Love Pellets
16. Go home
After my mother and father found out about the incident in the village, I was told to go home. So I asked permission from the head of the puskesmas not to work for 3 days.
Dony offered to drive me. Because he has training in the city. It took me 6 hours to get to my house.
Because with him, 6 hours of travel far away feels not long.
"Promise yes, you have to text, and call me. "donny is commanding me.
"Heyy, how will I explain it to my mother, at home I can not be separated from mobile phones," I said to him.
"Let's just make it clear you're calling your girlfriend, " said Dony.
I looked at him, how could such a handsome man like me. Her hair, her nose, her lips... No blame I guess. How can I not be tempted to see this handsome man, my inner self.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me. "it turns out that while driving she realized I was looking at her.
"Ga pa-pa, "I said briefly.
"Do you like me so much, do I need to stop so that we can. "he put his lips together and pointed them at me.
I hit her little lips.
"Iihhh you perverted brain". Candaku.
" just focus on the road, you want us dead !!" threaten me to him.
He just laughed at my behavior.
After 5 hours, dony and I finally got home. Mom and dad got out of the house when they saw the car in the yard.
There is a confused look at the girl delivered a prinadi car, usually a public transport car. Mom and Dad let Dony in.
I brought the bag and put it in the room. After that go to the kitchen to help the mother who is preparing drinking water.
"Can I help mom. "I'll get a plate and open the cookie wrapper.
"Who is she, boyfriend?." Mom glanced at me while waiting for my answer.
"His name is doctor dony, a co-worker at the office. "I don't want to look at mom. I feel wrong. I'm confused to explain.
But in fact, the mother knows the behavior of her child, the mother also already understands from my behavior. Mom and I went back to the living room. And served warm tea and pastries.
"Just stay here son dony, must be tired 6 hours drive. "my father's offer to him. Apparently after we stayed in the kitchen they were able to familiarize themselves. I also smiled with relief.
"It could have been, sir, but I had to leave again for the city. Because I have training again, " while looking at his watch.
"Let's drink, rest first, so son dony this one puskesmas.kid dony work what part there? " my mother asked me to fill in my father's conversation, sitting next to him.
"Doctor ma'am, " said dony with a smile.
"Ohh Mr. Doctor yes... Nia dipuskesmas. Not naughty right, if naughty just angry at him. "joked my mother, but when dony open his jacket. I saw a necklace hanging from dony's neck, a symbol of his faith. Mom's face changed and looked at me. I just kept quiet, and after that my mother's face came back with her smile.
I know he's hiding a lot of questions.
long enough dony at home, finally dony was alone. He shook hands with my parents and left.
I went to my room to unload my clothes inside. I finally went back to this room for 3 days.
My mother came to me, too,
"Alhamdulillah, Mama's son has started to wear a veil, may Istiqomah yes son! " said mother with pleasure.
"Yes Bu, said Pak Kiayi yesterday must fortify themselves and improve themselves in terms of religion, especially improving the way of dress. " I took off the veil.
That's where mom saw the initial necklace hanging around my neck.
I just kept quiet, continuing to take off my clothes.
"He's a non-Muslim boy, unless he wants to follow us. But, I don't think I'm hoping. His family is different from ours. You're slowly hurting your own heart" mother explained to me.
"Yes ma'am, "I said softly.
Then mom passed. After my mother left, I shed tears in my room. The fort we were about to cross was very clearly visible. And very high.
...****************...
Nightfall...
"Come on nia, let's go to ta'lim. Wear a beautiful veil. " Mom is going to sort out the veil.
After 5 veils in the trial and error finally finished also wearing a veil. Then we set off on foot, because the ta'lim event was near home.
We were not alone, many neighbors went to the mosque. Very lively and dense because the invited speakers are quite famous.
We also dissolve in listening to the lecture. Until it does not feel 2 hours sitting listening and finally the event is over. We walk in tandem. Mother also walked with her friend who met during the ta'lim ceremony earlier. They tell stories while occasionally looking at me.
My father walked behind us. When we got home, my mother said goodbye.
"So tomorrow morning ma'am, 9 o'clock, " said my friend. I just smile and shake hands to look friendly in front of him.
"Nia, Nia, Great are you, son! " Say a friend of mother's.
"Pack ma'am. "
And then the boys left.
...****************...
Morning time.
I was very busy at dawn, and I am still busy.
At 9 o'clock a friend of the mother came with her family entourage.
Then I was told to serve tea and cookies. Then I went back into the kitchen. I don't know what they're talking about. I got a good SMS with Tony.
"Mrs ... Nia, come here! " my mother half yelled.
I also approached. And mom held my shoulder.
"Well, meet her name, Nia. " while telling me to sit in the guest seat next to my mother.
I was confused just a smile. They went home, and we shook hands.
While cleaning the guest table, I asked. "Mother's friend is far away, is it her home? "
"Yes, they coincided with a visit to her grandmother's house here. Childhood mom friend. "mom while passing brings a tray full of cups to the kitchen. And I followed my mother with an empty cake plate.
"The mother's friend had a child, who was wearing a black peci earlier. Well that's a graduate of Al Azhar Egypt, now he teaches as a teacher at Pondok Pesantren, "lit mother while doing the dishes.
"Ooo .... " I put down the dishes and took the soap to help mom wash the dishes.
"Beautiful, right?, "asked my mother.
"Well know, don't notice. "I went into the room. Because I finished washing.
Tumben mom praises people's children in front of me. Actually, it's pretty handsome, at first glance. I don't know what mom meant.
