TINI SUKETI
14. News From Posyandu

So early in the morning Evi woke up every day, Puput II was still asleep. The rooster was often surprised because Evi opened the kitchen door suddenly. For some reason it seems as if Puput II is down on his master's attitude. Always wake up in the afternoon.

After cooking and cleaning his house Evi rushed to heat the motor as usual. He will go around from one village to another to collect customer installments.

Tini has sent money several times. The next year of learning Evi had asked her brother to register immediately. Because of that, Evi is more persistent in charging. He was determined to finish everything before leaving for the nearest city. Evi decided to go to college not too far, so that once a week can still go home to visit Dayat and Pak Joko.

During Tini's departure to the city, Evi must bear the whispers of the neighbors. Their neighbors seemed to tirelessly tell about Tini who sabotaged the wedding reception of her ex-boyfriend. But, like Tini's message to him, Evi did not want to bother. Life goes on as usual. The stories will certainly evaporate as the tiredness of human tongue pronounce that-that's it.

However, it was ten as Evi went around, and arrived near posyandu. His views focused on Coki and Siti Kusmini arguing in front of a large banner containing an ASI campaign.

Posyandu was filled with young mothers carrying their babies. Also pregnant women who are checking the womb, seen to pay attention to the young couple.

Curious about what the couple was arguing about, Evi ventured to stop her bike and walked over. The small commotion quickly provoked the people who came over out of curiosity.

After rumors that Siti Kusmini was delinquent on the beef bill at the market, because she did not return the capital at the reception. The woman seems to be making the latest hot gossip.

Evi stands behind the body of a mother holding her child. He sharpened his ears to listen to the conversation of Coki and Siti. But after being near ASI's campaign banner, Evi soon realized the topic of debate in front of her.

“Your eyes from earlier saw it there aja,” sergeant Siti. “You don't think I'm watching?”

“Not there! I just look at the streets. Mandangin. You do not accuse me carelessly. Why did I see this advertisement?” Chef pointed at the banner.

“Other times, if I check the content, you don't need to come. Waiting for my turn to be called check, you even feel at home mandangin susun si Tini.” Siti Kusmini pointed at the banner.

“No why did I look at that banner?” refute Chef. His eyes again glanced at the banner featuring Tini Suketi who was smiling acting breastfeeding ‘bayinya’.

Evi couldn't help but laugh. He immediately smothered his mouth and crouched down to giggle alone. The photo on the banner was indeed true showing Tini who was breastfeeding the baby.

A few months ago, long before the bickering incident between Coki and Tini, the woman was indeed offered by the Head of Puskesmas to become the star of an ASI campaign advertisement in their village. No one in the village was willing to be a model. It has been said that the photo will not open. The chest will be covered by the baby's head. Still young mothers there, no one wants to. All are forbidden by husband. They are only willing to lend their babies as models.

Because the Head of the Puskesmas who was close enough to Tini one day conveyed the complaint, Tini finally pity. He was able to help the Head of Puskesmas campaign for the importance of Exclusive Breastfeeding on infants.

The large banner was in posyandu. With Tini's face smiling sweetly while breastfeeding ‘bayinya’. In the banner it is also said the importance of fathers supporting the breastfeeding movement of their wives.

Tini who is being used as a quarrel material may have forgotten the photo. After being satisfied laughing Evi stood back up to peek at the annoyed face of Siti Kusmini.

Then, as the commotion drew more and more attention, a nurse came out to break up.

“Pak, Mom! Yeah, already. Shame on the crowd. Come on, just go home. Check it out next time. The problem is solved first at home. Other patients can sit back, yes.” The nurse pointed at the empty long benches. The inhabitants all moved around Coki and his wife.

“When is this advertising banner taken down?” Instead of stopping the commotion, Siti Kusmini pointed at the banner with an annoyed face.

“Kok, when is it lowered? The banner just went up yesterday. Mother's personal problems have nothing to do with the success of the puskesmas program. It's already! Sana—sana!” the female nurse kicked out Coki and Siti with a look that was no less upset.

Hearing that, Evi quickly moved away from the crowd and immediately turned on her motor. He couldn't wait to get home and call Tini.

Tini still continued to laugh even though her conversation with Evi was over.

“Hey, crazy! Not ready to laugh from earlier,” sergeant Mak Robin from the plastic chair.

“What do you look like?” ask Mama Robin. “This was you! Say it first,” by Mak Robin.

Tini pulled a plastic stool and sat down next to Mak Robin. While recounting the incident that Evi had just told over the phone, Mak Robin laughed out loud to the point of choking.

“In pesonglah you!” mak Robin.

“I can't imagine how long they won't go to posyandu. Check the content elsewhere, far away. The hunted rat begat on the road,” Tini continued, then laughed again.

“Sok bestselling time I looked in the village,” said Mak Robin.

“I am in demand. A lot of people come home to shoot me as a girlfriend. I often refuse men. There is still a motorbike parking in my yard, I immediately refused!” tini said excitedly.

“Yes, you refuse! I would have refused if someone suddenly parked at my door. Don't know me!” Mak Robin floated the milk bottle towards Tini.

Tini caught the milk bottle and continued her laughter. “You passed, Mom! Passed so my friend!”

Plakk!

Tini smacks the milk bottle into Mak Robin's arm.

“Aih, bodat! Pain!” mak Robin's.

Six months working in karaoke, it did not make happiness and smooth life Tini long. One morning Tini woke up to a phone call from Maisaroh.

“Tin! Tin! Wake up! Buy a newspaper! Daily Compost!” peekik Maisaroh from across the phone.

Tini who has not washed his face. Reading the contents of the message from his friend alone, he went straight to the bottom line. Straight to the subject. With his eyes still sleepy he was told to buy a newspaper.

“What's wrong?” tanya Tini got up from the bed and hurriedly checked her face in the brown-framed mirror on the wall.

“Many ask you! There!” maisaroh. “If you have bought, see the back page. Fast!” pinta Maisaroh again.

All parts of Tini's body shook as he ran out of the alley towards a stall. The location of the stall is a bit far, but there also sells various newspapers and magazines. After paying, Tini rolled up the newspaper and immediately returned to the boarding house.

On a plastic chair, he stretched the daily Compost he bought.

Some time looking for the thing Maisaroh said, Tini's eyes widened when he found it. He opened his mouth and started crying.
