The Goddess' hand grabbed the doorknob and then opened it. His eyes widened looking at the two people standing in front of him. His eyes stared alternately at the two people in front of him. His mouth was only able to go silent without being able to say anything.
“Why just bengong? Guests come, yes told to enter,” said Tita.
The goddess immediately regained consciousness and let the wife of her uncle enter with a man she did not know who. The girl went to the kitchen to make a drink. Two cups of sweet tea were available in front of Tita and the man sitting next to her. In a gentle manner of speech the woman allowed the man who came with her to drink.
“Please drink.”
The man just nodded his head. His hand grabbed the teacup then sipped it slowly. His eyes did not stop looking at the Goddess. Just one word in her mind at the moment, beautiful. He put the glass into place and waited for Tita to introduce herself to the Goddess.
“Dewi.. introduce this den Soka. He's his son Pak Wahyu, landlords in the village.”
The feeling of the Goddess was immediately uneasy to hear who the man who was with Tita was. But for the sake of manners, Dewi greeted the man in his thirties. Actually, Soka's face can not be said to be ugly, she is quite sweet with brownish skin and her hair is thin. Plus a thin sideburn on his jaw, making the man look gallant.
“So you are the Goddess. How old are you?”
“19.”
“Wow is young. Different 12 years with me.”
“If women are quick to chase it, den,” Tita continued.
“Aibi to here by yourself?” tanya Dewi tried to divert the question that she already knew the conversation was leading to where.
“Yes, your mamang is still harvesting so can't come. Coincidentally den Soka was returning home. So aunt nebeng pas den Soka wants to come back here. Kan now den Soka lives in Bandung. Which area, Den? Forgot again.”
“Kopo.”
“Well Yes, Kopo.”
The goddess just smiled. Very clever Tita is making small talk. Though there are shrimp behind the bala bu Yayuk, friedmen near the red light that so many visitors visit in the afternoon. Dewi kept trying to calm down and follow the groove presented by Tita.
“You're still in college?” ask Soka.
“Iya.”
“How many semester? What majors?”
“Semester three, communication department.”
“Oh lecture at communication faculty.”
“Fisip, um. Communication on my campus is still a major not yet a faculty,” error Dewi.
Tita's eyes widened to hear the call of the Goddess to Soka. The girl lightly called out to the man. Soka was actually surprised as well, but she tried to cover it up well.
“Eh Dewi. time call om, call aa or akang,” said Tita.
“Ngga trousers, bi. The age is different 12 years, it fits called om,” ceplos Dewi.
I want Tita to take a stab at the head of her nephew. He floated a clumsy smile at the man sitting next to him. Soka's face hardened a little to see the Goddess who insisted on calling him om.
“Fisip the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences yes, Wi?” ask Tita pleasantries to reduce awkwardness.
“Not, bi. Fisip the Faculty of Santet Science and Pellet Science,” replied the Goddess accordingly.
“Hahahaha..”
Soka who was initially upset called Dewi by the name of om, laughed loudly to hear the joke of the girl. Tita also laughed even though in her heart the goiter half-life on this nephew.
“Hahaha. What do you keep learning at that faculty?”
“Macem-romance, bi. There are long distance dining, close quarters dining, latent dining and online dining. Which auntie wants to fuss? Santet online want bi?”
“Hahahaha..”
Soka's laughter grew louder as Tita grew more and more to her nephew. The woman's eyes glared at the Goddess, but were not touched at all by the girl. Dewi looks very happy to see the face of her aunt who is like a hyacinth.
“Sorry, um. Not ngusir, but soon maghrib. It is not good to visit maghrib-maghrib to the house of a virgin who does not have a father. Moreover, the two datengnya same bi Tita. Later if the neighbors think I am willing to bawdy place for om same bi Tita how?”
“Goddess!!” tita Hardik.
“Ngga. I go home first then.”
Soka lifted her buttocks and then walked out of the house. Tita continued to follow Soka from behind. He wanted to apologize for the Goddess's attitude. While the Goddess directly put the two cups into the kitchen and then entered the room. He's tired of dealing with Tita.
“Aduh den Soka, sorry. Forgive my nephew. He still seems to be mourning the passing of his mother. Once again sorry,” Tita cupped her hands together in front of Soka.
“This time I forgive. But remember, mom had to keep the promise of mom marrying me to Dewi.”
“Iya, the. Yes.”
Soka walked towards the contract gate of Haji Soleh then got into his car. The man drove his vehicle out of there. The first meeting with the Goddess is fun and annoying. Just look, he will teach the girl a lesson if she is already his wife.
After Soka died, Tita immediately sought the existence of the Goddess. He entered the girl's room without knocking on the door first. While shaking her waist, the woman stood in front of the Goddess.
“Goddess!! What the hell was that? Not polite!”
