The Toga Rahayu

68

By the time magrib I had arrived in the city where I lived, I saw my mother and father who were preparing to pick me up at the bus stop. I am an adult and can even be said to be an old virgin if people say in the village where I live but mother and father slalu treat me like a child. They'd be very worried if I left and didn't get home on time. They were also enthusiastic to pick up at the bus stop even though I could ride my own ojek.

“Only alone son? Where to Reno?”. Mother of the pond fretting looking for the whereabouts of Reno mas, hope big I bring him home because I came alone to mother and father to Malang there is business work.

“Iya bu alone, who else will you be?”. I answered the disappointed mother.

“Mom think you're going home with Rano, didn't you guys end up working with”.

“We've broken up buk”. I answered my mother without daring to look at them.

“What? Breaking up? Why break up?”. My mother and father answered at the same time. Disappointment was on their faces. I heard heavy breathing.

“Do you guys fight?”.

“Ah no bu, Rahayu wrong”. Answer me a little more calmly.

“Fighting and differences of opinion in the relationship can already son, you are both adults not children anymore. Not the time to mess up and break up. What should not be talked back if there is a problem that must be resolved then solve it immediately”.

“No ma'am, I don't want to make Reno's mas even more hurt with our relationship. Mas Reno a good man deserves a woman who is much better than me. I rest first ya bu”. I rushed to the room to change clothes and rest for a while after getting tired on the way.

“Hay mas I have arrived from before magrib was”. I sent a message to Andika to tell her that I have reached home, like I promised her to tell me.

At nine o'clock in the night I sent a message back to Andika because my message was not answered by her.

“Assalamualaikum mas”.

An hour later I sent a message back to Andika.

“Mas”.give me to him and I send the message Wa.

Time has gone by at night but there have been no replies to messages from Dika mas. Even the message I sent only tick one sign that has not entered the message.

“Maybe mas Dika is busy”.I said in my heart and then continued to sleep because it was very tired once a day traveling around with Dika mas in the Mall.

“Mbak wake up nobody's looking for you”. My body was shaken slowly by my youngest brother.

“Mbak no one looking tuh in front, the person is handsome once surely mbak Rahayu very happy to see him”.

“Who is deck?”. I asked by collecting all my life because I just woke up. I woke up a little later than usual mumpung not praying and my body was very tired.

The first thing that came to my mind was Andika's starch, because from yesterday Dika wanted to meet my parents.

“Why not tell you first if you want to come here”. I said in my heart cheering.

I quickly got up from my resting place quickly towards the bathroom. Being too excited made me not take the time to take a shower. I can't wait to meet Andika. I just wash my face and brush my teeth.

“His pleasure to meet the adoration of the heart".

Tempted mother to me.

"It's so exciting to dance".

“Ah mother I just wear lipstick a little so as not to look pale”.

"So how Mom am I beautiful?". I asked my mother with enthusiasm and happiness.

Not finished saying the words I've run forward.

Blouses

My cheeks flushed impatiently to meet him. Apparently not answering Wa's message was immediately sampled to the house. I took a long breath and exhaled it.

Relax Rahayu relax.

Mas Andika's.

I was nervous that my mother and father were shocked when they were going to introduce Dika mas as my new lover while my relationship with Reno mas had just run aground.

I sauntered into the living room with a flowery heart to meet the adoration of heart.

Arriving in the living room I saw a man talking to his father. At first glance they look like obrol they look very cool.

“Wah it turns out the father also welcome the same mas Dika, good deh I do not have to explain at length to the father and mother”. I said in my heart as I headed to the living room.

“Wah this he who was waiting for has come, Tumben woke up bad luck seems tired. Usually before dawn we wake up. Yu look who came”.

He seemed happy that morning to welcome the man.

The man turned his face away. And..

I was disappointed because it was not Andika who came to visit me. Instantly the curvature of the smile on my lips turned down”.

“Rahayu”. Mas Reno stood up to me who was silently staring.

Mas Reno why did you come here?.

Why is his face so tangled?.

I forgot it must be because of me.

“Lo mas Reno why come here?”. I asked in wonder.

“You continue to chat first yes, mom and dad want to go to the rice fields first there are some workers who are working on rice fields today”. Mother and father passed by leaving us both intentionally to give us space to solve the problem just the two.

I don't dare look at Reno's face, I'm sure Reno read my Wa message last night. I'm too cowardly to solve this problem. I sat in the chair opposite Reno and got ready to give an excuse to Reno about Waku's message yesterday.

“Please sit down, I want to make a drink first”. I said to Reno, please sit down.

“No need to bother Yu”, Mas Reno quickly sat in front of me. I went to the kitchen to make a drink.

Intentionally I linger when making drinks, I am confused to start where to explain to Mas Reno about my decision.

“Yu not yet?”. Shouted Reno mas in a raspy tone calling out to me because it felt too long for the size of making tea.

“Oh yes mas”. I quickly headed to the living room with two glasses of sweet tea.

We sat facing each other separately from the table. Mas Reno looked at me fixedly and very sharply. His face reflected his heart looking extremely fragile and helpless.

“Yu I've read your message. Can you tell me the reason why you intend to end our relationship?”.

His eyes were reddening Reno's voice was shaking saying the question to me.
