Constellations of Love

Chapters 27. Signal is good

Arriving at the front page of the puskesmas, Pandu took the mother and Laras directly to his dinas house.

"This is where I live."

"Ehm, not bad. It's pretty comfortable."

Mom set her eyes around. Clean patio with two moon orchid pits. Living room with minimalist style wooden chairs, made of teak. A small sideboard with a big screen television. Painting purple orchid flowers decorate the wall.

The barrel follows from behind.

"Want to rest first or look back?"

"Can, come!"

The mother precedes her son's steps inward. Pandu explains all the space up to the small courtyard in the back.

Stand up and talk about the place.

The barrel back just tailed them.

"Mas, I made you drink."

"Ma, what do you want to drink?"

"Please mineral water."

"I'm hot tea huh, Baras."

"Good."

The girl went into the kitchen.

"Shhh, is Laras here often?"

"No. Just once. I am the one who makes it. He happened to finish inter-student march on the plaza. It was noon there was a Siti's mbok here."

"Thank God."

Pandu knew what the mother meant. He smiled at the woman who gave birth to him.

"How far along is your relationship?"

"Hem, Pandu kissed her once. Just on his forehead."

Of course, there is no way the son said that they had enjoyed a little intimate moments even though not far away.

"That's not what Mom meant."

"Keep what dong, ma."

"Your co-workers know?"

"That's even a popular girl here. All the nurses and midwives know how he donated blood to his students first."

"So he's got a good reputation."

"Of course, ma. Don'worry. Tomorrow morning mama chat and confirm the same bik Siti or other Pandu colleagues in front."

"Yes, yeah. You seem to love him."

"The guide wants to be really serious about this relationship. We are both grown up and comfortable with each other.

"Mama try to understand."

"Thank you, ma."

The man took his mother to the living room. Drink and talk. More about puskesmas facilities.

Because it was night and Laras looked tired as well as the mother, Pandu asked permission to take the girlfriend home.

"Your house is far away, Laras?"

The guide said, "Not only twenty minutes from here. In the neighboring village."

"Ehm, okay."

"In the crowded house next door, ma. There's a nurse's family and mess. So mommy was here first, yeah. Just rest in Pandu's room."

"Yes, don't be long."

"Ready boss."

"I said aunty. Good night..."

Laras kisses the hand of the future mother-in-law. Um.....

"Hem, tomorrow Laras will send mom to the airport. The plane was five in the afternoon, right, ma?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Along the way to the house of Laras, Pandu endlessly clasped his girl's hand.

Barrel looked really tired. But when he told me about the course of the game, Pandu again saw the twinkle of his eyeballs lit up.

"Thank you Baras."

"For what, mas?"

"You're acting on my mom."

"Look down, mas. Mama mas Pandu is good."

"Yes, but if he does not fit someone sometimes over-babel. Or can't hide his judgment."

"Yes?"

"ops, sori. It seems like you're making your mom comfortable."

"Mas, too, overestimated the story about me."

"I think everything I say is true. Mama should know that her son is happy to have a girlfriend, like you."

"Data...."

Laras laughs. In his heart understand, mas Pandu want to give the impression to the mama, that the right girl Laras for him.

Pandu kissed the back of the girl's right hand fingers. They looked at each other and smiled.

"Tomorrow I'll pick up the clock, yes, we'll have lunch at my house. You talk to mama again. At two o'clock we'll take Mama to the airport."

"Yes, my mom."

"Please ask permission with grandma, if tomorrow she's a little late."

"Where are we?"

"From the airport, I want to ask you out."

"Huh? But if you go home, don't go past nine, ma'am."

"We'll see tomorrow."

"Morning Monday has to be work, so do I."

"Just look at sikon tomorrow, okay?"

"Ehm, yes."

The driver pulled the car for a moment. On the side of the road before the turn to the house Laras. The atmosphere is quite quiet.

Kissed the girl's forehead. Both cheeks and last a gentle kiss on her sultry lips. Only once.

Barrel sculpting. But honestly, he enjoyed the moment.

"Thank you, I love you, Laras."

The girl smiled, "Let's take me home quickly, mas."

Pandu looked at her, landing a loving gaze.

Arriving in front of the terrace of the house Laras. The man excused himself, did not go inside and did not forget he asked to be paid to grandma.

"Be careful, mom. Take a break."

"You too, dream of me."

"Ehm, yes."

"I love you."

Baras smiled naggingly.

"I love you, too."

I took a shower and rested in the child's room. There is a bathroom inside. A sitting toilet, shower and tiny bathtub and sink complete the room.

