Merapi Never Ingkar Janji 2 (The Return of the Sultan)

SS. 53. Successor Guard

The heat was scorching, as Tata began walking on the sidewalk. Sometimes he jumps in search of protection from the hot sun.

"Hhuuuff ... " She complained when her joints started to get tired. Maybe because of the influence of the luggage he was about to pack.

Din ...md ...

The sound of the horn sounded startling, right behind him.

'What the hell, people have stepped aside as well.' Grunts Tata in the heart.

"Why do you take the hot road alone ?" Ask someone she knows her voice.

"Mas Al." He muttered with a big smile.

"Good." Al's orders are impossible for him to ignore.

"Who told you to walk alone !" Al asked with a slightly raised tone.

"I was _"

"How many times do I have to say, if you want to go say, let someone deliver." Al says cutting Tata's explanation.

"Yes, but that's_"

"I'm not done talking." Al said without giving a chance to talk to his future wife.

'Hhuuufff .... Already want to be husband and wife, still jutek.' thought Tata in the heart.

"I'm not a jutek, but worried that you're doing something. People never know what will happen. If anything happens to you how ?" Omel Al along the motorway, as if he knew what Tata had been thinking.

In order to avoid a debate, Tata decided to keep quiet without answering what Al asked.

"Why silence ?" Al asked while glancing towards his interlocutor.

"You didn't hear, what did I say ?" Ask again.

"So said Mas Al, I told you to shut up." Answer Tata flat.

"Who told you to shut up, I just said I haven't finished talking." Al repeated.

"Ah, know ach." Tata's words are getting irritated.

Small debates often color their relationship. Starting from trivial things that sometimes spread everywhere.

"Why is that his comment ?"

This time Al's tone was more subtle. Maybe because Al felt Tata was starting to show his frustration.

"You want to comment on what else ? Any reason, if according to Mas Al is not right, yes there must be something wrong continue." Said Tata irritated.

"OK, let's end the debate, now I want to ask, where are you from or where are you going, with that much luggage ?"

"I want to go to Arman Mas's Paklek house."

"Make what ?"

"Make consideration of our relationship."

It's true, only Paklek Arman is the only family Tata has. And he is the younger brother of anita's biological father, who will be obliged to replace his father as guardian during the marriage contract.

"Why don't you talk to me first ?" Ask Al in a disappointed tone.

"But, I was saying goodbye to Mother Mas."

"Yes, but if you talk to me, at least I can take you. Don't have to walk on your own, it's hot."

Somehow this time Al a little possessive and still nagging himself.

"Unless you really want to go alone, let's meet someone." Lirih. There was jealousy in it.

"Hhhhmmm ... The story is jealous." Ledek anita broke the atmosphere that had been awkward.

"No."

"If not dear dong."

"You ach." Those words are often the wearables when he is sulking.

Anita smiled to herself while throwing away her face hiding her sweet smile.

He actually wanted to tell me that the online motorcycle motorcycle he ordered broke down, so he was forced to continue the journey on foot.

Besides being able to relax, it can save costs as well. Besides, Paklek house is not so far from the residence of Alfatih.

Indeed, if you are not used to walking, you must be tired and your feet feel sore. But not for Tata, who is used to walking. It would be even more painful if he did not train his legs again to walk everywhere.

"You want to stay here, or you want to come down maybe ?" Strange question Al asked.

"Eh, have you arrived yet ? hehehehe ..." Tata's answer is no less strange.

With his always nurturing attitude, Al helped his future wife bring souvenirs for Paklek Arman and his family

"Ssuuuttt ... " Call Al to give code.

"What else is it ?"

"You don't want to hold my hand ?"

"What the hell, there's just nothing."

Tata's steps stopped when his eyes were fixed somewhere. Apparently, what Al asked was not without purpose. From a distance, Andri and Astrid are sitting together on the front porch of his house.

"Why ?" Al asked who had expected, why did his footsteps stop.

