"Well, what a hockey! Haris's mother is also good the same I, but not all the way. That's why the lamp is called Ijo. Keep going, Phi, all the way down to pelaminan!" mini made me laugh.
Tonight as usual, Mini and I always exchanged stories about new things that we went through all day. I told a little about the figure of Mother Aulia that I met this afternoon in Mini. About how that woman treated me so well as her son's lover.
I grabbed my phone from the top of the bedside drawer, then opened a whatsapp message from an unknown number.
Anonymous : Assalamu'alaikum, Sophia. It's me, your future father-in-law. Save your Mother's number.
I drew a big smile, then replied to the message.
Sophia : Wa'alaikumsalam. Ready, Mother!
I also kept the number.
"Phi, is this IG lo how many followers?" tanya Mini was astonished to stare at her phone.
"Oh, that. Maybe Juna's followers join me to keep talking to me." My answer.
Mini pushed my head. "Look now, you have 5 thousand more followers. The turn! This is a drastic increase!"
"When you don't post anything, Phi. How can gini, anyway?" Mini astonished.
I just listened to Mini. I was still busy chatting with Juna's mother.
Mother of Aulia: Sophia, thanks for the brownies. How, you know Mommy likes the taste of chocolate as pandan?
Sophia: Tau dong, Mother. He....
Actually, when I bought the brownie cake, I asked Juna about his mother's favorite food. Juna said his mother likes pandan chocolate brownies with cheese toppings.
But, in the store it only provides a separate taste. So I bought a box of chocolate flavors and another box of pandan flavors with the same topping, which is cheese. I'm happy if Mother Aulia likes it.
"Phi, who are you chatting with, anyway? Not exciting lo! Talk again." Mini pout.
"Sorry-sorry. It's Juna's mother chat me." My answer.
"Plancession! It turns out that your future in-laws are." Mini turned the eyeball, then returned to busy with his phone.
Mother of Aulia: Sophia, can you meet Mother tomorrow at the boutique?
Sophia: What time is Mother? Sophia has an office tomorrow.
Mother of Aulia: You are busy, huh? Yes, another time. Mommy just wants to see the design picture of your clothes. He....
Looks like Juna's mom really wants to see my amateur dress design. Tomorrow I might be able to see him after work.
Sophia: No, Mother. Okay, tomorrow Sophia's coming home to the boutique.
Mother of Aulia: No pa-pa, right?
Sophia: No pa-pa, Mother....
Mother of Aulia: Okay. See you tommorow, Candidate Mantu.
I smiled reading Juna's mother's whatsapp message.
Sophia: See you, Mother.
Mother and I Aulia finished chatting. Juna had also contacted me, but he was busy with his college work at the moment. I told Juna to focus on that first.
I put my phone back in the drawer over there. I should have written at least one to two chapters today so that I will not be overtaken by the deadline again. But somehow tonight I have no mood to make up.
"Phi, I look around the many followers who are college kids. Si Dinda also follows you," Mini told me. Jeez, he's still analyzing my instagram account.
"Oh, huh? Isn't he a selebgram? Why did you follow my account?" I was amazed to see Mini.
Mini. "According to you, he's weird, isn't he? I suspect that he's doing the same deket as Juna."
Mini positioning comfortable sitting. I still keep looking at him. "In this way, yes. If I pay attention, right on the campus that Dinda always pretentious that same Juna."
I pursed my lips. "Gue thinks he likes Juna" I told Mini.
Mini has a confused face.
"First, I saw him kayak-flowering so Juna sang at the First Day Campus lo event at that time. Second, he asked me to let him bring lunch to his own June when Juna told me to bring lunch that day."
"Continue.., I noticed the way Dinda talked to Juna was also very sweet." I remember a flashback at Sunny Cafe back then.
At that time I promised to meet with Juna, but I don't know why Dinda was also there sitting at the table with Juna. Juna seems to tell Dinda to leave with a sentence that is less pleasant if heard, but Dinda seems to respond with a sweet and relaxed attitude.
"Well, that's right, Phi!" mini Chirps.
"Why what?" many confused.
Mini clucking. "Yes, you have to lose it!"
"This is yes, the Dinda can tease Juna in various ways. I'm not pumping. But, which guy would refuse a girl as quiet as Dinda? Yes if I look around the hell that Dinda is rada nyebelin, but whose name is a guy-" Mini cut his own sentence twirling shoulder to my head.
