The Unconsidered Bungsu

CHAPTER 31 The Matchmaking

Even though I deleted Arya's contact, there were some chats I had with her that I still kept. Tonight before I go to sleep I read it again.

This was the last chat about 2 weeks ago. I always started contacting him.

[Feel Arya

I don't know what else to tell you

The more days you're cut-throat with me, the less you think I exist

You know I love you, I can't forget you, but you don't want to treat me like someone special to you.

How do you feel about me, actually ?

If you don't love me, let me go from you. I won't bother you anymore, won't look for you again at the office or at home. 😔 ]

[Only one request, I ask for a keepsake from you in exchange if I miss you 🙏 😊 ]

He didn't reply at that time. On the night of the new day he sent a reply.

[my dear dear dear

I'm sorry if I can't be who you want to be.

I love you, but I'm afraid to admit it.

you're so good, even too good, I don't deserve you.

I am not a perfect man, I have nothing to make you happy

I'm not a rich man who can meet your needs

I'm willing to let you go, even if I love you so much ]

[about memories so I must have loved ]

[ ☺😍 ]

All the sentences he wrote in lowercase letters. Maybe he was in a hurry to not have time to push the letter button, but had time to drag emoji he he. I smiled to myself.

" Not sleeping Aira ? the door wasn't closed, "my dad scolded me at the door. I forgot to close the door.

" Behold, well, thank you for reminding me." I smiled at Dad. I closed the door and lay down. Wall clock shows at 11:40, I have not felt sleepy.

I understood the words Arya had written. He said love is like me but was afraid to admit it. What is he afraid of ? When it comes to material, I'm not a matre girl. Why did he never discuss this and just concluded it himself.

Or maybe this is just the reason. I closed my eyes with the shadow of Arya's face dancing in my eyes. Many times I was cut off but it was difficult. I finally fell asleep.

The next day I woke up a little bad. Maybe because I stayed up last night, just to think of someone I shouldn't have thought of.

At 8 and a half I just arrived at the shop. Customers are waiting for breakfast.

" Eeh the Beautiful just arrived ! " cock the top of Aaron who is enjoying his favorite fried chicken.

" Yes," I replied lightly. After putting the hurry bag I replaced mbak Sri serve the buyer. Madam Sri went into the kitchen to pick up the plate and spoon. Next continue frying bakwan and tempe flour.

After the buyers had started to decline I scooped up the rice and side dishes and then had breakfast. Mother had breakfast first while Mbak Sri still finished the dish laundry etc.

" Assalamualaikum," exclaimed a mother who entered the stall. He held a large sack that was almost full, and then placed it on the floor.

" Greetings waalaikum, eeh bu Sulastri how are you ? haven't been here in a long time." I welcomed the mother.

" Good Bu Wahyu, sorry never come here because the rice fields were flooded. So for a few months I didn't work on the rice fields, just take care of the garden."

The mother also told me while taking her luggage out of the sack. There is rice, banana, palm sugar, corn rice, chili and some vegetables.

Apparently, I've known Sulastri's mom for a long time. She's a customer mom about 3-4 years ago. I was in school so I never met him. Although not long ago but ma'am Sulastri very good and feel fit with mother. Once a month he sells his crops to the market and must have stopped by here to bring his crops to mother as well.

Ms. Sulastri looked at me and smiled.

" That's her sister mbak Nia ya Bu, "ask her to mom..

" Yes Bu Lastri, has graduated from High School almost 2 years, " replied the mother. " Year yesterday had worked at Taman Kanak but stopped because he wanted to help at the stall. " Mom added.

" Oh so, where is Nia now? " ask Ms. Sulastri again.

" Have been married for almost a year, but have not had a baby. Sorry I did not invite Miss Lastri because frankly I do not know the exact address. Mom hasn't stopped here in a long time either. "

" It turned out to be married. It's okay - what Miss Revelation I understand , understand my home is far in the countryside he he he he he ... " Mrs Sulastri chuckled.

" Aira just shut up, make hot coffee dong for Miss Lastri," my mother told me.

I also stopped my breakfast for a moment and made a drink for Sulastri ma'am aka Bu Lastri. The journey from the village is far away so it is good to drink hot coffee afterwards.

Mother brought rice and side dishes for Pastri then they chatted. I chose to go inside to continue my breakfast. Coincidentally, there are no buyers.

Madam Sri has finished washing dishes and wants breakfast. He sat next to me.

" Sir, don't you know the Lastri ? " manyu whispered to mbak Sri.

