The warm embrace of the old man was so comfortable. Nandita always felt moved every time she met her grandfather, and was greeted with a hug.
Gratified
God gave him a chance to feel all that. Before later different realms separate, and only prayer can be used as an introduction to longing.
"Add more fat you now hhmmm,,." Grandpa said as he rubbed his grandson's head. The old face now looks much fresher. It was different than when I was in the hospital.
"Yes cake,,, repeat students, Dita stress. So just keep eating,,." A bright smile graced the woman who used to be called a coriander seed by Gunadh.
"Please drink Dita's tea, invite her friends as well." Aunt Sari was friendly in front of Gunadh.
Unlike the Aunt Goddess who is her face is more judes than Aunt Sari. He did not even greet Nandita and Gunadh at all. He just satirized through Tasya.
"Are you happy to be out of the house all day?? Even to stay in an unclear place. Want to be like people, who have no rules of life?? Live freely without parental supervision." Her fawning with eyes occasionally glanced at Nandita.
Tasya remained silent, as did Nandita and Gunadh. Aunt Dewi dared to say that because grandfather had entered his room.
Nandita and Gunadh soon leave the grandfather's mansion, because the atmosphere is not as warm as when they first came, when the grandfather welcomed him.
On the way to his parents' residence, Nandita apologizes to Gunadh for the discomfort presented at his grandfather's house.
"I'm sorry, I have to grieve the Aunt Goddess's Nagging."
"What ga, you're not wrong either. Why do you have to apologize??"
"Yes, but it's not nice to show anger in front of others." Nandita said with a straight-forward look.
Nandita and Gunadh remain silent until they enter the residential area where Nandita lives. Only then did Nandita open her voice pointing at the road, while Gunadh followed suit and only nodded in response.
Upon arrival at home, the situation is still quiet. Because the day is still daytime, of course the father is still at the farm, while the mother usually ironed in the back.
Mommy opened a home laundry business. The customers are not too many, but enough to help meet the needs of the family.
"Yet, yeah,,,." Call Nandita from the front door, but no one opens. At the end of it he opened his own door. Sure enough the door wasn't locked.
"Is your house deserted by Ta??" Gunadh asked who followed Nandita from behind.
"Sssstttt don't make a fuss,, adek me again sleeping it in the TV room." Nandita pointed towards the connected TV room of the living room. It is separated by a long sofa facing the TV.
Gunadh immediately shut his mouth.
"Sorry." Speak without sound.
Slowly Nandita stepped on her feet. He picked up the ballpoint pen lying next to the TV. The idea came up to prank his youngest sister.
Slowly he made thin streaks on Malikha's white cheeks. After that he deliberately threw the ballpoint pen from a distance that he felt safe to hide. Gunadh also did not forget he secured.
Clacking
A loud enough sound woke Malikha who was asleep on the sofa. He looks around.
Slender
Silent
Not even a mosquito could pass.
'It's still daylight when ghosts are in action' said Malikha monologue.
Nandita threw back the paper that had been squeezed. He threw in the opposite direction to Malikha's gaze.
The youngest of the three brothers could not stand it anymore, he finally ran while shouting
"Yetoooooo!!!!! Ika takuuuut, there's a ghost of Ika lemarin..!!" Prattling
Nandita laughed out loud at her sister's behavior. Already in High School but still a coward. Gunadh just smiled. Because unknowingly, he also participated in Nandita's ignorance, because he was silent when the girl acted.
Malikha who realized there was a sound of laughter behind her, the more scared and the faster she ran. But soon after he realized, the laughter was very familiar in his ears. He then turned around and chased after Nandita who had been wary of the presence of his sister.
"No morals, no morals,, less aseeem,, I said that Byan later yes, just be careful. I really swear my sister is married to a ten-child widower!!" Umbat Malikha while continuing to pursue her brother.
"The prayers of the rich cowardly child you will not be horrified by God weeee." Nandita stuck out her tongue. Malikha who was upset at the end sat down and cried.
Mother walked hurriedly towards the living room which sounded noisy. He was afraid that a thief might enter and Malikha could not save herself.
"Why are you, son??" Ask her from far away. He did not even show his face, but his voice was heard.