"What the hell lo, Ni! I'm sure Juna's not that guy. He just blatantly point if he does not like the same Dinda in front of me." I deny.
Mini chuckles. "Lo doesn't know if Dinda's the guy like that. Many college couples break up because of him. Dinda likes to fuck guys. The guy was already a darling, left behind. He's a caper to fame."
"Don't that dong, Ni...."
"Don't that how? The reality, really. Where many college girls like him again. Maybe they want his famous splash."
Mini doesn't like Dinda. In fact, Dinda used to be his high school classmate. Mini can talk like that because she probably knows. A class with Dinda for three years definitely makes Mini able to judge the girl.
"Lo don't need to hang out with that person, Phi. If he asks folback same lo peain aja. He asked for the same folback I kept end-to-end in Unfol. Why try??? Let's get some followers?" Mini shook her head with a confused expression of astonishment.

This afternoon after work I rushed to De Boutique with my black yamaha fino. Mother Aulia must have been waiting for me there.
Arriving at De Boutique...
I walked slowly to the cashier. "Excuse me, Ma'am. I am Sophia, I have promised to meet with Ms. Aulia this afternoon. Does he exist?" I asked the cashier.
"Oh, yes. Ms. Aulia had ordered that Ms. Sophia just go into her room. Let my mother deliver."
I smiled, then walked up to the boutique clerk.
"This is Ma'am room," said the friendly employee after we arrived in front of Mother Aulia's work room.
I smile. "Thank you, Ma'am."
"Yes, equally. Excuse me first." The clerk looked down thinly at me, then passed away.
I knocked slowly on the door of the room. I heard the voice of Mother Aulia telling me to enter from within.
I opened the door. "Assalamu'alaikum, Mother," I smiled peeking from the door that I opened a little.
"Oh, hi.... Wa'alaikum...." Reply Mother Aulia looked a little surprised by my arrival. "Let's go in, honey."
I walked over to Mother Aulia and kissed her hand.
"Sorry, Mother. Sophia had been spit-naked so do not bring anything here," said I a little feel bad to Juna's mother.
Mother Aulia smiled. "Yes not pa-pa. Relax, dong. Come on, let's sit."
I sat on the sofa in the room. Her mother Juna's work room looks free. The place is set very comfortably with some zen plants that give the impression of relaxation.
Mother Aulia gave me a bottle of aqua responsibility. He was seen shoveling a box of mineral water in his study.
"Sorry, Honey. Mother there is only water here," Mother Aulia told me.
I smile. "No pa-pa, Mother. Water is more healthy."
Mother Aulia laughed kindly at me.
"Waw, that's amazing! This is seriously what you did??? This is great, you!!!" Mother Aulia kept flipping through the sheets of my drawing paper.
I smiled looking at the response of the woman who gaped glitteringly at the design of my clothes.
Mother Aulia suddenly looked at me. "This..., did you do it too?"
I glanced at a picture that Mother Aulia opened. There, a pair of wedding dress designs I made first.
"That's...." I'm having trouble explaining it.
Mother Aulia smiled faintly raising both her eyebrows waiting for my description.
"It's just a picture of a fad, Mother."
"White but how good is it?" Mother Aulia smiled teasingly at me.
I'm laughing a little. "Mother can do it."
***
I'm still in that room with Juna's mom.
"Sophia, today you want to come with Mother again?"
"Where, Mother? Get Flowers?" many guessed.
Mother Aulia smiled. "Not.... Do you want to come with Mommy to meet your future father-in-law?"
I was a little surprised. Meet the future father of Metua? You mean Juna's dad?
"Dad Juna must be happy to see you," Mother Aulia told me.
"Ep.... Yes, Mother. Sophia wants to see the future father-in-law." I smile.
Mother Aulia laughed. "Okay, let's go now."
Aulia and I walked out of the room to the front yard of De Boutique.
***
On the front page of De Boutique...
"Mom Aulia? How are you, Mom?" a middle-aged woman suddenly approached us.
I'm appalled. That woman, Adi's mother. God, why do I have to see Aunt Sari again?
Mother Aulia smiled at Aunt Sari. "Alhamdulillah. Good news, Miss Sari."
Aunt Sari started looking at me. "Loh, you? Why are you here?"
