CHAPTER 1: MEET 1

PROLOGUES

In that incongruity

Make us meet for a view

Coincidentally, indeed

A word that was never expected

Which made me fall for you

***

"Annaaa.. tangi ndok, why wedok ko yo isuk-isuk tangi ki piye? (Wake up son, girls are not awake yet, how is it?)." Natural alarm sound from Anin's mother.

"Yeah... Buuye... Anna was awake from earlier. Shubuhan, clean the house. Anna just checked the same email again sent the kids' weekly report." Obviously Anna to the Mother who just came home from morning sports with the Father.

"Oh, huh? Mom doesn't know. Tell dong from earlier." Anin replied as she walked into the kitchen to cook and make tea for Dad.

If it has been a morning debate like this, Anna chose to be quiet, rather than answered the longer the business. Anna follows Ms. Anin into the kitchen.

"Mom, Anna's cooking for breakfast. What are we cooking again?"

Anna was ready to wash the vegetables, seeing the fryer perched on the stove, she recalled that she had cooked for breakfast earlier. Fried rice anchovy, stir-fried kale and tempe fried.

"Oohh, are you ripe yet ndok?" Ask Anin's mother while looking at Anna's cooking on the stove.

"The cook is Bue. But I don't know good or not. Hehe..." Said Anna with a sweet smile dimpled those cheeks. Just like his mother.

Ms. Anin looked at her grown daughter now. It's smart to help his mother. Stay waiting when you want to be known as a potential ghost.

A GLIMPSE OF THE PRAYOGO FAMILY

Yup. Anna Maheswari Prayogo is the eldest of two children.

Father of Bagaskara Gazhawan Prayogo and Mother of Anindira Maheswari.

Anna has a younger brother. The son of the couple from Pak Bagas and Bu Anin named Cakra Dikara Ghazawan Prayogo.

Anna is a teacher at one of the Paud - Kindergarten schools in South Tangerang. He has just completed his S2 in Early Childhood Education. He has been in the field of education for approximately 7 years. He was 27 years old, still at home with his fisabilillah single status.

Daily activity is teaching. Monday-Friday from 7:00-13:00 he taught at Kindergarten and at 16:00-21:00 he taught at one of the campuses in South Jakarta.

Sometimes on weekends he attends or becomes a guest speaker at seminars or workshops about early childhood. This Anna includes women who are independent, smart, brave, confident, easily adaptable to the environment, a polite figure when speaking words, humorous anyway, and a really hobby of traveling or going up the mountain. Anyway, if you talk to Anna.

Bagas' father was an Air Force TNI. Who will soon retire because of age and health. Now Bagas's father opened Taekwondo and Judo classes. Assisted by several other young people.

Bagas' father was one of the most disciplined people to the children. Maybe because he's a force factor. Although disciplined, Bagas' father never spoke loudly to his wife and children.

Bagas's father was a Yogyakarta-Arab-English missionary. His large, tall, and well-built posture still makes him look handsome and young.

Sometimes if again on the street or in the malls, there are some young women who are still glancing spoiled lyrics to Daddy Bagas. Likes in ledekin same Anna & Dika. Hahaa..the handsome old bapake sampe means yes...

Anindira's mother or used to greet Bu Anin. One of the mothers who rameee pake really, splashy, friendly, polite, kind, good cook, really menggeledekin his children. A mother and a friend to her children. Ms. Anin is gahooll bingitzzz. Hahaha.

In the past, she was a nurse at one of the hospitals in Yogyakarta. However, since marrying Bagas' father, she changed professions to become a housewife who has her own catering business.

Don't be sad, Miss Anin is also a Yogyakarta-Arab-German crossbreed. That's why it's not beautiful. Go to Anna. Hehe...

The son of his bontot named Cakra Dikara Ghazawan Prayogo commonly called Dika. The tall male figure is large, sturdy, stocky, bicep muscles, and torn bread shows a copy of the paste Daddy Bagas. But this is the junior version. Hehe...

This is a cold, arrogant, jutek male figure, if the same woman out there. But if at home, bully Mba Anna continues. Hahaha.

Dika followed in his father's footsteps. He was studying at the TNI AU Flight School in Yogyakarta. Who is now 20 years old. Currently Dika is at home because he is on holiday. After the holidays were over, he returned to Yogyakarta.

***

Okay, Back to the story.

Weekend gini usually dika kumpul play basketball together with the same cement-temen complex. Because Dika rarely had time to gather with his friends. Mumpung holiday.

