The Matchmaker Competition
CHAPTER 105



Housing Anggut area, Bengkulu city.


Dira stood in front of the door of the house he was in at the moment. The air that afternoon was cool, his butt was rested on a rattan chair. Still wearing after the t-shirt, she enjoys the afternoon air in the downtown housing. Currently he is staying in the Anggut area, a complex in the middle of the city that became a culinary icon of Bengkulu city. Not far from his house there is a magnificent mosque which is an icon of Bengkulu city.


The body goes inside. It's his second day in Bengkulu City. The air is pretty hot. Even for Dira it is hotter than Jakarta. His feet stepped towards the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and gulped down a bottle of mineral water.


"It's only been a day here that the innate thirst continues." grumbled Dira.


Dira is looking for his mother and two brothers who were seen from earlier. For a moment he remembered his mother's message, if he wanted to see the preparation of the event at the Nala hotel. Dira shook his head, cursing his Opa. According to him, opa should not use birthday events. Moreover, the age of opa includes cartilage.


Opa throws a night party with treats mingling with nature. Dira thinks his opa is looking for a disease. The age of opa prone, what else is the outdoor show. Dira imagines his opa passing out from the cold. But he was the shadow.


"It's terrible that I used to pray for sick opa." again he went back to be self-defeating.


In front of his house were some mothers who had just returned from their activities. Because opa house is facing the house of the residents. Dira remembers opa always saying that he never made a house in elite housing. Opa likes a rustic atmosphere or mingles with ordinary people. Even though he has been successful.


"With that, we can see life from below. It makes us not feel high. From here we can learn to be grateful, try if opa take in big housing, no activity, no communication, and we can not learn." That's what Dira remembers from Opa's words.


Dira performing prayers istikharah. Begging the authorities to be guided about two choices, between his chosen Opa man and Arjuna.


Istikharah prayer is one of the sunah prayers that aims to ask for Allah SWT guidance. Especially, when dealing with heavy and dubious choices.can be done at any time, both day and night. But the prayer of Istikharah should not be done at 3 specific times, which is when the sun rises or is in the middle or is setting


Allaahumma inni astakhiiruka bi’ilm wa astaqdiruka biqudratika wa as aluka min fadlikal ‘azimi fa innaka taqdiru wa laa aqdiru wa laa a’lamu wa anta ‘allaamul guyuub.”


God, if he is the best for me. Hopefully he is a sholeh man. Dedicated to his father. Always crying because of You Yes Robb and good at taking care of yourself with do’a-do.


Dira prepares himself for the most thrilling night, the night that determines who his future man is. Is Arjuna or may be Opa's man of choice. His eyes glanced at his dress, there was a message from his mother. In the message said that soon there is a MUA coming. Dira breathed a heavy sigh. Even though he can groom himself does not need to use all MUA.


"There will be a MUA coming to the house. She'll dress you and Vira." Mama Dewi's message.


"Vira's not home, ma." replied Dira.


"His MUA came with Vira, baby. Kan Vira was accompanying mom at the opa event location."


"OOO, MAN,.. No need for MUA, ma. Dira can dance alone." replied Dira.


There was no reply from the Goddess Mother. Dira also went into the bathroom.


After you finish cleaning. Dira checked the outside area, who knows the fairies have arrived. But it hasn't come yet. In the end Dira returned to the room to check which clothes to use. His smile expands when there are clothes that he has ever worn in the wedding reception Eka.


According to the information, the show will start at 19:00. Dira heard the chanting of Adhan Magrib immediately rushed to carry out his duties as a Muslim. Because the show is night, then Dira perform plural prayers. Mixing magrib and isya prayers. At least his heart was a little calm. Because they have fulfilled their obligations.


Dira was already sitting in front of her room dressing table. For a moment he got a message that MUA was otw with Vira. Dira smiled reading her mother's message. Because she was currently already polishing her face with her own makeup. No need to wear MUA, Dira wants to be himself in front of the man of his choice Opa, as well as in front of Arjuna.


Dira pegs himself in front of the glass. After polishing her own face she looked so beautiful with her natural make up. That's how Dira is, she's always trying to do things by herself. The dress she wore revealed an aura of simplicity, Dira opened a jewelry box that she said belonged to her young mother. Mama said, she gave the jewelry because her age no longer fits. Mama has also reduced the use of jewelry at the age of 47.


A necklace also beautifies her neck. Makes his aura more radiant. For a moment his eyes looked at the ring embedded in his finger. Long time he was silent.


