Only One Heart

Silly deal

Aika let out a long sigh when she did not find the email she expected to be on her inbox list. This is the ninth day from the time Aika entered a job application letter at a swata company in Jakarta. Not for the first time, because previously he also had time to enter a cover letter to several other companies, but the results were the same. None of the companies sent a response from his submission. Is there something wrong with your CV? Thought Aika was bouncing. She is not a type of woman with brilliant achievements, but the achemic value is quite satisfactory. Aika has always been in the top ten talent category during school, and she is a Master of Economics with a GPA of 3.35. that's not too bad, right? Jess, who was passing through the middle room to the kitchen, was about to take a drink of water, accidentally peeked at the message box that Aika was looking at with a sad face full of hope. The thirst of the pregnant woman was wiped out, changing in curiosity with Aika's pitiful facial expression. “Why, face?” Jessica approached and dropped her buttocks on the arm of the single sofa Aika occupied. The one he spoke looked up, his lower lip throbbing down. “Gue waiting for a work call,” he answered nelangsa while tilting his head, put him to sleep on jess' thighs that since pregnancy looked fatter. “Oooo .. I guess elo again break up!” sahut Jess indifferently. His hand he moved to play the hair of the sister-in-law who was then allowed to unravel. “ish, elo, mah. I'm serious about this!” Aika straightened her back and looked at Jessica fiercely. A pinch of her hair wrapped around Jess' index finger came loose as she slightly distanced herself. “Ck! Also looking for work. After all, that chick ends up in the kitchen too, right?” “Ke kitchen, yes?” Aika sneers. “But, really, I never saw elo cook, anyway?” Checkmate! Aika seemed to know the most powerful technique to silence Jessica's thin lips so that she no longer chirped. Because, now the brother-in-law is really silenced with both cheeks inflated. “Yang said your brother was real, really, Ka.” Mama who did not come from where, chimed in. The middle-aged woman placed the snack she had just made on the low table that was in front of Jess and Aika. Two young women of that age stared at the jar that the mother carried with her sparkling eyes. But they have not been able to take it, mama has already mengultimatum. “That's for guests!” Grunting, Aika replied. “Kan, Aika can not continue to ride with Mama-Papa.” “Hush! Watch what you say Aika. No child lives with his parents.” Mama slightly raised her voice, disagreeing with the idea of the youngest daughter who had never filtered every word that came out of her mouth. “Denger yes, dear,” he stepped closer to Aika and sat on another long sofa. “Girls will remain the responsibility of her parents before being handed over to the men who come to propose,” she said, straightening. “Mama won't ban you, no matter if you want to work, that's your right. But never use the word ride on us, Ka. Your parents! Understand?” Aika's thin lips advanced a few inches and received advice from Santi, her mother. But he didn't mean to stop Mom. Just make it feel. How do you know that Santi would be offended so. “Lagian, the talk of Jess is actually, kok.” Hearing himself can be a defense from the mother-in-law, Kontan published a five-finger smile from Jessica's lips that had been a manyun. He agreed while glancing at Aika from the corner of his eyes with a mocking look. Yang Aika replied with a subtle slow snort. “From job search, mending you find husband, gih!” Eh? Both Aika and Jess turned to each other with confused frowns. As they recall, what Jess said earlier was not about marriage. So where did the topic of husband seekers referred to Santi? “You do, you want two five. Not good you know, married women over that age,” added the mother, not realizing the mouth of her youngest daughter who had been gaping. Still do not understand, why the topic of conversation about work can quickly start a wedding? “What mama mean?” ask Aika, between confused and unacceptable. “Think of finding a husband as easy as buying peanuts on the side of the road, what!” “Mild, really. As long as the elo is not expensive to sell!" Jessica even responded, inviting a sharp glance from Aika who was slightly offended by her words. "What do you mean?" "Yes, I mean, if there's a guy who deketin, don't elo-danggepin use fangs!" Jessica stood up, away from Aika, moved into the position of the sofa occupied by the mother-in-law, just in case Aika scared to shake her head if she let go of talking. "Elo think I'm a vampire, use fangs?!" Aika frowned, annoyed at the judgment of two people