Two years after the marriage of Ayu, the mother held a celebration. This is for Diana's wedding.
Lucky for him to be married by the son of a batik businessman. In my house is just an endorsement in front of the penghulu. After that, we left for the city of Solo on the bus for the reception.
Diana's room was occupied by Fariz. While Rizki, Toni's room. Mother's burden is reduced again.
One evening, Fariz came home with an adult woman dressed in fashionable clothes, typical of office people.
"Assalamu'alaikum." They both said hello.
"Wa'alaikumsalam." We who were sitting in the TV room said at the same time.
Mas Fariz took his girlfriend into the living room and told her to sit down. The woman first greeted mother and then took turns with the four of us. Everyone sat in the living room preparing to hear the story of my mother's eldest son.
"Buk, introduce. It's Winda. I intend to marry her, if I can soon."
Mother who was waiting to hear Fariz's explanation, seemed ordinary. There was no surprise on his face.
"Oh, yes. What - where did his parents agree." Briefly clear the answer I gave them both.
After talking for a while, the woman handed over two large bags of crackles to the mother, then said goodbye, ushered in Fariz.

I noticed, every time there was an event, Tanri was always at my house. Like this afternoon after school, I saw my mother talking to her sister-in-law on the porch. I then touched both.
And after the man left, there was always a big event in my house. Like this time, mom invited some neighbors to help her cook. We are happy, because this way we can eat delicious typical of the people of Hajatan.
Justright. The next morning, the family dressed and took a car. Mas Fariz was wearing a black suit and wearing a matching color.
The car entered an elite residential area and stopped at a house on the side of the road that had parked several cars. Including his sister's entourage - his mother's sister.
We all went into the house that decorated the party. Someone directed me and my sisters to sit in chairs lined up in the courtyard with the roof of the tent. While mother and mas Fariz continued the steps to the main house.
"I received Windasari bint Mahmud's marriage with a dowry of cash of 1 million rupiah, paid in cash."
Sounding from the speakers installed at some point, the sound of Fariz uttering the wedding vows.
"How, legit?" The voice of the man came back to our place.
"Well." Right." The passions of many people echoed in the room and the sound system.
After that, looking out of the door, Fariz rode the battering of Winda who was paraded to the prepared pelaminan.
The procession went well. After enjoying the party dishes, one by one the guests retreat.
Fariz remained at the house of Missa. While we continued to the rental car to the house.

Stepping 2 years, replace me who graduated school. I was offered by a kos mbak to work as a mall saleswoman. But I refused it. Because, I think it is very tiring if you have to stand for 7 hours faithfully on the day.
I decided to work at a restaurant near my house as a waitress. Simply walk, so do not spend transportation money.
At 4pm my shift is over. I immediately packed my bag containing mukena and rice box.
Upon arrival at home, it turns out there was Tanri talking to his mother on the terrace. I'm astonished. This guy is always in my house after every school graduation or there will be a big event at my house.
'Will there be another wedding? Wh who? My time is it? Don't I have a boyfriend? Or mother?' Questions ran through my mind.
I greeted them as usual, then entered the house. Tired of walking all day. So, I take your time to lie in the room, after I finish cleaning myself.
Until one time I was getting a vacation, my mother invited me to talk in the living room after my sisters left for school.
"Sir, so far no one has been gape you? Do you have a boyfriend yet?"
I was stunned to find such a question. Because honestly I don't have a boyfriend. Although there are friends - boy friends who like me, but I still do not want to date. I don't like relationships that just go there without the concept of marriage. For me it is a habit that signifies immaturity.
"Ih, my mother is there - there is only. I haven't thought it was buk. Still want to mengumpulin duwit, let ndak ngrepotin ibuk. After all, I haven't graduated in a year."
Mom sighed as if she was weighing what she was going to say to me again.
"What kind of man do you like to be your boyfriend or husband?"
I really don't want to talk about this. But it seems like mom had other intentions.
"His father had a husband like his father. I don't like dating guys all the time. To me, they are not adults. After all, if you get married just graduated from school, it's hard. If the salary is small, how can you pay the contract? You can eat it already. If nebeng in my mother's house, I don't want to make my husband's delicacy. Whereas if I go with the in-laws, there's a fear of incompatibility. That's why I'll talk about marriage later. I want to focus on work and spend money."
Mother seemed to think as her eyes looked at the wall of the neighboring house right in front of the hallway of my home alley. I suddenly thought about my mother.
"Why isn't my mom getting married again? Has your father died long ago? No pa pa if mom wants to get married. What matters is the good man and the responsibility."
"Ha ha ha. You exist - there is. This mother is old. Overthumbered. Many children. Where would anyone want to? After all, I don't want the house your father bought to be occupied by another man. Poor your father and you. Let me just widow. Wait for all of you to marry."
I was shocked to hear the words mother. I was afraid that it was a sign and could happen.
"Hush. I said what the hell. Ilok Ndak. Moga I'm healthy, long life and happy."
"Goddess. Humans will eventually die, too, nduk. I just don't know the time." Relaxedly, I explained the meaning of the talk earlier. Then she continued talking about marriage
"Sister - your sister immediately married after leaving High School. Do you really want to get married? What if a rich man wants to marry you? You want a ndak?"
