ABOUT YOU
Red lipstick aunt

Arfan sat beside me, he stared at my face for quite a while while smiling knots. I returned her smile and felt quite happy to be able to get together with Arfan's little family. But I think back to thinking for a moment. I thought back to that shabby box and picture frame.

Suddenly, I also remembered the words of Jeni who said that Arfan likes to walk with women with red lipstick. I have to talk about this with Arfan.

“Come, at the meal, Ris. Eat it, yeah. You cannot cook,” said his mother Arfan while laughing.

“Iya, Aunt. Thank you very much.”

Arfan's mother was really nice to me. He brought some food to my plate. I was like seeing the figure of a mother in her mother Arfan. She is beautiful, kind and attentive. Instantly I was touched by all the little attention his mother Arfan had for me. Suddenly, my tears rolled down my cheeks.

“Don't cry,” said Arfan quietly while holding my hand and looking at my face.

“Iya, I will not cry,” I said answering while wiping my tears.

After finishing dinner together and helping her mother Arfan in the kitchen, I overheard Arfan as if he was fighting with someone on the phone. His voice sounded heavy and several times Arfan was heard raising the volume of his voice.

Who's phone call from approximately, to make Arfan upset like that?

“Why, Fan?” I asked as soon as Arfan came out of his room.

“Nothing. Last night, I anterin lo go home, yeah?”

“Ya already, come.”

Since it was late, I decided to say goodbye to his mother Arfan and Arini.

“Be careful on the road, yeah? If Arfan macem-macem is the same as Risa, Risa should not hesitate to complain to her mother and also Arini.

Later, we must be angry Arfan at home,” said his mother Arfan while embracing me.

“Iya, Aunt,” I replied shyly.

“Call mom only, let it look familiar.”

“Iya, Mother.”

We hugged back. Arini who had been silent since then, immediately approached us and immediately hugged the two of us so tightly.

“Ikutan, dong!” arfan exclaimed, who immediately spread out his hands, intending to embrace us. But, Arini immediately prevented her brother while pulling Arfan's right hand violently.

“No, not muhrim,” he said which made me and also his mother Arfan laugh.

“Huh, cheating! Yes, go home, Ris. I have promised you that you will not go home malem-malem.”

“Iya. Ma'am, Arini, Risa said back home first, yeah?” I said as I kissed Arfan's mother's palm and hugged Arini so tightly.

“Later to play home again well, Risa Tea.”

“Iya.”

After saying goodbye, Arfan and I immediately rushed away because the clock had shown at 8 pm. Because of the rain, we were forced to take shelter at a stop with our clothes wet.

“Elo already said bokap lo right if you come home late because of rain?”

“Udah. I had whatsapp dad, ko.”

“Do I need to call your father lo, let your father calm down?”

“Ndon't need. Dad said it was okay. So, you don't need to call dad.”

Arfan nodded. The rain fell so hard, many people in the street were running around looking for a place to shelter. The air was getting colder and puddles began to be seen everywhere.

Suddenly, Arfan clasped my right hand and made me look at his face in shock at his attitude.

“Let's not cold. It's okay if I hold your hand?” ask her while looking at my face.

“Iya, it's okay,” I replied shyly.

For some reason, Arfan's sweet attitude today makes me very happy. I was so happy that Arfan was holding my right hand so tightly that he would not let go. His hand was so warm, I was made nervous by his sweet attitude this time.

“Today elo must be tired, well?” ask Arfan.

“Ngak, ko. Today was fun. Thanks well, Fan.”

“Sama-sama. I'm in the mood if you're seneng.”

“You also know I am the same mother as Arini. I feel like I have a new family.”

Arfan smiled again and stroked my hair gently.

“Udah subsides, nih. Home now?” asked Arfan who was still holding my hand.

“Iya.”

“Cold no?” arfan shouted while riding his motorcycle.

“Lumayan,” sahutku who also shouted.

“If it's cold hug me. My body is ready to warm lo!” he said back to screaming.

“Bby?”

“Billah. My girlfriend is.”

Since it was allowed, I immediately hugged Arfan's body so tightly. I also lay my head on Arfan's broad shoulder. Ahh, it feels so comfortable. So want to linger hugging Arfan.

“Fan, can it not?”

“What's it?”

“Tadi, who's the same phone? Ko, it looks like you rich are fighting that on the phone?”

“Oh. It's nobody, ko. That's it, Ris. It's normal for a boy to talk to a rich man who is fighting,” his answer looks nervous.

“Totally?”

“Yes, bener.”

“Continue, I can it again not be the same lo?”

“What else is it, Ris? Richly, elo many inquires today.”

“Soal gossip that says that you like the same way red lipstick auntie is really not?”

“Hah?” he looked surprised.

“Who's red-lipstick aunt, Fan? Why so many strange gossip about lo, anyway?”

Arfan speechless. He did not answer and made me more curious about the gossip circulating about the red-lip aunt. Is gossip really true? If it's true, I need to know the real identity of the aunt. And, I need to be ready to hear Arfan's answer to the gossip.

“Honest, Fan. I won't be angry, ko.”

Arfan stopped his bike on the side of the road. He opened his helmet and glanced at me.

“We can chat soon no?”

“Hah? Yes can.”

“We find a seat first, let's have a good chat.”

After finding a park, Arfan and I headed there to talk about what I had questioned on the bike. The two of us immediately sat on a separate swing with our heads lowered.

“Elo want to know the truth about the red-lip aunt, Ris?” tanyanya opened her voice.

“Iya. I need to know about it, let there be no misunderstanding between us.”

Arfan took a short breath. He nodded his head then looked at my face with both balls that looked sad.

“Gossip is true, Ris,” he said suddenly.

“Hah? Mean lo?”

“Iya. Aunts are right. I did walk with a aunt with red lipstick.”

“Elo seriously?” ask me to make sure.

“Iya, I'm serious.”

Degghh, it feels like my heart is beating so fast. I didn't think the gossip about aunts was true. So, who are these aunts? Ko, I don't think I'd listen to the story. It felt like my heart ached the moment I heard it, but, I was curious. And, I want to know the truth from my own boyfriend's mouth about the gossip.

“So?” I said opening my voice.

“Tante-tante is the guy I know, Ris. He is 13 years from my age. If it's the same way I might look like an aunt. But, actually he's not really aunty, ko.”

Whahuh? 13 years? Is it okay, auntie is Arfan's old boyfriend again? So, are they still in touch today? Why do we get to know each other too?

“You are still in touch until now?” ask me to vent.

“He who contacts me often, Ris. Call me often, chatt me and never meet me every day. In fact, he sometimes likes to give money to me.”

“What? Love money??” I cried so surprised when I heard it.
