" Sholeha Nduk, wake up and take Mom for a second!" mom slapped Sholeha's cheek.
Sholeha tried to open her eyes.
" You haven't prayed Dzuhur either? let's get up first!" mother again shook Sholeha's arm which was seen sleeping again.
" Yes Ma'am" Sholeha got up from her sleep. He stared at his mother, who was not leaving.
" Take Mom to Puskesmas for a moment, I want to check all of you into your Mas' house!"
" Mom's sick?" Sholeha surprised.
" Cuman a bit dizzy, already there pray first Mom wait ya"
Fatma came out of her daughter's room.
He is an adult who is quite aware of his health, if anyone complained a little on his body he will immediately check his health.
As soon as Sholeha prepared after the prayer, she was afraid that her mother would endure the dizziness of waiting for her for too long.
In a month his mother had twice asked him to take a check. Every time he wanted to go to Puskesmas always waiting for Sholeha to come home from work he did not want the father who delivered. Sholeha felt her mother did not want to make her father worry.
Ms. Fatma always looking for time when her husband is not at home, then she went to check herself with Sholeha.
Because Sulaiman was always too worried if his wife complained that someone was sick.
" Don't really tell me, Dad?"
Sholeha asked her mother again.
" Don't Nduk, your father nagged along the way later"
" What are we going up?"
" Your bike is there, I went on my own bike"
" Oh it's so, it's still broken this morning"
Sholeha went in the same direction as the direction when heading to Rizal's house, riding the motor at moderate speed he penetrated the afternoon that is not so bright, maybe soon it will rain. The wind was blowing fast but slowly, Sholeha slightly accelerated the speed of his motor he estimated so as not to rain in the middle of the road.
Sure enough when he reached the parking lot Puskesmas rain fell heavily.
They ran into a small entrance to the terrace of the Puskesmas. Seen a quiet waiting chair, only a few people were sitting there.
Sholeha immediately registered her mother with the officers there. Sholeha took her mother to sit waiting in line, they chose a long chair not far from the check room.
Ms. Fatma's number was immediately called, just waiting for two people. Sholeha asked her mother again if she should inform her father.
Ms. Fatma still refused and kekeh later only if she got home to tell her.
It was not until half an hour that Sholeha drove her mother in to see a doctor. As usual he was always anxious when his mother began to be asked a complaint and explained so clearly.
His mother never complained to anyone while at home, she clearly complained to the doctor as she is today. Even Sholeha could not think of why her mother had such a wise and independent nature.
"What did Mom complain about?"
asked the very young female doctor, she smiled kindly at the two.
" Dizziness Ma'am doctor, but no headaches just a firefly, and a little lethargic lately"
Much more that he asked and answered clearly by the mother, the doctor gave advice and recommended that the mother rest a lot. After receiving the recipe the two left the room. Sholeha headed to the pharmacy that was also there, asking her mother to wait for a while.
" Sit's just sitting here!" Ms. Fatma nodded.
At the same time the glass door opened, a very Sholeha man who knew two women, one middle-aged like his mother, and the other a grandmother sitting in a wheelchair. Their eyes met, without diverting Sholeha first cutting off his sight. He heard his mother's name called to take medicine from the pharmacy.
Ms. Fatma was unaware of Sholeh's arrival, but Sholeh approached her first. Sholeha saw Sholeh who had been sitting with his mother, he also tried to find the whereabouts of the two people who came with Sholeh earlier.
Ah that's it, they're in line to sign up.
Sholeha walked towards her mother, not intending to return to her seat she only greeted Sholeh with a slight smile.
" Mom, we're going home!"
" Let's go for a second" She's facing Sholeh," mommy's coming home, son"
" Yes ma'am be careful huh" he nodded letting the two go.
Sholeha took her mother out, until outside she looked back to check on Sholeh at the place. He had gone to the grandmother who was sitting in a wheelchair earlier, he was seen chatting casually to her.
Sholeha continued her steps.
I don't know where the heavy rain fell, half an hour was gone. The sky was back bright even though it was not as bright as usual in the afternoon before evening. Sholeha was silent and had no intention of asking her mother about Sholeh. He was busy thinking who they were?
Or maybe a distant relative?
But he doesn't know her?
Or them....
The daydream dispersed when the mother pulled her hand that held her mother's arm.
" Nduk, you are invited to talk ndak nyahut "Mommy Fatma stopped her steps.
" Apa ma'am, leha ndak denger" he was confused.
"Soleh's sister and her friend's family, she was wearing a wheelchair" she said.
Sholeha just ber oh without a sound.
He immediately turned on his motorbike, ready to go to his brother's house.
Their lives are so narrow and impressed that it makes it easier for everyone to meet each other anywhere and anytime in the same place.
Like his habit of secretly thinking a lot of things himself, as it is today. Hearing the words of the friend that his mother had said earlier by Sholeh he remembered with Bu Risma. Yes he mentioned his nephew who almost became Sholeh's wife. Even Sholeha has exaggerated the words of Bu Risma like her, she does not remember again this morning Bu Risma called the future wife or not.
If judging from Sholeh's excellent personality as well as handsome men are good at taking the hearts of the mothers, no wonder he must be used to doing it right. Help out. That's all, Sholeha is not surprised.
