Mama and Dara passed by the television room. There they saw Papa who was watching a movie. Dara pulls Mama's hand leading her to sit next to Papa.
" Mama is sitting here.." Dara sat down next to Mama. The three of them sat in the middle of a long sofa.
" Pa, I want to talk seriously with Papa and Mama. " Dara clasped Mama's hand.
" So by the way, Ra..What is it ? " Papa turned off his television and now faced Dara.
Mama looked at Papa with a confused face. Papa hugged Mama's shoulder and rubbed her trying to calm down. Mama looked back at Dara.
" lady...Mama remember that I once told you that having a friend who used to be missing is now there again ? " Dara looked at Mama closely. Mama nodded her head.
" Overnight.....He expressed his good intentions to Mama's son. He wants to make me his life companion, his wife, the mother of his children. " Say Dara with a smile on her lips.
" Are you sure, baby ? You're not afraid he'll disappear again like yesterday ? " Mama asked doubtfully.
" Bismillah Mom.. I didn't know him for a day or two. I've known him for a long time. He was missing yesterday not because there was a problem or running away from something. That's because each of us changed our phone number and I left the old office and moved here. " Dara convinced Mama.
" Papa how ? " Dara looked at Papa.
" Hmmm... Looks like Papa's daughter is already big, so many beetles are approaching. " Papa smiled.
Dara returned Papa's smile.
" But Dara.there's something you want to tell you, too, son.." Papa's words made Dara frown.
" What is Pa ? "
" Actually, someone called Papa last night. " Mama and Dad looked at each other.
" Pakde Wawan, ask you to Papa to be married by his son. That's Rizal. "
The deg! Dara was shocked to pick.
" Papa, don't approve or refuse your Pakde's request, son. Which Papa says all the decisions are on you. Thank you thank goodness. If not, it is not his soul mate. " Papa tried to explain to Dara that she would not make an emotional decision. What Papa wants Dara to think about his decision carefully, not because of the element of coercion or pressure from anywhere.
" Come, son.we eat first so that you can think clearly and make decisions wisely. " Mama rubbed the back of Dara's hand that had been grasped earlier.
Dara just nodded her head slowly.
At the dinner table there was no sound coming out of the mouths of the three of them, there was only the sound of spoons and forks clashing against each other on the plate. Dara was not very tasteful, she ended her meal without finishing the food on her plate. Dara sipped a glass of water in front of her. Then he stood up, ready to go to his room. Mama wants to call Dara but is blocked by Papa. Papa shook his head, and hinted Mama to continue eating. And Mama obeyed Papa even half-heartedly.
Dara entered her room with slightly shaky steps. She doesn't understand why Pakde wants her to be Mas Rizal's wife ? Though all this time Dara only consider him as an older brother, even though they are distant cousins. When Dara misses the affectionate figure of an older brother from Mas Doni, then he will get it from Mas Rizal. Since it has been more than three years ago Dara's brother married and lived with his wife abroad.
Dara sleeps on her stomach while hugging her roll. Play HPnya, open and close WA applications. Why hasn't there been any news from Ardi all day ? He didn't call or text in WA ? Is he serious or not ? Do I have to call him first ? But, it's very aggressive if I do. He will know my heart without me having to give an answer. Dara muttered to herself.
Dara's still playing her HP. Open the photo gallery folder. Open one by one the photos stored there. There's a picture of Dara with Mama, Papa, Mas Doni the only brother she's always missed. And it turns out there are also photos when Dara was still working in his old office. Pictured are the faces of his old friend. They were sitting in a row and stepped in the steps of a villa in the summit area. Dara observed one by one the faces and then she found one of the photographed faces that she was very familiar with. That's Brother Ardi. Sis Ardi sat on the top step and his eyes seemed to be glancing at someone.
" Sister Ardi glanced at who the hell ? " Dara looked at her picture again. Passing it with his index finger about which one fits the eyes of Kak Ardi.
" Rina...? He was sitting right under Ardi. By the way..Thank you Rin, because you used to be close to Ardi, we are now so suhabatan.and maybe tomorrow we are more than just friends.." Dara smiled as she rubbed the face of Rina in the photo.
Still vividly remembered Dara's recollection. At that time Rina who was still a new employee in her office entered her division for training. Dara, who was called by Ardi, was asked to teach her jobdesk to Rina. It turns out that Rina is a child who is easy to accept directions, and also her child is easy to get along with other employees. So that this new employee can quickly master his jobdesk. Finally, Rina was pulled back and directly under the supervision of Kak Ardi.
Dara is a careless child and does not like to interfere in other people's affairs. So at first he did not know that Kak Ardi and Rina were in a relationship. Until finally Rina asked Dara to help her to let her stay in her room. It was during the stay that Rina began to tell Dara about what really happened with their relationship. Rina felt doubtful with Kak Ardi, because according to him Kak Ardi is classified as a indifferent person. Not romantic. Women want to be pampered and cared for. That's what Rina complained about. Therefore he Rina has not answered the feelings of Kak Ardi.
Until one day Kak Ardi accidentally caught Rina with another man in a cafe. The man gave Rina a brown teddy bear and a bunch of flowers. Lina laughed happily. Brother Ardi who knew that Rina was to confide in Dara finally he also confided. He told me what he saw at the cafe.
Nyutt ! Suddenly something hurt inside Dara's chest.
" So unfortunately you used to be the same Rina, sister. Is there still one empty title in your heart that holds memories or feelings that once existed for Rina ? Just thinking about it here immediately shows his reaction.. " Murm Dara while holding her chest.
The tring! WA message in. Dara woke up from her daydream.
" What is Rizal ? It's a hell of a fit.." Dara opened the message.
" Ra, it's noon at break time I'd like to say yes.." Fill in WA message.
" Ok! I also have something to say Mas Rizal "Dara replied.
