The ferry boat to Tanjungpinang-Tanjungbalai Karimun was finally leaning on the dock of Jangkar Port. My heart seamkin pounded uncontrollably as it welcomed my mother's arrival.
I'll take mom's luggage. By otak-otak.
''Lho...which mom's clothes bag?'' ask me to eliminate the feeling of me who was again troubled.
''Why is your face pale?'' ask me, and I'm more nervous.
''Yes yes....Ma'am.''
''Yes..why?'' ask again.
''Not having breakfast yet, ma'am.'' I replied. In fact, I just had breakfast with Boss Robert.
We walked three, towards my car. While Boss Robert headed for his own car. But, before parting ways, Boss Robert undoes his intention of getting in his own car, and he asks for my car keys. He said he wanted to take my mom to breakfast first.
''This is the key, we have breakfast where we go, '' said Boss Robert and I resigned to hand over the car keys. Boss Robert's driving.
''Take me here again, yes.'' Boss Robert asked.
''OK.'' sahutku.
Along the way, the three of us were quieter. Mom, I saw him close his eyes, on the way.
Boss Robert took me and mom to Mr. Dollah's shop. Our shop at lunch.
The waiter approached our table and handed us a menu book.
I asked for pecel lele. We also ended up following the order pecel lele. As long as the food order had not arrived, we were still silent. I see you're still brain-warming on her phone.
Then, before long, the order for the catfish pecel food had arrived.
''Come on....Ma'am. Boss Robert invited a meal to my mother.
''Yes, sir, '' answered my mother and I went along to eat it.
Fifteen minutes later, the food that was in front of each of them, was already exhausted.
''Enak, yes, '' said mother.
''Yes.this is the best restaurant in Tanjungbalai Karimun, '' explained Boss Robert.
Mother, I see only the mangosteen.
After we finished eating, we left the restaurant. Along the way in the car, we were silent again.
Boss Robert, I occasionally talk to my mother. I was more silent because I was sitting in the back. In fact, I closed my eyes because I woke up too early. So, I'm sleepy heavy. Good thing today is Saturday. Not in the office.
''How did Bu, the waves were strong, not on the ship from Tanjungpinang-Tanjungbalai?''
''Lumayan was calm, sir.''
''Alhamdulillah.'' said Boss Robert.
''Mi. later we take Mama to Astaka Alun-Alun. It's a lot of night!'' boss Robert said.
I immediately gasped when I heard her calling me Mi, in front of my mother.
''Oh. Mad this Boss Robert. I don't think look at the situation. Where to call me Mi, in front of my mother.'' my mum immediately panicked by myself.
But I kept quiet and pretended to close my eyes.
Boss Robert looked back.
''Oh...bed anyway!''
''Oh my goodness, finish eating, sleep.'' said the mother who chimed in, and I still pretended to close my eyes.
''Duh. What is mom's assessment. Boss Robert called me Mi. Oalah.....'' my murmurs were still panicking by themselves, even though my eyes were pretending to be closed.
Before long, I felt the car stop, and I was still pretending to be asleep. Waiting for one of them, woke me up.
''Mi..wake up.'' said Boss Robert.
In my heart, it felt like I wanted to punch him, for calling me Mami.
''Damn it today. My mother must have thought the macem about this, I said still in my heart.
Mother came down and woke me up.
''It's very sad, heavy sleepy like.'' mother chirped.
''Yes.ibu.''
When I saw that mom was away from me and from Boss Robert, I started to nag.
''What do you mean. Call me ma....mi...ma...ma....mi.... in front of my mother? You are crazy. You don't take care of my mother's feelings!'' I said half-banging but slow.
''Sorry, Mi, I didn't mean it. You see, habit is indeed his calling, said Boss Robert trying to give an excuse to me.
''You have hurt my mother's feelings. Must be my mother thinking of the macems, with you calling me with that call. Rice has become porridge. Disappointed I am with you, I said as I left him.
''Send me to the port again. What is my car in port?'' doors, confused.
''Bodo. Go to the port by yourself, or you can take a gojek!'' I said cynically to Boss Robert.
''All right then.'' he replied and he tried to say goodbye to my mother, then left my house.
''Sorry, Mom. I'm leaving, please rest. Later in the afternoon, I am here again said Boss Robert courteously.
My mother also invited him.
''Thank you, sir.'' said the mother, as Boss Robert was about to leave in front of him.
''Yes.bu...sama-sama.'' Boss Robert passed by from before the two of us.
I feel guilty for treating him like that. But I was disappointed with him today.
''O Allah, my mother must have thought of me. How's this?'' muttered.
''Mom would you like to rest in my room, or in Fira's room?'' tanyaku and mom directly fall in front of the tv.
''Lho in front of the tv?''
''Yes fine.mau to the room is still hot.'' said the mother.
Spontaneously I directly turned on the middle room fan. Understandably, Ac room, there is only one place, room Fira only. Because, Fira was always whining her room asking to be installed by AC.
''Mom, in Fira's room, it's cold. There's the AC.'' I said to invite mom to move places.
At last she got up, headed to Fira's room.
''Where's Fira?''
''He used to play with the next-door neighbor's kid.'' I explained.
''Ohhhh yes already. Mom is heavy. Rebahan a minute.''
''Yes.please...mother,'' I replied.
''Congratulations...'' I said in my heart.
''At least, if mother recedes for the next few hours, I am safe. Mom didn't ask macem-macem with me.''
I left mom in Fira's room, and I went into my own room.
Before long, Fira came home.
''Mi..lapar.'' said Fira who had suddenly appeared before me. Must be from the next door neighbor's house.
''Where did Mami's son come from, hungry?''
''Main next to Mi'' replied as he leaned over to me, and he was spoiled in my lap.
''Darling...know who our guests are today?'' katau stroked her short hair.
Fira shook her head.
''Come. I said again trying to test him.
''There's that grandma in Fira's room.'' call me and she immediately went, heading to her room.
''Grandma, ''' cried Fira, and she woke up.
''Here...grandson of the most beautiful grandmother is cute.''
Fira immediately rushed to his grandmother, spoiled.
''Where did Fira go, when grandma came?'' ask mom.
''Main to Nek's next-door neighbor.''
''Ohhh. We lie down, grandma is still sleepy. Later in the afternoon, we go for a walk, the same good father.'' said my mother and Fira look excited when he heard to be invited to walk later in the afternoon.(connect)
