Alya had just parked her motorbike, the sound of the horn startling her
" A Pandu?"
Scout out the front door, followed by the door that opens from behind
" Mama?"
Alya kisses mom's hand and Pandu's hand
" Just got home from college?"
The palanquin embraces Alya's shoulders
" Yes, I didn't say I was coming?"
" Suddenly"
Mama answered briefly but very clearly sounded unusual in Alya's ears.
" Come on in"
Alya held the hand of the mother to invite in but the mother refused
" We'll just walk Al".
Alya looked at Pandu with a confused look
" Mama ngajakin we street de" As if answering a question in Alya's heart
" Yes, Alya said goodbye to friends first yes".
Alya entered briefly into her boarding house, with half-running she was already back with mom and Pandu. The three of them entered the car.
Alya is still confused, what is this suddenly walking, no news first.
Their car stopped at a Japanese restaurant. Pandu came out and opened the door for Mama and Alya. They walked to the door and from the right side there was a large table and there were 3 people. Alya trembled as mom took her to the big dining table
" Welcome, dear"
Aunt Risma greeted him by kissing Alya's right and left cheeks, Alya still with her tension. Approach a man who is older than his father, but the carrying face still leaves his good looks at a young age. Alya kissed the man's hand
" Assalamualaikum om Hadi"
" Waalaikum greetings Alya, how? healthy?"
Alya nodded
" Alhamdulillah healthy om".
Alya then looked at one other person.
Approaching the young man and shaking his hand
" A to Kevin"
" Alya"
Both are silent.
" Self, Mba Siska, come sit down"
In front of the table they have served Japanese food, there are Sukiyaki, Yakisoba and Sop Miso
" Let's eat first".
Mama and Ka Pandu took the bowl that was in front of them, while Alya felt very stiff to move her hands. Aunt Risma saw that Alya was still silent and immediately took the bowl and began to take Yakisoba
" Said Kevin Alya likes to eat this, similar to fried noodles ya baby, hehe"
Alya just smiled, remembering that once Kevin took her to this restaurant, Alya who is confused does not know what to order because he has never been to a Japanese menu restaurant just whisper and ask to order fried noodles only. At that time Kevin laughed, if you just want to eat fried noodles, we go back to Alya's kost, is not Alya story that the kitchen cabinet must have a stock of fried noodles, fried noodles, so that at night his stomach is hungry there is a stomach blocker. Kevin ordered Yakisoba for him. Yakisoba is a Japanese fried noodle dish with noodles, cabbage, vegetables and meat, plus a seasoning of uster sauce or yakisoba sauce. Although named yakisoba (fried buckwheat), yakisoba uses cooked steamed noodles from wheat flour similar to ramen, and not soba made like fried noodles. Although not too similar, at least still in class with noodles, and Alya enjoyed it at that time.
Alya glanced at Kevin, the menu I ate you told me about?
The six of them began to enjoy the dishes available, without words, increasingly felt creepy for Alya.
For 15 minutes without any chatter, occasionally there was only the sound of aunt Risma and Om Hadi to invite them to add more, of course the reply was a subtle rejection from mama and Pandu.
" Alya wasn't finished, was he eating?"
" Alya ate at the college earlier aunt"
Alya replied lying, where can eat in this atmosphere
" I'm sorry de Siska, Pandu, Alya, we invited all of a sudden. This we do so that our children's problems can be straightened out, even though the problem of solving it will return to them"
Aunt Risma started to open the chat.
Huupp, rightly my guess, will definitely discuss our relationship, pitting let alone ka Kevin
" It's okay mba Risma, than we are not nice to each other in the back, it's better all we find this to be clear"
Mama followed connecting.
Aunt Risma looked at Alya who was now sitting beside her
" Alya, can you tell us the same story, why did Alya ask that this excellent relationship end?".
Alya lowered her head, the tone of Aunt Risma's voice was very soft, but it was like she was clawing her entire body. Alya tried to be strong, staring at Kevin for a while who was also staring at him
" Alya, Kevin didn't tell us anything, last night he asked his aunt why she didn't meet you, auntie, he replied from now until one month in the future you cut off communication in any form first. Aunt asked what is it? he didn't answer he said Alya wanted it"
Aunt Risma explained for a moment after seeing Alya's cold gaze like she wanted to shower her son with annoyance.
