Marriage Ends in Love.

CHAPTER 28 THE MANTU CANDIDATE

The sound of a rooster crowing this morning makes me wake up early because usually the alarm on his phone will wake him up. But today I'm spending the holidays after the rap sheet split yesterday. I want to spend my vacation time in a village called Mak e.

"Hem.... What is Mak cooking?" asked me after arriving in the kitchen and smelled a pleasant aroma of the smell I suspect the menu this morning is Seruit.

"Mom's daughter's favorite food. Harpoon"

"Gee... Rana's getting hungry, Mom...." Seruit, yes this is my favorite menu from small.

Seruit is one of the typical Lampung food that is often served when there are family events, weddings, traditional events and religious events. Seruit is a food made from grilled fish mixed with various sambal terasi typical of the city of Bandar Lampung such as tempoyak or some who add mango.

"Later drive to your Hardi mas house. I cook a lot of this"

"Good Mom...."

I had breakfast with Mak e while chatting a lot of things. Mak e is happy now that I have worked even though I am still a contracted Master at one of the private High Schools. Suddenly mak e asked about the thing that had made me upset after Lilik was engaged to Tyo, Rudi was going to marry one of his teaching friends next month.

"Roman.... You don't have any views on getting married yet?"

"Mak e. later if the soul mate meet Mak. Now Rana still wants to focus on teaching first"

"Remember the age of 27, Mak e is only worried because if the woman will experience the process of pregnancy, childbirth and the risk if giving birth at the age of 30 years and above.... Mak e Ndak want you to focus on working. Yesterday Pak le mu who in Klitang asked you to Ndak acquaintance with a brother far from his wife. He said it happened that someone was looking for a mate but Ndak wanted to date but Ndak wanted to find a cottage. Well sir le mu remembered you. Hasn't Mr Le contacted you yet Ran?"

"Not yet Mak. Mak pray Rana hopefully there is a match with Rana let Rana find her own Mak"

"Mak it's the same mas you ayem if you have been applying, imagine for 1 year mas you have rejected 3 applications from Ran people.... worried that we might be too arrogant"

"Mak.... Rana Ndak wants to get married if in Rana Ndak's heart there is a little love with Rana's future husband. Although Rana Ndak wants to date but at least there is a sense of liking and comfort with the prospective husband Rana. Ustad Abdul Mak knew himself he was knowledgeable but if he was talking as if he himself was the most correct. Mr. Zaki's son is good, though, handsome is also a businessman but Rana does not like the style of his loh Mak lah wong sugih (rich) is his father he is pretentious and Gonta changing vehicles Rana Ndak likes the type of man so. Mas Ikbal is indeed Rana criteria there is a little bit the same mas Ikbal but his parents did not like our family from the past. Married it Ndak only Rana Mak. But later Rana's family and Rana's Husband's family will become one. Rana Ndak wants there to be a disharmonious relationship between the Rana family and the husband family. And most importantly, M. Rana wants to still be able to serve the same Mak e after marriage. Therefore Rana still has not met the same men who fit the criteria of Rana. If we choose, it is natural to. Lah wong nggeh friend for life cooking carelessly" said I at length give an understanding to Mak e about the reason I rejected 3 young men who had proposed to me through mas Hardi.

"Yo wes's.... Mak can only pray that you can meet your soul mate and soul mate who can make you happy, take care of you, hopefully meet the good in-laws who love you"

"Aamiin.. same as Mbak Imah. Yo wes Rana Wash the dishes first huh Mak"

I left Mak e in the kitchen towards the dishwasher. I remember the figure of Mbak Imah. Yes, my brother-in-law is for me a lucky figure to be married to a good, patient, patient mas Hardi, responsible and enterprising work and give permission mbak Umar care for his parents who have been aged. Until his father Mbak Imah died in the arms of mbak Imah. And now still taking care of his mother who just lay in bed because of the age factor. For meals, BAB and BAK should be done on the bed. Sometimes mas Hardi helped carry his mother-in-law to just sunbathe in the morning. Not to mention Mak e, every sustenance more definitely buy 2 jewelry whether it's a ring, whether it's a bracelet, or just a nightgown where one for mbak Imah one for me.

"Ah... I hope I can get happiness like you mbak Imah" muttered me after finishing my activities washing dishes.

"Roman... Shane...."

Hardi's voice from the front room. I half ran because I heard Hardi's call.

"Yes mas.... What's up?" ask me when I get to the family room.