When Pandu returned, he sat down and watched the television in the living room. Replace the batik negligee from the previous magenta blouse complete with scripted batik scarf, as well as khaki and highheel colored cotton pants.

While Pandu after taking a change of clothes and towel, immediately to the next room. Shower in the back toilet. With squat toilet and small bathtub.

After a moment of talking to my mom. A goddie bag containing two boxes of brownies handed over to mama for Pandu's men.

"Tomorrow give it to the nurse or your neighbor."

Pandu.

"Uhh, why didn't you make Laras?" the inner man.

"Mama didn't give this to Laras, because you said he was a hobby of making cakes. So it's better all this for colleagues - colleagues in the puskesmas alone."

Pandu flinched, the mother could read what was in her heart.

"Mama's going to bed first. Talk again tomorrow. You look tired."

"Yes, ma."

The next day at half six in the morning Pandu had woken up. Morning rituals as usual. Drink two glasses of warm water from the dispenser.

Mom doesn't seem to be awake yet.

Siti arrived shortly afterwards. Early in the morning, according to the message of Dr. Pandu. Bring fresh vegetable ingredients and side dishes.

Pandu is watering a collection of orchids and some flower pots and other ornamental plants on the terrace.

"Morning, doc."

"Again, mbok. What's cooking this morning mbok?"

"This is the plan to make the doctor's mom Pandu, vegetable ureap touge and kale. Egg balado and fried tempeh. How's doc?"

"Sounds good. Be that as it may. Oya make lunch, what menu?"

"Chicken soup and fried tempeh."

"The sambel and shrimp crackers are also dong."

"Ready, doc."

After that the mbok engrossed in the kitchen. Scouts watching the morning news broadcast. Highlights this week.

My mother did not wake up until seven. Not as usual.

"Mama must be very tired" whispered Pandu then slowly knocked on the front room door. Open and look towards the bed.

Mom opened her eyes. Checking his phone screen.

"Morning, ma. Can you rest well?"

"At the airport yesterday, Pram I told you, when mama just landed."

"Just a minute, mama call papa first."

"Okay, I'll wait in the living room. After that we have breakfast, ma."

"Yes.."

Scout out. Soon after, my mom called me. I heard the conversation of her parents. There's laughter. Occasionally mama's talk reminds her husband to take omega-three supplements.

Fifteen minutes passed. Mom came out after showering and changed clothes. It looks fresher. Pandu invites to the dining room as well as his small kitchen.

Ready for breakfast menu. Mbok was seen washing cooking utensils.

"This is mbok Siti, ma. Who cooks and helps here."

"Good morning Pandu's mother, doctor" said the mbok, nodding respectfully.

"Yes, mbok met morning. Have you worked here long?"

"More than ten years, ma'am. There are four doctors I serve. Everyone bring family. Only Pandu's doctors are bachelors."

"My son isn't that hard, is he?"

"No, ma. Too plain and nrimo."

Pandu glanced at the mbok, smiling happily with his praise. The mbok replied with a wry smile.

"Titip him mbok ya. If the wayward is told you."

"Good, mom. Please enjoy breakfast. Go to the backyard first."

"Thank you."

The woman passed away. Pandu and the mother started to eat. Talk about the working conditions. Then the topic shifted about Sandra.

"Sandra's supposed to send a message. Her mother has improved. He sends you greetings."

"Ehm ...." Pandu only mumbled a little.

"She told me that you've been ignoring her calls a lot."

"Kan Pandu is busy, ma. There was an emergency patient."

"A lot like that?"

"Mama must understand, how on the field. Especially here. I sometimes work twenty-four hours."

"Be careful, take care of your condition as well."

"certain. Fortunately there is a barrel. He made my days colorful. How's she according to mom?"

"Look. My mom only knew him yesterday. It is too early to judge someone. First impression, she seems like a pretty good girl."

"Very good, ma."

"Ehm, do you think a few months is enough to believe that your relationship can last ? Or can you take it more seriously?"

"guide sure. Me and Laras agreed to fight for that right."

"Surely Sandra really wants to build a serious relationship with you. Until he seemed to be begging. Lowering his ego and arrogance. Mama knew it would be hard for her. People can change, so can our feelings."

"The guide has forgotten the past, ma. Don't want to get stuck in memories. It's time to enjoy the present and prioritize preparing for the future."

Mama still wants to talk about Sandra. How the girl almost got married. Then the fiance cheated. Long time he's been down. It is said that there are rumors that Sandra was once two-bodied and miscarried.

"Pity him."

Pandu. Sighs.

Mama continued," Papa Sandra asked him to be betrothed to his best friend's son, you."

Pandu batin, "A match made out of pity. I don't want to sacrifice for something like this. Sandra's just an old friend to me anyway."

