Suddenly Mama

Last Proposal

“Job Mas Kaivan!” exclaiming Gendis while covering his mouth with both palms, he almost shouted in the middle of the night.

Gendis who was sleeping with Shila, suddenly woke up in the middle of the night because of thirst. While walking in the kitchen he was surprised by the figure of a man who was in the middle of the family, and looked at the window. Because of the minimal lighting, Gendis only realized that the figure of the man was Kaivan.

Kaivan who heard Gendis's exclamation seemed to turn towards him smiled faintly for a moment and returned his gaze towards the window staring at the moon which was in the form of a full circle.

Gendis then resumed her steps toward the kitchen and quickly took two glasses and filled them with warm chocolate.

“You are a real horror, Mas, the middle of the mallem sitting alone while dreamt of the window again!” said Gendis while offering a glass to Kaivan. Warm chocolate, a drink that Kaivan is hard to resist.

“Who daydreams.. I see the full moon again.” said Kaivan while sipping his drink.

Gendis who heard Kaivan's words also stared at the moon shown by Kaivan. “Since when did you like to see the moon Mas? Not if the full moon movies are signs there are vampires or werewolves, huh?”

Kaivan clings to Gendis's head. “Not romantic basis.. pantesan just haven't got a girlfriend!”

Gendis only grimaces small. For a moment the two were like a flash back of their little omnipotence, who were ignorant and mocking each other.

“So how are you preparing for Singapore? Have you done everything?” asked Kaivan suddenly.

Gendis nodded slowly. Then took his eyes off Kaivan and chose to bow.

As if knowing what Gendis was thinking, Kaivan casually ruffled Gendis's head crest slowly. “Quietly.. later Shila also knows the reason you went kok!”

“I also heavy ninggalin Shila” said Gendis slowly.

Kaivan was surprised to hear Gendis' words, slowly stared at the woman in front of him, his eyes began to glaze over. Kaivan secretly ignores Gendis' close relationship with Shila, how a 21-year-old girl with a 6-year-old child has the closeness of a mother and child, the two have only met for the past 2-3 months.

In his heart Kaivan also recalled his mother's remark, that Gendis is indeed not an ordinary girl, she looks mature and motherly beyond her age. Kaivan now admits it. Suddenly an idea flashed through Kaivan's mind.

“If you are heavy leaving Shila, then you do not have to go.” Kaivan's voice suddenly broke the silence of the two.

Gendis just fell silent and stared fixedly at Kaivan.

“As Gendis said, you can work with Me.. if you want..” said Kaivan slowly, his tone as if he was not confident.

“What does Mas mean?” ask Gendis confused.

Kaivan seemed silent for a moment before finally speaking. “Call me selfish, call me heartless and inconsiderate. but I want to invite you to marry me.”.

Gendis seemed to be frowning in confusion. In any case, he again heard Kaivan's invitation to marry for the second time.

“I can't tell you I'm asking you to get married for love. Honestly, right now I don't have the love I can offer you. I invite you to marry for Shila” Kaivan said with a pushy look, there was a concussion there.

“I know Shila really likes you, and you love Shila too. My family is incomplete, and will never be complete without Mom's presence for Shila. And I want you to be Shila's mother for now.” Kaivan again.

Gendis still seems silent. He went back inside.

“I know you are very young Gendis, many dreams and even the real love you want to feel and achieve. But I beg you... just for a moment just help me to be Shila's mother, until she gets a little bigger.”

“Shortly? What does Mas mean?” tanya Gendis had trouble digesting Kaivan's explanation.

“It would be very evil for me to hold you back from being Shila's mother for a lifetime. I want you to stay in marriage only for Lima. ah no. I think Three years is enough.” Kaivan again. “Married me for Three Years to be Shila's Mother, we will only be husband and wife in status, no other relationship. After three years I promised you freedom. I'll divorce you”

The head of the Gendis felt a little throbbing. He got a marriage and divorce from Kaivan overnight.

“You want to marry me Mas?” gendis asked quietly which was answered with a quick nod of the head from Kaivan.

“If Mom and Dad are indeed happier where do I live? In Singapore or in Semarang?” asked Gendis while folding her clothes which she would later arrange to enter the suitcase,

“Yo.. if you say you want to stay in Semarang after all yes.. with Mom, Dad, Shila and Mas Kaivan” replied his mother who was also helping to fold Gendis clothes.

Gendis seems to stop his activities. “Kok Mas Kaivan called?”

Mother seemed to clench her lips tightly while glancing at Father Gendis, hoping that her Husband could help answer.

Mr. Taufik, who was quick to respond to the signal from his wife, rushed to leave his activities, wiping the suitcase owned by Gendis, and walked up to his daughter.

“Father has heard from Mr. Indra and Bu Anggi, even from Mba Kaila, they ask you to be Mas Kaivan's Wife.” said Gendis' father slowly. He stared fixedly at his only daughter, noticing the change in her facial expression.

Far from what his father and mother expected, Shila's attitude seemed very calm. “Then according to Mom and Dad how?”

Mother seems to be inching closer to Gendis. “Mother would be happy if you agreed, not because of the wealthy Wasesa family, but because they are a good family and you know it Nduk.”

“Bapak is also happy, if your dear father gets a good husband and family. However, your choice is the most important. Mom and Dad will always support your decision.” The father slowly hugged Gendis and rubbed her gently.

“Kaila don't have to mind that, I know you're behind me.” Gendis said as she held back her laughter. Sure enough, Kaila then emerged from behind him, grumbling with annoyance because his plan shocked Gendis to fail miserably.

“Your habits that like ngaggetin are not fickle.. yo clearly I know toh..,” said Gendis while smiling amusedly at the face of Kaila's snack.

“It dong laughs don't bend your face straight Lo deh. dear cute so tangled.. anyways think who deh Lo sampe stiff so? Are you the same as Mas Kaivan?” kaila said at length. Feeling the shock of Kaila's speech, she quickly covered her mouth with both palms.

Gendis scrunched her forehead. “Indeed Mas Kaivan what same story you?”

Kaila smiled awkwardly. “Eeum.. story kalo. he already ngajakin Lo married.. but directly rejected also the same Lo..”

“that's it?” gendis asked again which was answered with a quick nod of the head from Kaila.

Gendis secretly thanks Kaila for not hearing Kaivan's latest proposal story, more precisely a contract marriage proposal.

“Kalo how do you think?” ask Gendis suddenly.

“Eum... means Lo same Mas Kaivan married it?” ask Kaila back, make sure Gendis questions.

Gendis nodded her head slowly. “Iya.. You think, I'm with your brother how?”

Kaila was smiling. “Gue will fit really well! You know that Mas Kaivan was his feet already like a dry canoebo that like it must be cooled by a calm girl macem lake water kayak Lo gini so that his life so follow quiet and more cool like that.”.

Gendis only laughed faintly at Kaila's words which viciously compared her brother to a dry kanebo.

Suddenly Kaila grabbed both hands of Gendis and stared fixedly at her eyes. “But seriously Deh Gendis.. I know it will not be easy to marry Mas Kaivan at the age of as young as we are, especially Lo will immediately become a mother for Shila. But believe me, behind the nature of Mas Kaivan's sweetness, actually he is a good and romantic person really. so I will guarantee your married life will definitely be fun.”.

Hearing the word romantic, made Gendis again giggle amused. What does it mean that the romantic nature of Mas Kaivan is looking at the full moon in the middle of the night blind.

Now it feels like everyone is asking Gendis to accept a marriage offer from Kaivan.
