Bound Other Love

Episodes 13. Lying to make parents happy

Mud has been a toy Carnation since childhood, he was never afraid, mud will dirty his legs and other limbs. It was thanks to the mud that had made him and his parents able to survive until now.

After his father and mother rushed to clean his work equipment, Carnation also rushed to clean all the dirt that was stuck on his feet. Then they went home. A happy smile continued to radiate on the faces of the Carnations parents. The longing that they had been enduring was already due to the arrival of his daughter.

Suddenly Carnation stopped its pace,

"Dad.mom....Just a moment, Anye wants to see Mr. Edi first".

"Who is Mr. Edi Nye" asked Dad.

"He was the hotel driver who had brought Anye here. Let Mr. Edi take the car directly to the house, while Anye wants to go home on foot with Dad and mom while enjoying the fresh air here".

"Yes son", replied Anye's parents.

Actually, Anye did this just want to avoid the attention of the citizens, which of course they will wonder if they see her drive home in a luxury car. Anye did not want to be a gossip or the lips of the people who met him.

Anye approached Edi. " Sir, you go first.My house is not far from here. In front there is an intersection, take the right direction and then follow the road until you meet the village office. My house, the sixth house to the left after the village office. I just want to walk with my mom and dad. I miss the fresh air in this village sir."

"Alright Non, I'm non first."

"Sir call me Carnation, the greeting of the lady is too formal as it sounds, besides I am only a village girl".

"Miss is one of the closest people to Mister, where maybe I just call the name non only. Let non.. I stick with that call".

"Alright, it's up to you".

Mr. Edi then drove the car towards the direction mentioned Anyelir, while Anye and her parents walked together while continuing to joke. Anye misses this kind of atmosphere. They continued walking while greeting the citizens who passed by them. The citizens were happy to see the Carnations back, let alone the youths. Besides being friendly, Carnation is one of the village flowers there so many young people admire it.

Now that they have arrived home, the mother immediately rushed to open the door and invited Mr. Edi to enter. Carnations immediately into the kitchen making tea for Dad and Mr. Edi.

While Mr. Edi chatted with his father, Anye and his mother prepared a guest room for Mr. Edi to rest.

Then Anye entered her room, she saw the state of her room was still the same as when she left. His mother cleaned his room every day so that no dust stuck. Anye then cleans herself and relaxes her body for a moment to unwind.

When Maghrib arrived Father and Mr. Edi went to mushollah, mother and Anye prayed at home and then they prepared dinner.

Upon his return, Dad and Edi from the mosque, they also had dinner together with the menu that Carnations brought from the city. They eat voraciously, especially Dad.

"Enak very yes sir cuisine of Anye's mother and also her friends. They are very kind and considerate with us so that they also know the favorite menu of the father" said the mother.

"Yes ma'am, father until he ate it. Come on, Edi added again. Our village is located at the foot of the hill, with very cold air so make our stomach for a while already hungry again. Please add rice and side dishes sir".

"Yes sir, Thank you", replied Edi.

Finished eating they gathered in the front room while waiting for Isha's arrival'. Mr. Edi and father went to mushollah after hearing the sound of the azan reverberating.

Tonight Carnation sat down with her father and mother.he wanted to talk about the purpose of her return today. Anye could not delay it anymore because tomorrow afternoon she had to return to the city as she had promised Satya. And the day after Anye also had to go back to work.

Anye began to open the story "Dad..mom, actually Anye's return here there is something Anye wants to say", for a moment Anye fell silent, she hesitated to tell the truth or not. It does not hurt the happiness of his mother and father.

"What's the problem, son? what do you want to talk about?" ask mother.

"As we agreed with Mr. Danu, Anye's time is only about a month away ma'am".

Mom and Dad nodded.

Then Dad said, "If you don't have the money to pay off your debt, don't force it. It's dad's debt so it should be dad's responsibility to settle it. Let them come here, father will face them, the important thing is you don't come back here until I can pay it off. I don't want Anye to be used by them as a substitute to pay off my debt. Anyway you have to stay in the city, so they can't force you."

"Yes, son, it's important to make your life happy there. The problem here is let father and mother alone think and handle it. Mom and dad just want to see you happy at the end of our lives, son".

"Look it well.bu, Insha Allah Anye can pay it off next month. Anye came here just to ask for my blessing from Mom and Dad".

"Restu for what son" mother looked at Anye in wonder.

"Anye's getting married ma'am...Daddyh. Insha Allah as soon as possible".

"I mean you're married to Mr. Danu! Anyway dad disagrees, let me be tortured or even imprisoned is not a problem than I see you tortured".

"No, Anye's getting married to Anye's boss".

"You're serious, son, what's the reason your boss wants to marry you. Why would he pick you while we're not equal to him. Is there a reward behind this?", investigate mother.

"No ma'am, we love each other". Finally Anye lied.

Seeing the condition of his parents when he came home this afternoon, making Carnations did not have the heart to tell the truth, he finally chose to decide for himself the path of life he would take.

"What about the family, did they approve of your wedding plans?" ask mommy back. It seems that mother wants to investigate the honesty of Carnations.

"They agree mom".

"If it's true that you love each other, why do you just come alone. Supposedly for a problem of this magnitude you should come together to meet us to get blessing", continued the mother again.

"He's the boss at the hotel where Anye works ma'am, his job is currently piling up. He said that on the eve of the wedding he would definitely come to propose Anye to Mom and Dad".

" What's right, son, there's nothing you're hiding from us". I kept pushing, still in disbelief. A mother's instinct is sharper, if it is about the happiness of her child.

"Anye's serious mom, there's nothing Anye's hiding from Mom and Dad". Anye tried her hardest to convince her parents.

"Let's just say mom..dad, when you get back tomorrow Anye to the city, we will Video Call mom and dad. Mom and dad can ask him directly to be more sure. For now Anye's prospective husband can not be disturbed because of his busyness. Actually she asked Anye to come here later, with her after her work was done but Anye forced her to go home first. I miss my mom and dad very much".
