'Brother, I'm going home from college to Tania's. Brother will pick me up there'

Ningsih sends the message to Juna, then rushes out of the classroom to the gate to look for a taxi. Wita said goodbye to Ningsih for permission to go home first, because her grandmother was in the village sick. Ningsih was tired of spending her time alone after this, so it was better that she visit Tania alone.

Tania came back to her house two weeks ago. The woman's gestational age has also entered the ninth month, so just wait for the birth time alone.

After the Taxi order came, Ningsih immediately mentioned the destination address, then the Taxi drove through the streets.

Ningsih knocked on the door made of teak wood several times. He smiled at the house. Lots of memories here. Her childhood memories of playing with Tania, as well as her memories of her wedding. Yes, this is the house where he and Juna got married first. "Assalaamu'alaikum Aunt!" Apply when the door opens.

"Eh, Sisi? Wa'alaikumsalaam says. Who is it to, baby?" Ask Adelia-Mama Tania.

"Self aunt!" Said Ningsih while kissing the hand of the mother's sister.

"Where's juna?"

"Still in aunt's office. It's not lunchtime yet!" The answer.

"Yes, come in, baby!"

Ningsih followed in the footsteps of the bayah woman. "Where is Tania, Tan?" Ask Ningsih.

"In his room. You go upstairs!" Ningsih nodded, then climbed up the stairs to Tania's room. The room that used to be her bridal room and Juna's.

He knocked slowly on Tania's slightly open door. Tania who was sitting on her bed turned her head, and smiled happily at the arrival of her cousin.

"Side? Who are you here with?" Tania asked as she went down the bed.

"Self Brother!" The answer. The two then sat on the sofa that was right in front of Tania's bed.

"What else is it?" Ask Ningsih.

"Nothing anyway! Tired of being alone at home" Tania said, showing her beak face.

"Ehmmm, how about we go for a walk!" Ningsih. "I mean to places near here aja, kasian also cutek baby in the distance" he continued while glancing at Tania's enlarged stomach.

Tania nodded happily. Eventually he was able to dispel his boredom and spend time with Ningsih again.

"I'll let you go to auntie, brother get ready! Sisi waited below" he said, then exited Tania's room. He moves down the stairs, looking for Adelia.

"Eh, Sisi! Here baby! Temani Aunty watch" he said as he patted the sofa where he was sitting, hinting Ningsih to sit next to him.

"I want Aunt's permission, take Tania's sister for a walk. Kasian, I'm tired of staying at home!" Ningsih.

Adelia seemed to think for a moment "where are you going?" Ask.

"Yes..near here anyway, Tan! To the Park perhaps, or to the character of the Book, wherever it is, the closest place here. It's important that Tania doesn't get bored anymore!"

Adelia smiled, seeing Ningsih's affection for Tania. To be honest, he never thought Tania had unconsciously wanted to seize what Ningsih should have. She stroked her niece's hair, Adelia was really proud because Ningsih airily accepted her fate and forgave Tania easily. He even asked his son to come back to this house. Adelia hoped that after this there would be no more cries of sadness for her nephew. He hoped that Ningsih was always happy, because Adelia knew, Ningsih had previously lived a heavy destiny.

"Aunty, how come auntie is daydreaming?" Tanya Ningsih was confused.

Adelia flinched, but a moment later, she carried Ningsih into her arms.

"Auntie why?" Ask Ningsih again.

"It's okay! Aunty is just a kangen want to hug you like before" he said sobbing, making Ningsih more confused.

............................................................

"Where are we going, brother?" Ningsih asked Tania for her opinion.

"Emm.how about going to a restaurant near here. Like not far from here there is a restaurant that just opened, we try the food there yuk!" Ningsih nodded in agreement. He ordered a taxi for her and Tania, because it was impossible for them to walk.

Both of them went down the taxi, then stepped enthusiastically into the restaurant.

Ningsih complied with Tania's request to sit in a chair by the window. The view of the highway is seen directly from the transparent window glass.

"What do you want to order?" A servant approached them, and asked in a friendly manner.

both mentioned their respective orders. The waiter listened carefully while taking notes.

"Old time well, we don't spend time with gini" Tania said after the waiter passed.

"Sister knows, the kayak gini times" he continued.

"Side as well" Ningsih smiled, stroking Tania's hand meant to calm down. He knew, Tania must be reminded of their old times, because the cheerful face was suddenly seen cheering.

"Sorry brother's selfishness" Tania said. Ningsih shook her head again, and smiled hinting that everything was fine. "Udah! Lupain only!"

"Oh, hy Tania! Long time no see!" Greet a voice, making the cousin look up at the sweeper earlier. Tania instantly stiffened, in contrast to Ningsih who was staring at the person confused.

Oh yeah, I'd say. As the spread of coronavirus or convid19, let us pray for a moment. May we be kept away from such diseases. Aamiin ya Rabbal 'Alamiin.
