Not as Beautiful as Angan

Because of the guile of the walnut

After Amran's arrival to Cempaka's house, Cempaka's life begins to wriggle again.

Clouds clouded little by little, in the wind that blows over him.

Pak Jati's health is getting better. His hands and feet can now be moved back, although not as well as before the stroke.

"The children are getting close, it seems like they have started to be attracted to each other" said Bu Purnama, Amran's mother.

Sa'at, his family Amran was visiting his house bu Sekar.

His family wants to ensure a connection between Amran and Cempaka.

"Yes ma'am, I hope they match each other" said Bu Sekar.

"Aamiin ya rabbal alamin" Mother Purnama guaranteed it.

"We'd better decide on their engagement day. I hope, don't wait too long. We want to see them immediately together at the pelaminan" said Bu Purnama with a hopeful smile.

"Alright then, we're the same, ma'am. Want to immediately see Cempaka coupled with the man of his dreams" Bu Sekar was no less happy with a smile engraved on his lips.

"Hem" The two candidates stared at each other. Their lips give a happy smile.

In his imagination, they were imagining their two children who were standing together in a beautiful garden.

"Hopefully there are no obstacles that cross it as well as already" Gumam bu Sekar.

"Hopefully" said Bu Purnama.

They both were so familiar talking.

Until they realize, there is a pair of eyes****** that had previously loved it.

"If the single man could marry Amran, he would have a Teacher's husband, and I, my husband, was just a driver! And now he's an ex. I can't stay silent, I don't like that single guy can get a husband whose job exceeds that of a chauffeur"

Mumbled.

"How about next month, ma'am? The date of Five, and coincidentally, that day is a holiday. Amran and Cempaka are also on holiday, so the time is long" Bu Purnama suggested.

"If bu Purnama and family have found the right time for our child's engagement, we just follow. We are sure, surely it is the best day and time for all of us" Ms. Sekar agreed to the proposal from bu Purnama, the candidate of the besi.

"Date Five, next month! Means ten more days from now, we have to be ready soon - ready"

"I want to know first from his Cempaka neng directly, is he willing to accept his proposal Amran or how? If Amran would have been willing to propose to Cempaka"

"Okay mom, it has to be. It seems that soon Cempaka will come" said Bu Sekar, he glanced at the wall clock hanging on the wall.

"Another ten days the singles want

applied by the Amran, how to make the application not be" he murmured again.

"Just kid the single, not be the same Buana that the police, uh now even got the Amran, the teacher again. Fuck, shit!"

Now not mumbling. But, grumbling annoyed.

"Assalamualaikum" Cempaka said his greetings, while trying to open the side door. Apparently he just got home from work.

"Waalaikumsalam" Sahut Kenari. He immediately came out of his hiding place.

"Trease! You're home yet?" Ask to be as friendly as possible.

"Yes brother! Mother where? Seems like there's no home" Cempaka looked around in a quiet place.

"Mother again controls the father to the hospital" Sahut.

"Ooh, the pantesan is quiet. I'm going in first, brother!"

"Don't go in the house! You go back to the house of the sister, this sister is also waiting for the same mother to come home. The door's in the lock! So can't go in" Kenari invited her sister to go home.

"Ooh so, brother? Emh, well then, I'll just go to my sister's house. I'm sick, I want to take a bath" Unsuspecting, Cempaka immediately followed Kenari's advice to go home.

Cempaka did not know that his mother was at home with Purnama's mother, Amran.

Walnuts deliberately brought Cempaka to his house, so he did not meet his mother Amran.

"If you want to eat, tuh brother cook vegetables gudeg jackfruit. That's your favorite, right?"

"Yes, sister, but I'm going to take a shower first, sultry. I borrowed a towel!"

"This is just this towel, the clean towel! That one is already in the same clothes brother" Walnuts thrust a towel that he took from the closet.

"Thank you brother, I take a shower first" Cempaka immediately went into the bathroom.

"If you want to eat, just take it yourself at the dinner table! Brother, come out for a minute!" Shouted Kenari, he rushed out of his house, somewhere to go.

