AT one o'clock in the afternoon, Vanya was't still busy taking off her socks, when Mami screamed from the attic.
"Auowooo! Vanyaaa, just hurry up. Why's it taking so long?" shouted Mami for the tenth time.
Vanya just calmly pulled off the left pink sock and put it in her shoe. Then he pulled on the right sock, the end of which was slightly torn, so that Vanya's thumbs appeared to be dancing happily. It's not that Vanya doesn't have better t-shirts, but Vanya really likes playing with her big toes before or after wearing shoes. That's why Vanya deliberately chose socks with a little hole in the end. And Vanya likes to be a little crazy about drawing faces with her thumbs. Sometimes he looks like Papi, sometimes he looks like Mami, sometimes he looks like Vienna. Depends on who you hate at that time.
And currently Vanya is busy playing with her thumbs which are drawn to look like Mami.
"Vanyaaa..., hurry up! Don't make Mommy angry!"
Satisfied with playing with her big toes, Vanyaga put her socks into her shoes and got up to the refrigerator. Mami's screams, which were still calling, seemed to be ignored. Vanya pulled out the drink bottle and immediately took a sip from the bottle until it was finished. The air was really hot that day.
And Vanya still had time to brush two cold watermelons from the refrigerator, before finally being a little annoyed by Mami's call. Because this time Mami called him while banging all the pots. So the atmosphere is very busy.
"Vanyaa!" Mami screamed. Krompyang!
"Yes, Miii?" Vanya answered. Krompyang!
"Hurry up, bro!" Mami screamed again. Krompyang! .
"Just be patient, grandpa, Mi!" Vanya answered again. Krompyang!
Suddenly Mami was shocked. Vanya too. Apparently, when she answered earlier, Vanyaga also smashed all the pans on the plate rack. Afraid that Mami would get even more angry, and afraid that the situation would turn into something like the Gulf War, Vanyaga quickly ran up the stairs and approached Mami.
These few days Mami's behavior has been a bit strange. And Vanya was the one who got the sap. That's why Vanya is really annoyed. Yes, since Mami took an English course because her brother who is in Europe is coming next month, Mami has become crazy about playing scrabble (read: scrabble, right?). Mami's reason is to improve her English. And Vanya was having trouble because she was always asked to accompany Mami to play. Every time she comes home, Mami is already sitting sweetly in the attic next to Papi's room, ready with her skrebel. Then he forced Vanya to accompany him to play. If Vanya refuses, Mami will definitely get angry. Come on, who wouldn't be annoyed, tired after studying all day at schoVanya, and when they come home they are told to play screbel. Even though Vanya's intention was to go to sleep immediately, or listen to slow songs while lying in her room.
Actually, Vanyaga wasn't the only one who was miserable with Mami's new hobby. Papi also got the sap. After work, or at night when Mami's hobby is active, Papi is asked to be a co-star. Papi was forced to serve, even though he had sleepy eyes. Because if you refuse, Mami will hit you
And when she's feeling sulky, Mami likes to relate it to the Palestinian issue, eh, to problems from her previous relationship.
"Just so you know, there used to be a lot of people who fancied Mami, you know. But in the end you were trapped in choosing Papi, because Mami felt sorry for Papi. Eee, now I'm told to accompany you to play
just don't bother. What kind of man is this Papi? I don't have any gratitude," Mami grumbled, annoyed.
If that's the case, Papi just obeys without daring to protest.
"Never mind, Mi. Vanya's tired!" Vanya started to look too heavy when her screbel game reached eleven rhythms.
But Mami still looked enthusiastic, and of course rejected all requests for a ceasefire.
"Hold on, just a little more!" Mum avoided it.
Vanya, whose irritation had reached its peak, started playing crazy. The arrangement of his words started to become strange, which made Mami surprised.
"You're not mistaken, Vanyaga? As far as Mami knows, there's no word 'phytax' in English?" Mami thought doubtfully, when Vanya arbitrarily arranged the words on the skrebel game board.
"There is, Mi. Mami doesn't know," said Vanya, pretending to know.
"What does that mean, Vanya?"
"What this means is, if Mami pokes Mami's head, then it hurts, well, when the wound heals, then on Mami's head there will be something which in English is called 'phytax'."
"Ooo," Mami nodded dumbly.
The game continues again. As time went on, Vanyaga created more and more strange words. Such as "ngibrith", "benzol", and others.
Vanya kept looking for excuses so she could do it.
"Wow, yes, Mi. Vanya just remembered to visit Wina. The problem is that the child has a sore throat because he was too tired to brush his teeth yesterday. Now his mother is confused, Mi," said Vanya.
"Confused because Vienna picked up a brush?"
"No. I'm confused because Wina is her mother's favorite toothbrush. Now her mother doesn't know what to brush her teeth with." Vanya kept looking for reasons to stop the game.
Mami, who felt disturbed, because Vanya kept whining, couldn't do anything. "Yes, that's it. Go and see Wina. But you're going home to play skrebel again, right?" chase Mami away
"Okay, Mi!" said Vanya with a radiant face, and immediately cheered up.
***
Arriving at Vienna's house, Vanyaga was warmly welcomed with a pair of pink flip-flops that floated to her forehead.
"Why, what's the matter here?" Vanya screamed while stroking her benzene-covered forehead.
"Hey, I'm going to take your flip-flops home. I don't need them anymore!" Wina replied while giggling.
Vanya then joined in giggling, because she remembered that the flip-flops were a Valentine's gift to Vienna and now their shape was no longer odd. .
"It's a good thing you came, Vanya. I was lonely," said Wina as she lay her chubby body on the pillow. Vanya picked at the pizza on the table.
