The Love Story of Haifa

14. Introgated By Mother Deswita

Haifa remained silent she did not want to choose a bag according to Vishnu's orders.

“Mas home, yuk! Tomorrow Mas will have to work later Mas soy sauce if it lingers here,” said Haifa.

Vishnu sighed.

“Why do you refuse to buy a bag?” ask Vishnu.

“Haifa doesn't need bags, Mas. Haifa still has bags that Haifa can wear,” Haifa replied.

“But that's your parents' handbag. Mas also want to buy you a bag,” said Vishnu.

“Mas don't squander money just for Haifa! Better to save it for the future. For the son and wife of Mas Vishnu,” exclaimed Haifa.

Vishnu smiled as he understood Haifa's intentions.

“Let's just relax, for they've already prepared. If to buy a bag is already a ration for you. Beautiful sister Mas.” Vishnu squeezed Haifa's nose.

Haifa immediately pouted as Vishnu squeezed his nose.

“Sick, Mas,” said Haifa held her nose reddened by being squeezed by Vishnu.

“The team is not obedient," said Vishnu.

“Ya already, Haifa select the bag. But it's cheap, yes" Haifa said.

Vishnu smiled, so that in this place there will be no cheap bags. Unless there's a flaw.

“Mbak no bag is seventy-five percent discount, no?” haifa asked the dept store clerk.

“If seventy-five percent discount does not exist, Ma'am,” replied the Officer.

Haifa silently heard the employee's reply.

“Mas no cheap bags. Let's go somewhere else, yuk!” haifa.

“In other places the bag is more expensive. The price can be above ten million,” replied Vishnu.

“Mahal very, the price anyway? What material is it made of?” haifa grousers.

Inevitably Haifa chose a bag in that place. After the muter-muter finally Haifa got also a bag that suits him. But when seen the price Haifa was immediately shocked to see the price of her bag. Vishnu approached Haifa.

“Why?” ask Vishnu.

“The price is expensive, Mas,” Haifa replied while showing the price attached to the bag label.

“Nothing. Take it if you like. Take another bag for the party,” Vishnu said.

“For what party bag? Haifa never went to a party,” Haifa said.

“You will often accompany Mas go to the party. Find a party bag that suits your taste, do not bag a party like mothers,” said Vishnu.

“Iya.” Haifa went back to look for the bag that Vishnu had ordered.

Finally Haifa got a bag that was to her liking. Haifa gave both bags to the clerk of the store.

After Vishnu paid for Haifa's groceries, they returned home.

Vishnu drove his car quietly. The sky was getting dark as it began to change from day to night. While Haifa is fun to enjoy the atmosphere of Jakarta in the afternoon.

“Haifa,” call Vishnu.

Haifa turned towards Vishnu.

“Ya, Mas,” Haifa replied.

“Mas noticed earlier while watching the movie why do you slightly close your eyes and cover your eyes?” vishnu asked while looking at Haifa for a moment.

“Oh.it, because there is a mature scene. Haifa and Dodi are banned from watching films with scenes of their adult life. Every adult scene is always told to close your eyes,” Haifa replied.

Hearing Haifa's words, Vishnu turned to Haifa.

“Seriously? Can't be at all?” ask Vishnu.

“He em,” Haifa replied while nodding.

“Waw..if Dodi is banned Mas can still understand because Dodi is a teenager. But you have entered adulthood,” said Vishnu.

“Kata Mamah and Bapak such scenes can only be done by husband and wife. It should not be done with those who are not mahramnya,” Haifa replied.

“Good also way your parents educate children. Rarely in an era like today there are old people who are still so attentive to their children,” said Vishnu.

Vishnu remembered his sister Wira. Wira has been living abroad for a long time, graduated from Wira High School straight to college in America. During study abroad the life of Wira is very free but can still be controlled. Yeah, just changing girlfriends is nothing more than that. But after graduating S2 and starting to work his free life little by little began to grow like a Don Juan. So as to make both parents massage the chest with the behavior of the Hero.

“Astagfirullahaladzim,” said Vishnu while rubbing his face rough.

Haifa turned to Vishnu.

