The Unconsidered Bungsu

CHAPTER 34 Backward Regularly

Since the arrival of Sulastri and Yudha at that time, some days Yudha has never appeared again. If Miss Lastri himself is only a month or two months to stop by. That's why I still haven't wondered.

Only I felt that Yudha might be offended because I refused her invitation. He never sent a message either. Though previously in 2 days must have contacted me just asking for news.

And after almost a month she had not been seen, and she began to suspect.

"Si Yudha, have you never been here, Ra ? usually a week at most it's gonna show up."

" Uhuk ! " I was having breakfast and almost choked with my mother's words. Not just lazy to argue if later the mother asks questions.

I rush to drink water and then I answer, "Maybe more orders Buk, just understand the customers are houses to eat in the city. Of course he's got to drive her here and there. "

My mother heard my answer.

But then mom asked again.

" But you didn't offend him yesterday ? "

" Yes, ma'am, "my answer is short. I finished my breakfast and went into the kitchen to wash my hands. Worried if mom keeps asking about Yudha. And sure enough after I got in, I didn't ask anymore.

But I can't breathe easy yet. In the afternoon when folding the mukena finished praying bu Sulastri came.Unlike the previous days, this time bu Lastri did not bring souvenirs of the garden. Just bring a few packs of light snacks.

" Why alone Miss Lastri, not delivered nak Yudha? " ask mommy for pleasantries.

" Yudha is busy, lots of catfish orders are equally indigo." lastri said. It could be the same as my answer to my mother. I was just guessing. Miss Lastri glanced at me without saying hello or smiling.

" Want to drink ma'am, what tea is coffee ?" I offered him a drink, all diluting the atmosphere because his attitude was a bit cold to me.

" Coffee as always" he said without looking at me.

After making hot coffee for lastri I went into the kitchen and had lunch. Mom started chatting with Miss Lastri. Sometimes also serve buyers because it is still lunch hour.

" If that's the case I'm really sorry, Miss Lastri. " I heard Mom say that. What are they talking about it's me ?

About 1 hour later Lastri pamit bu.

" Yes already Miss Revelation, I say goodbye first. Already want Ashar later kesorean, understand the house of the village will be far away." Miss Lastri said while laughing slanted. Is this a subtle satire ?

" I hope next time Bu Lastri still want to stop by here, " said the mother later.

" God willing if there is a chance, Miss Revelation." Miss Lastri answered and greeted my mother.

I just peeked out of the kitchen, reluctant to come out because from earlier Miss Lastri did not greet me. Maybe Yudha said something to her mother and then Lastri came here to tell my mother.

" Why not greet Miss Lastri, Ma'am? " Mr Sri rebuked me. From then on he was slicing chili and making spices so I didn't pay attention to him.

" Fearful, his face wasn't friendly from the start." I answered and looked at him.

" Don't let him be angry with Aira. Looks like Yudha has not been here for a long time maybe offended by you, Ma'am. He kept complaining to his mother. " Sri whispered to me. Maybe I'm worried that you'll hear her.

" Whatever why, I don't say anything about him, "I said.

I went out to get the dirty glasses and dishes that were still on the table. I brought it in and I put it in the laundry.

" I guess I don't know. Yesterday Yudha took a walk but Mama Aira does not want to ? " Mr Sri guessed.

" Is that time offended ? " I'm muttering.

" The problem is not that, Ma'am. Mas Yudha is the year he wants to be betrothed to Sister Aira, so he came here acquaintances continue to approach so that more familiar. Aira's mother also yesterday-yesterday like giving the same hope he, but when invited out even refused. He must be disappointed. " Sri expressed her opinion.

I just kept quiet, trying to digest the sentence that Sri said.

" The point is, if you refuse his invitation means you refuse to be betrothed to him. Isn't that right, Mbak Aira ? " he continued again.

I myself am confused, actually I accept or not this matchmaking. But the attitude of Miss Lastri was like showing that she would not continue her plan with my mother.

Good thing mom talked to Wiwit in front. Sri mbak and I became free to chat while finishing work in the kitchen.

" Don't say the same mother, Sri Ma'am. If you ask about me, just answer not knowing. " I am warning Mbak Sri.

" Rebeees, uh bereees he he he !" sahut mbak Sri joked.

After Sulastri's mother came home, she didn't greet me until the afternoon. On the way home, my mother was silent. I am also reluctant to talk because I understand that it means my mother is angry.

