Nadeo entered the house with a cheerful face. It seems like he just came home to meet his girlfriend. The lover he loved so much. Happy face, whistling lips sign of joyful heart like getting unexpected gifts.
Ms. Ningrat who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, was indeed waiting for the return of her son. Yes, Nadeo. Especially if you do not want to discuss the matchmaking problem that has been said last week.
If Nadeo has not found another girlfriend or more clearly, women are fine in the eyes of Bu Ningrat, not like her lover who has been entangled in prostitution cases, he said, then ready Nadeo will return to the era of the 60s who are afraid of a matchmaking match.
"Nadeo here you are!"
"Yes Ma."
Nadeo who had wanted to climb the stairs and go to his room, but did not. He immediately approached his mother in the living room and sat facing each other.
"What's the matter Ma?" Tanya Nadeo softly.
Nadeo was sure his mother would want to talk to him about something important. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for almost midnight still waiting for him to come home.
"Where did you say last week that you haven't?" Ask Bu Ningrat directly without further ado.
"Where is Ma? Nadeo forgot, there was a lot of chatter last week." Ask Nadeo.
Honestly, actually Nadeo also did not know where the direction of Mama's conversation. A lot of things were discussed last week. Problems about the mall, on campus, or in the hospital. But not with the matchmaking problem, Nadeo did not have time to think about it. In fact, Nadeo had already forgotten about it.
"You're a forgotten pretender." Lontar Bu Ningrat who thought Nadeo's words were only joking.
Ms. Ningrat had no idea that Nadeo had completely forgotten about the matchmaking she said last week. Into the right ear out the left ear. Nadeo didn't bother him too much.
"Yes, there are a lot of questions Ma. Our mall problems are now competing with online stores or daily Nadeo on campus and hospitals."
"Eh uh not that. It's your problem, you've got a boyfriend yet?"
"Astaghfirullah Mama!" Excite Nadeo while patting the jidat. Nadeo did not end up thinking, apparently Mama really seriously want to find him a life partner. "Jeez Nadeo thinks what."
"Whatwhat? You are nyepelein. Denger, you are an adult, you want thirty years, not ABG anymore who can still spend the courtship, the road there the way here." Cletuk Bu Ningrat at length, "If not now, when would you like to thank Mama's daughter-in-law and grandchild? This mom stinks of the grave!" Bu Ningrat added again, reminding that he was no longer young, his age was close to 60, but could not hold a grandchild. While ines his brother Nadeo, has been married for five years, but has not been blessed with a baby. Bu Ningrat's wish was now on Nadeo.
"Don't talk about it dong!" Reply Nadeo.
"Well on, you said you didn't hear. You don't know what mom is, mom wants to hold a grandchild. Mbak ines mu also not filled, now Mama wishes you. Mama wants before mama picked up god, mama can feel what it's like to have a grandchild, like other mama's friends." The Light bu Ningrat.
"Yes Ma, it's only been a week, where it might be possible to immediately get a replacement." Killah Nadeo.
"Yes, therefore, Mama wants to recognize you as someone, who is certainly good seedlings, bebet, weights!" Said Bu Ningrat spirit.
"Who?" Tanya Nadeo was curious.
"Just beautiful and beautiful, they'll be here soon!"
"Whatever your mother!" Nadeo Pasrah. There was no point in arguing with her mother. "But nadeo has a condition ma!"
"What?" Tanya Bu Ningrat enthusiastically.
"Nadeo doesn't want a reception, doesn't want any guests, just a deal. And done in private!"
Madam seemed to think for a moment, then she smiled "No problem, what matters is you want."
"Okay, nadeo to the room first." Pamit Nadeo wakes up and goes to her room.
Actually Nadeo really wanted to reject this match, but Nadeo was helpless. Nadeo is very fond of Mama, especially Mama has heart disease. It was very difficult to refuse his request. Nadeo wants to bring his lover as his future wife.
...****************...
The steps of a beautiful and beautiful woman stopped at table number eight. The goal has come to the lover. Accompanied by her sweet smile, the woman with her dimples and teeth pulled out a chair and sat down, right in front of her lover.
