JODOHKU CLASSMATE

MISUNDERSTAND

"Astaughfirullah's..."

"Ma!" Dana and the Cloud tried to stand up. They were shocked to see their family coming. Clouds and Dana are like being caught doing the no-no.

"You're nothing!" said Papa Clouds who looked angry. Dana looks confused looking for words to explain the incident to her parents. Seen in front of the door Tata sister Cloud also looked in shock.

"Here you!" Papa Cloud dragged the Clouds out of his room. He wired the ears of the Cloud mercilessly. Dana just shut her mouth looking at the cloud that looked in pain.

"Well, reward, pardon reward, don't pull it. This is a misunderstanding." The clouds are in pain. Mama Awan who still looked shocked seemed to follow the two of them followed by Tata.

"Ma," Mama looked angry at Dana. He locked the cloud room from the inside.

"Why are you the Cloud?"

"Mama misunderstood, Dana did not say anything about him. Nih, Dana this scramble is the same Cloud." Dana picked up a package of food that was still lying on the floor.

"Call for room sampe? what are you doing here anyway? shouldn't you be in the office? you said to mom yesterday you can't go home because you're busy! busy like this you mean?" She looked very angry at Dana.

"Ma, by God, I don't think of the Clouds. He had a fever yesterday, kept Dana by chance here. The clouds almost fainted outside if Dana didn't help me, ma,"

"Don't take God's name, do you think you believe? the clouds are healthy like that. Mama's ashamed of her son like this. What would hesti say if you saw you like this? failed mama didikmu you. This is what you've always been afraid of if you go wandering like this. It's brought you the same association Jakarta, yes?" Mama's pinching Dana's hand. Dana was just complaining of pain because of it.

"Maa, please trust Dana. Really for whatever, Dana's still a virgin. Dana doesn't say anything about the clouds." Dana started prostrating at her mother's feet apologizing. He was really panicking because he had never seen this angry mama on him.

"Now my mom is asking you! how many times is it here?"

Dana just looked down not answering. He couldn't have said he'd stayed here more than once. Mama's anger may be mounting.

In the living room, the clouds sat down in front of his parents. Mama sat on the chair with a disappointed look at her son. Papa was still pacing back and forth rubbing his face rough regretting his son's actions. Tata just stood a little away from them. He was also afraid to listen to his father's anger.

"Is this how you do in Jakarta?"

"Papa misunderstood pa, Awan does not say anything with Dana."

"Father teach you religion, manners, teach you to be civilized! but here's the result Wan!"

"Wan, mama's glad you got along with Dana. Even when you were close and drove her to Bandung, mama was happy. But kalin's behavior really crossed the line. It's not time you guys were like that. My mom is disappointed in you."

"Ma, pa, the Clouds didn't do anything with Dana. We just scramble for food. Mama can ask Dana herself. I swear to God, the clouds can't macem with him." The cloud seemed frustrated to explain what had happened to his parents.

***

"Can't answer?" my mom said to Dana.

The woman was silent and did not answer her mother's words. "Follow mama!" Mama dragged Dana out of the room.

Mama sat her daughter next to the clouds. He just looked down and didn't say a word. The cloud that looked at Dana was terrified and then looked at the woman next to him. The clouds saw Dana's hand that looked red because it was pulled by her mother.

"You can't answer that, right? Now auntie asks you Wan! how many times Dana stayed here. How many times have you stayed at Dana's?"

"Three times. Dana stayed here 3 times. The clouds have never stayed at the Dana's boarding house. But the Clouds swore that the Clouds never once touched a aunt's son." The clouds were still staring at Dana's reddened hands. Somehow he felt very angry at the rude behavior that Dana received from her mother. Maybe he can understand the anger of parents over his son. But Dana and herself are completely innocent of this. He was disappointed why they didn't trust Dana and Cloud.

"Have answered, right? Come on and we're out of here." The clouds help Dana wake up. Cloud's gaze was completely disappointed and angry at his parents. He was also disappointed about Santi's aunt who did not believe in his son.

"Where are you guys going?" papa shouted at the Clouds which quickly went from before the four of them.

The clouds take the car keys and take Dana away from home. Santi's mother and aunt were silent to see the two of them leave.

Dana who had looked confused finally released Cloud's hand from her shoulder.

"Where are we going?" Dana stopped her steps.

"Follow it out."

"Do you want to make them angry?"

"Why did you just shut up like that? you don't see your hands are red?" The clouds raised Dana's hand. He then forced Dana to get into the car.

The clouds came in and drove the car.

"Women! you shouldn't have gone like this. If you know we're not wrong, you should explain it to them. Not gone!" Dana seemed annoyed with the Clouds.

"They won't hear our words Dan!" The clouds snapped at Dana.

The car the Clouds were driving was really fast on the highway. Several times Dana's body seemed slammed because the Cloud turned suddenly.

"Slow down, I'm scared." Dana holds the hand of the cloud. The cloud then looked towards Dana who closed her eyes while holding the barrier above the door. The clouds are moving his car.

Dana breathed a sigh of relief as the Clouds stopped after driving recklessly.

"We go to Bandung, only you can help us. If that doesn't help, I'll marry you!" Dana was shocked to hear the Cloud's words. The man drove his car back to the road. This time not as fast as before. Dana just kept quiet and didn't say a word. He just followed the clouds. He didn't want to argue with the man. Because Dana knows arguing with the cloud that is emotional will only make the atmosphere worse.

Along the way, there was no conversation between them. Dana and Cloud didn't bring a cell phone at all. The clouds just swept away the keys and wallet he always put on the middle table.

Their journey seemed very calm. The clouds turned the radio to break the silence.

"Are you sure about getting married?" Ask Dana to start a conversation.
