap in the back seat. "Why did you come home?" Reciprocity.
"Yes, Mas. I have a job first, I'll pick you up again in the afternoon."
"You're busy, don't be, Vi." Said Tia who just appeared from the inside, apparently he had heard the conversation Via and Arya.
"Mother, I was given 50 thousand money like Eyang Ndang." Ica showed off the money taken from her pocket.
Tia just smiled, she already knew that her father-in-law Via loved Ica like his own granddaughter even though she was also aware of what kind of attitude Bu Een had towards Via.
"Yes, Ica come down first. Aunty Via wants to rush away, pity later if it's too late, huh?" Persuade Tia to her son.
Via rushed towards the city and drove his motorbike eastwards against the sun which slowly crept up. The light feels warm on the smooth face of Via which that morning still looks upset because all night even until this morning Mirza has not also given him news.
Because the road is quite quiet, it is not until 40 minutes Via arrived at the residential complex Griya Bumi Permai. The two houses Mirza bought there were next to each other. There seemed to be some men who seemed to be her in-laws already there.
"Excuse me, you're the handyman who wants to install the canopy?" Ask one of the fathers there.
"Eh there's a Via Ma'am?" Saya a woman who is almost the same age as Bu Een who came out carrying a teapot and a few glasses in a tray for the handyman fathers.
Via approached him immediately. Ms. Atun, the name of the mother who contracted at Mirza's house. The person is friendly although sometimes likes a bit more.
"Yes, Mom. I told Mom to make a handyman ngawasin."
"Here, her mother-in-law, Ma'am Via, doesn't believe me." Seloroh Bu Atun's. "And there I am here, I can also ngawasin his exchange, why use the bother of telling Mbak Via all?" Continue with the typical style of mother-emak.
Via only smiled, but in his heart also agreed with the words of Bu Atun earlier.
"Come on, come on in!" Take Bu Atun then.
Via followed Bu Atun to the living room. Previously Via and Mirza did often visit the house contracted to Bu Atun, so Via was no longer awkward.
"Tried, Ma'am." Bu Atun put a plate of getuk on the guest table complete with a glass of tea that is still steaming.
"Well, why bother, ma'am?" Via's not good.
"Ah, no. I am intentionally prepared for this work as well. Yes even if they work wholesale, but there is no harm in the availability of drinks and snacks. Let's add that spirit Ma'am, his work." Cerocos Bu Atun's.
Via smile, then plucking gituk in front of him, because the sprinkling grated young coconut is so tempting. "I tried it, Mom."
"Oh, yes please .. please, Ma'am."
Bu Atun then said that yesterday morning Bu Een came there before shopping for groceries klontongnya to tell Bu Atun if today there want to install a canopy for the house contracted by ma'am Atun and Miss Windi next to him.
The builders were seen starting to busy work, the equipment car carrying canopy material had come. Via is still busy listening to Bu Atun's story. This time he again talked about Bu Windi who contracted next to him.
"Not come home, Ma'am. Back home late at night." This time with the typical style of emak-emak rumpi.
"Yes, maybe he's doing a lot of work, ma'am." Via.
"Ih, what's the work of sampe malem so? That's it, who nganter men vary continuously, Ma'am." Bu Atun is getting excited.
"Bu Atun, how do you know?"
"I'm looking over the curtains, ma'am. End of my kepo!" Ms. Atun is outspoken.
"Udah ah, don't talk about people. It's a slander, you know." Via remind.
"Eeh, it's a fact, Ma'am! Facts!"
Via even chuckled at seeing Bu Atun whose spirit soul was so turbulent when he saw the opportunity to spread it.
"Yes, is Miss Via alone? Where is the miracle, the tumben not together?" Ask Bu Atun then.
Via turned flat, "again to Jakarta, ma'am."
"O ..." Bu Atun's lips rounded while bearded. "Song ngurus want to go sailing again huh?" Bu Atun's soul is back.
"No, there's just a need to." Via tried to hold back his own groping.
At the same time; in Om Jaka's house,
Mirza wriggled up from her sleep. Swiped his face and picked up his phone that was still not on. He then pulled out the curtains next to the bed.
The slap!
The sunlight directly attacked him without any excuse.
"God! The misfortune!" Mirza was surprised and tried to activate the device.
Cenut
Mirza's cell phone is a low-batt sign.
Mirza is looking for a charger in her but is not bored.
"Oh, Via must be angry that I haven't told you at all." Mirza's grumbling was upset at herself. "Aarrgh! It's because of Sofi!"
Kreeks...
Sura the door of the room opened.
"Za? Are you awake?" Om Jaka came in and found Mirza's angry face.
Mirza didn't say.
"Battle shower, meet Sofi later at the clinic." Said Om Jaka who saw Mirza was still silent then out of the room.
"Of." Call Mirza stop Om Jaka's move. "I'll be home by noon."
Om Jaka turned his head, looking at Mirza sharply, "resolve your problem first. Don't be a coward!"