Alya raised her face, I can't be weak, this is my life.
" Previous Alya om, aunt. We used to promise to learn to love each other, but the more Alya still can't come to love Ka Kevin, Alya just doesn't want this to waste our time, ka Kevin is well deserving of a companion that is much more everything than Alya"
Silence, this time Om Hadi spoke
" Alya, we have been very happy and happy to hear that your relationship has improved, we also knew at the beginning Alya did not care about Kevin at all, but lately Kevin has always told me about your daily cuteness, and the relationship has been better, why suddenly Alya can say this can not be continued? And Kevin deserves better is wrong, we see Alya is good so Kevin must learn better so he deserves you"
Deeerr, what the hell is this? I am this slengean called already deserved and precisely Kevin who must learn again? what is Kevin's story about my behavior? The lie please don't miss you.
" I'm sorry om, Alya is very grateful to Ka Kevin so far sincerely take care of Alya, shuttle, accompany the streets, eat even for the care and appearance of Alya ka Kevin so considerate, so considerate, Alya is also comfortable with all the kindness of Kevin but Alya really can't love him yet".
If I'm not lying, it's really.
" If you're comfortable, then go ahead, why should it be decided? All will go well Alya, comfortable it is the beginning of other good feelings, other good and happy things will follow"
Alya can only be bowed, where might I say that in fact I already have a lover. Alya looked at mom and Kevin who had just been a loyal listener.
" Alya, Kevin didn't force you to love him now did he? Kevin told us we'd be patient, and he'd keep trying to make you happy, you could still give him time for that, right?"
Alya went deeper with her silence, why does everyone justify Kevin? I feel cornered, can anyone help me?
" Alya, Kevin said you guys want to break for a month, well, we can't go any further in this, but we really hope that during this part you will feel a sense of loss, feelings of longing, feelings of need, until later you will be able to realize that in fact you are already in love with each other"
The mother who had been silent from the beginning finally spoke
" I'm sorry our son mba, mas. But I think it might be better if they break first, right said mba earlier, later they will feel the feeling that they actually need each other. Let them cut off their communication first, who knows in the future this will be better".
Alya did not finish thinking, he said earlier did not interfere further, this is how now they decide for this relationship to break first. It is better for you to interfere in our relationship but not decide the outcome, than not to interfere but the decision is in you too, smart-ass at the beginning but stifling at the end. But in the state of the gospel it seems you are encouraging attitude yes, yes meddling yes deciding. Can what I am??
Mama, Pandu and Alya say goodbye first because they will stay at the Pandu house tonight, tomorrow will be picked up by papah. Mama and Alya ended up staying at Pandu's house that night. And it is very predictable what happened that night at the Pandu house.
After dinner at Pandu's house with a home menu because Pandu's wife began to get pregnant young and did not like snacks outside, then be a white rice menu with fried fish, oseng-oseng knew tempeh and chickpeas and crackers became the dinner. Mama sat on the sofa in front of the television, Pandu helped his wife clean the dining table and wash dirty dishes, while Alya like the defendant sat on the other side of the sofa but still in front of the television as well.
" Alya, my mom asked. Actually not loving Kevin is not the main reason, right?"
Alya could already guess where this direction of speaking was
" I think your relationship with Kevin all this time that you've heard is getting better, you're getting closer, you're going to school on the shuttle, you're given a new bike, you know, you're getting better, gifts even for self-care all Kevin can give, and it will be good, mama does not want to talk about anything else that could damage this relationship yesterday-yesterday. And it looks like you've already accepted Kevin. Mama didn't expect Alya you decided at a time like this"
" Ma, Alya's been fighting mama all this time? no. kan. Alya ever ask for anything other than pocket money with mom? didn't you?. For this one thing please ma, Alya asked to allow Alya to make her own choice"
Mama looked at Alya who was begging her
" This time Alya lied to mom"
" No ma, Alya never lies, mama never asks"
" Mommy didn't ask because it looks like you've been very good and your relationship with Kevin looks more serious"
Alya bowed limp, yes ma Alya it seems to have accepted Kevin, but not his feelings, why am I also stupid like this, is it true Arga said I used Kevin?.
" Why are you still in contact with Afkar?"
" Alya love".
Silent.
Pandu and his wife came, sitting on the sofa the other part of them, but did not dare to comment.
