I Can Without You

20. Tell Mama Wulan

Upon the arrival of Awan and Shofi in front of Surya's restaurant, Shofi was surprised. Because it is a restaurant that often himself and his friends make the choice for their lunch spot.

"Loh, Mas, so this is Mas Awan's papa's restaurant, huh?" shofi asked in surprise after he opened his helmet.

The clouds smiled widely, already expecting Shofi's shock from the start.

"Yes. Yuk. I know my father Mas," said Awan who began to get used to calling himself 'Mas'.

"Yes, Mas," Shofi replied.

Awan and Shofi then stepped into the restaurant owned by Surya.

"Eh, My Cloud. Welcome," said one of the waiters at the restaurant who already knew who Awan was.

"Thank you. Papa is there, right?" reply Cloud at once asked.

"There you are, Mas. Please go straight to the boss room. Or do I want anterin?"

"No, thank you. First, if so."

"Yes, Mas. Go ahead" said the waiter.

"Come, Shofi," Awan asked Shofi.

"Yes, Mom."

The clouds then invite Shofi to go directly to the room Surya.

Geck. Geck. Geck.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Pa," said Awan as he opened the door of Surya's room, after first knocking it earlier.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Uh, you, Wan. Come inside!" reply Surya.

The clouds then enter the room Surya followed by Shofi behind him.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Om," hail Shofi.

"Loh, there's Shofi son too tho. Wa'alaikumsalam. Come on, come on in."

Surya then woke up from his seat and welcomed the arrival of Awan and Shofi.

"We're sitting on the couch here!" bring Surya.

Cloud and Shofi nodded their heads. The two then followed Surya who had first sat himself on the sofa in the room Surya.

"Sit here" said Awan asking Shofi to sit next to him.

"I-iya, Mas," Shofi replied quietly.

Shofi then sits himself next to the Clouds. While Surya sat on the single sofa next to them.

"Well, what a surprise you two came to Papa's place. There's good news, huh?" ask Surya.

"Alhamdulillaah, Dad. Shofi had already received the Cloud's proposal," Cloud replied with a happy smile.

"Alhamdulillaah," said Surya who also felt happy. "Okay, meaning after this we run the next plan to tell your Mama, Wan."

And Shofi could only round his eyes seeing the reaction shown by Surya. The clouds looked towards Shofi then smiled.

"Not to be surprised. Kan Mas had told you that Papa already knew about our problems and he was very supportive of our good intentions," said Awan.

"Eh, i-yes, Mas."

For some reason today Shofi often stammered in talking. Probably because of the effects of nervousness.

"Calm down, Shofi boy, Om knows everything. And Om also greatly blesses the goodwill of you two to get married. Don't worry, Om promised to help you convince your mother Awan later," said Surya.

"Thank you very much, Om," said Shofi, feeling very grateful in his heart.

"Together, son Shofi. You two haven't eaten, have you? In a moment, Om asked Om's officer to bring us food."

Shofi nodded his head slowly. Surya then walked towards the door. Calling one of his employees then asking him to bring food for the three of them.

In the evening, finished dinner.

"Ma, sit down first," said Surya while holding Wulan's hand who was about to stand up to clean the dirty dishes.

"Hmm? What the hell is it, Pa?" wulan asked confusedly, but still obeyed her husband's order to sit back in his chair.

"Someone wants Cloud to talk to Mama and Papa" said Awan.

Wulan frowned. Why do the clouds want to talk?

"What the hell is this really? What are you talking about, Wan? How to be so serious gini anyway," asked Wulan curious.

The clouds took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. The clouds spoke basmalah in his heart.

"Awan is getting married, Ma," said Awan.

Wulan until gawking so surprised.

"Alhamdulilla. Finally, Wan, want to marry you too" said Wulan so happy to hear the words of the Clouds earlier.

"Tell Mama, what's her name? Which boy? Do you know that girl?" ask Wulan then smile.

"Name's Shofi, Ma. He is Keinan's mother" replied the Cloud.

Duarrr.

The smile instantly disappeared from Wulan's face. Wulan felt very surprised at this moment. It felt like there was lightning suddenly striking in the daytime.

"Don't joke you, Wan," Wulan said softly.

Wulan really hoped that all he heard earlier was just a joke from the clouds.

"Master wasn't kidding, Ma. Awan wants to marry Shofi, Keinan's mother," repeated Awan so confidently.

Wulan again rounded her eyes. He really felt very surprised at this moment.

"No. This is impossible" refused Wulan. "Mama must have been wrong. This is all true."

With a lunglai Wulan then stood up from his seat. Slightly staggering Wulan began to walk away from the dining table.

"This is all impossible" Wulan said as he walked away.

"Ma, with the clouds first, Ma. The clouds aren't kidding, Ma. Clouds is seriously getting married to Shofi, Ma. Ma, Mama," called Awan many times, trying to convince him.

Surya immediately stopped the cloud who was about to run after the mother.

"Don't. Let Papa," stop Surya.

"Help the Clouds sure you're Mama, Pa. Clouds ask for help with Papa," Pinta Awan.

"Surely, Wan. Kan Papa also promised you Shofi. Papa will help make sure your Mama is as strong as Papa's power," replied Surya.

"Thank you, Pa," said Cloud.

"Yes, equally. You go to your room now. Pray, keep praying. Ask Allah SWT, may your Mama's heart be softened and your Mama's mind opened."

"Yes, Pa."

Surya then immediately followed Wulan to their room.

The clouds are filling her hair. Spitting his breath violently then rubbing his face with both palms.

"Give me ease, O Allah," the Clouds pleaded.
