The days passed as usual Mas Raka never stopped by the stall or came to the house. Mostly he calls me at night every night before bed. Maybe the family wants to hold a fancy wedding so that a week before it has started to get busy.
It's the fourth day, Thursday night he took a videocall when I just laid my body on the bed. I immediately grabbed the instant hijab before lifting it up.
" My beautiful Assalamualaikum Airaku, have you slept ? "
" Waalaikum salam Mas Raka who is handsome and kind, this just want to sleep. Tumben vidcall, usually also WhatsApp or phone ."
" I miss seeing your smile. Just a day did not meet long ago, this is even 4 days Sorry yes I am busy continue to nih ."
Mas Raka smoked his cigarette, then said again.
" I've been working the night shift for a week. But in the afternoon I will help in a place of family who want to visit. You see, the other brothers are still in college, returning home on Saturday and Sunday. I was the busiest, hehe ! "
" Ciyee who was dikangenin so floated.. It's nothing, spirit. By the way, who wants to visit the person is very rich, yes, continue to have a luxurious wedding that ."
" If her parents are ordinary. They used to sell too, the stall next to my mother's stall. Just a year they stopped selling and opened a grocery store at home. Maybe they know your mother.
But if his son who wants to marry it has become ASN, is old enough too, so maybe his savings are also a lot for a big party. "
" Whose name, perhaps my mother still remembers that I said. Then the relationship with your mother is close what is far away ? "
" His name is Karno, you could say cousin is also my mother, from her father's side. I just call him Mr. Karno, his age is about the same as Mbak Tika. Ardi is a cousin on her mother's side.. "
" That means you are the same Ardi is a distant family, Mas. It is precisely the Karno mas that is close. "
" Yes right, it's just that Ardi is the same age as me. Friends since we were SD so we are familiar. Oh yes, the plan is tomorrow the recipe in the Graha Wiyata Dharma building next to the Camat's office."
" Mas Karno works in Camat's office huh, the recipe is far from his home ? "
" House of his future wife near Camat's office. The man is also old, just as late as marriage. Reportedly who asked for a fancy party is also the family of his future wife."
" I see, the pantesan long ago was busy. The recipe is in the building near his house, most also let the neighbor praise him if he gets a rich husband."
" Huush, ah don't gossip. Sleep yuk, tomorrow there is still a task. But it seems like there are siblings who are already on college leave, so can help. If the building's business is already handled by itself ."
" I also sleepy, oaahemm. Have a good night," I said.
" Have a good dream baby, muaach!" his reply.
The screen is dead. I put my phone next to my head. After praying I closed my eyes.
*************
Breakfast hours are over. The customers only have one or two. I had breakfast with my mom in the front room. Madam Sri in the kitchen washes dishes and furniture that was used earlier.
" Kok tumben Raka these few days never met you. Busy work or something else ? " ask mom a little suspicious.
" After busy helping in the family of his mother who wants to get married. She said she knew them, "I answered her to remove her suspicions.
" Oh yeah, who the hell is Raka's family in question ? " ask mom again.
" Who wants to marry his cousin Harti, his name is mas Karno. Her parents used to sell next to her stall, Harti." I also told it according to what was told by Raka.
" Karno's cousin Harti's mom ? Oh yes, I remember. I haven't seen them in over a year. But Karno was the same age as Tika loh , who just got married now." Mom looked astonished and smiled.
" Well, don't want to be used. Because Karno is tenacious, thorough and not wasteful. Back when his parents were still selling he often had breakfast here, then later his mother paid. He also rarely shop like young people his age. Maybe his savings are a lot."
" If that's stingy Buk. Time already has its own income while eating still asking parents. He should have given the parents." I commented.
It turns out that this Karno mas is worse than Bayu. It has become ASN still asking for rations with parents, hehehe. Pantesan can hold a wedding reception in an expensive building.
" Hello hello, Aira make hot tea dong !" mbak Wiwit suddenly appeared.
" Okay Ma'am! " my sahut while bringing my old dinner plate with my mother to the kitchen.
After washing my hands I made hot tea for Wiwit.
" Tumben bu Wahyu just as Aira ate together. I think I'm serious about talking about something" he continued, picking up fried bananas.
" Not anything serious, Aira said that his brother Raka wanted to get married. That's you know, Karno's son Irah's mom who sells next to him Harti's mom. Now sell at home.." Mom told mbak Wiwit.
" Ooh, Karno who likes breakfast here if you want to go to work. Oh my God, just married now ? Kirain has been since, hehehe ! " wiwit's comments
" His name is mate, don't know when it's coming." I chimed. I put the ordered hot tea on the table.
" Yes too, when soon you also want to marry Ra. Not unexpectedly, he used to have your Junior High just entered Kindergarten. Now the wedding is almost the same, heeh ! " Mr Wiwit chuckled, then he picked up some fritters and put them in a small white plastic. He came out with his hot tea.
" Morning is gossiping. It was just discussing Raka mas who never appeared, uh even menglember talking about his uncle and his future wife. You mother-mom, haha ! " my cock. I'll take a table cloth in the kitchen to clean the dining table. I'll take the dirty dishes that are still left.
" Including those who just talked, do not realize yes," chirped mbak Sri who has finished washing.
" I didn't, I was just telling you because I was asked by my mother. Otherwise I don't tell dong." I defended myself.
" I'm ngeles ! " said mbak Sri with a lip.
" Had breakfast there, this one let me continue." I told him to eat first while I put the laundry dishes I just brought from outside.
Madam Sri took her breakfast and was taken to the kitchen. While eating he asked me," So tomorrow Mama Aira want the same condition mas Raka? " I'm shaking.
" No, Raka didn't say anything. From the beginning he had no intention of asking me. Maybe not as good as the other brothers. Unless they invite mom, I'm the one who came to represent." I'm telling my opinion.
" But yes, mas Raka did not invite his future wife. They can be introduced to their relatives. Yesterday you invited him to the show aqiqah his son Mbak Tika, right ?" Sri Ma'am is connecting again
" Yep different dong, mbak Tika is my brother, still a family. If you have this wish you can say his grandfather mas Raka but not the bladder. Who married his mother's cousin's sister. It's like a distant family. Surely mas Raka is not good to take me. " I explained to mbak Sri not to blame mas Raka.
" It is also true, even though the Lord of Revelation is familiar, but in fact they did not invite him. As if I don't know you already" he murmured.
" That's why it looks so. They are not pleased with our presence. Or it could be the family of men who intend to invite but the authorities are even the family of women. The proof is that the place of the recipe is also the woman's family who determines."
" It could also be Mbak, so Raka did not dare to invite Mba Aira. Huuh, the old virgin just belagu ! " gruntle mbak Sri.
" Heeh, how are we even discussing things that are not our business. I want to shop ! " my daughter went out and asked for money to shop with mom.
