ACCIDENTALLY HEARD
“Log in!” Icha said when she heard the door of her room knocking. Opung had already left for the hospital and their mother had not come home from the office. Until they found out their mother had gone to the office. They haven't known since yesterday that his mother was on leave from Dinda.
“What's Eda?” said Icha. Sometimes he calls out EDA to Tarida. That's a call for an older sister in Batak. But he called Big Brother more often because his friends like to rebuke if he calls Tarida with eda calls. They thought Icha called Tarida directly to her name instead of Eda or Sister.
“You didn't think that Aunt Wika said?” ask Tarida
“Iya Eda, I so think if papa dies, how do we?”
“Entahlah. But I hate papa,” said Tarida
“But Aunt Wika said there are many reasons we do not know yet. Like his aunt Wika's father, he had another wife too. Her mother was just taken. Not divorced like our mama,” said Icha.
“That's because of consideration aunt Wika's little sister. Mama is not. Mama feels able to love us, so there is no need to fear divorce from papa.”
“Iya kak, and mama can also meet papa. So we didn't lose papa. Only we hate because papa liesin us,” reply Icha.
“Maybe it's a lie that we don't understand. What is meant by lying by parents, Aunt Wika said so. There is a secret that we do not understand why his father Aunt Wika remarried the same person in his office.”
“So we have to how?” ask Tarida.
“How about we tell mama tomorrow we nengokin papa. Tomorrow is Saturday, school is off. We're just tengokin. We told papa to get well soon. If you can't forgive, you've just said it. How?” the word Icha is more dominant in opinion than her brother.
“Yes already, later we say so same mom. We just say you want to know the news papa do not say we want to apologize,” replied Theresia.
Sondang immediately prepared the vegetables he was about to cook for dinner today. He wanted to cook the typical goldfish arsik Medan. Goldfish and all the spices have been prepared by the aunt, he just process it.
Sondang noticed the amount of rice was still enough to eat the four of them with the aunt. Opung had brought it for dinner. Opung now also do not buy food outside but take it from home only. Because if he buys sometimes it does not match his taste. It is better to bring food from home. Not about taste, but about taste.
“Bu it was there two servings fried vermicelli,” said bibik.
“Lho how much?”
“Iya, one has been partially brought opung anyway. So opung brought home the souvenirs after going with the children,” obviously bibik.
“Wah then the fish should not be cooked now. Later not kemakan.” Sondang so hesitant to cook goldfish.
“Atau vermicelli just saved for breakfast tomorrow morning. Let me cook now,” break up Sondang.
“Ya Ma'am. Fried rice for tomorrow morning. If the fish make tomorrow morning less suitable,” replied bibik.
The vermicelli that Wika bought was stored in the refrigerator because if there were too many side dishes dear later even stale no one ate.
Sondang prepared everything for the dinner of his two daughters even though she was a karyakwati she was still a housewife, she was still the mother of his children, so she still prepared dinner and breakfast for her children.
