Dul
142. Little Storm

Mima briefly laughed when she saw Dayat panic because of a name that made her phone vibrate. When crossing the family room of Tini's house, Mima had to look back. A vague greeting came from Dayat answering his phone. Mima sneered, then shook her head and shrugged her shoulders. He left Tini's house with light steps. Recall that Heru must be waiting for her at home and preparing a snack for her.

*****

Dul turned to the front room when the sound of the turnstile was pushed. Must be Mima, he thought. Mima's power isn't very strong every time it pushes the fence. Makes the sound of iron being shifted heavy and slow. Though compared to girls his age Mima's body is quite tall, but tiny. Exactly their mother. The difference is, their mother's energy is stronger than Mima.

Dul was getting ready to get a thunderous greeting that would make his face red with blushing. Every time he brought Annisa home, Mima never got tired of mocking them as if it was the first time it happened.

“Cieeee .. there is a sister-in-law. Brother-in-law how are you? Don't miss this beautiful sister-in-law?” Mima went straight to Annisa. He leaned down to hug the woman's shoulder and shook her for a few seconds. After being satisfied, Mima went around the table and approached Heru's chair. “Pakdhe how are you? Must've caught me, right? Want to give me a snack, huh?” Mima started massaging Heru's shoulders.

“Udah late. Pakdhe just received a wallet. Anyway, at Budhe tini's house. What did you say?”

Heru's reply made Mima instantly stop her massage. “Serious want to know my business with Budhe Tini? Budhe Fifi coming soon, tuh. Can say if we talk about Budhe other.” Mima closed her mouth holding back a laugh.

Dul laughed as he saw Heru instantly speechless. Mima has never lost a fight in their family. The sound of the horn from the direction of the road made Dul turn back. “Definitely Akung,” said, getting up from the chair and welcoming into the living room. Leaving Annisa whose heart was pounding awkwardly. It was the first time he would meet the entire Satyadarma family.

“Nisa equals Mima help Mom to the back. Spoons and plates are still lacking.” Sejah pointed to two girls who were in a mood to follow him to the back.

“Mbok Jum how are you, Bu?” Annisa started a casual chat when she opened the spoon box and wiped it with a clean napkin.

“Mbok Jum good news. He said, well. But I feel healthy, yes not too healthy. His name is old too. Time is still here, lately difficult to sleep. If the night Mbok Jum often asked his son to make a video call with Ibra. Ibra usually ask to visit Mbok Jum.” Seamed down a white ceramic plate that he only used when major occasions. Like that day. Her house the arrival of her husband's relatives was almost complete. Dul also brought his girlfriend.

Annisa laughed a little. From the front room he had heard the joking voice of Dul and Ibra who were twelve years old. Dul must have directly carried his youngest brother. Annisa smiled faintly.

“Mmmm .. Bu,” call Mima who is in the task of wiping the plate that her mother offers.

“Hmmm?” The colon counts the plates and spoons it just took out. Everything has to be new furniture. Not the cutlery they used to use everyday. “You called Mom, right? What was? I want to bring this plate.” He lifted some of the dishes that Mima had cleaned.

“Paklik Dayat's his sister Budhe Tini, huh? Bladder?” mima asked, stopping her movement wiping the dishes.

Stopped to step. “Corpse? Where did you meet Dayat? Not abroad? Last Budhe Tini said that his sister took the magister abroad. The University of California. Same with the university in the office. For two years the school remained salaried as Dayat remained working online. In California, Dayat also worked at a local law firm. That's it, right, Dad?” He thrust the plate he carried into Bara's hands. The man had already heard half the topic of their conversation about Dayat.

“Dayat, yes? It's abroad. Mima has met? At Budhe Tini's house? Dayat has come home. Not felt, yes. Kaya Tini's sister who had just graduated from college when she decided to leave home. The reason is to be independent. Listen to get married, too, uh but instead study abroad. That's it, right, Mom?” Bara placed the plate on the table and turned to look at the Sejah who was following him. “So ... That day failed marriage or what? Did you miss the story? I've been dating long enough, right?”

Seized shaking. “Not clear, Mas. Dayat himself never talk about marriage or dating the same who. Who gave Dayat to marry, yes Tini. As we grow up, Dayat becomes more mysterious. Which remains a bucket, yes mbaknya.” Colored chuckling.

After laughing with Dijah, Bara again asked, “By the way why is the story about Dayat? Who asked? Mima?” Bara turned her head to look at Mima.

