Three Years Different

108

"Includes you, right?" ask Rajendra.

Mardiyah just stared. Rajendra is putting an iPad on the table. He then pushed towards Mardiyah, asking her brother to look.

"Please" Rajendra said.

Mardiyah's forehead shriveled. "What?"

"I didn't say I had any information about your family." Rajendra opened his palm and swung upwards. "So, please look. Or do you need to be read ... by your sister?"

Mardiyah with a flat face took the iPad. He read carefully in his heart. In the first part is the curriculum vitae as sent by Mama Cecilia. Next is still the same place where Grandma Aisha used to live. Then, the next one is different. There it is written that Zanitha is a secretary of Gautama Adiwangsa. Pregnancy is clearly mentioned, and the last is the death of his mother.

"All are almost the same as given by Mama Cecilia," said Mardiyah.

Rajendra agreed. "Indeed. I purposely didn't write down your mother's home address and her funeral. I want to know how serious you're reading."

He knows Mom's funeral? inner Mardiyah.

"Today I plan to take you to the funeral." Rajendra. "Available to come?"

Mardy thought for a moment. Is the man in front of her lying? Mardiyah never forgot Rajendra had treated her so badly. Can people be that easy to change? And instantly be good?

Might as well.

But for Rajendra it looks like that will never happen. What if he fucked? It's only permission on Lutfan to go to Jyotika Ira to see Mama Cecilia. Not to see Rajendra.

"Fearful?" Rajendra.

Mardiyah was originally daydreaming in the other direction. Now look at Rajendra again. "you reckon? You never forget, do you? The crazy behavior you ever did to me? If I'm willing to come along doesn't that mean I'm looking to die?"

"Then you came here? Isn't it looking to die too?" Rajendra smiled in anguish. "If you have entered the pool, just dive. It's wet anyway, right?"

Mardiyah swallowed.

"Joking," Rajendra continued with a laugh of his own.

Again Mardiyah did not hear the way people joke like Rajendra. In addition to her face being inappropriate, her behavior while joking was also inappropriate. "I don't want to" broke up Mardiyah.

One of Rajendra's eyebrows is raised. "don't want? You certain? I'm serious about your mother's funeral."

"Yes. I'm sure" said Mardiyah.

Rajendra suddenly got up, the man approached. Mardiyah was ready to take a swing to stand up as well. But Rajendra locked it up faster. "Mahica. That's the name Grandpa gave me, right?"

Mardiyah just stared silently.

"I remember everything. I was crazy from the beginning. Because you suddenly came to my family. I feel like I want to hurt you, if I can until you die."

Mardiyah's heart was beating fast. It's insanity. He tried to push Rajendra away.

"But ..." Rajendra. "If I change my mind. Want to be a good brother. Is that wrong? Does that sound and look weird to you?"

"Yes, very strange," explains Mardiyah.

Rajendra. "All right." Then stay away from Mardiyah by turning to look at the window. "Take anyone. Except for your husband, for the funeral this week."

"Why is my husband in except right?"

Rajendra was silent for a moment. Then he turned around again and replied, "Because of the wheelchair. Your mother's funeral doesn't have a flat road."

"If that's why my husband can still come. He can wait in front, not enter the cemetery," said Mardiyah.

Rajendra sighed. "Other than a wheelchair. Your husband talks a lot. I don't like noisy people."

Mardiyah was silent for a moment. Did he ever meet Lutfan? his inner. "Yes already."

"It's up to you."

📍Outlet Trust Store in Mojokerto.

Lutfan arrived early before the outlet opened. Aldo arrived at twelve this afternoon. Then the female staff whom Aldo was referring to had also just arrived, but not with the man who had impregnated her, she had come alone.

"Mr Lutfan ..." The female staff named Rita was bowing deeply. "I'm not lying. He did that, sir."

"Crazy girl!" Aldo threw his face away. "This is why, huh? When am I going to do anything? Let alone nothing! Hold your hand I never did!"

The female staff said, "You touched me.  You-you did it. A-you---"

Aldo suddenly said, "From the beginning you can't talk well." Aldo got up to approach Rita. But it was held by Lutfan. "Lut, that's it. I'm not here to hear him defacing. He was wrong to look for my problems. He doesn't know who I am. I'm going--"

"Udah, Do. Get in there to your room. I want to talk to this staff first," broke up Lutfan with a glance at Rita.

After speaking clearly to the female staff. Lutfan entered Aldo's room by massaging his forehead. Trouble is over, and Rita admits that she is hamili by one of the male staff here, who is none other than her lover.

Do these people not understand their sins? Why do that? Accuse others who have not done so? Until Lutfan had to make a firm decision to hire one of them, it was forced to move it to another outlet. So that Aldo is not disturbed.

"Udah?"

"Hm." Lutfan sat down and leaned his back on the sofa. "She's pregnant with the other staff here too."

"Crazy ... keep you firing them?"

"Gue asked one of them who worked at Amanah Store. But I moved to another outlet" Lutfan replied.

Aldo glanced in the other direction. "Disease me, Lut. How could I like a girl like that?"

"Udah, Do."

"Udah-udah! If I'm really like him, I really don't want to admit a child that I don't even know who the father is!" Aldo shuddered. "not to mention. I have to get a girl who can't take care of her pride. I really didn't know, Lut. It turns out, right? Want to get a virgin today is very difficult."