"This is Mr. Le who's on the phone in Klitang to talk to you. From last night, she said your number was hard to call. Last night there was a saguri invitation"

"Yes, um,"

"Hello.... Assalamualaikum pak le"

"Walaikumsalam Ran, piye kabare? well, it's been pakle's niece teacher apparently. Busy so never call or dolan-dolan (main) here"

"Sorry sir le his name is also taught in private schools Pak le very sibu pak le. alhamdulilah Rana healthy and good sir le. Mr le himself the same buk le piye kabare?"

"Thank God we are all healthy. Ran, this le sir there needs to be the same you. You know for yourself after your father Ndak no Pak le never forget your responsibilities and Hardi including that time pakle met your Mak and your Mak told me that you have not met a suitable one for married at your age. Sir le understands your Mak's anxiety, This happens to be a Cousin from the wife of Pak le is looking for the soul mate of his son but when mr. le give some santri his son le asked if it could not from among the cottage. Lah pak le confused, but after Mak mu story about you sir le kok thought to introduce you to his cousin buk le mu. How Ran you want to contact. The guy wants to go straight to the wedding if it fits"

"Loh.. it's all. Yeah that's them back to you first. Well, I mean mr. le if you agree sir le want to show your photo with his son and later the photo he sir le send to Hardi if he fits or you fit only after tomorrow sir le take his people to your house all sir le want to be present at the wedding of your son bik Salamah"

"If you really want a good acquaintance directly meet No, so you can know roughly what fits ndak. lah if through the photo is sometimes a deceptive appearance"

Suddenly mak e join nimbrung in chat vya mobile phone from earlier was indeed in loud speaker by mas Hardi.

"Owh... Yo wes nek ngunu mbak. Worried about nek wes invited kabake ora ngerti ne Ga fit so deliberately not obrolke ndikek Karo Kirana mbak Yu"

"Where's Na? Mas and Mak are up to you. Only Mamas Ndak have the heart of Mak e if you have discussed you have not met his soul mate" Mas Hardi also asked my opinion.

I took a heavy and deep breath from the mother's face as it was clear not to refuse what sir le asked.

"Hhh...... Yo wes pak le Ndak papa know first but if indeed Ndak fit Ndak papa right sir le?"

"Hahahaha.... Yo nek ga fit Ndak papa anyway he was already 3 times acquaintance but Ndak no match. The last one even almost nguerti ndak so"

"But le sir said le sir his man Ndak want to be the same hut and why mr le?"

"that's why he said he didn't want his wife to be smarter than him about religion. Because he used to be santri too but santri kalong mondoknya only wae night. Yo wes the day after Pak le there same he maybe all the same parents, Ran ndak papa anyway?"

"Yes nothing sir le"

"No... Fatimah Milu deck anyway?"

"Ngggeh insyaallah Milu. Yo wes mbak Iki I Eneng invitation to study next time we chat again. Assalamualaikum"

"Waalaikumsalam" we said together.

Now Mak is sitting on the chair next to me as well as Mas Hardi.

"Hopefully mate Ran...."

"Aamiinu. Yes mak"

"But it's strange to ask for a mate the same sir le but Ndak want to cah an hut. While mr. Le has a boarding house"

"Yes maybe he Ndak want to be ashamed of the fact that married his wife's science is higher than his science" I replied would be confused mas Hardi.

"It could be, but easy-to-make Mak e, is the one 3 times failed the application, the one 3 times rejected the application. Hopefully in the 4th effort this ends in KUA ya Mak hahahaha" The sound of laughter mas Hardi with a mocking look made me pursed my lips as well as when in childhood I would cry or pursed my lips because it was often colonized by mas Hardi.

"Aamiin was at least Mak's daughter married before the age of 30 hehehe"

"But pity Ustad Abdul Mak. Now he's the KUA sir is clearly crumbling it Mak. Ngurus married a person who had 2 times refused him Mak hehehe" mas Hardi seemed very happy to tease me.

"Hus.lah wong ustad Abdul is already married to still discuss him. Ndak kudos"

"Let's accompany the mother, Ran we shop for cake ingredients to welcome Mr. Le Ndak timid if Ndak no cake"

"Pak le what would be Mak's ghost.." mas Hardi teases Mak e who looks excited to welcome the arrival of Pak le Yatno from Klitang.

"Yes both want Mak e" Mak e answered Hardi's questions while walking towards the kitchen.
