THE CUPU THE IDOL OF CHAPTER XXIX

#requesting permission

"Alhamdulillah, son. Mama will not force you kok son, just want to meet and make friends just mama feel happy. Thank you, handsome and sholeh mother." Mama approached me and gave me a jecuoan on my cheek.

Ah, it doesn't feel wrong that I accepted my mother's offer. Seeing my mom so happy that she landed a kiss on my cheek made me feel happy. If only meeting that girl could make you this happy, I should have accepted my mother's offer from the beginning. Mama, always be healthy, because your smile gives me happiness.

"Assalamu'alaikum, aunt." Adit said his greetings when he arrived at the door of Echa's house.

This morning Adit deliberately went to school early. In accordance with his words yesterday, from today Adit will pick up and deliver Echa.

"Getishalight." Mama Echa answered her greeting and opened the door of the house.

"Adith... How come you're here early in the morning?" ask mama Echa.

"Ehm.. Yes aunt. Adit wants to get Echa to go to school together." Adit replied in embarrassment.

"Get Echa? How about tumben, son? Usually Echa go on a motorcycle taxi." asked the mother a little wonder.

"Geez, auntie forgot. Come in, Adit, have breakfast with yuk. Echa is also ready, not yet out of her room." Mama Echa invites Adit to have breakfast together.

"No tan, Adit just wait here." Answer Adit politely.

"Don't dong, dit. Your auntie's time is alone here, while your aunt and family have breakfast. If your mama finds out, if aunty gets fired as her best friend." Mama Echa said a little jokingly.

Adit smiled faintly at the joking mama Echa. Although only a few times met, Adit already felt familiar with both parents Echa.

"Alright tan, Adit's having breakfast with aunt and family." Adit answered a little doubtfully.

Five minutes Adit waited for Echa at the dinner table, but there was no sign of Echa. Finally, Mama Echa went to pick up Echa. I heard her knocking on the door of Echa's room.

Geck.. Geck... Geck...

"Cha, not finished yet? The later bad luck. At the dinner table there is also Adit waiting for you. He said today you're going to school with Adit." Mama said to her daughter.

Hearing the mama mention Adit's name, Echa jumped in shock. And rushed out of the room.

Oh Allah... How could I forget that today Brother Adit will pick me up. What did mama say? Adit's brother waiting at the dinner table? Jeez, that's a sign that Adit's brother will also take breakfast with mom and dad. Oh Allah... What would I answer if my mom and dad asked about me and Adit's sister?

I better be honest with my parents. After all, my parents were also friends with Adit's parents. If it is hidden, sooner or later it will be discovered as well. Echa exited the room after tidying things up.

"Good morning, ma." Sapa Echa's.

"Loh kok only papa and mama who are greeted. There is also Adit." Papa teases his daughter.

"Ehm-- morning brother, Adit." Sapa Echa is a little shy.

"By the morning, Cha." Answer Adit.

"Something seems to be hiding something to us ma." asked then who looked towards mama.

Uhuk.. Uhuk...

Papa's words succeeded in making me cough while chewing the toast that became the breakfast menu this morning. Feeling stifled by papa's words, I looked at my face and mama alternately. Before I open my mouth to explain, Adit opened his voice first.

"Sorry om, aunt. Previously Adit apologized for being so presumptuous to pick up Echa this morning. Actually om, me and Echa are currently close. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask for permission to have a special relationship with Echa. A relationship that is more than just a friend." Adit explained.

"Oh so it seems, ma." Papa Echa glanced at his wife.

"Alright, dit. Om and aunt will let you. But on condition, om want to make sure if the school and concentration of learning you two are not disturbed. And most importantly, you guys should be able to keep our good name and honor paran parents. Be it Echa's parents and yours, dit." Papa Echa sternly looked at his daughter and Adit.

"Good,om. Adit will always remember all of your messages." Answer Adit.

"And one more thing, Adit and Echa. You have to keep your limits, auntie doesn't want you to cross any boundaries. Aunty asked you to take good care of your aunt's daughter, dit." Mama Echa chimed.

"Good, tan. Adit will always remember all the om and aunt messages. Adit will take good care of Echa, and Adit will drive Echa home on time without anything less than Echa." Jawa Adit convinces both of Echa's parents.

Hearing the conversation between his parents and Adit makes Echa touched by Adit's attitude. Echa is stunned by Adit's mature attitude. Although Adit was only 17 years old, but the attitude he showed was like an adult man who was far from his age.

Finish breakfast, Adit and Echa farewell. Adit and Echa kissed the shrewd backs of Echa's parents' hands. Seeing Echa and Adit, Mama and Papa Echa did not stop smiling on their faces. Echa's parents look happy to see Adit and Echa. The little girl they had grown up lovingly had now incarnated a beautiful teenage girl. The little girl they always care about, now has a close friend who is the opposite sex.

Time keeps turning leaving beautiful memories. Echa's childhood memories are so attached to the hearts of mama and papa Echa. Sooner or later this will happen. The spoiled little girl will begin to feel an attraction to the opposite sex. And as parents, mama and papa Echa must still advise, monitor, remind and provide provisions so that the princess does not violate the norms and teachings that apply in religion and in society. They do not want to feel regret and disappointment later on.
