WHAT ABOUT ME?
70
After eating, Yuda immediately drove me home to the boarding house because it was very late.
after Judah was invisible to sight, I entered my boarding house.
Today was quite tiring, I threw my buh on the foam mattress, while continuing to think about the events that I have been going through all day.
recalling the time at the meatballs shop, Yuda and I exchanged stories starting from school until now.
not to forget I also told how Haris attitude to me until I decided to stay in Jakarta even though it has been more than 2 years I did not return to my hometown.
***
1 month later
The sun began to reveal its smile, giving light after the darkness of the night had left.
I sat in front of the terrace of my room with a medium-sized backpack on the right side of my leg.
repeatedly I stared at the clock on my phone, but for 15 minutes, the person I was waiting for did not come, but he already said if he was on his way and would arrive soon.
"eh mbak Jasmin, where are you going early in the morning? " ask my kos neighbors
"mudik mbak, mumpung get a leave of absence, "I replied with a smile.
"to Surabaya? don't forget by her, mbak,"
"insyaallah mbak Lela, "
Lela and I have been friends since she first started spending time here a few months ago.he is also an overseas child just like me.
after he left for the kitchen, I turned on my phone again, about to call someone
but just now I was looking for his phone number, a familiar voice called me.
"Jasmine." call her as she approaches me.
"you finally came also Jud, I don't think you're going to be the one to bring me home, " said I breathed a sigh of relief
"sorry yes, just after replying to your message, I stopped by the minimarket for a while. Ready already? yuk left, "
I nodded and grabbed the backpack beside my feet, but Yuda swiftly snatched it "Let me alone".
2 weeks ago, after the end of the misunderstanding between me and Yuda, he invited me to return to Surabaya.
in addition to seeing his grandfather's house in the village, he also wanted to meet his mother and also take me home. because to be honest I was a little reluctant to go home because Haris increasingly became so to me. Even my friendship with Rania was forced to break up because she thought I could not be firm with her husband.
The trip this time was short because we chose the air route, only in the travel time of 1 hour 30 minutes we finally arrived in Surabaya.
From the airport, we boarded the pickup car that had been prepared by Yuda. The man even thought about the smallest thing in detail, he even brought a lot by Jefri and the mother at home.
ah Yuda, you are indeed a dream man...
1 Hour we have been on the way, finally we entered the gate of my village. apparently some years did not go home, there have been many changes.
arriving at the front of the house, I saw my mother and Jefri sitting on the porch, my mother was sewing while my sister was playing her phone.
Yuda clasped my hand, and invited me to get out of the car immediately.
"let's go down, "
I nodded and got out of the car, as soon as I got down, I ran over to my mother without waiting for Yuda behind me.
"mother." call me.
the mother who was focusing on her sewing thread turned her head, she immediately stood up, put the seams on the table and poured into my arms, likewise with my sister who immediately put down her phone and hugged me.
"Jasmin misses the same, Mother,"
mom broke her arms and kissed my cheeks in turn, I never thought, my sister, Jefri, she was crying too today.
"He who is sister? " ask Jefri while pointing behind me.
Oh, my God, I almost forgot that I came with Yuda. I looked at the back, smiling guiltily.
"you forgot the same, Him? " ask her
"who indeed? you never take a guy to the house? " she said, while mother was observing the figure who was now beside me.
"assalamu'alaikum, Ma'am"
"wa'alaikumsallam, this? "
"i am Yuda ma'am, her son is Ayu ma'am, I forgot about Yuda? "
"astaga, you've grown up now son, mother to pangling loh. I think the mother's son brought the capital artist, "mother chuckled recklessly patting the shoulder of Judah.
"ayo went into the house. Jef, make your brothers drink, they must be thirsty, "mom's word and be carried out by my sister.
I carry my backpack while Yuda pulls his big suitcase and takes it inside the house.
I sat in the living room with Yuda while mother went to the kitchen to meet Jefri who was making us drink.
I stared at the building of my house, which is still the same as the last time I came home, mother took good care of the house of my father, although not as luxurious as the other neighbors.
Judah moved from his seat, chose to sit on the floor and grabbed his suitcase.
"what's up, Yud? " ask me when Yuda starts to open his suitcase.
"here, help me, "he said.
I immediately approached and sat down beside Yuda, the smell of mint was strong when I was near Yuda.
"astaga, how much, Yud? " i was surprised to even look at Yuda in disbelief, how not, in the large suitcase he was carrying, only containing snacks and some clothes that still look new.
"make mother-in-law with sister-in-law, "is always
blusses
my cheeks were hot when Judah said that, "don't make the baper, Yud, "my grunt was upset
"well, really, this is for the same mother Jefri. soon we will marry, automatically I will also be part of your family, "
"diffuse, who said? who wants to marry you? "
"same you are, same who else, it is impossible if the same Jefri, orange eat orange dong, "
I shook my head, but immediately helped Yuda pull out the contents of the suitcase according to his orders, coinciding with Mother and Jefri coming out of the kitchen area.
"astaga, what is this, Jasmin, you want to sell at home? " ask mom when she sees how many things fill the table
"no ma'am, no, ask Yuda, "
"this is Yuda brought by the same mother Jefri,"
mom smiled and sat in the same chair as Jefri, "shouldn't bother carrying it like this, you guys already want to come and mom was more than enough, son Jefri, you know, thank you, yes, "
"yes the same, ma'am, no trouble at all, "
