Eating Meatballs


"Definitely if already so the mother that Rindy turned into a kang julid, sure me," Marcel chirped as he nibbled at the end of the sofa cushion.


"Retail." Marsya also said while practicing the faces of mothers who like julid in the world of pergosipan.


"Superb as our neighbor's aunt Wati, bad julid. Surely Rindy is one college with Aunt Wati," continued Marsya. Marcel nodded his head and laughed. Justifying his brother's speech.


"Huss, you can't say that big brother, he's our neighbor, the first person who will definitely help us if we have anything," advised Niken so that his children are not in the habit of telling the ugliness of their neighbors.


"Ma, the story also dong moments while with Rayya," continued Marcel. Marsya ngakak and throw Marcel with a sofa pillow. Niken himself again just smiled amusedly.


"Well, so after Niken left....."

Niken was treated with ice cream when Rayya first drove Niken to ride his motorbike, now with the reason of hunger Rayya invited Niken to enjoy a famous cheap meatball among school children. Understandably, the pocket money of Junior High School children is still in rations. Rayya wants to look cool even with a mediocre budget.


"Aren't you here often?" Niken asked because he saw the time to order the menu, Rayya was seen chatting familiarly with the seller.


"Lumayan. My classmates if anyone should have their meal here. The son of the owner of this shop also used to be a school in Culture. But now it's high school." Niken nodded her head hearing Rayya's explanation. Rayya himself explained while cleaning the table from invisible dust with a tissue.


"When's the birthday, when's the birthday?" Rayya smiled at the question Niken asked.


"Still long. End of year."


"31 December?" Rayya shakes.


"Tomorrow we have a meeting. I forgot to tell Rindy. You're going to tell him tomorrow, right?" Niken pouted because Rayya did not answer her question. Niken would like to give a gift if his girlfriend is a birthday.


"What are you talking about, brother?" But I do not mind Niken serving this conversation as well. Because of the meeting problem that he thinks is also important.


"Activities in the month of Ramadan."


"Oiya, we'll fast soon."


The meatball seller delivers their order and takes the time to ask Rayya, "tumben Ray, just the two of you?"


"The other guys are home, sir." The seller turned to Niken and smiled at Niken with an awkward smile. More to the real grin.


"It could be you, Ray." The meatball seller laughed as he patted Rayya on the shoulder and passed to serve other customers. Rayya just scratched his head. Niken who witnessed the interaction gawked in wonder.


"Why the hell?" Rayya simply replied with a twitch of the shoulder.


"You've been with Runita for a long time?"


Since they were eating in silence, Rayya took the initiative to start the conversation. If he did not start the conversation, Niken would have been silent until Rayya drove him home.


"Since I entered Junior High."


"Why?"


"meaning?" Niken, who did not understand Rayya's question, looked confused.


"Why did you come with Runita's sister I mean? School in your faraway area?"


"No, Aunt Runita asked me to come with her. Actually mama did not give permission, but because Aunt Runita reasoned she was lonely finally mama gave permission too."


"How many brothers are you?"


Rayya frowned in surprise, "if you come with Runita's sister, mama you don't have the theme also dong?"


"Papa's sisters are close to our house, so our house is never empty because every day papa's nephew always plays at home. Aunt Runita since marriage has not been given momongan, here also there is no brother so yes, I was persuaded to follow him. Aunt Runita's part is very good, from me the baby has often come with her everywhere." Rayya smiled at Niken's explanation. It's a record Niken speaks at length as long as they get to know each other.


"Son Runita is pregnant again."


"Eh seriously? How did I just know?" Niken was shocked because all this time Aunt Runita never said anything. When they are at home they often talk together.


"I also know from Sinta's sister. Runita's sister is in the pregnant program. That's the same consultation Sinta."


"So, don't you ask the doctor?"


Rayya laughed at Niken's question. "Doctor what? my sister was so finished high school immediately busy asking to get married. He never went to college, where did he become a doctor."


"Kok aunty Runita can consult with Sinta? Not if the consultation must be the same doctor?" Niken wonder. Setau Niken whose name is a consultation must be with a doctor.


"I also do not know where Niken has knowledge from, she knows tips to get pregnant quickly."


Even though I don't understand it, Niken still nodded her head. Going home from school, Niken has to ask this to Aunt Runita. Niken hopes that someone can help Niken so that her pregnancy program will be successful if the tantenya is pregnant.


"Today when I went to my sister's house, I didn't see my sister's parents? Again work?" Niken asked on the sidelines of his meal.


"My mom works, there's a dress shop that my mom runs, if you've been dead a long time, since I was in 3rd grade."


Niken flinched in shock and rubbed the nape of confusion, "sorry sister."


Rayya laughed in response, "why sorry, my dad didn't die because of you."


"I'm sorry I offended my brother."


"It's been a while, too."


A small talk about their lives fills the meatball eating activity that afternoon. Rayya smiled happily because she could get to know Niken more closely. About her parents, her favorite food, her hobbies, whatever came out of Niken's mouth. Rayya will remember clearly in memory.


As for Niken, she is happy because she can be more expressive of storytelling. Usually Niken will turn clumsy when dealing with men who are not his daily association. With Dhani, Niken is indeed expressive but more inclined to quarrels. When with Rayya, Niken can chat normally with familiar.

"Rayya cool, I need an example of him, still can treat girls even though the budget is mediocre," said Marcel and shouted well because of the sudden shock of his brother throwing him back with a sofa pillow.


Every Marcel mentioned the word Rayya, somehow Marsya amused himself and reflexively threw the always faithful sofa cushion on his lap.


"The new circumcision yesterday afternoon has been quite willing to treat girls," ketus Marsya while turning the eyeballs.


"Eh but mama used to do kayak mama Marsya," said Niken suddenly make the debate between Marsya and Marcel automatically stop.


"I mean ma?" Marsya and Marcel exchanged lyrics because they happened to say the same sentence.


"Tomorrow mama, it's night, you don't sleep?"


"My mom, tomorrow is off, half an hour, ma, promise abis sleep. Curious I, the story of how mama can be the same as Marsya's sister," said Marcel who was nodding Marsya.


Hmm, okay. It takes longer to continue this story.
