Sam
One by one ...

*

Health and physical limitations meant Sam could not help more. Pain he still feels occasionally. Moreover, the recovery period is still not even two weeks.

Even in the workshop, Sam was just silent in front of a computer screen. Occasionally check the team who is serving or who is changing customer parts.

If you are in the workshop, his attention is still distracted by the busyness that exists. But if you're at home, Sam can't be quiet not to think about Nada. How's the story going? Distance and opportunity are not on his side.

Planning to return to visit the house of Nada, only limited to plan. His hands could not be used for long journeys. Especially to get to the place Nada takes an hour drive.

Many times he has typed chat in the green app. But Sam also deleted it many times. I don't know, his courage evaporated just by remembering his physical like now. Maybe intentionally giving pause is no problem. He will focus on Reva's problem first.

Siti emerges from the kitchen and finds Sam in the living room.

"Mas, please Vidio call same mom, can you? It's bulik again this error."

"Awhile, Bulik," said Sam and switched to his phone. In front of him there are still many fried emping that will be packed into plastic clip. For a snack event tomorrow morning.

"Belik wash your hands for a while," said Siti as she passed.

Immediately Sam pressed the vidio call button on mama.

"Assalamualaikum, Sam?" sapa Tantri was so stared at with the smiling face of the child welcoming her.

"Guilu, Ma." Sam smiled again when Mom looked enthusiastic.

"Healthy, you?"

"Alhamdulillah, healthy Ma. Mama's healthy?"

"Alhamdulillah. Uh, how's the project? The road?" Tantri certainly know about Sam's business plan funded by Alif–kakakaknya.

"Yet, Ma. The material has not been all delivered. But if readiness is already running. Maybe today."

"Yes, good luck, yes," Tantri really hoped.

Sam glanced at Bulik Siti who had finished cleaning her hands. "Emmm, this is a bulik Siti wants to talk to mama. Mama's a little free, right?"

"Mama relax this." Tantri shook her hand like she was facing directly, "yes, love the gap!"

Sam smiles and gives Siti a phone and Siti brings Sam's phone back.

"Pinjem jerk off, Sam. Not nyampe an hour," cried Siti as she passed.

"Cruel he said, Sam," the seductive mother-of-mother who was packing the oven nuts, sat not far from Sam.

"Mom-mother, if you've been chatting, must have forgotten the time," Sam murmured while shaking his head and exhaling a big breath.

"Where and how, the same mothers, Sam," as well as women dressed in batik in dark blue headscarves.

"If you've been talking, you can forget the time," added the others.

Sam slightly threw a smile at the four neighbors near Siti's bulik who helped.

As long as he was there, they didn't even mention Reva. Makes Sam a little more relieved. He was just afraid that the neighbor's speech would make Reva mentally worse even though it was unintentional.

"Busy, ngapunten kulo pamit riyin njih. Kulo wonten. Monggo in sekecakaken," (Mom-mom, sorry I said yes. I have a need. Please continue,)" said Sam and they replied:

"Yes Sam. Wes Kono leren sikek. Ben doesn't want to see tangane." Yes, Sam. Take a break first. Let him not hurt his hand.

"Come, wes. Bene the mothers of Iki's work, "Yes, I've. Let Nyang's mothers do this.

Making Sam immediately stand up to walk a bit down in disdain. It's not entirely easy to see them joking around as they always do.

Sam went back to his room just to break down. Quite a lot it helps pack emping up to four full big jars. A little tired but pretty fun.

However, shortly afterwards. Sam remembered Nada. The girl had been so distracting to his thoughts lately. Moreover, some time ago had time to visit him. Making her re-review the meaningful knotty smile rising on her face.

Happy heart cannot cover Sam. Even though the face looks flat. However, the arches on the right and left of his lips changed Sam's resolute face that looked so alluring to everyone who looked at him.

Unfortunately, Sam out there rarely shows the other side of himself. A firm face and an efficient smile is what Sam often shows to people. Especially those who are not familiar with it.

