The Love of Alenna

Chapter 14

Jember, night.

Long enough John's car rode unpaved roads. Until the row of houses ended, the intended has not been seen. Somewhat far from the last row of houses, there is a simple house adjacent to the rice fields.

"What is a Rangga's house?" ask Mommy Monika.

"Looks yes. We just park the car here, and then we go there. Em, bring it too!" john's orders. "Well, what shift did Rangga get today? Worrying is still in the shophouse." Suddenly John remembered.

"Silent. Mario had asked Rangga to come home early, but Rangga did not know that we were coming" explained Mommy Monika.

"Goodoo. Come on!" John went down first, followed by Mommy Monika.

Their steps are getting closer. Rangga house looks really simple, but has a neat arrangement on the front porch. There are flower pots there.

"Dad, we'll give them their wedding home, yeah. Rangga and his family must feel happiness and a decent living" Mommy Monika asked.

"That's easy. What is important now is that we try to get Alenna and Rangga married. Let our daughter do nothing strange anymore" John explained.

"Yes, agreed. They must be immediately LEGIT," support Mommy Monika.

Miss Anis, the Pride's mother was the first to notice the arrival of John and Mommy Monika. Ms. Anis then wondered who the rich man who strayed to his house.

"You want to ask for an address, huh?" ask Ms. Anis.

John and Mommy Monika look at each other.

"Hehe. Sorry, we're not going too hard. Is this really Nak Rangga's house?" ask Mommy Monika politely.

"Ah, really. I want to meet my son, yes. I call first. Please sign. The ladder is still behind. Oya, who's this with?" Miss Anis is no less polite.

"We're Alenna's parents" Mommy Monika said with a smile.

Bu Anis immediately recognized the name Alenna, because that name is often mentioned Rangga when Bu Anis told the son to get married.

"Monggo (please) sit down first. Sorry, the house is a mess. I stay behind call Rangga first," said Ms. Anis after making sure John and Mommy Monika sat down.

Incidentally, Rangga had just finished teaching. Peci and its sheath are also still worn.

"Le, there's a guest. His parents are Alenna" said Ms. Anis.

Rangga chuckles.

"Ah, I can. It's okay if you don't believe in Rangga, yes but you don't encourage Rangga like this also dong." Back Rangga chuckled.

"indiscriminately. You think mom lied, huh? It was in the living room there was really Alenna's mother's father" said Ms. Anis.

Mum. Rangga. He went back to his mother's words.

"Alenna's parents are here? How can you, Mom?" Rangg was surprised this time.

"Well, you don't know. Let's meet. I'll make you a drink first." Ms. Anis is moving.

"Bu-bu-boa. What is this dress wearing?" ask Rangga to panic.

"Wes iku wae. Wes!" Ms. Anis gave her thumbs up and headed for the kitchen.

Suddenly Rangga's heart was pounding.

"So Mario's boss told me to go home fast, said that someone wanted to see you. Lah turns out to be the one who wants to meet Alenna's parents. Duh, nervous about me!" Rangga continued to mutter. Baffled. Thumped.

Long enough Rangga paced, until then decided to immediately meet Alenna's parents.

"Well, is this what Nak Rangga's name is?" Mommy Monika has a great expression.

"Yeah. I'm Rangga," Rangga explained a little nervously.

Mommy Monika was very happy to see the stature of her future daughter-in-law. Reminds him of John in old times. Pretty handsome, and .. ahem, dashing.

"Em, please excuse me. The house is a mess" Rangga said. Actually he was confused what to say.

"Please drink the tea!"

Ms. Anis came at the right time with a tray and a drink cup. Rangga needs a savior. Rangga was really nervous at that time.

"Nak Rangga, meet you earlier. We're Alenna's parents." John started his chatter after sipping tea.

"Yeah. I am Rangga and this is my mother. Em, if that's Ardi and Ardan. My twin sister. Just got back from njai in musholah."

Rangga beckoned his two younger siblings to shake hands with John and Mommy Monika. After the twins shake hands, Rangga tells them to go in and finish PR.

"The Nak Rangga family is diligent in worship. It's great to see it" said John. His heart was steadily picking Rangga for Alenna.

