"Not far away?" Ipin.
"Decond kok Mas," Tya replied with a smile towards Ipin.
Yes, that's right.
This is the day Ipin visited his cameraman in Jakarta. The two of them had been made 6 months before Ortu Tya gave the lamp Ijo so that their only daughter brought their girlfriend home.
Ipin obviously seneng, fish a cork fish, the faster the better. It's Ipin's favorite pantun that's fit for this affair. Therefore, even though he had to drive to Jakarta, he still jabanin.
Shortly thereafter, Ipin and Tya were nyampe in one of the upper middle housing in the suburbs of Jakarta.
"It's Tya's housing" Tya said slowly, "Tya grew up here."
Ipin enthusiastically looked around him. So this is where my girl grew up? ipin said in the heart.
A few minutes later, Ipin's car parked in front of a tall, stately fenced home.
"Masuk Mas, Papa and Mama must be at home, because Tya said she wanted to bring Mas here," said Tya with a smile.
Ipin and Tya then got out of the car and brought the souvenirs they brought from Semarang.
Arriving inside the courtyard, Ipin could see two people standing in front of the house.
A middle-aged man who looked neat and clean and a middle-aged woman whose face looked a lot like Tya.
Ipin could have guessed that they were his camer. Ipin gave his sweetest smile to the two of them.
Uh, but Ipin was shocked. His mother Tya returned Ipin's smile kindly, but his father Tya had a flat face.
"OK, maybe it is like the custom of the city people," Ipin in his heart.
Tya held Ipin's hand and the two of them finally stood in front of Papa and Mama.
Arifin took the initiative to introduce himself and invite his cameraman to shake hands.
"Ariffin, Om," said Ipin.
Papa shakes hands with Ipin but still has his face flat, Ipin starts to feel something is wrong, but he brushes it off.
"No, just calm down. Everything must be smooth" whispered Ipin inwardly.
Tya who saw Papa also felt something strange. Papa has never been that cake before, even with people that Papa doesn't like.
Ipin then shook hands with Mama and gave the souvenirs they brought from Semarang. If Mama, she welcomes the greeting of her future daughter-in-law with enthusiasm and also thanked me when Ipin gave his gift.
"You're serious about my son?" asked Papa suddenly in a tinge.
Original, Ipin immediately shocked, "kok gini anyway? To the point but the tone is not good," Ipin's inner heart.
But Ipin was undaunted, he firmly answered his camer question, "I seriously want to marry Tya Om," replied Ipin.
"You can be serious, but I don't!" replied Papa with a face that was starting to feel bad.
"Pa!!" shout Tya.
I didn't think her dad would say that. He looked straight at his guy.
Ipin's face is like getting bumped in his stomach. Mules, sick, disappointed.
This was the first time Tya had seen such an Ipin since she knew his guy.
He felt a knife being thrust into his chest. So ill.
"Ipin," whispered Tya inwardly.
"Why are you talking to Arifin anyway?" tya shouted towards his Papa with an angry face and eyes almost crying.
Tya who previously stood next to Mama immediately ran towards her lover who was still in front of her Papa.
Tya stood in front of Ipin and faced his Papa. His eyes stared furiously and as if in disbelief that the middle-aged man in front of him was now the one who had raised him all along.
"You shut up!!" said Papa.
"Papa's been raising you for decades. Papa has the right to determine your future. Including who you're getting married to!!"
"Papa?" said Tya who started crying sobbing.
Her man, her lover and her future husband said the villagers were not clear with her father. Tya had never felt more pain in his chest than he now felt.
Even when he used to be bullied because of his physical, the pain that Tya felt was nothing compared to now.
Ipin just lowered his head, "so in the eyes of the Tya family, I'm just a villager whose origins are unclear?"
He wanted to be angry, yelled, and refuted. But Ipin's own mouth was locked. The person whom he had already regarded as his own parents even before he met, was now insulting him like that.
Tya who was still crying sobbed, looked at Mama, asking for an explanation and defense, but Mama also lowered her head looking at the terrace floor of her house.
"Yes, Papa has chosen a soul mate for you. He's better than the man behind you. These villagers are not worthy to be your husband" Papa said somewhat softened while persuading his son.
He looked back at his father.
He couldn't believe Papa that long.
"Yes don't want to. Tya dear Ipin. Even if Papa replaced Ipin with a man who was a thousand times better than Ipin, Tya would not want to," replied Tya in between sobs.
"You dare to fight Papa now? After what Papa did for you?" papa said with a tone starting to rise.
"Yes, don't care. Tya dear Ipin. Tya just wanted to spend Tya's life with Ipin," replied Tya with eyes burning furiously and the sound of crying in between her words.
Ipin worried about seeing everything.
"Should I separate Tya and her Father?" whispered Ipin in the heart.
Papa looked towards Ipin, "You!!! do you see what you did to my son? Now he dares to fight me! I'm his Papa. I raised Tya, and now you've come out of nowhere and made Tya what she is today."
Ipin was more worried, Papa's words were true. Ipin knows how much Tya feels about him. He has no doubt about that. But it was precisely because it was possible that Tya dared to go against her family.
"What am I supposed to do?" lain Ipin in heart.
Tya sees the interaction between her Papa and Ipin. He could see and feel what Ipin was feeling. He could also feel Ipin's anxiety and knew what his lover was thinking.
"Mas, as long as Mas is willing, Tya willingly leaves the family and eloped with Mas. Tya dear Mas, more than anything," whispered Tya softly towards her lover.
Tya's hand clasped tightly onto Ipin's fingers. He doesn't want to see his girlfriend like she is today, because Tya loves Ipin. He will do everything for his girlfriend.
When Ipin saw Tya's eyes that had made up his mind, Ipin was like being electrocuted.
"Why am I worried? Tya chose me. Tya did it out of my affection for me more than anything, even if it was his family," Ipin whispered inwardly.
"Am I a coward?"
"Yes dare to choose me, will I let her down?"
"Tya offered himself, his soul, and his body to me. Why don't I dare to take it?"
"No. I'm not a coward" Ipin said, and he smiled, all the anxiety in his heart gone.
Ipin squeezes Tya's fingers, "I'll never abuse Tya. I love Tya."
Tya smile. He knew what choices his girlfriend had made.
Ipin did not care about everything anymore, he took Tya's hand and took her to walk outside to his car in front of the fence.
"Fuck your blessing, I'll take your son away" muttered Ipin, who was greeted with a sweet smile.
The two of them took a slow step while holding hands, leaving the house where Tya grew up as a child. Over time, their slow steps turned into a small run and they both smiled happily.
Running towards the future of both of them.
"Pa," called Mama slowly when she saw her son being carried away by his girlfriend in front of them both.
Papa's flat face changed, she smiled a smile of relief and sadness, "our son has grown up Ma, and she got a good man as her future husband. Papa is no longer worried about Tya going to Arifin."
Mama smiled happily, she quickly ran after her only child and her lover who were about to reach the gate of their house.
"Yes, stop darling. You guys made it through Papa's screening," cried Mama.
