Not as Beautiful as Angan

Question mark

"Assynoltom... Ma'am" That morning around the clock a middle-aged woman said her greetings on her doorstep wak Iyem.

"Waalaikum... A minute!" Shouted Wak Iyem from the kitchen.

"Like Sutirah's Voice" he muttered as he rushed into the living room.

"Oh you, come on in!"

"Yes, I would like to see his new wife Karmin"

The female guest whispered in her ear wak Iyem.

"You will definitely not believe" Sahut wak Iyem whispered as well.

"meaning?" The woman named Sutirah asked in wonder.

"Look at it later!"

" Make me curious, what happened to his new wife Karmin mbak?" The newly arrived man asked his new wife Karmin. Who else if not Cempaka.

"Shhh! Just look at it later!"

"Where is he, mbak?" The middle-aged woman was impatient.

"After" Sahut wak Iyem.

"Nok (More)? Here Nok ! There's your in-laws" Wak Iyem grabbed Cempaka's arm and guided him to the dining room, to meet his mother Karmin or his father-in-law Cempaka.

"Now who's wak?" Cempaka did not understand, but he followed in his footsteps wak Iyem without refuting.

"Nok you! Nok is the same as Neng, if in Bandung"

"Oohs... Nok it means Neng"

" Come, come with uwak! " Wak Iyem.

" Where is wak?"

"Meet your in-laws"

"We're going to my in-laws' house now, uwak? For a moment I get ready first" Cempaka tried to release the handle wak Iyem.

"Already! You're not beautiful and-and so is. We're not going to your in-laws anyway. Because your in-laws are already in the uwak house, huh! Wait there again, come on!" Wak Iyem guided Cempaka towards the central room where Sutirah or his father-in-law Cempaka was deliberately told to wait there by Wak Iyem.

"Tirah, look! Who am I carrying? This is your daughter-in-law! Cah ayu wong Bandung, wong karo wong city can be cool karo wong village, Karmin again lanange, Strange!" Wak Iyem nyerocos while sitting Cempaka next to Sutirah's mother, Karmin.

"Oh... Cah ayu's... Ah ayu! Why eyes? How come! Could you please demen karo Karmin? (Ow... Lovely kid... Lovely boy! Why eyes? How come! Can you like Karmin?)" Sutirah put his face on Cempaka unblinkingly, After being close, he shook his shoulder repeatedly.

Unceasingly he clucked while shaking his head in astonishment.

"Sula does not believe Karmin can get a wife who is ayu tenan rich gini, oalah...

Nok! Nok!"

Cempaka remained silent without comment. Because, he did not understand the words expressed by his mother-in-law.

"Teen, Nok how is the story you can want to be the same Karmin?"

"In the same mate brother" Sahut Cempaka slowly.

"At the same soul mate brother? Didn't you hear wrong?" Mrs Sutirah asked back.

"Yes ma'am" Sahut Cempaka slowly.

"Have a sister! So, what's wrong with making a fool of Karo Karmin?"

Ms. Sutirah put on Cempaka's face with questions in her mind.

"Where's the mirror?" Ask Sutirah ma'am shortly afterwards.

"Have gone to work, ma'am" Sahut Cempaka.

"Hopefully he'll be right at his job"

Mumbles bu Sutirah.

"What's the matter, ma'am?" Cempaka doesn't understand.

"He works often wandering, not at home at work"

"Why could that be?"

"I don't know, I'm also dizzy thinking about her"

"Hopefully the future is not so anymore" Wak Iyem chimed.

"Ma'af, did you say that the mother felt dizzy thinking about Karmin, that means how? "

Mrs Sutirah did not answer her directly. But, he even looked at each other with Wak Iyem.

"And why does it seem like there's something bad about Karmin?"

Ask Cempaka anyway.

"It's okay Nok. May you feel at home here yes Nok yes, maybe this has all become the destiny of the Almighty, you become his wife Karmin, perhaps, if there is anything to say the same Mother or the same Wak Iyem. Melas temen your crew Nok (pity yourself Neng)" Bu Sutirah rubbed his head Cempaka.

Cempaka increasingly do not understand, the more astonished with the attitude and words of the mother is not about Karmin.

"Why is that really the case?" Bathinnya asked.

Until noon his father-in-law Cempaka talked a lot with Cempaka, making curiosity that increasingly seeped from his heart.

However, Cempaka did not get

the answer he expected.

Ms. Sutirah and Wak Iyem always divert their conversation whenever Cempaka asks about Karmin.

"Emak want to leave first yes Nok, later you will nginep at the house Mom ya!" He said before he came home.

"Why am I not taken to Mom's house at the time of the transfer? Why go to Wak Iyem's house first? What is this really about?" A few questions came from his mouth.

Wak Iyem and mak Sutirah looked at each other with faces full of confusion.

Both of them seem confused, what to make the right reason and make Cempaka believe.

"Uwak will live alone so Karmin brought him here first, tomorrow-tomorrow can stay at the house of Mother, Mother is also happy if you live with Mother" Bu Sutirah made an excuse.

