“Who is son? Do you know her?” ask mami Riana curious.
“Ck, why did you ask my son-in-law Ana. This is the day I introduce my future daughter-in-law to you. Why did you find out your future son-in-law. Especially by having to force my son.” Said Mami Ajeng showing her annoyance even though it was just pretend.
Andita herself just smiled hearing Ajeng's mother's words.
“You are also Lang. Why say that to your aunt. He became curious who was close to Gen.” continued Ajeng's mother looked at the son who could only grin because he did not know what to answer.
“Sorry, brother. I won't discuss my son-in-law anymore. This is your show. Your happiness. But is it wrong I also want to have my own son-in-law. Want to feel the same happiness you feel. Lang, after this you have to talk to auntie, you have to tell me who the girl Gen approached. Aunty would have hand-selected the future aunt's daughter-in-law before she was brought home by Gen. You know for yourself it's not how Giana got so close to Gen. She would definitely mind if her sister got married. Especially if you have to marry a girl who does not love her.” said mami Riana Long.
He could only nod because he had no other choice. One of his own keceplosan so must account for the mouth of his bucket that. He looked towards the lover who was just smiling as if he was pitying her. Even Glare could only sigh.
“Nak, what's your name?” tanya Mami Riana now turned to look at Andita who sat beside Ajeng's mom.
“Ck, why are you asking questions that don't matter to Ana. She's my son-in-law and has been through my selection. No need to ask about her background. I asked Gilang to bring her home today with only one purpose: to show off to you. Didn't we ever promise to fight about this. When Gilang and Gen were born we bet that in the future who first has a son-in-law then the loser must give a prize to the winner. Now I have a son-in-law candidate so I've made sure you lose.” Mami Ajeng said arrogantly.
Mami Riana sizzled, “Lang, you should immediately tell me who the girl Gen likes. Look at your mom she likes to show off.” Mami Riana said with her sad face because she felt defeated by her sister.
“No need to fight like that, mih. It is a promise of the past. No need to realize it. After all, choosing a daughter-in-law is not a race.” Papi Riko.
“Well, I agree with you too. No need to go that way. Andita is our future daughter-in-law is not an item won in a bet.” The timpal papi Basuki.
“Who also considers Andita goods betting pih. Mami was just teasing Ana. Son, no offense. Without that bet, your mommy will allow you to be her one-on-one daughter-in-law. It's just a bet that the real thing is not made even no problem. It's just a pleasure in itself when you see others lose, not.” Said mami Ajeng glanced at the sister accompanied by a smile on her face.
“Kakak!” said mami Riana.
Andita also laughed a little at the small quarrel in the living room, “Dita did not feel offended really, mih. We understand what you mean.” Andita.
“So, are you really going on vacation tomorrow?” ask mami Riana.
Mami Ajeng nodded, “Of course. Should I lie to you?” ask mami Ajeng back.
Mami Riana shook her head, “That's not it, sister. I just want to take a vacation with you guys but we still have other business that can not be left and then added again with Gentala who also has not chosen a lover like Gilang.” Mami Riana's.
“She already has kok.” said Andita suddenly.
Instantly Riana's mami's gaze sparkled at Andita's sudden remark, “You also know who the girl's son is?” mami Riana looked at Andita curiously.
Andita nodded, “She is the sister-in-law of Azarine Salsabila Husna, bi.” Answer Gilang.
“Azarine Salsabila Husna? Who is he?” ask mami Riana.
“That's mih. He is the sole heir of the company ASH Industries.” Answer papi Riko.
“Ahh means he is very rich dong nak. No, Gentala doesn't deserve her if it's like that. We are not as rich as them.” said mami Riana. Not happy because the son is close to a girl who has a high social position, Mami Riana was worried.
“Husna is not that kind of person. She never saw anyone else based on her social status.” Andita said.
“In addition, Zahra was the sister of her husband. As long as Zahra was happy with her choice then they would have agreed. It all depends on Gentala how his efforts to reach Zahra's heart. If Zahra agrees, they will. Husna and Mr. Azzam are open-minded people.” Connect Andita.
“Zahra? Her name is beautiful.” said mami Riana.
“She is indeed beautiful as her name is aunt.” Answer Andita.
“I was curious to see the girl.” said Mami Riana later.
“Huh, was worried. Why are you now curious about the girl's face?” sindir mami Ajeng's.
“Well, I understand that my brother is worried. We are not people who come from a rich family like them.” said Riana mami.
“Nak, you guys have a photo of the girl?” ask papi Riko.
