Among the Million Love
Chapter 7 ~Stupid? Oh, No!

My phone on the table is shaking, though,

"Hello, ma'am assalamualaikum."

Tumben Mama called at my work hour - My inner self said.

"Waalaikumsalam, honey have you eaten, son?" Mom's voice across the line.

Huh huh? Tumben mama asked like this?

"Mama why?" I asked, yes I felt strange. Mom called just wanted to ask if I had eaten or not?

Uhhh, far from the usual attitude of mama.. What's up, huh?

"Just ask me, oh, what time are you coming home, baby?" Ask Mama again.

Heyiiihhhh?

My mother doesn't usually ask for my return. My mom knew when I was leaving or coming home.

Oh yeah, what did mom say? the babe?

Oh, wrestling Rabbi. Well, it looks like there's a shrimp in the bakwan nih, not usually mama says this softly to me.

"As usual, Ma." My answer.

"Go home, huh? Don't drop by. " Say again, again,

"Yes, Dysa went straight home to Ma."

Where else would you go if you didn't go home? I added in my heart.

"Okey, bye dear."

"Bye, Ma."

My time has come and my job has been replaced by another doctor.

"Oh yeah, I have to see Bella first." Remembering the boy's words this afternoon.

Walking into her room, knocking on Bella's door and opening it. Seen as a child lying on top of his safe, the girl who had my eyes was awake. He who was watching cartoons on television turned to look at me and developed his smile.

"Doctor Dysa." Her spirit called my name slowly.

I was surprised by the figure of a man sleeping on the sofa near the entrance with a half-body position dangling to the floor.

"Papa Bella sleeps?" I spoke without a sound, just showing my hand. Bella nodded.

Not wanting to disturb the tired-looking father, my feet were walking very slowly without any sound approaching Bella's bed.

"Pa's love, huh?" Whisper Bella to me.

"Where is Mama Bella?" I turned around to ask.

"Mama Bella is dead, Doctor." Answer Bella relax. I was surprised by the answer of this child, while I still remember his mother's face when Bella was last treated in this hospital.

"I'm sorry Doctor Dysa? Is Bella sad?" I, who was sitting next to Bella, asked very quietly.

"No. He said, Mama is no longer sick and happy in heaven. Mama's waiting for us." Bella.

Really, for what my heart is glad to hear that sentence. How steadfast this little boy, grateful I was still given a longer time to live with Mama Papa.

Bella who then rose from her position I immediately grabbed her body.

"Doctor, Bella's tooth is broken. Can it grow back?" Bella asked me, she showed me two of her serrated teeth that were half broken.

"Why did you break half?" My toot.

"It was a motorcycle accident with Papa. Bella's tooth hit the road, Doctor." Definitely Bella.

I shuddered in horror at the thought of it, it must have hurt a lot for a boy his age.

"Let's grow again. Don't eat a lot of chocolate and candy." My advice, Bella nodded.

"Bella?" A raucous voice surprised me and Bella, it turns out Bella's father had woken up from his sleep.

"Mother doctor?" The man flinched. His seemingly messy appearance, as much as possible normalized his situation. Then the father of Bella walked to the bathroom.

"Hihihi, Papa is shy, Doctor. Papa must have taken a bath there, hehehe." Said Bella who made me also chuckle amused with the words of this innocent boy.

"Yes, the doctor came home first. See you tomorrow." I kissed the boy's head and hugged him for a moment and walked out of Bella's room.

......................

Parked a car in my garage, grabbed my bag, and checked my phone. There were missed calls from mama over 20 calls. The silent-mode phone made me forget my mother's order to go straight home, and now it is certain that my mother will grumble me all out.

"God, help me.."

The condition of the house that looks lonely, not a single person flashed before my eyes.

Where's Mama?

Where's Papa?

Lah, where the hell is it?

I who felt the atmosphere of the house so quiet then shouted twisting in the basement.

"Assynolajet. Ma's... Mama! Where's mama? Sorry, Ma. Dysa met the last patient. Mama please don't be mad, don't omelin Dysa. Soon old, you know. Ma!" I said, I turned my steps to find Mama's whereabouts. And when looking to the right, precisely in the living room, it turns out there.....

"Oh, I'm sorry." I bowed, ashamed that there was a guest there.

Oh my God 😱 I'm ashamed, uhhhh...

