"Carmin! Open door!" Canary screaming calling Karmin upon his arrival in Mayang, his wife Karmin.
" Yes, just a minute!" Sahut Karmin from the rented room.
"Mom, come in!"
The canary immediately went into the rented room.
"It's a quick drink! Spend it!" Canary orders while giving a bottle whose water has been given winnows by Eyang.
"What's this?" Karmin asked curiously.
"Don't ask too many questions! Just have a drink. This is all for the smooth running of our plans, I deliberately went home from work half a day, then all the way to the place of Eyang, my teacher. Comeing! Get a quick drink, spend it before your wife gets home from work. Beware, do not get caught with your wife" Walnut told Karmin to immediately drink the water he carried.
"Yes ma'am" Karmin immediately opened the bottle cap, then he drank the contents until it was gone.
"That's dong! Emh, your wife is coming home soon, I need to get out of here. I waited at that roadside patrol post! Later after your wife comes, you just find a reason to go where it used to be. Later we will go to my mother's house, to meet Cempaka. I'm leaving first, you're quickly ready - ready!" The canary immediately rushed out of the rented room.
Half-running Kenari left Karmin, heading to the patrol post which was quite far from his contract Mayang.
"Don't let me get caught with Mayang or Ratna" said Kenari as he accelerated his footsteps.
"Four hours and five, Mayang means he's out of work, maybe he's on his way home" he murmured.
Shortly after, Kenari had reached the back of the patrol post, he immediately slipped into the patrol post. He sat there with a slight bow, so as not to be seen from the outside.
"My husband does not want to return to Indramayu, meaning he has not been to work for a few days" Suddenly, Mayang's voice heard talking about her husband.
The canary held his breath slightly.
"Maybe he still misses you" Ratna's voice sounded Mayang.
"Mending if the kangen is the same me, if there is a certain intent, how? Do you also know how he is? Can't bear to see a beautiful girl, because you can't have children. So I glanced at another woman" said Mayang annoyed.
"Are you barren?" Ask Ratna.
"Yes not! If I am barren, it is impossible for me to menstruate every month" said Mayang.
"Yes too, yeah. Then, it means the barren Karmin mas" said Ratna.
"Yes, only he did not want to say barren" There was a tone of emotion in Mayang's words.
"When I'm home, I'm lucky I've been hiding here. So I never met him, I was always lucky" he murmured.
He also sat as usual, not bowing his body again, because what he feared had passed away.
"Hearing Mayang's words, it means it is very appropriate that I choose the Karmin to be her husband the singles" muttered Kenari happily, she smiled triumphantly.
Walnuts kept smiling while imagining Cempaka's wedding later.
"A very simple wedding. Far from the word festive, there are no invited guests, no seuseurahan, because the coming is also only the Karmin alone, a very embarrassing wedding. But, it makes me happy and satisfied to see it. Later I will make it, as much as I can, just careless makeup, ha... Ha... Oh...!" Walnuts muttered to themselves while laughing alone, so that Karmin who was already there was also not aware of his presence.
"Mom, mom! Why ma'am?" Karmin.
"Mother! Miss Kenari, why ma'am?" Karmin again reprimanded him while shaking - shake his shoulder Canary.
"Eh, ah, uh what's up? What's up?" Walnuts flutter from shock.
The daydream was gone immediately.
"You, just ngagetin!" Shake the canary with annoyance, the beautiful daydream was scattered unnoticed.
"Ma'af ma'am, I was surprised to see the mother from earlier smiling for herself, I was afraid of why-why mother" Karmin said soberly.
"It's okay, I'm just imagining your wedding with my sister later, so happy so I'm smiling to myself, that's all!" Casually, Canary answered.
"When do we go?" Karmin asked impatiently.
"Now too. Did you reason with your wife?" Ask Kenari curiously.
"I said I'd go back to Indramayu now!" Karmin said the reason.
"He immediately allowed it, yes I am happy because I will meet a girl as beautiful as Cempaka. Later after meeting with Cempaka and dating him, then I went back to Indramayu, steady right the reason I gave to my wife?" He said again with a smile.
"Then, all right now we're off" Canary came out of the patrol station.
"We take the transport from here, let's get to my mother's house" Canari was impatient.
Karmin just obeys what Kenari says. In his mind there was only Cempaka who continued to dance in his eye peluk.
In just a few minutes, they had stopped the public transportation they were riding. Because, you have to replace it with another vehicle that goes to his house bu Sekar.
"Where else are you going, ma'am?" Karmin asked for the next direction.
"We cross first, then take another public transport that way" Canary pulled Karmin's hand to take him across the road that lay before him.
"We're taking that blue public transport, come on!" Walnuts pulled Karmin's hand again to invite him into the public transport car.
"From here, ma'am?" Karmin asked after they sat in the public transport car.
"Lumayan, just two kilometers away from here" replied Kenari.
Karmin remained silent after he had taken the sign to understand what Walnuts had said.
"Left!" The canary stopped his public transport car right in front of a sizable alley, which was about to head to his house.