“Have uncle.” Answer Gilang.
“Can we see?” ask papi Riko.
Gilang nodded and immediately took his phone and showed a photo during his exam proposal yesterday where there was a photo of them together there.
“This is uncle. He's Zahra. Fifth semester students in the same major as us also.” Silang.
“Beauty!” praise mami Riana smiled.
“Like her looks very soft.” Connect papi Riko.
“Hum, mommy also agrees with that. We have to ask Gen to take her home. Giana has to meet her sister-in-law's candidate, not.” Mami Riana's.
“Hm, so now it is approved to be a son-in-law. No more worry?” chirps mami Ajeng who was repaid by mami Riana.
He had already fallen in love with Zahra just by hearing the girl's name. Continuing to be added by looking at Zahra's photos he was increasingly convinced that Zahra was good and suitable to be made a son-in-law.
“Maybe they are currently dating, bi.” Said Gilang after taking his cellphone and handed it to his parents because they were also curious about the figure of Zahra.
“Dating? Waitie? You mean Gentala's dating Zahra?” ask mami Riana.
Gilang nodded, “Like that. We were at the Husna residence. And what Gilang knows is that Gen took the girl out. Isn't that so dear?” tanya Gilang asked for support from Andita.
Andita nodded and smiled shyly because of the affectionate call that Gilang pinned for her and called while in front of the man's family.
“Wah, that kid is already naughty huh. Why not say date. I have to call her.” said mami Riana.
“Already. Don't bother our son. Let her enjoy her time outside with the girl. Let's just wait at home and ask him later.” Papi Riko.
Mami Riana nodded in agreement because she herself realized that she was not fun while dating and suddenly on the phone. That's very disturbing. So for now he will hold back his curiosity first until they come home and Gen goes home to the new house to question him.
“Is your mother ready to nak?” ask Mami Ajeng to Andita.
“Mih already. Mom is ready. We will depart from the residence of Husna's parents at exactly seven in the morning to the airport.” Answer Andita.
“Eh is not necessary. We'll pick you up there ourselves. Count the listahturahmi also with the owner of the number one company. So wait for us to pick up. Don't go alone to the airport.” Mami Ajeng.
“But it will rotate, mih. It will be a while later.” Andita said it was not good.
“He’eh no problem son. Why twist? It doesn't matter if it's done for the family. There's no need to feel bad like that to us, son. We'll be a family later.” Mami Ajeng.
Gilang himself smiled at his mother's words. This time he had to admit that the two old men whom he had all this time wanted to return and accompany him had returned even back in their best version. No parent likes to judge someone based on their social status or maybe both parents were already like that from the past only he was late to realize it. He who had bad thoughts on his parents because they were not close. But now all the suffering and envy she had been through all this time seeing the child and her familiar parents as if disappearing with her return both her parents and trying to mend their relationship. What they did to Andita, the acceptance of the girl who had been chosen was a cure for her so that she could feel happy like this. An overflowing sense of happiness because they feel loved by both parents.
“You're happy, son?” mami Riana whispered to her niece.
He knew that this kind of scene that his nephew had wanted since childhood. Well, all this time Gilang was closer to her than her own biological mother because it was her brother who did not have time for Gilang. But now like his brother and sister-in-law it's trying to make up for all of her.
Gilang nodded, “I've been dreaming of this for a long time, bi. But only now it's been granted. Thank you for taking care of me and treating me like your own son. Treating me the same as Gen.” said Gilang staring at mami Riana and papi Riko. Her uncle and aunt were closer to her than her busy mom and dad.
“Auntie is happy if you are happy. Auntie's happy with what you've got now. Besides you got a girl that smooth. He interceded between you and your parents. He seems to be the way for you to be able to make peace with your parents. Look at your mama, she's very familiar. It seems that your mother loved and accepted her sincerely. Aunty can see the sincerity shown by your mother is her sincere sincerity.” said Mami Riana.
Gilang nodded and smiled looking at the two parents who were engrossed in talking to Andita. As her true what was said by her aunt that Andita is the person who sent God to her to be the cure of all the wounds and suffering that she experienced so far. The girl's existence was like water in the desert. Very much needed.
“Auntie, need you to know that Zahra, the girl Gen likes is a good girl. He was a loving figure and Husna himself loved the girl. So Gen's toughest step in getting the girl is to convince Husna and her family that Zahra is happy with Gen. Although Husna was only Zahra's sister-in-law but Husna and her family considered Zahra's sister and daughter.” Silang.
