The Unexpected News


"Mamah .. just arrived?" asked Arifa after seeing Sinta who was surprised at her arrival at the boutique.


"Yes, Fa. You ... tumben here. Your papah knows?" Sinta asked back to Arifa. Her daughter seemed to think for a moment.


"Hmm, sure," replied Arifa while nodding her head.


"What are you riding here for?"


"Motor."


"Where's your bike, Fa?"


"That's the one on the black end, Mah."


Sinta looked in the direction that Arifa meant. His forehead crept, as if in disbelief.


"alone?" tanya Sinta tried to convince herself. Arifa answered him with a nod of her head.


"Can? how did Mom know you could drive a motorcycle? since when?" cecar Sinta made Arifa sigh.


"Long Mah story .. hmm, Rifa just wanted to invite Mamah to watch the movie. But ... Rifa looked inside a lot. Mama must be busy today," said Arifa while showing her gloomy face.


Sinta looked inside, sure enough today's customers quite a lot and definitely took all day. She was not feeling good for her daughter.


"Hmm, Rifa .. yes it turns out that there are also many Mamah customers inside. Sorry, watch it next time ... Mamah promise that again leisure, Mamah keep you keep us walking," persuaded Sinta while gently stroking Arifa's left arm.


"OK deh then, Rifa left first yes, Mah ... bye," said Arifa and Sinta nodded with a smile.


Actually Arifa didn't know where he was going after this. Suddenly he remembered to go to his aunt's house not far from Sinta's boutique.


...****************...


Arifa has now reached the yard of her father's sister's house. The conditions in the house looked lonely. Maybe the residents are still doing activities outside, Arifa thought so.


Geck, tok, tok. Arifa knocked on the door of the house. He was waiting for the door to open. Because long enough, Arifa waited at the end of the porch of the house.


"Some people .. "a woman in her 35s opened the door and looked for the whereabouts of the man she had heard knocking on the door.


While Arifa was still sitting at the end of the terrace while turning her back to the house and looking at the row of rambutan trees that began to thicken the fruit. The atmosphere around the yard was comfortable, the wind made him slowly become sleepy. Arifa closed both her eyes. Without realizing it, the woman who opened the door was behind him.


"Eh, Neng you ready?"


Arifa opened her eyes and looked back.


"Bi Lina, this is Arifa the son of Zechariah's father."


"Bujubuneng, aunt saw Arifa again. Udeh looks more mature ye now. Pangling Bibi's. Ayok oruh enter the dalem," said Lina while inviting Arifa.


"Yes, Bi." Arifa came down from the terrace and joined Lina in the house.


"Maap ye, Auntie just opened the door. Habisnye Aunty just ran around at this hour lightly. Bebes, nyuci, cook. How about Zaki go home from school."


"Oh that, Bi. Zaki's been in Kindergarten, right?"


"Iye .. sit, sit. Would you like to lie down in Diana's room? he's at the very most coming home in the middle of the day."


"It's okay here."


"Ye udeh deh, Bibi takein drink ye first if that."


"Yes, thank you."


"Arifa if you want to selonjoran not ape-ape selonjoran aje ye. Aunty stay behind first."


"Yes, Bi."


While Lina is in the kitchen, Arifa pulls out her phone. There is something he misses there of course, there is no other Korean artist who became his idol, Haechan.


When Arifa was cool to see live on Haechan's social media account. Suddenly the screams of the little boy rang out in his ears.


"Emery! Zaki's home."


Arifa looked over while laughing. The boy that Arifa last saw was a baby is now big and has a loud voice.


"Zaki, your mom's in the kitchen again. Samperin' there!" tell Arifa to Zaki. The little boy looked at it carefully.


"Seeh who? mom's guest?"


Arifa laughed again. "Teteh uwa Zakaria's son."


"Oh, uwa's son. Zaki thinks who."


"Yes there samperin his mother. Change clothes and keep drinking milk," Arifa's lead made Zaki furrow both eyebrows. His face immediately looked annoyed.


"Ih, Teteh! Zaki knows it! Zaki don't drink milk anymore!" zaki then went inside the house with shoes that he had not taken off since.


"Wow, really lash him," Arifa muttered as she shook her head and scratched her non-itchy head.