“Why Mas?” ask Haifa.

“Nothing,” replied Vishnu.

Vishnu was reluctant to tell Haifa because after all Vishnu would not open his own brother's disgrace in front of Haifa. Let it be the secret of Vishnu's family.

Haifa was helping Bi Nani cook in the kitchen, but suddenly Mother Deswita called out to her.

Haifa looked over to Bi Nani.

“Sana just follow. Don't be afraid,” said Bi Nani.

Haifa left the kitchen and approached Deswita's mother who was in Mr. Broto's office. Deswita's mother was sitting on the sofa in the workspace.

“Close door! I don't want anyone to hear our talk,” said Ms. Deswita.

Haifa closed the door

“Sit!” mother Deswita said.

Haifa was sitting at the end of the sofa looking down as if she would be interrogated by Mother Deswita.

“What do you think of my son Vishnu?” ask Deswita's mother.

Haifa raised her head and looked at Mother Deswita.

“Means mother?” ask Haifa.

“I mean your views on my son,” replied Ms. Deswita.

“Mas Vishnu is good and friendly,” Haifa replied.

“Of course he is kind and friendly. I educated her well,” said Ms. Deswita.

“But that's not the answer I want. But your view as a woman towards my son is a boy,” said Ms. Deswita with anxiety.

Haifa did not answer Mother Deswita's question, she just kept quiet while looking down.

“Come answer! Why just shut up?" exclaim Mother Deswita.

“I don't know what to answer,” great-grandson Haifa.

“You will know the purpose of Bi Nani brought you here,” said Ibu Deswita.

Haifa nodded.

“If you know, what is the purpose of Bi Nani taking you to Jakarta?” ask Deswita's mother.

“To be introduced to Mas Vishnu,” Haifa replied in a soft voice.

“What are you introducing to Vishnu?” ask Deswita's mother.

“To be his future wife,” Haifa replied.

“Well! Now I ask after getting acquainted and you are often together, you consider Vishnu as what?” ask Deswita's mother.

“As sister,” Haifa replied.

“Only as a sister? No more?” ask Deswita's mother.

Haifa silently did not answer. He just looked down.

“This means your silence because you like my child or you don't like my child?” ask Deswita's mother.

Haifa just shut up. Her tears started to drip.

“Why are you crying?” asked Deswita's mother with anxiety.

It is rather difficult to know Haifa's heart.

“I'm sorry, Mom. I am just a village education I just graduated High School. It is not appropriate for me to put my heart on Mas Vishnu,” Haifa replied in tears.

“Haifa, I was looking for a daughter-in-law for my son Vishnu. Not looking for a business partner for Wisnu,” said Ibu Deswita.

“Which is now needed by Vishnu is a sholeha woman who wants to accompany him faithfully and take care of him well,” said Ibu Deswita again.

“If about education that's the umpteenth number. After all, education can still be pursued if you are married later,” said Ms. Deswita.

Haifa looked at Mother Deswita sparklingly as she wiped her tears with the back of her palm.

“I can go to college, Mom?” ask Haifa.

“Of course you can. But with the permission of Vishnu. May or not you go to college only Vishnu has the right to determine,” replied Ibu Deswita.

“So you have a heart with my son?” ask Deswita's mother.

Haifa replied with a nod of her head.

“If Vishnu should not be asked how he feels about you. Looks really from the items he bought for you,” said Ms. Deswita.

Haifa was immediately shocked to hear Mother Deswita's words.

“Mother knows?” ask Haifa.

“Of course I know. I can distinguish which new items are used and which items have been used often,” replied Ibu Deswita.

“Mas Vishnu forced me, Ma'am,” said Haifa.

“It's okay. That is your fortune for being a special person in his heart,” said Ibu Deswita.

Now Mother Deswita can breathe a sigh of relief, finally she can find a suitable wife for Vishnu.

“Now wash your face! Soon you will be delivering food to the office. Do not let Vishnu see your face as swollen from crying. Later Vishnu thought I had scolded you,” said Ms. Deswita.

“Good, Bu.” Haifa came out of the study room and Mr. Broto went to the bathroom to wash his face.
