The First Night of Cana (Angel Without Wings)

Got you!

Joddy stared bitterly at the beautiful woman who was laughing out loud in front of him, making some restaurant visitors stare at them with various expressions. But the woman with a sharp nose and an exotic brown skin was just indifferent, she was more interested in Joddy's love story that ngenes. Well, Joddy told her love story minus about the night of the curse and Kana's pregnancy.

"Are you funny?"

The beautiful woman eased her laughter then nodded. " Luculah, the same courtship I you hold my hand aja ogah. Uh, now even know already fiancee same girl who is not your girlfriend. Karma for kali, Jod. Unwilling a girl as good as me." The woman wagged her long hair arrogantly.

"Sis, you're just here to catch me?" Joddy narrowed his eyes towards Siska.

"No, I want to meet my girlfriend all want to go to Bandung to my ponakan circumcision event," said Siska. "My anterine lo?" he then blinked his eyes.

Joddy frowning. " Where to go? Meet your guy, thank you! Males!"

"My number is to Bandung. My guy can't be because he's busy."

"Lo don't think I'm busy?" reply Joddy fierce.

"Lo busy what the hell? Just bemoaning fate, right?" siska laughed without sin.

"Beib"

"Don't call me that!" cut Joddy fast, Kana used to silence him all day because Siska called him with the call.

Siska laughed at Joddy's expression. "Btw, when's your wedding plan?"

"Can we talk about something else?"

"No." answered Sisca quickly. " I wonder why you want to marry that girl why?"

Joddy heard Siska's question. Siska's a good friend despite being nosy. Even when they were dating, he never demanded anything from Joddy. His son is also cool to talk to, but to tell the main reason he had to marry Laras it seems Siska is not that close to him so he must know the main reason Joddy.

"One of them, I don't agree with my girl's status."

" Widow huh?"

Joddy nodded. "His husband is my best friend."

Siska. "One of them? Means many reasons dong why you should marry your fiancee now?"

"Why don't you be sure you're not sure if you want to be the same girl?"

"Udah, but-" Joddy was silent for a moment. No, he won't tell you what Siska shouldn't know.

"But?" Siska awaits the continuation of Joddy.

Joddy looked at Siska, no. Siska doesn't have to know what happened let alone Kana's pregnancy. Joddy opened his mouth like he was about to say something but he just exhaled. "Huh."

Siska almost threw her empty plate when Joddy just took a breath."Asem!"

"It's complicated, you won't understand!" exclaim Joddy.

Siska sneered and looked at Joddy. "Yes, it is actually natural that you are somewhat less agree lo marriage with a girl whose status is widowed. Well, either way parents want the best, Jod."

"Do you mean the status of widows is not good?"sambar Joddy won't take it.

"Not so Jod, this is me talking about reality from the point of view of most parents. In fact, there are many parents out there who slightly object that their children are single and never married, choosing a partner with the status of widow or widower have children too." Siska.

Joddy leaned back and looked at Siska seriously."Why do you think?"

Siska took a sip of her coffee before replying, "It could be that they were afraid that her son would not be able to bear the risk or burden in the future. However, you know yourself the negative stigma that exists in the community about the status of widows or widowers . They will think that single parties are usually required to sacrifice more. Mind cake, financial cake. Not to mention if about children, then there will be new children."

"But many out there widow or widower marriages with single ones end happily."

"Yes I know. That's like we're counting the population of people playing Jod stock. Some people get rich, some people lose a lot." Siska raised her eyebrows and leaned her body in front of Joddy. "The old man is a fortune-teller. Wh why? Because they have a basic instinct, they've cared for their children lovingly so know what's best for their children."

"But you also have to remember that parents are also ordinary people. They may be wrong in judging. They are too hopeful and have high ego until they forget that they are just ordinary humans who can shine. The prestige that sometimes makes them forget." Joddy takes out his argument making Siska tick dead. Ah, really if you argue with an ex-fakboy like this, always lose!

" Yes, already now you have to change the mindset of your parents especially nyokap lo. Make sure you believe that the woman you choose is good. Well, even though I can't guarantee you'll change your mind when I squirm," said Siska with a cocky tone at the end of his sentence made Joddy shake his head slowly. Instead of being angry Siska laughed with excitement.

"I don't think you guys feel the same way," said Joddy shuddering in horror.