"Bu Sari knows Sophia?" asked Mother Aulia looked surprised.
I should be surprised why Mother Aulia can be seen close to the woman, Aunt Sari.
Aunt Sari smiled at me. "I know you, Mom. She's the matre chick who took my son."
"Mature girl?" Mother Aulia started to look at me confused.
"Tante Sari isn't tired of accusing me?" I looked at the woman sick.
Adi's mother laughed a little. "I'm talking facts, yeah! You don't know yourself!"
I was speechless looking at Aunt Sari.
"Sorry, Miss Sari. Sophia's a good kid, you know. He's not like what Bu Sari said." Mother Aulia started to defend me.
Aunt Sari smiled sweetly at her mother Juna. "I'm not lying, Mom. Sophia likes to get a guy in the car. My son's in the same office he's just straight out of the box."
My tears started to fall hearing that. Which heartless person cares about people's hearts? That's how Aunt Sari thinks I am. He's so heartless.
I quickly rubbed the corners of my eyes.
"Bu Sari, I'm sorry, but Sophia is my future daughter-in-law. So you can't just talk politely to my future daughter-in-law!?" Mother Aulia stared firmly at her mother Adi.
Aunt Sari chuckles. "Oh my goodness, Mom. Girls like this don't pantes become the prospective daughter-in-law of Bu Aulia. He is not only matre and does not know himself, but his education is also lacking!" Again, Aunt Sari scoffs at me.
"Mother's child, Juna, should marry a woman like this? He should be able to get better, Mom," added Aunt Sari.
I just kept quiet trying to hold back my tears.
"Bu Sari, stop!!!" pekik Mother of Aulia. The woman's face looked furious. "I don't have time to listen to your unqualified talk."
Mother Aulia grabbed my left wrist. "Sophia, let's go!" Mother Aulia also took my hand into her white fortune car.
***
On the way to Juna's father's office...
I chose silence after Aunt Sari's insults. I occasionally wipe the corners of my eyes so that the clear liquid does not come out of there.
Feelings hurt. I'm heartbroken. Just imagining Aunt Sari insulting me that night was painful. And now, just now, I also have to listen to his insults.
"Sophia, don't take the heart of the foolish talk earlier," Mother Aulia told me.
I took a short breath and then threw it away. I tried to smile at Juna's mother. "Yes, Mother."
"You know, the person who seems educated is actually not as smart as he looks. That guy, he's a subscription to Mother's boutique."
I continued to listen to Mother Aulia.
"It seems that he likes to get along with rich people, perhaps those with high social status. From the beginning, I didn't like that guy. But how else, he is also a customer boutique Mother. You have to be professional, right?"
"Keep Mother, what if Mother lost a customer because of Mother earlier?" I'm starting to feel guilty.
Mother Aulia laughed. "Only that person, Mommy does not mind that he does not buy again at the boutique Mother. You still have a lot of customers...."
I was silent for a moment. "Mother, Sophia apologize, yes. Because maybe, Sophia wasn't the perfect girl for Juna."
Mother Aulia turned to me for a while, then continued to focus on her steering wheel. "Nobody is perfect in this world, Sophia. Juna, he's not perfect for you either."
Mother Aulia smiled. "In fact, God predestined the man and woman to be together. So that they may perfect each other."
"But Mother, Sophia is not the son of a rich man. Sophia also did not graduate from any university. Sophia's just an SMK's graduation." I'm down.
"Certain why? I also just graduated SMK," said Mother Aulia to my surprise.
Mother Aulia who impressed highly educated, it turns out only graduate vocational school? Then, how could he be this successful?
"My parents are less able to send their children high. I also don't mind not being able to go to college. I used to take sewing courses, and also some marketing seminars."
Mother Aulia kept telling stories.
"I am autodidacted. De Boutique, it can stand because of my hard work. Most importantly, keep trying and don't forget to pray" Mother Aulia explained to me.
I did not expect, it turns out that Juna's mother is that great. He can be a role model for people like me. Mother Aulia pointed out that efforts and prayers can be successful.
"Mother."
"Hm?" Mother Aulia turned to me for a moment.
I smile. "Sophia nge-fan with Mother."
Mother Aulia laughed. "Well, Mommy fans added dong?"
I'm laughing a little. Mother Aulia, the woman is not only a good personality. But him, he's really a great guy. [ ]