Zaki soon heard a cry from the kitchen. Arifa. Then Lina came out with a tray containing snacks. Not only that, Lina's legs while being held tightly by Zaki who was still crying.


"Oh my goodness, Zaki I'm sorry Teteh, yes" said Arifa as she approached Zaki.


"Biase he's Arifa, don't like it when you're fed up with milk." Lina laughed then. "The fire to juge school did not want to bekelin milk kayak them," he continued after putting food and drinks on the table, then sat with Arifa.


"Udeh ye don't cry anymore. Teteh Arifa did ask for Zaki's help," Lina's appeal so that Zaki stops crying.


The fat boy with a face and tears on his cheek then said, "Emak, Zaki laper."


"Iye, iye, I'm grabbing you first. Zaki wait here with Teteh Arifa ye .." proposed Lina and Zaki nodded in agreement. "Oh iye, Arifa udeh ate a ballom? if you pickle, eat oruh ye," continued Lina who asked Arifa.


"No, Bi. Thanks ... I ate it with Papah at home."


"Oh ye already, Auntie stay ye first."


"Yes, Bi."


...****************...


Time has shown at 12 noon. The sound of a motorbike stopping in the yard of Lina's house. Arifa who realized that, immediately she saved her phone into a dark brown slingbag.


"Diana!" call Arifa when Diana just took off her helmet.


"Teh Arifa!" diana exclaimed and got off the bike, then sat on the porch to take off her shoes. "What is the old day, Tea?" ask him to Arifa.


"From earlier."


"Oh, Teteh himself?"


"Yes." Yeah."


"Bang Farhan's horrors are getting married, Teh?" diana's question made Arifa surprised.


"Hey .. why do I as his sister do not know this news?" Arifa asked back in a voice that she deliberately tightened as if angry.


"Devil doesn't know?" Diana asked again.


"No, you know where, Di?"


"If the word of the mother of the papah Teteh, then Bang Farhan next month wants to go home to Indo."


"Gosh, papah can't really tell me. I have to call Farhan's brother!" Arifa was getting curious.


"We'll go to my room, Tea. But wait, I want to tell my mom first. He's afraid he's gonna start because I didn't show him the nose."


"Yes, yes, there. Teteh already jiggled with Farhan, same papah too."


Diana laughed as she passed from Arifa to approach Lina who was in the kitchen. Before long, Diana approached Arifa again.


"Corn, Tea!" take Diana and Arifa up from her seat and come into her cousin's room.


Arifa choked when she saw Diana's room, neatly arranged items, fragrant. It is very different from the condition of the room.


"This is your room that's in order, Di?" ask Arifa curiously.


"Yes, Tea. There will be a mother" Diana replied with confidence. Arifa instantly clucked and rolled lazily her eyeballs.


"Teh, I'll change my clothes first."


"Yes." Yeah."


Arifa laid herself on the bed and positioned her body on her stomach. He opened the phone screen and looked for Farhan's contacts there. Arifa began making calls, not long after Farhan answered.


"Hallo, who is this?"


"Can I talk to Farhan ?" ask Arifa who changed her voice like a customer service.


"I'm alone, who is this? how do I know my number?"


"Welcome you get the jackpot! hahaha."


Hearing Arifa's original voice, Farhan recognized her immediately.


"Gosh, it's cute sister ye, isn't it?"


"I'm not going back to the village for a long time. My sister misses me. Right, right, right."


"Aish! And Arifa is. What's the phone, brother? it's still working hours."


"Okay, to the point. Why didn't Farhan tell me that he wanted to get married?" asked the intimidating Arifa in her potent tone.


"Hehe, sorry. But didn't you tell me?"


"Not at all!" Arifa was getting upset.


"Okay, okay don't be mad, Nduk. Sorry, sister."


"I'm sorry, but there are conditions!"


"What?"


"Sister's coming home now, I'm on vacation. Sepui knows brother at home." Arifa sulks to Farhan.


"Hmm .. later sister see the schedule first yes. If it's only gonna be 5 days at most."


"It's okay, brother. Did you know about your mom getting divorced from papah?" asked Arifa with a sad look on her face.


Without realizing it, Diana was already beside him. Diana was surprised to hear that.


"Mrt ... "
