Mama Helen's words were still ringing in Shinta's mind. The request that she be willing to be the wife of Wira certainly makes the girl shocked not play. That's an impossible thing. How could he who was only the son of a maid become the son-in-law of the distinguished Ghazala family. Who is this art person. Shinta knows herself enough. Even Wira did not love him coupled with the incident last night that made the man hate him even more.
"woi–Shinta, daydreaming what the hell, from aunty look you absolutely ngak concentration work. That's the temple's almost charred, Shinta."
Shinta flinched in shock and reflexes lowered her head and saw his true cooking almost kematengan aka charred. " Astagfirullah, sorry-sorry ya bi." Shinta hurriedly caved in and drained it. While bi Darmi shook his head.
"You're the reason, Shin. Did the madam say what you were, did you end up being scolded by the madam?" Shinta shakes.
"Then, what ? You're having problems how, maybe aunty can help." Bi Darmi is indeed very kind and Shinta respects her like her own mother.
"There's nothing, bi. I'm ah.ayo we finish the cooking, bi. Later can get angry mad madam if the cuisine chatter rampampung because most chat."
"Where is madam, Shin...Shin, he's gentle and thoughtful not to fuss like you." Bi Darmi even mocked Shinta.
"Ish, bi Darmi can do it."
They continued cooking until an hour later all the dinner dishes had been arranged neatly on the dining table.
Time has shown at 18.30 WIB. Liam's little family with bi Arum just arrived. Mama Helen immediately grabbed the grandchild and held him while kissing the cheeks of the plump toddler's gembill.
"Ma, what do you want to talk about. How, all of a sudden?" Vania has not been told what she will talk about.
"Get in first, you'll know later!" Vania no longer asked, she followed her mother-in-law's steps to the family room.
Exactly at 19:30 WIB. The entire family had gathered and they headed straight to the dining room. "Well, where are Arum and Shinta?" Ask Mama Helen when she does not see the whereabouts of the mother and child.
Vania also went bawling looking for her aunt and sister. "They must be behind Ma, let me call him." Vania got up from her seat and stepped towards the back precisely in the maid's room.
"Shin, you're not doing this, are you? Not usually miss Helen to call mother like this. Then mending you come with mom alone or you snekos, later for the cost of living you mother who bears than later mother and mbak you who are ashamed. The Ghazalas have been very kind to our families and even accepted your mother-in-law as a daughter-in-law even though we are poor. Now the same story mom, what really happened?" Bi Arum was interrogating his daughter. The middle-aged woman was impatient if she had to wait for the master to say it.
Shinta heads down in fear of her mother, making bi Arum even more convinced if something goes wrong and that it involves her daughter.
"Why shut up, let's quickly tell the truth what's really going on? Just a few months you work here has made trouble, Shinta you are too installment anyway." Bi arum to get anxious with the behavior of his daughter who sometimes likes installments can not be silent not naughty but sometimes likes to be too spoiled.
But, now Shinta lives in Ghazala residence to work especially without supervision from bi Arum himself. Eating bi Arum was very worried that his daughter would make mistakes and make her employer disappointed.
"Anu–that's ma'am, Madam and Mister have misunderstood. It–." Shinta is nervous and confused as to how to tell it.
"Misunderstand what you mean, Shinta's clear story is not anu it's anu!" Bi Arum was anxious for his daughter who told him mengla mcle is not clear.
Sighing deeply, Shinta continued her story to her mother. Shinta said that she also did not know the chronology of the incident when she was unconscious and knew when she realized she was in her room with Wira. "That's the story, ma'am. But, Miss Helen instead asked me to marry the young lord of Wira. I'm confused ma'am, what should I do."
Bi Arum was so surprised by the expression of his daughter, how could it happen. Families as distinguished and wealthy as they would not be able to take a prospective daughter-in-law from among the awah like his son, Shinta. "Then, what did you answer, madam?"
Tok tok tok tok
"Auntie, Shinta. Can I come in?"
"Come on Van!"
Vania has been stealing Arum's conversation with Shinta. Vania was also no less surprised to hear what was told by Shinta. "Bi, I'm sorry.I just heard everything you're talking about and I also don't understand why Mama wants Shinta and Wira to get married. What Mama Helen was planning. But, let's see how it will be bi. Oh yeah, Mama and the others are waiting for us to have dinner together. Come on, bi.you're Shin too."
"Van, we can't eat together with the employers. Even if you're aunt's niece but, still don't change the status of aunt and Shinta who is just a maid." True what bi Arum said, he and Shinta were only art status.
"So that too, bi. It's Mama herself who wants aunt and Shinta to join her for dinner. For the problem of Shinta with Wira later we will find a way out yes, bi. Now I beg you to follow Mama Helen's wishes."
Bi Arum and Shinta looked at each other as if asking for approval from each other. "Alright Van, come–!."
The dinner together took place with wisdom, only bi Arum and Shinta seemed uncomfortable. Moreover, Shinta who occasionally gets a cynical look from Wira. The girl realized that she and her mother did not deserve to sit at one table let alone eat together with their families.
And now they have gathered in the living room including bi Arum and Shinta.
"Ekhem– alright, because everything has been present here then, we will just start what we will negotiate about the matter of Wira and Shinta." Papa Bhishma started the conversation.
"Wira and Shinta? What does this mean, Pa?" Liam who does not know yet so astonished and wondering what is with Wira and Shinta. Did something happen between his sister and Shinta. That's what Liam had in mind.
It was not Papa Bhishma who answered but Mama Helen. "Yes, we're gathering tonight to talk about the wedding plans for Wira with Shinta. With last night, we don't want anything to happen to Shinta. So, immediately Wira must marry Shinta as a form of responsibility for the actions he has done to Shinta."
"What the hell is this Ma, Pa. Didn't I explain since last night that nothing happened to the two of us and that I didn't even touch him much less stain him. Mama is both women must know what if a girl is not holy anymore.Ask and check Shinta, I guarantee she is still a virgin because I did not harass her." The hero immediately stood up and evaporated his emotions. He had already said honestly but, his parents still did not believe him as well even now instead wanted him to marry a girl who had not even a month of knowing him.
"Wira—sit down first, we solve this problem together with a cool head. It's also for your future, son!" Papa Bhishma tried to calm the son.
Wira melengos not lazy to respond to the words of the mother." Never mind, it's up to Mama and Papa. I said anything that would have an effect, too." The hero immediately interrupted leaving in annoyance.
"Sir, Nyonya– what mister mufa Wira said is indeed true. Last night nothing happened between them. Shinta does not even remember what happened to her because she was unconscious and according to Shinta she felt nothing, such as pain...Madam must have understood what I meant. So, please cancel the plan to marry the two of them. The young master seemed to be very angry and did not accept it. Again forgive us, madam, sir. If allowed let Shinta come with me alone or he can snekos outside so that the presence of Shunta here does not interfere with the comfort of young master Wira." Long bi Arum explained and gave a way out of this misunderstanding.
Mama Helen shook her head and refused Arum's request. "No, bi. The hero will still marry Shinta. Because we believe that Shinta is a suitable girl for the Hero. May they be fooled."
"Alright, the final decision has been taken and their wedding plans will still be implemented. Hero problem, let her Mama take care of it."
Everyone present could say nothing more. So did Liam and Vania. Liam silently smiled faintly, thinking maybe this was the way out so that his sister could move on.
