Nilam's face was still unsightly, even until Bas was alone, about to return to his hometown. Usually Nilam will continue to warn his lover to be careful, not speeding, or other advice that makes Bas sometimes feel funny, feel like a child. But now, the girl just smiled faintly, and said the word "carefully" quietly. It was obvious that the girl had a lot of thoughts.
On the road Baskara continued to think about the change in Nilam's attitude. The contents of his head kept turning around, asking what exactly happened? Why could her gentle and patient girl change as she is now. He has to find out, before things get worse.
It was dark when the bus arrived home. Of course, the travel time from the city where Nilam worked towards his home, took almost two and a half hours of travel. While he was still here and there before, when the sun was leaning west.
"Home home, Mom?" ask Utari. Even though without asking, he had clearly seen the elder brother in front of him at this time.
"Yes, just now" said Bas, opening his shoes in the living room.
"That's what, Mas?" utari asked again, when she saw a large shopping bag sitting next to her sister.
"Material kebaya. Tomorrow it is dismantled, this is malem. Is she asleep?"
Utari who intends to see the contents of the bag, urung put his feet. He just nodded in response to her question, then returned to his room without offering to eat or drink first to his sister.
While in the post, Nilam was lectured by Amanda, who was upset at the attitude of her best friend. Amanda from the beginning had warned Nilam to speak honestly to her future husband, about whatever obstacles he faced, including the problem of Utari. But the girl always covered it up, ignoring Amanda's advice. And now, Nilam was cold to Bas who knew nothing.
"From the beginning I said, don't cover anything from Mas Bas. Don't be afraid to talk about it all, let's make you feel good. You don't believe it! Now that's the way it is, you're ranting to yourself. Snooze is not clear, make people confused! Thank goodness he was patient with you, you know! Try if other guys you're giniin, sure I you guys will fight every day!" said Amanda upset, after hearing Nilam's story.
"I was wrong, Nda. You understand that anyway? If I don't follow Utari's words, then he will do the same to me. I don't want him to have any problems with me, Nda. I knew soon I would be in that family. What happens if I have an enemy before? This is just a uniform thing, not to mention another one that will certainly be a lot of difference between me and him. I'm afraid he's taking me for granted himself. Instead of it for the uniform I give up, follow her wishes, let me later feel good to refuse the idea of her the other. But mas Bas even ledekin choice of color that. He said he wanted to rakernas a political party. Who hasn't tried? It's her brother's choice, but I'm the one who's being mocked!" Patchouli with a face held back tears, giving up his feelings.
"Later I'll be called a crook, again."
Amanda breathed heavily. Look at Nilam with puffiness.
"Couldn't I say you're better? Overrated? Too cowardly? Drama is coming," said Amanda spicy.
"Now I ask you. Who wants that wedding? You right?" Nilam.
"Who is that cost? You two, right?" Nilam nodded back.
"All the decisions, they should be on your agreement, Lam. Don't let anyone go too far. Love the idea may be, but still the erratic you are the same Mas Bas. If you are concerned now, it is not impossible that Utari will continue to interfere for other things. Want you, your household life is in the shadow of sister-in-law?" Nilam.
"Well, the decision must be firm. Don't be afraid of being hated by one or two people. Because those who do not like you, will still not like, however you behave well and succumb to them. Learn to make your own decisions, Lam. Do not always rely on bad taste, but ultimately you lose yourself, even couples who do not know anything are affected. Yes, if he's in a good mood, he can beat you, but if not? Will you fight later?" Cecar Amanda again, making Nilam silent can not answer.
Sometimes we force ourselves too much to follow the will of others, hoping that people will be willing to accept us in a new environment. But we forget, people do not need a reason to hate and dislike us. Whatever we do will always be wrong and lacking in their eyes, so turning into someone else to fulfill their wishes is futile.
Maybe that's what Nilam is experiencing right now. Trying to give in, because he realized, he was just a new person who wanted to enter the Baskara family. But for a long time, Nilam felt Utari too interfered and disturbed his calm, making him annoyed and upset. Want to argue, but can't, because the bad taste was.
