The Delayed Soul
Chapter 37

When I woke up from sleep this body feels very fresh, because this is the weekend so I took the initiative to take grandma around in the mall.

My main activity before separating myself from the bed was to check my phone, after yesterday I was all-out Adam did not contact to just say congratulations or anything like people in a relationship in general.

"There's no pecunya at all, romantic too! what's expected of him is Tiar" I slammed my phone on the bed.

Geck! Geck! Geck! The sound of knocking on my bedroom door.

"Yeah" I answered from the room.

"Mbak Lastri bangunin non granny" said Mbak Lastri from outside the room.

Because it turns out that the door to my grandmother's room was knocked, her voice was indeed felt on my door because our room was next to each other.

"Grandmother is bathed yes Ma'am Abis is wearing a beautiful shirt, because I want to take the road" said I from the door leaf to Mbak Lastri who was still leaning in front of the door of the grandmother's room.

"It hasn't been opened yet, is it the same Bik Inah?" My toot.

"Not yet non, maybe Bik Inah is still in the bathroom" he replied.

Oh, it happens that grandma's night always asks for Bik Inah's company if not with me.

I went back into my room and took a shower, today I want to be full time with my grandmother outside.

°°°°°°

"Grandmother is ready?" I asked Ms. Lastri who brought in the dirty dishes used to eat grandma.

"Have been non, he was in the front garden with Mr. Muh" he replied.

"Judah I'm ahead first" My pamphit.

"Non not having breakfast? it has been cooked special fried rice loh the same Bik Inah" he said.

"If so ask Bik Inah to wrap it, Ma'am, I wait in front" My orders.

"Every non" Pastri said before leaving.

Moments later Bik Inah came out with my bag of supplies.

"This is non fried rice" said Bik Inah while thrusting it at me.

"Thank you Bik, yuk Mbak Lastri help push grandma and we just go straight away, Bik Inah keep the house, just a moment again mama go home really" My thoughts are with ART who has worked with us for a long time.

My first goal was to go to the mall looking for kitchen needs, please grandma, and just spend ART working at home.

°°°°°°

After arriving at the mall at a glance I saw someone whose posture was not unfamiliar to me, I pushed my grandmother's wheelchair faster in order to catch up to that person.

When I was closer to him I tried to observe more observant again.

"Grandmother Sanah? is that right, grandma is here?" Ask someone I suspect is someone I know.

"Loh yes Sanah" Imbuh grandma.

"Tiar.....oh is there a Fatimah to? you're here too" asked Grandma Sanah.

"Yes I was invited by my grandson, usually let his grandmother fresh he said, you come alone?" Answer grandma.

"No! that's my grandson in line for drinks" he replied.

"I think to myself, you still look healthy huh?" Grandma again.

"Yes this way, I still often go in and out of Fatimah hospital" answered Sanah's grandmother.

"Ah cooking? looks like you are very young and healthy" Granny.

They were joking with laughter together without involving me in the chatter, I saw a happy scene when two young friends who had not seen each other for a long time.

"Yoga, this knows the friend of the oma from Junior High, her name is Fatimah's grandmother" said Sanah's grandmother to the newly arrived man.

"Hello oma" greeting her with a granny hand.

"Hai Tiar" Her greeting was brief.

"Do you know my grandson?" Ask grandma.

"Yes, at that time when there was a sport with the mothers of your grandchildren complex who nganter me to the house" Sana's grandmother explained to the grandmother.

"What a coincidence then we go for a walk together, how?" Take grandma.

"May, but how are our grandchildren? do they want to?" Ask grandma Sanah.

"Yes have to want dong" replied the grandmother sure.

"Yaudah yes we go together, but Tiar wants to shop for kitchen needs first while grandma same Maak Lastri first yes later change" My permission to grandma.

"Dear, where will you meet?" Ask grandma.

"Let me call you Lastri"

I separated from them to buy depleted kitchen necessities such as eggs, kitchen spices and vegetables.

I spend Bik Inah, Pak Man, and Pak Muh all the needs they need every day, such as soap, shampoo, odor, toothbrush, and others.

#POV Mbak Lastri

"Waduh den my phone want to run out of battery, afraid non Tiar contact but can not, is there a power bank?" I asked Den Yoga.

"Not bring mbak, usually always available in the car but yesterday abis in the wash so it is taken out all" he replied.

"What is the case is non Tiar, it will be confusion of our nyari" said I worried.

"Yes here let me record the number later contact through my phone" he said.

"Seriously what is this mas?" I asked to convince again.

"Seriously, note the number" Den Yoga handed me his phone.

"Den Yoga only, I can't use good hp" Reply.

I dictated the phone number Non Tiar, not finished still less than four more numbers my phone is dead, but fortunately I remember the four digits of the number behind it.

"It's den, sure it's the right number" I said after feeling sure.

Den Yoga tried calling non Tiar but said he still called, and decided to call again later.

°°°°°°°°

#POV Tiar

I went back in line at the cashier, the thing I didn't like the most was waiting and queuing for too long.

While waiting for me to play my phone, when opening one of the online applications always can not open, and it turns out that after I checked the cellular data, I forgot that I had not turned it back on after turning it off while filling up the gas in SPBU.

Immediately I turn the data back on, at the top of the screen there is a notification of missed calls from WhatsApp, when I open it turns out that a new number that has not been named and the profile photo is also not there.

"Whose number is it? did Adam change the number? but if you have to change the American number, but this is still an Indonesian number?" My muttering.

I didn't call him back but just sent him a message.

[Sorry to whom? the call was not lifted or maybe when my cellular data died]

Send....

The message was sent but not read by the recipient, I put my phone back in the bag because it was my shopping turn in total by the cashier.

I called Mbak Lastri after I finished paying my total purchase, many times I tried to call but the phone was not active.

"Am I going to the car? maybe they wait there" I said then walked to the parking lot, coincidentally my car was parked outside by Mr. Muh.

"Sir! please help this get in the car" My orders to Mr. Muh who is smoking his cigarette under the tree.

"Okay ready non" he replied alacriously.

"No one's been to the car yet, sir?" My toot.

"Not yet non, he is not Tiar together earlier?" Ask.

"Yes together but apart fitting me shopping needs kitchen" answered me.

"Wow, try Lastri non's phone" he suggested.

"Yes this was the phone but not active, yaudah this entered yes sir do not forget the car is locked" my order again.

Drt! Drt! Drt! my phone in the bag vibrated the sign that the phone was coming in, I immediately pulled it out of the bag and saw who was calling.

"This is the number, who is it?" I was still curious but did not lift it until the ringing stopped.

A few seconds later my phone rang again, this time I picked it up fearing there was important news the caller would deliver for contacting repeatedly.

"Hello, sorry about who?" Ask me after picking up the phone.

"Hello, is this really Tiar?" Answer from across the phone.

"Yes! it's with me" I replied a little hesitantly.

"I Yoga, granddaughter of Sanah's grandmother would like to tell if we wait in Cafeteria yes, sorry I called because Mbak Lastri's phone died because of battery drain" he explained.

"Yes, thank you for telling me" I replied.

"Yes, both Ma'am, come here soon yes we wait" he said again before turning off the phone

I rushed towards the cafeteria he was referring to earlier.

There's probably about five minutes I just got there.

We ate together, not forgetting I called Mr. Muh to join together.

Finish eating we continue home because grandma has complained tired of going around, understand lately grandma often not feeling well.

Finally I obeyed my grandmother to come home, we separated from Sanah's grandmother because she was going to go buy a television.

I separated the kitchen items with my ART items to make it easier to give them.

When I finished I went straight up to the upstairs room to take a shower and rest.
