For a few months Lightning and Carnations played with the cats of Cempaka.
When Cempaka is not home, then Lightning is allowed to come to visit, talk with his parents.
But, when Cempaka was at home, everyone in the house fell silent. As if there was nothing.
Like that time, Cempaka was at home because he was on annual leave. They talked about all the things that were not related to Carnations.
"Not working brother! " Tanya Anyelir as they passed each other in front of the door of her room Cempaka.
"No, sister, you're taking annual leave, you're alone?" Cempaka asked back.
"I'm working my afternoon, leaving soon" he said.
"Sister Anye...
Seruni did not continue his words. He soon realized because at that time there was a Cempaka. He was going to ask "Why Brother Lightning hasn't come to pick him up yet"
"Kal Anye why?" Cempaka asked curiously.
"Obviously, if Carnations work day he would like to ask for something to bring home" Bu Sekar immediately chimed in. It seems like she was afraid that Seruni would be speechless.
"What's that shit?" Cempaka said curiously.
"That's it, bs cloth to make a doll he said" Bu Sekar blinked one eye to Seruni.
"Yes, like this. I'll get you a minute" Seruni
he got up from his seat and went to his room.
"It's ka, good huh?" Soon Seruni had returned with some cloth. He showed it to Cempaka.
"Wooow! Real nice. But, this is how ko! You can take this. What if I get caught later?" Cempaka's worried.
"Nothing sis, it's a cloth bs, make the machine wipe is not used. Besides, I asked the same head of the warehouse, do not take origin" said Anyelir.
"Thank God, then, you're just worried" said Cempaka.
"At half an hour, I took a shower" Before Carnation made her way to the bathroom, she blinked one eye while smiling at her mother.
"Yes there! Take a shower, let's not have bad luck." Mom smiled back at Carnation.
"Female..." Guman Carnations while passing towards the bathroom.
Not long after that, Carnation went to work. He left alone from his home. At the end of the alley, on the side of the highway, there was someone already waiting for him. He sits down on his bike.
He is Lightning, his future fiancee.
Apparently the cats did not last long. Because one day suddenly Flowers and Sakti, her husband. Come visit his house Bu Sekar.
Cempaka had just returned from work. She had just finished her bath and entered her room.
"Assynoltom..." Say Flowers before she enters her mother's house.
"Goddessalam..." Sahut bu Sekar from the middle room.
"Where are you, really! Slippers"
The flowers look around the room that looks quiet.
"There's in each room, let's go in!" Said bu Sekar.
"I heard Anyelir already has a potential fiancee, which person is he?" The flower asked as it poured the drinking water into the cup. Then he drank it.
"Say he comes here often huh? How's that guy buu?" Ask Bunga again before Bu Sekar answers.
"He's his coworker, isn't he Buu? When is he here again?... Ooh yeah... Heard he likes to come here if they work all day, huh? They're not workmates?" The nyerocos flower did not stop.
Even though Bu Sekar had given a signal to be quiet.
The words of Bunga, very clearly heard by Cempaka who at that time wanted to open the door of his room. He was going to get out of his room, he was going to eat.
"So all this time Anyelir already had a prospective fiancee?" Mumbled wailing.
"He's been here a lot, mom and dad know. Mean...
All this time they all agreed to hide it from me" Sendu Cempaka's face.
"Mom, why would you hide all that from me?" Cempaka was sitting limp on the floor, behind the door of his room.
"Anyelir has found his soul mate. Finding her future husband, which means I. will be stepped on by Carnation" The clear spot covers her eyelids.
"O Allah..., what more trials will I receive?" The clear threads fell down one by one down both sides of his cheeks. Sad, sad, and now weaning back.
"Flower, the melanin speaks! Don't sound the same Cempaka. He did not know about this yet" Bu Sekar's voice sounded somewhat whispered. However, it was still clearly heard by Cempaka.
"Then? What would it be, if Cempaka wanted to be stepped on?" The flower asked further.
"Oh, mother is also very confused about this. It's the same as when you weren't married. At that time, Cempaka gave up for you. But, now I'm not sure that Anyelir wants to give up like Cempaka first. If Cempaka who had to give up to be stepped on by Anyelir, mother could not bear to see it" Isak crying accompanied his words bu Sekar.
"Then how's buu?"
Flowers clenched his forehead.
"So, I haven't thought about it either. Hopefully Before Lightning proposes Carnations,
at least Cempaka already has a candidate companion. So he was not stepped on by his sister" Bu Sekar dreamed.
"But ma'am, if Cempaka until long has not yet got his soul mate, how? Does the Carnation have to wait? This needs to be considered buu" Flowers seem to disagree with her wishes bu Sekar.
Hearing her words Flowers like that, Bu Sekar seemed stunned. It seems he's thinking about it.
"Look, ma'am, how about we negotiate first about this, but without being known by Cempaka. Let's ask the same flower, what does he think?" Flowers propose that.
"May also be apparently. But, I feel bad about Cempaka. If he knew from someone else, he would be hurt again. Poor him, mother really could not bear if he had to suffer again" Bu Sekar seemed to disagree with the opinion of Bunga, his eldest son.
"If we include Cempaka in the conversation, surely Cempaka feels cornered. He must be crying, lamenting his fate, we who see him will definitely not have the heart. Then how should we?" Flower Sayar.
"I'll talk to your father first. Hope your father has a solution"
Finally, Bu Sekar tried to end the conversation.
He was afraid that Cempaka would hear him.
And, all the conversation between Bu Sekar and Bunga at that time. Everything was clearly heard by Cempaka.
The hunger that had been stirring his stomach.
Now it's gone somewhere.
The hunger had changed with the pain that would soon greet his soul again.
"Why does happiness seem reluctant to stop in me, in my life?" Cempaka muttered behind her sobs.
He wept in silence, wailing in the silence of the night.
Poor people, is happiness reluctant to greet you?
Is it true that suffering always reigns firmly in your soul and life?
I don't know...
Only time will break everything.
Flowers and Bu Sekar who was busy talking, they did not realize that all the words they said sa'at, had been known by Cempaka.
Because Cempaka had heard it himself.
"What do I do, God?"
Mumbled Cempaka in between his grievous cries.
