I'm about to meet ya

" What time is .kok it's so bright.." Arin looked towards the window. It looks bright outside. " Hah.. kayangan..gue has not yet prayed dawn. What time is it." He saw the clock on the wall of his room. " A half six. Astaghfirullah.my bad luck ..sholat dawn I miss.." Arin jumped out of bed.

" Arin why run away si .." Mother who was cooking in the kitchen was shocked by Arin's behavior.

" Mother why did not wake up Arin si.kan become the day of dawn prayers ...." Arin walked towards the bathroom taking ablution water

" Mother think you have prayed, continue to sleep again.ok can bad luck, Semalem sleep what time it is."

" Don't know bund.I pray first yes bund.then I will help cook.." Arin immediately headed to the room to carry out the obligation of dawn prayers.

" Why Arin bund .Here Nia auxiliary..." Nia also just came out of the room she just finished teaching.

" Arin woke up late and then you didn't wake him up to pray."

" I forgot .. What time does Arin sleep."

"Ga inget sleep at what time kak.bunda cook what si ..baunya very fragrant, smelled from the room." Arin who has finished praying join nimbrung in the kitchen .

" Just vegetable lodeh, fried puffer fish same tempeh fry."

" Here is Arin who fried his fish ..it has been seasoned bund ..." Arin immediately prepares the frying pan, pouring oil for frying

" Yes, I washed my clothes .let all the work be done in the morning. I'll be ready to go out, Bund..." Nia chose to do her other work so that all could be neat together.

" Where are you going, sister.mau dating ya.."

" What are you Rin.ah ah brother wants to be holy. Keep talking.just don't get neat. .." Nia went to the bathroom .

" Mother ..already mateng not yet,Rama hungry.."

" Dhh ..dateng-dateng asked for food.indeed finished sweeping it. All the courtyards up to the back garden have been swept away."

" Already dong kak..just look at yourself sono. . Everything is clean . Ehh speaking of the fire, there will be a motor stop on the road ahead sono, continue to worry about our home. " Rama had just finished sweeping the courtyard of their house. Fortunately, the page was not so broad .

" Who's Ram, what guy's a chick ."

Of course Arin was curious, why should he observe the house of all . Will there be any more problems . No one likes playing with children at home.

" Don't know also Kak, just for a while doang kok.Suah only aja, later if we all kinds of stay report RT sir."

" Yes Ram .. soon just wait for the fish again fried.sana shower first, breakfast will wait all.What time is Ram. Dad where the guy from earlier ain't looking."

" Seven and thirty feet. It was already noon. I took a shower, sultry, dry. Just eat. I saw my dad in the back of the house . Usual chicken."

Rama went to shower. Arin finishes frying the fish. When finished all Arin back into the room. It was a very sad Sunday for Arin. Waiting for the afternoon feels long. Today there was actually an appointment with his friends to play in the river but he was lazy to go . Maybe it's okay if this time he doesn't go to the river. His mood was no longer in pain. He should feel relieved because today his debt will be paid off . But there was another feeling that troubled his heart.What would happen later if it had met. Will it be that easy to meet then hand over the money and the business will be done. Not to mention thinking about Fian whose attitude lately was a little strange.

" Sister Arin again what. Called the mother for breakfast .." Rama went into Arin's room. " Sister has not had breakfast, right now it's ten o'clock.eat first. Go to the river . Rama temenin."

" Yes Ram.you have not eaten. Sister males eat it. But surely you'll be angry if you don't eat."

" Udah sono eat first. continue us fishing, have long time we do not play into the river."

Arin's out to the dining table .He has no appetite but has to eat, in his stomach. He ate a little.

" Ram ..kakak is done eating. Let's go down to the river.Follow them . Just sec. The important thing is to be present. Later ranting they rich mak-mak less ration.."

"Yes kak ..gue take the fishing line first behind ."

They both went to the river as well. Arin just wants to fill the time that is staying soon with busyness.From the thoughts directly with Bara.

