-O-
“Sok Bin, sit down first.” Tina said as Bina just stepped into her house.
Tina's family home is so quiet for some reason, especially on a holiday like this. It felt lonely to know where the people who live in this house, there was only Tina who Bina saw when she entered this house. This was the umpteenth time he had been invited to come to visit this family.
“Again on exiting Bin, Irgi's papa has a job outside the city. Irgi last night wanted to work a group, but aunt already pesen kok asked to go home before dinner.” Tina came from the direction of the kitchen after leaving Bina earlier, in her hand there was a tray containing drinks.
Bina just nods a smile, “Tante alone dong?”
“Iya, same Irgi doang, but only two days Irgi's papa there, so no papa.” Tina smilingly looked at Bina, putting a drink on the table. “Sok to drink first.” Her speech.
“Tante have cooked?” Bina asked, putting the glass down after drinking it.
“No, aunty does not cook, aunt buys, later the food will be snapped again. More males cook.” Tina smiled jokingly at Bina.
Bina simply nodded her head smiling in response. The conversation just kept flowing. Fortunately this Tina was a very good type of mother, and understood how the young child should be, so yes Bina was also not as awkward as she was when she first came. Binaasa, Tina could have been a pleasant friend to him. In addition to their connecting chat, Bina can also get new knowledge from the woman.
“Assalamualaikum.”
The greeting made Bina and Tina look up, greeting them together. The door opened, a young man with a brown shirt and a school bag on his back walked into the house. The young man approached Tina, taking the woman's hand to be crucified.
“Where is Gi?” Tina slapped her son's arm.
“From the house of Revelation ma, group work, it was already said.” Irgi answered softly.
“Malem home.” Upset Tina, this was already almost into dinner time, and the young man had just returned home.
“Sorry. To the room first ma, want to clean-up.” Irgi leaves, entering the brown door, after getting a nod from Tina.
Bina just kept quiet to see the interaction of both mother and child. The young man also passed through Bina without saying hello or even just looking at her for a while. Remembering the day before their quarrel, Bina so did not know what to do with the young man later in front of Tina. Although never issued a word if in front of the parents, but there was still Andi who would melt the atmosphere, while Tina herself was not a chatty woman who asked a lot. Will their dinner this time be quiet.
Soon Tina got up from her seat, saying goodbye to take food, after hearing the bell ringing several times. Said to Bina to prepare the dishes for their menangan.
Bina was wiping the dishes they would use to eat, when this young man named Irgi started to appear, in a changed suit, in a house shirt. Without a word, the young man took a cloth from Bina's hand, wiping the remaining plates. Bina was silent, not knowing what to respond. The young man was also silent, doing the work he had stolen from Bina.
Quiet long enough, because confused to do what, finally Bina's brain works. He started taking new laps and wiping away the spoons and forks, which were not even on the lap yet. Their stupidity makes Bina awkward, lonely once it feels. Their debate a day ago, made Bina herself so unwilling to meet the young man before her. But the invitation from Tina could not be avoided just like that. The woman will justify any means she wants to visit their home, and with that she and this young man will meet.
Bina was surprised when the spoons in her hand, were taken for granted by this young man beside her. Bina saw that the dishes had been wiped clean by Irgi, maybe this young man would help him. But can not take a spoon that is not in the hands of Bina. Ignoring him, with a slight annoyance, Bina took the spoon she had not yet wiped. But before long the spoon was back seized by Irgi. Please, how angry is an Irgi, anything captured, anything it cannot do, annoying. Bina took a new spoon, when she just wanted to wipe it, it was seized again.
Stomping his feet, “ck, brother why the hell?” Decak Building.
Irgi just silently did not respond to Bina, the young man focused on wiping the remaining spoons. Ignoring Bina who was now resentfully slamming the field in her hand onto the dining table, sitting herself on the dining table chair, away from her. Then silent, again they were both silent, Irgi with his work, while Bina with his annoyance.