"Yes, mak"" Cempaka could not ask any more, for free he thought. Because you will not get the real answer.

"Now Mom wants to go home first yes Nok ya" Ms. Sutirah stroked her head lovingly Cempaka.

Cempaka nodded his head, and drove the mother-in-law up to ride ojeg in the street in front of his house wak Iyem.

Upon the return of her mother-in-law, Cempaka did not move from where she stood. His mind became suspicious about Karmin's behavior. His heart wondered erratically.

"Who is Karmin?" He murmured, his nether was far away staring into the road that had been passed by his mother-in-law.

"Something seems to be hidden from me, but what are they covering up?"

Mumbled again.

Because of his henchman Cempaka with questions that roll in his mind, the sound of his motorbike Karmin was not heard by him.

Since Cempaka was brought to move to his house wak Iyem, every hour of rest Karmin always went home first to have lunch with Cempaka and also wak Iyem.

"Dad! What again?" Not even Karmin's question was heard by him.

"Hi! Daytime daydreaming!" Karmin patted his shoulder Cempaka slowly.

"Astagfirullahaladhim... Just ngagetin!" Cempaka was surprised at him.

"What are you doing again? To get serious about it" asked Karmin weakened, since Cempaka wanted to sleep together, he became soft on Cempaka.

Either to cover up the actual behavior or I don't know what.

"Ngeliatin Mom" Sahut Cempaka.

"Who's mac?" Now back to the surprised Karmin.

"May you" Cempaka passed into the house, went straight to the kitchen to make water for Karmin.

"Emak's here?" Karmin chased after Cempaka's steps, he seemed to be in disbelief.

"Yes, the cup of sweet tea is also not finished yet" Cempaka serves a cup of warm sweet tea for Karmin.

Because Iyem continued to give advice to Cempaka, she finally accepted Karmin as her husband.

She also served Karmin as a wife.

"What's that talking about?" Karmin looks worried.

"Speak a lot about your bad behavior!" Cempaka has not had time to answer his questions Karmin, Wak Iyem has answered him.

"Sir?" Karmin was so shocked, he sat down limp.

"Why worry so? Feeling that your behavior is not real, immediately turned into a real wong do not just be surprised and anxious so! He's... He's... "Then Wak Iyem while chuckling felt funny with Karmin's attitude at that time.

Cempaka listened to all the words wak Iyem and also the attitude of Karmin at that time while preparing food for their lunch.

"Daddy, what are you talking about?" Karmin glanced at Cempaka with a riled up question.

"As uwak said just now"

Said Cempaka relaxed.

"What a fact, nok" Karmin seemed to disbelieve.

" It's true, it's ah! Now we eat first, then finish eating I explain everything" Cempaka ended Karmin's question.

He deliberately made Karmin curious. Because, he was also still curious about everything that seemed to be hidden by them.

Without asking any more questions, they ended up having lunch together.

However, Karmin's face still showed a restless face for fear that his secret would be revealed so quickly.

He felt afraid that he who already had the wife, already known by Cempaka.

"But, if he already knew the real me, there's no way he wouldn't have changed his attitude towards me. He must be raging and angry, but this is normal. Meaning, Mother did not talk about it" Bathinnya scolded, while the net could not be seen Cempaka's face sitting in front of him.

At such a sight, Cempaka was indifferent. He pretended not to see it.

While Wak Iyem, while eating his net back and forth staring at Karmin who looked at Cempaka and glanced again towards Cempaka who remained indifferent.

"Let him also feel the unrest as well" Bathin Cempaka. He smiled in his heart.

Until lunch was over, no words were spoken from their mouths.

Until finally,

"Dek, let's tell you about the conversation with Mom. It's over now"

Karmin takes his promise Cempaka after he sips out his drinking water.

"Later on! Soon Karmin will have to go to work again" Wak Iyem is like deliberately making his nephew restless.

"Yes right said uwak, later just talk her" Cempaka blinked one eye to Wak Iyem who was replied by a smile.

"Already! Now go back there to work! Watch out! If you skip again! Remember that! Far away from Bandung you bring the Nok here, do not let you abandon!" Threaten wak Iyem.

"But later coming home from work, Nok story yes all that talked to Mother"

Karmin.

"Yes, I'll tell you everything"

Said Cempaka with a smile.

"Look at you smiling, my heart is calm, it feels good" Karmin seduced.

"Buck!" Cempaka.

"This is what made me want to marry her"

Karmin.

"Huh? Do you want to marry me? Meanin?" Cempaka was now surprised to hear Karmin's words suddenly spontaneously sliding from his lips.

"No! Nothing" Karmin reached out his hand to Cempaka saying he wanted to work again.

"What's wrong? You're evil!" Cempaka pinched Karmin's arm.

"Baaaw! Sick deck"

After kissing the back of his hand wak Iyem, he immediately grabbed the key of the motor and rushed out of the house.

"Assalamualaikum" he said.

"Waalaikumsalam" Sahut Cempaka and wak Iyem.

Angrily Cempaka stared at Karmin's departure.

A thousand question marks rested in his heart.
