The gate is wide open. The greeting of the Security welcomes the arrival of the daughter and daughter-in-law of the Salim family.
"Wahh.... Den Pandu and Non Jihan. How are you?" Surapto the Security greets you first.
"Alhamdulillah, good sir. My dad and the others are healthy too, right?"
"Alhamdulillah, safely under control Den. Non Jihan is more beautiful. Hehe...."
"Tumben my Mr. muji. Usually you always call me a bad boy."
Cute pout a la Jihan. Invites everyone to laugh.
"Joking is Non. Excuse me. Hihi...."
"Yes, Mr. Surapto, we go straight in?"
"Oh, yes. Mango atuh."
Pandu laughed at the Sundanese Medok spoken by Surapto.
Jihan rushed out of Pandu's car and immediately shouted calling Mama and Papa.
"Ma....! Oh....! Jihan's coming. Yuhuu....!!"
"Darling, say hello!" Pandu Reprimand.
The rapid steps are beginning to sound. Mama screams in excitement when she finds out her daughter and daughter-in-law are coming.
"Damn....! Mama's Son...."
"Mama...." Their embrace was unforgettable.
Not just the mother. The middle-aged man with a firm stature was also elated to welcome the arrival of Jihan and Pandu. Pandu approached, greeted and embraced the body of the father-in-law.
"Healthy you, Ndu?"
"Alhamdulillah, healthy Pa. How's your mom?"
"Alhamdulillah, healthy son. The elders like this, the energy is still josss.... Haha...."
Jihan clucked, "Ck, so crisp."
Papa's eye-painting returned Jihan's scorn.
Mama ended the heated debate that Jihan and her husband had done. The two of them met already like oil and water. Cannot unite. Always end up in a row and blame each other.
"Oh, come on in!"
Pandu and some ART helped carry their luggage. Mama and Papa deliver Jihan and Pandu to Jihan's old room.
"Guide, just let Jihan tidy up your things. You've got Papa's coffee in the back garden!"
"But Jihan still needs help...." The refutation stopped when Pandu actually followed his Papa's wishes.
"Iihhh... mas Pandu is so evil!!"
"Hahaha. His name is also men. We women are forgotten."
"Didih, Mama's very melancholy."
Jihan cursed at herself who was already troubling herself. Just realized that the things he brought were indeed too much. My mom did not stop being upset.
"How long do you want to wait? A year?"
"Mama. Can't you?"
"That's not what Mom meant. How long you want my mom to mind. Mama was surprised by all of your stuff. Very much indeed. Just a little."
"His name is also Ma's woman. Many needs." Pesil Jihan.
"That was your habit from the beginning. Always overrated. Pandu must be overwhelmed by your habits."
"Jihan is starting to change. Besides, Pandu does not matter if Jihan buys whatever Jihan wants. As long as Jihan knows the limits."
Papa and Pandu talked a lot about business. Occasionally accompanied by their jokes.
"I'm very grateful to you, Pandu. You love my son sincerely. My concern about my only daughter is resolved."
"I also deeply felt how much love a father had for his daughter. Meeting Jihan was something I never thought of. Everything just goes by. And loving her is an expression of my gratitude for God's wonderful gift. Jihan has colored my life a lot. Jihan gives me a comfortable love. And a blessing that I had always feared was easily obtained."
Pandu's smile gets a reply to a crisp laugh from Papa.
"Haha.... I'm not the kind of person to trust anyone. In fact, Jihan's relationship with that son of a bitch was never my blessing. For 5 years I was against still not being heard by my dissident daughter."
"Father!!!"
The dislike cry of Jihan shocked the chatter of the two men.
Jehan's pouting face asked for a plea from Mama. Mama even glanced and grabbed onto Papa's shoulder. As if agreeing with Papa. Jihan stared dislikefully. As a result, he walked towards Pandu and sat on the floor under Pandu. Gender his head at the foot of the palanquin.
"Mas. Why not be angry?"
"Haha.... Honey, what Papa said seems to have a point as well. 5 years is quite a long time. Your time is completely wasted."
Grunting is not liked anymore.
"Your destiny is too late. Try it first, it is definitely directly Mama and Papa blessing. In fact, my mother can already nimang grandson. Hihi...."
"Mom thinks it's that easy. Destiny is in God's hands. No matter how big our efforts, if it is not time to mate, yes will not meet."
Papa is touching Jihan.
"Tumben you can think grown up."
"Papa....!!!" Jihan was screaming back.
Papa and Mama leave Jihan just like that with the frustration of Jihan that has not subsided.
The elusan in Jihan's hair slightly made her regain her composure. The brief kisses on the top of his head emitted a sweet smile of Jihan.
"My Sweet Husband.... You keep succeeding in nenangin badmood me. What is this created from? Perfect as hell." Pinch the second squash of the Pandu cheeks.
"Udah is good at making you ya."
"Hihihi. That's honesty."
Jihan landed her lips on Pandu's left cheek. They do not know, behind it Mama and her Papa witnessed the intimacy of a couple who were drunk in love. A smile of relief emanated from both corners of Mama and Papa's lips as he looked at his daughter who had managed to find her true love.
...π~π...