at once. Two against one, surely Aika lost a landslide. "That's it, just the term doang! I mean, if there is a guy who is trying to deketin, yes elo welcome aja. Don't use my face as well as a wry smile as usual." Jessica inched closer to her, when she saw Aika pick up a sofa cushion squashed on the girl's back. Just in case Aika intends to throw him with the pillow. "Well, if I don't like it, I can't take it, right?" Aika belittles. The pillow she was about to throw on Jess' head had to end up on her lap, as the victim sought refuge with her. Damnit damnit! "Mama agrees with Jess. You don't want to be a spinster, do you?" ask Mama with a look without sin. Ignoring Aika's folded face. "Well, how ugly is that, anyway?" "Your mother never prayed badly, like your children. Mama just said the worst possibility, if until now you are still acting like an expensive selling snob." Aika's cheeks puffed up to hear my mother's words. One side justifies what Jess and Mama say. Aika was always away from the men who had been trying to get close to her. But, Aika does not accept being called a costly selling snob, because according to her, she only tries to protect herself from those who may just want to mess around. Moreover, the rise of rape that lately is often a topic of news in various media. "Jess has a suggestion, Ma." Jess's voice sounded too cheerful, attracting the attention of Aika who was staring at the moton at Santi. The girl's eyes narrowed suspiciously, suddenly the fur of her romance stood all. What Aika knew, whatever Jessica proposed, must have harmed her. "What?" Santi asked with interest. "Why do we make a deal!" Jessica looked at mom, then Aika. Getting a sharp shot from the sister-in-law, Jessica hurriedly returned the focus of her eyes to Santi with a wide grin. In her seat, Aika gulped. "To ... what deal?" Jess' smile turned into a sneer. "Within a month, if there's a guy coming to propose, Aika should accept!" "WHAT?!" Aika's body jumped. He rose to his feet with two almost fused eyebrows and a gaze as sharp as the samurai he was pointing at Jess. The sofa pillow that had been sweetly bent on his lap, fell slid to the floor of the living room covered with a hairy carpet. If the gaze can kill, it is certain that Jess's body has been flushed with the entire body torn apart due to the honey-brown neutra spray that Aika floated. "May too!" unlike Aika, the mother actually agreed. "No! No! No! It's delicious!" aika's voice was rising. He said with both hands thrown into the air. Rejecting the crazy proposal of Jesaica. "Gima if who came to bed that his face was ugly, fat, old, not yet established, or even his age in the bawan Aika? No anyway!" "Yes, if the one who came to bed the kayak you mentioned earlier, even if you accept it, Mama will not agree, Ka." Mama's words were quite successful in making Aika breathe a sigh of relief. He slammed his body back into the sofa. Every look in his eyes met Jess' bright brown marbles, a sharp delicacy he showed the very annoying sister-in-law. "I mean gu-gue, gini you know, Ka ...." Jessica licked her lower lip which suddenly felt dry. A little trepidation faced the anger of Aika who had always had a somewhat bar-bar attitude. "For example, in one month there is a guy with a pretty face, well established, and at least his age is the same age as elo, you have to accept. How's it? This is right, for the good of you too, Ka." said Jess, who was greeted by her mother with a nod of enthusiasm. Aika grimaced in heart. He's still 24. Okay, almost 25, but still young. Do not compare with Jess who wants to marry at the age of a young enough, because it is the request of bang Riko who is almost three heads. "This deal only lasts one month, really, Ka. If in one month no one comes to Papa for lamar elo, yes. The deal's over." Jess added. "After all, accepting a proposal doesn't mean you're getting married, right?" Santi chimed in, making the princess added gamang. Aika is still tight-lipped. His back was tired, he rested on the sofa with his head held up. His eyes were fixed on the ceiling of the middle room. Thinking, there was no harm in agreeing with Jessica's proposal. At worst, she will have a standard-faced but quite established husband. "Whatever it is, huh!" aika finally broke up. Perhaps this is how to bring the dream soul mate who has been secretly waiting for. After all, Jess said, this deal only applies to the next month "What do you want?" ask Jess girang. Ensuring the willingness of the sister-in-law. "Hmmm ...." "Look, Mama's new kid!" sigh Santi, relieved. "Yuhuuu ...." Jess whistled meaningfully. In a hurry he picked up the phone in his pajama pocket, and typed in a chat with the person across the street.