" Know not really, just know. He talks more often with his mother. Sometimes even for a long time, "he replied. He also told stories.

I saw many times that Sulastri stole a glance at me, then smiled at my mother. They seemed to be talking seriously and seemed happy.

" I'm up to Miss Revelation. " That's what I heard from Lastri.

I said slowly, "How does he worry about me continuing with that smile. "

" Maybe want to match her son together mbak Aira, after all you two are equally beautiful. Can't get his brother there is still his sister hi hi hi hi. "mbak Sri even medekku.

Pinched his stomach, he screamed stifled for fear to be heard from outside.

" I'm a fool, I'm a fool" I said.

Towards lunch, customers began to arrive. Ms. Sulastri stood up looking very happy.

After talking for a while with his mother he turned to me and said, "Sira's mother came home first yes, tomorrow come here again with Yudha. "

I just smiled and nodded. I stretched out my hand because my mother gestured through my eyes. Ms. Sulastri came out followed by mom.

" Thank you everyone, Bu Lastri" said the mother, handing the package to Sulastri's mother.

Maybe it's fried chicken and some 'blets' as a thank you to Sulastri.

After Sulastri's mom didn't say anything important to me. I also just calm down means that the lead mbak Sri is not proven.

_______

A month later Sulastri came again with his son Yudha. The guy is sweet black, but a little quiet. She greeted them warmly. I greet Ms. Sulastri and her son.

As usual, Miss Lastri brought her garden. Mother served them a meal, I made hot coffee for Lastri and tea for Yudha.

" Aira, that's Yudha being talked to ! still ashamed of him." mrs Sulastri asked me to accompany Yudha.

Guys are shy, which is really ! my inner word.

I was originally willing to go inside to undo the intention and sit back.

" Mrs Revelation, I'm sorry I have a need for a moment. Yudha let me talk to Aira first, " said Miss Lastri later. He called me Aira, without the frills of 'Mbak' like the other day.

" Oh yes please Miss Lastri, Aira also no longer have anything to do. There is already Sri. " Mom answered Miss Lastri and went into the kitchen.

Tumben's mom said that I no longer have a job. Usually if I take a short break I've been told this.

" Emm... Aira's been eating yet ?" josh opened the conversation.

" It's just now, if not yet mas Yudha want to practice ? " i tried to get her to joke around with a little laugh.

" Could come on ! What does Aira want to eat ? "

He offered me a finger, a chance. I haven't eaten in a restaurant in a long time.

" Well, if asked what dong dong dong pingin confused, I like to eat anything that is important good." I also laugh.

" What I like the most, I'll buy it ! " he said again. He looked at me waiting for an answer.

" Do you think Yudha knows the place ? I like grilled tilapia, grilled dumplings with fried shrimp flour. Keep meatballs ribs and oxtail soup also like.." I answered as soon as possible. Just kidding this.

" I don't know where to buy it. I am a village person who rarely goes to the city. If Aira wants to later I give her money to keep buying it myself, how ? "

Jesus ! This guy is too innocent or what the hell ? Time to buy a girl instead give money tell buy it yourself. The rules of eating together in a restaurant or cafe.

I also answered his question. Anyone who wants to eat with new people.

" No, I was just kidding.." Of course I refused his offer. If you follow the wishes of course this is the opportunity when again you can eat good for free. But it goes against my heart. I'm not a matre girl.

" It's okay to relax, it's for Aira ! " Yudha held out 2 pieces of 100 thousand money to me. I insisted not to accept it. I also know new today. Later he can - he can think of me as low. Easily enticed by money.

Yudha put the 200 grand money on the table. The mother in the kitchen seemed to hear my conversation with Yudha and came out.

" Take Aira is okay, just think of it as a sign of your introduction . Is it Yudha? " Mom persuaded me to accept it.

" No ah Buk, anyways I still exist if only 200 thousand money, "my chirps directly. " Just take the money, Yudha, I'm sorry." I pushed the money back in front of Yudha.

" I'm sorry Aira, next time maybe I can take you on the road. If now it's bad luck "he put the money back in the wallet.

Buyers started arriving because it was lunchtime. My mom and I served the buyer, never having a chat.

After 1 hour more Sulastri appeared. Maybe it was out charging money to some traders in the market. Mom invited to talk for a moment with Miss Lastri, not how long they were alone.

I feel like there's something between Mom and Miss Sulastri. Moreover, Yudha's attitude was also like that.

Hopefully Sri's guess is wrong. Do not let the arranged marriage that had been canceled continue again and I instead. Oh no !
