365 Days Towards Halal

74# Ta'aruf?

"What's his name Jang?" Ask Andra's father, trying to open a conversation with Son. Because he saw the Queen's indifferent attitude to the man sitting next to the child.

"Son Om,"

"Oh yes, my son. Where do you work?"

"I'm a Lecturer Om,"

"Wow, Lecturer! Pinter dong you yes. But it looks young. How old are you?" Ask Andra's father again.

Queen glanced at Andra's father who continued to interrogate the Son. Then, he glanced at Mother who looks enthusiastic with the Son.

"I'm thirty-five years old Om. Well, I'm not very smart Om, it's just, good luck led me to become a teacher at the University."

"Thirty-five years old, but his face is the same age as the Queen, yes" Mother Tweeted.

"Mother, does Queen look old?"

Suddenly the mood became clumsy.

"Ah, no. You mean you're still like the twenty-five year old Queen." Mother used her words.

"Indeed Queen is thirty years old huh?"

Queen glanced at Son and smiled with a forced.

"No, forty years!" Queen with a hostile face.

The son smiled wryly, he felt very interested in the girl.

"Queenis..." Tegur Bunda while glancing at the Son and nodded awkwardly.

"Where does queen work?" Ask the Son excitedly.

"Ganggur," said Queen while continuing to devour her food without even glancing at the Son.

"No. Aunty's son has a business. Boutique and Hotel." Mother tried to answer the question of the Son answered carelessly by the Queen.

"Oh so..." Putra Sahut.

"Bun, the Queen is there first, yes" Queen said as she moved from her seat.

"Where are you going?" Ask the Mother with a confused face.

"Washing dishes, just finished eating" Queen said with an indifferent face.

Mother swallowed her saliva, she felt bad for the Son who continued to look at the Queen and saw the Queen's disrespectful behavior.

From the top of the guarantee, Tika saw Queen who moved from her seat while carrying a dirty plate.

"Well, what else is a child." Mumbled Tika.

Queen placed the dirty dishes in the dirty dish basket carried by the janitor at the event. While walking, he looked around the event and saw the Son who was following him. Suddenly Queen felt like she was near a debt collector.

"Oh my God..." The Queen complained that immediately rushed back to Father and Mother's table.

The Queen walked, as if she had not seen the Son who was walking towards her.

"Queen," Call the Son in a familiar manner.

Queen pretended not to hear the call from the man.

"Queen," the son confronted Queen and smiled at the girl.

Queen raised her face and looked at the Son closely.

The guy's pretty interesting. He has a clean white skin. Dimples and eyelashes are the main attraction on his face. His perfectly pointed nose and sparkling eyes looked so dazzling. However, not in the eyes of the Queen. Perhaps, he was also fed up with getting to know new people in his life. So, Queen felt no matter how handsome the man was.

"You're single, right? Do you want ta'aruf with me?" Ask the Son without speaking before.

"Well!" The Queen's mouth gaped and looked at the man with a face of disbelief.

"Yes, ta'aruf. I am looking for a future wife" said Putra, smilingly showing off her dimples.

"Duh, don't be. My behavior is not good. Lazy and...."

"I can lead you.." Cut Son.

Queen was silent, she looked at the man closely. Just this time there was a man who was so desperate to say he would marry himself in the first 20 minutes after the introduction.

"Don't baperrrr, don't baperrrrr...." Inner Queen.

"Sorry, I'm not a blind man." Said the Queen while smiling knots and rising from before the Son.

The son laughed while looking back. He looked at Queen who was walking hurriedly towards her parents' table.

"Bun, go home yuk."

"Why?" Ask Mommy with a wrinkle on her forehead.

"Just go home, the matter must have reached Jakarta in the afternoon. Queen's leaving tonight." Said Queen trying to convince Mother. In fact, he felt uncomfortable with the man named son.

Queen looked at the two eyes of Mother who contained the intent.

"It's normal" said Queen, grabbing her handbag on the table.

"Let's Dad..." Said the Queen who saw her Father who was still sitting comfortably.

"Yeah, come..." Father said while glaring at his smile.

They say goodbye to Tika, Tika who does not know why the Queen is so hasty was holding the Queen's hand tightly.

"Lu why? How in a hurry?"

"Sorry Tik, I'm flying to the Maldives tonight."

"Well!! You said it was busy, but you could have a vacation! How the hell are you," Tika pulled Queen to the corner of the stage.

"Lu why the hell? Broken heart?" Tika asked with a serious looking face.

Queen sighed and turned to look at Tika's husband who seemed to be wondering because his wife who was always pacing back and forth was not clear to go here and there.

"Later I'll tell you, pity your husband Tik...!"

"You really are...!"

"Yes, I'll call you via Skype."

"Seriously, if you lie constipated you seven days and seven nights!" Threat Tika.

"Gawur lu ah..! Yes, I promise you," whispered Queen.

"Yes, be careful on the road. Uh, what son? What kind of vibration isn't there?"

"Shut up! Back there!" Said Queen with an annoyed face.

Tika laughed amusedly and returned to sitting in the lap.

Queen smiled and waved her hand. Then, he and his parents left the building.

From the corner of the room, the Son looked at Queen with his amazed gaze. He really felt in love at first sight to the Queen. The girl who was just introduced by her sister-in-law, Tika.

"I should be able to be her husband." The inner son continued to look at Queen and her parents until the family disappeared from his sight.

...

Queen drives her car at a moderate speed. Next to Queen, Dad sat down while enjoying the view of the bustling streets of Bandung smoothly. While at the back, Mommy looks start to be sleepy but still trying to open her eyes. Because Mother does not want to fall asleep in a state still wearing her kebaya clothes.

"Arghhh, you know, Mother brought a negligee to change clothes." Complain Mother.

Queen glanced at Mother from the rearview mirror in her car.

"You want to go shopping Bun?"

Instantly, Mother who heard the word 'shopping' also, immediately put on sparkling eyes.

"Who paid?" Ask Mommy.

"Dad," Queen glanced at Father.

Father was flabbergasted and looked at Queen in disbelief.

"Asikkkk!" Excite Mother while clapping her hands.

"Can tuh, Mommy bought a new negligee. It can be changed as well. Let's sleep on the road to Jakarta" Queen said.

"But how did you become a paid father?"

"Yes Dad has a lot of money" Queen smiled broadly.

"Well, I'm, Dad's the victim again."

"All dong, Queen wants to buy Dad's shoes....." Queen glanced at Father with a clear face.

Dad took a deep breath, then he shook his head.

"Do you know where to buy cheap here?" Ask Mommy.

"Know dong Bun, I was with Antoni........"

The Queen stopped her words.

Memories along with Antoni are too much in the city of Bandung. Antoni is where he leans as he feels heartbroken because of Sky who cheated on him with his best friend.

Father and Mother were silent, as well as Queen. The three of them were silent. Until the car, Queen stopped at one of the special department stores to buy various kinds of souvenirs typical of Bandung.

"We've arrived" Queen said, releasing her seatbelt.

Father and Mother followed Queen who was about to get out of the car. Before Father and Mother came out, they looked at each other. Look of sadness in Mother's eyes, and I understand that.
