PS 32 - Suspicious Questions

I looked at Ghifari's house for a glimpse, then exhaled for a moment. I have to be ordinary, maybe Ghifari just accidentally kept the piece of the letter even though I know it seems unlikely there is such an accident.

"Come on!" Ghifari.

I'm nodding. Ghifari. So sweet. 

We went into the house and as usual we said our greetings and everyone in the house returned our greetings.

"Assalamualaikum." Greet us both.

"Waalaikumsalam wa rahatulli wa barakaatuh." replied someone who was in the house.

I can now see Budenya Ghifari and his mother Ghifari in the living room. I circulated my gaze in all directions but there was no one else but them there.

They stood. Ghifari and I approached them. After having a conversation with his mother and Budenya Ghifari I was also welcome to sit down. 

"I'm staying first?" Ghifari.

I could only nod when I was more comfortable with Ghifari. In front of these two middle-aged women made me feel a liar. I certainly did not forget my status which was the future wife of Ghifari's lie.

"How's Aunt and Bude doing?" I try to talk.

"We're good, son" said Ghifari's mother.

I smiled at the confusion of what else to say to his mother Ghifari and Budenya.

Ghifari's mother glanced at Bude. I felt like there was something they wanted to tell me. But I don't want to open the conversation again.

Bude Ghifari turned to the right and to the left as if to confirm something, I could only be confused in my heart. Well, in my eyes, Bude wanted to make sure that there was no one else around us but us.

"Is your mother still alive?" ask the Bude.

I was a little surprised by what Budenya Ghifari said. I really don't understand why Bude asked me something that I thought was disrespectful like that. 

At the family meeting that time, we didn't have much chat because we were busy preparing this and that.

"Sir, ." call Ghifari's mother as if to warn Bude could be more polite.

I smiled, hiding my confusion and being surprised.

"Still, Bude. Still alive and very healthy" I said.

I feel like I want to say it. I want to make it clear that my mother is in good health.

Bude was shocked and so was Ghifari's mother. Be that as it may. Not knowing that the mother of a person is still alive is normal.

"What's the matter, Bude?" my many.

"Ah, it's okay, son" said Ghifari's mother as if she wanted to end the conversation about my mother.

However, Bude is just the opposite. He asked me something else.

"Do you have a father?" ask Bude.

I smiled again. This question is really suspicious and like ah, I can't suuzon but hearing what Bude asked makes me want to continue suuzon.

"Bude is so funny. All the children in the world don't have fathers?" I asked while tekekeh trying to melt the situation.

Bude looked at me sharply.

"Your mother's name is Nindy?" ask Bude.

"Sir, it's impossible" said Ghifari's mother.

"Ssttt! Shut up." said Bude.

I gulped with great difficulty, I felt very confused but just couldn't bring out my current situation. I try to calm down and smile.

Seeing my smile made the look on Bude's face change. He looks surprised. What the hell is it?

Nindy. Why does Budenya Ghifari know that my mother is Nindy. Two things that make me dizzy now I get. First, Ghifari kept a letter from Om Aaron, and secondly his Budenya Ghifari asked my mother's name, just like Bang Haidar.

"No, Bude. My mother's name is not Nindy. What's the matter?" my many.

His mother Ghifari's face was sad. I don't understand and can't guess.

"Where's your house?" ask Bude.

I hope that Ghifari will come soon. This question scared me. I was like a prisoner being interrogated. I really can't handle it.

"Lho, Za?" call someone.

I spread my eyes towards the voice. Then the person I found was Bang Haidar, I smiled and reflexively stood up to kiss his hand.

"Yes, Bang." I said.

I was hoping that Bang Haidar would take me away from here.

"Where's ghifarya?" bang Haidar asked as he spread his gaze to the right and to the left.

"Again to his room, Bang." I said.

"Yaudah, come with me!" bang Haidar said.

"Eh, but.." I said as I glanced unkindly at Ms. Ghifari and Bude.

"Ah, go, it's okay" Bude said.

At once he was very friendly. Bang Haidar turned his head straight towards me. 

"But Ghifari, Bang?" many confused.

"Udah, later stay in the chat, easy" said Bang Haidar.

I also don't want to waste my chance. I feel that this is the right time to find out who Bang Haidar is looking for. I really can't stand it.

I'm just making sure, I want to make sure I'm wrong. I would love to meet my family but not his brother Ghifari's family either.

"Where are we going, Bang?" many confused.

"To the cafe ahead" he said.

I nodded and followed her beside him. I'm down. I'm really confused right now.

"They don't talk about macems with you, do they?" ask Bang Ghifari.

I looked up and saw Bang Haidar's face. I thought I wanted to ask Bang Haidar but at this moment I don't know who is on my side. 

Although Ghifari hid the letter but in my heart I felt that Ghifari was a good person. And on the other hand I feel that Bang Haidarpun is good to me too. Who among them is by my side.

"No, Bang." I said, flaunting my white teeth. Bang Haidar smiled, in stark contrast to Ghifari who chuckled a little.

Bang Haidar nodded.

We were still walking and soon we reached the cafe designated by Bang Haidar.

"Where has your brother met you?" my many.

Bang Haidar turned towards me. "Not yet, actually my brother does not know anyway, I actually have a sister or not" he said.

"Lho's? How is that, Bang?" I was confused.

If Bang Haidar is not sure if he has a sister why does he keep looking for his sister? Isn't that something in vain?

"Yes, the length of the story." said Bang Haidar.

"I'm ready to cry, Bang." I said, chuckling.

Bang Haidar chuckled along and he extended his hand to me, I reflexively wanted to dodge, but Bang Haidar directly ruffled my head.

I could only scratch my nape from inside the non-itchy veil.