As it is now. Anna, Ms. Anin, and Dad Bagas were sitting on the terrace enjoying tea for Father Bagas and Ms. Anin as well as flavourless milk for Anna. Although the Javanese Anna is not very fond of sweet food.

"Assalamualaik." Greet the son of Bontot Dika to his family.

"Getishalight." Answer simultaneously Bagas' father, Anin's mother, and Anna the eldest.

"What's up, Le? How to klambine kembroh kabeh? (Who did you do, son? How come his clothes got all wet?)." Ask Ms. Anin to Dika.

"Regular Buee. Haha..." Reply Dika origin while salim to Bagas and Bu Anin's father. If the same Mother? No need to worry, Dika even ngetekin Mbanya. Emang durhaka really tuh son. Haha..

"Damnah... Dica. Rese deh lo's. It stinks. Idih kettles dryet all. Sono lo bath." Said Anna with a grunt.

"Apaan sih lo Mba. Noisy early." Dika replied while sipping one glass of milk that Anna made earlier. That's milk for Anna.

"Oh Allah, this is the child of creatures. Really deh. Really jail. That's my milk, salted squid. Oh, nyebelin." Said Anna by turning her lips and resigned, because she finished her milk. Makes Father and Mother shake their heads. If the two fight. Nothing to look for. Tom and Jerry.

"Already, already. That's Mommy to ask you Dika. From that moment I noticed, how come there are some women who follow you? Keep pacing back and forth from earlier. Who else is Dika? It's home how many times the bells are pressed. You're at home." The bright Bu Anin who was astonished by his son was extraordinary like an artist. Every day there must be a person who leaves food, drinks, or a letter. Secret admirer that time yes. Haha...

"Do not know Mom. Just refuse it." Answer lightly. The handsome mah bebaasss.

That morning Bagas' father and Anin's mother invited Anna and Dika to immediately get ready to go to the wedding of his brother, Pakde Hadi, who married his son Mba Novi to Mas Heru. In one of the hotels of Jakarta.

Bu Anin and Anna are ready with matching batik long dress, long headscarf that covers the chest, simple make-up, gold tote bag for Bu Anin as well as her shoe sandal heels. While Anna with her soft brown sling bag and soft brown wedges. Simple turned. Because Miss Anin and Anna are so simple.

"Mba An, let's take the car. I'm tired." Dika said while throwing the car keys to Anna.

"Yeee. rese lo. Uda kecak kembangana gini, told to drive. Not very good. You brought it home." Said Anna by turning her lips and showing her one index finger to Dika.

"Iye, iye, take it." He got into the front seat car. Anna was behind the wheel of the car.

Anna asks Bagas' father to be her navigator. Anna does not understand the streets of Jakarta. If Anan mengahar in the Jakarta area, doi prefers to ride public transportation. If riding a motorcycle is not sanguupp. Haha...

1.5 Hours later

They arrived at the Aston Atrium Senen Hotel & Convention Center Building, Central Jakarta.

Capek ya buuukk. 1.5 hours drive in the capital. Jakarta oh Jakarta you're full of charm including her naughtiness. Subahallah..

Anna drops Dad, Mom, and Dika in the lobby. He was busy looking for parking. He thought, he wanted to pray dzuhur. After driving around for about 10 minutes, Anna parked her car not too far from the mosque.

Anna came down with a sling bag and mukena. He kept his shoes on the shelf, then entered the area where women wudhu. However, to his astonishment, after ablution he entered the Mosque. The mosque was quiet. What because it has not entered the dzuhur time? So lonely. Yasudahlah. Inner Anna.

Anna pulled out her phone and clicked on the Quran app. He read several verses of the Qur'an until entering the time of dzuhur. Anna, that voice is so beautiful. He had won the tilawah race and bernyayi sub-district level.

There was secretly a man who had been watching Anna with a simple smile. This woman is beautiful, thought the man. His voice while reading the Qur'an is so sweet.

When the dzuhur adhan, Anna prepared for prayer. Inner Anna, if there is a priest exclaiming, bjsa praying congregation. His heart was heard by God. It was the man who had been watching Anna ever since.

"Assalamualaikum" he asked Anna kindly.

"Waalaikumsalam" replied Anna, raising her head and smiling, showing her dimples. Which makes the man surprised at the beauty of Anna. His body shook, the heat, the inner man, begging him not to relapse at this time.

"Do you want to pray?" Ask the man.

"Can, please." Answer Anna politely.

