"If the man had failed before how could Yayah and Nda?" ask Irene.
Indi and Satria were silent. This time it was not his place to talk. Therefore, they are waiting for the answers of Dad Pandu and Mother Ervita first.
"I'm afraid of how, Rene?" ask Mother Ervita. Now Mother Ervita observed her youngest daughter. Because, the failed word used by Irene has an unclear meaning. "Gagal means du .. da?" ask Mother Ervita slowly.
Irene was speechless, before answering the intent of her Mother, she seemed to stare at the faces of her parents first. Although honestly there is fear for Irene as well.
"It could be, Mother," Irene replied softly.
Looks Dad Pandu and Mother Ervita look at each other. Then Mother Ervita invited Dad Pandu to give an answer first. However a father is a priest and a chief, his answers and views are very useful to his children.
Nevertheless, Irene secretly believed that her father was a wise man. Irene recalled two years ago, when her sister-in-law came to ask her sister. Yes, at that time Satria came to ask to propose Indi, although there was no blessing from parents. At that time only the view of Dad Pandu was very wise. This time, Irene was also very confident about her father.
"Whatever your spouse is, your sure companion is first and foremost one of faith. Have a strong foundation. Marriage is also the longest and most beautiful worship with our spouse. Therefore, I want my children to have a faithful companion. After that, of course, he must have a job, have good character," Pandu's father said.
Irene, Indi, and Satria both nodded their heads. Dad Pandu's answer is the same as always, always wise. Usually, there will be a negative stigma when questioned by widows or those who have previously failed to marry.
There are always special conditions that Dad Pandu prioritizes. First, is faith. Second, have good character. Third, have a steady job. While the status of single or not, family background, and so on are not so priority.
"Mother how?" ask Dad Pandu now.
"Yayah's answer represents Mother's answer. After all, Mother gets your Yayah when Mother sins a lot. Mother has many shortcomings. Mother is a person who failed in the past. Mother is not a widow, because Mother never married and also never divorced. Mothers are single mothers, Mother's fate line is much more depressing than those of widows. A widow is clearly visible who her ex-husband is, who is the father of the child she is carrying. While Mother does not."
Delivering it to his family and there Satria also made Mother Ervita's voice vibrate. At once Mother Ervita reflected to herself that she used to have many sins and shortcomings. Being a widow is not, but as a woman who is pregnant out of wedlock her fate is much more unfortunate.
"Mother is not a saint, my children. Many escapes, sins, and shortcomings of Mother in the past. However, see .. there is a good family, a family that loves Mother sincerely, a family that considers Mother not as a sinner but is considered as a family of her own. It was the Hadinata family. Family that does not judge Mother, but encourages Mother to continue to do good. Mother and your father would want such a thing as well. Don't judge people from her past" said Mother Ervita again.
Everyone there nodded their heads. Totally agree with what Mother Ervita said. Often people are too petty when judging the past of others. Feel the most holy and the truest self. The only true and holy is God.
"So, is this daughter of Jayah close to someone who failed in the past?" ask Dad Pandu.
"really?" ask Dad Pandu again.
Irene quickly shook her head. "The truth, Dad. Nothing yet. Just trying to ask Jayah and Nda. Irene later like Indi's mother, once there is a serious, Indi asked to meet Kayah and Nda."
Indi and Satria finally smiled together. In the past, before Indi there was never a man who was coming to the house. Once convinced, and Satria wanted to step into a more serious level then Satria came to the house. Delivering his good intentions directly to Jayah Pandu and Mother Ervita.
"Followed Indi's footsteps?" ask Mother Ervita.
"Yes, Mother. Well, if it's serious it's better to come home. Speak and express good intentions to Jayah and Nda. Do you agree with Mas Satria?" Now Irene asked her sister-in-law.
Satria who had been silent since then finally nodded slowly and gave an answer. "Yes, Rene. Good intentions should not be delayed. They also come empty handed. Never came and did not bring the blessing of Mas Satria's own parents. Fortunately, Father and Mother are willing to accept Mas Satria."
"Restu is workable, Sat .. You are a good, honest young man, and seem to love Indi very much. It has moved our hearts" replied Dad Pandu.
"Thank you, Dad. Satria loves Indi. Our prayers can age together like Jayah and Mommy. Have a harmonious home life. Up to kaken-inen-inen," said Satria. It means wanting to age together to become grandparents.
"Amale ...."
Now Dad Pandu and Mother Ervita guarantee it. He also hoped that the prayers and good wishes of his son-in-law would be plagues by God.
"Rene, Mas Satria is just giving advice. If there is a guy near you. Get acquainted first, understand how the character. No hurry. If you feel familiar and sure, immediately tell Daddy and Mommy. At least the old man who is close to his son. Especially for girls who must be more guarded," Satria told his sister-in-law.
Irene nodded her head. No offense to his sister-in-law's words. However, Irene took good advice from her sister-in-law.
"What Mas Iparmu said was right, Rene. Know first, until you understand what the character is like. Father prayed that the children of Jayah have a good husband. Can be a Controller and a Controller. Can lead and provide comfort for his wife and children later. The process of knowing the couple is long. Even those who have been married for a long time still and must know their partners," said Pandu's father.
Irene smiled again and nodded her head again. "Yes, Jayah. Thank you very much. Irene has a positive, open, supportive family. Surely Irene will do the advice and advice of Jayah, Mother, Mother Didi, and Mas Satria. Thanks a lot."
Irene was grateful because her family was not a stiff and disoriented family. But the family who think openly and also not easy to judge others. Irene must have done what her family had well advised.
