The Charm of Mas Jaka

Dilemmas

At the residence of Dara's eyes, Miss Rosmah who had just arrived at the magnificent house, was coldly welcomed by her parents.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Pa, Ma" said Ms. Rosmah to her parents, who were sitting on the terrace enjoying the sunshine on a warm morning.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied the mother who only turned a glance and then returned busy with knitted threads in her hands.

While the father, it seems still fun with the newspaper he read.

"Papa and Mama, healthy?" mama asked Rosmah while sitting on the chair next to her.

"Hem," the father replied with a mutter, making Miss Rosmah want to cry because she felt ignored.

Although this is not the first time, still Miss Rosmah always felt pain, regret, guilt, all mixed into one.

Although his presence is often ignored, Ms. Rosma always suppresses feelings and continues to be in touch with her parents. Because after all, the two of them were people to be respected.

Silence, greet the spacious terrace.

"Pa, Mama. Rosmah came here, wanted to ask for help from Papa and Mama," said Ms. Rosmah with condolences, unraveling the silence.

The mother looked over and looked at her daughter. "What help?" ask her coldly. The old woman then returned busy knitting, making a small sweater possible for one of her great-grandchildren.

In fact, if there is no urgent need as it is today, Ms. Rosmah is reluctant to visit her parents' residence because she is always seen to keep her distance from Ms. Rosmah, especially this morning Miss Rosmah came alone.

Unlike the story if Miss Rosmah comes with Dara, then the parents of Ms. Rosmah will be quite nice or pretend good to the biological daughter who has been considered to tarnish her family's good name.

Starting from the rejection of Miss Rosmah at that time, when she was betrothed to one of the sons of her friend. Ms. Rosmah instead introduced Mr. Gondo as her lover.

The relationship between Ms. Rosmah and Mr. Gondo who came from the village, of course, was about by parents especially when the young Mr. Gondo came with a sly appearance like an uneducated person.

Bu Rosma's father, who is a high official in the municipality, would be embarrassed if the princess married a man who is not equal to their family.

"It's about, Dara," said Ms. Rosmah slowly.

The father immediately kept the newspaper on the table, as well as the mother, he kept his knitting device on his lap as soon as he heard the name Dara called.

"What's wrong with my granddaughter?" ask the papa.

"Mas Gondo wants to match Dara with Mr. Carik's son, Pa." Ms. Rosmah then told about the matchmaking that had been initiated by the husband who did not involve himself.

Ms. Rosmah also told about Bambang, whose behavior was not good according to the information she heard.

"How many hundred million, your husband owes you?" ask the father who sounds very cynical.

"Rosma doesn't know for sure, Pa," Ms. Rosmah replied truthfully.

"You ask Carik yourself, don't involve your useless husband!" said the eyes of his brother Dara who did not seem to accept if the grandson was betrothed to a young man who was not right.

"How much do you need for Dara, just say, papa will transfer soon," he continued.

"Yes, Pa. Later Rosmah asked directly to Mr. Carik," said Ms. Rosmah with a smile of relief.

"But papa asked for one thing" said the father, who immediately made a smile on the graceful face of Ms. Rosmah disappear instantly.

"Both have to want to continue the desire of papa to establish brotherhood with the family of Pak Utomo," said the father.

"I mean, Papa?" ask Ms. Rosma who actually can guess, where the direction of the conversation papa.

"Here you have to marry his granddaughter Pak Utomo, his son Herman, to replace the failure of your previous match with Herman," explained the father, who made Miss Rosmah instantly limp.

Ms. Rosmah knew that Mr. Utomo's family was indeed a wealthy family that was commensurate with his father's family. Ms. Rosmah also knew that Mr. Utomo's family was a priyayi family.

However, Ms. Rosmah also knew that Mr. Utomo's family was a marriage family. Almost all of his children, had wives of more than two including Herman.

In addition, Miss Rosmah also could not make the princess disappointed, by agreeing to the arranged marriage without involving Dara.

Ms. Rosmah knows very well that her daughter loves Jaka, a smart and hardworking simple young man. And Ms. Rosmah did not mind if the princess was in a relationship with a young man who was often proposed by her husband as a sheepherder.

"Sorry, Pa. If that's what you ask, Rosmah doesn't dare to promise anything. Rosmah will discuss this with Dara first" said Ms. Rosmah.

"Why?" asked the papa half-piercingly, with a frown deep.

"They've been in a relationship with a young man, Pa," replied Ms. Rosmah timidly.

His sister Dara was sighing harshly. "Tell Dara, don't let her make the wrong decision like you did! Married an obscure young man!" heck the papa who still brought up the past of his daughter.

"It's not like that, Pa. He's a good, tenacious, intelligent and friendly boy" said Bu Rosmah who praised Jaka.

"Oh, so his name is Jaka?" ask the papa. "Lecture where is he? Medicine too, like my granddaughter?"

Miss Rosmah shook her head. "Jaka studied at the boarding school, Pa," replied Ms. Rosmah.

"Ck," Dara's eyes clucked. "Your daughter's a doctor candidate, Ros. Papa has also prepared funds, if later Dara wants to take a specialist. Cook a specialist just married to a shepherd, would you like to eat what will my grandson? Birds in the scabbard!" papa's circus, which made Miss Rosmah bow her head.

Miss Rosmah no longer wants to refute the words of her parents, even though she does not agree with the father.

For Ms. Rosmah, the rizqi has been arranged by the Almighty. Not that, if someone is not in high school then his salary is inferior to people who are educated, have degrees and positions.

Ms. Rosmah never judged others like that, just as she had chosen Mr. Gondo who was originally good, supple and had many friends because Mr. Gondo was good at getting along and active on campus.

Similarly, Ms. Rosmah judged Jaka, from the attitude of the young man who was polite, diligent and also thin-brained in school, not from the family where Jaka came from.

"Listen to what your father said! Don't make our family even more embarrassed because Dara married a useless man!" timpal the mother, who had been still engrossed with knitting in the hand.

"God willing, Jaka is a good young man and can make Dara happy, Ma," Ms. Rosmah replied softly.

"If that's the case, you're asking Jaka's parents to cover your husband's debt to Carik!" ketus the papa, which makes Miss Rosmah back down.

"I want to rest, if you want to help Dara free from an arranged marriage with her son Carik, then Dara must be willing to marry her son Herman!" concluded the papa who immediately moved, followed by the mother.

Leave Miss Rosmah alone on the porch of her parents' spacious house. "Isn't this the dilemma of his name, coming out of the Crocodile's mouth and into the Lion's mouth?"
