Duda Bucin VS Beautiful Thugs

chapter 34

"Assalamu'alaikum!" said Darren from the door of May's house.

"Vaalaikumsalam. Uh dud– Darren." Mei grinned at the horse when she almost said the wrong thing in front of Darren.

Wanted to say widower but was undone for fear of offending Darren despite the fact that Darren won was a widower.

"You said widower? Tell me I'm okay anyway it's true I'm a widower."

"No Darren was aye wanted to joke a little but not so. Sit down, aye make a drink for you."

Darren sits on the chair on the terrace of May's house and waits for Mei to return there.

"Son Darren, why is it outside? Go inside" Saroh said.

"No Aunty, just here" said Darren and then he kissed the back of Saroh's hand.

"Where is it? I'm meeting with Mei, right?"

"Yes Aunty, May is back in a little while" he said."

Before long May came with a cup of tea for Darren, she knew the man who held the status of widower did not like coffee because that's why he brought fresh tea for Darren.

"This is a drink please drink," said Mei, putting the cup on the table.

"There's a guest, aye can you hang out here with aye guests?"

"Why do you have permission, you don't want to go anywhere."

"No, but still aye must have Nyak's permission."

"Well, there are you ah" said Saroh as he walked away leaving them both.

"What's coming up and not saying?"

"May I miss you, may I miss you?"

"Well, I can't deny that's your right."

Darren smiled as he looked at Mei.

"Ngeliatin don't be like that shit."

"Hmm, why?"

"It will be hard to eat aye."

"That's why I'm here now."

"The hum is connected."

"I'm not kidding. We marry yuk."

"Et married yet?"

"Well, that's what else."

"You're not taking the wrong medication, are you? Suddenly married."

"I'm serious Mei."

"No way, aye is not ready for marriage. There's still some business I haven't finished."

"What?"

"Can't explain."

"Why?"

"Yes, I don't want to explain it."

"Wood, Niki, Amel and Alif. Are they the reason?"

Mei looked at Darren with a strange look, she never told anyone about them but why Darren knew them.

"I know why."

"No, who are they? Aye doesn't know."

"Don't lie Maisya Meylanie. I know you're worried about them you calm down after we get married I won't forbid you from leaving them. We're gonna have them stay with us in our house and we're gonna send them to college."

"What are you talking about?"

"No one wants to understand your will Mei, why think again?" said Rojak who accidentally heard Darren's words.

"Babeh menguping our conversation? Pamali Beh," said Mei.

"Whoever nguping, Babeh wants to take the angkot key that is still hanging in fear there is a gondol again tuh angkot."

"Can. If you both go in first, Babeh will take the car keys first." Rojak also immediately approached his angkot parked in front of his house!

"You're what the hell. Ngaco deh."

"I'm serious Mei."

"Where is Grandma?" gaby asked Aryanti who was watching television.

"Eh you haven't slept? Your father went outside."

"Where are you going?"

"Grandma don't know what you want?"

"Mama Mei's caller."

"Now it's night, tomorrow morning we call Mama Mei. Now you sleep there, tomorrow you have to go to school."

"Om, Auntie actually I want to marry Mei" Darren said.

"Married Mei? You sure?" saroh.

"I'm sure, I promise I won't disappoint Mei and I'll always make her happy."

"Yes if May wants to please us as parents can only bless," said Rojak.

"Where's Mei, you want to be with Darren?" ask Saroh.

"Aye needs time and aye still has responsibility for the children."

"Pan Babeh heard, Darren wants to take care of them."

"Beh, Nyak, they are not a few there are four people you know they are."

"I can afford Mei, let alone four, ten I can afford them if that's what you want."

"That's you, not necessarily your parents."

"They won't interfere in my business, you calm down."

"This is only May, if you are not ready you give clarity to Darren if you want to say you want but you ask for time to convince your heart, if you don't want you to say no so Darren can find another, let Darren not ngarepin you continue," said Rojak.

Darren just nodded his head, agreeing with all Rojak said.

Mei was silent while lowering her head.

"Why is aye kudu in this position anyway? Aye didn't know what to say" Mei said in her heart.

"This is a child, it is said that even diem-diem bae," said Saroh.

"Where is Mei, you don't want to marry me? As your Papa said that you are not ready for marriage anytime soon, I am willing to give you time until you are ready. I'll wait for you even for the next few years."

"Sorry, I can't answer now. Aye, you have to think first so you can't make the wrong decision."

"But don't wait too long, don't make people wait for something uncertain. Babeh doesn't want Darren to be disappointed because you answered him long ago don't even want to be with him."

"Beh, please understand aye. Aye never thought this."

"No Papa Om, I'll wait. Disappointment is common in all relationships including relationships like this."

"Sorry Darren, once every twenty-four hours. Tomorrow night you'll be here again."

Mei wanted to say yes to Darren but she was afraid that her feelings had not been completely fixed on Darren.

Mei is already comfortable and used to being with Darren but she is not aware of the love for Darren.

"More than twenty-four hours is also okay May. I'm ready."

"Well, if it's good, then tomorrow night you'll talk about this again. Do not bring Nyak with Babeh again yes later if you are steady for a new marriage and involve Babeh with Nyak," said Rojak.

"Wikah Beh is not married."

"Just like May."

"Well, I didn't, marriage was newly married."

Darren just smiled at Mei's argument with Rojak.

Finally, after being in a tense situation, they talked again with another topic that was not related to Darren's feelings in May.
