Still waiting for you

Still waiting for you
He is surprising me



🍁🍁🍁


"Am, !!" Novy broke the daydream created by my entanglement in the presence of a real figure whom I did not know at all. What does Nature mean by their presence with her.


I stepped up, forcing the sweetest smile I could. Greet them one by one. Except for Alam, I know he wouldn't have wanted it between us to have a pre-halal skinship.


Mother started to make a sound, greeting them formality. Mother must be much more surprised than I am, I think her best friend will join Nature, so she prepares mentally at her pace. The sound of silence was created, I took the initiative to take a wet cake in the kitchen to be served.


In novy's aid I served wet drinks and cakes on the table. Allow guests to enjoy a potluck snack.


"Please sir. ma'am.."


I softened my voice to sound polite to the guests, putting on a face as sweet as possible so that they would feel respected. Roll up all the curiosity that is entrenched in the heart.


"Hmm.. is this how many tablespoons of sugar nduk?"


"Eh. "he said softly and courteously. But the meaning could very well make me turn the memory a few minutes ago. How many spoon? Two teaspoons?, yes. I recall. Two teaspoons.


"Two teaspoons ma'am, I made it earlier. My son prepared another one, how's ma'am,.? Less sweet huh?"


No. It wasn't me who answered. Except for mom, mom took over my obvious mistake. My hands will reflexively pour two spoons of sugar because memorized outside the head. Every night I make it for both of us. Isn't that sweet taste to each taste?.


"Ehm. sweet kok bu. semanis who make. Can I spend it now?. Itung itung gerogi reliever medicine" sweet greeting Nature makes the atmosphere warm. Everyone laughed crisply, except for me and my mother who had a chance to question the amount of sugar.


Novy smiled a sinless smile with her hands that didn't stop elbowing me.


Instead of laughing. One of the originally adorable twins is spitting on Nature's arm without knowing my heart is numb.


"Papa wants cake... " The male twins were whining as they blinked their eyes repeatedly over Nature's lap.


"Oh. okay.. Which one would you love?"


Nature doesn't awkwardly spoil him in front of me. I glanced at the mother who was no less confused to face this situation.


"I picked up the phone first. It's important"


The young woman I don't know who. Pamit without bother waiting for answers, even to just look at our expressions. I am tired of dealing with this awkward situation trying to open my voice.


"Mas Alam can we talk to you for a minute?"


"Okay, Mom, sir, I nipped Anas Anis first huh.?"


"No way anyway, you are not a mahrom, the sin of talking together is that. Talk in here! We've come here to talk about something, right?"


"Sorry Mom, if you mind. I'll talk to my friend Novy."


"Okay, it's okay ma'am. Ami is a very self-serving girl, we are safe God willing."


"Just wait for Alim. These twins must be fussy if there's not one of you."


I stood up, my chest rumbled violently. My mouth is tightly clenched. It was so painful to see this reality. Want to be as calm as water, but what is the power of reality to hit the poranda.


Papa.? The twins call Mother Nature?. And who is the young lady with him?.


Both palms I use to cover my face that is no longer pleasant to look at. My frenzy wiped away the sweet smile I had prepared for the few hours before she came.


"Drink first, baby"


Nature offered him a glass of water that he took from the teapot next to the television. My eyes did not stop glancing at him sharply confirming that I needed an explanation.


"Your jealousy is hazy. Can you get out of it later on eyeballs."


OH!!!!!


He can be that relaxed?


Can you still tease me?


After with his mother carrying his wife, children, and father-in-law as possible.


Isn't this outrageous!


I let out a breath. I don't feel the need to say a word. Because I'm sure that what comes out of my mouth will no longer be as sweet as sugar, it could be as bitter as a khuldi fruit.


Wow, but where do I know that khuldi fruit tastes bitter?.


"OKAY. You get me so scared. Malem malem gini again. You have a habit of hallucinating the level of a god goddess. Once there is a hallucination agenda, you are like thousands of fairies, no one can take you away, even if it is only from there here and there....


"The fire is Nature... You can't take it seriously. It's a matter of nature. You create thousands of questions, even then there are not countless branches. You shadow,! How many thousands of questions should you answer in the shortest time, to... Agrghrghhh..why is the fear of slurring anyway..." I stomped my well-bent leg in front of the table.


"You're so funny, sorry. Gini is very jealous. Ami, I'm Alam, your future husband, that young woman, Alim, we're twin dear. The twins Anas and Anis are my niece, Alim's son. They are my real parents. "


Nature explains at length with accompanying laughter. He ended his sentence sambik continued to rub the stomach because of the tickle that never stopped.


"What did you realize just now?."


Nature immediately stopped the laughter and tidied up her sitting position.


"Sorry baby, I should have given you a grid before coming here. But I actually forgot am, I just picked them up this afternoon to jogja, kept coming straight here. Then I also want to ngetes you anyway, it turns out, really, now I'm sure 100% of my application will be accepted."


Nature is back in a relaxed mode. Repeatedly raised his eyebrows and looked at me spoiled.


"You ah.!" I stood up to leave him. I don't care about her increasingly echoing laughter.

After the brief explanation of Nature in the middle room earlier, I returned with a well-ordered mood.


I aside some of the questions that arise because of the lure of Nature's surprise.


The show went smoothly, starting from a middle-aged man called Nature as his Abinya. Asking me to be a companion at the age of her son, with the most beautiful words ever caught my ear. Until the ring exchange session conducted by middle-aged women, who was none other than Umi, the birth mother of Nature.


In the novelty of the atmosphere created, Umi whispered a sentence that overturned my day between pinning the ring right on my ring finger.


"I'm sorry, if it wasn't for Nature prostrating at Umi's feet, Umi wouldn't have backed off on her match with our chosen girl."