The goddess raised her head, looking at Tita. The girl then stood up to her position directly opposite the wife of the Nandang. His eyes also stared intently at the middle-aged woman. This time he would not stay silent to see Tita who wanted to oppress him.
“That's not polite it's aunt. Come here without notice, bring a man who is not mahram aunty.”
“She's your future husband.”
“Where are you going to husband? When do I agree to marriage? All this time a busy aunt wanted to marry me. Did aunt ever ask me? Naw, right? I'm not a stuffed aunt that you can just set-up. I have a man of my own choice. If aunty's worried I'm bothering aunts and mamangs, don't worry. I was still able to support myself even finance my college.”
Tita's mouth was silenced to hear the Goddess's long answer. He had absolutely no idea the Goddess would dare to argue with him like this. Even Nita, her eldest child did not dare to do so, nor did Nandang, her husband. But the Goddess said it all to him.
“Basic don't know manners,” pissed Tita. It was the only word that could be spoken from his lips.
“It's precisely because I know manners, I'm still being nice to aunt. If I drive aunty out of here, what can aunt do? I still cherish aunt as the wife of Mang Nandang. Please aunt also cherish my privacy and stop taking care of my life.”
With annoyance Tita came out from the room of the Goddess. Looks like she should call her husband. However, Nandang must be able to force Dewi to marry Soka. I can be ashamed of him if their marriage is broken. Because the woman had desperately persuaded the prophet of Revelation to make the Goddess his son-in-law.
🌸🌸🌸
In the third night the Goddess awoke. The girl got out of her bed and went to the bathroom. The atmosphere of the house is very quiet and dark. He turned on a new kitchen light then went into the bathroom to urinate and ablaze. Before long he came out with a face wet with ablution water.
The goddess held a prayer rug and then used her mukenya. For a moment he stood quietly on his tongue to concentrate. Then his voice sounded calling the majesty of Allah SWT. The girl performed eight tahajud prayers and ended with three rakaat prayers. After saying his greetings to end his prayer, he raised his hands.
“Yes Allah forgive my sins and the sins of my parents. Accept the faith of the father and mother, accept all his good deeds, forgive his sins and give them the best place. Lay down their graves and put them in Your heaven, O God.”
The goddess paused her prayer. His hand rubbed the clear circles that soaked his cheeks. The girl always cries if she prays for her parents. He took a deep breath and continued his prayer.
“Yes Allah, I know that You will not give me trials beyond my means. Please help me, get me out of this complicated situation. Mang Nandang and bi Tita. Sort of their intention to marry me to that om-om. O Allah, if it is my destiny to marry young, I am sincere, O Allah. But not the same as me too. O Allah, if it is true that Adit is my soul mate, then convince my heart to accept his proposal. But if not, give a good mate, his handsome and his responsibilities the same as Adit, aamiin.”
The goddess rubbed her face ending her slightly mischievous prayer. He said praying should be specific. If indeed Aditya is not his match, if he is betrothed to someone who looks like the man. The girl opened her face, folded it along with her alphabet. Then sit pensively on the edge of the mattress.
Our age may be young, but I believe with our maturity, we can build a good household. Instead of committing sins, we should just cancel this relationship. Dating after marriage is more fun.
The goddess recalled Aditya's words yesterday. Unknowingly his lips revealed a smile. Then he fantasized if married to Aditya, automatically he will bear the status as Aditya's mistress. Every time her husband left for work, she would walk to the door and kiss the back of her hand. If it's a holiday, they can go for a walk while holding hands. Watching movies and not uncomfortable when looking at adult scenes. Maybe even follow the practice of lip friendship in the cinema.
Both of the Goddess's hands covered her face which suddenly her mind became perverted. He shook his head, trying to chase away the mischievous shadow that flashed across his head earlier. The girl got up and walked into the kitchen. It feels like he wants to make something for Aditya. The man must have gone home to the contract after his night shift ended.
Suddenly Dewi wanted to make rice like her mother used to. Let him only cook instant noodles or eggplok and omelet. But for trade, the mother has taught well. He knows what spices are commonly used to make both rice. Even make a lotto as good as his mother can. He used to make a lotto order for Farah bu and the results are not much different.
After putting rice into the boiler, he prepared a friend to eat rice sitting. The goddess took two eggs and shuffled them. He'll make thinly sliced omelet. Then for other supplements will be purchased at the stall. While waiting for the rice to sit ripe, Dewi headed to the bathroom for ablution. The echoes of adzan shubuh have been heard.
🌸🌸🌸
Aditya was surprised when he returned to the contract, at his house there was already a rice sit complete with fried chicken, sliced omelet and cucumber as his default. He looked at the Goddess who was also there along with Roxas. Not only himself, but Roxas was also quite surprised to see the work of his friend. He held the Goddess' forehead to check her temperature.
“Aaan anyway,” Goddess brushed off Roxas's hand.
“Lo no more jams right?” ask Roxas.
