Let Me Fall in Love
104. Brother Chat Brother Sister

Ami just got home from school. Put his motorbike into the yard slowly, next to the black Pajero car plate B. Faces semringah because her brother from Jakarta has come an hour ago. After opening the shoes on the terrace, step lightly and cheerfully and open the door while saying hello.

"Hully, Aa. Be miserable." Ami spread out both hands with a slight bow as Rasya ran to greet him. Immediately the atmosphere of the house turned noisy by the screams of Rasya's laughter being swung while playing twice.

Making Rayyan who watched, prancing around with applause and laughing.

"It's my turn ate gendong." Ami raised Rayyan's body high because Rayyan's body was lighter and twisted it twice. He treated his two nephews.

Ami saw the appearance of the puput from inside the room. Immediately approached and cipika cipiki with his first brother. There is no Mom and Dad at home. Because last night accompanied Aul to the hospital. And the latest info, now out of the hospital.

"Mi, Teteh wants to go to Aul's house again. Want to be with you?"

"Bareng, Tea. Wait for me to shower first, eat first." Ami hurried to walk up the stairs. Rasya also ran. He had to persuade his nephew to wait downstairs. Because going to the room won't take long. Just for a shower.

Arriving at the Panji house, the family was gathered in the middle room. If Puput was there first to greet Mother and Papa and Mother Ratih and Father Anjar, Ami and Rasya went straight to the room to see the baby. There is Padma and also Enin who is holding a baby boy on the sofa. While Panji accompanied Aul on the bed.

Ami watched Enin whose lips were about to recite a prayer. Then it ends with blowing the closed head of the baby. While Rasya approaches the bed and kisses Om and his Ate's hand. The banner held Rasya sitting on his lap.

"Ami, are you really ready to carry a baby?" Enin looked at Ami who was crouching in front of him resting on both knees.

"God is ready, Enin. I'm ready to be a mahmud aka young mama." Ami turned to Aul to see his brother's reaction.

Panji chuckles. Aul just smiled mesemically. While Padma giggles.

Ami is allowed to hold the 3.2 kg baby. He stood cautiously holding the red baby in the bag.

"Om, whose baby's name is Dedek?" Rasya's question represented Ami who was also about to ask.

"The name is Pasha Khaizuran Syahreza." Dedek Pasha. So Aa has two sisters, Rayyan and Pasha." Panji kisses with a chuby Rasya cheek.

"Yes. Later play baleng Aa. Mau Aa bonceng ride a bike like Aa bonceng adek Layyan."

"It can't be, Aa. Dedek Pasha is a baby. Wait another two years to be able to be hugged by Aa." Sahut Aul while looking at the cheek of his nephew.

"Huh. Those two are sheep?" Rasya raised 10 of his fingers. Looking at Ate Aul demands an explanation. Everyone in the room laughed softly.

"This is second number." The pennant helps show Rasya's two right fingers.

Ami saw the arrival of the incoming Puput with a greeting. "Tea, do I deserve a baby?" He smiled as he lowered his eyebrows.

"If only the baby is fit. But if you take care of the baby, Teteh is not sure Ami can." Sahut Puput pitched smooth flickering. He then touched Enin and Padma. Lastly greet Panji and cuddle with Aul.

"If Enin saw that Ami would be able to take care of the baby because it was also said to be ready to be a mahmud he said, Put."

"Well, Ami said that?" The puput raised one eyebrow. He then approached Ami because he wanted to hold Baby Pasha.

"Bent, Tea. Want to be photographed first. Padma, pliss!" Ami lowered her eyebrows staring at Padma.

As if understanding the language of Ami's eyes, Padma pulled out her phone and three camera shots were taken. Then he sent it through chat. "Done, Mi."

If Puput tonight chooses to stay at Aul's house, Ami returns home with Mom and Papa at eight o'clock tonight because tomorrow has to be school.

Arriving home and entering the room, Ami sent a photo of herself carrying a baby Pasha to Akbar with the caption :

[Papa Panda, when do you come home? Same mom Baby Panda kangen 🤭]

Ami giggled after sending the message. While waiting for a reply, he prepared a book for the lesson schedule tomorrow. Not long after heard the sound of a notification.

[Honey, so cute look at 😘]

[So I want a photo of three. Cosplay Mom Papa and baby]

Ami smiled wryly with a blushing face reading the reply message from her father. He rushed to type again.

[When do you want to come here?]

[Teh Puput has arrived. If Kak Rama later on Saturday night he said]

[Possibly coming with Rama. Yes, yes, yes again]

[I'm overtime, Cutie. Love infusion dong plis]

Ami thought for a moment to string up the reply with a pantun. Within seconds, the idea came up.

[Walk to Pekanbaru, do not forget to buy quality food. If I say I love you, answer with love you too]

Ami kept the phone and moved towards the mirror. He was the one who was floundering but his face was warming and smiling. Then want to be sure as red as what the hue of his face is now. The sound of the notification returned him to the bed until his phone bounced.

[Of course, baby. I love you too. So much love you 😘]

The school routine is back on Thursday. Still with the same spirit. Ami left early in the morning, returning home at four in the afternoon. There was no one at home because this afternoon I told her I was going to Aul's house. While Papa Bagja this morning went to Bandung with his assistant because there was an invitation at an institution.

Ordinary to get self-education and discipline, Ami rushed to shower, pray, and eat afternoon. The bell rang out as he finished eating. Hurry forward to open the door.

"Teh, alone?" Ami saw the arrival of the puput without children.

