The Midnight Radio
Episode 43

"Oxu's? Yankee?"

Someone shook my shoulders and rubbed my head gently. However, the cold air made me close the blanket even more.

"Yuk's body first?"

I frowned and thought that the voice of Bang Win I heard was just a dream.

"Inoxu Aisyah Princess!"

I sat down and stared in a daze in all directions.

"The body was there. Abis it's sorted out, we go back to Bandung." Bang Win looked at me with an amused smile.

Without saying anything, I got up to the room to get a towel, then walked towards the bathroom located in the back.

"Xu's? You up?" greet Gia at the kitchen door.

"Huh, where's Adul? How can't you look?" manya curious.

"So, sleep in the room. Udah mendingan her, but still kliyengan severely rich young pregnant women," kekeh Remi approached.

"Not yet aware of him?"

"A little bit more" Remi added.

We queued in front of the bathroom for a bath and ablution. After that, I walked to my room. Because many were praying in both rooms, I set foot back to the room used for broadcasting and performed the morning prayer right next to Adul who was sleeping. The wrong decision!

"Yahoo! There's planes!" she opened her eyes and looked at me. I held back the laughter as hard as I could.

"Aircraft parking now carelessly huh? It could be parked here!" the screams still look at me.

"Haha!" I'm failing. "Teh Hani, please take care of Adul first, disturb mulu," I said to Teh Hani who peeked into the room when he heard me laugh.

"Here you! How much amethyst do you eat until gini-rich behavior? Woi conscious, aware! We-we can get your mother's gebog if right home you are still rich gini!" gerutu Teh Hani while carrying Adul out of the room.

I went back to prayer and packed my things.

"If you've done it, will you know? I want to get in the luggage" said Bang Win from the doorway. After seeing me nod, he stepped forward.

All took royong to clean the villa after packing their respective goods. Adul himself looks much better after taking a shower.

"Who wants to go home first please, I am here first, want to meet with the villa manager," said Bang Win to others.

"Utep is also here first, let the car carry Ricky. Gia, Remi's with Hani in Utep's car, huh? Let Ricky come home later" said Kang Utep.

I waved at the others as soon as the car they were riding in started walking away from the villa.

"This is Adul how is it?" ask Kang Utep.

"Later ushered home first, all report to his mother." Bang Win turned his head towards Adul who had apparently fallen back asleep on the sofa.

After half an hour of waiting, the housekeeper came to pick up the key. "What a big sneak came home?"

"Yes, the conditions are not conducive" replied Kang Utep.

"Later the excess payment I transfer only?" continued the villa manager.

"Ngga need sir, just for Father," replied Bang Win.

"Please tell me that. Be careful on the road."

We nodded and entered the car. Adul who was still absent-minded sat in the middle passenger seat with Kang Utep. The journey home is faster than leaving. Within three hours, the car had gone off the highway and led to Adul's house.

"Win, what if Adul's mom is raging? This is the second time we can't handle Adul with unusual conditions" asked Kang Utep. I can catch the anxious tone in his voice.

"Well," replied Bang Win short.

I pounded as the car got closer to Adul's house. As soon as it stopped, it appeared that my mother was sweeping the courtyard.

"Yes Mak, it's right there aftershocks. So, out of fear, we're going to make it home sooner" I replied slowly.

"Mother," call Kang Utep. "This is Mak, there is Adul playing with the children there. Go home, Adul becomes dazed. He said residents, he was checked by Mak's amethyst, the same as Tatang," reported Kang Utep.

"Whose tea is coming?" ask my mother again.

"Young man there, Mak. Adul playing with teenagers there, he knew he was being fed with amethyst," I added.

"Astagfireullah! Where is Adul now?" mother asked, starting to get angry.

"It's still in the car," I replied timidly.

As fast as lightning, she walks towards the car and is seen trying to wake Adul up. Adul who was still in a daze shouted loudly when he saw his mother. "Please, there's a scarecrow!"

This made the mother more angry, he quickly pulled Adul down from the car and pulled him towards the small pond in front of the house containing freshwater fish.

Byurs!

I, Bang Win and Kang Utep were stunned to see the mother who pushed Adul into the pool.

"Mom!" Shouted Kang Utep in surprise. "Istigfar Mak, later mother's child why-why!"

"Teu nanaon! (That's okay!), this is mama," said the mother casually. "Emak used to also realize immediately fit dginiin with his grandmother Adul."

The three of us looked at each other.

"Sme!" yell Adul with clothes that have been soaked. Unbeknownst to me, my mother's neighbors had gathered in the courtyard and watched this show.

"Well! What did mom say? Realize right?" Mom chuckles.

"Alhamdulillah if Adul was conscious. We're saying yes, Mom? Sorry, we cannot take good care of Adul" said Bang Win slowly. It seems he was shocked to see the behavior of Adu's mother.

"Neverything, this is very wrong Adul. Come along to eat the amethyst. Makasi ya nganterin Adul go home," replied Mother.

Soon the three of us went straight back into the car and left Adul's house.

"By realizing what did Adul's mom say?" my many.

"Yo 'i. The power of Adul's mother used to be like that, too" Kekeh Kang Utep.

"Like mother like son (like a mother like that is also a child)," Bang Win continued slowly. "Except me (except me)."

I looked at him with a feeling I could not describe.

***

"See you tomorrow" exclaimed Kang Utep out of the car. He waved until our car left his yard.

"Aren't you comfortable with me?" ask Bang Win suddenly.

"Obsolutely normal. Why do you think rich?"

"Your expression was, '" he explained.

"Sad, anyway" I said softly and threw a glance at the side of the window.

"Because?"

"Make boys, mothers are their first love. For girls, fathers are their first love. Denger Bang Win said rich earlier made sad, rich what? Kaya Bang Win is so sick that it does not want to be equated with mama Bang Win," I explained.

"Indeed," he answered short. "I can actually be at peace with myself and accept everything. I hope my parents did the same. But the truth is not like that. They still keep their distance from me. I know it's because they feel guilty for what they did. But, for now, at least they can act normal to me. Think of it as a redeemer for everything they've ever done, instead of keeping my distance and making me feel like I don't have any parents."

I clasped one hand tightly to encourage him.

"So it's not too much if I say, I only have you, Oxu," he added, which made me instantly moved. "Just you."
