The Heart of Old Menjakaka
361. Patience as thin as tissue
In the end, inevitably the security guard complied with Steven's request. In addition to fearing that the man would burn down the house, he also thought that Steven would bear all of Sofyan's wrath, when it happened.
"Yes, sir, if Mr. Sofyan is angry you have to take responsibility. I don't want to because it's fired" the security guard said. Reminded again.
Steven nodded confidently. "Yes. Quickly break the door. But just use the tools, because your body is flattened. It can't break the door." He looked at the body of the man in front of him who was indeed thin. It's like Bejo.
The guard nodded, then stepped towards the guard post. Want to find a tool that will be used to break down the door.
"No need to break down all doors. Don't damage people's homes let alone Brother's own house," Citra said.
"Yes, Om." Juna chimed in. "Can said Om Satpam also Opa same Oma already home. They may have gone home."
"You guys are snorting at them and sitting there." Steven did not comment on Citra's remarks, especially Juna who was just a child. He then pointed to several empty seats in front of the security guard post.
The image that does not want to fight chooses to be silent and obey. He immediately invited Juna to sit down in a chair.
"Tan, Juna is thirsty. Wanted to drink." Juna touched his dry throat. He also really wanted milk.
"We go inside first, who knows there's water there." The image that had just sat up immediately stood up again, then took his nephew and invited him into the security guard post.
Turns out he found one box that was a bottle of mineral water. On a table by the window.
The image takes one, then unseals it and gives it to Juna. "Now, drink first."
"But Juna wants chocolate milk, Tan." Juna just looked at the bottle that was still in the hands of Citra, but had no intention to take it.
"There is no chocolate milk. There's coffee, Juni." The image spread a look at the room. Looking around for sachet milk that turned out to be non-existent, there were only a few black coffee pots and civets, which hung on the nailed wall.
"Juna doesn't have coffee." Juna shakes.
"Yes, just drink water first. Later to drink milk if Kak Sofyan's house is successfully broken down, so that later Aunt will make milk for you," persuaded Citra while stroking the top of Juna's hair.
"Aunty can make milk?"
"Can." Imagra.
Juna grabbed the bottle, then they headed to the chair again and sat down. Because it is also impossible for Juna to drink in a standing position.
"Oh yeah, Tan, Om Steven it's a mess, yeah, the guy. Especially if you are angry again," said Juna slowly, when he had just finished a bottle of mineral water. He also watched Steven and the security guard from a distance, who were still busy with the door.
"That's because the influence is again upset, Jun, the original mah people are not kokebelin really," Citra defended. She did not like hearing other people vilify her husband, no matter who it was. Although she also admitted that her husband was a bitch.
"Absolutely sorry about Opa and Oma who haven't met?" guess Juna.
"Yes." Yeah." Imagra.
"But the word Opa .. if we are looking for everything, it must be with a patient heart, Tan, if the emotions will not be met quickly."
"That's right, Jun. But you also know that Ommu has a patience as thin as tissue." The image rubbed the hair of Juna's head gently.
Juna looked up a bit, then looked at Citra's face. "Kok Aunty wants to, anyway, marry Om Steven?! Juna if you are aunty mah do not want, even though Om Steven handsome."
"Name of love, yeah hard, Jun."
"Aunty used to know him where was Om Steven?! Are you a class right in school?"
Imagery shook. "Tante used to be betrothed to Aunty's father, before he died. Aunt Dad and Om Steven co-workers."
"Oh, keep fit first meet Aunt immediately like? Uh, what did Auntie like first about Steven?"
"Auntie first. New Om Steven. Om Steven used to not even like Auntie."
"Long is the story. If reported in detail can be up to Lebaran, Jun," kekeh Citra.
"By the way the Eid is, the fasting month will be, Tan. Will aunt fast?"
"God willing. You yourself have been fasting all day yet? Is it only half a day?"
"Juna—"
"Cit, we're going to Rizky's house right now" Steven sidelines quickly who just approached them.
"What's Rizky's house going for, A?" ask Citra while standing and lowering Juna to stand. Her husband got in the car first.
"Just get in!" tell Steven.
Citra and Juna nodded, then got into the car and sat down next to her. Soon the white car drove away from Sofyan's house.
Just now, Steven had managed to break down the door and enter the house. It's just that after checking with the security guard, it turns out that it is true, Angga and Sindi are not there.
"We're looking for Mama and Papa to Rizky's house. They must be there." Steven would know, if Nella was the only granddaughter. Which is very dear to Angga. So he thought that the man and his wife must have been there.
"Why don't you go to Papa's and Mama's house, A? They must have gone home" Citra suggested.
"We'll try first."

A few minutes to hours passed, in fact their search did not produce results.
Already at Rizky's house even returned to Angga's house as well, but still—the two of them and the Twins are not there. Like missing or deliberately hiding Steven.
The search was really in a dead end. Steven was confused where else to go. Both phones are also difficult to contact.
It's early morning. Citra and Juna fell asleep in the chair because of his sleepy horn.
Steven also felt it was not strong to drive, because it was holding back sleepiness since earlier. If it continues to worry it will endanger safety.
"I brushed for a while, deh, not as strong as it looks," muttered Steven while stopping his car on the side of the road. Then shut off the engine.
His hand slowly stretched out toward the top of Citra's hair, then stroked it and at that moment his eyes began to close. He fell asleep by himself.

Next day.
Ceklek~
Angga came out of his room, he looks like he has taken a shower and wears a casual dress. Red collared t-shirts and cream colored short pants.
His feet stepped towards the living room, right where Kevin was. The parrot was sleeping on the sofa alone in a sitting position.
"The vin! Wake now!" exclaiming Angga while sitting beside him, he also touched the top of Kevin's head.
The white-haired bird then blinked his eyes, then turned towards Angga.
"Yes, Pa?" said slowly.
Angga reached into his pants pocket, then took 50 thousands and gave it to Kevin's face. "Take this and go and buy rice sit two packs in front" he said.
...Fasting atuh, Opa, kok buy rice uduk 🤣...
