Eggplant and Tomato?

The day began to light up. However, Dirga's activity is actually increasing. As always, before doing any work she must have helped her mother first in the market. Whether you realize it or not, her sweetness and friendly demeanor have been very beneficial for the mother, as with so many of her mother-and-mom customers stopping by their stalls. As was the case this morning, there were already two prospective buyers who were choosing vegetables there.

"Tomato sekilo yes, Dek. Remember, pick a good one and hurry. Do not wrinkled skin too, because it is not good to see," said a mother who looks hebring. She was like a walking gold shop, as many jewels were paired on some parts of her body.

"Please choose your own, yes," replied Dirga while thrusting the container to the middle-aged woman.

"Duh, it seems that Adek who milihin much nicer, deh," teased the mothers with a flaming red lipstick while glancing mischievously to Dirga.

"So, so flirty, ma'am?" said the curly-haired mothers who are choosing eggplants, "Sir, this eggplant there is a more fast no?" asked the curly-haired mothers while showing the purple eggplant to Dirga.

"Ye ..situ is also no less flirty! I don't think I understand that it means that there's a fast eggplant!" Hebring mothers do not want to lose with the woman beside him, "if you want to date, noh! Find the eggplant of the ornamental fishmonger!" said the hebring mothers with a cynical look.

"Yes, ma'am, please just choose the one there, because the stock inside is up." Dirga tried to break up so that the two mothers who were arguing were immediately silent.

"Yes already! I'm not buying! Males here there's an obscure person!" The curly-haired mothers just went away with a cynical look towards the hebring mothers, to make Dirga pat her eel for losing one buyer.

Not wanting to talk much, Dirga also chose some medium-sized tomatoes, then weighed them. Just then, a man with a distended stomach came to the stall owned by the mother. The man is the owner of an ornamental fish shop that is still in the market area. He is known as Bang Asis. His real name is Asisudin. "Ga, you have no job today? I need your help, "he asked without further ado.

Dirga who was just putting the freshly weighed tomatoes into a crackle bag, immediately turned his head. "I'll go to the cafe later this afternoon, Bang. Later I permission first with Mom," said Dirga politely.

"Where is your mom going?" ask Asisudin. His eyes swept to the inside of the stall.

"Mother is going to the toilet, Bang," replied Dirga. He offered the bagged tomatoes to the mothers who did not also take their eyes off him.

Before leaving, the mother with a shaky and frenzied look seemed to smile. "Tomorrow I will shop here again. I'd like to buy an onion" he said, but it looks disgusting to Dirga.

"Why not now, Mom?" the twenty-five-year-old asked in astonishment.

"Ah, no need. I have a lot of free time every day, Dek. Understandably, I am a widow," he said with a grim laugh. Dirga only responded with a small forced smile. He immediately turned his attention to the mother who had just appeared after coming from the toilet.

"Where are you, Ceu Aas?" greet Asisudin. He who is the original man of Majalengka, always called Dirga's mother as ceu Aas. In fact, the real name of the widow of the two children was Astuti.

"Regular, Bang. There was an emergency call," Astuti replied, who was about the same age as Astrid. However, Astuti's appearance was of course much simpler and also mannered, by wearing an instant veil that covered his entire hair.

"Come, Bang. It's called dark olive," Astuti said, laughing softly. He was standing next to his son.

"Ah, Ceu Aas mah use any color is basically already geulis aka beautiful. So, there will be no doubt," said Asisudin again issued his appeal. He did not care even though there was Dirga who looked uncomfortable with the bald-headed man's attitude.

"okay, Bang. I'll go to the store, out of here," interrupted Dirga. The hope was that the man in the tee shirt would leave his mother's vegetable stall immediately.

"Don't be too late, yeah. You see, if it is noon like a lot of customers who come," Asisudin message. At a glance, his gaze was fixed on Dirga. However, shortly thereafter he turned his attention back to Astuti. "Hayu, Ceu Aas. Excuse me first" he said, turning around. However, he did not return for long. "Ceu Aas's. Ari Eceu's birthday is still the eighth of May, right?" a very strange-sounding question from the man who owned the ornamental fish shop.

"Yes, Bang. Since when the birthday can move the date," said Astuti while shaking his head slowly because he was inexhaustible.

"Oh, perhaps, Ceu," replied Asisudin, "later I send a gift of fish for crossbreeding. The color is great. Suitable for the beautiful Ceu Aas," he said while scratching his hose. After that, he really left there.

Dirga who had listened to his mother's chat with Asisudin, then released the apron and thrust it to Astuti. "Mother what the heck use not to know the birthday of all the same bang Asis?" his protest. He seems to be less like if the mother is close to the owner of the ornamental fish shop.

"Eh, it's not Mom's birthday, Ga. It's Mak Ijem's birthday" Astuti denied. He mentioned the name of one of the elderly women who lived near their home.

"The point is I don't like that Mom is too familiar with Asis bang. I know she was married to a divorce" said Dirga.

"You take it easy, Ga. After all, I still have good memories with your late father. Mother did not think at all to marry again," explained Astuti to calm the heart of his eldest son.

Dirga was just about to respond to the mother's words. However, he immediately paused when there were customers coming to their stalls.

Is a woman with a very different appearance, from most mothers who used to shop to the market especially to their vegetable stalls. The woman looked much neater and also cleaner. His appearance is not tacky, unlike the mothers of tomato buyers earlier.

"Excuse me. I want to ask you what the price of purple eggplant and cucumber is now, huh?" he asked with a straight look to Dirga.
