That Sunday we went to Sister Ernie's house at the address. The route to the location follows the map. It turns out that it is not difficult to find the highway access to the house of Sister Ernie who is on the border outside the city. The car continues to slide up the fork. It looks like a stall as a benchmark house for Ernie's sister. The warrants are fused with the shoulders of the streets. Papa parked his car there.
All suspect the shop owner may know the family.
We stopped by to unwind and talked about the nurse's family. A middle-aged man the stall owner kindly greeted. He offered me a snack. Mr. Margi, the owner of the stall chatted casually about Ms. Mien while pointing to the green painted house. We suspect Mien's mom is sister Ernie's parents. The allegations grew stronger when Mr. Margi said that the daughter of Ms. Mien was a nurse who worked at a large Hospital in the city center. From the narration of Mr. Margi we suspect the hospital, where om Iyan was treated and acquainted with sister Ernie.. We thought we had reached our destination.
Mr. Margi is familiar with the family, especially the mother because often to his stall. People around know him by calling Mien bu. Her husband was rarely seen because he worked until night. Miss Mien's son has six. Her nurse's daughter is Mien's second child. That day his house was empty because they and their family were away. The nurse's daughter has not been home for two weeks. Ms. Mien told me that she was busy facing the midwife school entrance test if she graduated to get a scholarship. .
We were speechless listening to Mr. Margi chattering about Ms. Mien's family. All silent stunned by Mr. Margi who spoke without breaking up continued nyerocos. Mr. Margi drugged to the point of possessing the mind. No one is suspicious about any errors or misdresses. “Is the familiar Mien mom the Mien mom of Ernie's sister family? Doubt has been eroded by Mr. Margi's babbling.
We are satisfied with Mr. Margi's story. It was as if he had known the girl's family up close. This added to Eyang's seriousness towards the nun. She really likes it turns out that the girl was raised in a simple family . " I didn't pick it wrong, he thought.
Pretty problem is enough om Iyan represents to assess his face. . The choice of falling on a nurse is right. Eyang thought a nurse had gone through the sheen of caring for the sick. If only taking care of the household must be skilled and light for him. That's all I expected of the girl.
While the love affair. Many people who have been in relationships for a long time and even counted years eventually break up for various reasons. Frequent incompatibility is the reason they split up. Although for no apparent reason but people also accept and as usual. For example, Iyan who has many beautiful female friends and is going to change. Suddenly dating soon Iyan decides to marry Ed. Now they look good.
It looks like sumringah. He's sreg. After the visit, it grew steadily. She thought that the nurse was the right person to be her daughter-in-law. Family's simple. On the way home, he muttered about the next step of the match.
I remembered that day and had a hopeful eye for the girl even though I had not met her in person.
"Buu ... matchmaking was discussed after meeting sisters Ernie and Dwi, said the mother.
"My intuition said it was a good sign to step into the next stage, propose to the girl" said eyang, smiling.
“Oh.... papa turned his head and looked at mama, maybe there is a sense of worry if he is disappointed, if later it is not as expected. One of the two men may have refused. Maybe something is stopping him too".
In the afternoon the streets were quiet and smooth. Estimated time in the afternoon will only reach home but it turns out about four o'clock almost to the house. We stopped by the resto. Everyone enjoyed their lunch in a relaxed manner. They are struggling with their own thoughts. Eyang looks relieved, he is still filled with proposal plans and holding a wedding. He kept muttering.
"Lamaran will eat a long time when waiting for the girl to finish school, said eyang while staring at papa and mama alternately"
A visit to a girl's house is not just once. After all, on Sunday it was done without knowing the person just wants to know his family. That day failed to meet his family directly. So complicated the stages of matchmaking. Although the rush of ghosts, but there are stages that must be fulfilled. I looked at Arlo who was dumbfounded again, I don't know what he was looking at. Surprised to hear the voices of papa and mama.
"Pamit ma'am", papa and mama are almost in unison and take turns salting and kissing hands to leave home.
"Done .. Alit and Arlo pamit yach" I said as I salam, kissed her hands and cheeks.
Arriving at home. Sound of guitar. I saw Aciel's bike parked in the yard. Aciel put down his guitar greeting papa and mama. "Om and aunty, he said while regretting it.
"Arlo, you guys chat. I'm going in yach".
"The brother who watered this plant".
"Ok, Alit's gonna take a shower and get changed". Arlo and Aciel play guitar.
"Neek. I took a shower and changed clothes. Mumpung kak Luni wants to help water the plant. Suddenly remembered the mixed ice that mom bought was still left in the car. I rushed out with my car keys to get it.
"Help me yach".
Arlo and Aciel stopped the guitar.
"It was me or him you told me to" Aciel joked.
I was silent, Arlo immediately moved as he took the key I was holding and helped me take the ice mixed in the tote bag.
" Thank you yach, I'm in first".
Arlo followed me inside and put the car keys on the truus table to the porch and continued to play guitar. I immediately put the mixed ice into some mugs and put it into the refrigerator. Two mugs for Arlo and Aciel.
"Waduh .. very fresh of course, chirped Aciel.
"Still.., said Aciel with a cry.
"Arlo. cobain this mixed ice, delicious bangeet let alone anyone serving" he added. Arlo turned towards her looking annoyed with the joke.
"Don't be so serious" he said again.
"Alit ... Is there ice for sister?
"Sister, mama bought a lot, I put the fridge". Luni turned to Aciel with a frown.
Arlo smiled towards Aciel who continued to whimper. Before long, Luni came out with a cold drink, a glass is indeed the ration.
I rushed to the mini garden wanting to know the development of orchid buds. Aciel stays grimacey.
"Alit... .. don't talk to plants, mending chat with us yes".
It's not a deterrent, even though it pisses me off. But I also understand his nosy nature. My irritation subsides. He. he…… . Plants also need to be loved.
