"What! Medical school!" chuckling in unison arisan's mothers. Some of those who drank earlier almost choked on hearing Latika's confession about going to medical school.
Latika scratched her unscratchy head. His mind had expected to be introgated this long ago, this would not have happened if Mother Goddess did not tell about her nephew who will enter the lecture because of Latika who they know just finished High School directly in the same question Mother Kania college or noot?
Latika just answer if she wants to go to medical school. His confession managed to attract the attention of the mother of other Arisan mothers.
Yes, arisan's mothers. Latika again gather with Arisan mothers at the home of Mother Kania.
Latika has become a mother-emak ^∇^
"Seriously?" Their faces were close to those with enlarged eyes, just like the eyes of Tarsius, a small primate.
Latika nodded, smiling sweetly in response to them.
"Ih, it's been said, what clear space," said Mother Goddess, waving her hand at other mothers.
It's called Dewi, the woman who has an ideal white body, maroon dress on the knees with the same chest, her hair is straight unraveled, her face is oval with a mole mark under the lips.
Latika calls her Mother Goddess or Mother, because she is 15 years older than Latika.
"Say~ Jeng, medical school is complicated. It has to be this, what else is the book. Beh, most Latin especially the latest books out in English... Kada can I read it," said Mother Kania, the owner of the house sitting next to Latika.
This middle-aged woman, born banjar Masin with a mature sapodilla curls unravelled hair, a fairly closed shirt but tight thighs and pinched chest.
The same Latika calls her Mother Kania or Mother only.
"Oh, Latika you can take that school, are you good at English?" sahut mothers across Latika, dressed in brownish yellow bat robes, hair decomposed with Bandu in harmony with the dress, white skin aged around 30s.
Latika simply responded with a smile, nodding.
"Oh, Jeng Lina. Her husband was the headmaster of the school once studied abroad again, yes surely his wife can speak English too," said the woman sitting next to the woman in brownish yellow clothes who he called Lina, "Isn't Latika, you can speak English?"
"Yes, Mother of Riska." Latika smiled awkwardly, looking very nervous.
"Well, that's good. Husband Principal's Wife Doctor, good good." The mothers at the end of the peguk reach for his tea glass, Latika does not know who it is.
Again Latika nodded, it felt awkward once he was there. She was the youngest there, the rest were already a long way above her and the only one wearing a hijab. Latika has to get used to her surroundings and the people around her. This is his first visit hoping to run smoothly and establish a close relationship with neighbors.
"Afriadi's wife is quiet as well huh," the other mothers rebuked, Latika only replied with a smile.
"Shy maybe he, just joined. Understand that... Do not be shy to think of us as little children," said Mother Kania, welcome to taste the dish.
Latika smiled again.
"That bull is Jeng don't be shy" said another Jeng Jeng.
"Yes, mother." Latika smiled again, she called her Mother to the other Jeng Jeng, showing respect to the old rather than calling her mother not even Latika's mother, moreover, call Jeng adeh it feels like there is a jengkol stuck in the throat is difficult to call it.
"Well, why do we get married young?" asked the mothers who had already noticed Latika, "Wrap Mommy with you."
"Yes Jeng, better young marriage huh, so prevent girls from making it."
"... That's my daughter, I'll marry young, right?"
"Well, unfortunately I don't have a girl."
Sahut mothers at each other's rames.
Suddenly the atmosphere became silent, they all stared at Latika, playing with their index fingers while grinning widely, as they looked at her,
"By the first night, by the way..."
As soon as they said it managed to make Latika's cheeks meet.
Latika smiled bitterly, well mothers can not ask that the habit of tempting newlyweds.
Tuh, Latika was confused as to what to answer. As a result of silence will be tempted by arisan mothers ⁇ ⌣ ⁇
Well, let's go Latika was seduced continuously by arisan mothers.
***
"Huh..." Latika loyo enters the House, it looks like a soy sauce deflects the question of the arisan mothers,
"How's the Deck with the bow?" asked Afriadi when I met him on the stairs.
"Well..." Latika sighed heavily, sitting on the stairs.
Seeing his wife complaining, Afriadi sat down on the stairs next to Latika, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with Arisan's mothers?"
Latika shook her head weakly, propping up her chin.
"Keep what?" ask Afriadi slowly.
"I don't think you can get along with Arisan mothers, Adek is too awkward..."
Afriadi smiled at Latika's explanation, he clasped tightly onto Latika's hand giving her confidence in herself, "Biasalah it's Deck. Adek will be new so if a little awkward it does not matter, how Adek used to enter school awkward will not know anyone over time Adek introduced with friends Adek. Well so is this Adek neighborhood, remember the neighbor is your brother as far as your family must be when Adek sick neighbors who know first, who help Adek... Lagian establish a relationship with the neighbors is good Dek. Adek also need to socialize with the environment Adek? The mothers are friendly too, right Dek?"
Latika is nodding, understand. He was awkward, the problem was the first time he was gathering with high-class mothers, usually he was just the same boarding children, boarding mothers, friends, friends, and there is also the same gathering of friends' mothers but it is familiar already this is what it is.