Pray with men he did not know, had never met, only alone, in this great mosque. Weirdo? Ja. Bizarrely. Feels like husband and wife again. It feels like his status does not know... 😁

After the greeting, the two prayed in their hearts. The man said goodbye to Anna while Anna was folding her face.

"Come, I'll go first." Said the tall, big, burly man, and his sweet smile to Anna.

"Oh, yes. Thanks for that." Anna answered with a beautiful smile.

The man had not yet fully exited the mosque. He still wears socks and shoes on the men's shelf. He saw Anna wearing shoes and running into the building. He must have come to this wedding. Think of the man.

Arriving at the building, Anna approached Father and Mother, then, shook hands with the bride and ate. He ate with Om, Aunt, Bude, Pakde, his cousins. While Father, Mother, and Dika to the mosque for dzuhuran.

The name of the family gathering is certainly not far from the question of work, school, same soul mate. As it is now.

"Anna, where's work now?" Ask one of the slaves.

"Still in Bude's school. Farewell." Anna answered kindly.

"Oh, teacher. How much does a teacher pay? Not small, is it? How do you want to be a teacher?" Said another Budenya. Anna just smiles. It was not just one or two times that Anna was ridiculed for her profession as a teacher. Because in the history of the Paryogo family, there is no such thing as being a teacher or struggling in the field of education.

"God! Don't be careless when you talk. Anna is S2. Great S2 of his scholarship." Answer one of Pakde's pro with Anna.

"But it's a teacher's profession. In Parayogo village there is no such thing as a teacher. At least it becomes the manager of a company. Like my son's bontot. It's teacher. What can be proud of? Taking care of people's children but not being able to take care of yourself. The 27th is not married yet. Want to be your spinster, An? Don't embarrass Prayogo dong's family. I'm quite your profession as a teacher who makes you ashamed. Don't you become a spinster dong." Said one of the Bude who had the status of the general's wife. So proud of the Prayogo family.

And how's Anna? A liverache? Banget. But did Anna fight back? No. gabe. Anna just kept quiet and smiled. Because this is not once, twice he was laughed at for his profession and his single status.

However, it turned out that the man who had prayed had congregated with Anna, listening to all those debates. He felt very angry. Today there are still people who signify the same profession or work of others. Very conservative of them. Think of that man.

But he was very salute to the woman who became his aunt. Because he never fought. Just listen and smile. Very strong heart of the woman. Inner of the man.

Before long, Bagas' father and Anin's mother came to them. Actually Bagas' father and Anin's mother heard all the words of Anna's Budenya to her eldest son.

Because Bagas' father and Anin's mother happened to meet with his high school friend who had not met for almost 25 years. Let them have a great conversation near the table where his brother gathered.

Bagas' father was furious to hear Anna's Budenya speech. However, Bu Anin prevented him from responding. Because it will be a long matter if responded later. Bagas' father and Anin's mother approached his brother just to say hello and again chat with his High School friend.

At that time Anna resigned to Bude, Pakde, Om, and Tantenya to approach her Father and Mother who were busy chatting with her High School friends.

"Assalamualaikum" Sapa Anna was polite to Om and Aunt who were sitting with Father and Mother. Dika's? In the corner of the room again engrossed in food in the building. Haha...

"Waalaikumsalam" They answered simultaneously.

"Eehh... This, who is it? Ayune yo Pah, your son to Nin? Yo Gas? Jiaann... my chest gel, is it ayu? (It's pretty, Pa. Your son is Nin? Yes Gas? Whoa... Want to be my daughter-in-law, pretty boy?)." Greet a mother with her excitement at the sight of Anna. Ja. That's Mama Rani.

"Ho'oh's. Siji wedok's number. Loro sek mau duwor. (Yes. The number one/first lady. Number two/high weight)." Answer Ms. Anin.

"Well, whoa, Gas. Our agreement can be executed as it were." Said Mr. Adi. A wealthy businessman. Adicandra Basupati Soenggono's.

Who does not know Basupati Groups. The company is spread domestically and abroad. The mother was his wife. His name is Rani Gayatri Lestari.

I don't know what they're talking about. But Anna approached Bagas' father and Anin's mother for permission to go to the mosque because it was about to enter Ashar time.

The man, astonished. Why did Anna get to be with Mama Rani and Papa Adi? Does she know Mama and Papa? Her thought.

When the man wanted to approach Mama Rani and Papa Adi, he saw Anna leaving, he undo his intention to approach Mama and Papa but instead followed Anna.