"What should I do, Juna? I received your ring but also responded to opa's request. If the one who came to propose was you, I would have accepted. But even when I can't be firm with all this."


"Assalamualaikum," a greeting from outside.


Dira immediately moved from the room and opened the outside door. Vira with two women standing at the door.


"It's ayuk-nyo. She's beautiful, I don't need nian to give it."


(This is her older sister, already this beautiful. Don't worry anymore).


Note: Ayuk in Bengkulu means Sister.


"It's okay, ma'am. Rias is just me. You see, he was a lazy man, so let's be quick to be horrified." replied Dira.


Moments later Dira and Vira are ready. They look beautiful like stars. Although Vira is physically more beautiful than Dira. Vira's white skin looks harmonious with the selection of her makeup. Although according to Dira Dandan Vira instead looks more mature than her age.


While Dira whose skin is yellow Langsat, still elegant even with natural makeup.


"Miss Dira and Miss Savira, I'm Joko who was assigned to deliver you to the venue."


Dira and Vira finally get into the car. The car that will take them to an inn in front of the long beach.


"Mama, why don't you go home?" ask Dira.


"Mama is even getting ready at the place of om Johan, brother. Mama and her mother Kak Juna even made an appointment to the salon together." Vira story.


"Ih, cheating.mama sent us MUA but instead went to the salon. Why don't you take us." said Dira.


"But--" Dira did not continue his speech.


I know brother, if brother is upset about brother Arjuna.


If only Dira knew that the man was Arjuna.


Clique


Arjuna Bramantyo was staring at himself in front of the glass. His burly body looked handsome wearing a black suit with a light blue shirt. A few times I stuck myself in front of the glass. Breath sounds in his mouth. I try to smile every now and then to see what happens in a moment.


"Mama's son is very handsome." praised the mother.


"Thank you, ma."


"You nervous, son?" ask her mother while confirming her son's suit.


"Come,ma. If you say you're nervous, ma. Just ..."


"What, son? about Dira again. You must be sincere, son. Jeng Dewi said Dira will also meet her future husband today."


"I proposed to Dira, ma. Dira accepted my proposal. That proves that Dira rejected the candidate from his family. And that's what I'm fighting for now. I'm ready to be fired by Mr. Burhan if he doesn't accept my refusal" Juna said, staring at his mother.


Juna's mother only told her son. He warned that every decision has consequences. If Juna chooses Dira means Juna must also accept the worst consequences. Maybe it could be fired. It could also be that Mr. Burhan did not invite her husband to work together.


"Ma, Juna, that's the car already coming. You guys even huddled around." call papa Johan.


"Mama and papa to the car first. Juna still wants to be ready." The two left their eldest son still in the room.


Juna came out of his room. Since both of his parents came to the inn Juna moved to one of Burhan's houses. It is located in the fish market area. Not far from Marlborough Fort. The sea and beach destination is indeed an icon of Bengkulu city. Where will tread the road, there must meet the beach and sea. Geographically, Bengkulu province is indeed how many among the seascapes.


Juna himself has not been involved in the office program since his parents came. He also understood that some of his friends still looked at him cynically. Accusing himself of matre or all sorts of negative thoughts. Juna did not care about it as long as it was not as alleged.


Hopefully this can be overcome. I'm tired of being an office gossip.


The car takes them to their destination. Juna and his parents got out of the car. The party atmosphere looks very quiet. Juna looked around, there were some people he did not recognize. The man separated himself from his parents.


"You guys came too." Sapa opa Han while welcoming her guests at her 75th birthday party. Sir led Juna and his family into a place. Juna was shocked to see the atmosphere of not many people.


"Don't you say the party's outdoor?" ask Juna.


"It was, yes, but said one friend from BMKG certainly will rain soon. So we chose indoor." explained Mr. Burhan.


"So?"


"Let's go in first, someone's waiting for you." Mr. Burhan dragged Juna into the private room.


Juna walked into a room. Strangely in front of the door of the private room even there is a small street sprinkled with red roses. The man followed the roses. Before entering Juna even had time to pray so that he could launch the action.


Chequek!


A woman was standing in a room. The woman was still engrossed in looking at the accessories stuck on the wall. The bridal chamber tub of the room was conjured with all the arrangements of roses.


"Miss Utami," the voice of greeting was clearly heard.


Dira turned around when he heard the greeting. Both of them were surprised to know who the candidate had been in the reserves. Not only Dira, Juna also gave the same reaction.


"So! we're getting them!" sahut both in unison.
