Tell a Story About Us
part 3

(✿◕‿◕✿)

Exams have been completed, long holidays have also passed Bina. Bina went around, looking around. After a long journey, Bina and her family arrived at their destination city. His father's friend who was also a guest a month ago came to the house, was also here. Tisa's mother and aunt, they were also looking around, while the men were moving Bina's belongings, into the boarding house.

"Move here tea?" The woman who accidentally walked past Bina, greeted.

"Yes tea," Bina nodded politely in reply.

Many students pass by here, because this is also a strategic boarding house close to the campus. Although a bit of an alley, this hostel is close to a number of cafes, and places to eat. School is also not too far from here. Although the hostel is mixed, this hostel is very safe with certain closing hours.

It seems like Bina is now ready to live more independently, living without the help of her parents. During this time Bina did do everything alone except home affairs. He never asked his parents for much, like most children. He accepts only what they give, never asks for anything.

When Bina was just entering elementary school, her family's economy plummeted. Bina, who was still a child, whined to ask for a toy, but her parents could not afford it. Bina went on a hunger strike, too. Eventually, Lilis, the mother, owed one of their neighbors a debt. And a month later, the neighbor came to Bina's house, took a debt to her mother, the way was rude, the man almost hit her mother, if her mother did not avoid. From there Bina never demanded anything from her parents, and they also always gave what Bina needed, without Bina asking.

"Where is the atmosphere?" the question was thrown from Tina, the woman who was now behind him, smiling gently.

Bina turned. "Adem aunt, nice cool," he replied, returning a smile.

"It's like it's always cold, isn't it?" Lilis followed, approaching them, with Apin who was always a henchman, carrying him.

"Yes adem continues, often it rains too. But now it's rare." Tina Yoke.

"Bin, it's done, you want to see?" The sound came from behind.

The three women of different generations looked behind them. Seen in front of the door of Bina's room stood three men looking at them. It seems they have just finished their task. Kardi's father Bina, waving her hand, asked them to approach her. The three women walked over.

"It's neat, isn't it?" Ask Bina, when she was in front of her father.

"Udah is all right. Yes Gi" answered Kardi, looking at the young man behind her. Irgi nodded, not responding excessively.

"Surely," asked Bina sanctions, looking slightly at the door that was half covered by a teenager, who was leaning his body on the side of the door, with a forehead full of sweat. Bina frowned her forehead shrinking. 'No look, move aside napa'.

"Look at Bin, look at yourself pretentiously," another man of his father's age, softly advised.

Bina followed his advice. His feet entered the boarding house that he would stay for the next three years. When passing through the door, the teenage boy who had been leaning beside the door, shifted his body, so that Bina passed easily.

"Sok, come in" he said. Bina glanced at the young man, nodding politely.

Bina looked around. First entering this boarding house, Bina was greeted with an empty room that only had a character carpet that she had brought from her home, still in a rolled up state in the corner, of course that was the thought of the mother, the mother, who was, he said 'later to eat, time on the floor that has no base. And then your friends will also play at home, they sit where' so. Maybe this will work later.

In front of him, which is still one room with this empty space, there is a kitchen. There were three dishes, three pairs of spoons and forks, three pairs of chopsticks, and three cups, there was also a set of pans and pairs, a small pot, and other kitchen utensils. This is definitely her mother's idea.

Switch to the one door in the center to the right of the room. Bina opened it, this is her room, there is a mattress and also a closet that has been provided in this boarding house, some Bina goods and her suitcase. To the left of the room is another door, this is the bathroom. Bina entered it, she nodded, the bathroom was clean and fragrant. Must be the owner of the boarding house cleaning it before it is occupied by tenants.

"Where? Neat right? Be neat for sure." The father of jumawa.

"Obviously, there are still many building items that must be finished again, kitchen equipment is also not in order"

"So, don't appreciate the struggles of parents." Cardi crossed her arms in front of her chest, thrusting her head to the right, not looking at Bina.

"They are people." Bina also crossed her arms following the father.

"Building is not fun, not cuaks." Okay, the cuaks are starting.

"Dih," replied Bina.

"You'll help me settle again, same Irgi, Gi?" Andi replied, nudging his son's shoulder. The young man grumbled a little.

"Do not om, Bina will settle itself," said Bina politely, lowering his folded hands.

"How come I'll practice interaction with my in-laws."

"Do not build it yourself." Bina smiled awkwardly.

"Yahh Bina mah ngak cuaks." Andi crossed her arms around her chest, following her friend.