Rarely come out, rarely greet the neighbors, so the consequences.
Good thing yesterday Afriadi maksa Latika to socialize with his environment.
Yesterday, ahead of Latika pickle making doughnuts from potatoes assisted with Bik Ipah. The plan wants to make a little, but Latika already made a lot because it spilled too much water so it must add more flour again so it is not liquid.
A few minutes' delay.
Afriadi smiled faintly, "What cooking is Deck?"
"Fried donuts." Latika answered briefly.
"Eh, Deck." Afriadi's hand swept across Latika's cheek that was a straw of flour.
Look at Afriadi's eyes as well as the stains on his wife's cheeks. Latika's face red meet.
Behind there was someone watching.
"Non, Bibik stay first yes want to pray asar," said Bik Ipah from behind finished with his task of rounding the dough so small as a ping-pong ball so easy to fry.
"Yes, Bik. Latika can do it," said Latika.
Actually Bik Ipah escaped giving them a chance to be alone.
Sari who was cool in preparing a topping for her donut, even in forced pull Bik Ipah to stay away.
"Sari is praying," muttered Sari still joined in the drag.
"Yes, if that's a yard broom," muttered Bik Ipah, he added whispering in Sari's ear, "You won't hold it here, don't hold on to their affection."
Anu, Bik Ipah unfortunately they both heard clearly, they only saw the strange behavior of the two people.
Latika shook her head, lifting the doughnuts that had been bathed into the filter. Put another donut into the pan, do not forget in the middle hole.
"Again the Deck, huh?" Afriadi offered to help get a nod from Latika, he washed his hands before helping and then swept his palms with oil and hollowed the batter plunged into a sea of hot oil.
During the frying doughnuts assisted Afriadi, he had time to tease Latika by nudging her, Latika who did not accept to return Afriadi's reluctance was over they laughed.
Unfortunately, his reply was only for a moment, fearing that later even wretch was nudged by a frying pan and oil spilled into the body.
"Dek, Adek is now plunged into society and Adek is also an adult. When does Adek want to meet the neighbors, mingle with the mothers around here?"
Afriadi asked on the sidelines of their work.
"Adek has rarely come out so far, Kan status Adek Wife Brother now. They want to know what Afriadi's wife looks like? Listen to the rumors his wife is beautiful, cute, young again." Afriadi joking plus a little scratch lebaynya slightly managed to invite Latika laughter.
"Yes, but later." Latika responded with a sweet smile.
"Em, how about starting with the front neighbor, Mother Kania. The people are friendly and sociable," Afriadi suggested, "Kan Adek for this doughnut, take to the front neighbor of Mother Kania's house she usually late in the afternoon like this accompany her son to play bicycles outside or Adek love the same children who are playing on the street."
Latika meangguk, consider it easy aja beans. But actually.
Twewewww...
Latika stood in front of the fence with a donut on a plate. Wailing to look at the little children and running around on a bicycle, his gaze was fixed on a mother-mother who stood while monitoring her children across the street.
Latika gulps, nervous. He hesitated to come closer, behind Afriadi had pushed Latika with a mouth gesture that persuaded him to go there. He sat in the post, watching Latika.
Bismillah, Latika stepped over the line of the gate, carrying the plate closer to the woman whom Afriadi called Mother Kania.
"Mother's afternoon" said Latika kindly, do not forget to wear the best smile.
The woman looked carefully at Latika from top to bottom, her mouth pouted 180° if fitting MTK lessons maybe her mouth can be used bow time yes.
Latika was already nervous, her heart had been beating fast, it had started to be prejudiced if she was sure... Yes, I refused Latika's presence.
Latika gave a plate of donuts to Kania not forgetting to smile, but this time Latika's smile was not as happy as earlier, the nervous effect of the time was yes.
"Oh, thank you." The woman accepted happily.
Inner Latika gawked, beyond her expectations. It's true she said she was a friendly woman, for what to fear.
"You're Afriadi's wife, right?" ask her with a smile carving.
"Yes," Latika replied with a smile as well.
"Ah, it turns out to be true. I forgot, yesterday I saw it in the press... You rarely go out. Well, it's true as people tell you, beautiful and sweet..." At length he spoke until finally he invited Latika to join in the collection of payday money curhatan husband, eh meaning arisan.
"Eh, would you like not to join the new arrivals of mothers around here? Pretty loh, fill free time" he bargained.
"Em, can. But, I permission was the same brother,"
Since then Latika joined the arisan and his shield was started earlier.
"Sir." Afriadi patted Latika on the back, breaking her daydream.
"Eh," Latika looked at Afriadi.
"What do you think?" tanya Afriadi raised both eyebrows.
"It's nothing." Latika shook her head, "That's Adek going to take a bath."
Latika stood up continuing her steps.
"Oh, yes Dek. About the list of lectures have been taken care of, MOS will be notified in the group," said Afriadi.
Latika turned her head with her shocked facial expression, "Abang has already registered right?"
"Yes, thanks to the help of the team."
Afriadi sok cute, prick both cheeks with index finger while smiling sweetly.
Latika held back a laugh, look at her Husband's expression, can-ja joking at the right time.
