"Welcome back Aceh, home sweet home." Rani said after setting foot in the airport of Sultan Iskandar Muda.
After more than 6 months following PPG in Surabaya, they finally returned to the land of birth. Still with the Son of a comrade-in-arms and also the district with him.
"We didn't pick it up? Sad." said Rani to her friend.
"Lebay, sir, a lot of cabs to choose." Putra pointed to the taxi driver.
"We're going straight home or what?"
"We'll eat near the terminal first, hungry."
"Okay, pick a taxi first yok."
The distance from the airport to the terminal is approximately 30 minutes. The airport is located in the provincial capital, while Rani and Putra come from districts with a distance of approximately 6 hours from the provincial capital.
After arriving in front of the bus terminal, they chose to eat at a stall, not far from the terminal.
"Eh, there's a message from the gang." Said Rani who just opened her HP.
"Yes, I'll go back, let them calm down." Putra Saying.
While eating, they reply to messages from friends.
"Bang Andi don't mean elo dah sampe?" Ask Son.
"Some, I'll return this."
After the message, they resumed eating. Rani's phone rings back.
Rani_
"Hallo, assalamualaikum."
BM_
"Walaikumsalam, where's the deck? So come home today."
Rani_
"So, it's been until Aceh, but it hasn't reached the village."
BM_
"Cong you tell me? Let brother pick me up."
Rani_
"No, there are friends too."
BM_
"Where now?"
Rani_
"You're leaving again."
BM_
"So can't see our dong?"
Rani_
"When you want to see me, my brother is impressed."
BM_
"You can meet before you go."
Rani_
"Well, we're leaving too."
BM_
"Yes, be careful, say brother, if you've been there."
Rani_
"okay."
BM_
"Assalamualaik."
Rani_
"Getishalam."
Tuttttt
"Who?"
"Introduction on Facebook."
"Meeting?"
"Hehehehe, yes."
"Which person?"
"Hadoehhh, I feel introgated, yes Mr. Son who is honorable, Banda Acehnese, handsome if I see the photo, but the original does not know."
"Bang Andi knows?"
"Tau, I've fallen into the language, which is for sure if he wants to see me, please go home, if not already, by..by..."
"Good if you do that, I think it's just the same bang Andi aja loe it."
"No, all the men I want to get close to have to be ready for my house."
"Hehehe."
"Well, we're not ABG's kids anymore, we're going to meet men on the street, not funny."
"Keep that brother seriously how?"
"Nahhh, that too I am confused, but we have not met, who knows when I see he does not like."
"How about the opposite?"
"Entar I thought, hahahha."
After an endless debate, it was time for them to board a bus that would take them to their respective courtyards.
"Magrib is like this." Rani said on the bus.
"Yes, call the house people to pick me up." Adam Say.
"Later about to call me, my house is not far from the road."
After a few minutes of driving, they chose to sleep during the trip.
Right at 6 pm Rani first arrived, Rani was picked up by her second sister named Rey. Putra continued his journey for about 30 minutes.
"Put, I'll tell you first, I'll call you by day." Rani said as she got off the bus.
"okay."
They finally separated, Rani immediately approached Rey who was waiting in front of the stop.
"There's a by-by brother?" Ask Rey.
"Ihhhh.h just came home instead of asking news instead of asking for souvenirs."
"Ngapain asked the news, the person was in front of the eyes, if it did not look new asked the news."
"Well my dear Rey, oh yeah, what cook?"
"Spicy sour boiler."
"Not a shrimp allergy, want satay, have not eaten satay for a long time."
"Where doesn't anyone sell satay?"
"There is, but it is different, there sate madura, satay padang there is also, but this satay typical of our region, there is no other area, SATE MATANG."
"Seek money, let me buy."
"Yes, wait for home."
Rani arrived at her house greeted by her sister, father and mother, aunt and aunt who were their neighbors.
Relieving tired by lying down for a while it feels quite comfortable for Rani after previously bathing and praying magrib.
"Den, so buy satay?" Ask Rey
"So, dong say, the money's in the bag."
"How much?"
"50 is just."
Rani is three brothers, all three girls. Only the second sister is a little different, Rey looks tomboyish, with short hair, she is also a school in SMK who mostly majors for boys. "Rey" itself a call given by his SMK friends.
He also never called Rani as a sister. "Deni" that's what she calls Rani. Each of them has a suffix of almost the same name, Rani, Raida and the youngest Raisa.
After being satisfied with satay talking back in front of the tv, his father and mother were also there while watching tv. Rey also joined there, only the sibungsu Raisa is not present, because she is in the njai place.
"So how's that soldier, so he's here?" Suddenly Rani's father asked about Andi. Rani thought her father had forgotten about Andi.
"Don't know Dad, want to go to education again he said." Answer Rani.
"Have the ring been returned?"
"Udah Yah."
"You guys ever see you again?"
"Yes, in Bandung. He came to the wedding personnel happened to be married to Rani's friend."
"Why didn't he come here? To Bandung he can, to Aceh why can't he?"
"Don't know yah."
"Basically he's not the same intention as you, don't wait for him anymore, men don't just him."
"Yes Well."
There is no waiting between them, because basically Rani herself has no relationship with other people. If there are other men who come to propose, Rani refused because she was still waiting for Andi, of course, it can only be called 'waiting'.
It's 10 p.m...
"Sister, where's the souvenir?" Ask Raisa who just came home from school.
"out." Rani answered, who is now lying in the room, while her sister and mother are unpacking the contents of the suitcase outside.
Tink....
Rani's phone ringing.
Rani_
"Hallo. Assalamualaikum."
Andi_
"Walaikumsalam, how's the deck?"
Rani_
"Alhamdulillah well, brother where is this?"
Andi_
"Diastra, what else?"
Rani_