Bina gawked at the incident 'kok.... Oh pantes his victory is very durable' at first Bina confused why people as cool as Andi is willing to be friends with his father who is super cuaks, it turns out same cuaks too anyway. Now Bina was no longer surprised by this. On the other hand, Irgi stared in disdain at his papa.

"Dad you want to stay here tonight?" Tanya Bina diverted her attention from the two human cuaks.

"Mother wants to but I don't have Apin Bin's equipment" Lilis said.

"Jude, no papa."

After talking, going around and helping to clean up Bina's belongings, Kardi and Lilis and Apin who were in her arms, now stood in front of the door of Bina's boarding house. The clock is at 3pm, the sun is already in the west, waiting to sink. Because it requires a fairly time-consuming trip, have not faced traffic jams and so on, the three of them decided to go home.

"Father same old mother, take good care of yourself. Even if you're a strong, independent woman" Kardi stroked the top of her daughter's head sincerely. It was moved not to think that his little daughter, who he always carried everywhere, showed it to the neighbors. She is now grown up and has her own thoughts, independent, and grows up to be a good girl.

"If there's anything directly contact mom, okay," now Lilis the mother approaches Bina, hugging her gently. Maybe he won't be able to meet Bina in a few months.

Bina hugged her mother back, "yes Bina promised." That tight hug if he could, he wouldn't let go. He still needs his mother for a long time, until whenever no one can replace him.

Apin seemed to be chattering, swinging his hand towards Bina. Bina received her speech, turning to hold the sister in her arms. It seems that their little man understands what is going on here.

"Jagain Bina yah Gi, if there's anything call om." Kardi held onto the shoulders of the young man who was silently watching, looking at her expectantly. Irgi, the young man returned an enormous expectant gaze, pointing at him.

"I'll try om" Irgi lowered his head, unable to look too long into the shining eyes that seemed to drown him in. There are too many hopes there, the hope for Irgi is so heavy. Hope that might not be able to fulfill Irgi.

"We keep it calm." Andi patted Kardi's shoulder.

"Thank you" Kardi replied to her friend's applause.

The car that carried three humans that were very valuable to Bina, now left it. Bina stood behind the front fence of the boarding house still staring at the departure of her father's car.

"Bin set again yuk, no papa itung-itung Exercise for independent living, well." Tina patted Bina on the shoulder, when the car that Bina noticed disappeared in the corner. Smiling warmly.

"Yes aunty," Bina nodded, following Tina over the other items.

"Ma, come home and you have work, you need mama too." Andi.

"This time Bina will settle it alone, papa himself alone," Tina shook her head.

"Need mama, this is the same problem restaurant, the restaurant is in the name of mama."

"How's the "build? Time left, it's not quite right yet."

Bina shook her head, "gapapa aunty Bina can be alone." Not good either.

"Don't dong this much, how will you get sick?"

'Lebay anyway, but God is so good this man.' Bina shook her head again, opening her mouth to say no need.

"There's Irgi, yes Gi later help Bina." Andi said quickly, interrupting Bina. He seemed to be in a hurry, it seemed like a serious problem.

The young man named Irgi who was behind Andi, gasped when his name was called. Looking at his father as if asking.

"You're here first, help Bina clean up, no business, right? Papa if mama has business, stay first, papa will pick up if you take time, if not perfect, you take the ojek." Andi put his wife on his shoulder to put her in the car.

The two teenagers were staring at the car that had just left the yard. They looked to the side staring at each other simultaneously, for a while in the same position. Aware of looking at each other, they quickly turned their eyes, together as well.

"I cleaned up first, sister," Bina turned her body into her hostel. Intend to clean the kitchen first that looks very messy.

"You, why accept this match," the voice came from the door. The sound of footsteps began to approach. Bina looked up, seen Irgi take the pot from the cardboard, intending to help Bina.

"I.... Don't know," Bina turned around again, continuing her work. About that question, he also did not know what the answer was. His dad just said he should try, that's all. If he refuses, it's okay too, right? It's the will of her parents, but Kardi says everything still remains in Bina's control.

Irgi walked over to Bina's side, putting the pot he had in his hand in there. "Papa says it's for the future, I don't know what the future is either." His voice was small, sounding like a murmur.

"The future is not clear how. Mother said that fate has been written neatly, we just choose which one, as long as it does not deviate it will all be beautiful." Bina.

"So you accepted this match for that reason?" Irgi looked at Bina.

Bina flanged, "because mom's dad." Said Bina staring at Irgi. "I also don't want to be fooled, but said mother, just go for it first." Bina smiled. He had all thought. Right said the mother all arranged, neatly written.

Irgi looked at Bina who was now continuing her work. "I have a boyfriend."