"Here It is."

Tata took the luggage that was in Al's hands. He is with his left hand. While his right hand embraces the sturdy arm of Alfatih.

"Hhhmmmm... want to make your ex-lover jealous huh ?" Bisik Al meredek's.

"Shut up, I never had an ex-boyfriend." Reply furious.

"Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam." Answer two people who are sitting together on the front porch.

"There's a Trid ?"

"There's." Astrid answered briefly.

Astrid immediately entered the house, giving news to her parents, if there are guests in front.

"Pak Al, Tata, what's up ?" Sapa Andri, shaking both hands.

"Alhamdulillah, be healthy." Tata answered.

"Pak Al, Nduk, come in, son. Come on in, Mr. Al." Said Paklek who welcomed their arrival happily.

"Assalamu'alaikum Paklek."

"Wa'alaikumsalam Nduk, let's go in. Please Mr. Al."

"Yes sir."

"Bulek follow, Paklek ?" Tata asked who since his arrival had not seen the whereabouts of his Bulek.

"There's Nduk, just a minute. Buk, Ibuk, there's Tata and Mr. Al coming to visit." Call Paklek to Bulek Rukmini.

"Yes, yes, I know sir." Reply Bulek.

Perhaps the bullek was cooking or cleaning at the back and washing his hands before approaching Al and Tata, apparently from his habit of drying his palms with the skirt he was wearing.

"Sir Al, Nduk, pie are you ayu ?" Sapa Bulek after shaking their hands.

"Alhamdulillah be healthy Bulek."

"Thank God then, long time no see. Bulek is a miss." Saying pleasantries.

'Tumben Bulek spoke fine today.' Tata's comments in my heart.

'Huusss.. can't su'udzon.' Said his side of heart.

"I'm sorry Mr. Arman, if we arrive suddenly without telling you in advance." Al said he started the conversation.

"It's okay Mr. Al. We're glad you're coming to visit our place." Answer Paklek with a formal language.

"The meaning of our arrival, wants to convey that in the near future we will justify our relationship." So says Al.

'I don't think, behind his jutek attitude there are polite words. Praise be to Allah, You have given me a perfect soul mate in my eyes.

"Alhamdulillah, Paklek is glad to hear Nduk." Paklek's comments heard from Al.

"We also ask Mr. Arman to be our guardian, replacing his late father." Al and Tata Request.

"Sure sir, of course I'm willing." Answer the happy Paklek.

"What ! So you guys want to get married !" Shouted Astrid who suddenly gawked into the living room.

Maybe initially on the orders of Bulek, he wanted to serve drinking water for his guests. But because of hearing what their arrival meant, Astrid only came out carrying trays.

"Astrid, it's polite to talk." Prevent Paklek.

"No sir, why is he always lucky while I'm not !" His complaint.

"Astrid, what are you talking about ? It's not like there's Nak Andri outside." Maki Bulek half whispered.

"I don't care about the Buk." After saying so, Astrid immediately ran towards her room. As for Andri, he hurriedly went home.

"I'm sorry Astrid, son." Bulek said when Andri pamit.

"It's okay Mom, I'll excuse you."

"Yes, son."

Bulek returned to his seat, silent and speaking nothing. Since knowing who Al is, Bulek did not dare to comment much.

"When do you have good intentions ?" Ask Paklek impatiently.

"Secap Paklek, later Tata kabari back, after Mas Al finished taking care of everything." This time Tata answered.

"The people are very happy, son, may what your intentions are in the ridhoi of Allah."

"Amen."

"Sir Al, I have my niece. He's the only treasure left by my late brother." Tears began to flow.

"Of course Mr. Arman, and from now on, you don't call me Sir, because in a moment, I'm also part of the family of Mr."

"Yes Nak Al. Paklek is very happy, very happy." Speak with tears.

"Have it, don't be too lebay." Bulek's comments were shrewd, not daring to say louder.
