Sulastri's Struggle.
Chapter 50
The ferrari taxi drove pastri and Arman reached the edge of the alley. Arman pays for the taxi as per who is in argo.
"Thank you, but I don't have any change" the taxi driver took a look at the 50-thousand bills.
"Take it Bang," he said as he passed to Lastri who was opening the trunk to grab a backpack.
"Alhamdulillah..." Lastri smiled looking at the tiny bamboo room house. But now it is more preserved. This house belonged to his parents, now in the residence of Eko and his wife.
"Assynoltom..." Tri knocked on the door. While Arman scanned the surroundings. Her gaze was fixed under the mango tree when seven years ago proposed to Lastri at that place. But eventually, her marriage failed.
"O Allah, this time, do not separate us" he prayed in his heart.
Checklots
The door was opened, by the woman who was the same age as Mbak Dwi smiling kindly.
"Lastri.." the woman was flabbergasted.
"Pure Mother," Lastri smiled at Pure. Pure is Eko's wife.
"How's the Deck doing? Purely shook his sister-in-law's hand.
"My news is good, Mommy, surely Mbak Mur, has not known my future husband, right? Meet my future husband" Tri said.
"Pure" Pure, cupped his hands in front of his chest.
"Arman," replied Arman politely.
"Let's go to the Deck," Pure enters first, followed by Lastri and Arman.
Arman also circulated his view, seven years ago he last entered this house, while looking for Lastri.
Arman did not know that at that time, Lastri went to Jakarta and received a scholarship recommended by the Adnan family. Because Tri became the general champion at SMK AL INAYAH at that time.
"Sit Brother Arman, Dek Tri," Purely surprised the reverie of Arman.
"Thank you" Arman sat on a chair made of woven bamboo. That chair was Mr. Suryo who made.
"No need to bother Ma'am, because I'm just for a moment" said Lastri when Murni went to the kitchen to make a drink. Lastri then caught up with him after putting the rangs on the chair.
"I want to make a warm tea Kok Dek, wait a while," said Murni while pouring hot water into the pot of tea brewing device.
"I'm just a minute Ma'am" Tri repeated.
"Where is Dek Tri going? How rushed?" tanya Murni with sound medok kas javanese.
"Mak Mur, I'm here to ask for the blessing of the future in-laws, because we will soon marry Ma'am" said Tri. They were talking while standing at the kitchen table.
"Alhamdulilah. hopefully smoothly yes Dek," Purely sparkling.
"Aamiin.." answered Tri.
"Sir, did Madam Mur not work today? Didn't Ma'am, same Mas Eko, both keep his shop bu Susi?" ask Tri then.
"Yes Dek, alhamdulillah.. after Mas Eko out of work from the plantation of your future father-in-law, Mas Eko's sustenance improved, because he was immediately offered a job by BU Susi. Uh, Thank God again, I was also directly offered Tri work," said Pure painted happiness on his face.
Hownot? After Eko left Burhan sir's estate, only six months of work directly married Murni.
If Eko starts work at eight in the morning, Murni is given a time delay. Enter at 10 am until Murni can do homework.
After drinking the tea out of respect for Pure, who had already bothered to make it. Tri went to Arman's house.
"I will stay here tonight kok Mbak, greetings to Mas Eko, later tonight we chat again," concluded Lastri.
*******
By riding an ojek, they headed to the house of Arman who lived not far from the district in the region.
Until the derung of the motor arrived at the residence of the prospective in-laws of Lastri.
"Oh, you guys just arrived? Stop by Suryo's house first huh?" ask Mr. Burhan welcome the arrival of Arman and also Lastri.
"Yes sir, I did invite Mas Arman to stop by first" Tri replied. Tri then put the bakpia and wingko tripe. Food in their area.
"Well, the future daughter-in-law is here!" exclaim the new Sulis ma'am out from the inside.
"Thank you, ma'am" Lastri kissed the back of Sulis's hand.
Arman is shocked to hear his mother call Lastri a future daughter-in-law, not a poor girl as usual. Makes Arman's heart happy. Tub doused with rain water when the sun is hot. Arman then hugged his mother's body, although it was unrequited.
But in contrast to Tri, unfriendly murat is clearly drawn on the face of Sulis ma'am. Make Tri wary.
"Sit down first, son" said Mr. Burhan.
"Mom, I mean to come here, in addition to miss Mother, also want to ask for blessing, in the near future we will get married," Arman opened the conversation
"You're not really asking for Ar's blessing, you're just telling me, because your dad's been conspiring to fight Mom!" ketus bu Sulis's.
"The decision is unanimous Ar, if your mother does not agree too, you are a man, the important thing is there is a guardian, yes already, get married, quickly, do not ask for the blessing of a person whose heart is as hard as a rock. Indeed you want to be a bachelor," Mr. Burhan replied straightforwardly.
Mrs Sulis did not answer again, I don't know what she was thinking.
They also talked, Sulis ma'am spoke looks normal not ketus and not cynical like before.
"Tri we go to the garden of salak yuk," asked Arman.
"Don't Ar, if you two keep going, when can I get to know Lastri," Sulis said at the end.
"Alright" without feeling suspicious Arman left Lastri to the garden of salak pondoh that had begun to harvest, and followed by Mr. Burhan.
"Tri's coming with me" said Sulis.
"Okay, ma'am" Tri followed Sulis's mother to the kitchen. In the kitchen, there was a man who was washing dishes.
"Non Lastri's... Den Arman often told me about you," sambar mbok, staring at Tri amazed. Arman turned out to be smart to find a wife. Inner mbok.
"Oh that's it Mbok" said Tri.
Ms. Sulis jerked her head to the left giving the symbol code to get out of the kitchen. Not much of a symbology talk according to.
"Tri, are you ready to be my manantu?" ask Mrs Sulis to the point.
"IsyaAllah, ready ma'am," said Tri hearing that Sulis had mentioned her name twice, it was nice. Because usually Sulis call her a poor girl.
"Good! But don't be happy just yet, there are requirements you have to work on!" ms. Sulis smiled obliquely.
"What screen is Mom?" Tri was undaunted, responding casually.
"Seven o'clock tonight, I'll invite the neighbors, your cover yesterday, because you have dared to challenge me. I'll give you punishment!" bu Sulis's toilet has a chest.
Tri was just listening, not intending to cut off his would-be-in-law speech.
"I asked you to make a box of rice not much really, only 100 boxes" Sulis said lightly.
"Okay, ma'am" replied Tri briefly.
"Wait first! I'm not done talking yet" Sulis said.
"The contents of the box contain lead rice, chicken opor, meat rendang, tempe tofu bacem, anointing and the last crackers," Bu Sulis smiled dismissively.
"Ready Ma'am," Tri stared at the clock as it was 11.
"Wait a minute, from putting together the bok, washing the dishes, and until this kitchen is clean, you have to do it yourself, no one can help. If you succeed, I will bless you! but if you don't, you should immediately step down to become my daughter-in-law's candidate!" ms. Sulis looked at Tri who was still standing in front of her.
"Not only that, the cuisine must be delicious, do not embarrass the Burhanudin family," concluded bu Sulis then left Lastri.