🌸🌸🌸

I also woke up bad luck. He couldn't sleep last night. After Arkan came out of the room, he felt even more agitated. Already changing positions, still not able to sleep.

Tok.tok .

" Bara.bara.kok haven't woken up baby. It's ten o'clock. Let's get up.breakfast first." Mother knocked on Bara's room door. Even Arkan hasn't woken up yet.

" Yes ma ..bentar . Just had a shower down.."

No more mother voices. Entering the bathroom. Cleaned his whole body with cold water. Her body feels fresh. Bara went out of the room to coincide with Arkan also exited the room.

" Just woke up too bang. bad luck too."

" Ga si.has woken up earlier morning prayer.but the fall again even overslept. Ehh how-ever, which is semalem .So it's a story..." Arkan was still curious.

" No how-to.eat yuk laper.." Bara walks ahead of Arkan. Deliberately avoided. Confused what to tell his brother. Arkan followed Bara's steps towards the dining table.

" Mama cook what .wuiih madep ni.ayam grilled and sambel.thank you mama." Bara directly took the plate and filled it with rice and side dishes. He started eating first without waiting for Arkan. There are only two of them who have not eaten.

" Widihh directly hap aja ..ga nungguin cave . if you have met roasted chicken and sambal forget everything. " Arkan followed by taking rice and side dishes.They both ate voraciously .

" Duh.mama's sultry son. It was rich enough to eat rice a week. Didn't eat last night. Semalem sleeps at what time to wake up everyone."

" Semalem stopped by to eat meatballs that opened the tent in front of the hospital..Mang Ikin . Inget ga Ma .who used to use a wagon around the complex now has a tent stall...." Say it with your mouth still full of food. " Sleep what time we bang. nahlah ma ...."

" Of course Ma.maunya when ..asal Bara there is free time must be Bara Anterin there."

" Oh yeah .gua remember the old wagon nudged my motorcycle yes ..When and when I also want meatballs, kangen the same taste of meatballs ..a long time no met mang Ikin." Previously, Arkan who came home from playing the night his motorcycle was not deliberately nudged the meatball cart because the road was slippery after the rain.

" Yes, when will we go there together . papa also wants to.." Suddenly papa followed their conversation." Papa was left alone behind Ma.."

" I'm sorry Pa.ini was preparing food for the two of them.Build a really compact afternoon . Begadang mulu...Where to eat like a week ga met rice.so kasian ninggalinnya afraid of the plate to be eaten.hahaha..." Mama caught a glimpse of papa newly arrived .Mama forgot that papa is still on the back porch. Bara and Arkan just chuckled no matter continuing to eat.

" Tumben you two wake up in the afternoon. Why did aja semalem after papa sama mama.."

" Sleep pa.." replied Arkan and Bara together.

" When you sleep, why do you wake up bad. Fajr prayers ga tu..?" Even though they have grown up, papa never forgets to remind the worship problem. Because of his legal obligation.

" Akan si ga Pa.tadi has woken up morning prayers, plans to fall short and fall asleep again." saut Arkan.

" I also do not Pa.sama ..tadi wake up praying first just slept again. actually do not want to sleep again want to jog even overslept again." Bara did not want to lose to Arkan, answering his papa's questions with vigor.

" Hahaha..you are still like children, no one wants to give up..." Mama laughed happily to see her two children scrambling to answer her papa's questions. Nothing has changed, just as it was in childhood.

" I'm full ma.enak very mama's cooking. anyway the best deh ..ga no one nyamain taste..." Bara showed two thumbs of his hands praising the cooking of mama. Everywhere mama's cooking must be the most delicious, because it is cooked with the spice of love and affection.

" It's true .so at home ..iya kan Pa.."

Arkan chimed in. He said while teasing his papa.

" You could have. thank you ..mama dear to you.muuuaaacchhh..." Mama smiled happily.

" I went to my room first Ma ..Pa.." Bara ahead of waking up.

" I am also .. already very full, want nerusin to sleep.hehehe.." Arkan woke up too.