After the bath, Cempaka immediately ate with greed.

At all he did not know what was being planned by Kenari, his eldest brother.

The canary accidentally left Cempaka at his house. He deliberately went to a stall some distance away from his house.

"Where is Cempaka? It was this afternoon, really! not home yet" Ms. Sekar started to worry.

"What time do you usually go home, ma'am?"

"Fifth hour is also usually already at home" Sahut bu Sekar was upset.

"When it came through the Maghrib, it did not come home either. I'm going home, Mom!" Mrs Purnama is starting to fret.

"Cempaka, where are you? Make me worry, usually never like this, come home late"Bu Sekar stared out the door, he hoped the one in waiting would be nongol there.

"Where's the canary? Already want Maghrib, surely the same mother has gone home. I have to go home soon, mom is just as afraid to worry. But, when I went without saying goodbye to kak Kenari" Cempaka was also no less worried and anxious.

Meanwhile, Walnuts are engrossed in meatball stalls. After finishing eating meatballs, instead of going home. But, he even pura - pura ngebantuin nyuci bowl while chatting ngaler - ngidul.

He deliberately did so, so that Cempaka would return home late, so he would not meet his mother Amran. Because they're home.

So, his fiancee's show timing plan must have failed!

He smiled as he dried his hands.

"Mom! I am saying yes! already want Maghrib" Canary parting to the seller of meat.

"Thank you, ma'am! Have helped me"

"Same - same mbak" Walnuts passed with a smile of victory on his lips.

"Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar"

Kumandang adhan Maghrib has been heard from the Mosque, a sign that the Maghrib prayer time has arrived.

"Alhamdulillah, the Maghrib prayer time has come. But, why hasn't Cempaka come home yet?" Bu Sekar is getting worried.

"Finished Maghrib prayer, we want to say goodbye first. It seems like the fiancee event we set again next time, it seems that it will not be able to carry out the date of Five next month" Bu Purnama seemed disappointed, because Cempaka who was waiting for him had not come.

"Don't wait a minute ma'am" Ms. Sekar tried to hold her back.

"Fear of the night in the way ma'am, next time we come here again, now we want to join Maghrib prayer first"

*

After the Maghrib prayer, they went from his house to return home to Sekar.

"Sir Walnut, where are you? I've been praying Maghrib too, he still hasn't come home. Where did he go anyway?" Cempaka was starting to worry.

As for Kenari, she smiled to herself while peering at her distraught sister.

"Later Cempaka, wait a minute! Ba'da Isya, just let go!" He muttered while grinning with vengeance.

"If I go home without saying goodbye to sister Kenari, then she will be angry. But, if I don't go home now, it's getting longer and longer. Well, how's this?" Cempaka.

He was pacing back and forth in his house Kenari, from the terrace to the back and vice versa.

"At seven o'clock, it means the time for Isya prayer has arrived. But, why hasn't my sister come home yet? Where is he really?" Cempaka is more anxious, more worried and also afraid of being angry by his parents.

"Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar" The echo of Adhan Isya has begun to reverberate.

Cempaka looked panicked. Because, he never got late like this coming home.

"Oh Allah, help me" He began to weep, his anxiety rising.

She was afraid of being angered by her parents, she also felt worried about her eldest brother who still had not come home either. He was afraid that anything would happen to his brother and nephew. In addition, he was also afraid of his own return, where he had to pass through the bamboo garden and cemetery again, where there was no adequate lighting anymore.

"I should pray Isya first, who knows after Isya, Kak Kenari came safely" Cempaka hoped.

Though the one in waiting for him, was again engrossed in monitoring his agitated self from a distance.

"It looks like he's praying Isya again,

ah ten minutes later I come out of my hiding, I ask ma'af, pretend there is this it is. Importantly, I can hold him back so that he doesn't meet Amran and his mother today!" His smile was perfect.

Seven o'clock in twenty minutes, Canary got up from her seat, and came out of her hiding place.