"I'm sorry, sir, ma'am. Did my son make a mistake in the shophouse so that my father came here?" ask Bu Anis, who is worried that Rangga is not honest.

"Oh. Absolutely not, Mom. Rangga son, this is very honest work. The son is good." Mommy Monika's turn to praise.

"Actually, the two of us came here with the intention to greet and propose to Nak Rangga for our daughter, Alenna." John is on this topic.

"Kok kuwalek (reverse). Usually the men who propose," explained Bu Anis.

"Alenna has been married to Nak Rangga," said Mommy Monika, but immediately stopped by John.

"Sst. That's a very. Let me just say the word," whispered John.

The four pairs of eyes in the living room then laughed awkwardly after Mommy Monika who said Alenna had hunted to marry Rangga.

"Looky-so. Our daughter put her heart to Nak Rangga. Same with Nak Rangga. It would be better if it is equally clicked, immediately married. Instead of things happening that lead to the seeds of sin," explained John.

Anis looked at the son. Rangga was just grinning in front of his mother. Rangga was confused to express his unreasonable mood. There was confused, awkward, but wonderful pleasure.

"Ruby, Le? Do you want to accept this proposal?" asked Ms. Anis to Rangga.

"How you want, Mom." Rangga enthusiastically answered.

Ms. Anis immediately applauded the eel. Of the many girls introduced to the son, it was Alenna who was immediately chosen with ease.

"Jas. I bless you, Le." Bu Anis patted the son's shoulder gently.

"Alhamdulillaah," said Rangga gratefully.

"Jas. Let's talk about the wedding date." John was getting more enthusiastic.

That night's chat was quickly filled with the familiarity of two families. Mommy Monika and John are getting more steady after seeing the personality of Rangga. So did Ms. Anis, now she believes in her son.

At half-ten p.m., after Rangga talked further with his mother, Rangga called Alenna.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mas Rangga. Is Mommy the same father has met Mas Rangga? How-how? They are serious or just want usilin Mas Rangga?"

Just as the phone was picked up, Alenna asked. Makes Rangga chuckle.

"Patience first. Patience is becoming more and more beloved, you know."

"Whose darling? Rangga? Want dong!" spoiled Alenna.

"Huus. You are this, yes. He is loved by Him Who is Most Merciful. Hehe."

"Heeem. Doesn't Rangga love me?" ask Alenna.

"Heeem, how are you? Do you want to be loved or married?" Rangga made a choice.

"iii. Mas Rangga, do not ask again if that. I want both."

Fixes. Alenna-Rangga policy, already looks exactly like a dating person. Fortunately, they will soon be married.

"OKAY. I say ... aw!" Rangga got the jewel of the mother.

"Not LEGIT," said Ms. Anis, then passed away.

On the phone, Alenna had already called Rangga's name because suddenly there was no more chatter.

"Alenna, we continue to be friendly when it is legal, yes. Hehe. Got a jewel, here." Rangga was honest, and .. yaps, rather plain.

"Chihui. Must be sick. Judekah. Mas Rangga who diligently prayed his night, yes. Doain's all going well," Alenna hoped."

"God willing. Then I close first, yeah. Assalamu'alaikum."

The call ended with a word of gratitude by Rangga.

***

Jakarta, ten o'clock.

Jump on the bed like a child. Alenna reflexively just prancing around there. As if forgetting that he is a deputy manager who daily maintain the image with full authority.

"Alhamdulillaahafemore. I will soon marry Mas Rangga. From Mario-Anjani. Heeem's. I'll give word to Ranti ah. He must have been horrified."

Jemari Alenna nimble looking for Ranti's contact. It's in-VC, but no sign of it's welcome.

"Tumben not lifted?" Alenna.

Usually, want Alenna VC at any time must be lifted by Ranti. This is really unusual.

"Ups, forgot. Today he did not enter work because of Juno's meeting. Heem, maybe Ranti's been sleeping because of the soy sauce all day." Think Alenna. "Tomorrow for the happy news" he added.

Alenna decided to go to bed. The smile on his lips was unceasingly blotted. His heart also echoes gratitude. Beautiful incarnated. Happy bouncing. Alhamdulillaah says.
