" really ? ", Hana's voice sounded in disbelief.
" Yes, but don't rush mba. What Namu clearly said for this time Love shows no expression of rejection ".
" Thank God, I hope this is a good start for him. Thank you so much my sister "
And Hana hung up on that phone, her face looking bright. Meanwhile Arjuna looked at his wife with a curious look.
" Hopefully this time it works ".
" Who is it with ? ", asked Juna while receiving a bowl of green bean porridge that is still steaming and scented deliciously.
" The one from Semarang .... Rayhan or .. who was ".
" Ooh Rayhan. The love story of Rayhan and his wife is remarkable' ".
" Oh yeah .. can you dong I was told "..
Arjuna smiled as he enjoyed the sweet, savory and warm green bean porridge. Then he told a little story too.
" Rayhan and his wife Nilam, six years apart. Then in the country of a thousand fairies decorated with bluebell flowers, they meet again. Love is beautiful, sincere and wonderful ".
" Waaaah, ", Hana's eyes sparkled. " That means it is not wrong if our Love match with their child ".
" Heeem. We as parents are just trying to ".
" Yes.... , but by the way... have you ever met that child? Syailendra I mean ".
" Ever twice. Tall... handsome .. but his smile was a little cold. And his pair of eyes. was as clear as a gray drizzle color ".
" Waaaaah .. lest I fall in love first ".
" Try if you dare ". Arjuna held his fists together, and Hana laughed.
" Dear, ... Did it ever cross your mind ?. If Love is waiting for someone ? ", ask Juna later.
" I really don't expect the wait as we experience. Yes, if the man understands and has the same feeling. If not ? ", Hana's face looks gloomy at the end of the sentence.
" Wouldn't we ask him nicely" Juna suggested
" Love. It's impossible to tell a story. He'll hold it himself ".
For a moment the pair of elders fell silent, thinking of their firstborn.
" Dear, who does a man look close to our daughter. I mean .... in your observation ? " ask Hana later.
Arjuna seemed to think for a moment. The man who was close to his daughter, someone they might already know just didn't notice. Who is that guy ?
" As if there is no . Love is too closed. Or are we the ones who have neglected him ? ".
" That's what I'm afraid of. Maybe we are too preoccupied with the problems that Raka made. Ah, the boy ..... ". Hana held her forehead.
" That's it .. pray for the best for the children. You're married to me also age thirty more. Love is still twenties.".. ", entertain Arjuna.
" Yes too.. Now I understand what the late papa felt first ".
" I'll talk to Namu later, who knows he understands a little bit about Love. They've both been pretty close this whole time ".
Hannah agreed to what her husband said.
....................
That afternoon was not too hot when Namu heard the voice of his mother talking to someone in the kitchen. Not the usual cook's mother's voice. Sure enough, there were three women who were busy with various utensils and groceries in the spacious kitchen.
" Naaah.This is the firstborn. Namu ... introduce, this is Aunt Lita and her daughter Astrid ", Orlin calls Namu who is seen in the doorway
A little awkwardly, this young man came over. While the person referred to as Aunt Lita seemed to be smiling widely, her face looked excited.
" Ho Namu, we just moved to this complex two months ago ". The woman who looked so fashionable greeted cheerfully. At first glance, his age looks like his thirties, although it must have approached or maybe more than fifty years.
Namu took revenge smiling and received the helping hand. Served him for a moment with a gesture of respect.
" Astrid's youngest aunt. Newly completed masters in Leiden Holland. Let it be independent so .. so yes we send there... bla... bla..... ".
Namu grimaced a little and gave an airy gesture to his mother Orlin. This woman is still busy telling stories of her daughter's pride. Orlin just smiled looking at Namu's expression. While the topic of conversation seemed to blush and smile while occasionally stealing glances at Namu.
" Eh Astrid ".
" Astrid", at last the girl introduced herself to Namu.
" Namu ".
" You are this .. kok even on such an SD child. Chat dong .... ".
Namu glanced at Orlin, hoping for help from his mother. In a position like this for the umpteenth time still made the young man unable to find a way to escape.
" Assalamualaikum .. ", suddenly a greeting came. Enter a tall beautiful girl dressed in jeans and a sweet pink t-shirt. The tail hair of his horse swayed in a rhythm immediately cheerfully, while the sweet smile on the face with the minimalist make up felt very alluring.
" Wa'alaikusalam ..", answered in unison four people who were there.
" There was a guest ". The love that had just come directly hugged and kissed Orlin for a moment .
The sight that did not escape at all from two guests in the Mandala family, suddenly changed the gesture and mimic Lita. The woman seemed uncomfortable and felt like she was being outmatched.
Namu smiled inwardly aware of the change. This is a chance to escape, he thought.
" Why bad luck ?. I almost left you ".
" Huh?!!", Love dumbstruck. But it did not take long because he had to follow Namu's steps by force. The young man made it uncompromising first.
" I'm sorry everyone, there is an important and urgent business with this lady ... ".
" Ah ... yes... yes. Excuse me, Auntie ... ", Love with raging following the behavior of his brother.
After Namu drags Love, Orlin captures the dislike aura of Lita. He also felt uncomfortable and finally had to straighten out all the prejudices that must be raging in the heart of the woman who now looks pouting in front of him.
" That's Love, eldest daughter mba Hana. His house is also complexed. They have been close since childhood. This time, there was a project that was done together ".
" Ohhh.... ". There was relief on Lita's face. " Then Astrid may be able to help dong ".
Orlin who understood the direction of this conversation could only smile. Neither reject nor do they agree. Things like this are not the first to happen. Orlin was getting used to it.
..................
" A candidate for you, brother ? ". The question was not at all to satisfy curiosity, but rather to flirt. The love that was still half dragged by Namu to follow his long steps, giggled amusedly.
