The night was getting late at last mas Edi was late to go home. Actually I have often talked with mas Edi, our relationship was quite familiar. All this time I thought of him as a friend because only he was the one who never sneered at me, he never insulted me and he understood me so much. Still God is kind to a despicable person like me to move the heart of Edi to fall for me. Is it appropriate for me to expect him and want him to be with me on bail. I better not have much to guess. Just follow the destiny line that I should have lived. Keep improving to deserve to be next to him. We must believe that God's plan is far more beautiful than we think, as long as we keep walking.
After the return of Edi mas I immediately lay down my body in pieces. The face of Edi mas still continues to be imagined in my eyes, but I tried to brush it off with all my might so as not to dissolve in the beauty of the love song mas Edi which is not necessarily presented to me. it could be for other women.
Already about a month mas Edi working in this city, almost every day we always exchange news, both through short messages and by phone call. I feel my relationship with him is getting closer.Sometimes there is a fear that if one day he stops contacting me, stops giving me little attention, which makes my days colorful. Right now it seems like I've become very dependent on him. One day he did not tell me it felt like there was less, there was nothing empty and there was fear if he did not tell me and never appeared in front of me again.
When the message notification came from him, happiness and gratitude enveloped the recesses of my soul. Tomorrow is Sunday, Edi and I plan to go back to the village together. Incidentally my village and mas Edi village are not so far away. Mas Edi is in Padang Sawit village and I live in Padang Getah village, it only takes about twenty-five minutes to travel if using a two-wheeled vehicle. The plan is we will leave as early as possible, in order to meet our parents in a longer time, so that we can be more satisfied to let go of longing.
This morning, Sunday I woke up excitedly, after the dawn prayer I immediately packed myself to go home to see my mother in the yard, after a few months of work in the city, I had never returned home.
Geck...
Geck...
It must be Edi who came to pick me up. I immediately stepped quickly towards the front door, for a moment I peeked from behind the horden, really mas Edi who came, appeared someone who I longed to stand behind the door of my contract that looked still dim.
Czech.kreeert.
Assalamualaikum, must have just woken up, sorry well ngganggu, said mas Edi, with his distinctive smile. I answered his greetings and asked him to wait for me in the seat on my rented porch.
I rushed inside and continued packing. Once everything is ready. Soon I approached Edi who was sitting on my rented porch seat.
"Let's go, I'm ready, I'm home with no clothes on?" I asked because I saw Edi didn't bring anything.
Not long after, the online taxi in the message mas Edi also came. Mas Edi helped carry my bag containing clothes and other equipment into the car. We were both sitting in second place right behind the driver.
"You told me, Mother, that today you will go home, if I promise you that today I will go home. Since I worked in the city, my mother was often angry because I could not go home. Understandably so far I have never separated from my mother, so I feel heavy longing he said," said mas Edi while occasionally looking out to see the vast green expanse of rice plants.
"Honestly I feel ashamed of you, your relationship with your parents is so good, it seems like parents mas Edi is so proud to have children like you. Unlike me, my parents may be ashamed to have children like me who are always a gossip of the neighbors because of my actions are not commendable. During this time I never contacted my mother, because she did not have a phone and our relationship was not so familiar as mother and child in general. Perhaps she regretted giving birth to a child like me, or maybe she always felt like a parent who failed to educate me," my heart ached every time I looked at her face. I was really worried about not being able to see my mom again. May the Lord still give me time to serve my mother at the end of her life.
"Don't be sad, you should be grateful, because God has guided you until your heart is open and realized that your actions have been wrong. Apologize and prostrate to my mother and then dedicate to her, I'm sure she will be proud to have a child like you, as proud of my mother to me," said Mas Edi while holding my hand and holding her. I also put my head on his shoulders. It felt like my heart was so calm to be around him.
Around ten in the morning we entered the village of Padang Sawit, my heart was worried, afraid that mother mas Edi did not like to see my closeness with her son, considering how my image is not so good in the eyes of the community.
Now we have entered the yard of Edi mas house, the car Online we were riding had stopped. Me and Edi got out of the car outside a woman about forty-five years old and a man about fifty years old had welcomed us. He smiled to welcome me and Edi.
"Juita introduced this mother and my father, he was named Joko sir and Minah's mother, the mother of this acquaintance whose name is Juita," said mas Edi. We immediately greeted and kissed the backs of the hands of both parents.
"Oh so this is Juita, it turns out to be very beautiful, it's appropriate that my son is willing to live far from his mother in order to be close to you," Minah's words suddenly touched me, making me feel sad, it's true that Edi moved to the city to be close to me, but maybe it was just a joke Minah.
"Mother, don't talk weird ma'am, don't embarrass me, " mas Edi cut off his mother's words immediately. Minah's mother replied to her son by patting him on the shoulder.
"Already ma'am, by the way is guarded do not origin, shame the same as prospective ghosts, let's all go in, let's not hesitate to consider it at home prospective in-laws, " said Mr. Joko while embracing the mas Edi whose face looks red and stifled to resist the embarrassment of bringing him into the house. While Minah mom also embraces me to invite in and step behind Joko sir and mas Edi.
I didn't expect the welcome of Edi's parents to be so friendly towards me. They really appreciate me like they appreciate a good woman. I feel so sad. I deserve to be a part of their family.
