" What do you mean?, why do you say that?, is there a problem in the village?". Dila could read her mother's face, which was not okay.
" It seems so Dil, do you know about.", Siti did not finish her sentence because suddenly Arsy cried hysterically. Siti who had finished bathing Arsy immediately lifted him from the bath and hugged Arsy to be silent.
" Grandmother why this..kok suddenly cry kejer like this, what do you want mimi ASI again?, already hungry again yes dear, briefly wear clothes first, then later drink breast milk again", muttered Siti while holding Arsy in her arms.
Siti lay down Arsy who still continues to cry on the mattress and put on clothes, telon oil, and other oils that make the little Arsy's body smell very fresh. The smell of a baby.
" Cup..cup..cup..cup for a while, baby, just wear clothes, let it warm, then continue to drink ASI, it's look, mom is ready". Siti kept trying to keep Arsy quiet as her hands moved quickly to put clothes on her granddaughter.
Done dressed Arsy in Dila's seat and immediately given ASI. As a result Arsy immediately silent, and silent because his mouth is full of input sources of his livelihood.
Dila's right hand as Arsy's head pad, while his left hand used to pat Arsy's butt slowly. To make Arsys feel comfortable and peaceful.
" What did you really want to say?, Dila doesn't know anything yet, no one has told Dila Bu the same story, about what?", asked Dila again.
The atmosphere in the room was now silent, only the sound of the sweetness of Arsy's tiny lips was occasionally heard.
" So out of the same park you and Ms. Fatma, suddenly mother was pulled by her father and invited to enter the room. Your father does not know which jinn suddenly get angry is unclear. Even though yesterday your father agreed - agreed - mother permission to stay here for a few months, but suddenly your father forbid mother to stay here for a long time, said your father you are surrounded by good people, you are surrounded by good people, so no need to worry, there are many who take care".
" Said you already have a husband, who is responsible for taking care of you, while your sister who now must be guarded, he said should not be favoritism, love, we used to take care of you as well as possible when you were a girl, now even mom and dad have the same responsibility towards Dita".
" Especially said your father, there are men in the village who are well established and old enough who like your sister, that's why you have to be more careful in guarding Dita, not to let your guard down and let down, because Dita's still in school".
" You know for yourself, Dita is still very innocent, just like you were in High School, never been dating. But your father said there was a man who had openly expressed his love for your sister, and said he was ready to wait until Dita graduated high school, if indeed when he was still in school, Dita was forbidden to date".
" Do you know Dil, who is that man?, who knows Dita once told you about a young man?, your father did not tell mother at all about the name, or the initials of the young man. Just saying that the young man is old enough and already established".
Dila frowned looking at his mother's face, his mother looked serious and was not joking. But who was that young man?, all this time Dita never once told him about the opposite sex, because Dita was the same as she used to be, banned from dating while still in school.
That's why Dita never once discussed men, although there may be some male friends who approached her, but Dita never overbehaved, all the same, only considered friends.
" Dita never told about the same man Dila Bu, what is the reason why Dita could not sleep well all night because of the man's love statement?", Dila began to second-guess.
" It's the mother who lives with Dita and understands who Dita's friend's name is. Have you ever listened to Dita's talk about men?", Now Dila has been made more curious.
Siti shook her head, as she remembered Dita had never discussed about her male friend, besides Dita's friend was not as much as Dila's friend before. Dita prefers to confine himself at home, rather than socializing and following social activities like Dila first.
There are several factories in the area, but UMK is still too small, so the young productive age mostly depart to wander.
Most of them the nomads came home with success, so many succeeding generations are eager to imitate the footsteps of their predecessors. One of them is Dila which is often an example for young people/gamblers who want to become nomads.
Dila who was successful after working in a big city, managed to achieve his goals, managed to become a successful female entrepreneur, and managed to obtain a rich male soul mate. In addition, it was reported that Dila's husband bought rice fields and yards for his parents. Making many village girls graduated from High School/SMK follow in his footsteps to become a nomad.Padahat they do not know what kind of struggle Dila at the beginning .
" Then we just ask Dita later when Dita is back. Or let Dila who asked me first slowly, mother seems to be in a bad mood, because my father did not give my mother permission to stay here longer".
" So later let Dila first chat with Dita, later the new mother will be Dila dila tell you", said Dila while patting the back of Arsy who had finished drinking ASI, to immediately belch.
" Yes already then, because Dita is still another year of school, hopefully the established young man really wants to be patient waiting until Dita graduated, he said, let Dita get a husband close to home. Mother does not want all daughters mother taken away by her husband. Surely mother and father will be very lonely if both daughters mother get a husband far away. Later who will take care of the mother and father at the time of our twilight, if all live in a distant place".
Dila felt guilty because she was now far from her hometown. True, his mother said, all parents would want their children to be and live close to him, so that they are not lonely when they are old.
But how else, Dila's soul mate in Jakarta, already has a home and as the company leader, so inevitably as a good wife, Dila must follow the husband living in Jakarta.
" You haven't had a bath, have you?, since the fall beside Arsy continues?, now you take a shower first. Let Arsy be with mom first, want me to take him to the side garden, pity him if in the room continues".
Siti grabbed Arsy's tiny body and carried him outside the room. Dila became aware of his daydream.
Dila has not bathed since morning, her body feels sticky because this morning she was sunbathing with Arsy.
" If there is a well-established young man from the village who likes Dita and is very ready to get married, is not it better, Dita does not need to work as hard as I used to, Dita said, because the rice fields and the father's fields are wide enough, and produce. The life of my father and mother is certainly more than enough, not to mention the monthly money I send".
" If the young man is really well established, mending Dita is told to marry only after graduating high school, his age is 18 years more when she graduates later, her future husband who is well established will certainly be able to meet her needs. What else to worry about?", thought Dila as he walked into the bathroom.
" Just right.., at least if it is like that, Dita does not need to feel difficulties and distress like I used to be, very lucky Dita who will be able to stay close to the father and mother, who will be able to stay close to her father and mother, if there was a young man like that who was ready to marry me, maybe now I am not here, do not know Mas Indra let alone his family. No need to feel the difficulty at the beginning of the overseas", Dila's mind continues to dream.
" Isa..what the heck Dil, you are mostly fantasizing, instead of being grateful to have a very good husband and in-law. Even wondering like a person who is less grateful", Dila clucked her own head while chuckling in the bathroom.
Though the men who like his sister are young men who used to love him as well, only they used to be nothing, still equally struggling to achieve the ideals. And both struggle to raise the family.
Unlike the current situation, where both have been successful, and managed to achieve their respective goals. It's just a pity destiny doesn't bring them together for a match.