"If you don't want to open your heart to her, or you already have Baras, please stay nice to Sandra. Be honest and honest with him."

"So mama gave me and Laras the opportunity and blessing to have this relationship?"

"Not one hundred percent. Mama's position wait and see. Too early."

"But Pandu will still survive ma, give us time to prove this."

"Honestly, Mom believed you. You can choose a good girl to be your companion."

"Thank you, ma. Pray for Pandu always, yes. "

Mama nodded.

After eating, take a shower and get ready. Mama waited by chatting with the mbok in the back.

Mama wants Pandu accompany to tour the puskesmas.

Soon Pandu introduced the mama while carrying by for the neighbors. They're his men in the office. Bachelorette nurse and senior nurse family.

Walk into the practice room of the son. Practices of poly teeth fronted drg. Sugiri's. Then to the ER to the counter corridor and admin room to the inpatient room. Greet two nurses and one midwife because there are patients who will give birth.

"Enough adequate of these health facilities. Just need improved sanitation, safety and installation, it looks like."

The mother gave some input to the puskesmas.

"Yes, ma. Pandu already discussed with the head of nurses and TU, make a proposal to add K3 equipment, repair the warehouse and generator."

"Mama believes in your abilities."

"Thank you, ma."

"How is society social here?"

Pandu said that residents are quite welcome, open-minded and willing to be invited to work together for progress. Many migrants also, especially workers and employees of palm oil processing plants.

"That's good. What is your working area?"

"Very broad, ma. There are about fifteen villages. But the population isn't too much."

"You stay careful. The condition of the area here is safe?"

"Friendly, ma. "

"Thank God."

Mama wants to know the details of where to serve the son.

"Ehm, it looks like the park near the parking lot and the waiting room of general patients should be repaired. Let's be beautiful."

"Yes, ma."

"Mama is more observant than the supervisors of the service," Inner Pandu.

They continued the conversation in the living room. This time it's about family. The story of Pram who has graduated and immediately graduated. Bella's family, the sister's boyfriend. Practical clinics of general practitioners and dentists as well as pharmacies managed by Pram. Also update news of relatives.

At eleven, Pandu picks up Laras. Mom rested in the child's room. He sends greetings to the Laras family.

The man called his girlfriend.

"I'll pick you up. Beautiful Dandan, go on a date."

" Yes, mas Pandu."

"Seriously, dating with a future husband and future in-law."

"Ouch...a far away!"

"Well, don't you want us to be halal fast?"

"It's not so."

"Come, answer honestly."

"I'm not ready for that."

"I'm ready and I'll get you ready for me."

"Yes, just go through it first. Yes, I want to change clothes and dress up..."

"Remember to be beautiful!"

"Look at it later."

Conversation stopped Barrel. Pandu smiled amusedly. She likes to tease her boyfriend.

Laras, Laras, sometimes you can be a girlfriend, so a sister even a teacher, for me.

Pandu. His heart was so happy.

Arriving at the house of Laras, grandmother welcomed him. Ask mama Pandu.

"Sorry you haven't been able to come here because you're tired. Just say hello to grandma."

Grandma relieved. There seems to be a good signal that the mother has approved Pandu's relationship with the grandson. Earlier this morning Laras told me that Mama Pandu, the person is good.

"Please say thank you and greetings to your mother's introduction."

"Good grandma. Oya later Laras come home a little night. Please permit, grandma."

"Ehm, yeah. If it can't be more than nine."

"Thank you, grandma."

Barrel appears. Green dress toska with V neck, white daisy flower motif. Light blue denim jacket. Her face is sweet with natural decoration. Electric red brick. The shoulder-length hair is beautifully seared with silver clasps on the right side. Grey sling bag. Footwear flat shoes black. Sweet, girly and fresh.

Pandu. They chatted for a moment with Grandma. Then leave to take Mama Pandu to the airport.

"Whether it looks like this I can quickly propose to you!"

"Hus, Pandu can do it."

"Sure!"

"We've only been dating for less than two months, but it's been a long distance she thought."

"There are even those who do not need to date, directly married. Hem married sense dating. Seriously kali. So it could be direct...."

"Direct what?"

"Ehm, make a child!"

"Well, why does his mind go there?"

"Where should we go?"

"Towards building trust and deepening character, overcoming all the tests in relationships, so!"

"Okay, teacher."

Pandu glanced at the girlfriend. Kumat's juteknya. But he likes Baras like that.

"All choices have risks, right?"

"Well, it can make a conclusion."

"Yes, not the teacher....."

Laughter breaks. Pandu is happy, Laras did not ask about the response of his mother or his assessment of her.
