My Son Is My Strength
Meet the Neighbor Kos

Arini came out of the house to the highway, and called one of the ojek for her to ride to the market.

A few moments later, he arrived at the market and got off the motorcycle and paid for it and did not forget to say thank you.

Arini walked around the market, looking for ingredients that she would use to make cakes and buy them. When he passed by the butchers, his stomach felt nauseous again smelling a fishy smell that was very pungent in his nose.

Arini quickly covered her nose with one hand, while the other hand held the groceries she had just bought. And he walked fast and half running, passing the butchers.

If you do not remember this is a public place, even more so selling food, surely Arini has been spewing back his stomach contents since he smelled it. But, because I remember that. Arini held herself back as much as possible, not to spit out her bowels again like this morning.

"Yourf...." Arini let out a strong sigh, half bored.

"Not to vomit." Arini said softly to herself, after being able to catch her breath that had been a little irregular, while stroking her chest. Then take a walk back through the market.

"Arin, wait!"

"Rin, wait!"

There was the sound of someone calling Arini from behind. However, due to the current market hustle, it made the sound inaudible to Arini.

"Arin, hey!"

The shopping attraction that Arini brought, almost made Arini scream 'thief' if only the culprit did not quickly show his face.

"Sinya." Said Arini, then heaved a sigh of relief. While the person he just called his name, who was none other than Naya, his boarding neighbor, was still breathing hard, as a result of running and screaming calling Arini's name.

"Huft... huft... Why don't you stop, when I've called repeatedly?" Naya asks Arini still bored.

"Ah. sorry. I didn't hear you, because your voice is too small." Arini answered a question from Naya.

"Sycyleness?" Naya glared, hearing Arini's reply. Because, he had shouted as loud as possible, until his vocal cords wanted to be dislodged for calling the name of his boarding neighbor.

"I.Yes." Arini replied hesitantly, scratching her non-itchy head then smiling wryly.

"Here you go, forget it." Lirih Naya later, then invite Arini back down the market.

"You how are you now? Mom's just as adept as you are?" Ask Naya, while walking hand in hand with Arini.

"Thank God I am well, as you see now. My mom and my brother are fine too." Answer Arini. "How are you doing yourself?" Arini asked back.

"Alhamdulillah I'm fine too." Naya answered Arini's question. "Oh yeah, you know what? I've moved the cost because there are no more residents in our first boarding house. Everyone was home, so I moved. You see, I'm afraid that if I live alone, which one has the cost has also been able to ride the rent." Naya explains her turmoil all this time, after Arini out of the boarding house.

Arini's voice was not heard to respond to his words, making Naya turn her head to the side, where Arini was. However, there was no Arini beside him.

"Eh... Where's arini going? It was here! But where? The hell, I hallucinated meeting him. It's been sad for my life, then. It's so convenient to provide it that hallucinations meet with Arini." Murmured Naya stared dumbly at the side.

Naya patted her own eel, when she saw the existence of Arini who was waiting in line to buy a ramjak, at the seller's foot three across there. Then he walked up to Arini, babbling unclear because it was wrong for Arini who died talking alone. “It's like crazy only.” Naya murmured in the heart.

"Jeez Arin, it turns out you're here. I told you myself I'm rich a madman knows." Naya said as she approached Arini. He shook his head to see the behavior of his boarding neighbors who could leave him to talk alone for the sake of eating rujak.

"So I thought, I was hallucinating because suddenly you just disappeared next to me." Naya said again with pursed lips.

Arini patted her own eel. He just remembered, that was chatting with Naya and immediately played away, without inviting Naya to come with him. because so tempted he saw the spirit, and could not wait to taste it. He had even repeatedly swallowed his saliva.

"Jeez, I'm sorry Naya. I don't intend to let you speak for yourself. I forgot to take you, hehehe...." Arini apologizes to Naya for ignoring him, then smiles grimly in front of Naya.

Naya just exhaled her breath, hearing Arini's unreasonable speech in her opinion. Arini could have forgotten to invite him, while he and Arini were chatting, and went hand in hand. But how else? Naya can't be mad at Arini if she apologizes to him.

"Yes, yes, you always forget me, I'm not your lover you should always remember." Naya said in a taut tone, pretending to be angry at Arini and turning her eyes away.

"Emmm... Are you mad at me?" Arini hesitantly asked, afraid that Naya would get even more angry. Then he lowered his head, feeling very guilty to Naya.

Naya who saw Arini taking speech seriously, felt guilty. And he immediately corrected his words.

"No, I'm not angry. It was just a joke, you don't have to take my words seriously." Naya answers Arini's question, as well as his words.

Arini looked up and said, "Are you seriously not mad at me?" ask Arini reassuringly.

"Yes, I'm serious." Answer Naya.

"Ah.. alhamdulillah, I thought you were really angry." Arini breathed a sigh of relief, hearing Naya's reply while smiling sumringah.

"Yes, I'm not angry. Just kidding me." Naya chimed in on the word Arini.

Naya, too, recounted her turmoil earlier that Arini did not have time to listen. And now, Arini listened to him carefully. Sometimes chiming in, then asking. Until Arini's order arrived.

"Excuse me, this is the recipe." The street vendor carries Arini's order, thus stopping Arini and Naya's ongoing conversation.

"Yes kang, thank you." Answer Arini and give ten thousand money to the seller of rujak.

Arini offers a rujak to Naya, and Naya also eats the rujak bought by Arini.

After finishing eating rujak, Arini and Naya went on to buy ingredients that they had not had time to buy, then after finishing with their respective groceries. They separated and went back to their own places.
