Trapped by Young Mamah Charm

38. Bude Sekar's

That morning the road was quite crowded and a little jammed. It was not a road holiday full of vehicles leaving for work. All the road vehicles are creeping. Maira Anteng watched the streets filled with cars and motorcycles. They finally reached the toll gate. Firas directs his car to the highway. On the motorway the road cars crept because the toll road is full of cars.

“The fantasy is yama,” complained Maira.

Firas smiled and rubbed Maira's hair.

“Sabar, yes. The road is stuck because many leave for work,” Firas said.

“Om, nga kelja?” ask Maira.

“No Maira. Om will take a walk with Maira and Mamah,” replied Firas.

Firas does not pass through the MBZ overpass for fear that Aida and Maira will go to the toilet. So they had to jam along the Bekasi toll road to Cikarang. The traffic started to unravel after arriving in Kerawang. Many cars came out of the toll, so Firas could drive his car quickly. Maira is not upset anymore because the car is running fast.

At two o'clock in the afternoon they arrived at Sragen.

“We pray first all lunch,” said Firas.

They are looking for a restaurant and there is a mushola. Finally they arrived at a simple but clean restaurant. They prayed dzuhur and had lunch at the restaurant. After finishing eating, they continued their journey to the house of Ibu Sekar. Finally they arrived at Mother Sekar's house.

“Ayo Maira, we're down,” Firas carrying Maira.

They walked into the courtyard of Mother Sekar.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Aida.

“Waalaikumsalam,” a middle-aged woman comes out from inside the house.

“Who, yes?” Ibu Sekar asked while looking at Aida and Firas while frowning his forehead.

“I Aida, Bude,” Aida replied.

“Aida? Aida's Maira's son?” ask Mother Sekar.

“Iya, Bude,” Aida replied.

“Yes Allah, Aida,” Ibu Sekar directly embraced Aida.

“Pardon Bude, Aida. At that time Bude did not know what to do? Bude has nothing to help you,” Sekar's mother said in tears.

“It's okay, Bude. Aida understands. After all everything has passed,” replied Aida.

Sekar's mother let go of her embrace.

“This who?” Sekar's mother pointed to Firas and Maira.

Aida took Maira from Firas's sling.

“This is Maira, son of Aida,” said Aida.

“Aida already have children?” ask Mother Sekar confusedly.

Because after Ibu Sekar when his parents died Aida just graduated from High School.

“Maira greetings first with Uti Sekar,” said Aida.

Maira immediately kissed Sekar's mother's hand.

“Muah.”

“Aduh pinternya,” praise Ibu Sekar.

"The name is the same as your mama name, " said Ibu Sekar.

"Yes, Bude was deliberately Aida gave him a name like a mama name. So that Aida doesn't feel lonely, "Aida replied.

“When is Aida pregnant, who has a child?” ask Mother Sekar.

“Long story Bude,” replied Aida.

“This is Aida's husband?” tanya Ibu Sekar pointed to Firas.

“Not, Bude. This is Aida's future husband,” replied Aida.

“Oh, future husband. Bude thinks this is Aida's husband,” said Ibu Sekar.

Firas kissed Sekar's mother's hand.

“Come please sit,” said Ibu Sekar.

Aida and Firas sat down. Maira sat on Aida's lap.

“Bude call Pakde,” Ibu Sekar enter the house.

Soon after, Ibu Sekar came with a middle-aged man.

“Pak, this is Aida his son Maira,” said Ibu Sekar.

Aida and Firas immediately kissed Mulyono's hand.

“Aida is now big,” said Mr. Mulyono.

“Have a child,” said Ibu Sekar.

“Loh, already have a child? Marinkan just finished SMA,” asked Mr. Muljono confused.

“Long story Pakde,” replied Aida.

“Yes Allah, Aida. Forgive Bude and Pakde who can not help you,” said Ibu Sekar regretfully.

“It's okay, Bude,” replied Aida.

“Now you want to get married?” ask Mother Sekar.

“Iya, Bude. Aida asks for her blessing from Bude and Pakde. Aida is very expecting the arrival of Bude and Pakde,” Aida replied.

“His marriage is in Jakarta, yes?” ask Mother Sekar.

“Iya, Bude,” Aida replied.

“Ag far away,” said Ibu Sekar.

Firas approached Aida.

“I'll get to the car first,” whispered Firas.

“Iya,” Aida replied.

Firas moved from his seat to his car. Shortly thereafter, he came with a backpack. Firas opened the bag and took out a brown envelope bearing the logo of a bank. Firas approached Sekar's mother.

“Bude, this is for Bude and Pakde fare to Jakarta,” Firas put the envelope into the hands of Ibu Sekar.

Ibu Sekar was shocked when given an envelope of money by Firas.

“For lodging in Jakarta I have prepared. And for the return ticket to Sragen also I have prepared. There will be a staff member who will take care of everything. Bude and Pakde just came to Jakarta,” said Firas.

Sekar's mother turned to her husband as if asking for her husband's approval. Mulyono also nodded.

“Thank you, Nak Firas. God willing we will come to your wedding,” said Ibu Sekar.

“Alhamdullilah,’ says Aida.

Actually Aida was shocked when Firas gave money to Ibu Sekar. Firas said nothing to Aida.

“Then we excuse you,” says Firas.

“Loh, why rush? Not staying here?” ask Mother Sekar.

“No, Bude. Thank ye. Later troublesome Bude and Pakde,” replied Firas.

“No hassle, Nak Firas. Just the place yes, this is,” said Ibu Sekar.

“We stay at the inn only. Because tomorrow morning we want to go to Wonosobo,” said Firas.

“Ke Wonosobo to whose place?” ask Mother Sekar.

“To Pakde's house from Papah,” Aida replied.

“Yo wes, be careful on the road,” says Ibu Sekar.

“Good, Bude,” Aida replied.

Aida and Firas kiss the hands of Sekar's mother and Mulyono.

“We'll excuse you. Assalamualaikum,” says Firas.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied Ibu Sekar and Pak Mulyono.

Aida and Firas leave from Sekar's house to Firas' car.  In the car, Aida said. “Akang, thanks for everything. Sorry, if Aida has been troublesome Akang.”

Firas turned to Aida and smiled.

“Sama-sama Aida. I'm doing this for you, for your happiness. I don't want to see you sad when we get married,” Firas replied.

“Thank you,” said Aida once again and started shedding tears.

“Already, don't be sad anymore! Later people will think I'm whatever you are,” said Firas.

Firas took a tissue and wiped Aida's face wet with tears.

“We face it all together, yes,” whispered Firas.

Aida nodded.

“Om, let's go!” maira said impatiently.

“Come, we let’s go!” Firas runs the car.

Aida and Firas scour the town of Sragen looking for a hotel for them to stay at. Sragen city is very spacious but difficult to find a hotel. They finally got a guest house instead of a hotel. The guest house is located in the middle of the city and close to a private hospital. It's okay, the important thing is that they get a clean place to stay.

Firas rented two rooms, one for Aida and Maira. One more for himself. Firas and Aida's rooms are next to each other. Maira was very happy because her room was quite large. The toddler climbed on the bed and jumped on the bed.

“Maira, don't jump! Later fall,” said Aida.

Maira immediately stopped jumping.

“We take a shower first, yes,” Aida undress Maira and take her to the bathroom.

Aida and Mairah had finished bathing, they were watching television while sleeping in bed.

“Mama, au to Om Pias,” says Maira.

“Let's go to Om Firas. Now Om Firas again bobo. Poor cape has driven far,” replied Aida.
