The Delayed Love
It's not that easy
Tio has finished repairing all the furniture in the house and rearranging the place to be better.
"That's so good, ask Mommy Lusi to make some orange ice ah!" Tio walked forward and wanted to make orange ice.
"Ice orange broth one huh?" pinta Tio sat on a plastic chair.
"Yes Mas Tio, a minute? Still serving customers first." said Lusi with a smile.
After waiting for a few minutes, Tio's iced orange so.
"It's Mas Tio, monggo is drunk."
Tio took iced oranges and 3 fried foods and then brought inside while watching television.
Tio had not watched television for a long time like during the day like this. In the past during his work in palm oil, Tio never once watched television and was busy playing with his friends or serving his in-laws shop.
Now he is free to do whatever he wants.
Tio took the remote and changed - change chanel. "There's nothing good at this hour! What's good?" muttered Tio sat on a chair while opening a long unopened sosmed account.
Opening his sosmed account, Tio searches for the account of his ex-girlfriend Feni and sees it active 2 hours ago.
"This where? How come Feni's more beautiful after so many years without seeing each other?"
Then Tio scroll some Feni caption which turned out to be in Hong Kong as TKW.
"It turns out you're not in the village anymore, Fen? Though, it was my intention to meet you because I couldn't forget you just like that." Tio's monologue to herself.
"Well, what can I do!"
"Hayo, who's day like this?" Bu Nani surprises Tio who is imagining her meeting with Feni.
"Hummer, just ngagetin!" shocked Tio and immediately sat down to make room for his mother.
Bu Nani simply smiled in response and sat down beside Tio.
"What do you think of Tio, seriously?" Bu Nani asked and looked at Tio's face.
"It's a Buk, think of the ex! Kira - what is she doing?" tio replied with a big laugh.
"If you're going to meet Tio. Where's she going?" ask Bu Nani again.
"He works in Hong Kong Buk as TKW." - Tio.
"Oh TKW."
"Oh oh the Buk! Answer what so cake!" tio's protest because his mother's answer was so short on and clear.
Bu Nani just laughed loudly at his son's attitude and Tio remained unchanged from before with his nosy but sometimes annoying attitude.
"Yes, it's lunch time. Surely you are hungry, right after repairing and cleaning the furniture earlier" said Bu Nani rubbed Tio's head as well as invite her son to eat.
"Yes Buk, Tio is hungry."
Tio and Bu Nani stood up and headed for the kitchen together.
"Wah Tio, your mother's kitchen is a fox huh? Mom is getting happy and looking neat. All this time has not changed because Vino is busy school and playing." replied Bu Nani smiling happily.
"It's good that I'm happy."
The mother and son had lunch together. Don't forget Bu Nani brought lunch for Lusi too. "This is Lus, eat first? You must be exhausted because from earlier you were busy standing to serve the buyer." pinta Bu Nani on Lusi because mumpung no one has come to the stall.
"Alright Mom, Luci just eat inside."
Bu Nani also replaced Lusi guard the shop while waiting for buyers to come. The day is already noon and many people are not yet time to rest. Usually the farmers will stop by the stall for lunch.
The clock shows at 12 p.m. The workers have started to arrive and Tio helps his mother so that she does not feel her merchandise runs out.
"Alhamdulilah," said the three at the same time.
"Assallamualaikum, Buk Vino came home." said Vino.
"Waallaikumsalam," answered the three from the kitchen.
Vino as usual, went straight to the bathroom after putting the shoes on the shoe rack and bag on the chair.
"Oh, Lusi's coming home?" pamit Lusi after putting all the items in the kitchen.
"Thank you, Lus, for helping. Tomorrow don't forget to come early." said Bu Nani.
"Yes Buk, I'm sorry to go home first. Mas Tio mari." said Lusi farewell to Tio as well.
"Yes, Susie."
After Lusi's death, Vino came out of the bathroom and into the kitchen where his mother arranged the dishes and containers on the tool rack that had been washed by Tio.
"Vin's school lunch. There's still pecel left, will you?" bargain Bu Nani on the youngest child.
"Yes, I want a Buk, I happen to be hungry."
Vino took a plate and put rice, vegetable kale then seasoning pecel then devoured the food.
"This is Vin's iced orange. The air today is hot enough." Tio poked some orange ice to quench his sister's thirst after school.
"False Mas Tio. Know that I'm thirsty." Vino laughed with a row of white teeth.
Tio smiled and immediately walked towards his room to lay down his tired body.
Bu Nani accompanies Vino to a meal while drinking his orange ice.

1 Month has passed since Tio's return from Riau.
At home for a month, make Tio become whiter and handsome. In fact, the neighbors have heard that reportedly Tio is now a cool widower in his village. Many girls come to the stalls and glance at the charm of Tio while helping her mother sell.
"Mas Tio, text message 2 huh?" Nina placed an order directly on Tio who happened to be wrapping up the order of another buyer waiting on the seat.
"Well, a minute?"
Lusi and Bu Nani are almost overwhelmed when Tio doesn't help him. Because, the stall is getting crowded and becomes a blessing for Bu Nani in his old age.
Before long, a flirtatious young widow came to Bu Nani's stall.
"Mas Tioo?" Reni called out to Tio standing at the side with a slight inclination of her chest for Tio to be charmed by her.
Tio who saw it slightly shuddered in horror when there was such a flirtatious widow in his village.
"Mas Tio didn't really come out?" it was Goda Reni who held onto Tio's arm while rubbing it.
Tio revealed a row of his teeth while releasing his arm from the flirtatious widow.
"What's wrong with Reni?"
"I'd like to order a word, Mas, and ask for her phone number?" goda Reni again who was still holding Tio's arm many times that missed.
Some people who saw some who were silent, some even held back laughter to see Tio's behavior teased by the flirtatious widow.
Bu Nani and Lusi are just a whimper - a head gnaw sees the flirtatious widow's action. But still serve buyers who have been queuing up from earlier.
"Yes Ma'am can, Tio briefly grab a cell phone in his pants pocket."
Tio immediately gave his number to the flirtatious widow and Reni recorded it on her phone directly.
