Love Stories Overseas

Chapter 34

" Don't El have been here with all of us, when did El come in and pick up the bouquet?, the flower as it was planted in the side garden", inner Indra watched carefully El and the bouquet of flowers in her hand.

Indra looked back, seeing bi Ana and Bi Darsih smiling while whispering.

It turned out that the bouquet was made by the two of them earlier, when hearing the conversation of the two families and knowing that Mr. Indra was proposing to Dila, bi Ana and bi Darsih were very happy. And plucked the flowers in the garden beside the house that was in perfect bloom.

Bi Ana and bi Darsih arranged the flowers into a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and asked El to hand over the flowers, while teaching El to express his wishes. That El wants Dila to be his mother.

Because the two aunts knew, besides Dila was very fond of El, they also knew Dila very well, Dila was a good girl, polite, cheerful and excited.

There's no other better candidate than Dila to be El's mother. Because other women who had come home and tried to approach Indra, they were all not as sincere as Dila in loving and paying attention to El.

" What is the answer Kak Dila?, El is tired of holding the flowers", El's voice resuscitated Dila from her daydream.

" Would you talk to your father and mother first. We haven't had a chance to talk about anything before" said Dila feeling confused.

El looked at Dila disappointed with teary eyes, because Dila did not immediately receive the flowers. El felt his desire was not directly obeyed by Dila.

But Siti's voice distracts everyone from El.

" Mom and Father gave up the decision entirely on you Dil. For now, this little boy seems to need you more, than father and mother, we in the village can still live alone with our hard work. So if you want to accept this proposal, we are both sincerely born inwardly", Siti who has been silent and listening to others talk, now conveys her heart.

Siti could see the look on El's face that was disappointed because Dila did not directly obey El's desire to be her mother.

El is still very small and has no mother, making Siti's heart as a mother so touched. Although when traveling Siti intends to scold Dila when met. But that anger evaporated just like that when he saw that little boy who was still so innocent that he expected Dila to be his mother.

Hearing the words of his mother who said that they were sincere, Dila was impossible to reject Indra's proposal, this was all for his good as well.

" Then, Brother Dila wants to be El's mother, but on condition that El should be a good child, and also obedient, how, does El want ?". Dila looked at El affectionately.

El immediately hugged Dila and kissed her face.

" Of course, El will be a good and noble child, so is Kak Dila's bitch already El's mother?".

Everyone in the room laughed at El's question.

" Dila's sister El darling must first marry El's father tomorrow, then Kak Dila officially became El's mother" said Fatma.

After the family meeting, Toto and Siti are welcome to rest in the guest room, the clock is already showing at 5 pm, since the morning of traveling by car for 7 hours without stopping, without stopping, and when I arrived at Indra's house there was a family gathering, it was very tiring for Toto and Siti.

Dila was already standing in front of the guest room, she wanted to go in and meet her parents, but there was a fear of meeting them. Dila has been lying too much all this time. But after consideration finally Dila ventured to knock on the door of the guest room and go inside.

" Assalamualaikum father, mother.", Dila closed the door and approached her parents who sounded serious discussion.

Dila immediately bent his legs and apologized to his parents for all the mistakes that have been done, various mistakes, from small to very fatal mistakes.

Siti and Toto were still silent to see her daughter who was currently resting in front of them.

The daughter they were so proud of all this time, turned out to have done a lot of lies.

" Mom and father deserve to be angry and hate the same Dila, but father and mother must be willing to listen to Dila's explanation from beginning to end, he said, after that, the father and mother decided that they would continue to hate Dila or forgive Dila".

Dila also told me from the beginning Dila went to Bekasi. How was life there, and why Dila finally decided to go to work in Jakarta as a nanny.

Toto and Siti listened to Dila's story carefully, until the adhan maghrib was heard, Dila finally finished the story.

