The Unconsidered Bungsu

CHAPTER 77 Undirected ( POV RAKA )

After work I sent a WA message to Aira, if I don't go to her house this afternoon. I'm sure he won't be angry, especially yesterday we've been together all day. I went home too.

Tonight my family was gathering to watch TV, my brothers were studying in the front room. I intend to convey my wish to propose to Aira.

" Sir, Buk, I want an important talk" I said as I sat next to my grandmother.

" What talk, rich is serious." Mother asked somewhat astonished, while taking care of the clothes that had just been dried this afternoon.

" Em, I want to ask for the blessing of Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma. I'd like to propose to Aira." Finally said that sentence.

" Oh yeah, when ? " ask mom and grandma almost simultaneously. They seem to be happy to hear this news. But another with the father who had been staring at the television. His facial expression immediately turned unpleasant. While grandfather only listened occasionally staring at the television screen.

" If possible this month. Aira said she was afraid of being a neighbor, because my relationship with her had been over a year and we met almost every day." I also explain my reason why I want to propose immediately.

" Aira is right, as a woman she certainly feels a burden if not immediately married even though every day with her boyfriend. There must be something gossiping, not to mention when asked when to marry. Confused what to answer." I chimed in, then turned to my father.

" How do you think Raka agreed not to propose to Aira this month." I asked for my father's opinion. Still staring at the TV screen the father said, "Have you thought carefully about this plan of yours, Raka ? " You still doubt my proposal.

" Don't let because you think of pleasure for a moment you will regret. How many months you have worked, not yet you please your parents. I told you to go to college only until D2 so you graduate quickly and then work. If you already have a job you can help ease the burden of the father with the mother.. Your siblings still cost a lot." He continued his sentence at length.

": Sir, if you don't need to remind me I know. No child wants to make their parents happy. Now I can't help, but someday if I get a better job I'll set some aside for you." I still assure father. All this time he always disagreed with me, always looking at me lightly. But I still respect him and as much as possible avoid fighting.

" Why do you want to rush into marriage. If you are married, you must be responsible for supporting your wife, accompanying her everywhere. Your days are always not separated from your wife, then when do you please your family. That's why I suggest you think again before proposing to Aira," I still don't approve of my wishes.

" If I proposed to Aira, that doesn't mean marriage. I still have to save first and prepare everything. If I were married, I would never forget my family. You don't judge me right away, like if I get married then I'll get away from you. I don't think Aira could be like that either." I dismissed my father's worries.

" Now you say that, in fact you want to propose to Aira too because she asked. I'm just worried that you'll be arranged with him, you'll be the same Aira's older." Oh, my God, till the age of being carried around.

" I'm the same Aira is only different for a year, sir, that can't be an excuse. If you don't want to propose to Aira for me let it be represented by each other." I was lazy to continue the conversation because the edges so arguing with father.

I left the living room and took the HP and cigarettes in the room, then went out to get a fresh breeze. I walked towards my friend's Doyok house. I hit the window of his room because I didn't want to disturb his parents. They must have slept.

" Raka, why are you there? " ask Doyok as soon as he opens the window. "No need, open the door I want to sleep here." I told him to open the door.

" Okay a minute." He closed the window of his room. I entered through the front door and went straight to her room. We sit on the floor with the carpet.

" Why else are you, that tangled face?" ask Doyok again with a smile. I lit a cigarette and sucked it deep.

" Ordinary, arguing with father. I don't know, he's like he hates me, his own son who knows I made a mistake. But that was when I was in High School, everyone was forgiving, but my father changed his attitude. There is something he wants to discuss with me. About college, work, and now the matter of Aira is also up for debate." I said with annoyance.

" What's Aira why, you don't impregnate her right," he chirped while grinning. I picked up the ashtray I was about to throw into his body, but stopped remembering his parents who were sleeping.

" Subject to say, thankfully this ashtray does not float to your bidat." I put another ashtray on the floor.

" Yes then why," he asked again. Then he sat next to me.

" So gini, the plan is that this month I want to propose to Aira. I asked permission from Ortu, Grandpa. Everyone agrees, only the father objected. Reasons assortment. I explained but still did not accept. The ends yes, you know for yourself we must be arguing. Than I sin against my parents mending I take it out of there." Doyok nodded but did not comment. He even moved from his seat.

" A moment I make coffee first, let's not dry your throat from earlier talk hehehe ! " He chuckled as he headed to the kitchen. Five minutes later he appeared carrying 2 cups of black coffee.

" But by the way, you really want to propose to Aira ? It's been a mess of it." Doyok. He laughed grinning.

" Surely, I even proposed to him personally. Yesterday I took her to Jogja, and in a romantic garden I squatted in front of Aira. I said, Will you marry me. And he happily replied, yes I am willing.." I told Doyok about my proposal to Aira yesterday afternoon.

" Ciyee, kayak on soap opera. Do you wear rings too ? " ask him to know.

" Yes not yet, maybe tomorrow if the official application event. Don't forget you have to come too." My love to Doyok. " Bereeees, if there's an event like this, I'll be there." He promise.

Until late at night we both chatted while accompanied by cigarettes and coffee. If Aira knew for sure she would be nagging, because she didn't like it when I smoked a lot. But because I'm here tonight, then I'm breaking the shit.

Smack it. 5.00 In the morning I woke up and prayed at dawn in Doyok's room. He himself is still slitting. After the prayer I went home and entered the house through the back door. I took a shower and prepared myself to go to work.

" Breakfast used to be Raka, still too early" said the mother who was in the kitchen. I'm still in my room, usually at 6:00 just came out to take a shower.

" Later in Aira's stall" I said and went out to get the bike. I was lazy to meet the father, so mending quickly left.

But on the road I remember, Aira if you leave for the stall around 7 am, now it's only 6.10. I don't want to disturb him. At this hour she cleans the house the most. Finally I decided to have breakfast at the gudeg shop. After my stomach filled, I went to work.
