"Sister, yesterday will be canceled, so tomorrow night you have to come. Point. Mama doesn't want any reason"
"Yes mah. If not for an impromptu project. Brother of dateng"
"Not to the project, brother. Shame on you if you don't come. Cancel it later"
Pressing the speaker button on her phone, Aska began putting some pieces of meat into Dea's stock box.
"Bright. Yesterday kaka had come, uh it was canceled from the party of temen mamah. Impact dong"
Last week Aska complied with the mother's request to come to a blind date. An hour he waited in the restaurant where the meeting was, but the woman who was invited by the son of his friend never came. Doesn't that mean that women also reject silly blind dates?.
If only, his relationship with Dea had improved. Aska will definitely bring Dea along with her tomorrow night. But in fact their relationship is still running in place, there is no progress even almost stretched because lately Dea really avoid it.
"This is different again, brother. You know it too. You sure won't mind"
"Aska no promise will come, ma'am. Big brother, but if there is work, how else"
"You want to keep on going? Your adek said you had a bustle, but failed too right?"
Failed it? I don't think that word is appropriate for Aska right now. There was still a box of Dea supplies on him, so he still had the last chance to get close to the girl. I don't know, Aska is also not sure if he can get Dea's heart, but not talking to the woman for more than a week makes Aska not okay.
"So there's mah business, then Aska phone again ya mah. Nye"
Turn off the phone connection, Aska immediately switched to look for Dea numbers. On the phone, it's impossible to remove. Therefore Aska sent a message to Dea if she would visit the woman's apartment unit. According to information from Arin, it should be at home this hour Dea. Moreover, he had also heard the sound of the door of the Dea unit being closed.
Ensuring that his appearance was quite handsome, with a lunch box and two cups of coffee, Aska came out of his apartment unit and gripped the bell of the Dea unit. Hope if the woman is willing to open the door of her apartment.
However, when the door of the unit was opened. It was not Dea that Aska saw, but rather the woman in her mama range who plugged her face from behind the door with a puzzled expression.
"Who?"
Aska's body reflexes instantly stood firm. Without having to ask back, Aska knew if the one who had just opened the door and asked him was the future mother-in-law. From the way she dresses and hairstyles Aska is sure her guess is not wrong now. Like the Echoes say if Aska should find out everything about Dea before approaching it. Not only career and where the woman lives, Aska also finds out the Dea family. At least Aska had seen the mama Dea's face from the woman's older brother's instagram account.
Nodding her head as a greeting, Aska drew her smile "I am Aska aunty, the occupant of the front unit"
"Oh yes. What is the need?"
"His tea is no aunt?" y'all know? It was like going back to adolescence. Apples at the girlfriend's house and asks permission from the mother of her boyfriend.
"The tea hasn't come home yet. Enter first son, aunty child can get gossip if anyone sees a guy standing in front of his apartment unit"
Scratching her neck that was not itchy at all, Aska stepped in after being invited. If there was only Dea in this house, Aska would definitely be sitting on the sofa right away. But, this time Aska prefers to stay standing and not sit down before being invited. Keep the image in front of the future mother-in-law.
"Dea's theme is Aska's? Kok Dea has never told of having a non-artist theme as good as you"
Isn't this the sign of the white flag flown?.
"We just became friends when Dea moved tan. I just recently moved into this building. So because both new residents, can be directly close"
The big smile. Since news of Ardigo's marriage, Ajeng is afraid that Dea will be depressed and heartbroken for a long time. But, when he saw the whereabouts of Aska, it seemed like his worry was too excessive. His daughter is beautiful, smart and famous, obviously many handsome men who would be willing to be Ardigo's successor.
"Well, just stand up. Sit down, ask what do you want to drink?"
"Any aunt"
No need too long to leave the prospective ghost alone, Ajeng returned to the living room with two cups of orange juice and a plate containing pieces of apples.

"Uhuk uhuk" Dea chokes while drinking water. Damn the streets this afternoon are quite dense until the car can only go slow amid dozens of motorcycles that have just come out of office buildings. No sudden brakes, no incident from behind, why Dea could choke all of a sudden. It was as if there was something that he had been afraid of being said by mamah to Aska at home right now.
"Can't you speed up what Rin is? Chivy. The kids in this house!" insist Dea.
Arin, who had been hunted so quickly to drive forward his car, growled annoyed. This friend of his somehow turned into a beard fire.
"Lo why the hell?"
"Raden Ajeng Purwaningsih has arrived at the apartment"
"Yes on?"
This time replace Dea who growled annoyed. It could be that from the amount of time that exists, Aska returned the supply box when the mother reached the apartment. "Aska's going to my unit"
"Oh yes ud.... WHAT????"
There is no need to share thoughts about what will happen to Aska if met with mamah, Arin who knows for himself how the mamah nature of Ajeng directly stuck the gas once the streets seemed a little relaxed after turning to the right. The Dea Apartment is not too far away, it should be with this distance that they can get to it quickly.
Not waiting for Arin to get out of the car, once the car stopped in front of his apartment building, Dea immediately went down and ran fast. Elevators that usually move fast now even feel so long. Exiting the elevator, Dea immediately ran towards her unit and pressed a quick password. Do not let mamah interrogate Aska like Dea's lover.
"Eh, his son's coming home"
Dea's gaze was not directed toward his mother who was behind the pantry table but toward Aska who seemed to sit casually on the sofa. The man's hand even waved at Dea, who inevitably in the midst of his breath that was wheezing Dea back waving.
"What are you doing here?"
"Call him to call you. Call mas, son Aska older than you mbak" Ajeng walked past his daughter while carrying a tray containing bakpia balong.
Mas?.
Faintly Dea saw Aska smiling thinly behind her word of thanks to mamah for her bakpia balong.
"Because his son has come home, aunty is staying rest in the room first yes son Aska. Talk to Dea first"
"Good aunt"
"Sir, will you stand there?"
Dea gave a rough sigh. Judging from the attitude of mamah who even told him to call Aska with the name 'mas', there must be something that has happened before.
Kissing his mother's hand, Dea took a sitting position opposite Aska. Let the mother leave them both and go into the room.
"What are you doing here?" dea asked after believing that Mamah had disappeared from behind the door.
"Aren't you going to take advice from your mom?"
"meaning?"
"Call me, I don't mind either"
Unfortunately I objected.
