The Matchmaker Competition
CHAPTER 64



AYu POV


For some reason since the problems between Kak Juna, Dira and Delia made me dizzy. In the past, Juna often told about his feelings to Delia, about the letters he had received from Delia. The gifts that Delia had been sending, even though it was not from Delia but from Dira.


I caught Brother Juna liking the poetic words that Delia had been sending. I think I'd like to tell Brother Juna that it's not from Delia but Dira. All this time I felt sorry for Dira who was always told this by Delia and Eka. Want to fight me also lazy to look for a storm with them.


Is this the instinct of love for them? What Dira should love is the same brother Juna. And I catch that Kak Juna is just amazed Delia is not love. I admit Delia is prettier than Dira.


Kak Juna once said that what made him fall in love with Delia was a love poem. Jeez I'm more confused, because as far as I know Delia does not like poetry, it's Dira who likes literature.


I'm happy if one of them becomes sister Juna's wife.


But now the problem is that Brother Juna rejected Delia after a long time of secretly admiring each other. Why secretly? Because Delia is prohibited from dating or close to men.


This afternoon I went around the mall buying household necessities. Ever since Juna's sister left home, my mom asked me to come back to live with them.


Mas Tio my husband objected early on to interfering with mom and dad. Not because he is not free, but he has a job in Bandung. But after I persuaded him, he finally wanted to go back to Jakarta. Currently mas Tio works in one of the businesses owned by Mr. Shahab.


My eyes were fixed on the young girl who was choosing an item. With a knee-length dress and long curly hair. She looked beautiful but simple, my body moved closer to her. At least I got a bright spot about Kak Juna's whereabouts.


"Ra" I said to the woman in front of me.


"Father." He said hello.


"Only?" I asked still with high speed.


"No, same with Rian. He invited his nephew so now again in fun city." explained Dira.


"I want to talk, will you?"


Dira nodded signaling she accepted my invitation. We're looking for a small restaurant in the supermarket. There is usually a place to eat in the middle of the supermarket.


"What do you want to order?" Ask Dira.


"Follow you away." My answer.


"Mas, order juice two people yes, same fries two as well. Uh, what do you want to eat other than french fries."


"Udah is enough french fries. He ate at home."


"Ra," I started the core conversation.


"Yes, yu."


"Do you love Rian?"


Silent. No response from Dira. Honestly, I'm glad that my sister is the same Dira as Delia.


"Bye,"


"Haa. yes.." His face was empty.


"Ra, do you love Rian?" I ask again.


"Yes." Yeah." The way he answered.


"Is your old feeling gone?"


"The old feeling?"


"Yu, I have to catch up with Rian first. He must be nyariin."


"Ra, do you know where Brother Juna is? Please, Ra, my mom is sad for a few days when sister Juna left the house."


"Sorry, yu. I don't know where Brother Juna is. It's none of my business, anyway why not ask Delia. Didn't they get married."


Dira's voice rang out, for a lifetime since befriending Dira. Just this time I saw Dira's attitude like that. All this time Dira always polite when talking to others.


Is he having a problem with Rian?


It's impossible because he's just here with Rian. I don't know, I'm confused.


"Ra, Brother Juna and Delia have broken up. That happened a month ago. He left Delia, he left the house for whom? for your sake, Ra."


Dira still doesn't care what I say. He disappeared from my sight. Ah, what's wrong I asked Brother Juna to her. Because all I know is that Dira was last close to Juna's sister.


O Allah, Brother Juna, where are you?


"Sir Ayu?" A young woman in front of me.


"Rena?"


"Yes, sister this is Rena, Aunt Sandra's son."


Rena is my husband's cousin. Aunt Sandra and my mother-in-law are sister. So the fall of sister-in-law. Some time ago I heard Rena just finished her S2 in Bandung.


He was three years under me, but was able to finish S2 at a young age. While I'm only up to S1 in 4.5 years "Na, I want to see your S2 photo."


Rena took out her phone to show off her graduation photos. Some photos show how elegant my cousin-in-law graduated.


Till


I found a figure who is no stranger to graduation with Rena. I'm raising the picture it looks very clear who's on top of Rena.


"Na, can it be?" My sense of smell is becoming.


"Yes, brother."


"This is what's his name?"


"That's Delia, son of a plantation entrepreneur in Lembang. He moved to London, a bit strange, from London to Bandung. But it's none of my business."


So Delia did not finish in London but in Bandung. God, what is this lie? why didn't Delia continue her studies in London? Aarggghs!


We have been in contact with Delia for the past year. We did not know that Delia was already in Bandung. Now it's getting revealed.


"Rena, please send this photo to sister wa."


"Thank you, Rena. Brother go home first, yeah." My pamit.


I have to tell my mom and dad. They should know the truth.


Every lie at one point will be revealed and discover the truth. As the wise saying goes, the carcass that is hidden will be smelled as well. However, if a carcass has stung it will smell too.


As of now I just found out that Delia is not a lecture in London, but in Bandung. Why would he lie? Is he in trouble in London until he has to move to Bandung?


I swung my ass to sit for a moment. It feels as tight as I think after knowing the truth. I'm sure Mr. Shahab knows all this. They must have known about Delia being silent for a year.