Slowly he moved his foot towards his house. It was only a few meters away from where he was hiding.

"Assalamualaikum, Cempaka" He said his greetings with breath made to gasp, as if he had just arrived there.

"Waalaikumsalam, brother! What's up, brother? Why just come home? Brother is okay, right? Cemara, you're fine, aren't you, baby?" Cempaka repeatedly asked his brother questions, he was afraid of anything happening to his brother and nephew.

"Well! Huh! Huuh!" Walnuts theatricalize, he adjusts his breath as if gasping for soy sauce.

"Sit down first, brother! Take a slow breath. For a moment, I'll get you some warm water first yes, let your sister calm down a bit" Cempaka immediately rushed to the kitchen, about to get some warm water for her brother.

Canary nods.

In his heart he cheered, the plan worked! The trap hit the target. No - the ticks are telling, and the tactic is perfect.

"This is my brother, drink the water first brother! Let brother's feel calm"

Said Cempaka softly.

"Yes Cempaka, thank you" Walnuts gave a cup filled with warm water.

"Nob from anywhere? Please answer me, brother!" Cempaka asked for an answer from the Canary, after the Canary put back the cup that the water had been drunk.

"Emh, brother was at the stall trying to buy something for you. But, before reaching the stall, he met his sister's friend whose house in the next village, he said he wanted to see his sister. There's good news and, brother has to go there as well. Yes, I have followed. Want to go home first, in time" replied Kenari, lying.

"Then, what's in there, brother?" Cempaka.

" There's a job opening, at a rice stall that's on the turn near the school. You know that, right?"

"Yes knows brother. It was a fairly rame rice stall and quite large again. Do you want to work there?" Cempaka wants to know.

"It was so, that's why my sister immediately left as well. But, after knowing it works until eight at night, yes brother does not want it. Pity Cemara if you have to stay until night" said Kenari reasoned.

"Yes brother, pity Cemara then. Emh, thank God that's all that makes you late to go home. By the way it's eight o'clock now, brother. I have to go home, brother! Pity mom as you are afraid to worry, I am not used to go home this late"

" Do you dare go home alone?" Ask Kenari.

"No"

"If the sister nganterin, it means that the sister must stay at the mother's house. Brother does not dare if you have to go home together Cemara here"

"Yes, just stay there, sister!" Cempaka persuaded him to drive himself home.

Walnuts are silent, seems to be thinking.

"How about asking for antherin with Dedi alone, if it's not wrong he's now working the night, entering at ten. Usually he likes to leave at nine more, he would like to go through here, through the front of the house brother" Kenari gave a proposal.

"Well brother then, I'll be with Kang Dedi" Cempaka agreed.

Canary smiling happily. And, he laughed out loud in his heart.

"My guess was eaten by him! Champaka! Champaka! You are very innocent" muttered Kenari, his lips could not be separated from the smile.

"It's only nine o'clock less" Cempaka muttered fretfully.

"A little while deck! You just wait in front, so that if Dedi's kang passes, you can see it"

"Surely she'll pass by soon"

Walnuts out to meet Cempaka.

"No, miss Dedi!" The canary pointed at a man, who was heading towards his house, with his bicycle.

"Kang! Dedi Kang! Here's a minute!" The canary calls kang Dedi.

"What's tea?"

"Was Dedi going to work?" Ask Kenari.

"Yes tea, what's up?"

"All the Cempaka anterins! Kang Dedi passed through mom's house, right? Yes, bu Sekar"

"Ooh, does Cempaka want to be with me?"

"Yes, he's afraid to go home alone, it's already night! I can't do it" said Kenari.

"Ooh, can. Hayu neng's!" Said kang Dedi.

"Thank you, kang Dedi. Ma'af is a hassle"

"Nothing"

"I go home first, brother, Assalamualaikum" Cempaka said.

"Waalaikumsalam, be careful!"

"Yes my brother"

Kang Dedi pedaled his bike slowly, leaving behind a smiling Canary happily, because, his strategy worked.

"Trease! Champaka!" Canary smiled cunningly.
