WHAT ABOUT ME?
41
I also stopped saying greetings because apparently Iqbal, granddaughter of Miss Parni came and greeted me from behind. The biggest smile of her beer bi when she approached me.
"eh mas Iqbal, where are you? .. "why me
"out the road. Who? " tanyanya pointed towards Gita
"my schoolmate, her name is Gita. Gita knows him, his name is Iqbal, Parni's grandson"
"Gita" he reached out his hand to Iqbal and greeted him kindly.
"Iqbal..."
"you're here to see Grandma, right? yes, let's go in" he asked and then went straight into the house.
Before entering, I glanced at Gita who seemed to be watching Iqbal silently, I could see a radiance of admiration from him while staring at Iqbal.
"conscious neng" my unwillingness so that Gita does not continue to look at Iqbal
"ish, what the heck Je, I was admiring the creation of Almighty God." he softened in my ears.
I didn't budge, just shook my head and followed Iqbal into the house.
"assalamu'alaikum. "greetings to me and Gita as we enter the living room.
actually, we had met each other face to face with the children of Parni, but because of the call from Iqbal it was that made me finally stop greeting them.
"wa'alaikumsallam." they answered in unison.
"mother is behind, soon to be here" said om Iwan.
"yes... "
"let's sit down first, take his friend as well" aunt Ruri, wife om Iwan or mother of Iqbal, let us sit while waiting for Miss Parni to come.
me and Gita were sitting opposite Iwan and Aunt Ruri, while Iqbal had entered the living room, maybe he was also calling Parni at the back.
while waiting for Ms. Parni, I had a little chat with both parents Iqbal, apparently they now always return home every week on school holidays.
"tante Yula where's tan, that feeling of his car outside? " my question to Aunt Ruri. Aunt Yula is the second daughter-in-law of Parni, wife of om Tio.
"again in the dalem, it was called Amanda" he replied.
not long after that Parni ma'am came with Ahmad, I immediately stood up and kissed the back of his hands as well as the Gita.
"said your mother yesterday, you did not go home Jasmin, when you arrived home? " ask Ms. Parni while sitting in an empty chair.
from the kitchen, Iqbal came with a tray of tea cups and placed them on the table.
"yes, thanks mas~" replied me and Gita.
"yes ma'am, initially want to go home later, but do not know why, so want to go home. let alone on the phone Jefri said that kangen, so I immediately prepare to go home, so I immediately prepare to go home, maybe because it is never far apart, so once far away, people home on nyariin" I answered.
ms. Parni muttered, the old face reminded me of my grandmother at home, do not ask me where I am, ask me how I am not, very different from Ms. Parni, he was just another person but his attitude exceeded that of a grandmother to her granddaughter.
long enough I visited my former employer's house. After the time to address five in the afternoon, I immediately say goodbye to go home.

Day
Tinkling sound of spoons and plates interlinking, tonight I am very happy because I can feel the feeling of eating together with my family.
finished dinner and tidied up the dining table, Gita and I soon followed the mother who had already moved to the family room.
"alhamdulillah already full live watching tv yes deck" said I to my sister who was focusing on staring at the television screen in front of her.
he nodded "iya dong, mumpung tomorrow off, so can watch television as much as possible, yes ma'am... "
"but can't stay up late, watch tv as necessary, if it's time to rest it must be turned off the tv" answered my mother.
"ah mother, that's the answer" Jefri grumbled.
gita and I sat leaning against the wall while Jefri, he was looking for the most comfortable position because he looked sleepy.
"last week Rania came here nyariin you, but because you are not there, she immediately say goodbye to home" said mother made me immediately turn my head
"Rania? tumben ma'am isn't he also a school in the city huh, we usually exchange news through messages, but tumben Rania did not ask me first if you want to go home"
"mother also does not know, but the mother caught, Rania's sepetinya is in trouble, because she came in the condition of puffy eyes"
"jeez, what's wrong with Rania, why doesn't she share anything with me.
but from last week he has rarely sent messages to me mom. ever but only occasionally and it just asks me news, he does not say if it runs out of the house"
"maybe impromptu brother. try tomorrow you go to his house who knows he is at home"
"yes, try to go there tomorrow"

In the room, I slept with Gita. time has shown at 22.00 wib but neither I nor Gita sleepy one
"oh, so Rania is your friend.." I explained to Gita who Rania was, even I told her about Haris who in fact was Rania's lover, the man who rejected me once.
