The Match in the Hand of Papi

Ask In anterin

“Pak, can not anterin El to the village head's office?” ask El.

Mr. Kamsuri looked at El. He stopped the chewing on his mouth. “Village head office?”

“This, you know, sir. El wants to contact his family.” Bu Yati explained El's wish.

“Mbak El remember his family number?” ask Mr. Kamsuri.

“I memorized my husband number, Sir,” replied El.

Mr. Kamsuri and Bu Yati were surprised to hear El's words. The couple threw each other a glance.

“You ... already have a husband, tho? ” ask Bu Yati.

“Already, Bu.”

“Mom think you are still a girl, you know,” said Bu Yati.

El smiled as he shook his head.

“Pak, tomorrow morning Anterin El to the village chief's office. Kasian her husband must be nyariin,” continued Bu Yati.

Mr. Kamsuri also agreed. El smile. The shadow could talk to the man she longed for already dancing in her mind. He hopes to tell Aryan soon, so that Aryan will pick him up soon.

“So that, Mom, the story,” said El after a long stretch told his story to Bu Yati.

“Oh, if it is the same, dong, like Mom,” replied Bu Yati.

“means?”

“Ya, Mother and Father also used to be in a match,” said Bu Yati.

“Who's a soul mate Mother's same Father?” El is curious about the couple's story.

“Uncle Mom. The father was Uncle,” replied Bu Yati.

“Neveryone has a great feeling, anyway, his Uncle Bu Yati. Give a soul mate with a man like Mr. Kamsuri. Old, hard anyway.” El inside.

“Eumm, I don't refuse, so?”

Bu Yati smiled and moved her head left and right. “Ngak.”

“Why, Mom? Mother is still young and beautiful. Same marriage time ... Uh!” El hurriedly closed his mouth so that his words were not obscene. Given that Bu Yati is young, while Mr. Kamsuri is old. Maybe Mr. Kamsuri's age has reached his fifties.

Bu Yati just chuckled at seeing El. “Because want to devote to Uncle. This mother is an orphan, since childhood in the care of Uncle. It's not good to refuse his request.”

El's heart was like a pinch. Contrary to Bu Yati who is willing to be betrothed to Pak Kamsuri for the sake of his dedication to his Uncle who has taken care of him since childhood, El actually refused when he was betrothed to Aryan.

Though El can clearly see the life of Mr. Kamsuri who is far from enough words. To eat alone must fight first in the forest, but Bu Yati sincerely wants to be betrothed and married to Mr. Kamsuri. Bu Yati also carries out her duties as a wife well.

And himself? Just imagine being embarrassed.

“Yeah God, is this a rebuke for me? Do I have to thank Papi for setting me up with such a perfect man, Brother Aryan.” Muttered El.

“Mom won't disappoint Uncle and Aunt. Maybe in this way, Mother can slightly repay the services of Uncle and Aunt for what has been done to Mother from small to large Mother.” Bu Yati continued.

Again, El felt insinuated by Bu Yati's words. For some reason, there are various feelings struggling in his chest to cause a sense of tightness. His eyes condensed, the clear fur was like it wanted to dart out.

“El ..” Bu Yati touched the shoulder of El who had been silent since. “You okay?”

“El feels guilty, Mom,” is down. Remembering his attitude towards Aryan.

“Why? Same who?” asked Bu Yati curiously.

“Same ... Brother Aryan. Husband El, Bu.” Reply El with a head that is down. Although in low light conditions, the look of sadness was still visible on El's face.

Bu Yati just sighed. No words came out of his mouth in response. He was waiting for El to be ready to talk again.

“During his wife, El never did his duty as a wife. All El needs is precisely Kak Aryan who takes care of. In fact, El has not given .. rights to Kak Aryan as husband.”

The word just glides free. El shamelessly and hesitantly opens his life to Bu Yati, a new person he has known for a few days.

“It's hard, Mom, when the person we were born with loved as Big Brother, Suddenly had to love him as Husband,” El.

“As long as you sincerely live it, accepting all this by the decree of God, it is easy that nothing is difficult. It is not too late to improve, El,” replied Bu Yati while rubbing El's arm.

“Know, Mom, if El hasn't been sincere,” grunt El. Her pretty face turned sullen.

Bu Yati chuckled at the change in El's face. “Remember. Our way of life has been determined since we were still in the womb. We just live it. Maybe this is your way of meeting a soul mate through your Papi. Your papi may also have a good reason for doing this. Accept it sincerely as a sign of your devotion as a child. Let's just say this is how you make her happy.”

Bu Yati said as if entering into the heart of El to the deepest crevice. So gentle and soothing, there is no judgmental tone there at all.

“From childhood, I don't know what it's like to have a Mom. In my life, I only knew Papi, Brother Aryan, and the assistants at home. Maybe it's like having a mother. We can tell a lot about what we are going through. Thanks, yes, Mom, for everything.” El clasped Bu Yati's hand with teary eyes.

“Thank you for what, anyway, El. I didn't do anything for you.”

“Without Mom and Dad, maybe El died eating a tiger that night.” El chuckles at the events of that night where he struggles to escape from Zack and his plot.

“Mother and Father are only helping as much as they can, El,” replied Bu Yati.

“Bu ..”.

“Iya, El,” replied Bu Yati.

“El can hug?”

Without answering Bu Yati directly shifted his body and grabbed El's body. Hugged him tightly while rubbing El's back. Provides comfort and channeling a little strength to El.

“Maybe like this it feels in the hug by Mother.” El leaned his head on Bu Yati's shoulder, signifying how weak he was right now.

“Ya, El. You should take a break, so that tomorrow we can hurry to the village chief's office and contact your husband. Your husband must be very anxious.”

“Iya, Mom. Thanks a lot, yes, Mom. I'm very good at the same, El.”

“Awas, you know, El. Once again say thank you for the umbrella,” chirps Bu Yati who was greeted with laughter El.