" Come with me.... ". That's all that said. Without releasing the hand of Love, he also brought his sister into the room.
" Wait a minute ".
" Bruk", by throwing a used t-shirt in the direction of Love.
" Yet.....basic!!!. Smell tau .. ", grumbled Love with annoyance.
" Scented kaleeee ... smelly handsome brother time... ".
" Halah. Aunts like that are afraid of ".
" Not afraid ".
And even love has no power to hold back its laughter. Her tears came out because of the laughter.
" We go yuk ... to my old house ".
" Not ah .. far away ".
" Well..didn't you come here to pay the debt?. Don't eat Gajah ".
" Sister.... The charade just now ? does it include payment ? ".
" It's a different story.....".
" Aawws.... ".
Namu laughed satisfiedly at the complaining Love as he managed to squeeze the sweet nose. A deed that bears a fist on his shoulders. But the young man just laughed.
" We go straight down, do not need to say goodbye. There's still an octopus duo in there ".
"Pfffft. hi. hi. hi ..hi.", Love tried hard to hold back his laughter that was not spared too.
" This girl ..iiih ".
Namu quickly smothered the girl's mouth. But what happened was that the laughter was finally uncontrollable. Even the two of them were laughing. While stepping quickly down the stairs and rushing towards the garage, avoid the kitchen of course.
But the behavior of the two compact firstborns was well recorded by a pair of keenly watching eyes.
" I'm sorry .. Can I ask you something. But if you don't agree, don't answer ... ".
Orlin looked at Lita who suddenly became very serious upon her return from receiving the phone earlier. Covering her curiosity, Orlin developed a smile.
" May be mba, what you want to ask ".
" It's about Namu and his cousin. They seem very close. You're not worried ? ".
Hearing the question, Orlin frowned. Trying to understand the meaning of this woman.
" What do you mean by Lita ? ", orlin asked back.
" Yaaa. although the two are brothers, but they're still men and women. Such closeness is not enough .... ".
" Worrying ? ", get Orlin quickly. " They grew up together since childhood. Love loves Namu as her sister. Maybe because at the age of Toddler, the two already have adi, finally arising strong mutual feelings of support, making them very close. The proximity of two firstborns ".
" Oh so ... but, if people don't know, they must think they're lovers. Finally, the ones who want to get closer so backtrack .... do not worry about their age ? ".
Orlin did not immediately reply, he actually felt uneasy about this topic of conversation. Moreover, the one who invites talk is just a new neighbor that he does not know very well. Although the husbands have known each other for a long time in business relationships, but that does not mean his wife must interfere too deeply. But Orlin returned just to smile.
" Thank you so much attention. But let them find love naturally.
" Would I help find a mate for Namu ? ".
" Huh ?!!!!! ".
..................
" Why don't you tell me that there's her", Love growled with dismay at Namu who was frowning.
" He. he. he. he. has made a pact since yesterday. Your presence is a bonus ".
" Bonus????.... hey!!!! I saved you from those two octopuses. Now you're feeding me ".
" Waduuuh. No. Maybe you guys are right 'stupid' ". The emphasis on the last word that Namu said certainly made Love growl again.
But a tall figure who approached it in the end made Love change his attitude. He smiled sweetly as Syailendra did. While Namu was ablaze without sin.
" yeah ... Love comes along too. Can taekwondo too ? ".
" Huh?!!. ... ah, no. This .... is being held hostage by this bengal brother ". Of course, the meaning of the words refers to Namu who seems to be pretending to be stupid.
Being between two beautiful men with a charming posture is of course very fun. Moreover, you can wrestle spoiled on one of them, because he's your brother. But it's not as beautiful as it is reality.
From their departure from the hotel where Syailendra stayed until arriving at the old house of Namu family who has now switched functions to 'dojo taekwondo training, Cinta unceasingly receives envious gazes. Of course from the girls they passed. Of course, which girl would not be fascinated with the oppa Namu. Especially those who are K-Pop enthusiasts, will definitely be klepek-clepek once Namu shows a line of neat teeth like a string of pearls in a charming smile.
Now even added another limited edition man who has a pair of gray eyes, clear and very charismatic. Syailendra's declining stature from his father, made this man like a commander of the Ottoman Empire. The genetic blend between the nations that makes it look so beautiful.
Love smiled to himself, seeing these two men clutching each other in the collar of their training clothes with their legs trying to tear each other to continue. Surely some crowd of girls were imagining if they were the trophy for the prize of that match.
" Hey.... ".
Love turns when a greeting unfolds its daydream. A man smiled and suddenly stood nearby.
" I've seen you before. You're Namu's brother, right ? ".
" Yes ... ".
" I'm Glen." the man stretched out his hand.
For a moment Love seemed doubtful. He looked at this man. From the taekwondo uniform or dobok worn, Cinta knows that this man came from one Dojo with Namu. But once he met her, he really did not remember at all.
" It's okay if you don't remember. Namu never brought a girl here other than Kirana's sister and of course you ". Glen pulled out his hand that was not welcomed by Love.
" Ah .. sorry, yes Glen. I really don't remember if we ever met. My name is Love ". Finally Love also returned the introduction from Glen.
" Ha.. ha. ha. ha. Surely Namu is very protective of you yes Love ".
" Thank you .. You could be Glen ".
" Oh yeah, can I teach you some self-defense techniques ? ".
" I ? ", love refers to itself as unbelieving. He smiled crisply and said, "No ah. I am not fit for this body ".
" Who said ?. Precisely very suitable for women as beautiful and attractive as you. Would be very useful just in case .... would ya ? ".
Love was silent for a moment while frowning her forehead, then she nodded. Glen smiled excitedly.
" Come on. We start, right there ".
