At the Crossroads of Love

67. Still Can't

Gatra came out of his room, down to his parents' living room. His intention was to rest there while waiting for the afternoon, for him to take Ara home to his apartment.

It turns out that his father was already in the room, Sukma's father had just returned from his office. Deliberately came home early knowing his son-in-law had come today.

''Is the clock at home?'' Gatra sat himself on the sofa in front of the sofa his father was sitting on. Their position faced without a restrictive table, only a thick carpet in the middle.

''Must dong!! my son-in-law came today. I can't wait to welcome Ara to be in the middle of our family.

Mother came from the kitchen carrying a cup of tea which of course for her beloved husband.

''Unfortunately Ara will not stay with us Well, noh son dad wants to monopolize his wife.'' The mother sat next to the father handing over the cup of tea he brought to Sukma's father.

It seems that father scrunched his forehead, even though he was sipping tea made by his beloved wife.

''lha Ara want to live where?'' dad put the teacup on the mini table next to the sofa he was sitting on, but his eyes stared intently at Gatra. As if to allege that Gatra was the source of the error of the mother's statement.

''Don't blame Gatra dong Yah! noh the Farel found a school for Ara around Gatra's apartment.'' Gatra tried to defend himself before the father blamed him.

''Dad kok increasingly do not understand yes, Mother only explained.'' Dad asked Mommy to tell him what Dad had missed.

Bundapun began to tell stories starting from Farel who had obtained a school for Ara, about Gatra who was minimal in providing information, all told by Mother nothing was missed.

''So, Ara want you to stay in your apartment, Tra? '' ask dad after you've finished telling me.

'' Yes, well, how else if forced to stay here would pity the time is up on the road.''

''Actually, I prefer that while Ara lived here first. At least there is a Mother who takes care of him if Dad is out of the house. But remember Tra, even though Ara's status is your legal wife, if you can do not care first. Poor him he's a kid. Wait until he graduated from school first, even if he wants to. At the end of his words still father teases his only child.

Listen tong paduka aja already told you still can not explore the cave of dreams. Poor you tong, even though your brother has justified the owner of the cave of your dreams. Patience with brother, tong. It will be beautiful in time. When that time has arrived brother will help entong to tear apart the entong dream cave.

''Thera?! the boy, told by parents too, was dumb. Picnic where are your thoughts?'' Gatra stuttered by Mother's nagging.

''So from earlier I said, you Peanin Tra?'' sewot Daddy.

''Eh. Gatra listened, Dad.'' Gatra was aware of his dirty thoughts.

''Don't tell me your mind is on another excursion up the mountain past the valley huh, Tra?!'' the Stove of Mother to Gatra. This is actually the piktor Mother what Gatra seh.

''Thra, that Ara already has no one else just us his family at this time. So I beg you to be able to look after and protect Ara. It is wrong for a wife to refuse to serve her husband, but it applies to normal married couples. Ara, you know for yourself how old Ara is, and her status is still a high school boy. If you two have stayed together then control your lust first. This does not mean you can casually finish it off!''

''If until Mother knows you are various outside, Mother cut it entong!''

Why is this middle-aged couple so on gini horror. Mother use bring-in want to cut the entong everything. It is not known from whom he will get grandchildren. Without the entong will not be his grandson born.

''The father of the same Mother is calm, Gatra has its own way to win the heart of Ara. No way Gatra will hook Ara if Ara is not ready and iklas born inner to perfect his role as a wife. Gatra will wait until the time comes. During that time Gatra will keep Ara as Gatra promised Om Randy.''

Nyess

gatra's words are like a clear lake for a thirsty traveler on a journey. As parents they are proud, although Gatra chose to be independent and live apart from them, but Gatra was able to keep himself from promiscuity. Even able to start his own business without the intervention of his parents.

''What, Gatra take home to the apartment now just yes, fear if the night let alone jammed. Let's get ready for school preparation tomorrow.'' Gatra was forced to make excuses to avoid the chatter that if heard by the otong could further make him hurt.

'' Neither did papa. Let Mommy ask Mbak Asih to prepare food for your supplies later tonight. Pity Ara if until your apartment will be hungry and have to come down again to find food.'' Mother rose from her seat to go to the kitchen. Just a few steps Mother back again.

''Your unit's room is two, so Mommy hopes you sleep apart first. Beware if until Mother fit nengokin you will sleep one room.''the threat of the queen does not seem to play games.

''Yes Bun, this is also Gatra want to hurry to the apartment as well so that he can clean up first would be Ara room candidates later.'' replied Gatra softened. No one is married but must sleep separately. There are even forced to one room especially if the marriage is coercion or arranged, is not seh?

Chequelek

It turned out that Ara was not sleeping, she was just sitting leaning on the headboard.

'' Ra, it turns out that you didn't sleep?'' Gatra approached Ara and followed her by sitting on the edge of the bed.

''Ara cannot sleep, Mas.'' Ara fixed her sitting position to be somewhat upright.

'' Then we go to the apartment now, so do not stay overnight and still be able to clean up your room later.''

Ara flicked the blanket that had been used to cover her legs and inched up through the side of the cot that Gatra did not occupy.

''Dad.'' call Ara when he gets to the living room and finds Sukma's father there.

There is a desire even longer to stay with father and mother, but Ara has already been able to respond to Gatra's invitation to go to his apartment.

''This is sitting smping Daddy!'' Ara complied to sit next to Sukma's father. '' How? tired of the journey?''

''No, not long from home to here is also only two hours.''

I chuckled at Ara's reply. Mother who has been ready with supplies for children and her daughter-in-law came from the kitchen. Leave the provisions on Gatra to put in the car. Then sit next to Ara.

''When Mother wants Ara to stay with Mother here, but do not papa later if the weekend ask your mas to be delivered here huh? force it if you don't want to. If not call Mother let Mother pick up Ara.''

''Yes, Bun.''

''Ra..'' Mother's voice shriveled. ''Ara is married to Mas Gatra is not sudden, right? from the small heart of Ara must be Ara is also not ready to be a wife, let alone now this Ara is still in school. Mommy just wants to remind you that your mas asked for various kinds of Mother allow Ara to reject it. Like running water, Mother wants Ara to undergo Ara's marriage. Mother wants forever only Ara Mother's daughter-in-law. So try, son, to live it. Moreover, this marriage is also a trust from his father Ara. When Ara was hurt by Mas Gatra, Ara came to Mommy. Mommy will attach the body to Ara, not just your mas anyone who hurts Ara told Mommy.'' Ara hugged haru Mommy.

Happy Ara can have another mother, feel the embrace of another mother.

Gatra and Ara return to the apartment delivered by Dad's driver, of course, using Dad's car. Because it was at the airport that picked up Farel and Gatra's car was still in his office from Gatra leaving for Semarang to dinkah suddenly with Ara.

After cipika cipiki with Bunda and stock only that banjangan for Gatra now they are ready to slide through the dense dam traffic jams city streets.

When going across the gate of the house, Mr. Ahmad the father's driver somewhat pulled over his car because there was a guest car that first reached the gate.

Ara sat in the back seat beside him there was Gatra. When the guest car crossed the car that Ara was riding in, suddenly Ara felt pain in her chest, and her heart was pounding. Ara held onto her chest and grimaced. Gatra who saw Ara thus Gatra grabbed the other hand of Ara.

''Why, Ra?''

''I don't know, I was suddenly in pain and pounding. Now it is no longer.'' the sense is lost instantly when the car that was boarded by Ara is already outside the gate of the house of Father and Mother.