In a stall of five feet, the 5 friends were sitting staring at the night sky that was not filled with many stars. The wind kept blowing hard. It looks like tarps on the roadside swaying furiously following the wind direction.
"Lack of work I'm sure you're all dumb not clear like this."
The clap behind Eno's head let out a ringing of pain.
"We are lucky, don't bother you." Lily voiced.
Breathing out repeatedly sounded. Maya stared at her cream map full of pity.
"Wherever you go, no one needs a new worker yet." His complaint.
"Work part time at the cafe where I work May. Wanna not? Of course, his salary is small. Count, just for a while before we meet the new Locker."
"Yeeee.... You're good at talking like Chik. You include being. Work for savings. Well we, work to pay arrears. Hadehh...." Giselle.
Suppose that others agree with Giselle's valid words.
Lily lowered her head while counting her fingers as an abacus.
"2 months of my boarding has not paid off. The rest of the savings I set aside to send to the village. And now, the stomach isn't healthy yet."
"Patience to Ly." Chika's embrace is trying to strengthen.
"I'm thinking, what about Jihan now. It's so sorry."
"Yaelah Ly. His fate from the orok was assured. Super luxury. After all, no work, people can still eat in five-star restaurants, around the world. Not to mention the businessman. I must have slept quietly, she said. Lo freaks!"
"But this is all her dreams, Jihan. If there is no mbak Jihan, we did not know the big salary. You guys do not forget how we first met and know mbak Jihan?"
Lily's statement brought them flashback to the back. Where they first met, got to know and finally gathered into a solid team.
Flashback On Maya's
Starting from an accidental meeting at one of the famous Mall in Jakarta. Maya, who had just graduated from her High School, was babysitting for a super busy couple. At that time, he was overwhelmed chasing a cool little boy running around in the crowded building on the 3rd floor. He was left alone with both parents of the boy was busy choosing famous products do not care about his son.
The slippery floor was hard for him to control. The friction from her shoes led to a glamorous woman walking down her head looking at her mobile phone. Clashes also occur. Unexpectedly, the woman's drink cup managed to be nudged and spilled embroidery dress which is certainly very expensive in value. The anxiety he displays.
"Ma-sorry Miss. I'm sorry. Geez, this dress must be very expensive. Sorry Miss.... I'm really sorry." He said that since then he did not stop the action that was trying to dry the dress the woman was wearing.
"Hmm...it's okay...."
"Oh my goodness, Maya!! What are you doing?! Oh My God!! Sorry Miss.... I'm sorry for my babysitter's mistake." Please the woman he thought was the Chinese woman's master who had run him over.
"It's okay. It's just a little wet. Anyway, my fault too. I walk not focused towards my path."
A smile of relief from Maya's face. Emergency decreases. He never ceases to express his gratitude. The woman continued her path.
However, not too far away he stepped, the clap was still clearly audible.
"Basic is not becus!! You could have let my son wander around in this crowded place. What if my child?!" The haughty man's impact squeezed the hearts of those who saw and heard him.
"Fortunately the woman did not ask for compensation from the carelessness you made. In fact, your salary for a few months will not be enough to pay for such an expensive dress. Stupid woman!!!"
1 hand kite successfully dispelled. Maya's pale face continued to hold back the tears.
"This way you treat your nanny?! The employer who has no heart."Β His grunts try to hold it.
"Miss, not like it...."
His blighted eyes stopped the haughty man's rebuttal.
"Is there no shame in showing the character of the two of you in front of everyone?! It's not just me. Those who see also have the right to report immoral actions from a pair of haughty masters like you!!"
Trouble the couple swallowed their saliva.
"His apology is very clear that he has admitted his mistake. You should have realized, that leaving the child just like that you two!! This small child still needs the attention of his parents who are very busy with their own business. I'm thinking hard, how much mental people are broken because of you."
His hand clasped Maya's hand which kept holding her sobs.
"Stop this job! You belong to me."
His hand-drawn Maya away from the crowd of people showing her embarrassment.
Now, Maya does not believe in the heroic actions of the woman to help him and even send him directly to his residence.
"You can join me."
A lady's business card was offered. Beautifully written De' fashion logo is very being discussed in public at that time.
"I'm Jihan. I need a sincere partner like you. Ready?"
The smile of the woman was charming. She believed that this woman was very good and educated. He saw that sincere attitude from his reckless attitude that asked directly careless and uneducated women like him to join working in a well-known company.
Flashback Off
Maya's heavy breathing recalls that precious encounter. So too with the others.
"OK, Jihan does have a good side like the Goddess of Rescue. Behind his hard attitude and perfectionism, still tucked in a high sympathetic sense. I'm a delinquent who doesn't know myself."
Hitting his own head condemned his reckless thoughts regarding Jihan.
"If only my eyes see the face of the lekong, I will smackdown tuh child. Because of him our fate became like this. Traitor!! Argh....!!!"
The wind is getting stronger. In fact, the lightning light had already dared to reprimand them. Not wanting to add to the bad luck, the five of them immediately left the place. The rain was getting more and more heavy. Their departure caused the growl of the shop owner.
"Basic bokek kids!! Mesan 2 cups of sweet tea only. To my stall just sit. Where it's noisy again. Until the rain falls like this just disperse."
