Not as Beautiful as Angan

Question mark

"Mom, I'm leaving now yes, it's been waiting for" Carnation's voice sounded faintly to Cempaka's room.

"Yes careful!" A voice of Bu Sekar answered him.

"Where are you going, this early in the morning?" Cempaka wondered in his heart.

"Astaghfirullah!" Bu Sekar jumped in shock.

"Okay, Cempaka! You just ngagetin mom" he said while arranging his chest down and up.

"Mother why? coco! surprised so"

"No, nothing. I'm just surprised" Sahut bu Sekar.

"Where's Ainyelir going ma'am? It's still this morning" repeated Cempaka curious.

"Emh, want to go to his grandmother Lightning, he said his grandmother asked where in the anterin? I forgot" Mom Sekar just answer.

"Enak ya bu when it's fiancee, her grandmother also seems to love Anyelir" Gumam Cempaka.

Bu Sekar could only gulp his saliva, his tongue twitching to give an answer.

"Then I lied again, O Allah. What kind of mother am I?"

Bathinnya.

"Later, your husband's family will love you"

Entertain bu Sekar.

"Amiin" Cempaka assures.

"Hopefully my son" his Do'a.

"Mom, I went to the kitchen first ma'am, I haven't washed the dishes" Cempaka went to the kitchen to do his job.

Bu Sekar just nodded slowly. His heart was filled to see Cempaka who was always hurt.

He also participated in the lie.

"Oh my God, what should I do? Forgive your mother this is my son" Bu Sekar stared fixedly at Cempaka's back from a distance.

The one in his eyes was busy cleaning all the dirty dishes, which were piled up in the sink.

It is sad indeed, while the sister is busy taking care of her wedding invitation card. As for him, he did not know it at all, even though he lived under one roof. They are very good at theatricality.

*

After the invitation was printed, Lightning and Carnation were busy writing down the name and address of the person to be invited.

With passion, the two instantly spread it out anyway.

Counting the days.

"Hopefully Brother Cempaka does not know what we are doing" he hoped.

"Hopefully" said Lightning slowly.

"Light and how does Seruni? Can they keep their mouths shut?"

Lightning worries him.

"God willing, they can watch their mouths. They've been in the same way mother as well" Anyelir also somewhat hesitant to say it.

"Live four more days of your party, remember! Everyone should be able to keep their mouths" Ms. Tari reminded everyone in her house.

" But ma'am, what if Cempaka finds out from someone else?" His brother Lightning spoke up.

"Emh, yes too. Almost unthinkable to us. Then, what if this happens?" Carnations flutter, she's afraid the party's failing.

"We need to think of a way out. This is not a trivial thing, if events like you imagine happen" Mr. Andro said anxiously.

"We must act immediately" Carnations stared at the Walnuts, like asking for help. Because he knew that his eldest brother had a cunning brain and hated Cempaka very much.

"Quiet, brother knows how. You better meet Cempaka right now, before he knows the truth" said Kenari.

"What's the way, brother?"Flowers are curious about her new stratagem Walnut.

"Cempaka wants you to do something at mom's house, she'll love it" Smiling Walnut said.

"What is that brother?" Everyone seems curious.

"Cempaka likes to sew. Brother wants to pretend to ask for clothes, so he's not going anywhere. She must have stayed home before her clothes were finished in the sewing" Smile Walnuts.

"May also have his idea. But, Cempaka is now in college on Sunday" Flowers fret, he does not feel sure his wits will work.

"Oh yes, the single now has a new activity. How ya?" Canary thinks hard.

"what time is college usually? And, what time's it coming home?" Ask Lightning.

"He likes to leave at seven more, usually. And go home around the time of Tigaan" Flowers explained.

"We must take care of it now, before the day comes. During these three days, can everyone keep a secret?" Miss Tari is worried now.

"Look, for these three days, we should not talk much with the singles, let us not go to the ceplosan" proposes Kenari.

"Yes, it seems that it is the only way, I agree brother" Anyelir immediately agreed with his proposal Kenari.

"I also agree sis" Lightning pointed out in agreement.