"I'm good at it, I'm good in bed. Wanna try?" seductive Siska, Joddy throws the woman in front of him with a wad of tissue. Siska greeted Joddy's throw with a sinless laugh. It's nothing, Siska loves teasing Joddy. They used to date, but only for a few weeks. Siska is not strong with Joddy's attitude that is too indifferent to her even not touching Siska. Siska once teased Joddy in sexy but nil clothes. Joddy's not interested at all. Siska suspects Joddy is gay. But it turns out that was not proven because Siska found many photos of one beautiful woman in the gallery of Joddy's phone that was stored specifically in a folder that Joddy deliberately hid.

"Gue just needs to gather evidence to fail my marriage." Joddy plays his glass, his mind glares trying to find a way to get proof that Kana is pregnant by him.

"From this moment you're talking about the proof of mulu, what's the evidence?" Siska was long-overwhelmed as well because Joddy was covering something up.

"Lo doesn't need to know." Joddy stared at his mobile phone that had been shaking since. There is the name of his mother on the blue screen that must be the Mother is confirming its existence, or it could be Laras calling mother and complaining that he left her just like that.

"Yes it is. I'm going to Bandung."

Joddy staring at lazy Siska, to Bandung at a clock like this? Really males!

"Come Jod. Lo quite drop me at my sister's house keep you can go back. Please, I'm using public transportation. Ticket from Papua to here my treatment a month," pinta Siska.

Joddy snorted." You think I'm a grab driver?" But Joddy moved from his seat as well.

"Hunter, I don't have much time." Joddy looked at Siska who was still sitting staring at him, but smiled then when he realized Joddy was willing to drive him.

4 Hours drive Jakarta-Bandung ahkirnya Joddy and Siska to also at the house of Sister Siska, before magrib. Siska who replaced Joddy drove from the toll until the house stopped her car in a two-story house whose yard was quite spacious. The yard is overgrown with shade trees and fruit. There are wooden swings and prosotans as well. A very homely type.

"Come on Jod, I think his thanks are done." Siska opens the door to Joddy's car and unceremoniously enters the house which seems to have just held a big event evident from the many people who are busy cleaning the living room a little messy.

"Yushzaa!!!! Aunt is coming! Play yukkk!" The shrill voice of Siska made the attention of the people who had been busy for a while. Joddy who stood behind Siska only shook his head to see the absurd behavior of his friend.

A hijab-wearing woman appears with a baby in her cradle. "Jeez Siska! Very habit! Greetings cake, even kayaking in the woods!" That woman Joddy's age was nagging. His face is very similar to Siska, well Siska kalem version is.

"Ihh, Ms. Moza is also a habit of still nagging!" reply Siska then the two brothers hugged.

"Hi, Mizi. Uluh..ten...the cheek is the pisan euy gravel!" Siska was about to touch the tiny sleeping baby but Moza nimbly kept her away.

"Clean off first!" the thrill was fierce and then looked at Joddy who had been watching the house since.

"Oh, saha eta?" Moza nudged Siska's arm pointing at Joddy with the direction of her eyes.

"Supir grab, Tea. "Siska giggles at the sight of Joddy's plot.

"Temen me, Ma'am. From Jakarta he really wants to come."

Again Joddy glared at Siska.

"I mean he made her come here," Siska immediately said. "Even though I'm mostly driving anyway" he grumbled softly.

"Ah, you are." Moza slapped Siska's shoulder and looked at Joddy. " His friend Siska huh? I'm Moza, her sister. Let's go in. I'm sorry it's a mess, thanksgiving my oldest son." Moza nodded kindly at that smiling Joddy.

"Joddy, Siska's friend from Jakarta." Joddy introduced himself.

"Oh, Jakarta. My husband also works in Jakarta. Actually we live in Jakarta but since yesterday pregnant the third child so deh go back to Bandung first, to this in-law house." Moza told me while gesturing the two men to enter the house. Joddy only beards, beaches no Sundanese accent.

"Bet Brother Thom-thom also come home, Ma'am?" Siska asked by hand to pluck the cake in the jar.

"Yes just took a shower Reza tuh. It was finished the time. Bang out! Bang Thom!" Moza then shouted into the house.

"Bang Thom!! Siska's coming! For dong money!" siska's yelling makes Moza and Joddy just shake their heads.

"Yuhuu, I'm coming!" the shout came along with a man still wearing cocoa clothes walking in a hurry.

"Eh, you're Sis when dat-" The man fell silent as he saw Joddy standing in front of him. No less surprised by the man, Joddy was also shocked, but he was more able to control himself.

"Bang Thomas, know me!" exclaiming Siska introduced Joddy to his sister-in-law who had since swallowed the grin to see Joddy's grin.

"Because of you!"
