Sledgefish

This morning Adnan was ready to go to his office. Before leaving, he looked for his mother to say goodbye.

"Mom..mom.." cried Adnan while going down the stairs.

Ms. Retno was surprised when she saw Adnan.

"Cho, Adnan. You going to the office?" ask Miss Retno.

"Yes ma'am" Adnan replied briefly.

"Say we'll go find Aluna."

Adnan looked at his mother. Adnan felt sorry for having to involve his mother in this matter.

"Mom, let me find Aluna myself. I'm just here waiting for home."

"But you're going to Nan's office."

"Yes Mom, I'm going to the office. But I also want to find Aluna. If I can't find her, I'll ask the police for help or I'll put Aluna in the missing persons search newspaper. So that Luna can be quickly found," explained Adnan.

"But you're in such a hurry. You don't want to have breakfast?"

"No Ma'am. I'm gonna eat at the office."

"Yes, that's it. It's up to you Nan. I can only doain. Hopefully Aluna can be found quickly."

"Yes Mom. I'll go first, ma'am."

"Yes Nan. Be careful on the road."

After saying goodbye to his mother, Adnan then stepped out of his house. Meanwhile, Ms. Retno returned to the kitchen to help Ms. Asih cook.

"Mbak Asih, the vegetables are ripe yet?" ask Miss Retno.

"Not yet Ma. It'll be like." In a minute."

"Yes, I'll stay a while. When it's ripe, just pick it up."

"Yes, Mom."

Retno then left the kitchen.

The drying of Mbak Asih's phone surprised Mbak Asih. Ma'am Asih took his phone that was in his pocket.

Ma'am Asih was surprised when he got a call from Mila.

"Bu Mila," said Mbak Asih.

Mbak Asih then hurriedly raised the call from Mila.

"Hello, this is Miss Mila."

"Yes Maak Asih. I'm Mila. "

"Where is Mila now? did Madam Mila come home."

"No Ma'am Asih. I still live near here."

"Duh Bu Mila, why just ngabarin now anyway."

"Why Asih?"

"There's a problem in this house, ma'am."

"What problem?"

"Aluna son of Madam left the house. And now he's gone missing and hasn't been found."

"What! my son is missing? how could it be?"

"Yesterday afternoon Aluna will play with Miss Retno in front of the house. Miss Retno lived Aluna went inside. Not long after Bu Retno came out, Aluna was no longer in front of the room. Looks like Aluna deliberately went to look for Miss Mila."

"Geez, how reckless that kid is. What has he met now?"

"Not yet Ma. From yesterday, Ms. Retno and Mr. Adnan have been looking for Aluna. But until now Aluna hasn't been found by ma'am."

"Yes my. Why it could be like this."

"Did Miss Mila want to talk to Miss Retno."

"Yes, Mom."

"Yes, it's Mbak Asih. I hung up the phone first. If there's anything, tell me again."

"Yes Miss Mila."

"Assalamualaik."

"Wa'alakiumalam"

"Aluna, where are you now, son, why do you have to worry mama. I'm sorry, son, because you have to stay in Aluna. Actually Mama also did not have to leave you in that house," said Mila sad.

Mila was still thinking about her son. He did not feel that the fish in front of him was charred.

Mila was shocked as she looked at the frying pan. All the fish he was frying, charred and turned black.

"Oh Allah, the fish are charred. It can be angry at Holy Ma'am and Mas Zaki this is mah," said Mila panicked.

"Ma...Mama.." exclaimed Zaki as he went down the stairs.

He walked into the kitchen to look for the Holy Mother. He was surprised when he saw the fish on the face of the fryer.

"Mila, what the fuck are you. Why do fish fry get to that gosong?" said Zaki in a high tone.

Mila looked towards Zaki.

"Mas Zaki, sorry Mas. I was daydreaming, so the fish was charred," explains Mila.

"Dreamy? daydreaming what the hell early in the morning gini. That's a fish for my side dish and mama. If it gets all burnt up like that, we want to eat with what side dishes Mila! you're so careless Mila" Zaki grumbled.

Early in the morning Mila had already pissed Zaki off.

"Once again, I'm sorry Mas Zaki, for my carelessness."

The Holy Mother who heard the noise in the kitchen, hurriedly walked into the kitchen to see what was happening in the kitchen.

"What's this about? why are you guys making noise in the morning?" ask Holy Ma.

"It's Ma, this woman's already fried fish up so charred." Zaki pointed towards the frying pan.

Holy Ma'am was surprised when he saw the Slingfish.

"Geez, the fish can get so charred like Mila?" ask Holy Ma.

"Not just one two, but all Ma" Zaki said.

"Mila, where did you live, why did the fish get so charred."

"I'm sorry, I was dreaming, Mom. I didn't know the fish was charred."

"You're daydreaming about what else Mila. I've said many times with you, avoiding your problems with your husband. There's no point in you thinking about him. He is not necessarily thinking of you" said the Holy Mother.

"I don't think about my husband, Mom. But I'm thinking about my missing son."

Holy Ma'am and Zaki were shocked when they heard Mila's words.

"Disappeared how Mil? he's the same as his father, right?" The Holy Mother still did not believe.

"Yesterday he went from home to look for me. But, until now my son has not been found," explained Mila.

"Here is the reason she Ma. I believe what you said Mil. I know, you're just making up stories so my mom doesn't get mad at you. It is."

"It's true. I'm not nagging. My son is missing. And I have to find it."

"Yes Zaki, you just wait in the dining room. Let mama do the side dishes for you."

"Ma, next time, don't tell this woman to be in Ma's kitchen. If every day his kingdom daydreams. Could harm us Ma. He could have burned our house down. Fish until it's so charred."

After saying that, Zaki then left the kitchen. While the Holy Mother told Mila to leave the kitchen.

"Mila, if you are less concerned, or you are less healthy, you just rest in the room. Let mom cook. Now you just go."

"But Ma'am. I can't just stand hands. I also have to help you in the kitchen."

"It's okay. Don't need. You just do another job. Auntie will come soon too. Let's do the cooking, let's leave it to aunt."

"Yes, Mom then."