"Yes. Rasya the same Rayyan invited Mother nganterin Enin home. Ami's eating?" Sitting on the living room sofa. Sofa memento of Rama's gift first time moving to the house.

"New new one." Ami catches her brother's giraffe and invites her to talk. He sat on the same sofa. Sit down on the left side while holding a sofa pillow.

"Steh wants to talk to Ami."

Ami nods. "With a pleasusre" he said casually.

"Teteh heard from Mom. He said Ami and Mas Akbar had a special relationship for a year. And Mas Akbar came here to ask for permission to propose to Ami. Right so?" Puput stared at Ami's face fixedly.

Ami nods. That's right, tea. And I'm waiting for the blessing of Mom, of Tepu Tea, of Aul tea, and of A Zaky." He replied calmly because he had prepared himself when spoken to by his brothers.

"Mi, when Teteh High School, Teteh did not think at all to have a boyfriend let alone a young marriage. Tragget Teteh study and continue college until work. About the soul mate Teteh pasrakkan with Allah. Despite having a target of getting married at 26. It's all stacked in a binder as a myself project. Qodarullah, Teteh married at the age of 25 with an unexpected soul mate."

"Teh, may I answer?"

Puput.

"I understand the principle of Teteh because Teteh has a responsibility towards brothers. Tetap helps the mother become the backbone of the family. Teteh can actually marry early too, because I know a lot of guys who come to mother's house. But leave aside personal affairs to take care of his sisters first. And I'm proud of you." Ami smiled sincerely while looking at Puput with a feeling of novelty.

Puput silently digested and nodded in response confirming Ami's remark.

"But our family economy was and is now. Thank goodness it is now prosperous. We are also in different situations and conditions. My High School period was not a burden of responsibility and confusion to pay school fees like Teteh used to be. Teteh and Kak Rama help pay the cost of high school fees. And I actually have the same principles as all the brothers. Will not be dating during school. But qodarullah, I fell in love with Brother Akbar without a plan. I have known Mr. Akbar since Junior High. I like to tell mulung sawer. And a straight heart. And lost contact for almost two and a half years. I forgot my cousin, Rama."

"So, Tea. I reiterate again. My love for Akbar is not monkey love. I really like his personality. I'm actually mentally prepared for a young marriage." Suppress Ami with intonation that remains relaxed but serious.

"Mi, Lisda Teteh's friend, marry after graduating High School. Same with other class friends. And what's going on now? Reportedly they divorced because of frequent bickering. Her two children were cared for by her parents Lisda. Because Lisda every day has to work in a factory. Go home in the morning. Indeed, those who marry at a mature age also end up failing. It all comes back to the people who live it. So Teteh worries, fear Ami imagines a sweet married life forever. Nano nano, lots of tests. Teteh was just afraid Ami was not ready. Not to hinder the marriage. Ami understands"

Ami nods. "Guard, Tea. But Teteh try to see the difference I'm the same as Lisda. Lisda married a guy of her age. Okelah can be both high ego so no one gives up in addressing the problem. But me, the guy is an adult the difference is 16 years. If I ngeyel, Brother Akbar likes nasihatin. I became crumpled and shriveled. Kak Akbar is a complete package. Mature, fine, snacking. If you talk to him can be multi-role father, brother, best friend, girlfriend. Depends on what is discussed. Uh one more. Cute." Clearly smiling while grinning.

The stomach breathes long. Staring at Ami with narrowed eyes. "Teteh really talk to Ami Blanket this tea? How to be different."

"Ladies. No Mother does not Teteh, in thinking Ami is still pinyik. Ami has transformed into a beautiful adult girl. No longer a child, but ready to make a child. Hihih." Ami puffed out her tongue. Then catch the pillow that will be smashed by the puput into his body.

"So what is the conclusion of our conversation, Princess Kirana's beautiful and kind tea?" Ami piled two sofa cushions on her lap. Staring at her sister who threw her back against the back of the sofa.

Suddenly Ami's phone on the table rang. Distract the focus of the Escape who will answer. "Who, Mi?"

"A Zaky vc, Tea." Ami swiped the receive icon with the face of the spring.

"Hallo, Assalamu'alaikum Aa Suneo." Ami waved and smiled broadly at the face of Zaky who filled the screen. He giggled as the handsome face in the screen turned killer for not being happy with the call 'Suneo'.

"Teh, when to Ciamis?" Zaky turned his focus towards Puput after answering his greetings.

"The one who lashes out is called Suneo." The Sambar Ami that Zaky ignored. Making the Lup chuckles.

"Yesterday afternoon. Zaky when's palkam?"

"Most December, Tea. Waiting for the end of the year."

"Eh, Kiaaaa. Come in here in." Ami looked towards the door while waving her hand. Making the Eardrops frown. There's no one. The door is closed.

"There's Kia, Mi?" Then Zaky wanted to say hello to Ami. With a slightly pleased expression. Just slightly.

"Ladies. The turn to talk about Kia is a direct smile. The prank."

"Review yes, Mi. No Singapore dollars."

"No problem. Just ask for ama ayang."

"Do you have any ayang?! Can't believe it." Zaky shook his head while thieving.

"The Aa kasep. Aa, I want to get married. Ready to be a guardian, A!"

Zaky laughing. "Basic Marimar. Want to marry what you want ante a meatball."

"Dry, Aa. I'm getting married after graduating from high school. Next year I go to the north. Uh the guy who went home."

Zaky stopped laughing and turned to look at Puput. "Tea, really not Ami?"
