"Let's just eat, I've cooked a special meal for you two. I happen to want to eat from earlier but your mother forbids, she said she wants to eat with you guys, so yes.dad hold her hunger first for the sake of obeying the wishes of her beloved wife. But you must be hungry too, right? " said Mr. Joko, while continuing to embrace the shoulders of mas Edi as reluctant to release him.
"Keep father.. continue to embarrass mother, beware later tonight not mother love ration," said Minah's mother with a sour face. I just smiled at the absurd behavior of a couple who were not young anymore.
"Yes, don't be like that, ma'am, I'm sorry, maaaff bangeett ma'am," here I get the rice, I want what side dish...a little bit let me know the taste," said Mr. Joko while helping the mother sit in the chair then take a plate and fill with rice and filled with vegetables and all the side dishes that are there.
"Dad, mom, you guys are old still a little pretentious romantic not ashamed of the same young," said mas Edi while taking a plate and filling it with rice plus all vegetables and side dishes as done by his father.
"Son, that romance doesn't belong to the young, for us who already smell this land must also remain romantic and always maintain the warmth and harmony of the household so that life is always vibrant and happy. That you also imitate the behavior of the father, but it should not be more than that well, because the devil is everywhere, "pak joko advises attentively. Me and Edi just nodded with a smile.
"Can't be more than that!!, it's more willing to try. Not necessarily the love of Edi received the same Juita. Don't be paternal, " said the mother as she fed her rice and invited us all to eat. We ate delicious, I saw Edi mas and Joko sir added twice, they also told me to add but it feels like I am full.
Finished eating the four of us also rested in the back of the house mas Edi, while watching the roosters being fed by Mr. Joko. Mom laughs sometimes because she hears dad's jokes. While Edi just smiled to see the behavior of his parents.
Right at half-time when we all finished praying the prayer, me and Edi were getting ready to go to the village of Padang Gatah. The village where my mother and I live.
Before leaving Minah's mother took me to the kitchen. He wants to talk to me with four eyes. I felt very excited, maybe Minah's mother wanted to tell me to leave Edi mas, because actually I did not deserve to be her companion. Why am I being sad, not necessarily mas Edi put my heart on me, who knows he's just kasian to me.
"Sit down, Juita, there's something I want to ask, sorry if the effect is too presumptuous to interfere in your affairs. But even though we as Edi's parents want the best for our son, you certainly understand? " i only nodded resignedly if indeed Minah ma told me to stay away from Edi mas.
"Do you love Edi son, "ask mom Minah with sharp eyes as if to penetrate the space of my heart and find out if there is honesty. I just nodded steadily, I need not be ashamed to admit my feelings, even though my love later clapped one hand, I was ready and I was sincere.
"If you love her promise me you will be willing to be her life partner until you age.You need to know, she has long fallen for you, but we never approve of her. Today after seeing your change, I bless your love, but on condition that you never betray our son, love him and love him, like he loves you so much,"
Slowly flowing clear crystals passed through both of my cheeks, whether the word is appropriate to express how happy I am to hear the fact that Edi loved me so much, even for a long time.
After saying goodbye to both parents of mas Edi, I was accompanied by mas Edi using his metic motor drove away from Padang Sawit village to Padang Gatah village where I live.
About twenty minutes later, we also arrived at a simple house made of wood that was almost gray and roofed rumbiah. I got off the bike and stepped in a hurry. While Edi was following behind me.
I slowly knocked on my door a few times. Soon, a mother appeared who was about forty-six years old, but her body seemed weak as if she was very weak, perhaps she was not feeling well.
"Mirror.emak.... Juita came, Juita wanted to apologize because all this time Juita often hurt her feelings. Juita also often make my mother ashamed... But now Juita promises, Juita will not hurt mother again, Juita has realized mak, if what Juita did all this time is wrong. Juita will learn to be a good child mak.biar can make mamak proud," I said while kneeling hugging Mother's feet.
"Juita..is really what you say son, do you really want to be a good woman, you have realized son hu..." Juita's mother cried bitterly while hugging her daughter.
"You miss Juita, you don't want to part with you, you want to go home with Juita's mother" Juita's mother continued to sob.
"Juita can't go home, Juita now works in a factory to collect money for the future. How about if the mother came to Juita alone to the city, the mother did not need to work anymore, Juita's salary is enough for both of us to live, Juita can still dibung instead, how mak, " I asked my mother and mother to agree. Too late to let go of longing with Mom, I forgot to introduce Edi mas to mom.
"Ma. introduce this mas Edi, he was the one who brought me home. Mas Edi introduced this to my mother, people often call her mother Jelita, he. he. her name is similar to mine. Mas Edi also greeted and kissed the back of his hand.
"You're Edi who used to drive Juita when Juita stayed on the road, right?" edi nodded his head.
"You used to seem to put your heart on Juita, whether you still love her now," her question surprised me, I was afraid that Edi would not be pleased with her greeting.
"I'm sorry mom, "my word to Mas Edi felt bad.
