Love of Antarctica
Chapter 27
They kissed the back of the woman's hand politely. The Mbah let them sit.
“This is your Zen bag, who are you going home with? How did you not tell me?” lemba.
“Sorry yes the same. Next time always and always tell you. Heh.”
“What? Ever been? If your grandmother doesn't exist, I'm not Zen!” detached Dendra.
“Eat first yes can just go home” said si Mbah.
At the dining table is very long, there are various kinds of food. Lemba sits between Zen and Dendra. It was as if Zen was using the power in front of his grandmother to be able to get closer to Lembayung. He did not pay attention to the look of Dendra's eyes yan melengos saw it.
“Temba, eat a lot yes do not hesitate” said Zen"
“Iya, consider your own home, Next time Zen invite Lemba to play here ya later si mbah ajari Lembayung embroider” said the Mbah.
“Thanks Zen , mbah__”
The greeting from his grandmother was like a fresh wind as Zen's lucky card brought Lembayung alone to the grandmother's house.
He so grinned himself sometimes sitting closer to Lemba. Finish eating them home. Zen gave a pink box to Lemba.
“What is Zen?”
“Open at home aja.”
“Still yes.”
Lemba waved to the Mbah. Seeing their car was gone, Mbah rubbed Zen's back slowly.
“Bonding the son is sweet and kind.”
“Ya is absolutely right Mbah” replied Zen while imagining his face.
Staying with both parents or not the same is no different for Zen. He remained alone in the mansion with his workers. Now he decides to change schools and live with the Mbah while pursuing his unrequited love for Lembayung.
“If you really like Lembayung, school really. Later if it's a permanent job, Lembayung in bergamain. Message the Mbah, you should never play hands yes same women” said the Mbah gave advice.
Thinking of the future for Lembayung. Zen felt like an insyaf thug who turned himself away from the inter-school brawl he used to do before moving on. Moreover, Zen began to get used to being an exemplary student by obeying the rules that apply in school. He saw many changes in Zen, knowing that all the positive changes came from Lembayung made him want to get closer to him.
Early in the morning the Mbah was already dressed up neatly, Zen choked on a piece of bread that he had just devoured. In his heart muttered where was the grandmother going?
New kebaya clothes, bag colors and hair makeup that match her clothes.
“All red, where are you going? The lipstick is also a really red tumben!” his murmur was endlessly paying attention to the appearance of the grandmother from top to toe.
“Today mbah nau come to school you all see Lembayung, adopted grandson Mbah”
“Ahahah..” Zen last laugh is unbearable.
“Why? Is there something wrong with the appearance of Mbah? Wait yes mbah want to change for a moment.”
“Don't mbak, it's matching. Top!” zen gave a thumbs up.
Refusing a grandmother to see her grandson learn is a disobedient grandson. Zen was trying to be a good man. In front of the gate he got out of the car with his grandmother in. The other students noticed it. He tried to resist the embarrassment of taking his grandmother to school. Zen's face was flushed red, he asked his grandmother to wait at the picket table.
“Si Mbah sure wait Zen until the bell comes home? If not later go back to pick up Zen again ya”
“Zen will come bring Lembayung, but promise to go home ya__”
Geck, tok, tok.
The quiet classroom atmosphere, in the first lesson Frau Turnip seemed to explain the subject matter on the blackboard. Zen braved himself bowing to face him. She is a notorious teacher, realizing Lemba noticed her from her chair she hoped Frau would not scold her.
“Excuse Frau. Lembayung called his grandmother on picket”
“What? Grandma? Didn't Lembayung's grandmother die last year?” Arla Mummings.
“Stthh, Lemba. Your grandmother rose from the grave?” whispered Arla waving her eyes.
“Apaan anyway.”
“Install, you can exit. Your grandmother is waiting at picket” Frau said.
“Ya Frau thank you, I excuse you.”
“I also excuse Frau” Zen said.
They both headed for the picket. The Mbah stood hugging Lembayung, hugging so tightly that his blinking eyes gave the code to Zen. At his age that has passed half a century as if the young blood of the Mbah back tempestuous. The blink of an eye is still a question mark in Zen's mind.
“Later home from school you same Zen temenin si mbah to the mall yes. The Mbah wants to buy cosmetic equipment, it has long been the Mbah does not use makeup because tomorrow there is a gravestone at home. Do you want memenin the Mbah?”
“Ma_mau mbah's. But Lemba can't be long. Want to see Kinan at the Hospital.”
“After aja really, do not forget yes later Zen who picked” said the mbah repeated twice to make sure he remembered it.
......................
Dendra was ready to pick up at Zen's serobot opening the car door allowing Lemba to enter. He was sitting right next to her.
“Ndra today I went home with Zen ya.”
“Bye Ndra” says Zen.
He moved his mouth soundlessly towards Dendra who was still staring at them.
“Tomorrow belongs to me!”
He was trailing Zen's car from a distance, he saw his car stop in front of his house and then he came in to sit in the front seat.
“I did not expect that Zen used grandmothers to approach the shade. Cunning once” murmured Dendra.
Still making sure that Lembayung is safe, he still follows all their movements. He went down into the mall. Disguised using black glasses, a fluffy jacket and a yellow wig. He saw the Mbah with Lemba busy choosing cosmetics.
Two small cosmetic bags and one lip moisturizing package that the Mbah bought for the glue. They continued their steps towards the clothing store. Zen stood beside the lemba, the mbak again gave the code of blinking eyes. He rubbed his head, asking Lemba to choose a cloth with Zen.
“The head of the Mbah suddenly dizzy, you guys continue the shopping yes choose a suitable one for the Mbah” said the Mbah went with Pak Adih to the car park.
“Means I'm good at acting downhill from the Mbah. Now can be alone with Lemba because the Mbah plan runs smoothly” Zen murmured.
Waste back home leaving them at the mall. Without feeling the time has shown at 15:00 WIB. Lembayung asked for permission to go to the hospital.
“We go the same yes.”