Not realizing that Rizal's house was just ahead, Sholeha reduced the speed of his bike before actually stopping in front of the house. Sholeha's daydreaming habits are very bad, but his awareness is very high of what he is working on.
Sholeha followed behind her mother, waiting for the door of the house that had not yet fully opened. Looks like Fatih's handsome nephew Sholeha, he's still wearing his school uniform.
" O Allah Fatih, it is already this afternoon you are still wearing school uniform" Sholeha said when entering and seeing Fatih.
" Back of school was Fatih overslept Bi "
he was lethargic and pouting.
"Where's your mama Le?" ask Fatma.
" In Nek's kitchen" she answered, leaving the two women very unkempt according to Fatih.
Without waiting to be welcomed, Sholeha immediately looked for Ayu who she said was in the kitchen. Just now that he had entered the plaza area, Sholeha's nose had already smelled a tempting savory delicious scent. Sholeha looking for the source, sure enough a chicken rendang cauldron that is ready to be served.
" Eum ... tease the chicken rendangnya, can wrap yes Ma'am "ask Sholeh cengengesan.
" Loh, the doctor's mother again?" Ayu approached her mother-in-law who was sitting at the dining table with a medicine crackle.
Ayu ignored Sholeha.
"Slightly dizzy, ndak papa Nduk"
" Thank God, Ayu thought mom got a fever"
Ayu saw Sholeha who did not take the chicken rendang from the cauldron.
" Why Deck?"
" Later on, you're not hungry yet"
Following Al and Fatih who filled the kitchen, the room grew boisterous. Al who was busy running around with Fatih grabbed a pack of ice cream plus Al's cry that accompanied his little run.
Sholeha just laughed to see Fatih who was then lectured by Ayu, and saw the funny Al sulking at her brother. One of the reasons Sholeha is very comforted if she sees the behavior of her sister's children. Seeing them fuss at the same time.
Still with the impression of Al hugging tightly Bu Fatma, the little boy sought refuge from the ambush of his ignorant brother. Even Fatih had run away from the ravings of her mother who was starting to get upset. Sholeha continued to laugh seeing Ayu upset not because of the direction.
After the atmosphere of the kitchen was so broken apart, everyone moved to a more conducive and quiet place. In the living room, Al joins the adult women who are busy talking about what they do not understand.
" Nduk said Mr, Fatih had asked for circumcision" asked the mother suddenly.
"Oh yes Ma'am, he had asked for circumcision for a long time but Rizal did not give permission he said he was still a child, Mas Rizal was also busy lately "
"If his son asks ya even good after all yu, mumpung want a holiday too right?" said mother.
" Kan Mas Rizal must renovate Mother's kitchen, Sholeha also married later afraid to bother you"
" Can be postponed Nduk, you talk again with Rizal. But if Sholeha's marriage can't be postponed" mother gave advice.
" Ih Mother in delay also ndak papa loh, Sholeha is also sincere" Sholeha Kontan can be a small blow on her arm by Bu Fatma.
" Ngawur you" he snapped.
Sholeha manyuned and rubbed the rough of his arm.
" Maybe it's just a thanksgiving event for Dek ndak to delay you getting married too" Ayu added.
Fatih who several times whining to his father wanted to be circumcised immediately could no longer hold back. What else are their peers who have circumcised all. Even Fatih threatened that if he did not get circumcised this year he would not go to class. Rizal was dizzy until he made it.
Is that really cool, Sholeha's niece?
*****
It was getting late in the afternoon Fatma forced Sholeha to come home soon. Sholeha who is very comfortable playing with Al was reluctant to go home. Though he promised he would not go home long if he was at Rizal's house earlier. With a heavy heart Sholeha went to leave her niece who was funny but did not want to be invited home.
" Mom don't have to stop by" Sholeha whines when her mother asks to stop at Sholeh's house.
"Just a minute, Nduk!" persuade mother.
" Mom, Leha was just there this morning"
" We just have to keep stopping by"
Sholeha smiled, hearing her mother's answer. At least he could avoid Sholeh this time. Really why his life is like on the leaves of Moringa, there and here always meet with Sholeh.
In various corners and spaces there is only a figure of him, if not the person immediately sometimes his name must still be mentioned.
Haduh makes Sholeha's heart trouble only.
Sholeha's smile has not disappeared, the motor pace has not fully smoothly appeared the figure he just called in his heart. She had just come out of her house, Sholeha was unwilling to glance at the man, she was determined in her heart. Why is there only one way to the house, Sholeha does not like this situation. Why is this motorbike so slow to turn both wheels, Sholeha is increasingly uncomfortable to make.
Mother asked to slow down her motorbike, heard the mother greeting her future daughter-in-law. I don't know what they said to each other Sholeha didn't really hear. At the base of these eyes, he could even glance at the man who was sweeping the porch of his house, he was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with knee-length casual pants. Pretty handsome.
Look, just look at it, he said.
Just glancing at Sholeha had already observed the various little things that the man was wearing and doing.
Sholeha failed !
He is more than just looking.
It's been. That's just a little story Sholeh nyapu in front of his house Sholeha again continued his motorbike calmly, trying more calmly to be exact. Just a few days learning to move-on, in fact his heart began to busy preparing a new place for new people.
" Don't dream of Nduk!" reprove mom.
" Oh yes" he sounded muffled in the air
carried away by the street wind.
