The Curse of Love
Part 7 Love Will Come By Itself
"Sir..why smile on your own?" Mother apparently noticed me who was typing wa while smiling.
"Ah nothing ma'am."
"Where was last night with Sofwan's son?"
"The field of independence, ma'am, the streets continue to be treated to meatballs."
Mom smiled at me. "Mom never saw you walk with a man, Nia," you always walk with your mother the hardest you walk with your friends.
"You've always numbered your mother's unit, son."
Hopefully Sofwan can be your priest. Because I can't live to be with you always.
Mother passed away leaving me, continuing her sewing activities. Something I could never do. For me it's something difficult. Moreover, sewing it with a manual sewing machine like mother's.
Once I tried, the result was like a tree blown by the wind. Right tilt left tilt.
Just as it makes ketupat, my three good friends all make it. Also mother. They tried to teach me how.Yang there they dizzy themselves because I can not-can.
What's more me, more dizzy. To the point of ugly they taught me, until my blurry eyesight watched, it still began with obscurity and ended with uncertainty. That's how my three friends nagged me.
Mom once told me. Making a ketup is like a test of patience. The more patient and the more you try hopefully to find the end point.
But to me it remains the same, my creation as if twisted twisted there is no meeting the end.
Sometimes I protest with my mother. Why not buy a finished ketupat only.
"Life is patient and Iklas nduk.ngga all the wishes we can get easily and instant."
Kok even became the life also lectured by my mother. What a relationship buy ketupat so with patience and cliches.
"You will understand the essence of Nia's mother's words."
"Maybe the instincts as a mother, she already had a feeling something would happen to my life later." I don't know. My brain didn't get there thinking about it.
"Assalamualaikum.. kompak actually said his greetings." My daydreams are gone for a moment.
"Waalaikumsalam.." uh trio kwek-kwek.
"Where are you going early in the morning? want concert?"
"Where is the morning?" Wati. It's past 10. "Don't the effect of not having a bath make your eyes blurry, and your memory a little less."
"Learnest loe ti.." morning gini already fussing.
"Who's making a storm?" we're here to take the beach.
"We just bring provisions from home to save."
"Hmmm..can also your idea, bored also in the holiday home gini."
"What time do we leave? keep us riding the angkotkah?"
"If you can leave now, the journey is quite far."
"Ntar you bonce with bang Sofwan, Tini with Tuti, I'm with my sister..gimana?"
"Kok bang Sofwan anyway.ngga can we-we ajakah?" I kind of mind.
"Lha...keep going up what? want by sikil.mau fly..masa want to ride angkot alone?"
"So, get into it far away Nia tablets.."
"It's the same bang Sofwan just to be more friendly."
"Who knows on the beach is still continuing the conversation that hasn't been run out last night." Wati blinked his eyes.
"What talk? I said, people last night were just walking free field keep eating meatballs keep coming home."
"No walking around the field while holding that hand?"
"Continue eating bribes in the moonlight!"
"Keep saying love and say, Nia....do you want to be my girlfriend??" Ouwh...
"Road with, bribes, declare love.norak y'all yes!"
"Indeed there is no work around the field free nights."
"Hadeuh.kumat errornya ni son.can be long nie all month if discussed with him."
"Can until later in the afternoon will not be discussed about the moon."
"Yes, the three of us go home to get ready."
"An hour we'll regroup here..ok???" Tuti gave the order.
"Every boss." said the three of us in unison.
"And you Nia, don't forget to tell bang Sofwan to come, ntar we walk again to his beach."
"And one more don't forget to take a shower so that the mind does not mind butek and eyes are not blurry, loss if opaque let alone the smell has not bathed, can-can run tuh pujaan heart."
"Campret loe Tin, "I cursed!
"Eh.But bener loe rarely shower yes Nia, do-don't if you go to work just bath duck doang banter also raup face."
"Well.ngajak berantem ya loe Wati, I'm not the sejorok that!"
"Yes.parah ya you Ti.ntar heard bang Sofwan sangkain really Nia lazy shower."
"Don't be a stove to soften Deh Wati" said Tini.
"Even if the reality is so, but for the sake of friends we must keep this secret tight lest anyone dung especially bang Sofwan, we are soulmate."
"Damn you all.."
But.."Did you just say Tin? lowbat's? What's the connection not to shower with hape and charger?"
"Basar.keong paddy field.." shouted Tini, very slow loadingnya, model gini child yes if the war era can first die shot by the Dutch, people on the run left he right himself."
"So I don't understand.so we talk about Nia rarely shower.continue about the chargeran hape continues this about war."
"Not now the era has been independent, yes, there was a Dutch roving in our village carrying a rifle?"
"Poll.mampus me," I patted my eel.
"Here home ready, can stress god level if this is how."
"Yes come..." Tuti pulls Tini and Wati's hand.
"Remember another hour we gather here, again remember not to be late, late to be left."
"Set up the discussion we haven't run Tin, just play away." It seems Wati is not satisfied.
"Especially what Wati needs to discuss.." we simultaneously shouted.
"You.follow or stay, if we stay, we've just left." Tini and Tuti leave Wati who is still confused.
"Did you have friends?" Vegetable lodeh.capek deh....
"Mas..want to come with us-we go to good luck?" I called.
"If we're coming, we're leaving in an hour."
"Must come, I don't want to ride the angkot myself and walk into the beach area...okay?"
I turned off the phone. "Get in care whether he can or not, just have to come along."
I also get ready to shower and put more food. I know it is impossible mas Sofwan bring stock, he only knows how to cook eggs with noodles.
"Bring more Nia, put it in two places for Sofwan."
"Suggeh ma'am.this is again Nia prepare, mother take it easy."
I sat there waiting for them and I began to think, is it possible that I am in love now? or did I like him from the beginning? but I'm always the one who brushes off all those flavors.
I have opened my heart and I hope that this choice of heart will not be wrong. Because I don't want to repeat all the mistakes I've made.
I also hope he is serious about me. Because at my age, not just want to date, but want to find a life companion in the joys and sorrows until death separates.
Although Sofwan is 4 years younger than me, hopefully this is not the obstacle.
...Seriate.......