" No food yet, Aira ? this is dad making instant noodle soup with eggs. " Dad offered me a meal.

" Not hungry, Dad ! Later I will finish praying Isyak all over. " I postponed my father's offer. After the new Isyak prayer I scooped up the noodles that dad offered earlier.

Ma'am Nia and mas Joni came home rather early tonight.

Mas Bayu was out of town following the arrest of Junior High School teachers. Ma'am Nia opened the package she carried, the contents of the hammer were too late.

" Why did the tumben come home quickly ? " ask the mother who just came out of the room.

" Yes, Joni mas wants to buy martabak so all of you go home. If the night is afraid of running out." Mbak Nia answered while thrusting martabak at mother, also father who was watching TV.

Now it is only 8 pm, usually they go home at 9 sometimes more.

While eating martabak mas Joni and dad chatting in the living room. I'm still watching TV while mom and dad sit at the dinner table.

" Oh yeah, about her son, Sulastri, how's it going, Mom ? he said he wanted to propose to Aira. " Mad Nia opened the conversation, because from earlier mother and I just kept quiet.

" Lastri was at noon to the shop. He said not to be besananan mother because Yudha undo his intentions. He said he was disappointed with Aira. " Mom explained to Mbak Nia.

I just kept quiet for fear of mispronouncing.

" Disappointed how, did you say what Yudha, Ra ? " Mr Nia asked me.

" I didn't say anything. If he talks, I'll answer." I defended myself.

' I also didn't tell Yudha that I didn't like her. I just refused his invitation to come out, because I was still awkward with him.' I said inwardly.

" Si Yudha told her mother that Aira never wanted to send her a picture. Aira also never contacted him if it was not Yudha who sent the message. Aira was last invited out but refused. Yudha concluded that Aira did not want to try to get close to him. He finally chose to withdraw. So said Miss Lastri last afternoon." Mom explained at length.

I just talked to Nia, not looking at me at all.

" Is that right Aira, weren't you the other day like accepting Yudha ? He even brought you some food made by lastri." Nia's mother asked me.

" At first I thought what's wrong with trying, who knows for a long time I could like Yudha. But I can't lie to my heart" I replied in an excuse.

" If indeed you do not want to be from the beginning you say, then Yudha does not expect more. He feels like you're PHP, a false hope-giver. It is clear that he is disappointed. " Mr Nia's been advising me.

" If I say I don't want to be angry. I also want to please Mom, Mom. That's why I'm good with Yudha. But don't know why the more days his attitude makes me so happy, more so. Suddenly I'm like him.." I'm talking slowly .

Mom was in the kitchen making coffee for Dad so I didn't hear my words just now.

" Lagian the Yudha was offended and withdrew. If it's serious he should keep trying to persuade me. We've only met how many times, I'm also not a cute girl who wants to be invited out. " I continue with my words.

Mother came out carrying coffee forward, then went in and sat down again next to Mbak Nia at the dinner table.

" Same introduced that are well established, serious, parents are also clear, not even willing. What does what one likes like ? who is a city person but his salary is mediocre, continue never attention ? never buy powder or perfume, snacks are never treated. Coming to a new house once, it's also the most just stopping by. Even the women who often meet. Such a man what to expect ? " said mother firmly.

I said a lot but just stared at Nia. It was as if they were just chatting together and there was no me. Though what is being discussed is me, so the effect of mother insinuating me. It's always like that.

How could I possibly explain or defend myself if not spoken to ? It's like I can't give an opinion and only accept being blamed.

Finally I went into the room, free to listen to mother if not given a chance to talk.

" Tuh right, if advised must even enter the room. Not like you, Nia. You always obey your mother." I heard you still grumbling.

It was clear that I chose to enter the room, mother would just insinuate me from earlier. That's what he said. The end of it must be comparing me to my brother.

Yach, obviously Mbak Nia is always obedient because nothing is always obeyed. He was also never scolded even if he did something wrong.

" Have Buk , maybe it has not been a match. Lagian Aira also just how many years old, too young if married. Mas Bayu just not yet, is it true that Mother Bayu mas stepped twice ? " Mr Nia also persuaded mother.

Dad same mas Joni even not heard his voice, it looks like they moved to the terrace. I never want to talk, usually just listen and give an opinion. But ever since Joni's mom, I'd rather avoid. I feel like no one is defending me anymore.