" So far, ever since you left home, your mother's feelings have always been bad, but you always say that you feel at home and feel comfortable living in the city. I just wish that what you said was true. And it turns out that all the concerns of the mother are not wrong, so during Bekasi you only sleep on a mat and a bag, you already feel the difficulty of living abroad Nak".

" I'm sorry this unworn mother and father, you have to fight to achieve your own ideals, mother can only pray for you to be a successful person, he said, and you achieved the goal you wanted".

Siti got out of bed and helped Dila stand up long enough.

" When did you wear glasses, and this is what's black-black on your left cheek?", Siti rubbed Dila's face that looked different.

Dila also explained why his musababnya changed his appearance.

" Since the incident.... Mr. Indra does not like beautiful and young maids, afraid to cause trouble again" said Dila.

" So Indra doesn't know what your real face looks like?", asked Siti.

Dila also shook his head.

" So that Indra said he loved you without seeing your true beauty, maybe he fell in love with you because of your love for the sincere El, I'm sure Indra will be more in love with you if you've seen what your real face looks like ".

Dila only grimaced hearing her mother's words.

Toto also stood up and invited his wife and daughter to pray Maghrib congregation first, after their prayers continued the conversation that had stopped.

The three of them sat on the long sofa that was in the room.

" Nak Indra's family and our family came from a much different social status. From the narrowest angle, you can see what this room looks like, and compare it to your room in the village. The extent of this is 3x your room, it was only seen from the spacious side of the room, a very small part, can know how far the difference between our families, he said, actually, I was afraid to make a message with a rich man, but they all loved Dila very much and expected you to be El's mother, so what can you do?, father?, it would be inappropriate for you to reject a well-done proposal from a respectable family".

" And tomorrow you will marry Indra, I see she is a grown man, even more mature than you. After becoming his wife tomorrow, you must obey your husband, because after marriage, a woman's paradise is no longer with her parents, but with her husband, you know that is Dil?".

" The soul mate is indeed the secret of God, sometimes it can be people who are close to us, it can also be people from far away places such as your soul mate, there are those who met their soul mate when they were young, he said, there are also those who have not been found until adulthood. No one knows, because God rules it".

" We as ordinary people can only pray and hope that God will bring us together with a good soul mate. And I think Indra is a good man, hopefully he can educate you to be a sholeh wife" said Toto.

Dila just silently listened to the advice before the marriage of his parents.

" You just don't know what Indra really is, she's a bitch, I just hate her so much, how can I be Sholehah's wife, if I get married just to get widowed status", inner Dila.

There was a knock on the door, Dila opened the door of the room, it turned out that Ana was knocking on the door of the room, telling me that all the families had gathered in the dining room, because it was time for dinner.

Dila also invited his parents to dinner with the Indra family.

Toto and Siti walk and welcome Indra to sit in the chair that Indra deliberately prepared.

The dining table is very large, with thick wood that is very sturdy, many chairs that surround the rectangular-shaped table. And when staring at the dining table, various dishes are available there, from rice, various kinds of vegetables, side dishes, and various fruits.

Now Siti understands, why Dila grew up and more contained, it turns out that what he ate here affects his growth and development. Unlike when living in a village that only eats rice and potluck dishes.

" Kak Dila where the hell?, El cali-cali earlier. El will practice call brother Dila so 'Mother Dila', bial tomorrow out of Dila lesmi so El's mother, El has pintel call him, do not forget", el's speech made everyone in the dining room laugh with El's adorable behavior.

" I'm sorry, Dila's brother had run out of kangen-kangen with his mother and father brother Dila, have not seen him for a long time, so Brother chatted for a long time, to forget the time".

Dila cupped her hands together in front of her chest apologizing to El.

" Okay El forgive, but with a scarf, brother Dila smooth bribe El first, El want gulame will make a delicious soupy bi Dalsih", El imitate Dila's style of speech to him this afternoon.

" Not yet his mother has imitated his style, willing to forgive but use the conditions, in fact you are my son or the village girl is actually El?", Indra protested inwardly.