"Here, ma'am?" Karmin dyed after being in front of that alley.
"Yes, get into this alley! About five or seven minutes walk" Walnut walked with Karmin down the alley.
"My chest, pounding like this" said Karmin, holding his chest.
Canary did not deny it, she just turned her head for a while with a smile.
"Cempaka's home yet?" Mumam Walnuts.
"If he doesn't have a course, this hour is already at home. But, if he goes to college first, he can go home to the Maghrib sometimes at eight in the evening"
"If the Cempaka hasn't come home yet, how about it?" Karmin's worried.
"Yes, just wait till he gets home, will you?" Walnuts tried to tempt Karmin.
"Where am I waiting?"
Ask Karmin.
"Yes, at my mother's house"
"I'm ashamed, you are!"Karmin.
Canary smiled after hearing it.
" We've arrived, this is his house! Let's go in!" Said Kenari when his steps had arrived in front of the gate of his mother's house.
"Ooh, have you arrived? This her house? Great, great again. His parents bu Kenari apparently a rich man, yes" Karmin was stunned to see the house of the nice and spacious Sekar bu.
"Yes, you will stay in this house if you marry my sister"
Karmin smiled happily.
"Assalamualaikum" said Walnut
opening the side door of her mother's house.
"Waalaikumsalam" Bu Sekar answered him, because he happened to be in the middle room, close to the side door of his house.
"Cempaka's home, ma'am? This is something exciting" said Kenari while sitting on the sofa there. While Karmin was still outside, he was sitting on the edge of the terrace looking at the blooming flowers.
"Who's looking for him?" Ask Bu Sekar, his eyes look for him outside the house, and stop at someone who is sitting there.
"That's the guy who sent a letter to Cempaka yesterday" said Kenari.
"Ooh, is that the guy?" Said bu Sekar.
"Trease! Come out dong, there's a need, there's a surprise for you!" Shouted Kenari from behind the door of his room Cempaka.
"What's up, brother? I just came home from work" Lazily Cempaka answered.
"Don't be lazy ah, it's your future has come!" Say Walnuts again.
"My future? What and who?" Cempaka is not out yet.
"The one yesterday brought you an acquaintance, who sent you a love letter yesterday" replied Kenari.
Cempaka was silent.
"Lazy ah" Sahut later.
"You are, it's so hard to tell! Already said brother too, don't think much! Remember age, shame no friend is the same age as you are now" Walnuts began again to upset Cempaka who heard it.
"Trease! Quickly open the door! Or, I'll blow the door!"Shouted the Walnuts out loud, The canaries started to get emotional.
"Yes, yes for a minute! I'll open the door" Cempaka moved, walked to the door of his room, then he opened it.
"Other times, brother, I cape, many more tasks from my campus that I have to finish as soon as possible" said Cempaka, he did not open the door wide, he just looked at his head.
"Not many reasons! There is a man who wants to marry you, this is even busy with college assignments. It's already! His job later! The most important thing now is that you have to marry her! Not with others, who only give false hope, marry her no, just talking. Remember that! You're not a teenager anymore, almost thirty years old you are now" Canary pulled Cempaka's hand violently.
"Sister! Why the hell do I mean this? Married now or later, it's me not a sister. Why is it that big brother sewot? If according to the older brother is good everything, then just marry the same sister! Brother doesn't have a husband, why force me to marry him?" Said Cempaka with annoyance.
"Now you dare to say so to your brother! It's already! Don't talk too much!Come outside!" Walnuts pulled Cempaka's hand out of her room, then led her to the living room, where Karmin sat there.
"No! Your future is waiting for you!" Walnuts said, he glanced his eyes at Karmin.
Cempaka looked at him with a frown as he was thinking.
"Looks like he's got a wife" Bathinnya.
"I'm Karmin" Karmin extended his hand to Cempaka.
Walnuts immediately directed Cempaka's hand to receive Karmin's hand.
Cempaka said she did not like the treatment of her brother.
"Thank you, the reply to the letter I have read" said Karmin opened the conversation.
"What letter?" Cempaka was shocked to hear that. Because he didn't feel like writing his reply.
"Already, already, do not need to discuss the issue of a reply letter, we discuss the other more serious"
Walnuts mediate as well as silence his mouth Cempaka so as not to prolong his problems. Because he was afraid of telling his lies.
They also talked about other problems that lead to marriage.
"Mom, all marriages are yes ma'am, he is far away so do not have a fiance first" said Kenari said his opinion to Bu Sekar.
"Where will it be, if you want to know first the answer from Cempaka, whether he wants it or not, now you will not make him suffer again, you will not force him, pity him, pity him, there has been too much suffering that he has experienced and comes from us, his own family" said Bu Sekar with a soft word.
During the conversation, Cempaka was silent not responding to what Kenari said.
"I want to go back" Cempaka rushed to the back, which was not really the bathroom. But, he went into his room Seruni, his youngest sister.
He was annoyed by all of Canary's words.
Almost half an hour Karmin and Kenari waited for Cempaka in the living room. But, Cempaka never come, of course this makes Kenari feel very upset.