“Seafood here, Bina likes it?” Tina's voice instantly broke the silence between them.
“Like aunt.” Bina changed into a happy smile. Besides them well, this time Bina also likes to be invited to their house to eat, because she will definitely eat well. Understandably the boarding boy seems to be the most luxurious to eat chicken meat, which once cooked he can eat for days. But not good is to meet with Irgi, especially after their debate.
Tina picked up one of the large plates that Irgi had wiped clean. Put some seafood in there. After that sprinkle the fried onion jar that the woman took from the refrigerator. Then the three of them sat down, starting to eat their food.
“This Bin, lobster is delicious.” Tina thrust one of the sea animals at Bina.
“Iya aunty,” Bina received it, smiling happily. How not happy to eat seafood for free, happy tongue, happy heart. Since living here Bina rarely eat luxury, if this family does not invite him to eat.
Irgi just silently accepted it, the young man put a lot of fried onions on his plate. Then eat it in silence. The young man was silent and did not respond to the occasional chat out of Tina or Bina.
“Irgi tuh really like the same fried onion loh Bin, if not prohibited, will be consumed all tau fried onion the same as him." Tina. Bina just nodded her head.
“This Bina why not eat udangnya, whereas aunt bought an exra shrimp loh, yummy.” Tina brews the shrimp, she wants to put it in Bina's plate.
Before that, Bina held the woman's hand. “ Build shrimp allergy aunt.” Speak Quickly.
“Oalah, sorry well. It's a pity Bin, even though aunty thinks you'll like the air, it's nice." Tina put on a guilty look.
“Iya not papa aunt,” said Bina smiled.
“Eh Bina, want to see? Stay up again at night sunday.” Tina opened her voice when they had already cleaned their food.
Bina looked up her head staring at the woman before her. “Neighbor.” Saying Bina, awkward. He glanced at the young man behind him, who was still sitting quietly.
“Ngak papa, later paid Irgi.” Tina said, looking at her son.
Bina shakes fast, “no aunt, no need.”
“Loh no papa.” Tina placed the dirty dishes on the sink, walked over to Irgi, patted the young man's shoulder slowly. “Taken Gi, Watch it. Night time week.”
Tina's words managed to make Irgi look up, looking at the woman. “Yaudah, come.” He said, but not a single glance at Bina.
Hearing that tone of approval, Bina panicked. “No, no need. Fear of ngrepotin too.” He said, not what he would be confused what if the two with the young man. He does not want to be trapped in an awkward atmosphere that makes him uncomfortable later.
“Udah, no papa Bina. Sana Irgi change clothes. Let mama do the dishes.” Tina's words were immediately obeyed by the young man. Irgi walks leave them to change clothes maybe.
“Later aunt alone dong.” Bina said, still trying to find an excuse to not just be alone with the young man.
“No papa, aunt already big, dare.” Tina Goyun. The woman walked towards the sink, washing their dishes.
“I'm here, aunty mein ya.” Please Bina does not want to be in a state and the atmosphere is not good later, because she has guessed how they are just the two of them. Lord Bina does not want to be put in such a situation.
“There.” Tina gently pushed Bina's shoulder away from her. Bina shook her head, showing a repulsive look, but the voice behind her interrupted them.
“Ayo.” The young man was ready with a brown shirt, but the model was different from the first time Bina saw when the young man had just entered the house.
“Tuh is ready. There.”
Bina only resigned when pushed back by Tina. The woman did not push him hard, but still could make Bina, closer to Irgi, until he hit the young man. Fortunately, he did not fall because Irgi's hand held him down. Bina walked back silently as she realized her position with Irgi now. The perpetrator just smiled.
“Pamit first mah.” Irgi shook Tina's hand, then turned to Bina who was just sitting in her place. “Ayo.” Bring along.
Bina half-heartedly, join Tina's hand. Makes the woman giggle amusedly look at him. Please, Bina retract her words about this woman who is so good.
“Pamit aunt.” Said Bina, then walked following Irgi, after saying his greetings.
