JUMPING HIGHER
NOT SITI NURBAYA

Aunty Puji looked at Sarah and I alternately. I really died a flea. Sarah's like a boiled crab. Red ripe face, due to the release of calling me with the name of ayang in front of his mother.

Hm! Aunty Puji—mama Sarah—.

"Stand, yeah. Sarah made a drink first," said Sarah immediately ngacir left the living room.

After Sarah's death, now it's just me and Aunt Puji sitting opposite. He examined my face. If I don't ask, it feels like I just want to fly from that place.

"Bono.”

"Yes, Auntie?" I smiled awkwardly.

"Auntie heard Sarah calling you ayang. What does that mean?"

I'm getting clumsy, like I'm dealing with a judge who's about to sentence me for my crimes. Aunty Puji still looked at me with his sharp, but not cruel gaze.

“A-means ..." I grimaced—like to cry.

"What?" chase aunt Puji.

"That, Aunt ..”

"That, what?"

“That means, sa-honey ..."

Aunt Puji mangosteen.

"Oh, that means baby, yeah. Then you're dating, dong?"

“Betul Aunty, but Bono has the same permission Bawon, really," said I defend myself.

"You should ask Auntie's permission, not Bawon's."

I grinned like a water-drenched horse.

“Then Bono asked for Auntie's permission right now," I said bravely. I've got wet backwoods, all right.

“You know that Auntie doesn't allow Sarah to date?"

I was shocked to death. What Auntie Puji said made me realize from a beautiful dream. Not allowed?

"Tante will call your Mama, Bono."

It turns out that Aunt Puji and mama are one brand as well. What's wrong with going out, as long as it's okay. I've heard from Aunt Puji himself, that he used to date his father Bawon and Sarah before they married. Why did he ban his son from dating? Wasn't his name wrong?

Lho? How come Aunt Puji knew that I was talking to him in my heart? I'm dying in style in front of Sarah's mother. His words just now seemed to reply to me in a landslide.

"So Bono has to how, Auntie?" I gave up losing.

"Later Auntie just call your Mama."

"Call Mama for what, Auntie?" many confused.

“It's okay, your Aunt and Mama are old friends, from school to college we are always together. Yeah, like you and Bawon now. Everywhere is always the same. You are considered family in this house."

Aunty Puji's explanation makes me a little relieved, but why would she forbid Sarah from dating, does she not believe me? He said he was considered family?

I was crying waiting for the arrival of Sarah who said she wanted to make a drink, but not yet nongol also until now. If this alone faces his mother, I will die a flea. Just try Sarah did not let go of calling me by the name of course the situation is not like this. Yesterday I came, Auntie Puji wellcome, yes! Maybe if I just wanted to see Bawon, he didn't think I was dating Sarah.

***

I went home without prejudice, just relax. My experience that died a flea in front of Sarah's mother, has not burdened the mind anymore. At least my relationship with Sarah is known to her mother. About him not liking if his son is dating me it's about something else. Stay lobbying mama only, so Aunt Praise melted her heart and bless my relationship with Sarah. Are they best friends? Business can be easy. Case closed's!

"Bono" my mother's voice called out to me.

Pucuk loved, ulam arrived.there is a point also said the saying. Just entered the house, I was called Mama. Just say about aunt Puji, no need to wait tomorrow-tomorrow.

"Yes, Ma?" I approached my mother who was opening a book in the reading room.

"Here, Mama wants to talk."

I'm coming closer.

"What's up, Ma?"

Mama closed the book, put it on the table near her seat. She smiled at me. What's up, anyway? I was confused to see my mother's attitude. It seems serious, but relaxing.

"So Aunt Puji called Mama."

The deg! If this is not relaxing, then! Abis two people “height of land” has been calling each other, what is it? I took a seat near my mom. Get ready to listen to what he's going to talk about.

"Tante Puji is talking to Mama."

Golly, dah! Mama longs. Why not just go straight. Where the heart is so empty. Aunt Puji, what's the talk about? It must be about Sarah, right? Aye, right? I guessed in my heart.

"She's gonna betroth you to her daughter, Sarah."