Lutfan who was relaxed now changed his position to sit. "Lo said what?"

"You don't have to repeat it, do you?"

Lutfan nodded. "Yes already. Next time you find the real one. All of that I have to look at until carefully. Eh? I don't mean. Do you know how it really was? Don't do anything to get married."

"Hm."

Lutfan sighed.

Aldo stared at the ceiling of the room. "But I already told my Bokap Nyokap, Lut. Who am I going to apply for?"

"Yes just say it's off" replied Lutfan.

Aldo. "No. What if I look for something else?"

"No candidate, Lut?"

Lutfan's forehead shrivels. "Lo want me to find it?"

"Who knows if you have any acquaintances. Perhaps santri or .. orphanage children are also not pa-pa," replied Aldo.

Lutfan shook his hand. "Nonsense. There's none! There you find yourself."

Aldo was silent for a moment. "Lut."

"What, huh? I didn't tell you to look for yourself, did I?"

Aldo looked at Lutfan. "Salwa, what age is it?"

Lutfan was busy staring at the window. Now he turned to look at Aldo with widened eyes, then turned into an annoyed look. "Lo! What the fuck, huh? Lo maui ... Akh, crazy! Why do you wonder Salwa's age, huh?"

"Gue just asked. Wrong?"

"Wrong!

"If you don't answer yes. I just ask Umma Sarah," Aldo said casually.

"Anjir, lo!" Lutfan's eyes glared at Aldo. "Lo's best friend he's so much different! Inget! She's not legal age don't need to bust her!"

"Oh not legal. Means between fifteen, sixteen, huh?" Aldo looked at the ceiling of the room. "No pa-pa I can wait for him to graduate school. At most 3 years, right?"

"Istighfar lo, Do! Istighfar!"

Aldo looked at him seriously. "Well? I have no intention of a macem. My brain is also sane. I'll wait three years. But before that I want to meet Kiai Bashir, let your cousin's sister is not in a mate."

Astaghfirullah is a child! inner Lutfan.

Aldo shaking hands. "Back topic! Lo di wa sempet said he wanted to discuss the holidays, right?"

"Yes. I want a honeymoon" replied Lutfan. "Out of town, anyway. When do you take a holiday?"

"Two months ago I wasn't going to take a vacation. If you want a honeymoon. Honeymoon aja there, I will stop by the outlets that you guard. I will also ask for help to Mas Jafar," replied Aldo.

Lutfan stared for a moment. "Lo's sure?"

"Yes. Toss at home. Around the outlet, too, Lut."

"Okay. Estimated the middle of the month I left. Is it safe to stay?"

Aldo started to open his laptop. "Pure. Insha'allah. Aman."

Mardiyah has decided to be accompanied by anyone. But before that, he had to talk to Lutfan first. Bakda magrib usually Lutfan will come home soon, he just wait. Coincidentally, he had also cooked rice and some side dishes.

The kling!

Winchered. Mardiyah saw the notification, may have been replied by Abhimata.

Abhimata

Lt could. Where to, Brother?

^^^Besok I told you the place.^^^

Alhamdulillahot. It turns out that Abhimata can, inner Mardiyah. Not long before the door of his room opened, it turned out that Lutfan had come with a tired face.

"Assalamualaik."

"Mosur." Mardiyah got up and helped push Lutfan's wheelchair. "Would you like to eat or take a shower?"

"I want to take a break. Tired, Mar," said Lutfan who entered the bathroom directly. While Mardiyah waited outside by preparing her husband's change of clothes.

After a few minutes, Lutfan finally came out with his wet hair, along with a towel on his back. "Mar, can I ask you a favor?" Lutfan.

"Can."

"I thirst. Can I have a drink, please?"

Mardiyah nodded. "You wait here, okay?"

"Yes." Yeah."

When Mardiyah came out. There was a notification on the wife's device, as she approached and saw it coming from Abhimata.

Abhimata

Both of you, brother?

Lutfan's forehead shrivels. Where are they going? the mind that put back the device of the wife.

"Lutfan, this is the drink" said Mardiyah who suddenly came.

Lutfan smiled thinly. "Thank you." He immediately sipped mineral water. He said, "Mar, please get my clothes."

"Ah, yes." Mardiyah handed over Lutfan's shirt, and took over the glass. "It."

Lutfan put his towel on the thigh. Then he put on clothes, and slowly he climbed into the bed. His towel he sashes in a wheelchair.

"Mar ..."

"Yes?" Mardiyah approached, resuscitating her back.

"Sorry, yeah. I just accidentally saw your chat with Abhimata. Where are you going?"

Mardiyah surprised. He turned around to take his hand, and replied to a message from Abhimata. Afterwards he turned to look at Lutfan again with a faint smile.

"I also happen to want to talk to you about this." Lutfan's hand on the bed was touched by Mardiyah. "Sunday tomorrow. The morning. You want to come with me to Mom's funeral?"

"Mother? Your mother? My in-law?"

Mardiyah nodded.

"Grandmother's been interested?"

"Not yet."

"Keep you know where?"

Mardiyah was silent for a moment. "From ... Rajendra."
