Zaki and Tania sat facing each other on the front porch chair. They just stared at each other bashfully without anyone starting the conversation. A few minutes later, Zaenab appeared in front of them with a tray containing two cups of warm sweet tea and a plate of hot fried bananas made by the mother.
"Sorry to disturb.please taste brother Tania, this is made by mother loh special for her girl friend bang Zaki..hehehehe" said Zaenab while putting drinks and snacks on the table.
"Thank you, Nab.It must be delicious made by mom!"tania Sanjung.
"Tried aja sak.pastik will be addictive. Bananas were taken from the garden behind our house." said Zaenab.
"Sister Tania when do you want to learn to cook with your mom?"
"Maybe next time yeah.if now I have no preparation at all."
"It's okay, brother. I'm glad there's finally a girl friend bang Zaki playing at home. After aye bosen see friends bang Zaki only mas Bambang and bang Ucok who always play here. I'm afraid bang Zaki in thought h**o with neighbors..hehehe" said Zaenab while giggling.
Tania who heard Zaenab's words laughed with amusement while covering her mouth.
Zaki's face looks uncomfortable hearing Zaenab's words to Tania.
"Have you spoken?"ask Zaki to his sister.
"There is still a lot of bang. You can borrow Tania for an hour.please.." replied Zaenab.
"Can't! Is Tania a loanable item?"Zaki was getting upset. Tania who saw Zaki's pouting face finally opened her voice to Zaenab.
"Next time yes, Gab. I think your brother wants to talk important to me." Tania said
"Abang wants to talk to Tania. You just go in there! Learn to try out in the room!"zaki said with a cynical look towards Zaenab.
"Yes yes..aye in! You stingy!"zaenab sewot.
Zaenab went into his room with a pouting face. Hearing Zaki's remark to her sister, Tania just shook her head.
"It turns out you're fierce too, aren't you your sister?"tania Ledek.
Zaki ignored Tania's words.
"You came to my house and didn't say anything?"ask Zaki.
"I chatted and called you many times but there was no answer at all" Tania said.
"I'm sorry...My phone's in cas"
"Why did you introduce me as a friend instead of your girlfriend?"tanya Tania was curious.
Hearing Tania's question, Zaki was silent for a moment and wiped his face with both hands.
"Are you ashamed to have a boyfriend like me?"tania asked as she stared intently at Zaki.
"I'm not ready to be honest with my family" Zaki replied, holding Tania's hand.
"How do you feel about me? Don't you really love me?"
"I like you a lot."
"You just like me but you don't love me, do you?"
"What is the difference between liking and loving? I think it means the same thing.
"Of course it's different Zaki."
"For me it's the same. When I tell you that I like you, that's where I start to love and love you." Zaki replied.
"Then why don't you ever let me into your house?"
"I'm afraid you can't accept this simple family. I'm afraid my parents can't accept you because..."
Just as Zaki wanted to continue with his words, Tania's phone suddenly rang.
"Hello pa's...Tania again at the college friend's house. I'll be heading there soon. In about 10 minutes, my college work is done. Tania dear papa." said Tania to her papa who was calling.
"I'll take you...I'll get my jacket and motorbike keys in the room first. You wait here first."Zaki hurried to his feet from his seat. Tania simply nodded her head in agreement.
Babe who hears Zaki is about to enter the house immediately runs to the sofa and pretends to watch television. Mom and Zaenab who had just come from the kitchen were astonished at Babe's attitude.
Zaki walks into his room, picks up his jacket, motorcycle key and wallet. When he wanted to get out, Zaki asked for permission to drive Tania to Babe and the mother who was watching television in the living room.
"Bec.mak...Zaki wants to take Tania home first." said Zaki while wearing a jacket to his body.
"Let's go see Neng Tania."take mom
Babe and Mom follow Zaki from behind to the front porch. Tania who was sitting staring at the starry sky that night immediately stood up and paid a farewell to babe and mother.
"Mom.pak.myself. Thank you for dinner." said Tania
"Where are you, neng? It's still late afternoon not yet. Here aj first.."persuade mom.
"Sorry mom, I can't. I have an event with the family so I have to rush home." Tania said with a smile
"Play here often...I'm glad that Zaki's friend came here."
"Yes ma'am." replied Tania while kissing the hands of mom and babe.
"Zaenab where, ma'am?"
"Zaenab is in his room, again learning to prepare to try out."
"Greetings to Zaenab, ma'am..."
"Yes neng"
Then Zaki kissed his parents' hands while saying his greetings.
"Assalammualaikum" Zaki said.
"Waalaikumsalam" said babe and mom.
Finally Zaki drove off his bike and left Babe and mother who were still standing on the porch of his house.
"Be.ayo we're in!"bring mom
"Roh...kok earlier Tania did not say hello to us?"ask babe wonder
"The time is bang.seemat aye he said kok.." replied the mother while remembering when Tania say goodbye.
"That greeting Zaki is not Tania."
"Maybe neng Tania forgot her bang times. The important thing is that we pray for them to survive until the goal. Aamiin's."
"Aamiinu. You didn't notice the appearance of Neng Tania? Her hair was on color, her clothes were slightly open and she wore a bracelet with a symbol.."babe did not continue his words because he was not sure what he heard and what he saw at a glance.
"Udah bang, don't think. It's up to Zaki to be friends with anyone important we keep an eye on and look after our children."
"Yes" replied the short babe
"Let's go to the room! Aye cape bang wants to sleep."
"Shouldn't my brother have a massage on his body? Let tomorrow morning you are more seger.hehehe"goda babe while winking her eyes.
"Basic Aki-aki is still rocking in bed!"
"Abang will be young and strong to shake his beloved baby brother until morning."Babe hugs mom from behind.
Eventually, they both went into the room.
