Part 34: Mess 2
This morning Mr. Ari went to work, they tried to forget whatever happened last night, his wife Pak Ari was not a typical who believed too much such a thing, he said, there must be a reason why Mr. Ari could have misunderstood and misheard last night.
“Later Bi Iyem dateng ya Mah, you if tired of just rest first, let Bi Iyem who works.”
“Iya Pah, yaudah, ati-ati yes.” His wife kissed the back of Mr. Ari's hand and then followed Akbar afterwards. Pak Ari went by motor only, because the distance between the factory and mess is only about 30 minutes.
After the departure of Mr. Ari, his wife began several more, this morning breakfast dishes have not been washed, so he is now preparing to wash the dishes.
“Akbar, play in the TV room only yes, Mamah do the dishes first.”
“Iya, Mah.”
Then he began to clean the dining table and bring the dishes to the dishwasher.
Start with all the dirty glasses, soap them and rinse with clean water, then put them on the edge of the sink to dry first, when rinsing the second glass and put the glass again, then put it on the side of the sink to dry first, mr. Ari's wife was shocked, really, the glass was not in reverse, she felt that she had just put it upside down so that the used water down and the glass became dry quickly.
“Ah, maybe I forgot.” Pak Ari's wife flipped the first glass again and put the second glass next to her. Then continue with the next glass.
“Loh!” Pak Ari's wife was shocked, because the two glasses she just put upside down have now changed position to face up again, Pak Ari's wife was shocked and confused, because she couldn't possibly forget, he had just turned the two glasses over.
Her hair started to stand up, she held her nape as she felt goosebumps, looking to the right and to the left as she was sure something was watching her.
He kept looking around, as he unintentionally looked into the television room, he saw Akbar standing staring intently at him, then smiling, no! he didn't smile, but he grinned.
Pak Ari's wife immediately ran to get close to Akbar, when it was near ….
“Mah!” Someone called out to him from the direction of the main door, to his surprise he looked towards the main door.
“Acbar!” It turns out that Akbar is near the main door, Pak Ari's wife spontaneously saw again Akbar who she just saw was in front of the television. Nothing, there was already no Akbar grinning it.
“Mah, this is no guest.” Akbar tells his mother that there is a guest, so Akbar opens the door.
“I-iya Nak.” His wife Pak Ari was still confused, but he had to accept the guest who came first, until finally his attention was diverted.
“My Bu Iyem, who was told to work here.”
“Oh yes, my husband has told Bi Iyem to come, come in, Bi.” His wife Pak Ari invited in, they sat in the living room, if from the living room, we can see the television room also because there is no partition.
“Bi Iyem stay where?”
“Deket bu, in alley twelve, the entrance of the village next door, but actually deket kok.”
“Yes, if that's how we can start, the house, right, not big, one floor, I need help to finish the clothes first as the bathroom, brushes, bathroom in my room and bathroom in the living room.”
“Iya, good bu, just ...”
“Why, Bi?”
“Mother lives here?” The real question is normal, but somehow, Bi Iyem face like hinting at something else.
“Betah Insyaallah, the name of the new house, yes need adaptation.” Pak Ari's wife replied diplomatically.
“Thankful then, but I don't nginep ya ma'am, I came home afternoon.”
“Yes, it's okay, I prefer that Bi Iyem nginep, there is indeed a room near the kitchen, but said Mr. Ari, Bi Iyem can not nginep yaudah is okay.”
“Iya sorry mom, I don't dare.”
“Hah, don't you dare?”
“Eh does not mean, do not dare to leave my child.” Bi Iyem sounded fabricated, because that was not the reason.
“Iya bu.” Bi Iyem started cleaning the bathroom inside the main room first.
“Akbar, want a snack or want to play what? Mom wants to keep washing dishes.”
“Akbar want to play a bike, Mah, can?”
“Bby, but do not go far yes, afraid of stray, do you not know the area here.”
“Iya, Mah.” Akbar then went out and started to make the surgery, while his wife Pak Ari returned to the sink of the dishwasher, the glass was back in the upside down position, honestly, his wife Pak Ari also did not remember very well whether it had been flipped again the glass, but he did not want to take a headache let alone complain.
…
Brak!
Someone slammed the door. His wife Pak Ari was drinking tea at the dining table, while Bi Iyem was cleaning Akbar's clothes in Akbar's room.
“Akbar, slow down, don't slam!” Pak Ari's wife shouted. Then Akbar saw running straight, he must have gone to the bathroom, because if from the front door, there is a living room, then a television room, after the door of Akbar's room, a new bathroom outside. So she must have gone to the bathroom. Because from a small Akbar has been accustomed if after playing outside must wash hands and feet.
“If you have finished washing your hands and feet, come here, have lunch first.” Mr. Akbar's wife shouted again.
No answer, quiet.
“Bar ...” He called again, “do not overtime in his bathroom, do not play water.” Still no answer.
Mr. Ari's wife then left her stool and was about to go to the bathroom, the bathroom door opened a little, but it was seen that there was no one there, the front door was also in a slightly open state. Wasn't Akbar closing the door in a way? How is the position open now?
Pak Ari's wife started to feel scared, she obviously saw Akbar, but where he was, if you remember, he did look like Akbar, but his legs, his legs, were very dirty, he said, there was a lot of clay stuck to his feet, no, not just the soles of his feet, but all over his feet, there was clay and the boy, actually looked more black than Akbar.
“Bu!” Pak Ari's wife was surprised, she jumped because of the call.
“Ke-Why Bi?”
“Mother why? how about yelling all the time?”
“I-it, that was the feeling Akbar went straight into the bathroom, but why now there is no?”
“Hah? No one goes into the bathroom, Miss.”
“Emang Bi Iyem was not horrified, earlier Akbar closed the door slammed, so I said do not banting.”
“No, I didn't hear the door slammed, Bu.”
“But ...”
“But why, Mom?”
“Hmm, no.” His wife Pak Ari did not want to share his fear with Bi Iyem, he was afraid that Bi Iyem did not feel at home and ended up not helping him in this house anymore.
“Yakin ma'am, nothing?”
“Iya no, like the voice of the neighbors deh, I was again dumbfounded, so kayak surprised aja.”
“Iya Ma'am, don't be so dumb, let alone here.”
“Means?”
“I continue working again yes, Bu.” Bi Iyem then continued his work, he did not answer the meaning of his words.
Although afraid, but Pak Ari's wife does not want to be seen always complaining, let alone Pak Ari's position in the factory is high enough, she does not want to be a burden for her husband, she will endure everything, she will endure everything, hopefully it was just because he saw it wrong .. and heard it.
