Sometimes Friends are the Enemy

Sometimes Friends are the Enemy
The Part 29


At night, Siti's father comes home and she is shocked to see a stranger in her house. He only saw the back of the two of them as both of them were engrossed in watching TV.


With a doubtful step he approached the two and reprimanded, "Hey!"


As soon as the two turned around, he grew even more confused. In his mind there were many questions, "Like my daughter. But it doesn't seem to be. Why is her hair straight? But his face, my daughter's face Siti." He silently looked at the two. Until his youngest son hit his hand slowly and broke it, "Sir, why are you dumb?"


"He who's Kes?" Ask her youngest daughter.


"He's Siti's brother sir. Now she's beautiful like a goddess, sir?"


Still in disbelief, he asked the same question again, "Who is Kes?"


So Siti immediately moved closer to her father and introduced herself in earnest. With a focused gaze, and a clear pronunciation, he mentioned his full name and then showed his birthmark, the tompel, on his arm.


But as if still not satisfied, he showed a video recording of himself while in the salon. Seeing all that, his father was convinced and hugged him while saying with a haru and relief, "Beautiful father. You think you were kidnapped. I am so afraid of losing you. You are the relics of your mother, the inheritance of your father, the drip of your mother. You look like your mother. If you lose your father, then your mother's appearance will be reduced in this house. You'll be sad and you won't be able to sleep."


But Siti said nothing but to cry.


Then after the atmosphere of the novelty, his father invited the two to eat in one restaurant. His father promised to take them to eat.


Instantly the two boys jumped up cheerfully hearing him. And without lingering, they immediately ran to the front of the door while exclaiming, "Come, hurry sir!"


"Yes. Ja. Mr. matiin TV first. Your base. If invited to eat outside, immediately excited."


"That's because dad's cooking is a bit bland." Ledek his youngest daughter.


He shook his head as he walked towards them and closed the door.


The three of them stood by the road waiting for the taxi they ordered.


During the wait, his father asked again because his curiosity had not been satisfied.


"Sit, by the way why is your hair suddenly this straight?"


"Ah...


Long story sir. The point is it happened because of frogs." Replied annoyed.


"What's? A frog? How can?" Ask questions that are still confused and inexhaustible.


"Udah sir, I'm lazy he replied. I may have lost my appetite because of it."


"Yes, yeah. You will not ask again. I was afraid my son was angry. Look at his face, it's getting red and it's burning soon. Ih. father is afraid. I'm afraid of a charade." Meledek.


"Can start again. Ntar I don't eat, you know, let me lose."


"Eit...


Aye, yes. You'll be quiet." Though in his heart he felt strange with the words Siti.


Soon the taxi they were waiting for arrived, and they entered.


"Come sir. Take us to the best and best places to eat here." He said with spirit.


"Ready!" Reply to the driver.


Along the way his father occasionally looked at his daughter while thinking, "What does frog have to do with her hair? I still don't think it out. But yeah, that's it. The important thing is that he is happy. Because, if he's angry, danger." He reminisced about a past where his daughter was furious while being upset. The wooden fence behind his house, he karate until everything falls down. So that his father had to work hard to fix it again.


While recalling that, he creeped out that provoked the attention of his two daughters, "Father why?" Asked both.


"Ah. there is no. You're just cold. It seems like I've got a fever." The answer is wrong.


"Masa? Try me to touch her forehead." Said the youngest.


He touched his father's forehead but there wasn't a bit of heat that he felt.


"Ga hot! You lied dad? Looking for reasons not to eat well? So that your money does not run out, huh? Aye right?" His youngest son began to intimidate him and gave him a deathly look. Until his father became shriveled and increasingly misbehaved. "No really. Yes already. You won't talk anymore. I'll sleep so you don't suspect you continue."


Then his eldest son said firmly, "Don't! We'll be there soon sir. If you want to sleep, at home."


He was silent and did not say anything about his son anymore. His two daughters were very temperament like his late mother.


***********


Finally they reached the restaurant they were heading to and they quickly entered and took their place. Then one of the employees came to give them a menu list. Not waiting for a long time, the two daughters immediately ordered some good food but did not look at the price.


When he saw his eldest son pointing some menus at the maid, he quickly intercepted her. His eyes were shocked to see the price. "Don't that Siti. Your money will not be enough. Just pick this one. It's no less delicious either. Yeah." Persuade it with clear eyes.


But Siti refused it, "Father intention is not really us eating? This is the first time you've brought us to a restaurant in ten years. My father had no preparation. You know how to eat on the side of the road."


His youngest son also supported his older brother. "The father was really stingy. Same son calculation. Every day I work day and night. The time to pay for this food alone can't?"


It made the father embarrassed and his face flushed in front of the servant. Not wanting to be more embarrassed, he chose to remain silent and watched his two daughters choose food as they pleased without control.


"Wine! My salary's been two months, it's gone overnight because of this bad boy." The grunt in the heart.


But his unhappy face caught the eye of his youngest son's supervisor. Then he nagged after the waiter left, he said,


"Why are you not happy? Do you feel affectionate about the money? Da? Last afternoon when my brother had not returned home, I panicked half to death. But after brother came home and we had a good meal, I object."


"Not really, son. You don't mind at all. You are father's jewels. Eat as much. I also made my pockets thick. So don't worry. Huh uh?" Reply while throwing a smile. His eyes also smiled because he later regretted it.


Finally after waiting for a while, their order arrived and they greeted cheerfully. They eat and are happy.
