Surviving Although Difficult

Chapter 1" matchmaking.

"mother? soon the aditama family will arrive, please mother and nirma get ready yes," I asked my wife lastri who was lying in front of the tv with my daughter nirma.

"then what about sulis sir,! Is he also going to sit with us in front of the guests." asked my daughter nirma to get up from her bed.

"of course, son,! Isn't she also your cousin's sister," I replied briefly and then came out in the living room.

there were footsteps approaching me, I knew that Pastri would definitely disagree if Sulis appeared.

"sir? I do not agree if Sulis shows his nose if our guests come later,! What if the orphan took the happiness of nirma" right my guess, lastri would definitely refuse sulis to attend, I saw my wife at a glance and then again sip my coffee that felt cold.

"mother knows how the nature of sulis, the child did grow up without parents, but sulis always instill kindness in his own heart, if the mother is afraid of sulis to be present, let the father talk to him,"

"whatever my father says I don't care? For sure if the son of a bitch is involved, mother will not forgive father" I exhale to reduce the tightness of hearing my wife's sentence.

I got out of my seat looking for where my niece was.

I see in her room she's not there, I go through the kitchen where she's always struggling with all the work, right? He was washing the dishes.

Sulis realized my arrival, my heart rippled where I saw her smile that they were like roses that looked so sweet.

"pakde is what,! What's pakde bituh something?" tanyanya walked over to me.

"sit,! Let me get it if you need something" he said again not separated with a sweet smile.

"no son? You just sit down, sirde here because he wants to talk about something," I said, patting the chair asking him to sit down.

"what's up, sir,! It looks like Pakde is worried," he said looking at my old face.

"this is it, boy,! Don't you take it personally, huh,? Your bud asked you not to?"

"do not join the matchmaking event," cut the sulis as if knowing the purpose of my conversation.

"no problem sir,! When guests arrive? I'll stay in the kitchen and won't come out without orders from bude, sir don't worry, I'll be fine even if I don't join you guys,"

Nyess.it hurts so much to hear the truthfulness of my bangs,

He even prepared himself for anything that would happen in this match.

I rubbed his head gently, he looked at me but said nothing, only his eyes seemed to hint that there were thousands of questions but he preferred to keep them to himself.

I turned my gaze I was not strong to look at the shady eyes that belonged to him, even this eye seemed to heat up powerless to hold the guilt of not being able to realize my sister's request.

"alright, son,! Thank you for your patience, forward again yes, do not let his guests come and not people in the living room"

"yes sir, I also want to prepare some cakes to serve" he said, standing up and grabbing some plates on the table and filling them with his cake.

I left the kitchen and went out in the living room, I saw my wife was ready with her dress that looked very graceful.

"mother where nirma" I asked the lastri who was fixing her hijab, she looked difficult maybe because the lastri was not ordinary hijab so she was a little overwhelmed.

"just look in his room sir, you don't see I'm busy, how do you know where I am?" the answer is origin without turning away from the mirror.

Not wanting to upset her, I chose to approach nirma in her room,

I knocked on the door of the room of nirma until some time the door was opened revealing a different nirma than usual.

"wah? Beautiful father's daughter, tiyas must be happy to see his future wife like an angel of heaven," I praised nirma so as not to frown like her mother

"iya dong sir, nirma is a drop from the mother, so it is only natural that the nirma is beautiful "his answer cannot be separated from his arrogance.

"god I know you are just, so do not exchange the happiness of my two daughters for pain either for nirma or for sulis."

I left the room and went back to the room tau, heard the sound of a motorbike roar in the yard, I stood up and saw it turned out that the person we had been waiting for since had finally come too.

I came out rushing to him, I salami both his parents, but I was confused why tiyas was invisible.

I wanted to ask but it felt impolite, I took them in and because it was hot enough outside to stay there.

"let's go in, sir," asked Tiyas' parents.

"let's let me help you, sir" said his mother tiyas named bu fatma,

Maybe because her husband is walking less balanced so she helps him to walk.

"please sit down, ma'am, I went inside and told my wife about it again nobody" I said as I left them both in the living room.

"their mother has come, if mother is done, if she has met them,"

"yes this sir is also done, quickly tell nirma and tell her to come out to welcome her future father-in-law,"

"bareng mom, yes, you want to go to the kitchen first to ask sulis to deliver a drink to our guests,"

"did you forget what you asked for? Why do you still ask the boy to come out," looks pastri withholding his regret, I know it's not easy for me to let the boy out even if just deliver a drink to them.

"then how? Do you want to serve a drink for them, besides tiyas son has not come, only his parents only come first, so do not papa if sulis serve them first," I said I was trying to melt my wife's heart.

"what father do you mean? Why don't the tiyas come yet" asked my wife lastri and went out into the living room.

"good afternoon ma'am please sit back" my wife said as I got behind her.

"how is buk pak to be healthy yes" said my wife just mince words.

"Alhamdulillah we are healthy ma'am" replied bu fatma graciously.

"By the way I don't see my mother's son's tiyas" my wife asked straight to the point.

"oh.that's mom,! Tiya is still on the road because my son was paralyzed so he had to ride an angkot with his sister, understand ma'am we do not have a car so forced to use public transportation in order to get here"

I saw my wife, there was a clear look of annoyance on her face.

Perhaps he was shocked to hear the word paralyzed tiyas.

"keep bu fatma and sir aksan coming here on what ride?" ask my wife again without feeling embarrassed, I can see if bu fatma and Pak Aksan throw each other a glance to give an answer.