Everyone finally left the table. Entering the room. He saw the clock on his wrist. It's twelve o'clock . Soon he thought. His mind went back to Arin. The sound of adzan dhuhur reverberating. Bara entered the bathroom, took ablution water and directly performed prayers. He fervently prayed that his plan would go as he wished. After the prayer, he felt a little calm. All he gave to God. " The spirit. the spirit." he said, clenching his right hand." Sleep for a while ..still three hours.." he said again. Then he took his phone, he turned on the alarm at twenty-thirty, because the plan was that he would leave at three, so he could come first and see Arin coming. He opened the window of the room, a breeze came into the room. Bara threw himself in his bed. He fell asleep for a long time too, because last night he was sleep deprived and was cuddled by the breeze that entered through the window of his room. So delicious.

🌸🌸🌸

Arin and Rama came home from the river at one. That was enough to get ten fish . Maybe because of Sunday , the river is very crowded people fishing. The river is still clear water and shaded its edges because many shady trees . So comfortable to just enjoy the flow of the river.In addition to the fish is also a lot.People so linger in the river.

" Rama.. let's go home in the afternoon, adzan dhuhur has been reverberating. There are also many fish that are found. Some males really Andra and his gang lied, he said already here turned out to be fishing in the river under sono."

" Yes brother.ayo come home, bring the fish. Good for tomorrow's side dish. "

Arin and Rama came home happy, of course, because they got a lot of fish. Arriving at Rama's house immediately took a bath.

" My brother used to take a bath yeah.it smells fishy this.ga really good."

" Yes sono ..don't forget the fish are cleaned..."

" Yes, brother, please bring a towel yes brother . Rama's hand stinks fishy ."

" Yes ..Ram . I'll be anterin to the bathroom ..but I wash my hands first." Arin washes his hands. Then go to the back of the house to the clothesline to pick up his towel and Rama's towel. She saw her mother again sitting alone under the guava tree.

" Mother again said .. sit alone here.. "

" Sit down again Rin .ngadem .It's nice sitting here in the wind.. Here sit back and mommy wants to ask a little."

" Bentar bun Arin gave Rama a towel first.He took a bath." Arin rushed into the house and gave the towel that Rama asked for.

" What is bund.ada that disturbs the mind of the mother kah.Atau mother need something. Say the same Arin here.hopefully can help mother."

Arin sat next to my mother. He put his head on your shoulder.

" Gini you know Rin..Remember what happened three years ago. You must have remembered. Dad's in the hospital. It costs up how much ..you never tell the same mother. Keep paying what you wear, who's using money." After three years the new mother revealed what had been bugging her mind. Arin was confused as to what to answer. He was thinking about what answer he would say to the mother.Pas he was willing to answer suddenly rama's voice sounded.

" Sister no phone .from earlier reads .. Important time yes ."

" Bentar bund ..Arin pick up the phone first.."

Arin ran into the house and entered his room. He can breathe a sigh of relief .No need to lie to my mom. He was actually confused to answer what . To be honest whether you will be angry or not.

While mom just sighed. Failed to get an answer from Arin he thought.

Arin looked at his phone. Call tone is dead .He saw the call history of Fian . He just let it go. Usually if important will definitely call again.Arin put down his phone. Arin took her towel and headed for the bathroom. It feels fresh to be hit by water on this hot day. If he wasn't ashamed, he would have taken a bath in the river. Arin took a long shower. Did not feel the time was running.Jam shows three o'clock . Ashar adzan. Arin prays and will soon be ready to leave. It's been prepared what he'll bring to Bara. He checked his bag and wallet again. "Money already, mobile already, AtM card already. Oh yes the money is less than five million..Stop by the AtM engine first. He said it slowly." Arin out of bedchamber.

" Mother... Arin's gone for a second.. I had a promise to meet a friend. "

" Yes Rin.be careful .. don't go home at night."

" Ready bund.. Assalamu'alaikum's chat.."

Arin runs his bike slowly, to the hospital. Near the hospital there is an ATM machine will take the money there he thought. All are ready to meet Bara with all the possibilities that will happen later..

Let's wait for what's gonna happen.....
