Kenapa

It is four o’clock in the afternoon. The kitchen is quiet.

Sekarang jam empat sore. Dapur sunyi.

There is no more bread on the plate.

Tidak ada lagi roti di piring.

Nina puts her key on the table.

Nina menaruh kuncinya di meja.

“Why?” she says.

“Kenapa?” katanya.

Grandma looks at the key.

Nenek melihat kunci itu.

“Why what?”

“Kenapa apa?”

“Why all this? A note? An envelope? A blue door?”

“Kenapa semua ini? Catatan? Amplop? Pintu biru?”

“It is a good door.”

“Itu pintu yang bagus.”

“There are a lot of blue doors, Grandma! No! No! No!”

“Ada banyak pintu biru, Nenek! Tidak! Tidak! Tidak!”

“Yes.”

“Ya.”

“You have a phone! You can say: Nina, come to the hotel.”

“Nenek punya ponsel! Nenek bisa bilang: Nina, datang ke hotel.”

“Yes,” Grandma says. “I can say that.”

“Ya,” kata Nenek. “Nenek bisa bilang itu.”

Nina stands up. She shouts.

Nina berdiri. Dia berteriak.