"Eh, Win, yesterday when I watched Bad Influence, I changed seats three times," said Vanya while sitting on the sofa.
Wina looked at Vanya and asked, "So what? A lot of naughty guys tease you?"
"Yes, in the end. After moving to the third seat," said Vanya calmly.
Wina thought for a moment, then laughed. "You're so flirtatious!"
Vanya laughed too.
"But, Win, I actually came here to ask for your help. I'm having a problem with my mother."
"What else is there, Vanya?"
"Look, Win, because of taking an English course, Mami is now a maniac for playing skrebel. Not during the day, not at night. I'm told to accompany you all the time. Isn't that annoying? I don't like playing skrebel less."
"Skrebel? Ooo, like. the one who likes to be on the street? 'Beware of Skrebel'?" Vienna asked innocently.
"That's 'Cable Digging', you idiot! It's a screbel in that game. It's the one that makes up the words in English."
"Ooo."
"Yes, that's how it is. Every day I'm told to accompany you all the time. I'm annoyed. Do you have any ideas to get rid of my mother's bad habits, Win?"
"No."
"Wow, think about it, grandpa," said Vanya annoyed.
"But what's the problem, anyway? It's nice to keep playing."
"The problem is, I don't like playing skrebel, Win."
Wina then rubbed her forehead as a sign that she was thinking hard.
"How about we buy you a pacifier as a replacement for your mom?"
"Your advice is not good."
"Or buy a congklak, a bekel ball, or something like that!"
"That kind of toy is no longer fashionable. Does Mum like it?"
"Or, what if you buy a Nintendo?"
"Nintendo Atmowiloto?"
"Hush, no! Hu, Nintendo is playing games, that's like a gamewatch but using a tip. That's modern," explained Wina.
"Oh, yes. It's fun too. If that's the case, I'd just like to play with Mami all day. Eh, but isn't it expensive, Win?"
"Yeah, it's expensive."
"Where do I get my money from? Instead of buying Mami a Nintendo, I'd better replace my roller skates."
Then the two children thought again.
"Eh, I have a suggestion, Vanya."
"What?" Vanya is excited.
"Look, you have to make Mami stop playing skrebel."
"The method ?"
"For example, when you and your mom are playing skrebel, you put the skrebel syllables in your armpits one by one. They smell really bad. Especially after you come home from school. So, when your mother puts the syllables on, she will feel disturbed by the seeds. "The letters suddenly start to smell. Or when he's alone fiddling with the skrebel, he'll feel disgusted because of the smell. Then your mother will give up. She doesn't want to hold the skrebel any more."
"Gosh, Win! That's a brilliant idea! I didn't expect you to be that smart!!!" Vanya screamed in amazement while pinching Vienna's cheeks.
They both jumped up and down with joy.
***
That day at two in the afternoon, Mami and Vanya were already hanging out in the attic playing skrebel. Vanya had hidden several unused letters carefully in her armpit. Mami, who still didn't understand the sour smell emitted by the huruphurup, still looked excited.
Vanya waited expectantly for Mami's reaction.
"Mami likes it because you often accompany Mami to play skrebel lately without complaining," said Mami while arranging the word "smart" on the skrebel board.
"Yes, Mi. Because Vanya thinks that skrebel can increase Vanya's English vocabulary," answered Vanya calmly.
"That's right, Vanya. Skrebel is really an educational game. Mami always gives you something educational, Vanya. So you can be smart," said her mother enthusiastically as she occasionally started to smell the hurup skrebel seeds, because she felt they had an unpleasant smell.
Vanya just glanced through her eyes. Then pretend to concentrate on the game.
Mami seemed increasingly busy sniffing the hurup seeds she was holding
"What's wrong, Mi?" Vanya tried to hide her laughter.
"Ah, no. Here, Mami's skrebel hurup seeds are starting to smell musty. Maybe they should be washed, huh?"
"Yes, Mi."
"Yes, that's it. Let's just stop for now. Mami wants to soak these seeds in boiling water to make them clean, so that the smell goes away," said Mami as she collected the skrebel seeds into a bag. Vanya got up while holding back laughter.
"Eh, Mi. Later, after being attacked, Vanyaga will borrow the skrebel again, okay? Vanya wants to practice in this room so she can beat Mami."
"Yes."
Mami looks excited to see Vanya interested in skrebel.
And all that night, Vanyaga was busy stuffing under her arm all the grains that Mami had washed this afternoon. Hihihi, tomorrow morning Mami will definitely smell bad again.
And that's right. When Vanya came home in the afternoon, Mami didn't seem to want to touch her skrebel seeds at all. He was really sick of the smell. He grumbled and grumbled, "How come the toys you buy so expensively don't last. Just washed them, they already smell like perfume."
Vanya giggled in the room. He's very satisfied.
***
A week later, Vanyaga suddenly appeared again at Vienna's house with a face full of pain. He fell on the sofa.
"Hey, kunyuk, where have you been just now?" Wina greeted less than friendly at the door of the room. But Vanya said nothing.
"Arrogant, yes, now. I rarely come here to play. I don't want to answer the phone either."
"It's not like that, Win. I'm having a problem, here."
"What other problem? Has your mother not recovered from her illness yet?"
Vanya didn't answer immediately. But take a deep breath first, before finally speaking.
"Mami's problem has been resolved, Win. Doi is tired of playing skrebel anymore."
"So what?"
"You can help me again, right?"
"Yeah, what?" .
"How do you get rid of your addiction to holding something in your armpit?"
Vienna stared.
Then fell limp on the couch.
