Maira And The Bad Boy
Yudhistira's Story

"Don't take heart, Son Maira. Yudhis must be joking. Yeah, right, Yud?" the oma glanced sharply at Yudhistira.

"Yes, Dik Mela. No way, I'm the same as you. Oma said, we are like Tom and Jerry," Yudhistira timpal said with a slanted smile, mocking the centile girl in front of him who would definitely sulk if called Mela.

Sure enough, Maira immediately protested to hear Yudhistira's call against her just now.

"Call me Maira or Rara, Mas!" The girl's gaze was so sharp, but it did not make Yudhistira tremble.

The young man smiled even more. "Well, dear Mr. Rara," replied Yudhistira who made Maira even more upset.

"Oh, bummer!" upset Maira.

The old woman who was sitting beside Yudhistira, only smiled at the young man.

"oh, there's a guest." Mommy Billa's soft voice approached, distracting them.

"Mom, Mai went straight, yes," said Maida who tailed behind the mommy. The girl whose graceful appearance then greeted her Mommy.

"Be careful on the road, don't miss the ride home, son!"

"Ready, Mom," Maida replied. The girl nodded politely to Yudhistira and whispered to Maira.

"Don't be so fucking judes, sister!" Maida immediately ran away laughing, before getting a pinch from her twin sister.

Mommy Billa can only shake her head to see the behavior of her twin daughters who still tease each other, even though they both have grown up.

The beautiful Mommy then greeted Yudhistira. "I'm Billa, Maira's mommy," he said.

"Oh, his wife is Nak Rehan, huh?" ask the oma with sparkling netra.

"It was a long time ago that I did not meet Mas Sultan and his sons. Last time we met, when our parents died and it was Nak Rehan still Junior High."

"A long time, Auntie. If you may know, where does Aunt live?" ask Mommy Billa who has never seen a woman who is the same age as Granny Lin.

"I joined my husband to Surabaya and not long ago, just returned here because I have to take care of grandchildren," the old woman replied as she gently patted the grandson's arm.

"His mother died five years ago and Yudhis seemed to lose his way especially after his father decided to marry a woman who turned out to be unable to accept Yudhis" he continued, telling the story.

The old face, now turned into a sad.

"Oma, enough," whispered Yudhistira who did not like the oma to tell others about herself.

Mommy Billa nodded. Maira glanced at Yudhistira observing the young man.

'I think it's worth it, I'm looking for that attention. Apparently he's from a broken family. Poor as well, Mas Yudhis. Though if you look around actually he is kind and polite enough with parents, it is proven that he always obeys the same omanya.' Maira monologue in silence.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Daddy Rehan's voice that just came, distracts everyone.

"Oh, there's Nak Yudhis," said Daddy Rehan, warm.

Yudhishthira immediately went up and then greeted Maira's father, with reverence.

Maira was back pouting.

"Oh yeah, Om. Introduce, Oma me." Yudhishthira pointed towards his oman.

Daddy Rehan who felt he had seen the face, frowned.

"Wife is Bhishma, isn't it?" Daddy Rehan reached out to greet the old lady in front, with a deep frown.

Daddy's good-looking is like remembering something, to the past decades.

Yes, the faint Daddy Rehan can remember the old woman was the wife of Om Bisma who used to be close to Oma Sekar. Daddy Rehan also remembered that the old woman's son was his playmate as a child, Pandu.

A very long separation due to business reasons that require the Bhishma family to move out of town, making their friendship tenuous even because of their respective busyness, the friendship becomes lost.

They had met again when Daddy Rehan was a teenager, but only briefly because the Bisma family had to return to Surabaya.

"Yes, Rey. Do you remember Auntie?" The old woman was glazed.

"Om Bisma's been dead a long time, Rey. When Pandu was just getting married," he continued.

Daddy Rehan, who sat next to the old woman, patted her gently on the back of Yudhistira's hand.

The old woman told me a lot. It tells the friendship of Opa Sultan with her late husband and her closeness to Oma Sekar.

"Handu and his late wife, long had no son. And once the first son was born, he gave him the name Yudhistira because Pandu hoped to have many children, at least five like pandavas."

"But God willed another. Pandu was given only one child's trust, which was only Yudhis." Omanya Yudhistira smiled at the grandson, ending the story.

"Oh, so Nak Yudhis is Pandu's son. Pantesan, there are similar." Daddy Rehan smiled, looking at Yudhis.

"That means now, Pandu also moved here, Auntie?" ask Daddy Rehan.

The woman shook her head. "No, Son. Pandu stays in Surabaya with his young wife."

"Oma, it's almost maghrib. Go, yuk!" whispered Yudhistira who did not want the oma to talk about the father and his wicked young wife, according to the young man.

The oma glanced at Yudhistira and then spoke again to Daddy Rehan and Mommy Billa.

"Tante brought Yudhis back here because he was there wrongly because of the lack of attention from Pandu and his young wife, Nak Rehan, Nak Billa."

"Tante hoped that once Yudhis entered college here, he would change, but it turned out to be the same. He's hard to tell and still loves going out at night. Even the last aunt heard, she was appointed chairman of her motorcycle gang."

The oma then turned to Yudhistira who was scratching his head, misbehaving because the oma told the story of Yudhistira to the family he had just met.

Moreover, from earlier Yudhistira realized that Maira was always watching him.

"Tante hopes that Yudhis can be good friends with Nak Maira so that the positive aura of your daughter can be transmitted to the granddaughter of aunts," the old woman who then looked at Maira, with a meaningful gaze.
