JODOHKU CLASSMATE

MOTHER'S ADVICE

At 6am mom picked up Dana at the aunt's house. Clouds and Dana were ready to return to their city that very day. Mama who already knew if Awan was at his sister's house was suddenly giving news to Aunt Hesti. The two of them were quite happy to hear their children had already started to get close by themselves.

"Well, ready?" ask Aunt Santi on the clouds. The cloud kissed the hand of the woman in front of him. Aunt Santi came with dad Dana and his sister.

"Aunty," Awan answered Santi's aunt's question kindly.

"Aunty's been calling your mama all night if you want to go home with aunty." The clouds just smiled and nodded in a sign of understanding. They then say goodbye to Aunt Ari and her children.

That morning, the atmosphere of the streets in Jogja was quite quiet. Maybe because the day is still quite early, so there are not many vehicles that pass.

In the car, Dana's mother sat next to the woman's father. In the middle row of the car there are Dana, Awan and Niko Dana's sister. It was the first time Awan met the Dana family in full. He was quite awkward with that atmosphere.

"What is your job, nduk? smoothly?" ask Dana. The woman simply agreed to her mother's question briefly.

"How are you Wan?" my mother asked the clouds.

"Alhamdulillah smoothly aunty,"Awan smiled at aunt Santi's question.

"What year's the car, sir?" The clouds open a conversation with Dana's father. Before long, they seemed to be busy chatting about automotive. The cloud even asked about the funiture of the car inside. Several times his sister also chimed in on the answer to the Awan question.

The clueless Dana just listened to the conversation of the three of them. He did not understand since when the conversation between papa, Niko and Awan became very crisp.

"You like automotive?" Dana whispered a little asking the Clouds.

"I play in the car really know, I used to want to buy this car." Dana just frowned hearing Cloud's words.

After 2 hours of travel, send them to the small town. Dana opened the window when she reached the road near the rice fields that still looked beautiful and cool.

"Wellcome home!" dana said while breathing the morning air that was outside.

"Is Wan your home?" said Dana who was still looking out the window while enjoying the wind that hit her. She had never even been to her sister's house.

"At least another 10 minutes until." Answer the Cloud to Dana. He noticed Dana's childish behavior.

"Cold brother, close ah! like a little kid." Dana's sister closed the window that Dana had opened. The woman snickered and bent her face. The clouds laughed hearing the sister and brother quarrel.

Clouds also have a sister whose age is only 1 year below it. He and his sister also often quarrel like Dana and his sister. But the difference is, Tata Clouds sister who acts like a child. Meanwhile, here's Dana acting like a child.

"You're like Tata!" The clouds still laughed seeing the two sometimes hitting each other. Dana was really very ignorant of her sister. The clouds found another side of the woman he had always thought was cold.

"Your sister? it's different, I'm older."

"What's older? basic bocil! I think it can work. Hu!..." Said Dana's sister Niko. Dana then hit her sister with a pillow in the car.

"Udah, shame it's you see the Clouds!" Mama stopped the fight between the two brothers.

After arriving at Awan's house, Aunt Hesti told them to sit in the living room chair. The woman prepared various types of snacks and sweet tea to welcome us. The clouds immediately rushed into the room and permission to clean themselves up.

"Can we go home together? make a pact?" ask Aunt Hesti to Dana.

"How's your girlfriend doing?" Dana almost choked when she heard the woman's question.

"Good aunt, Alhamdulillah,"

"Well, don't you go home with you? He's a city boy here, right?"

"Kak Vishnu is busy aunt, if the end of the month is a little busier than other days. Tomorrow Monday there's an illegal auction, too, aunt." (Who works in this field seems to understand the point?)

"Oh like that," Aunt Hesti only nodded her head if she understood Dana's explanation.

After that, Dana and her family decided to go home.

"Is that busy enough to not take you?" mommy to her son when in the car.

"The name is also work ma, not everyone can be as free as Dana if the holiday."

"But the name is male if love is sure to be done all things. He can go home too. He's willing to let his girlfriend go home with another man." Mama sneered at Vishnu's sister. Dana just silently heard the sneer from her mother. He actually agreed with my mom. But he also could not mock Vishnu in front of his mother.

Dana didn't tell me about the Clouds that came home with her yesterday. He does not want such a small thing will make brother Vishnu misunderstand him. The last time he told me about Awan, Vishnu's response was not very good. Sisnu like not to like the clouds.

"You're the one who's looking for a serious man" Mama told her beloved daughter.

"Sir Vishnu is also serious ma, after all he and Dana have known for quite a long time. Sad's brother knows him too." Dana tried to defend Vishnu's brother in front of his mother.

"Have you been taken to his house? Meet her parents?"

"Yes not yet, I'm dating for only 2 months."

"You're 2 months, you want 2 years. If you have a boyfriend, you should be known. That's serious. After all you have been 23 years old! Wait until what age is the marriage?"

"Ma. we've agreed not to talk about age and marriage."

"Yes, but your mother is getting older, she wants to have grandchildren! If you are seriously married. The work is well established, your house says Vishnu already exists. What else are you looking for?"

Dana thought a little about the talk from her mother. What his mother said was true. Actually, he also wondered why Wisnu's brother was reluctant to bring him to be introduced to his parents.

"Awan who has been dating for 4 years just not married, he has been dating for a long time even. If Dana's only 2 months." Dana's trying to find a reason.

"If it's a different case. They're not that easy to get married." Dana frowned not understanding.

"You don't know if they have different beliefs?" mama continued her sentence.

Dana was a little surprised to hear that. He kept wondering if that was the cause of the two breaking up a few days ago. The clouds never told him this. Dana also did not want to interfere about the relationship between the two.