" What do you expect from Afkar?"
" Ka Afkar will apply for Alya after we graduate college"
" How's his family?"
Mama looked hard at Alya
" You don't know Alya at all?"
Mom was getting angry at Alya's reply.
" Why do mama always corner ka Afkar? he's very kind ma, always makes Alya happy"
" Mommy doesn't corner Afkar, you'll never tell your friends apart as long as they're kind and sincere about taking care of you. It's different Alya, it's about the future"
" The future is not in our hands"
" It's not, but now you're in two choices, and this choice is ahead of us and the difference is too far Alya"
" The life of ka Afkar is much better ma"
" It's much better, but it's still too good Kevin's life now"
" But Ka Afkar tried it himself ma, not with the help of parents, the result of his own sweat"
" Alya, why do you want to be with someone who is trying from 0 while you still have a choice with someone who is already established"
" We will be proud and satisfied later ma".
Mama flanged
" You don't bothered with that, son, fighting is hard, this is Alya's life, which all we need to buy with money-shaped material"
" Ka Afkar has a job ma, if mama does not want Alya also work, ka Afkar can meet Alya's needs"
" Alya, the life of the company owner and ordinary workers in the company is different, papah used to be a staff once in PHK Alya, fortunately mama also works, mama can take over the family's economic responsibilities, mama who works day and night must open a practice to be able to meet our needs, mama can not tell how tired mama for it, lucky papah not a person who is discouraged, but she can not tell how tired she is, papah continued to try and finally accepted in the company now until he occupied the position now. Mama doesn't want your experience to repeat itself Alya. Since childhood, we have had enough of your needs, although we are not rich but we are not lacking, you are accustomed to whatever you need we immediately meet it as long as we can still do it. Alya's weight for you if you have to fight as well, now that the zaman is different, we might be able to get through it patiently and well, but you?"
" If you can get through it well, why are you worried about Alya?"
" You're used to living a comfortable life for Alya"
" Ka Afkar was responsible ma, he used to be okay working as an OB, which is important halal, and now he has worked in the company, he said, he also already has a motorbike and just took home ma"
" That's what mom said, Alya's weight accompanied from 0. If you have no other choice and your age is very much requires you to marry mama will not mind this, but you have other options Alya"
" Alya understood ma, so Alya eliminated that choice now so that Ka Afkar could be accepted"
" His pity you decided it was too late Alya"
" Ma, this is Alya's life"
Alya held back her tears
" Because it's Alya's life, and we're your parents, son, we really care about you. We're also familiar with Kevin and his family, we feel safe that Alya can marry him"
Alya could no longer answer mama, actually so much was on her mind, but could not get out of her mouth.
" Our many considerations Alya, we don't want to make you sad at all, we just open your mind to see what's best for you"
Alya just nodded
" Can you come back with Kevin baby?"
Alya looked at mama
" Don't you just decide we've been breaking for a month?"
Mama is surprised Alya is getting bolder now, and the answer is as if to blame mama
" Yes, okay. It's half 10, tomorrow morning Ka Pandu will take you to campus, and tomorrow papah will pick up mama. Let's take a break first"
Mama kissed Alya's forehead and headed towards the guest room to rest
Alya had not moved and was still lying down and the living room sofa, even though it was 10 pm, Kevin sat next to him
" Dee, try to think again mama's talk"
" Free ka, Alya even more sick every time he heard the words of his mother, Alya sad because he always humbled ka Afkar"
" It's not degrading, but it's true, you're the one who blindly loves Afkar"
" Alya is not blind, Ka Afkar is indeed very good, and indeed Alya can not tell which part makes Alya so loving her, because all just look at it from the material side, alya looked from the heart"
" De, sometimes we have to listen to something from the eyes of others, because it could be right now our eyes are covered in fog, rich lo now. Yes, go in the room, accompany mom, I want to rest first".
Pandu stood up and patted his sister's shoulder which even more enjoy lying down and squatting feet on the edge of the sofa. Why also these parents have to meet me with Kevin like this, it seems I as a person who will be in court. Ka Kevin didn't tell me why I decided because Ka Afkar, good, smart enough he knows how to respect women.
Alya took the phone from her bag, since it was picked up half forcefully by Pandu and mama this afternoon Alya had not touched her phone for fear of being wrong again in the eyes of mama.