“Ngga, dudul. I make this in a healthy state wal afiat and conscious one hundred percent. Let's trybin.”
“Aman no? Tar was rich at that time. Try..”
Irritatedly, Dewi spooned the rice and put it in Roxas' mouth so that the man could not continue his speech. He was silent for a moment when the rice was in his mouth. Slowly began to eat the food. Then Roxas snatched the plate in the Goddess' hand.
“Enak Dit, swear.”
Aditya who was curious about what Roxas said, immediately grabbed another plate. When a mouthful of rice entered his mouth, the man immediately looked at the Goddess then raised next to his thumb.
“Enak, De. exactly rich cuisine mother.”
The Goddess' smile expands upon hearing that praise. He plans to bring rice to Adrian later. He stared at the two men in front of him who were enjoying the cuisine of his work with greed.
“Wi.. in your home there is bi Tita, yes?” roxas asked in between his meals.
“Iya.”
“You what? Don't tell me you want to matein elo again.”
“Ember. Yesterday even he was ushered a guy who wanted to be betrothed to me.”
“Seriously? Intention is very tuh aunty-aibi,” annoyed Aditya.
“What's the guy?”
“Lumayan is his face not ugly. Compared to Budi is still hanging with him everywhere.”
“Yes have lo bandingin ama tuh curut. Where am I?”
“Yes with Adit,” Goddess smiles sweetly at Aditya.
“Sorry bro.”
Aditya patted Roxas' shoulder gently while laughing. Roxas just turned his lips to hear the friend even defended Aditya. Indeed, if you are in love, t*i kotok will feel like chocolate.
“Still young?”
“Udah om-on. He said he was 12 years older than me. Means 31 years yes.”
“You sure you got your first bini? How I suspect that lanang already married,” exclaimed Roxas.
“Can be. That's why I refused.”
“Keep the Biti said what?”
“What's the role?” ask Aditya.
“Bi Tita, hahaha.”
“Yes that's it. Ngeles mulu she's rich bajaj. Yesterday I checked ster. Want to know he still dares not talk about marriage with me.”
“Go Mantili go.. hajaarrr don't love kol*r eh saggy hahahaha..”.
Aditya menoyor the head of his best friend who still leaked his chat despite already bearing the status as a six-star hotel brand ambassador. Then the man looked at the Goddess. She was quite happy, the Goddess had already returned to her former personality. Goddess who is cheerful, independent and not easily oppressed.
“What is the reason for the Briti cepet-cepet nikahin elo?”
“Yes he was afraid only once if I would take care of mang Nandang. I still have money for my daily life. Make tuition fees also I still save from the salary given bang Rian. I know what they are trying? After the mother's funeral, they also did not spend money because all had been borne by Haji Soleh. Hence my wonder.”
“I'm sure, he must have splashed the windfall if you marry the same om.”
“Quiet aja. If I marry the Goddess, then I cipratin too,” exclaimed Aditya.
“Cipratin what?”
“Air got, hahaha.”
“Sue, hahaha.”
Aditya's contract is full of her third laugh. Tita who was sitting on the terrace heard their laughter. He was curious as well, what the trio of kwak-kwak were talking about. Want to go there but embarrassed, will definitely be considered kepo. The woman finally held on to where she sat.
“Dit.. anterin I came home,” pinta Dewi.
“Buset home five steps doang ask usherin,” exclaimed Roxas.
“Syrics ae lo.”
Aditya stood up and prepared to drive the Goddess home. There must be a reason why the girl wanted him to drive her. Once out, Aditya's eyes immediately caught the figure they were talking about sitting on the terrace. It seems that's why the Goddess asked to take her.
“Bi.. know this Aditya. My aunt knows you too, right?” said the Goddess as soon as it arrived in front of Tita.
“Iya,” reply Tita cuek. He looked at Aditya's face. It was handsome but kere, that was what he had in mind.
“He's my candidate, bi.”
Aditya's face immediately turned to the Goddess upon hearing the girl's reply. His heart cheered hearing the Goddess call him a candidate. Is it possible that soon the Goddess will accept her proposal. Or it's just the Goddess's excuse for Tita to foil her matchmaking plan. I don't know, the important thing is Aditya is quite happy.
“Ooh..” that's all that comes out of Tita's mouth.
“So aunty do not need to mate-jodohin me the same om yesterday ya.”
Tita got up from her seat and then went inside. His heart was completely dumb to hear it. He should immediately ask Nandang to come here. After all, Dewi must marry Soka.
“Dit.. You sleepy ngga?”
“Why?”
“Anterin me to campus.”
“What time?”
“I have a coolie at 9. 8 Hours from departure.”
“You're ready aja.”
“Still yes.”
Only try at the top of the head only Aditya gave in response. After that, he immediately returned to his home. He needs to take a bath so that his body is fresher to bring the idol to campus.
