Guardians of the Heart #2
Chapter 25
“Oh, Darling, Mamah is glad to hear it!” exclaimed the Lieutenant's mother while hugging me back.
“Doain yes, Mah.”
“Aamiin, Mamah always pray for both of you.”
“Bi Aas, continue yes... I into first.”.
Mamah grabbed my arm and invited me inside where Papah was watching the news.
“Pah, See who came?”
“Halo, Darling.”
“Pah.” I salim then sat down on the sofa next to Mamah.
“Say Yudha, she's our future ghost.”
“Mood!” I looked at Mamah with a red face because I didn't think Mamah would tell Papah about it.
“Waah.. Alhamdulillah, support when to stay in.”.
“Dieh, Papah!”
“Kan let quickly valid, if delayed again tar keburu change his mind again.”
“God will not change your mind again, Pah.” I said timidly making the two Lieutenant parents smile.
“Yes when?”
“Some Mas Yudha only.”
“What is up to me?”
I turned my body to see the Lieutenant half-running down the stairs.
“That Papah nanya when to be denied it, let it really be a ghost do not be a mulu candidate.”
The Lieutenant smiled at Mamah's words.
“Kekey says it's up to me?”
“Iya, Kekey says it's up to Mas Yudha,” Mamah replied with a big smile.
“Then it is, just now yuk!”
“Mas Yudha!”
“Hahaha, he says it's up to me, if it's up to me anyway want it now.”
“Iiih... yang,” said I whispered a little with a red face hearing them talk about our marriage.
“Oooh... later he said, Mah, if he had given the code Yudha directly said Mamah same Papah to ngesah-in.”
“Ya have the codes not for long! Later if you have married just stay here on the second floor is special for you, we will not disturb it, Pah?”
“Iya, later we renovate again so you are comfortable, or if you want to be independent is also okay, you can place the house in Buah Batu.”
“Oh, no-no-no!” exclaimed Mamah seriously staring at Papah, “Yudha often duty out, Kekey must be afraid if alone at home, mending here only Mamah nemenin if Yudha does not come home because of duty.”
“Your friends Kekey or Kekey who nemenin Mamah nih?”
“Yes, mutually reinvent.”
“Hahaha.. yes already, later we renovate the top floor.”.
“We are looking for new furniture as well.”
Me and the Lieutenant just looked at each other speechless seeing his parents so eager to prepare everything, we could only smile shaking each other's heads. Until the Lieutenant finally stood up and pulled my hand to follow him.
“Where are you?” mama asked to see us leave them.
“Mamah continued to chat with Papah about the top floor, Yudha wants the codes first with the prospective wife.”
“Mas Yudha!” I immediately hit his arm which just laughed while continuing to lead me to the back, O God! Surely my face is very red now especially the parents of the Lieutenant was laughing to hear it.
“Iiih.. Mas Yudha shyly.”
“Hahaha.”
We are currently sitting on a gazebo near the koi Papah fish pond.
“Lagain we are not yet official.”
“Who said? We are official kok.” I looked at the Lieutenant while raising an eyebrow.
“You just choose to be Kekey my future wife or Za my lover.”
“Cheat! Hahaha.”
“Cock cheating, it's you who told my friends that you're my future wife.”
Hearing that I felt defeated and could only snort laughing looking at him, “If Keyza?”
“Well that's what else..if it's all complete, Keyza is my lover and my future wife.”
“Looks like I have no other choice.”
I smiled looking at her joyful face, for a while I enjoyed looking at her radiant face like that, it had been a long time since I had seen her like this smiling and laughing with my heart.
I stayed in Sukajadi until 8pm and then drove home with the Lieutenant on a motorbike with a backpack containing clean clothes that were blocked on my back. Once a week he would go home in dirty clothes and return to the mess in clean clothes for a week.
“Later if you are married, Mas Yudha came home once a week as well?” I asked as I stared at the Lieutenant's backpack lying on one of my porch chairs.
“Yes, if you are married later every day home.”
“Kan Far Sukajadi-Batujajar.”
“Let's bring the car alone so it can pass the toll so not too far.”
I smiled at her, somehow seeing Mamah and Papah who were excited to talk about where we would live after marriage made me follow the spirit of imagining our marriage.
“Actually we could have stayed at the Kopassus complex after the wedding later so I could go home at any time.”
“But pity Mamah same Papah already eager to renovate the top floor of all.”
“Yes, we will slowly talk to them. We can go back to Sukajadi once a week nginep there all nengokin our parents.”.
“Continue nginep here when? If you keep it in Sukajadi continue!”
Me and the Lieutenant were shocked when suddenly the sound of mother coming out of the house followed by Dad and Dirga.
“Mother? From when..”.
“Dirga had heard his brother went to Mas Yudha when he married back once a week? Keep Dirga tell Mom and Dad that Mas Yudha wants to marry.”
“Iiih.. base bawel!” I cried while staring at Dirga fiercely.
“So you guys really want to get married?” ask me Dad doesn't mind me and Dirga.
“God, Well, doain only,” replied the Lieutenant while standing and smiling.
“Not yet know when, Well, it was just a casual chat.” I'm trying to convince both of my parents that we're not getting married anytime soon.
“Yudha is still waiting for a signal from Kekey, if he has given a signal Yudha will certainly directly ask for blessing and permission to Father and Mother.”
“You use all the signals, it's already so!” mom exclaimed while hitting my arm making me grimace...this is actually who wants to marry anyway? Even the bad parents.
“Iya, Yudha is 30, you are also 25 years old enough to marry what else.”
“Iya tuh, Well, Kekey doesn't know still think about it he said.”
I glared at the Lieutenant who was not a believer and followed like my parents.
“Kakak mah pretended to be embarrassed even though he wanted to, if already left Mas Yudha only just found out he.”
“Mas Yudha will not dare to leave Brother again, just look if you dare to leave!” I stared at the sharp Lieutenant making him laugh.
“Udah ah! I want to call Dimas first, he must be happy to hear this news.”
“Dad also wants to call Juang.”
“Bu! Yeah! We don't know when we're getting married!” My cries seemed useless because now they have disappeared inside.
“Kak, don't forget to ask Dirga questions that were in RS at that time yes!” dirga exclaimed with a big smile and ran inside.
“Apaan?” ask the lieutenant in curiosity.
“That's the Dirga said his leather jacket.”.
“Hahaha... Still he nginces this jacket?”
I nodded with a smile.
“Don't this one, ah! Tar just buyin the new.”
“Whose jacket is it?”
“Hahaha... not loved but I accidentally this message is the same friend of people Garut.”.
“Ooh..”.
“Udah ah, I'm home yes scared overnight.”
I nodded in understanding as I followed him to say goodbye to my parents and drove him back to the yard where the Lieutenant's motorbike was parked.
“Now both of our parents already know that you are my future wife, so you can not run anymore understand?”
I smiled while embarrassed.
“This is all because Mas Yudha said to Mamah, so it is considered serious.”
“Hahaha... deliberately let you not run away.”.
I clucked while smiling shyly.
“So because you've become my future wife.” The Lieutenant put both his hands on my shoulders making me look up at him, “I will leave a sign that you are now officially mine.”
The deg!
My blood rippled, my heart beating crazily as the Lieutenant gave such a sweet and tender sign, which I never felt again after a year ago. The sign that made me smile to myself as I rolled around in the bed when I remembered it as if it was the first time we had done it, a sign that made me miss him even more tonight, and a sign that will bind us one step further into the future.
