Seeing Rani


...◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇...


So happy Laili can be invited to the market by Arsy. It's just the two of them because it will always be like that, they will go everywhere both and there will be no one else to accompany.


"Mom, Laili can't buy fried chicken?" tanyakanya. Stopped Arsy's move by pulling his hand when he saw the fried chicken seller in front of the market.


Arsy turned his head, saw the seller and turned to Laili. "We can buy it later to eat at home."


"Yes, Mom." Laili grew happier, as she stepped over, smiling and never letting go of Arsy's hand.


The more happy Laili was when he had grasped the clear plastic containing fried chicken that Arsy bought, while waiting for his mother to pay he continued to look impatiently and only cut small to taste.


"Mom, this is very tasty," he said with a face that looked up to Arsy. Arsy smiled and went back to holding Laili to walk again.


It turns out that Arsy went to the market not only to buy food that had been used up at home, but he also bought some materials for him to sew in Tantri budhe place.


Although initially there was no intention but eventually slowly Arsy has begun to master. No need for expensive paid courses also do not need high school and now he has begun to be helped by budhe Tantri.


It turns out that Arsy does have a talent for it, he is only a graduate of Elementary School, but he is besik in fashion affairs. He can design can also combine which fabrics are suitable.


Arsy still continued to choose a few pieces of fabric that he would buy, not only paying attention to the material he wanted but he also saw the price was relatively cheap.


Arsy has not really needed a good cloth because he is also just a learning stage. Until finally the shopkeeper showed the leftover cloths that were definitely cheaper than the others.


"Mom, what do you buy, what do you do?" ask Laili curiously.


"Mom wants to make clothes for Laili, will you?" answer Arsy. Even if only small pieces would be enough if only for Laili's clothes. Which should be a few pieces only Arsy can get many pieces with a variety of colors and kinds.


"You want to," Laili nodded quickly. She was very happy that she would finally have a new dress, especially her own mother's clothes, which would be very satisfying.


"So how much is it, Ma'am?"


"Everything ninety-nine, Ma'am." Answer the shopkeeper. His smile is so friendly that customers will always stay there.


Transactions are done and Arsy managed to get a cloth that is really one crackle with a decent size. Even if only a half-meter or fewer pieces would be enough for Laili's clothes, all for Arsy to learn.


"Now we're home." Already getting everything makes Arsy very happy, he returned to hold Laili and they walked together.


"Mom, isn't that Budhe Rani?" Laili pointed at someone as she walked, showed Arsy and obviously made him look over as well.


Arsy is speechless, he also stops to look while making sure that he doesn't see people wrong. It turned out to be true, he was Rani who was sitting in a food stall opposite a man.


'Who's sister Rani talking to?' inner Arsy.


It looks Rani is so familiar with the man as well as the man who even holds the hand of Rani who is on the table. There's no way Rani's playing with fire behind her sister-in-law, right?


"Mom, let's go home. Laili is already very hungry." take Laili. Back he pulls Arsy's hand and makes his daydreams go away.


"I_iya," Arsy walked back. The two got into one of the public transports that happened to pass in front of them.


For a moment Arsy still saw Rani and the man, the more he saw the more he believed that Rani indeed had more relationship with the man.


...◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇...


So Laili ate with fried chicken bought from the market. Fortunately, his grandparents were also his father was not home because he had not come home, if it was possible there would be drama before eating.


"Assalamu'alaikum," said one. His voice was very familiar Laili and clearly immediately made him turn his head.


"Wa'alaikumsalam, Rey's sister!" exclaim Laili. He immediately stood up and welcomed the arrival of his older cousin.


"Laili what else?" tanyakanya.


"No, I ate." Rey sat down next to Laili to see the little guy eating again.


It was only a moment when Rey sat Arsy out with a glass of water that he wanted to give to Laili.


"Rey," said Arsy. He stepped even faster and placed the glass on the table in front of Laili who was still eating. Arsy.


"You alone?" ask Arsy again.


"Yes, Bulik. Mama and papa haven't come home and Rey is lonely at home so just come here so she can play with Laili."


"How are you doing, you're healthy?" Arsy is sitting down.


"healthy? Rey's not sick." The answer, it sounds very clear and there is also honesty in his eyes.


Not sick? But yesterday didn't Rani say Rey was sick?


"Oh, thank goodness you're healthy. Eat ya, with Laili?"


"No, Bulik. Rey ate it, "he replied.


Arsy is silent again, why Rani lied and why must the health of her own son be toyed with. She's obviously so healthy why did she say she was sick?


"Bulik why?" rey asked curiously because she saw Arsy who was silent.


"It's okay," Arsy smiled slightly, trying to act mediocre so Rey didn't suspect anything and asked again.


Arsy also feels very strange, shouldn't Rani be working for now, but why did she just see him in the market?


"Bulik enter first yes, you play with Laili if she has finished eating, Bulik wants to be holy first," said Arsy.


Rey nodded, feeling strange about the Buliknya but he did not dare to ask and chose to stay silent.


While at the market, Rani had just come out of one of the clothing stores with a man. The two continue to join together so closely as a teenager who is in a drunken romance.


"Mas, thank you for buying it. Where everything is good again." said Rani.


Obviously he was very happy because of the treat of the man who had a slightly distended stomach.


The man smiled, he turned his head and stroked Rani's chin so gently.


"What the hell isn't. Just this is small to me, the most important thing is that you always give me the rewards I deserve" he replied.


"Ready, it doesn't matter what matters most every month."


"As per the reward you give, Rani. The more often, the more often you get the things you want" he said.


The happier Rani hears the telling of the male's distended stomach. Obviously he will also be willing because he really likes shopping, he really likes shopping.


"Thank you, Mom."


"Together, Rani. Now there's only reward left for me." The more the man's spirit embraces Rani. Looks more impatient until finally they both get into a black car parked not far away.


"Mas, tomorrow-tomorrow we buy it in the mall yes," said Rani.


"Ready," he answered and started running the car.
