"Where was your meeting?"
The car stopped in the yard. I just turned off the engine. My mom asked me that question.
All four of these women I love so much are coming at you, storming with that absurd question.
"Please on, Ma. Wait David down first, go in first, sit down first ... Ma," I replied lazily.
I got off the car.
Mama took my hand, grabbed my arm. It's interesting because I didn't answer what he was asking.
"Both, David. Now walk the way."
My mom dragged me home.
Gallally, Ma.
I can only grumble. How could you dare to refute this queen of mine.
Can prick me.
"So, how was the meeting?" ask Mama again. This time in a sad tone.
"No matter what, Ma," I said.
"Why did you keep going long? Mama think you're walking or watching that?" asked Mama with a look.
His eyes were squinting with frowns.
"So where are you going?"
"Tadi .. mmm .. to Anna's house" I replied grimacingly.
And successfully made my right ear hot. Because Mama's jewels with teeth that clench together hold back the growl.
"You yaa .. instead of taking care of your own business, busy with the ex-wife." Mama nagged, but her hand did not come out of my ear.
I was forced to bend down, following Mama's first steps forward. Dragging a step with both hands holds the heat of the ear that is getting worse.
Don't ask me how my face is. Surely my handsome face is turning into the ugly one.
"Awww!!! Awww!!! Sick, Ma," I screamed.
In the living room there were several servants closing their mouths, laughing at our behavior.
"Review yea, I fire later," my ketus restrained.
"Sorry." The maids ran in droves to accept my threat.
Good, do not let down my charisma as an employer in this house. They might not be afraid of me anymore.
Mom, too good to the waiters.
Wow, this is fucked up. Why am I talking about that unimportant waitress.
"Dare to threaten your maid, huh?" My mother is pulling my ears.
"www!" I forcefully pulled out my ears that were already burning.
Hany hopes not to break up.
Then, I rubbed the hot ears.
"Mama is so happy with her own child. David's a real child. Cook is being persecuted like this," I grieved.
"Your part. Not fast love Mama Mantu. He was busy dealing with his ex-wife. We can continue to do good to Anna and her family. It is also impossible to break up with them. Especially with Adrian. But you also have to think about the future. Thinking of Mama, when will give our family a grandchild." Mom's eyes are glazed.
Of course as a child, I would not be able to see the sad face of Mama.
"I'm sorry, Ma," I said. "David's already met him, but we feel equally mismatched."
"What do you mean?"
"Yes ...." I sat on the floor facing Mama who was sitting on the sofa. Grasping my dear woman's hand, kissing her in reverence. "So I met Tasya. Keep ... we both agreed not to continue this meeting."
"Is there no hope? That is, as time goes on 'you guys can fit in."
"No way, Ma. We are both adults. Know each other's wishes. After all, David no longer wants to force the will" I explained.
"Oh yes. Since your status as a widower, you become more chatty yes ... not as arrogant as before." kekeh Mama interrupted crying.
I straightened my back. Stretched out my hands, rubbed my wet face.
Then smile as sweetly as possible. "Thank you, Ma," I said.
I spread my shoulders and stood up to leave Mama.
The shower can cool the head.
***
Tonight I had to accompany Mama to meet her friend's invitation.
Thirty-five year wedding anniversary.
A party full of parents. I think so, until the venue turned out to be a lot of young people who came.
"Hi, Dance. Thank you ... has come," said the woman who owns the party. Which was immediately greeted by a hug by Mama. They also hugged each other tightly.
"Either. Congratulations to ...."
"David is more handsome," said the woman.
"Thank you, Auntie," I said with a smile.
"Please enjoy the dish yaa .. made just relaxed," said the man.
I picked up a menu for Mama, while she was having a good conversation with other friends.
When I returned to the table, suddenly my steps stopped when I found a woman I knew very well.
Yes, even if you have met once. I have been very familiar with his voice. How he nagged me that day is still clearly recorded in memory. His voice with the look of his face.
But this time he looked different. His voice sounded spoiled.
Very different when dealing with me.
Basic acting!
I puffed out my chest, then walked wide towards Mama.
"Ma ..," called me while putting the plate on the table right in front of Mama.
Mom stopped the conversation for a moment. Looking up at me who was still loyal stood beside him. Smiling gently. "Thank you" he whispered.
After that, Mama gestured me to sit next to her.
I nodded, smiling kindly at the woman. He retorted, an aura of awkwardness on his face.
Sometimes Tasya fix her hair, then her hands turn on the gold-colored dress that adheres perfectly to her body.
I admit, Tasya has a beautiful body. Unfortunately, that was not enough to tempt me.
Anyway, we've agreed not to be in touch with each other, right?
"Hi! How are you?" ask her in a soft voice.
"Okay" I replied briefly. Then I turned my eyes around the room. It seems that the young people who come to this party, none other than children who are ready to get married.
His parents deliberately invited them to be betrothed. Minimal to get to know each other to their fellow children who are still alone.
There-there was, and Mama became one of those participants. Participant parents who match their children who are still single like me.
"This is it, David. Aunt's only son. You've met, haven't you, Tasya?" ask Mama.
I glanced at Mama.
"Yes, Aunt. Already ...he's a good man. There must be a lot of girls in line yeah ..," Kekeh Tasya.
"Ah, the evidence is still single" said Mama.
What the fuck try?
"David's just the time, Aunt, the picky one. He'll be handsome, well-established and mature. Must have chosen a lot."
"What about Tasya?"
"I mean, Auntie?"
"Your assessment of this Aunt's son. You've met, haven't you?"
"Oh, that's ... Tasya mah is like a pebble, Aunt, to David. He's the way the diamonds are."
Uh, fuck him.
"Isn't it because you have a boyfriend?" my ketus.
Mama and Tasya both glared at me.
