Shanum Smile
Chapter 6

"Sir, you will go to school with Eko! Rama same mother wants to get out of town for a few days. The Marcell will leave for Bandung tonight. Anton returned to Surabaya this morning, with Rama. Are you okay to be left alone? There is Eko Mbok Yem who accompanies," said Mr. Arsena to Shanum.

They were sitting around the table, waiting for breakfast to be served.

Shanum could only look at his uncle and foster father. The teenage girl did not know what to say. He could only obey his parents every time.

"Express, Rama. How long did Rama take with his mother?" shanum asked softly, wanting to feel like he was crying because he was left with a housekeeper.

"Three or four days, at most a week. If you need anything just say the same Eko or Mbok Yem. Here, your pocket money for a week. Don't be so wasteful!"

"Let's have breakfast! Talk later," said Ms. Lelly as she put rice and side dishes on the dinner table.

Ms. Lelly started filling the dishes for her husband and children. Marcell and Anton were also present.

The first son of Mr. Arsena was named Antonius Bambang Kusuma, while the second son was named Marcell Harry Kusuma. Anton attended one of the public universities in the city of Heroes. He majored in Management because he wanted to continue the family business.

Unlike his brother, Marcell chose to study theology at a college in Bandung. Marcell was quieter than his older brother.

Anton is more fussy and humorous, he also likes with activities that challenge and test adrenaline. Many women surround him. In fact, not infrequently the girls came to the house Mr. Arsena just wanted to see Anton.

Anton is currently working on a thesis, which makes him go home often. He had already completed all of his college points, so he went to campus if he was going to do thesis guidance only.

The younger brother, currently entering his second year of college in Bandung. Unlike his older brother, Marcell rarely went home. Mr. Arsena and his wife often visit him when the longs hit.

Marcell is very irritable to talk, except with his family. But since Shanum lived in the house, Marcell often joked. The three of them are very compact and compact. Not infrequently Marcell collaborated with Anton to judge Shanum.

"Mas Marcell's still tonight, isn't it? Means still have time to shuttle Shanum school," said Shanum as soon as they finished eating.

Marcell only replied with a nod of his head because he was currently drinking.

"Hurray!" shanum shouted while clapping so as to invite the head of the person who was still sitting around the dining table.

Ms. Lelly smiled at Shanum's natural child-like behavior. Then she looked at her husband with an increasingly wide smile.

"Keng the daughter of kados lare alit, Kangmas... So gemes want to pinch his cheeks!" said Miss Lelly while chuckling at the behavior of Shanum.

(This child is like a child, brother)

"How come you guys are looking at Shanum? Is Shanum wrong?" ask the teenage girl.

"No Shanum! We're not laughing at you. We are just happy to see you cheerful again like before" said Marcell showed a row of white teeth.

"Shanum doesn't believe it!" sahut Shanum.

"No trust in him, Mom! Hahaha.." said Marcell with a big laugh.

"Shanon... Shanum. You're too innocent for a 13-year-old girl" Anton said with a big smile.

They all laughed, laughing at Shanum who was too innocent. So that made Shanum's face reddened with embarrassment.

Moments later, they finally left the big joglo house. Mr. Arsena, his wife and Anton left in a car. This is because Anton left his big motorbike at the cost. So he hitchhiked to his father as well as a driver.

While Shanum school was escorted by Marcell to the front gate of the school. Many hysterical female students saw Marcell's face when he got out of the car. Marcell opened the door for the only girl in Arsena's house.

Shanum's presence at Arsena's house made Shanum a queen. Everyone loves Shanum sincerely. Ms. Lelly despite the many rules, all of it was done because of her affection. He just wants to have children who understand upload (tata krama).

"Shanon!" call on the Goddess as soon as Shanum enters the school grounds.

"Hi, Wi! Just arrived?" ask Shanum.

"Yes! Ehh, who was that with you?" ask the Goddess with great curiosity.

"My brother. Wh why? Fancied huh?" shanum answered his friend.

"Great handsome!" said Dewi while holding both cheeks.

"No crush on him! He wants to be Romo" said Shanum, smothering his mouth because of speechlessness.

"Well! Seriously? Don't dong, tell me to wait for me to finish High School! Say yes, I want to be his wife" said Dewi just like that, making Shanum bengong because surprised to hear the words of his friend.

Shanum directly attached the back of his hand to the forehead of the Goddess.

"Not hot. Where did you go when you got here?"

"meaning?" The goddess was confused by the words spoken by Shanum just now.

"Do you know what marriage is?" shanum asked seriously.

"You've never dated, have you?" Dewi answered Shanum's question with a question.

"What is a courtship? I only know that men and women marry when they grow up, and then have children" Shanum replied innocently.

"Fall in love ever?" ask the Goddess again.

"Is it falling in love?"

"Doorayr!" sarah's shout shocked Shanum and the Goddess who were arguing.

"Dor!" Shanum followed Sarah. Then hit Sarah's arm.

"Bikin' shocked!"

"It's so serious you guys, I noticed from earlier," elak Sarah grinned.

"Well, this is the expert love has come!" said Dewi.

"Love experts! Love experts! Oiy, don't talk about love. Discuss tasks that have not been done!" sarah walked to her desk, followed by Shanum and Dewi.

Their tables are close together, just front back. Shanum sat in front with the class leader, while Dewi and Sarah sat behind Shanum.

The next day Shanum Eko nebeng school, while returning home by public transport. That's for two days in a row. The fourth day of the departure of Mr. Arsena and his wife, Shanum ventured on a paddle bike to his school.

Shanum got on the bike because he saw many of his friends riding bicycles back and forth to school. He also wanted to feel the bike ride. Mbok Yem and Eko have repeatedly banned but are not ignored.

After school, Shanum and his friends wanted to cross the street. Unaccustomed to riding a bicycle, Shanum eventually lagged behind his friends. It just so happened that there was a motor running at high speed.

"Braa!"

Shanum who was about to cross the road was hit by a motorbike.