“What is a leak for us nak?” ask papi Riko.
“I want Gen happy. He's not just a cousin to you. He is a partner to you. Partner in everything. Of course if he is not happy, it will bother me and will be influential in his work.” said Gilang.
“Basic tsundere. Why not say that you want to return the favor to us. You don't have to do that. We are family. It's our duty as your uncles and aunts to take care of you. For Gentala himself we leave the decision to her. If indeed he chose that girl why we as parents would not approve of her. We will love our future daughter-in-law later.” Mami Riana's.
“I'm sure aunt can definitely do her.” said Gentala.
“Hey, Lang why are you more familiar with your aunt? Mami envies.” Mami Ajeng.
Silence smiled, “Mami I love you. I can't possibly bother the mom who's talking to Andita. So I talked to uncle and aunt.” Silang.
“Tetap mami jealous. Ana, you've been guarding Gilang all along. So at least give him back when I want to keep his.” said mami Ajeng.
“Mami, what are you saying. You are my mother, my mother. His one-one. Aunt is a second mother to me.” Said Gilang immediately approached mami Ajeng and kneeled before his mami. Gilang immediately grabbed his mami's hand and kissed her.
“Mami is my mother. That doesn't change anything. I love my mom and aunt. You are mothers to me.” Silang.
Mami Ajeng smiled and hugged his son. He's happy and happy. Then he too felt calm. The calm that he had not been getting despite receiving a lot of money from his husband. Her choice of leaving Gilang with her baby sitter was a wrong choice and a decision she would regret during her lifetime. If only he could turn back time, he wanted to go back to a time where Gilang was a child. She would take the decision of taking care of her son and see his blossoming. But that's impossible to do. Time goes on and cannot go back to the past. What happened in the past can only be learned and tried not to repeat it in the future.
After the heartwarming session ended, they went back to telling stories. Discuss this with Andita who is also in her. There's no awkwardness there. They talk worthy of family. Joking with each other. Until unconscious time has shown at ten o'clock in the night and it is time to rest.
Mami Riana and papi Riko immediately leave home. While Gilang drove Andita home.
“I'm happy. This happiness I feel cannot be described by anything. All the wounds I had felt all along disappeared without a trace. Your arrival becomes medicine for me.” said Gilang.
Andita smiled, “You should have gotten this happiness. It has nothing to do with me. I'm just the one who's next to you when you can feel your happiness.” Andita.
Gilang nodded because he did not want to argue.
About 15 minutes later, they finally arrived at Husna's residence. They were immediately allowed to enter and Gilang immediately went down to open the door for Andita.
“We'll pick you up. Wait here.” Silang.
Andita nodded, “Sana go rest for a fresh tomorrow when leaving. Don't forget to dream of me yes.” Say Gilang later.
“Narcissistic basis.” Andita.
“No problem narcissistic same would-be wife.” Silang.
Andita also smiled, “Ah there go home. Don't flick again.” Andita blushed. Honestly, who would not try if treated like that by our loved ones.
“I love you, honey!” silang.
“Stop! Don't do that again.” Said Andita covering her face in embarrassment. It was possible that his face was flushed just not visible because the light in the courtyard was dim.
“Good. I'll go home.” Said Gilang and started to turn on his car.
“Be careful!” said Andita.
Gilang nodded, “I will inform you soon after arriving home. No need to worry.” Silang.
Andita just smiled and waved her hand until Gilang's car disappeared behind the gate.
Only then did he go inside.
“Like they've had a break. It's time for rest too.” Said Andita then immediately headed for her room.
***
On the other hand, Gentala and Zahra had just come out of the studio after finishing the movie they were watching.
“Ending is unsatisfactory. Why try just hanging like that.” said Zahra so out.
Gentala who heard Zahra's words smiled because as usual every girl will certainly comment on the film she watched if she was dissatisfied with the storyline of her film or its ending what hangs is tragic.
“Indeed it's like that life.” Gentala.
“But why try not to match up with the man she loves. Precisely married to another man.” Zahra.
“That already has a director set it up, dek.” Gentala said.
“To be sure I am not satisfied with the ending. Is every girl destined not to be able to choose? Do you have to follow family rules? Ck, I don't like things like that. Especially if separated only because of unequal social status. Why love should be equal to social status.” Zahra.
Gentala was silent and did not comment anymore because he did not know what to answer. In addition, the story of the film they watched was almost similar to what happened at this time. His and Zahra's social status was very different. Zahra comes from a family whose high social status continues to be added to the kinship relationship created between the girl and Husna whose note bene is the sole heir to the number one company. So it is not the gap and social status between them is getting further.