Andi_
"Would you wait for my brother to finish his education?"
Rani_

Andi_
"Udah first yes, brother wants to rest, tired of training."

Tuttt....
After hanging up the phone from Andi, Rani who misses her friends opens her fb account. Some of his campus friends are online, while friends who are one location 3T used to be nothing online.
While planning to close out of the account, suddenly there is a chat coming in.
📲 BM
"Well? Not sleeping?"
📲 Rani
"Plan to sleep."
📲 BM
"What time is it?"
📲 Rani
"Hour 6, what's the big brother?"
📲 BM
"For coffee, brother plans to go there, but brother has never been there, about his house far from the terminal?"
📲 Rani
"Rumah Rani is near the state road, it's not hard to hear, when do you want to come here?"
📲 BM
"Not yet, brother looking for a friend first who about know the area there, so do not stray later until there, already yes, brother wants to go home, later brother call."
📲 Rani
"OKAY.
-----------------------------
Flash back on...
BM is an acquaintance of Rani on Facebook. The beginning of the second story is when Rani is following PPG. At that time he was enjoying a Sunday night by surfing in cyberspace, precisely on facebook. There are some friend requests coming in. One of them is from Baruna Berskel. Rani who was not working at that time immediately accepted the friend request.
For some reason, after receiving a friend request, Baruna Berskel account that was online made Rani idly say hello in the chat room. Tampa allegedly owned the account turned out to reply to the chat and continued. The account turned out to be a business account directly managed by the owner.
After a while, the account sent a message.
📲 Baruna Workshop
"Again send a friend request using your personal account, accepted huh?"
📲 Rani
"Yes." Yeah."
After a few minutes after Rani received a friend request from a personal account called BM. A chat came in and like most other cases. BM did not get acquaintance and Rani also retaliated just because at that time Rani was still with Andi.
Rani who was initially lazy to serve a further acquaintance invitation because when they asked each year of birth made the courage of Rani shrivel. Due to the year of birth of the account owner who is 9 years from the year of Rani's birth.
This makes Rani who is still half-minded ABG suspicious of the account owner.
"Don't these men, or widows, or iiiiiiii." Rani muttered.
"Loe, look at the picture first." Said Mela who was near him at the time.
"The photo is okay, but not real?" Answer Rani.
After looking further at the photos of the account owner, Rani just responded to the chat from the account owner. I don't know what confidence Rani has until she dares to give her mobile number to the owner of the account.
A few days later there was a new number entered into Hp Rani.
Rani_
"Hallo, assalamualaikun, who is it?"
×××××××_
"This is the brother who last night asked for no in adek difb."
Rani_
"Baruna Workshop?"
×××××××_
"Yes, save it? What else?"
Rani_
"Just out lunch break, yes already bang yes, the break time is not long, Rani wants to eat first."
××××××_
"Yes, assalamualaikun."
Rani_
"Getishalam."
After ending the conversation, Rani then changed xxxxxx to BM. Yes it was a shortcut from the caller. The man's name is Masriz, because he is 9 years older than Rani so Rani called bang Mas which is abbreviated as BM.
The flash back....
-------------------
The fate of girls living in the village, is always the talk of parents who lack work other than asking "when to marry?".
Moreover, every attended the wedding party in the village, always aja questions it out of mothers who feel themselves are old. And for mothers whose daughters want to marry, of course proudly tell about their children or prospective daughters-in-law.
And every wedding party in the village, at that time Rani and her mother were involved in a debate. His mother always forced Rani to come to the party and even bought gifts so that Rani came with the excuse "When you marry no one comes."
Like today, from morning her mother was busy telling Rani to go one of their relatives' parties. With laziness Rani went complete with gifts that had been purchased by her mother.
"Later there don't sit down, help what can." Said her mother before Rani left.
The wedding party in the village is still tight with the attitude of cutong royang helping others in any celebration tampa need to be asked by the host.
While enjoying the party, precisely seeing people pacing back and forth is not clear in front of the guarantee, the sound of messages goes into Rani's phone.
