The Story of Pilu A Village Flower
#32. Sari in matchmaking
There was a private car parked in front of Sari's house. Sari who was weaving ulos in front of the porch of the house, was confused and astonished by a figure of an adult man who had white hair, but because the man was a man who had a position, he was confused, his appearance did not indicate that the adult man was old and aged.
Another case with people who live in the village of a 37-year-old man, can look old, or look like 45 years old, because the skin has often been exposed to the sun is very stinging when going to the rice field or to the field.
Because indeed the daily life of people who live in the village is to rely on living from farming and farming.
The guest who came to visit the house Sari, his age which seemed to be about 50 years, did not seem from his appearance because, his skin was pure white, and his dressed appearance was quite fashionable, and his appearance was quite fashionable, because it uses long-sleeved shirts and black trousers and wears pantofel shoes, quite neat and authoritative, it seems to come from the city.
Down and out of the black car, followed by the gray adult woman, but still looks fashionable, because wearing a babydoll batik suit and wearing a skirt under the knee, is fashionable, so fashionable, when compared to the appearance of the woman living in the village.
Women in the village tend not to pay attention to her appearance, everyday appearance is just ordinary, even the face is almost never smeared with powder and lipstick. If you go to a party or worship, then the appearance does not look like usual, it is just that.
It's a shame if you go to the fields or down to decorate yourself, after all, it will also be dirty and dirty, after entering the rice fields and struggling with the land.
The grown man greeted Sari" Good morning son, do you know Alex's house", the grown man asked.
"Good morning sir, Alex?", said Sari, but still confused, whether Alex asked the adult man was Alex Sari's father or another Alex. Sari tries to ask and makes it clear who Alex is.
"Alex who means father, because the father is also named Alex" said Sari asked again so that no one is wrong.
"Alex, whose wife is dead, died yesterday in the lake, due to an accident, his boarded ship caught fire and sank in the lake. Alex was my cousin's brother, my mother was brother-in-law with her father's father" the man explained.
"That's right, I was Alex's first child, but now I'm not home, please come in and call me home", said Sari while allowing her guests to enter the house.
"Oh you are Sari right?", the grown man asked enthusiastically.
"Yes right, I am Sari sir", said Sari confused.
"When your mother died, I came, maybe you didn't know me, and indeed I was still a bit thin, and you were a little girl, too, maybe at that time you were in 3rd grade, right?", said the adult man reminded Sari.
"Yes, when my mother died, I was in 3rd grade" said Sari, confirming the adult's speech.
"Now you are big, beautiful too, very suitable for my child" said the man with a smiley face.
Sari feels uncomfortable said to be very suitable for my child, like there is a scent in the matchmaking, muttered Sari in the heart. Buru hunts Sari if you leave the adult man, intending to call Alex from the stall because there are guests.
"Om, if you'll excuse me for a minute, yes, to call the father of the shop" said Sari, before Sari went to call Alex first Sari called her sister Sita, to serve sweet tea to guests who are in the living room.

"Sita, please make 2 cups of sweet tea, for the guest in the living room at this time, I will call the father of the stall", Sari ordered to Sita.
"Okay, sister, who is our guest, brother, do you know them?", asked Sita curiously.
Sita also mangosteen mangosteen "Well what business do they brother?", asked Sita wanted to know.
"Where I know what they want, I'm going to go call dad, afraid the guest is waiting a long time" said Sari as she passed leaving Sita to then go to the stall to call Alex.

From a distance Sari noticed Alex's figure was really hanging out in the stall. It turns out that Alex was cool playing chess while drinking coffee with his friends. Sari also came to approach Alex "Dad, at home there are guests, he said the father's cousin, his mother was brother and sister with grandfather", said Sari introduced guests who were at his house.
Alex may already know and know what Sari means, quickly Alex excuses his friend and permission to return home.
After Sari brought Alex home, the door was opened, the adult man immediately stood up to shake Alex's hand and hugged him tightly.
"Hello bang, healthy brother", said the adult man greeted while shaking Alex's hand and introducing his wife to Alex.
"Halo Benhard, you're healthy" Alex said with a happy smile.
"Look old now" Benhard joked
"How not to look old, a day just staying up late and down, sunburned, you are good, work in the office in a cool room" said Alex mendelah.
"Oh, this brother is there, his words" Benhard said with a smile.
"Oh yeah, your tumben came here, what's your business" asked Alex curiously.
Sari soon leaves Benhard and his wife, as Sari feels alien to Alex's guests, and Sari feels there is also no interest in their conversation.
"Look, I intended to match Sari with my son Juan, my son because he was too busy working, finally forgot to find a mate for him, he said, and Juan did not mind if I am looking for a mate for him", said Benhard clarified the intention of his arrival home.
"It was very good, but I couldn't impose my will on Sari, it all depends on Sari herself" Alex said.
"Yes, but it's good that they know each other, how to know they like it, and don't mind being paired" said Benhard.
Sari can still hear a conversation between Alex and Benhard, apparently wanting to match Sari with her son Benhard.
Sari tries to remember who Benhard really is. Saripun already knows who this Benhard and his son. 'Who yes, the name of the child', Sari murmured in her heart, and tried to remember, oh yes Freddy, the Freddy I remember now, Sari murmured in her heart.
Freddy is 3 years old above Sari, Sari is good friends with Freddy. But Freddy was already considered Sari as Brother, because indeed Sari did not have a brother.
Freddy is a protector for Sari in childhood, Sari is a tomboy who is always friends with men, when fighting with other friends, Sari always complains to Freddy.
'I do not want to be betrothed to Freddy, I do not have feelings of love or like him, I already consider Freddy as the figure of the brother', muttered Sari in the heart.
