Pamite
30. Mysteriously

After Jaka's departure, I called Dara. Intentionally I made a video call, I wanted to talk and see my children in the house.

"Hi mbak, I'm wearing a mask that I bought in, mbak. Delicious, adem. How about the smallest of me? What pain? Not bad, right? You don't have to go to the hospital, do you?" Dara immediately charged me with various questions.

"One-one, Dar nanyanya. Anin's okay, it'll heal in a few days. He's got dengue fever, so he's got to stay here. Which Agil's same Alif?"

"Agil is asleep, like the twins. Alif's still learning, I told him to take a break."

"Where's mom?"

"Sleeping with his grandson. They all sleep under mom's armpits." Dara laughed with satisfaction showing the three little children who were being embraced by the woman over fifty years old.

"Mother cape, take care of my children too."

"Ish, what's the matter, anyway? Not every day either. Especially after the mbak business is finished, it's mbak never nitipin children. Just this time, it's also good for my family. Thanks to money from mbak, mothers can save more. I also have my own income because, um. If Ayu became my sister-in-law, I would have loved me directly."

"What, the hell are you?" ask me while laughing. I forgot that I was waiting for my son in the hospital. "What do you think diomelin is, anyway?" my continue.

"Yes, I'm justin. I turned back, kept a distance of a few days, I began to have orders. Keep the money from mbak who in the first month I share to know brother. Still a little objected, anyway. But I also want to prove to my brother that my college will not be disturbed by my work. Finally got, deh," he answered cheerfully.

"Alhamdulillah, if so. Ma'am is actually very curious to know your brother. Three months' stay I never met your brother at all?" I asked who couldn't hide my curiosity.

"It's actually mbak..."

Khemes.

I heard the voice of the man who was beating loudly. Like it was intentional. I scanned around the room where Dara was sitting. There's no one I can find except Dara.

"Who, Dar? Why did you stop talking?"

"Huh? No, mbak. Its nothing. You want to talk to Alif?"

Oh, my God, I forgot that the point I called Dara was to talk to her.

"Yes, where is he?"

Again, I suspect something. There was someone who cleared his throat intentionally, then now when Alif took over Dara's property, there was someone who turned his back to Alif standing like he was doing something. Was he the one who cleared his throat? Why does his body look like someone? And his shirt I've seen, too?

"Assalamu'alaikum mother," said Alif to my surprise.

Instantly the man went straight from there as soon as Alif said his regards. It made me wonder, but a second later, I ignored it.

"Waalaikumsalam, baby. Son, I can't go home tonight. Adek had to stay in the hospital because of dengue fever. Sis Alif was sleeping at Lin's grandmother's house first, yes. Don't be mischievous and troublesome, tomorrow morning mom's coming home."

"Oh, yes ma'am. Mother be careful there. Tomorrow I'll go home to school, I'll help you take care of me, yeah."

"Can. Now rest, first yes. Love the hape to mbak Dara."

"Dar, I nitip Alif sak Agil last night, yeah. Tomorrow morning I go home," I said to Dara.

"Yuh, just relax, ma'am. Anyway, calm down. They're safe with me and mom and there's a brother too, he likes kids. Alif is also familiar with my brother. Anyway kids, mbak here is like my own family."

"Ever several times. Brother, it's that..."

Khemes.

I heard Deheman again. This led me to conclude something. Maybe the man who is always complained by Dara does not want me to know who he is, or indeed his closed personality, I don't know.

Aware of that, I decided to end the call. I don't feel good if my obroan makes other people uncomfortable.

The next day, everything was a complete mess. My intention to go home first was constrained because Anin did not want me to stay. The little boy kept whining if I put him in bed.

Already since dawn I was carrying him, until now it was half seven, he did not want me to put it down. I finally told Dara to let Alif not go to school today.

"This is Alif going to school. I took clothes at the store, I forced Ani to open the store for a while so I could take clothes Alif with Agil. Ma'am Ayu from earlier I did not answer the phone. So I'm reckless. Not angry, is he?"

"Not that, Dar. Not angry with me. Its nothing. I'm the one who's sorry, make you bother too. Who's Alif?"

"Abang. Later all narik, later let the brother who explained why Alif did not wear a uniform. Ma'am just relax anyway, Alif same Agil has settled here."

"Ngrepotin your brother also dong so."

I'm really not very good if I always bother the Lin family. Even though I always gave him money and food in return, I still felt uneasy. I felt that my gift was not worth the hassles of Ms. Lin and the others. Now in addition to his widower son who also bother because of my son.

Just putting my hole on the bed, it went back on fire. There was a message from Rifki asking for location share. I gave it to him without asking much. This was a chance for me to go home, or at least ask for her help to pick up some clothes.

[What are you bringing?] a message from Rifki

[No, Rif. I just need someone to take care of Anin. He hasn't let go of me since dawn. I'm going home for a second. Anin, you know you, maybe she wants you to take care of her]

[Otw darling]

[Unfortunately for Anin, yes not for you] quickly failed.

I just laughed a little. I don't care what he calls me. Want him to call me love, love or whatever he'll still be a bitch to me.

Half an hour later, Rifki arrived in her work clothes. And he carries tentengan in his right hand, I don't know what it contains.

"What time do you work in? It's office hours."

"Hour nine. Go home, and here you go Anin!" Rifki stretched out her hands to take Anin from my sling.

Anin had already started whining as her body felt moved.

"Hey, it's om. Om Rifki, if there is fruit for Anin, look around, big boy, yes this must be delicious, nih. We'll eat together, yuk! We're safe playing, yeah. Kiss first, kiss first. Ih Asem." Various words of seduction were issued by Rifki in order to keep Anin.

A moment after issuing his deathly appeal, Anin burst out as well. Don't want to waste my chance quickly I'm out of there.
