HEY JUN

01

Juna found his mother daydreaming in front of a calendar neatly displayed on the wall of his house. Whether since when Bu Tias, Juna's mother stood there, sighed many times without even blinking a single blink.

Juna scratched his still-wet head. There was nothing strange about the calendar at home. Black on the effective date of work and red on the date of work holiday.

Juna was curious about what his mother was doing. Because Bu Tias just silently stared at the calendar. Couldn't his mother count day by day second like mimi KD's title song? or maybe his mother is looking at a list of countless debts? If so, it looks like Juna must be ready to sell his motorcycle to pay the debt.

Apparently Juna's curiosity is getting more and more. It is true the saying. Shame to ask, perverted on the way. Shame voiced, perverted in mind.

Juna who had just come out of his room in a sports shirt suit chose to immediately walk over to his mother. Juna does not want Bu Tias to take something if too long daydreaming.

"Emak. What's the breakfast menu today?" ask Juna, as usual he will make a melee in the morning with the reason that his quiet house becomes crowded.

Ms. Tias did not answer, she still faithfully looked at the calendar before her.

"Emak. What's the breakfast menu today? Juna has morning teaching hours" Juna said again.

"Today's your birthday, Jun" said Bu Tias speaking without turning towards Juna.

Juna gulped. The feeling of his originally bright heart turned grim. Juna believes that his mother will start a drama in the morning that will make them argue.

Juna does not remember his birthday. Usually Diandra, the girl who became her lover since five years ago, will call her at exactly 00:00 on her birthday. The girl had always been the first to wish Juna a happy birthday.

But not for this year. The love story of Juna and Diandra had to run aground two months ago. Exactly the day after Juna proposed to Diandra to Pak Narto, his father.

Mr. Narto rejected Juna's proposal for minimal financial reasons. He knew that Juna was only paid one hundred and fifty thousand rupiah per month from the High School where he taught. Pak Narto thought that Juna would not be able to provide for his son properly. However, Mr. Narto loved Diandra so much that he did not want to see Diandra suffer if he married Juna.

"Jun.." Bu Tias's call resuscitated Juna's daydream.

"Your life is now even thirty years old" continued Bu Tias, sounding a sad tone as he said that.

"Oh, yes, Mommy. Today is Juna's birthday, huh? Oh my!!! How could Juna forget it was his birthday?" exclaimed Juna and he immediately got up to hug Bu Tias from behind.

"What cook mac? Juna got a gift?" ask Juna.

Bu Tias is back.

"Mak... Moms... Juna asked from earlier. Why did Mom just shut up?" ask Juna again.

"When did you bring Mom's daughter-in-law, Jun?" ask Bu Tias.

Gleck...

Juna bit her lower lip. Exactly according to his assumption. His mother would ask for this. Juna loosened his embrace while thinking what answer Juna would give her Mom. Juna does not want to see his mother sad because of the reason that has not been married until now.

Juna doesn't want to get married. He very much wants to get married. However, Juna was also self-conscious. Who himself? from which side is his family? Juna who is only the son of a poor farmer, working as an honorary teacher with a mediocre salary certainly does not have a plus in the eyes of prospective in-laws.

Which parent wants their child to live in poverty? Especially the class of Mr. Narto whose note is good is oil reduction in village B. Surely he will sort out the prospective husband for his son.

Juna realized that he was nothing compared to Arya, the man whom Pak Narto chose to be his son-in-law. Physically, Juna is far less handsome. In the wallet, Juna is much less thick.

Juna's job as an honorary teacher in a school in the countryside is certainly far inferior to Arya's job, which notes that the son of a tobacco magnate in his village. Diandra will be much more compatible with Arya than with her.

"Seek Dian's getting married. When are you gonna catch up with him, Jun?" asked Bu Tias again and now the clear grains had come down to wet his cheeks.

"Just pray, Mother" replied Juna shortly.

"Mommy.patient yes. Maybe Juna's soul mate is still in school or Juna's soul mate is still guarded by others. Mother should not be sad. If it's time, Juna will definitely get married" replied Juna steadily when in his heart he also doubted his words.

"Emak doesn't want to know, Jun. Mom wants you to get married soon. Give me three months from now. Bring me the mother of a future ghost! No need to be beautiful or rich. The important thing is that she is female, kind and affectionate with you" said Bu Tias while counting the date to mark the deadline for Juna to find a mate.

"A. a... What, Mom? Three months? Who do you think Juna is?" juna protest.

"You're Mom's son"

"Then?"

"Emak just gave the answer to your question" Ms. Tias replied lightly.

Juna patted his face. He did not think through his mother's words. Didn't Bu Tias digest Juna's question?

Juna stepped up with a gontai. He took a glass of water and sipped it slowly.

"Mak... Juna is not a sultan"

"Whose sultan are you?" sambar Bu Tias fast.

"Emak already knew Juna wasn't the sultan. Then why ask for such a strange thing?"

"Emak just asked to be brought by a ghost is not a strange thing"

"But within three months it's impossible, Mom! Where would a woman want Juna to be like this?"

"Eat him looking for a part-time job. You if there is no teaching hours must only sleep" said Bu Tias.

"Juna is tired, Mom"

"Capek what? do you know what if you teach? You're just sitting around letting your students wander the field"

Juna was silent because what Bu Tias said was true.

"Emak doesn't want to know. Three months from now, bring a potential ghost to Mom. If not." said Bu Tias hanging.

"If not, why Mak?"

"Marry you to Buizah"

"What??? Don't joke, Mommy!" peekik Juna's. His face instantly pale hearing the name Bu Tias mentioned.

"Emak wasn't kidding, Jun. My mother's decision was unanimous. Bring the mother-in-law or you marry Buizah" said Emak mengptimatum Juna.

"Emac... Juna is no joke either. Where does the wife come from in three months? Juna is not the sultan, Mak. Thin Juna wallet kayak sliced fried onion. Girls must be thinking of becoming Juna's wife" said Juna memelas.

"Emak receives no excuses. I don't want you to be an old virgin, Jun" said Mother made Juna even more frustrated.

"Juna is still thirty years old, Mak. No need to worry...."

"What did you say??? Mom's been worried since you were twenty-seven but never married. Long-time dating but failed marriage as well" Mother's lips like a needle prick that stuck in the heart of Juna's

Juna took a deep breath. He immediately got up and took his bag and said goodbye to Bu Tias. The clock has shown at half-time seven in the morning. Juna chose to end his debate session with Bu Tias and chose to immediately leave for Scholar High School, where he taught.
