Sulastri's Struggle.

Chapter 54

Lastri was in his hometown for three days. During that time Tri also stayed at his house to gather with Dwi and Eko.

"Mas Eko's. Don't you want to come with me to Jakarta?" tanya Tri is currently ready to go back to Jakarta. "There's a vacancy in my garment" Lastri suggested.

"No Deck, let me wait for Father's house, if I have sustenance later, I will clean up," Eko did not want to leave the place.

"Mas Joko, don't you want to come?" Lastri turned to look at Joko who was feeding her son.

"No Deck, you know, Mother I'm sick, there's no way I'm leaving her" replied Joko was right.

"We're here on Deck, waiting for the convenience, if there's free time, we'll visit Mom," Pure who just finished preparing breakfast with Dwi hovered over the conversation.

"Em.. later if you get married, we isyaAllah will come Kok Tri," Dwi who was drying her hair with a towel just finished bathing approached.

"Alright Ma'am, Mas," Tri relented. They had breakfast together, telling each other about their circumstances during their absence. Lastri then left after Arman came to pick him up.

Arman picked up Lastri by motorbike, because according to the plan they agreed before leaving for the airport will leave Arman's parents first.

"The question is like this once in a while," Arman pulled both of Tri's palms and wrapped them around his stomach while laughing at him.

"Ih! Very habit yes," Tri hit the back of Arman who was already on the bike.

"Hurry up, don't mode," Lastri pressed Arman's shoulder with the palm of his hand. Arman smiled and then ran his bike slowly.

Arman happy, the moment of riding the bike both like this want to pass Arman through. When there is a gajlugan often Tri's forehead hit his back really makes Arman happy.

Along the way Arman was no boss, looking at his lover's face from the rearview mirror. Making Pastri blush in shame.

Time felt fast they got in front of Arman's house.

"Assalamualaikum.." said Tri. Without being invited directly into the courtyard of the house to approach the mother Sulis, grabbing the almost wrinkled hands that kissed her while closed.

"Waalaikumsalam.." - Mrs Sulis who was sitting on the porch of the house let her hands kissed Tri, but did not intend to look at him precisely the view of Mrs Sulis was fixed to Arman who was putting a motor into the garage.

"Mom, we ask for permission to return to Jakarta" said Tri.

"Yes just come back! I didn't invite you to come here either!" ketus bu Sulis irritated.

Deg. Tri's heart felt as sculpted as it might.

"Oh sorry ma'am, if my presence bothers Mom, but how rude, if I want to be Mas Arman's wife, but do not ask for Mother's blessing. Ma'am, we beg you, our blessing," Tri looked at Sulis ma'am who was either listening to her words or not.

"No! If you want to get married, please! But don't expect me to be at your wedding!"

Tri was just silent no longer want to argue, it was very difficult to flex the heart of his would-be-in-law who was as hard as a rock.

"Where's Dad, ma'am?" The incoming Arman broke the tension.

"There's inside" replied Sulis briefly.

"But Tri, I'll take the suitcase first" said Arman, staring at Tri's face with deep disappointment.

"Yes, it's Mas,"

Sulis left Tri behind Arman.

"Tri, you're leaving now, son?" ask Burhan sir who just came out.

"Hehe. ya ndak to Nduk, your marriage will still be two months away, if it's less than a week away, then Dad's there," replied Mr. Burhan.

"But... You came with Mom, right?" cecar Lastri was worried about Sulis' mother's words earlier.

"Of course to Nduk, when his son wants to get married, ndak come, why to? How do you ask that?" mr. Burhan felt strange about Tri's question.

"Oh no sir, I just want to make sure," Lastri smiled hiding a bitterness.

"Let's go," Arman's already pulling the suitcase.

"Be careful, Le. Nduk," Mr. Burhan escorted Arman and Lastri to the fence.

"Yes sir, thank you," Lastri who replied then entered the car of Mr. Burhan, it turns out that the driver of Mr. Burhan was waiting outside the fence.

The driver drove the car to the airport. Lastri seemed to be quietly leaning against the seat, with her eyes closed, folding both her hands in front of her chest.

Imagine her prospective in-laws if they really prove their words, do not come to her wedding event that IshaAllah they will do only once in a lifetime. Of course, not only Pastri was disappointed, but also his parents.

Tri took a heavy breath. He thought after successfully carrying out the orders of Sulis. Mrs Sulis was consistent with what she had promised, but it turned out that Mrs Sulis had reneged.

"Tri," Arman surprised the reverie of Lastri. He stared fixedly at Tri's face, which was red, because his white face was exposed to sunlight.

"What," he said. Breathing softly on Tri's face. Tri then opened his eyes in surprise, because Arman's face was right in front of his face. Tri then shifted to the car door.

"Hehehe...." Arman chuckled staring at the red tinge on Tri's face. Lastri blushed in shame.

Tri became remembered long ago, when he was in school. Behind his firm attitude Arman when he became a leader in the restaurant and in his Cafe. It is different when teaching. Arman can sometimes be assertive but sometimes make students feel comforted because of the joke of Arman.

Arman docked to sit one seat with Lastri.

"Damnihh! Mas.. narrow knows," Tri reasoned even though his heart was pounding.

The driver just smiled looking at the two lovebirds who were kasmaran.

Not feeling the car arrived at the airport, Arman and Lastri immediately check in, after saying goodbye to the driver.

An hour later they waited for the plane bound for Jakarta to take off. Tri immediately put on his seat belt as well as Arman.

"Tri, I got a deposit from Mom," Arman took out a box wrapped in gifts, yellow to emasan from his jacket pocket and gave it to Tri.

Lastri looked at the gift with a furrowed forehead. "What is that, Mom?" tri's chest rumbled, clutching what Arman meant, negative thoughts popping up in Tri's mind. Hownot? There had not been fifteen minutes, but Sulis made a decision that made Tri stunned, but now Sulis ma'am left something.

"It's a gift from Mom, she said, our wedding present" Arman handed her the item.

But Tri is flinching. "Ha-wedding gift, Mas? Then what's it all about?" Lastri hesitated to accept the item. What if Mrs Sulis made it clear not to marry Arman? Tri shook his head slowly.

"Tri accept this," Arman repeated.

"But... I'm afraid Mas?" Lastri was afraid to accept anything else until he opened the gift.

Arman also nodded. "Better, we open together,"