"Wait a long time, huh Mas?" The woman asked in a friendly manner without stopping smiling.
Raya. Yes, Raya. Nadeo Arga Winata's. A woman who works as a designer and model, who also has a dark past. And will be looked down upon by anyone who knew him in the past.
Maybe that's not the case for Nadeo. Although Nadeo already knows about the past of Raya, but not once his love is reduced. Even there is a sense of love more passionate because of the comfort given by Raya.
"Not so dear." Nadeo replied while returning the smile of the lover. The sweetest and most sincere smile.
"Udah. I ordered shrimp 2 same as lemon tea" Nadeo had memorized the favorite food of the lover.
"Or I'd like a dimsum."
Not long after, their order came, two shrimp dimsum and two glasses of lemon tea were placed on the table by the waiter of the restaurant. The waiter in a red and black uniform kindly invited nadeo and raya to taste their orders.
"Please Mommy, Mas!" Said the servant friendly.
The waiter smiled and said goodbye. Nadeo and Raya also took chopsticks to taste the horseradish dimsum.
"You told me to come here to talk about what Mas is?" Tanya Raya inserts the dimsum into the mouth.
"You eat first, that's what I just said." Answer Nadeo.
Actually, Nadeo did not want what would be said to Raya, making the appetite of Raya disappear. Because there can be no women who are okay when they see a loved one getting married to someone else.
"Udah ah mas, by the way, make me curious know not?" Desperate Raya interrupted chewing food.
Nadeo was silent for a moment. Take a breath, then exhale it again. The weight!. It was so hard to say everything to Raya.
"I want to be fooled by Ray." Lirih Nadeo's.
Instantly dimsum who want to enter the mouth of the Kingdom, put again. In an instant the appetite of Raya was gone.
Actually Raya is not surprised by that. Because Raya herself knew, if Bu Ningrat never liked her, more precisely with the past that Raya had. Raya is not angry. Raya knows all mothers want the best for their children, and Nadeo's mother is no exception.
Raya is also self-aware, with her dark past it is very difficult to be accepted by a male family. Whoever it is. Because it is a nature of women, if women are seen from their past, while men are seen from their future.
It hurts!. Maybe that's the right word to describe Raya's feelings now. Years of romance, but still can not be together due to the absence of blessing from parents.
"You accepted, didn't you?" Tanya Raya softly make sure. "I've told you how many times you are, it must be the best for you. All parents want the best for their children, but Mama is no exception. I don't deserve it for you!"
"But I want you Ray." Said Nadeo in a clear tone.
"Mas, please don't think about yourself just yet. Don't be selfish. Mas Nadeo thought that by opposing the blessing of parents, we would be happy? Not mas!"
"So how should I go, Ray? I don't want to lose you."
"Other than me Mas, whatever we do will not change Mama's will. have been many years Mas, marry the choice of Mama, I'm sure you will be happy Mas."
"No! I'm happy with you, I don't want to lose you, no matter what." Nadeo remained equally determined.
"What do you want anyway?"
"Don't stay with me" Pinta Nadeo, "Stay with me. I promise I'll do anything important we can be together."
"By way?" tanya Raya Doubt.
"Whatever it is."
"Don't be crazy!"
"I'm crazy, I'm crazy about you!"
"Whatever you do, don't let your mom be disappointed and sad." Please Raya.
"Sure!" Nadeo said, "Originally you will not turn away from me. We'll get married too."
Actually Raya is a gentle and kind woman. At a time like this he was still thinking about the feeling of Bu Ningrat, who obviously did not like him. Though he could have instigated Nadeo, to elope. But Raya still has feelings.
And because of his mistakes in the past, making Raya have to swallow the bitter pill now. The mother of the one he loves does not accept it.
Raya did all that is not without reason, Raya who was working at a cafe, had to be willing to sell herself to a striped man to finance her college. Raya doesn't know who to ask, because she doesn't have anyone.
The salary where Raya works is not enough to finance her lectures, while Raya is very eager to become a professional designer.
Despite having a bitter past, did not make the career of Raya destroyed. Even now Raya also pursue the world of modeling. Maybe it was the result of his hard work. His career is at the peak of success.