Arriving in the living room, the mother just kept quiet. He saw Malikha's face that was already soaked by tears, and the thin streak on the girl's cheeks made him have to hold back his laughter with all his might.
He glanced at the figure standing some distance away from where Malikha was. Definitely the suspect of this commotion, is him.
He approached the child towards him. Nandita who already knew the habit of the mother was about to run away but was immediately prevented by Gunadh.
"Dare to dare to take responsibility dear,,." Tempt the man.
Finally Nandita's ears become the mother's delicious food.
"Mother for mercy Bun,,, sick,, fighting,,,." Nandita is not acting. He really felt his ears would break.
"Let's just,,, ga until he broke up with his narik mother,." Answer mom relax.
"Mother, shame on Gunadh,,." Whispered Nandita, he only realized that his behavior was noticed by Gunadhyia.
Malikha and Santi's mother realized there was someone else in the room.
Mother pulled her hand from Nandita's ear. He also felt embarrassed to present the drama in front of guests who had just come to his house for the first time.
"Why didn't you tell me that you took someone else home??"
Gutted my mother in a soft voice.
"So I forgot my mother,,." Answer Nandita.
Late after a few minutes in an awkward atmosphere, Santi's mother greeted Gunadh first.
"Please sit down first, sorry son,,," mother did not continue her sentence because she did not know the name of the guest.
"I'm Gunadhyia Aunt, but call her Gunadh aja." Gunadh said as he greeted Miss Santi's hand with respect.
"Yes, please sit down, Gunadh,,." Repeat mother Santi again.
Mother prepares drinks and snacks for children and their guests. Nandita was going to the kitchen, but was prevented by the mother.
"Please drink, son, I'm so sorry." Mommy said again, it is not delicious just to serve warm tea and cassava decoction with grated coconut on it.
"Thank you Mom, this is so special. I rarely eat fresh cassava like this." Gunadh said, he took a piece of cassava and ate it greedily.
Mommy Santi is very happy because her guests can appreciate the simple dishes she serves.
Gunadh chatted with mother, some time before the end of his darma sir came.
Nandita who heard the sound of the father's motorbike, immediately went out to welcome the head of the family.
"Yeshine...." He said with a cheerful smile.
The father also smiled at the behavior of his daughter. They walk hand in hand, as Nandita explains that she is coming home with Gunadh.
After cleaning up, he joined his guests in the living room.
Gunadh introduces himself, and his relationship with Nandita in the presence of his father, mother. He said that Nandita was the one he trusted to look after his son the last few months. And now they're close as men and women adults
"Yes believe in Nandita, you can definitely take care of yourself. Likewise for Gunadh, om sure you have grown up to distinguish what kind of closeness you can and cannot live." Said the wise father.
Gunadh nodded his head. Not knowing what to respond to.
Until the afternoon they chatted, until the mother poked Nandita's hand.
"Biarin Gunadh chat with dad, we ready to eat dinner first yuk." invite mother.
Nandita nodded, then permission to go back. While Malikha still did not come out of the room earlier. He was still angry because of his brother's disgust.
"Of,,,,. Nandita said on holiday this time she wanted to go to Singapore. I want permission to accompany him. Because this was his first experience abroad, I didn't want him to get constrained there." Gunadh said the intention of his arrival.
"Nandita asked you to do this, son?" Ask Mr. Darma.
"oohh no om, even Nandita did not know that I was here with the intention of asking permission. Nandita knew I was just driving her home, and getting to know you." Obviously Gunadh again. He certainly did not expect Mr. Darma would misunderstand Nandita.
From the interactions he saw, the Nandita family was a warm and loving family. He does not want to hurt one of them, let alone be the cause of them hurting each other.
"Alright then, om believe there is a child om. Nandita can take care of herself. And now you also offer to be able to take care of him. Don't break that trust."
"Om sure. I have failed in my household because of disbelief, it is impossible for me to do the same to others. It feels like being betrayed is really painful." Terang Gunadh's.
After finishing dinner, Gunadh was about to leave. But prevented by Mr. Darma.
"just here, tomorrow morning just back.it's already night. Moreover, you're the first to come here, not too poultice the same way."
Finally it was that night that Gunadh stayed at Nandita's house for the first time.
