Part Seventeen

The following month on Sunday, I came again to the sister's house. This time I met their mother

"Good afternoon aunty" I greeted

"Good afternoon" Mom replied

"Are Ade and Bella there?" I asked

"They are in the park, they say they want to refresh" replied the mother

"By the way, who are you Bella and Ade?" mother is curious

"I'm sorry auntie, my name is Aditya usually called Adit, I go to school with Bella and playmate Ade" I explained

"Oh, come on, come on in." mom let me in

"Yes aunty" I said politely

"Please have a seat" Mom ordered

"Yes aunty" I said slowly

"What do you want to drink?" ask mom

"Just water, auntie" I replied politely

"Wait a minute auntie get it" said the mother

"Yes aunty" I said smiling

Mother puts a glass of water on the table

"please drink" offered mother

"yes aunty" I took a glass of water and drank a little and then put it back on the table.

Mom started interviewing me

"By the way, Adit likes to come here?" ask mom

"Yes aunty, I like to come here sometimes" I repeated

"then you already have a girlfriend" said mother

"I don't have a girlfriend aunty" I said

"But the crush has already been made?" tease mom

"eh, hey yes aunty" I'm nervous

(Girlfriend doesn't have one yet but the crush already exists and the crush is the mother's son's brother)

"Son Adit how many siblings?" ask mom

"I'm the only child, auntie" I answered

mom nods her head

"Sorry aunty, actually I came here to invite auntie, Bella and Ade to my papa's birthday, the event is next Saturday" my info

"Oyah! Congratulations then" mother congratulated

"Thank you aunty" Adit replied

"if there are no obstacles later aunt and the children will come to your father's birthday" said mother

"yes aunty hopefully there are no obstacles" I hope

"By the way, what's your dad's name?" mom wants to know I haven't had time to say his name yet.

The brothers and sisters have come screaming

"Eh, it looks like you're home, how is it refreshing in the park?" asked the mother

"It's really fun mom" said the sister

"Yes Ade" asked the sister

"Yes, Mother, it was really fun there was a monkey mask act, then there was a Pokémon doll that was really big, then there was Otobot who was having a fight with the Decepticon, then there were teletubbies hugging each other, then..." The brother's chatter stopped when the younger brother heard a clear clearing sound and the younger brother looked at the sound

"Bro Adit!" exclaimed the brother then run to me and hug me

"Bro, how come you've only come now?" asked the brother

"I miss you brother" the little brother is spoiled

"he..he..he, sorry Ade, brother is busy practicing futsal soon there will be a selection for the acceptance of prospective national level futsal players, I pray that you can pass the selection" I said

"Amen" they answered in unison

"Oh, yes, brother, I almost forgot, next Saturday you guys come to the house, papa brother's birthday" I said to my brothers and sisters

"Oh, yes, congratulations, we will definitely come, by the way, what do you want as a gift?" ask the sister

"You don't have to bring gifts, you just come, papa is already happy," I objected

Not long after, I asked permission to go home.

Mother invited me to have dinner with them but I politely refused on the grounds that the people at home were already waiting at home afraid they would worry

(I still remember the curfew my stepfather gave me)