“Kak, why are you silent?” zahra turned to Gentala.
Gentala shook her head and smiled, “We go home?” ask Gentala.
Zahra looked at the watch in her hand then nodded, “It was already ten o'clock past. Let's just go home brother.” Zahra.
“Alright, come!” bring Gentala.
Zahra nodded then the two of her immediately walked side by side towards the elevator to get down to the ground floor.
Long story short now they are in a car that drove to the Husna residence. They are silent because they dissolve in their minds.
“That film was a bit tragic and I didn't want it to happen to me. Although our social status is different but I want to match with her. I will fight until I can be equal to his family. If it can not at least I can be respected considered to have its own value. For a girl like Zahra what wouldn't I do. She is the girl I love and she is all. I don't want another.” Inner Gentala glanced at Zahra at a glance.
“Why is my sister looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my face?” zahra asked confusedly and immediately reflected.
Gentala shook her head and smiled, “You're perfect deck. Beautiful.” praise Gentala.
“Ck, brother overrated.” Reply Zahra shy.
“Zahra, if I can't keep the deal we've made how? I honestly don't like that deal. The deal was very contrary to the wishes of my heart. What if I want to marry young like your brother-in-law and brother?” gentala lirih.
Zahra was silent because honestly she also wanted the deal not to happen and if it could be reworked she did not want to act to take such a hasty decision. But what can be done if indeed the decision has been agreed before.
“Isn't what we did tonight already in breach of that deal, brother?” ask Zahra back.
Gentala nodded, “So is the deal still valid? Can the deal be changed?” gentala.
“Defined? What does kak mean?” ask Zahra.
“The contents we update and the name becomes a marriage agreement.” Reply Gentala.
Silent
Silent
Honestly, Zahra was silent because she was shocked by what Gentala said. A wedding? Married early? Indeed his sister-in-law married young and his age with Husna was not far adrift. Just a year and a few months. But if she had to follow in the footsteps of a young married like her she wasn't ready.
“So, are you sure of what you said?” ask Zahra.
Gentala nodded, “After I thought about it again I was sure to step there. Nothing would make me hesitate to get married if it was you. We will learn together to build a household.” Gentala.
“Kak, getting married is not that easy. Think about it first.” Zahra.
Gentala nodded, “Alright. I'll rethink it and I hope you do the same. Honestly, I've never been this serious and I'm sure of the decisions I've made before. I'm not messing with what I said dek.” said Gentala seriously.
Zahra nodded, “Alright. I believe in you, brother. I'll think of her too.” Reply Zahra.
After that the atmosphere in the car returned to silence because the two dissolved in each other's minds.
Zahra himself felt this discussion was quite stressful and draining the brain. He had to rest and make a decision on this matter. Who tries who does not want to marry our loved ones but not with rash decisions as well.
Marriage is the longest service. Do not regret it later just because the decision was taken in a hurry. He only wants to get married once and that can only be realized with men who both have the same vision.
Dissolved into a state of silence to make them not aware that they had arrived at Husna's residence.
Gentala immediately went out and opened the car door for Zahra, “Thank you brother!” zahra.
Gentala nodded and smiled, “I'm home?” ask Gentala.
Zahra nodded, “Be careful her return home and ka-” said Zahra disconnected.
Gentala nodded, “I will definitely tell you.” Reply Gentala.
Zahra also smiled embarrassedly with Gentala's answer, “Sana you come in. Rest. Tomorrow is there a course?” ask Gentala.
Zahra shook her head, “Stay there rest. It was late at night. Please apologize for not stopping by.” Gentala.
Zahra nodded, “Hum, brother also rest once arrived.” Reply Zahra who is nodding Gentala.
After that Gentala went back into his car and immediately went home.
Zahra waved her hand until Gentala's car disappeared behind the gate. After that he immediately entered the residence by walking slowly because he did not want to make a sound because he knew everyone there was already resting.
But then he was shocked by Andita who was sitting in the middle room staring at him with a smile.
“Ouh God Kak Dita's. You just surprised me. Why can you be alone here.” Zahra said softly as she stroked her chest.
“I'm waiting for you.” Answer Andita relax.
“But it doesn't have to be by waiting like that either sis. I know he's all asleep until your existence makes me surprised where the lights are not turned on again.” Zahra said and sat down before Andita.
Andita just silently did not respond to Zahra's words, smilingly looking at the girl.
“So, are you okay?”
