The Preferred Priest Candidate

Bringing Zen to Nana

Night changes, day changes. Two days have passed. The events of that night had turned Nana into quiet and liked to lock herself in the room. Even sometimes there was a sound of crying from inside his room, when Mother asked what was the matter? Wh why? Nana just shook her head then passed and dodged.

Is Nana angry with her parents? Answer's no. Nana knew that sooner or later it would happen. Because from the beginning he had decided to accept a proposal from Zen. It's just that this is too soon, at the wrong time and in a way that doesn't suit his wishes.

Today Hafid came home, with his son and wife. Mother tells Adinda, Hafid's wife, to take Lyla to Nana.

" Mamak.this is what Lyla is looking for." Said Dinda while opening the door to Nana's room. Make the person who is lying on the bed to wake up. Adinda turned on Nana's room lamp, which looks still dim, even though outside the sun has raised its position.

" Saw..." Peek Lyla, while pointing her finger at Nana, when the room light is on. Like telling his mother that Nana was there.

" Here in !" Nana waved at Lyla to get closer.

Adinda went in first, letting her son walk himself closer to Nana. While he himself chose to open the window curtain that was on the right side of the bed. Allow light from outside to enter the room.

" Lyla. Get her foot off Mamak." Omel Adinda saw his son jumping on the bed in front of Nana.

" Mak akit (sick)?" Lyla who was able to say many words asked as she patted Nana's bandaged leg.

Although she has not been able to pronounce every word clearly, but Nana likes it the most when Lyla calls her "Mak" looks very adorable to her. Especially in his current state of heart, it was already such a satisfying entertainment.

Lyla likes Nana and vice versa. Therefore, Hafid and Adinda often leave Lyla at Nana boarding house, during a visit to Semarang. But actually it's just their reason, so they can walk alone without Lyla.

Mother chose the living room as a place to chat with Hafid, so that their voices would not be heard by Nana. Because what they are going to talk about is a serious thing that is certainly related to Nana.

Mother told me about the incident that night, which was like a tragedy in her house.

" What, Mas ?" Adinda heard her name mentioned as she walked out of Nana's room.

Hafid recounted what he had heard from Mother. The story is at once the answer to the gossip circulating in the village about Nana and Rif'an. I don't know where the source is but the gossip hasn't reached Mother's ears. But the reason for the rumors was obvious, probably because people didn't see Zen coming with his family that night. Making Rif'an who only provide services and delivery of goods become a suspect application to Nana.

" I'm worried that your sister's still like this, Fid."

" But Nana isn't angry, Mom?" Ask Adinda.

" If told to choose mending I see him angry than diem kayak gini, Din. Lha wong when her guest came home, she was invited to talk to me and even diem continued to enter the room, locked. Hence the same cardboard jewelry that I'm looking at."

" Padded cardboard? What's it all about, Mom?" Adinda was curious.

" I told you to open up. The cardboard is small like a TV cardboard, thin but heavy." After mentioning the features of the parcel decorated with a large ribbon from Zen, Mother recalled Rif'an's message to Nana. " Rif'an yes talk the same mbaknya, do not be slammed you know, Mommy." Mother imitates Rif'an's speech.

" Zen tell me to come here, Mom. Tell the responsibility to make Nana so like that. Hehe." Canda Adinda's. But taken seriously by Hafid."

" How about tonight, Mom? Zen didn't tell me to come here."

" No ! Later if your sister is angry with Zen how?"

Of course I didn't agree to that proposal. How about Nana to be rude to Zen. Which ends with the break-up of their relationship, and will most likely stretch even also sever the relationship of two parties.

" Said that Nana was angry rather than silent. So you know what she wants?" Hafid turned back Mother's words.

After weighing the good and bad effects. Mother agreed to the proposal. But with some notes. Including telling the problem that occurred first to Zen. And if Zen will not come, Hafid must not force.
