Marriage But the Enemy

NTM 3.0

I snorted in annoyance. Even so, I still have to cover up this annoyance of mine.

"Sori." My sharp eyes immediately glanced at him. "Can you please let go?" whisper to him, be careful.

"Where are you going?" Ask once more.

I grunt. I don't know why I got upset because he pretended to be insensitive when I just asked his relatives for permission. My heart would almost burn with emotion if I didn't remember the situation. For that I cultivate patience, sigh long after having time to rotate the eyeballs. "Nelephone, okay?"

"Who?" Ask again. Which question this time made me feel I had misheard.

"Who'd you like to call?" After that, I realized that my ears were not damaged.

I laughed a snort later. Feeling funny about a question that sounds exactly like a 'real husband candidate' is very attentive. Though even though I called any guy friend what's his business with him? We are not yet officially husband and wife!

I want to answer it with a shitty sentence. I want to challenge him. But again, because of the situation I had to loosen my ego.

Again, I took a long breath. Then in a low voice I replied with great emphasis, "U-ti."

I kept staring at him until he loosened his strength and finally managed to get me out of his grip.

I smiled winning as I passed. Flaming at a fast pace. As soon as I want to hear from Uti soon!

However, many times I called Uti's phone number, many times the connection failed!

I bit my lower lip in agitation. My heart suddenly stumbled. My mind started to stir everywhere with various negative thoughts coming to storm the meteor shower that destroyed everything. I became confused myself.

But my common sense soon calmed down. To dismiss the worst possibilities that had stopped by disturbed my mind.

Wouldn't if something happened to Uti, then my Dad and Mom wouldn't relax like this? My common sense began to instill positive thoughts for me. Sighing for a moment, I started to calm down.

"Tuuute... The number that was sent did not answer. Please press-" click. I turned off that connection again. Sighing long, half my heart called out to stop. But the other half is calling me to keep doing it.

Utis...

It's been a while since I set foot back home again, more than a week ago. I haven't seen Uti since. Whose fault would I miss?

If Uti wanted to hang out with us at Father and Mother's house. If Uti is not too loyal to Akung to not want to leave his heritage house for a week. If Uti...

Akhs! I just realized. So great is this "smart" word from my mind. I feel like I have become a less grateful person.

Already, Re, appreciate the decision of Uti. as long as Uti healthy and long life. You should be grateful! My sane little heart was also warning.

I was silent, pondering for a while. I wanted to end this effort, but most of my heart called to do it one more time.

"Okay, it's okay. Just one more time." I broke up. Then bring the phone back to your ear.

"Tut. tuut... tuuuut.." The call is still connected. I was still patiently waiting until that monotonous voice could change with greetings.

My feet are not even moving. There was a wish of worry waiting for him. And, suddenly...

"Re,"

Then, he started to make a sound again after a few seconds. "What are you doing here? Everything on your cariin, loh,"

"Yes, Ma'am, sorry. I'm calling Uti. Want to ask, Uti has arrived where? Why until this afternoon has not arrived yet..."

"Uti, can't come, Re."

"He?" I raised my eyebrows and returned Mbak Citra's gaze with quite a shock. Wonder why the news sounded so suddenly.

Mba Citra smiled thinly. "This news is not sudden. I forgot to tell you," he explained. Makes me flinch.

"Why, Mommy?" Tanyaku later. Suddenly my disappointment piled high.

"That, Mbok Sum is not feeling well. So Uti wants to accompany Mbok Sum at home. Poor thing, you know, Mbok Sum no one to take care if Uti leaves? Kan, his relatives are all in the village." It was clear Mbak Citra was long at length which finally made me nod in understanding.

"Oh, that's it..."

Now, replace Mbak Citra who nodded. Consider the rhythm very fast. Almost without pause. Which even makes it like a puppet dashboard car that is erring.

"Why are you smiling??" Ask with a deep squeak on the forehead. She's astonished.

I'm shaking. Just want to cover it up. After all, if my brother knows I can be immediately cursed by him because I have likened him to an errant car dashboard doll as well. Ugh, I could be labeled as "brother of the ungodly" again!

"Huh, try the story! Why are you smiling, anyway?"

"It's nothing, Ma'am.." I grinned.

"Lied huh?" Mama looked at me suspiciously. Then, he suddenly swerved. "Hey, you're not a ma'am, are you??"

"Ih, what a ge-er!" My heart as it passed through his body that was still flinching there. After that, my smile also resulted in laughter. Fortunately I can still hold it so that Mbak Citra is not suspicious.

Finally, we walked together to leave the terrace of this building and then went back into it and joined other relatives because this party was not over.

And before I decided to drown out the whole thing, I took the time to type in a short message quickly.