So, it is not uncommon for some of Siti's neighbors to conclude her nephew the minimal expression.

With the appearance of Reva's figure shortly after the door knob moved then opened perfectly.

"You're flipping, Mas" said Reva as he walked closer.

"Tumben, a stretch of doang?" he asked, "usually, kann..."

"Old," said Reva quickly with a chuckle. Making Sam also chuckle to see the face of his cousin can already smile.

Since she became pregnant, the girl was more alone. Stay in the room. Out of the room just to shower. Because the bathroom is not designed in the room.

"Kok can be on you, Rev," he said, receiving a hape from Reva's hand.

"Yes, I had a little talk with Bude."

"My mama?"

"Who else, who else" snorted Reva a little sewot.

His attitude like this makes Sam again remembered the figure of Nada. Tone again. It's very irritating. I want to meet him.

"Ish, that's sewot. Candidates manten should not pout. Not good, loh," seduced Sam while pinching Reva's cheek angrily.

"Who said?"

"I'm the one,"

"Refault! You are not yet a bride. It could have been me talking, Mas," sneer Reva mocked.

"Yes too. But, unfortunately, this is also true" Sam chuckled.

Reva did not respond and chose to sit on the edge of the mattress by staring at the leaves out there, which swayed in the wind.

"Mas," call Reva after a few minutes of silence without rubbing each other.

"Hm," replied Sam glanced at Reva then back at his phone.

"I want my blessing for the wedding tomorrow" said Reva and was able to divert Sam's attention.

There was a short interval of time before Sam reviewed a little smile. "My cousin asked for this blessing? Love blessing no yes, I guess," always Sam made Reva bow.

"Hey, I'm kidding." Sam raises Reva's bowed head so he can see Reva's face. The increasingly thin face of being unable to eat regularly made Reva look pale.

"Yes. I must have given you my blessing. Hopefully with this you can become a stronger, stronger and mature person. With this you can also take his silver. That, according to the words of the parents, there is no harm."

Sam patted Reva's shoulder a few times. "After this, I hope you're steadfast in the face of outsiders. Not to be avoided, but to be faced. For a long time, surely they will subside by themselves."

Reva nodded then wiped the corner of her eyes that became a stopover while the tirta was clear there.

There was a sigh of relief with a slightly brighter face as Reva looked at Sam.

"Thank you, Mom. Thanks to you I can still be⁶adui as a Smaba student." Reva just found out about this. Things that Sam tried to get the right Reva to complete compulsory education to finish high school. Things that make his days cloudy and dark.

"Yes are the same."

"False, Mas. Thankfully there are you. I'm really lucky to have an older cousin who tastes sodara. I am no longer the first son of my father. Because it turns out that you have a son Mbarep even though it's not from his blood."

"What are you talking about" said Sam, shuffling the tip of Reva's head. "You forget, we were born to the same grandmother and grandfather as well" she continued, making Reva smile with relief.

"Who wants to be a bride, don't cry. Inget dedek in the stomach, people say that his mother is sad her son is also sad loh,"

"Sok tau," sneered Reva while grumpily snarling.

"Said, too." Sam doesn't accept being underestimated. Especially the underestimated of small children. Yep. To him, Reva is still his little sister. Although the girl will marry earlier than her who is not yet clear.

Reva stood looking at Sam while sneering. "Well, Mom!" Reva closed her mouth at a glance, "uh, wrong. Should have, find the chick! Compassion, clarity of relationship, all that is brought to pak pengulu,"

This time Sam was made to kiss and grunt slowly. "Still struggling too. This is not in them either. Still setting the strategy."

"Good luck, deh , Mas. Prayer and action in kencegin. Don't get picked up just because you lose nimble, yeah." This time Reva really cheered Sam sincerely from the heart.

A little story from Revi, has made him conclude the love story of Sam who is still not reassembled. Reva walks out of the room leaving Sam who is back alone staring at the teak door. Where Reva disappeared earlier.

O time, try to move faster. Find me with him immediately. My heart was also scared. Afraid of possibilities that will make me even more sorry.–Sam.
