Let Me Fall in Love
62. Thinking Car

Ami went inside while carrying a hand that was quite heavy because of the ice drink kuwut. Already prepared an excuse if Mother asked about the item she was carrying. It seems that all his friends have been sitting on the carpet of the living room, talking to Mom.

"What is that, Mi?"

Mother's question made all her friends look at the crackle bag that was dropped on the carpet.

"I'm a honey donut with ice cubes, Mom. Make a dessert so Marga is full." Ami glanced at the man who was made a scapegoat.

"Ami likes it. But I won't refuse to let it go." Marga who initially put on a protest face, turned grim as Vino nailed his head who considered a jaim pretentious.

"Feed to take it at the table. Then he ate it here for free." Said Mother Sekar who will go to double check the menu at the dining table. That was answered 'Ready, Mom' by friends Ami compactly.

Adzan magrib also reverberated. Received joy by all. Dates become appetizers after sipping drinking water. The fun and laughter of the open event together warms the atmosphere of a house that is usually quiet. Capturing by taking pictures seems to be something that is mandatory in every moment.

"Kia, let it be with Bi Ela." Sekar's mother rebuked Kia who cleaned the dirty dishes into the kitchen laundry tub and was about to wash them.

"It's okay, Mom. Same with me. While waiting in line for prayer." Kia Keukeuh continued washing dirty dishes.

Ibu Sekar smiled faintly looking at and judging Kia as a diligent child. "Worker with Mama how healthy?" He chose to accompany his friend Ami who most often came to the house than others.

"Thank God be healthy, ma'am." Kia looked over at a glance while smiling and nodding. Continue again rinsing dishes that have been sawn.

"Kia, looking for where, kirain lost apparently in the kitchen. MasyaAllah, this dream ghost candidate anyway." Ami who appeared at the kitchen door, then approached Kia.

"Basic!" Kia splashed water on Ami's face without any burden teasing him. Which then replied Ami while passing along accompanied by laughter.

Ibu Sekar is no longer strange with Ami's prank behavior towards anyone. He just watched while checking the fridge.

Before Isya, all of Ami's friends were willing to go home so that they could carry out tarawih in the mosque. Ami also left the remaining honey doughnuts for her sister Kia.

***

Passing the twentieth day of Ramadan, a time that is not felt towards Eid. Zaky reports he's going home with the H-4. While Puput reported going home H-2. Mother Sekar's house was clean with a new paint aroma. For the lebaran shirt? No mess around because there is a Panji that is a sponsor of the family uniform of holiday fashion.

[Again, Cutie?]

Akbar never missed communicating with Ami every day. Minimally through chat as he did this afternoon. Just like Ami who never absent wake up sahur.

Ami was quick to open the message because his position was scrolling social media.

[May think of a car, brother?]

[Why is the car?]

[Cars my love for you like nails]

[Why like a nail? 🤔]

[Color even if cut, keep growing keep 🙃]

[Haha. Add again the contents of the dictionary of love from the darling. Cutie, I'm thinking of a car, too]

[What car, Panda?]

[Sawal's moon car wants to travel to the penghulu but the camera is still unyu]

[Haisss can ae babang tamvanku 😁]

[MU always 😘 ]

Ami read two replies from Akbar with a wide smile. Everyday communication is never a boss. There was never any death.

"Amiiiii!"

The scream of Aul who knew appeared, making Ami aghast from his position of lying down in the sofabed central room. He sat down and did not forget to lock his phone.

"Teh, come say hello first. Not that he suddenly shouted. Thankfully I don't hang." Ami looked at pregnant women who will turn 4 months of pregnancy on the second date of Shawwal.

"Teteh already said hello but Ami even a smiling henchman. Hayoh, whose chat is that? Must be a guy?" todong Aul then sat beside Ami.

"Temen, Tea. Again joking around guessing dime while waiting for magrib. Teteh came with Kak Panji?" Ami immediately switched discussions to avoid further interrogation.

"Yes. Still outside calling Mas Akbar."

"HUH?!" Ami unconsciously squealed loudly in shock. Not five minutes ago again reply to a message with Akbar, now his father was switching communication with Panji the brother-in-law.

"Obsolutely normal. Why be surprised. Where's mom, Mi?" Aul got up while walking towards his room. There was a longing for the atmosphere of his room. So until sulking to the husband if tonight want to stay overnight. Whether it's part of the cravings or not.

"So Mom's not in the kitchen anymore." Ami replied while checking again the chat application. He has not had time to reply again to messages from Akbar because there is an ad through. The panda is no longer online. It could be that he's on the phone with Panji now.

The dining table this afternoon was filled with four people facing each other. Ami sat down with Mom, Aul with Panji. There's ten minutes to magrib. This is the third time the newlyweds break their fast together at Mother's house.

"Barusan Panji has been calling Mas Akbar, Mom."

Ami put his ears wide because he wanted to know the theme of the chat discussed.

"Mas Akbar and his family will come to Lake on the 3rd of Shawwal. Continued last time there is a discourse about ngadain halal bihalal family. The point is we want collaboration. Panji wants to give four months of thanksgiving. Just now the deal dated 4 Syawal will be halal bihalal as well as Aul's four-monthly thanksgiving at the Seruni hotel. It's a gathering moment for the whole family, ma'am." Panji Clear.

Ami cheered inwardly. He already knew with the plan of Akbar's arrival. But the additional collaboration of the event with Panji is just heard now.

"Mother mah ngikut aja. What about the catering, Panji?"

"The location is in Seruni restaurant. So all catering from there to be practical. It's okay, Mom?" Panji stared intently because he did not wear Mother's Dapoer catering.

"It's okay. As Mr. Krishna said. We should support each other's family business."

"Yes, Mum. That's a prospective mother's mother's business. There's nothing to lose." Ami responded with a conscience.

The core of the conversation has been discussed and agreed upon everything. It's time to break the fast with a glass of warm water and three dates.

"If you say from noon I want to stay here, I can take Padma to sleep too." Ami filled her dinner plate first. Then the plate.

"The mummy impromptu cravings were after Kak Panji from the office. Sampe wants to cry everything so much want to stay here." The pennant glanced at Aul who was preparing to start eating.

"The reason is that you are even persuaded to be pushed back tomorrow. I want it now. It really cannot be bargained. Waging the ultimate weapon with a new crab is successful." Aul pokes Panji's waist which laughs at him.

Mom Sekar smiled. As a parent, there is nothing more soothing than seeing your children happy with their lives.

After the tarawih from the mosque, Ami did not join with Mother and Aul and Panji who relaxed in the living room. Choose to stay in the room by not forgetting to lock the door. That's because Akbar sent a message before the tarawih said he would call before bedtime.