“Because I just met. Paklik Dayat again at Budhe Tini's house,” Mima replied quickly while putting the spoon she brought from behind.

Heru who was busy with his cell phone for a while, looked up when he heard the name Dayat called. “Dayat Tini's sister? Listen to the fame on the campus first. A lot of girls like it. Tini said Dayat likes PHP girl-cewe,” beber Heru.

“Not the same as Mas?” Bara put a mixture of papaya, watermelon, pineapple, and melon that has been cut into pieces as a dessert.

“There is nothing wrong with liking a girl. Even some affairs on campus can be completed faster,” replied Heru kalem.

Heru pulled Bara's arm so he could whisper in her cousin's sister's ear. “You also dealt with the police station when you conquered Dul's mother. Don't forget,” whispered Heru, cleared his throat then allowed the collar of his shirt.

Sejah who just came back to the dining table saw the behavior of Bara and Heru who simultaneously commented a smile on him. “What's up?” tanya Sejah's.

Bara and Heru simultaneously shook their heads. “Dayat,” answer them simultaneously.

“Why so Paklik Dayat ..” shrewd Mima, sneering at his father and pakdhenya.

“Akung already nyampe,” said Dul who just appeared while putting Ibra who had been held since.

“Udah finished all,” said Annisa quietly, standing holding the seat backrest. Take the time to exchange a glance with Dul for a moment. Trying to talk with the look in his eyes that afternoon he was a little nervous to meet Akung and Uti whose names are often mentioned.

It turns out that Dul is quite sensitive to the signal from Annisa. He shifted next to the girl with his hand still holding Ibra.

“Ehem, have you been waiting for Akung?” Mr. Wirya spread his gaze throughout the room. Then his eyes stopped on Heru. “Heru has arrived here first. Let's go out for a second. Outside Fifi is trying to park parallel in a limited place. Her husband here must be a lot of kidding.” Mr. Wirya chuckled as he saw Heru darting out without saying anything.

“Akung, Uti, today I want to recognize a new family member. Name's Annisa. Nisa's Akung and Uti.” Dul invites Annisa to approach Mr. Wirya and Bu Yanti.

Bara and Dijah exchanged glances to see the attitude of Dul that they increasingly realized that their son had indeed become a grown man.

Annisa shook hands with Mr. Wirya with a steady grip. Bu Yanti had touched Annisa's cheek while saying, “Have the doctor, huh?” Bu Yanti's smile even looked much wider than Colored.

“Next want to take another specialist?” asked Bu Yanti, continuing her words.

“Pengin plan take a child specialist or internal medicine specialist, Uti,” replied Annisa.

“Good .. good. Uti is happy young people who are school spirit. Now we eat first. Her mother's cuisine Dul is always delicious,” said Bu Yanti, heading to the dining table.

Annisa nodded, then shifted her body slightly to make way for Mr. Wirya. Heru and Fifi then followed to the dining room with a new story that they brought. Annisa commented on the smile of looking at the dining table filled with relatives who threw warm conversation topics. Dul was holding his hand when he felt his phone vibrate in the pouch.

The name on her phone screen made Annisa immediately release Dul's hand. “I received Papa's phone outside. Later I will follow,” Annisa said. He immediately went to the terrace.

Dul had not even answered a word when Annisa let go of her hand in the crowd of the dining room. The girl's face looked stiff. Though a moment ago Annisa was smiling sweetly beside him. Nearly fifteen minutes left by Annisa, Dul begins to wonder. Moreover, some people began to realize that Annisa did not appear.

“Call Mbak Nisa, Mas. Let's eat together. Girls who eat it later, will be embarrassed and look great if they want to add. There.” Mima nudged the arm of Dul who was standing next to him.

Dul nodded and went towards the terrace.

“At his house Dul, Pa …. Dinner with his family. Complete. There's Akung and his Uti too. There's the Om, the tantenya.Papa, how, that's it, anyway? Icha at Dul's house because Icha's family doesn't exist in this town. How's monopoly? Why is Papa so weird now? It's not just this once that Icha came to Dul's house. His mother also often love this Icha-it. They're good families who never think about our messy family. Why go everywhere? It has nothing to do with dinner at Dul's house with Icha who forgot his own family. Papa makes Icha no appetite. Icha close now.”

Dul turned his steps back to the restaurant. He understood that what Annisa had just said should not be heard.