"Alright then, we keep the same distance as him" said Kenari happily.

Cempaka who became the talk of sa'at, still filled with question marks that do not know the answer.

Come the day H, the day of the wedding of Carnations and Lightning. Which will be directly in the house of his residence bu Tari, his mother Lightning.

It has been two days Anyelir did not go home to the house of Bu Sekar.

She was busy preparing for her wedding.

This made a question mark on Cempaka's heart.

That morning after dawn, Bu Sekar was already preparing to leave. Although it seems a bit forced.

Mr. Jati just stayed in his study, like there was something he was thinking.

While all her children have been in her house bu Tari since yesterday. Only Cempaka was home. He was not ready to go to college. Because it's still too early.

"Sir, why stay here? Why aren't you ready?" Bu Sekar said slowly, he was afraid his voice sounded the same Cempaka.

"Father confused ma'am, I was wrong, did not do justice to our son" he murmured softly.

"Yes mom is the same sir. But, how else? Besan we've prepared everything. There's no way we're not attending the party. Everything is done, it can't be repeated. Mother also had to sir, if we are not present, how? Present also how? I'm confused too sir"

Both of them were silent, seemed to calm the heart to find the words that will be conveyed to Cempaka.

"What about Cempaka, ma'am?" Jati sir doesn't seem to have the heart.

"By having to lie again sir, there is no other way"

The sound of Bu Sekar.

"Mom... Mother where is it? Now what are we cooking?" Cempaka went to look for his mother in the kitchen. He did not know that his parents were confused in the workspace.

"Fuck mom, how is this?" Bu Sekar even misbehaved.

"Meet me first, ma'am, lest he suspect the same of us" said Mr. Jati.

"Yes, sir, I went out first to meet Cempaka" With a little tugged-up bu Sekar came out to meet Cempaka who was already in the kitchen.

"What are you cooking, ma'am?" After Bu Sekar was beside her.

"It's easy, son, it's an egg. We make egg omelet just the same stir-fry so not long. You're going to college, right?"

"Good ma'am" As usual Cempaka helped his mother cook in the kitchen. He was unsuspecting at his mother's rather clumsy demeanor before him.

DEG!

That question made Bu Sekar surprised.

To the extent that the plate he was holding fell to the floor.

"Whoo!" Bu Sekar gave a startled cry. He stared at the broken plates strewn across the kitchen floor.

"Mother? Is it okay?" Cempaka immediately approached Bu Sekar, and swept him into a chair.

"Mom may be tape an, I'd better rest first, let me continue"

"Drink warm tea water first ma'am, let it calm down a little" Cempaka offered his mother a cup of warm tea.

"Makasih Cempaka" said Bu Sekar while directly drinking it.

While Cempaka, clean up the broken plates scattered on the floor.

After that, he continued his work which had been delayed.

Bu Sekar looked at him with eyes blocked by a puddle of tears.

Before Cempaka knew, she immediately wiped her tears with the tip of her veil.

"It's over, ma'am, which father? We have breakfast now yu" Cempaka arranged neatly on the dining table.

"Father in his study"

"I call ya ma'am" Cempaka headed to his study, Mr. Jati.

Before long, Mr. Jati had walked hand in hand with Cempaka to the dining room.

"Sepi ya bu, everything on the go" said Cempaka on the sidelines of his kunyahan.

"Ohokay!" Bu Sekar and Pak Jati choked together.

Cempaka immediately offered a glass of water to his mother and father.

"What time are you going to college?" Jati tried to neutralize the atmosphere. He hoped that Cempaka would not ask about the invitation again.

"Later at half-eight pack" he said, staring at the new wall clock showing at 6. past 30 minutes.

"Mom and dad are leaving at what time for the invitation?"

Again Cempaka asked about the invitation.

"Emh, emh, in a moment" Responded by Jati sir.

"Where is the place?" Cempaka asked again.

"In, where is mom? His place. I kind of forgot" Mr. Jati said while holding the turmoil in his chest.

"What sir?" Apparently, Bu Sekar also did not concentrate. She was shocked by her husband's question.

