Love for Zahra (END)

65. Pick up Uti

Early in the morning, Ega unceasingly contacted her fiance. He wanted to invite Zahra to pick up his northern eyes in Lawang.

This morning, Ega got a phone call from his uncle who lived there and told him that he wanted to return to live in Malang with his eldest son, who was none other than Papa Ega.

During this time, eyang uti lived with her second child who was in Lawang. His youngest son lived in another city because he married the original woman from that city.

"Why are you so upset, Ga?" asked the father saw his son look paced with a cellphone attached to his ear.

"This, Pa. Neleponin Zahra was not taken from earlier. Let me pick up the plan" the man replied.

"Night you didn't tell him?"

"Forgotten, hehehe," he replied with a laugh.

"Hem. Yes, just pick it up, later while in contact again on the road," proposed Papa Adnan.

"Yes, Pa. Come on," take Ega.

The two children and the father walked together to leave their magnificent home. Towards the Ega car that has been parked in the yard of the house.

Ega sat on the steering wheel, next to him the father sat comfortably. The man drove his car out of the housing complex, towards the crowded streets in the morning by various passing vehicles.

Along the way, there are many things they talk about. Including the request of the father to his son to immediately reduce his position leading their company.

"And Papa said later that I was thirty. It's still four years away, Pa," replied Ega.

"Papa sure, the promotion of the position that you glorify will never materialize, Ga," said the papa.

"Why is Papa so sure? Did Papa conspire with the head of the company I work for?" accuse Ega.

"Without Papa doing it, sooner or later it's bound to happen. Just calculate for yourself how often do you leave your responsibilities at that company?"

Ega pensively thought of his father's words. Come to think of it is true what his father said. Countless times it feels like he left his job to get his girl.

"Here you go, just follow your Papa's request. Sooner or later Papa's company will be handed down to you."

"If you agree to it. Papa will open a branch in Malang. We make the office here as the headquarters. Papa will take care of all his movements from the headquarters in Singapore. How's it?"

"I think about Papa's offer first" he replied.

"Blessed be this old man, son. You're the only one Papa has right now."

The two fell silent the rest of the way to Zahra's house. Busy with their own minds.

Arriving at Zahra's house, there were only the two girls' parents. Their two daughters and Zakia are at Aunt Dewi's house.

"Well, candidates besan, here why not ngabarin?" joking Father Irawan by greeting Papa Adnan.

"So I called my man-to-be. But he doesn't seem to know" replied Papa Adnan.

"Let's go monggo in first," Buda Ratih asked.

The four men entered the house. The three men took their respective seats on the living room sofa. Bunga Ratih went into the kitchen to make drinks.

"So actually I want to invite prospective ghosts to Lawang, pick up Ega. And if allowed, let him stay a few days there accompanying his messenger Ega."

"Hem. I see, yes. I'm going to go ahead. But if for my stay I still how yes, Mr. Adnan, they will still not be legal," replied Irawan's father.

"Just calm down, Mr. Irawan. I will take care of the father of my weathered bachelor. There will also be a messenger Ega. So be safe Mr. Ir's daughter in my house. How's it?"

"Thank the adaptation, Mr. Ir. After all, if they get married, Zahra will follow her husband" continued Papa Adnan.

"alright. I allow, I believe my daughter is safe at Mr. Adnan's house" replied Irawan's father finally.

"Zahra will be home soon. Wait a minute, sir, Le," said Mommy Ratih and sat next to her husband after serving cakes and drinks.

Not long after, the roar of the car's voice sounded from outside. After the voice stopped, two girls appeared from behind the door.

"Assalamualaikum," said the two in unison and answered simultaneously by the people in the living room.

"Here, Ra," call the father.

Zahra sat beside her mother after greeting everyone there.

"This is a loh, Ra. Papa Adnan both want to invite you to be invited to Lawang," said the father told.

"Hem?" his answer allowed a questionable look at the father.

"Yes, Nduk. Papa Sama Ega to pick up Ega's messenger at Lawang. All in the next few days you will also stay at Tidar's house" said Papa Adnan explained.

"Sana, Nduk get ready. Don't forget to pack some clothes to stay," ordered mom.

Without any objection from Zahra, the girl immediately climbed the stairs to her room. Change clothes and also prepare some clothes to carry over.

After finishing preparing the girl carried two bags in her right and left hands. Walk over to everyone gathered in the living room.

Seeing that Zahra was ready, Papa Adnan and Ega decided to leave immediately. Since the day started at noon and their journey seemed to be quite time consuming as well.

Nearly two hours drive they finally arrived at their destination. Several times stuck in traffic in the Karangploso area, right at the entrance of the Malang - Surabaya toll road. Also in the Singosari market area which is indeed a jammed subscription.

Ega parked his car in front of a two-story house in a residential area close to the Lawang market. There was an old woman playing with her granddaughter.

"Assalamualaikum" said Papa Adnan.

"Waalaikumsalam," the old mother replied and saw who had come.

"God, my son. I'm lek ngenteni kaet maeng isuk, lagek teko saiki. Let's go, son," take the old mother who is none other than the mother of Papa Adnan.

(God, my son. I've been waiting for you, just come now. Let's go, son.)

Zahra followed Papa Adnan's steps and Ega lit up the mother.

"Sopo is ayu kui? Ayu tenan you, Nduk. Your genie sopo? How do you know your eroh karo?" ask the mother who describes herself as 'the 'ut.

(Who is this beautiful girl? It's so beautiful, Nduk. Whatis yourname? Uti never seems to know you?)

"Zahra, Uti," replied Zahra introducing herself.

"This is my man-to-be, ma'am. Beautiful yeah. It's not wrong to choose my son-in-law, Mom," replied Papa Adnan who made Zahra blush.

They all went into that house. Meet with the owner of the house Aunt Maya and Om Hendra who is none other than the younger brother of Papa Adnan.

"Mom's clothes have been packed from a few hearts ago, Mas. But we still haven't had time to take Mom to Mas Adnan's house," said Aunt Maya began to tell stories.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I've been almost a month back to Malang but still can not accompany Mom," said Papa Adnan apologized to the mother.

The atmosphere of haru enveloped the family room Om Hendra and Aunt Maya. Papa Adnan has repeatedly apologized for feeling like a bad boy.

Uti Salma, understand the condition of her son. He was so happy to forgive his son. And asking for one game is to stay with Papa Andan next.

The request was supported by Papa Adnan He was determined to do anything to make happy the only parents he had.

That day, Zahra spent with the Ega family. Learn to understand how each of them is. Trying to familiarize themselves with the family of her future husband.

Until finally, after the Maghrib prayer they say goodbye to return to Malang. Uti Salma also joined them.
