The Elbow of Life
get together and meet my mom after all these years

I got my phone ringing on the table I saw

a message came in from Gina

'' where do we meet ?

I said yes, I'll pick you up in front of our SPM school ,

a message again 'well👌'

I took the keys to the motorbike and said goodbye to my mother who was at the side shop

'' my mother left first yes to pick up my friend '

'' okay, heart on the road

'' ma'am, I'm just a minute'

after saying goodbye to me my motor gas passed the road fortunately today I have finished my work and not to the city

this time I decided to work from home

I saw from afar a brightly dressed woman sitting on the bench waiting for my old school vehicle

'' Hae Gina ''

Gina was dumb looking at me calling her

I opened the helmet and smiled and then he stood up

'' ah it turns out you Anna sorry I still forgot the color of your bike

he said while riding a motorcycle

' yes, this is your helmet, prioritize safety

I said while giving her a helmet

before leaving we decided to go to Aira's house first we wanted to give her a surprise

while on the road Gina asked me to stop at a cake figure she said

'' it's not nice if we visit Aira's house without bringing anything ''

we chose chocolate brownies

tok tok assalamualaikum '' I knocked on the door of Aira's house

'' waalaikumsalam' is like the voice of his mother Aira

and my guess is right

'' auntie, Aira is home?

'' there he was again washing clothes inside ''

we were invited in while Aunt went outside she said she wanted to go to the stall for a while

when we entered the kitchen WC

in the kitchen we saw Aira washing her clothes when she saw us standing in front of the entrance she said

'' Anna, Gina when you came I didn't listen to your footsteps !

his confused face when he saw us was so funny that it made me laugh and not Anna my name if I didn't get ahold of Aira

'' Anna stopped laughing at Aira, '' Gina told me

'' ah already Gina let him be happy by teasing me when will I reply ''

'' yes, the end of your face is very funny, I replied to him

'' yes laugh as much as you do, come on Gina please sit down and do not pay attention to him

'' yes, I admit I'm wrong I'm sorry I said to Aira as she dudu beside her

'' both of you have stopped, rebuked Aira to us

'' This aira we brought cake said Gina

Aira served us a cup of tea and served the cake that we had down and she asked permission to finish her work for a while

I chatted with Gina while waiting for Aira to finish

after a few minutes Aira joined us

Gina tells the story of the school , friends she knew at her former school place

I reminded him of how we lost a friend we loved back then but where else it all had to happen

because Gina's father at that time got a job outside the area

'' Gina did you see what changes happened to Anna

said Aira while glancing at me

'' yes she has changed a lot now her face is more beautiful than before''

'' ha! so you used to bully me, I was joking with Gina

'' yes Looking at the evidence like that you used to be not as fashionable as now ''

bela Gina won't lose to me

'' haha! what other changes have you seen from both of us? while pointing towards me Aira asked with a serious look

'' you guys it changed not only her pretty face but I see Anna also no longer count if she wants to snack . I still remember when SPM used to choose to bring supplies from home so that the pocket money is not used

while all these cakes he paid ''

gina told Aira

'' Yep right then that I said Anna who used to be not the one who is now anymore said Aira

'' what do you mean? Aira

'' now she has her own clothing store and her own mother bren ''

'' oh so so '', now my best friend is already his boss ''

while pinching my cheek Gina said

' ease I become a big boss someday 'but for my character it's still a small character really ''

I'm looking at you with a smile

' yes, but surely this time we have to celebrate our meeting, said Aira

we decided to ask permission to go to my house after Aira's mother came we planned to have fun at the beach while enjoying the afternoon

I suggested that I just go home to tell mom but Gina wanted to meet my mom because she hadn't seen mom for a long time because she didn't want to let my Gina down

I went home with Gina while Aira was waiting for us at home

'' assalamualaikum''

Gina gave her greetings when she entered but it seemed like my mother was in the shop next door because no one answered our greetings

'' Gina let's go next door first Mother must be there''

gina looks confused to see me pull her to meet my mother, right the last time she came here dad hasn't built a shophouse where mom sewed

'' assalamualaikum'

waalaikumsalam'' said the neighbors who are working

'' eh Anna son must be looking for mom again huh?''

'' yes aunt mom no ?''

askaku returned

'' yes he is inside the boy ''

we went in and saw that mom was packing clothes that would be sent to the characters tomorrow

I hugged mom from behind she wasn't surprised because I knew I was the only one who used to hug her like that

" Anna you're back sorry mom didn't hear you "

" yes ma'am my voice has run out yelling at mom at home turns out mom is here "

mom turned around and pinched my darling arm

" you're a habit once your voice is gone, you won't have any friends to argue with again "

" mom try to see who's coming what mom recognizes her "

mom looked towards Gina and started looking at her while making her face tick

" like his mother knows wait a minute if mother is not wrong this is son Gina "

" a hundred for mommy wow it turns out that the memory of sharp mother also yes"

I said with a little loud tone

we were all laughing while the workers looked at us