Closing my eyes tight and walking gracefully towards my room, trying not to be nervous to restore my image and self as a woman in general.

Inside the room, I dropped down on my bed, throwing my bag in any direction. And grab my own hair, though,

"Bad, bad, bad! Oh, stupid me. Woe, swear!!!"

The door opened, my mother approached.

"Ma, sorry Ma. Not me..."

"Quick change your clothes, it's been waiting for." Mama interrupted my words.

I think using a dress with a length below the knee of Mama's choice, he also protected my perfume with millions of twisting seprotan in my body.

"Enough, Ma. It doesn't even smell good, it stings."

"Shut up!" Sergey Mama.

Mama pulled my arm, on the stairs back mama whispered to me.

"Due to attitude, don't be brutal. Understood?"

"Yes Mama, I thought Dysa was a thug? Hehe.." My answer.

Mama directs my seat between Mama and Papa, confronting a couple the same age as Mama Papa and a young man in the middle, just like me.

I hope this is not my match, my mind says.

"Ehem!" The man's guest was determined.

"Son, Dysa. As we told Mama and Papa Nak Dysa, we came here to edit Dysa's son to be the wife of Edwin, our eldest son." Said this middle-aged man before me.

"Huh? Mama..."Mama immediately stepped on my feet, suddenly my mouth closed again because of enduring the pain.

This must have been mama, making a bet on me.

"How about, son Dysa?"

I who felt faint to answer, turned to look at Mama and Papa alternately. Papa seemed to know my feelings, but not with Mama. My mom even said,

"Come, baby. Do not hesitate to answer,"

"Yes, don't hesitate. Even if Dysa takes time and wants to get to know Edwin further, it's fine. Just say it, son." Mama Edwin's soft words.

"Darling?" Mama squeezed my fingers.

"Generic, hemm. Dysa had earlier apologized to Auntie, Om, and Edwin. Dysa thought Dysa needed time to get to know Edwin. Please understand." Reply carefully.

"Ohh, hohoho.. It's okay, son. No need to be afraid, obviously you have to know each other first. Uncle's wrong for bringing the proposal too fast. Yes yes yes, please wake up your chemistry first." Said Edwin's father.

"Hem, thank you for understanding, Om." Add me.

Silent....

"Oh, let's eat this potluck banquet. Sorry, it's too simple." Papa as always, always down.

It's ten o'clock at night, the body is tired from going home to work even more because of the arrival of the guest application.

"Huahh." I yawned, stretched my other hand shut my mouth.

Suddenly my mother came and passed by my side.

"Eihhh, girls can't yawn like that." Reproved mama.

"Sorry, Ma. Abis Dysa is very sleepy. Mama, Dysa has said that Dysa does not want to be betrothed. Dysa wants to find Dysa's own life partner." My speech.

She got closer and ended up sitting on the same sofa.

"If you want that, show it to Mama. Who's the guy you're close to, where'd he bring it here? You don't really have a boyfriend, do you? Gebetan? Fidgety-cheman? No one wants to be with you if it's not Mama who is a match for you." Ketus Mom.

"Ishhh, Mama said very spicy indeed the same child himself. No one wants to be the same Dysa? Dysa has a boyfriend. Dysa just doesn't want to know Mama."

I said no less quickly than my mom.

"Teroozzzzzt night!" Mama rounded her mouth.

"Akhhh, what a bad mama???!" I screamed as Mama passed by carrying a dirty glass dish.

"What the hell? What's up?" Ask papa.

"Tuh, Pa. Mama's a habit, ask Dysa to get married quickly. The Dysa road is long. Dysa didn't give anything to Mama Papa. But, Mama has asked her daughter-in-law to Dysa." Go to Papa.

"Sussst, don't fuck that ah. Her beauty is gone. Sleep, it's night. Tomorrow morning or noon?" But Papa understands me better than Mama.

~uhh, mama if you ask me to marry like a boy asking for candy!

"Tomorrow to leave at noon, Pa." My answer.

"Here, now rest first." Papa said and then kissed my forehead. I followed and walked into my room.

In the room, I slammed my tired body into my sweet, fragrant soft bed. As if this body fatigue paid cash if it was attached to this spacious and comfortable object.

"What the hell, Mama. Married at will, I still have a lot of dreams and want to enjoy my youth without rules in the bond of marriage." Dumalku before finally closing his eyes and sleeping.
