Honey For Amira
Gambique

"Umi, Pade," said Laila, surprising Galih and Amira.

Amira and Galih then looked at Laila at the same time.

Amira hurriedly threw out Galih's hand and clasped the money tightly.

"Laila, are you home?" ask Amira.

Laila looked around looking for Novi's whereabouts.

"You guys are doing it together here. Where's Aunt Novi?" ask Laila.

"Your aunt went out earlier. Either go to the stall or go to grandma's house." replied Amira.

Laila immediately kissed the back of Galih's hand. He then sat down beside Galih.

"Pade's been here a long time?" ask Laila.

"New decade to come," replied Galih.

"Tumben pade late afternoon down here."

"Yes. Pade came here on purpose, because Pade wants to see you. All the pades bring you souvenirs of meatballs with martabak."

Laila smiled and stared at the table.

"Well, that's a lot of Pade. Thank you very much Pade. Pade is indeed my best pade," praised Laila.

Galih only smiled when she heard the praise from Laila.

Moments later, Novi enters the house and mingles sitting with Galih, Amira, and Laila.

"Aunty from where?" tanya Laila stared fixedly at Novi.

"From your grandmother's house" replied Novi.

"Why Tan?"

"You take the shirt. Auntie wants to take a shower here."

"Oh..." Laila mangosteen understands.

Laila stared at the plastic that looked different from other plastic wrap.

"Pade, is this pade?" ask Laila while taking the plastic package.

The curious Laila hurriedly took the contents inside the plastic wrap.

"Well, is this pade?" asked Laila when she saw the new clothes inside the plastic wrap.

"It's like a robe? do me, Pade?" ask Laila.

Galih looked puzzled to answer Laila's question. Actually Galih bought the game for Amira, but somehow Laila who took the game first.

Laila was so happy that her father had bought her a new dress. Laila then hurriedly went inside her room to give it a try.

"Mas, did you buy Laila a new suit?" ask Amira.

Galih.

Duh, why did I just buy one huh. I should've bought three, let's go for Novi and Laila. In this case, surely Laila will be disappointed with me, Galih's mind.

"Yes Amira" replied Galih.

"Laila's book is a lot. Why buy it again, Mas."

"It's okay, Amira. Let Laila be happy."

"Mas Galih, I'm just buying Laila doang. I also want dong in buyin. I know, Mas Galih is a lot of money. Once a cake, love a gift for me too" said Novi who was envious of Laila.

"Yes. Somewhen. I just bought it for Laila doang" said Galih.

Moments later, Laila came out of her room. Laila looked angry, as she walked out of the room.

"Pade, actually Pade bought a robe for who the hell? Aunt Novi, or Umi. Why is the robe so big" said Laila seemed to grunt.

Laila then sat back down on the sofa.

"Yes. Pade doesn't know my size. Pade used to buy clothes that fit me. But now Pade bought a robe the size of Umi and Aunt Novi. Should have bought the size of me," said Laila angry because disappointed the robe is great.

"Let's see" Novi snatched the game from Laila's hand.

He then spread the robe.

"Well yes. This is supposed to be for me. Unfortunately, I don't like the game very much. I used to wear a subordinate skirt or pants. Who often wear the robe of Ms. Amira,"

"Patience La, maybe Pade you forget the same size of your body," said Amira.

"Duh, Kegedean ya La. Sorry pade yes. Pade just wants to pick the best game in the store. Not great for you" said Galih.

"This is it, it should be for Umi," Laila looked at Amira.

"La, it's okay greatness. We can take it to the tailor, "Amira tries to comfort Laila so that she is not too disappointed.

Laila, angry, got up from her seat. He walked towards his mother. He then put the robe into his mother's lap.

"This, make Umi. I don't want to."

Laila then hurriedly entered into her room and locked the door of her room from inside.

Galih looks sorry for only buying one game. But Galih thought, Laila was already often bought clothes. And now it's Amira's turn. I bought new clothes for Amira.

Duh, forgive pade ya La. Pade thought, Laila's clothes are still good. Kan Pade has often bought clothes for Laila. Actually, the shirt is for your Umi. Who pade see, Umi you are the clothes are ugly. Looks like Farhan never bought a new suit for your Umi, Galih said in his heart.

Galih did not want to linger in Amira's house. He then decided to go home.

"Amira, Novi, it's afternoon. I'll go home first."

"Lho, Mas Galih. How in a hurry. Don't you want to eat here?" ask Novi.

"No need. I want to eat at home."

Before standing up, Galih looked at Amira fixedly.

"Cheal fast, Amira."

"Yes Mas. Doain yes, my Mas."

After bidding farewell to Amira and Novi, Galih then left Amira's house.

He drove home on his bike.

Zia and Farhan were still in his room. Farhan was still rubbing Zia's flat stomach.

"Mas, what do you want our child for? a boy or a girl?" zia asked as she clasped her husband's hand tightly.

"What yes? I already have a daughter. I want a boy. To Fauzan's instead."

"If I want a daughter. Let me help you in the kitchen."

"The same boy as the same girl Zi. The important thing is to be healthy and she was born safe."

In the moments when Zia and Farhan were chatting in the room, the roar of the motor from outside the house sounded.

"That looks like your sister's coming home" said Zia.

"Let's just do it."

"Cok justin anyway. Said you wanted to borrow money to check my contents."

"And the check is still a long time, dear. Just checked yesterday. Time to check again. A month's wait."

"Yes. But I don't hold any more money. You also. Borrow it from Mas Galih. Otherwise, you take the store's capital money."

Farhan was shocked when he heard Zia's words.

"No way if it's dong baby. That's capital money, to muter again. Can't just take it."

"But when you want to let me starve. You don't hold money. The money you gave me, you always asked me to buy gasoline. It could be money."

"Here you go, calm down. You will not go hungry here. If we don't have money, we can eat with mom here. The important thing is that you are diligent in helping mothers like Amira. Surely I will love you," said Farhan proposing.