Cempaka looked at the faces of Jati and Bu Sekar alternately. He was suspicious of his parents' unusual attitude.

"Mom, sir, I'd like to get ready to be afraid of being late" Cempaka did not extend his suspicions.

He immediately went to his room.

"Yes, yeah... I also want to be ready too" Sahut bu Sekar clumsy.

With a thousand question marks on his mind, Cempaka passed by to his room. He tried not to care.

"Sir! Mom is confused"

"Sama is also mom. But we all have to face it together. We have already joined our plan to join our besan" Mr. Jati resigned to the situation.

"Mom, sir, I'm leaving now yes" Suddenly Cempaka was in front of the two, saying goodbye about to go to college.

"Yes, yes, son"

"Assynoltom... " Cempaka passed after kissing the hands of his mother and father.

"Waalaikum... Careful son!"

"Yes mom, sir! Mothers and fathers are also careful!" Reply Cempaka.

"Come sir! We get ready too, not good with our besan family. I'm sorry I'm the same father yes Cempaka" Gumam bu Sekar.

Carnations and Lightning have been sitting together in the chair pelaminan, on the terrace of his house bu Tari.

The decoration is very luxurious. Bu Tari deliberately took the most luxurious makeup on sa'at.

"You look so beautiful, and you're so handsome. You guys are a compatible couple" Praise Kenari to his sister.

"Thank you brother" Anyelir said spoiled.

"It's eight o'clock, but mom and dad haven't come yet?" Carnation a little snatch.

"Again on the road as possible" Entertain Lightning.

"If they don't come, I won't forgive my two parents" Carnations threatened.

"Hey, patient dong dear. Don't be! Not well. Shame on! The guests have started to arrive. That fix his lips don't be so manyun, ugly!" Flowers that suddenly stood beside him.

"Yes brother" Carnations answered him while grinning the horse.

"Congratulations neng Carnation, a Lightning" One by one the invitees congratulated the bride and groom.

The wedding party was very lively, all seemed to rejoice, no one remembered and cared for Cempaka.

"Assynoltom..." About ten o'clock less Sekar and Jati sir just arrived at his house bu Tari.

"Father, mother and father have come" Flowers called out in joy.

"Not come yet. But, just came! Guests have also come from earlier, this has a new interest nongol" Kenari ngedumel.

"Basar, the father of the same mother was too busy considering his feelings of the single Cempaka" again Kenari ngedumel.

"Message, welcome. Thank you for coming here" Bu Tari sumringah welcomed bu Sekar and Pak Jati who just came.

"Yes ma'am, ma'af just arrived" said Bu Sekar.

"Assalamualaikum sir Jati, ma'am. Congratulations on the marriage of his daughter" Suddenly someone said hello and congratulations to Jati and Bu Sekar.

"Eh, yes, yes thank you" Gelagapan pak Jati and bu Sekar welcomed him. Because, the ones who congratulated him were the teachers in his school.

He did not feel invited to her.

"Cock! Ms Arum and the other teachers at her wedding came to the Carnation and Lightning, ma'am? Who invited them?" Mr. Jati asked confusedly to Bu Sekar, who was both confused.

"I didn't see Cempaka? Where is she ma'am? I hadn't seen her for a long time" Ms. Arum spread her gaze around.

"Emh, emh Cempaka in, behind maybe" Bu Sekar was confused to answer what.

She did not expect that teachers would come to her wedding. Because he didn't invite her.

"Please enjoy the dish" Bu Sekar tried to be reasonable.

"Neng Carnation is not it, his sister neng Cempaka yes ma'am? Not surprisingly, he got a mate first" said Bu Dusk while taking his favorite chocolate pudding.

"Yes, his name is also a soul mate, no one knows. But, we seem to have not seen the Cempaka neng yes" the other teacher asked about the whereabouts of Cempaka.

"Ma'af mothers, Our fathers stay for a while, please enjoy the dish" Ms. Sekar took her husband's hand to bring back.

"Yes ma'am, please" said everyone.

Mr. Jati and Bu Sekar were struggling to find a place a little far from the crowd.
