The Charm of Mas Jaka

Singles Party

Bambang frowned seeing Arini smile. 'So child, threatened why even smile?' batin Bambang asked.

'It's been stressful times huh, Arin. Because I'm obsessed with my charms.' Bambang smiled confidently.

While Arini who is still smiling monologues in silence. 'Mas Bambang said so, it means he wants to marry me. Yes, after marriage I'll tie her up so she can't just divorce me.'

Bambang then invites Arini to go out, meet their parents back.

Bambang's face looks very tangled, on the contrary, Arini's face looks very bright because finally Arini's dream to be married to Bambang will soon be realized.

'It is not in vain that I give up my honor to Mas Bambang, because I can finally marry him, ' whispered Arini inwardly, after he returned to sit beside his father.

While Bambang, sitting back beside his father.

'But I have to thank Jaka and Dara, thanks to them both finally my wish can be realized, ' continued Arini who still mengumum smile.

"So, how, Mbang?" ask Pak Sekcam while looking at Mr. Carik Margono's son.

"Good, Sir. I am willing to marry Dik Arini" replied Bambang.

"When are you going to propose to my daughter?" ask Pak Sekcam without further ado. "If you can quickly and immediately get married because I do not want something unwanted to happen to Arini," continued Mr. Sekcam firmly.

Bambang looked at his father.

Mr. Carik then nodded. "All right, Mr. Sek. Next week we will propose to Arini and they can both get married legally" said Mr. Carik, who made Bambang very surprised.

"A week to go, Dad?" ask Bambang. "That's right, the wedding date that has been set for Bambang and Dik Dara, Dad!" bambang protests whisper.

"Your wedding invitations are scattered, Mbang. All the distant brothers already know and they will go home on that day, yes already 'right," replied Mr. Carik who also whispered.

"So how, Mr Carik? Is it positive next week?" scowled Mr. Sekcam when he saw the father and son were whispering to each other.

"Yes, Sir. Next week, positive," replied Mr. Carik firmly.

Bambang glanced at Arini at a glance and immediately threw his gaze in the other direction. While Arini, Mr. Sekcam's daughter smiled happily.

"Alright, then you two take care of the letters immediately," said Mr. Sekcam to Bambang and Arini.

Only Arini nodded excitedly.

In a simple house, belonging to Jaka's parents. The tall young man who had just returned from Dara's house, went straight to the kitchen to help the mother who was cooking.

"What cooking, Mom?" jaka asked as he approached the woman who was about forty years old.

"Emak wants to cook the same eggplant, Nang. Earlier your father pesen, peng dimasakin it before leaving for Kang Darjo's house," replied his mother Jaka, mengolek seasoning.

"Let Jaka alone who ngulek, Mak," pinta Jaka who immediately took muthu from the hands of the mother.

Mak Karti, Jaka's mother then weed the freshly picked eggs from the side yard.

"Father to Lek Darjo's house what do you want, Mak?" ask Jaka. The young man then helped the mother weed the vegetables, after which the spices were refined.

"Not to be sold, Mom. To pay the same Syahriyah pocket money tomorrow, InsyaAllah Jaka already has the money," said Jaka.

Mak Karti stopped his activities, the shady-faced woman looked at the son. "Where's your money from, Nang?" concerned Little Mak Karti, the son did bad things.

Jaka smile. "Starting last semester, Jaka can many orders to help friends make the thesis, Mak," replied Jaka.

"Then, Jaka wanted to use to propose to Neng Dara this week, but it seems to have to be postponed first, Mak," continued Jaka.

"You're still in touch with Dara's sister, Nang?" tanya Mak Karti while frowning. "She was married, you know, the same Mas Bambang. You don't fuck around, Nang!" peremat Mak Karti while looking at the son.

Jaka shakes. "Their marriage is off, Mother. Mas Bambang will be married to his son Pak Sekcam, "Jaka replied.

"Do'akan Jaka ya, Mak. May Jaka's desire to marry Neng Dara be granted," pinta Jaka.

Mak Karti nodded. "Aamiinu. God willing, Nang. Mum is also cool if you can be the same Neng Dara, she is a good girl. His mother was also very kind to his mother, Nang. He used to ask you if it was right that we met at the stall." Netra Mak Karti shines brightly when talking about Dara and Miss Rosmah.

"But, Nang. Mr. Kades is a fierce guy and doesn't like our family, Nang." That shady face instantly turned into a wist.

"Jaka will continue to strive to be a successful person, Mak. Jaka is sure, someday Mr. Kades will definitely be able to accept Jaka," said Jaka with confidence.

Mak Karti nodded. "Amijin, Nang. Nothing is impossible in this world, if we are willing to make an effort. It's okay that your father and mother are not highly educated, as long as you can continue to study as high as possible." Mak Karti rubbed the son's sturdy arm with glazed neutrals.

Jaka immediately took the hand and kissed it with reverence.

"Your money is saved, Nang, for your daily needs. Make a semester payment, let us think about it," said Mak Karti, while continuing to weed vegetables.

"That's saved is already there, Mak. Mak don't worry, Jaka remains in mourning for Jaka's future as Mak advises." Jaka looked at the mother, the young man then smiled.

"Alhamdulillah, Mak, since two months ago Jaka was also asked to help fellow lecturer assistants to make a thesis," he continued.

"Thesis? What is it, Nang?" tanya Mak Karti who is only a Junior High School graduate in the village.

"The final task of the lecture for those who take S2, Mak," replied Jaka simply, the young man did not want to make the mother more confused by the terms that must be difficult to understand by Mak Karti.

"H2? Lha you S1 is not finished, mosok instead help students S2 tho, Nang?" the father, who had just arrived, asked.

Jaka smile. "Lha nggih niku, sir. Jaka had refused but those who were mean, je," replied Jaka.

"Yes already, inevitably Jaka dengawani," he continued.

"Well, you're opo iso, Nang?" mak Karti asked after hearing her husband's words.

"God willing, Mother. Didn't Mak say that everything that is visible can be learned?" reply and ask Jaka.

Mak Karti nodded. "There is a will and a willingness to learn."

"Assalamu'alaikum, Jaka! Let's go to the singles party!" While busy chatting with his parents, there were several young men who called Jaka's name from outside his home.
