“I don't think you're coming, Dar. From last night, I can't call you. The message I sent you also did not reply,” said Vita. Both are still in that place.
Dara immediately replied with an unpleasant face. “Sorry, Ta. There's a hard signal. So maybe your message is hauling in the coconut tree.”
Vita laughs little there-just the term. Whether true or not, but Vita did not want to ask more details like what.
“Where to come with anyone?” ask Vita again. Finally, the two women came down from the pelaminan to meet Dara's family. Although there were still one or two people who came, Vita still decided to go down and leave her husband. “Mas, I go first,” her part which was reputedly taken by the man.
“One family. Sama Mas Candra, too,” replied Dara shortly afterwards.
“Chandra?” Vita cringing. “Who is Chandra?”
“Chandra ...fiancee.”
Vita was very surprised to hear this news. Of course he was disappointed because it wasn't with Alif, as he expected the two to be together.
“Seriously? Just a few days later we split up you're engaged?”
Dara nodded. “Length the story.”
If Vita just feels sick to hear it. What about Alif? Vita knew lately they were a bit close and had exchanged numbers. But why did Dara get engaged to another man so soon? Does this girl have more feelings for her sister-in-law?
The two now walked over to approach Dara's family. Wanna meet.
“Bu ..” Dara pats the back of a woman that Vita suspects is her mother. He stood his back because he was talking to other members of his family.
“This is Vita,” said Dara as soon as her mother turned her head.
“Eh, masyallah,” he said enthusiastically, “beautiful this friend of yours, Dar?”
Vita smiled, then extended her hand. But instead of welcoming, the shady-faced woman actually hugged him tightly.
“We should have climbed to the top, but this was instead the bride who came down to see us.”
“It's okay, Mom. I did have the intention to go down because it was sore because it stood too long.”
“Thank you yes, Nduk. I want to be friends with our son. Good luck with our brothers, yes, Nduk. I'm sorry that Dara's been bothering you so much all this time. Dara used to tell you, Nduk. He said he often borrowed your money if he was desperate,” he said at length with glittering eyes. Not finished there alone, he again added, “May your marriage last, sakinah, mawadah, warrahmah, and always blessed by God.”.
Both of them stretched their arms. Then Vita replied, “Thank you for the prayer, Mom. Dara never troubled me, it was me who often troubled her.”
Dara just smiled, she also felt overwhelmed. Later, Vita was also introduced to Dara's father, her sister, until her future husband who is thought to look more mature than Dara.
“Where's your baby, Nduk?” ask Dara's mother.
“There's the same Umi-in-law.” Vita shows a group of families talking to their guests.
“Oh, right there. Healthy, yes, Nduk. I can't go there right now, there's a lot of guests around. We don't feel good about having to cut their conversation. It's best to wait for them to finish chatting.”
“Iya, Mom, it's okay,” replied Vita then turned to Dara who was talking to her fiance. “Dar, already on food grab yet?”
“Oh, yes later, Ta. Relax.”
On one occasion when their conversation was over and Dara's family split up to pick up a dish, Vita again asked a question that he thought was strange.
“You're really crazy, Dara. Without wind without rain know already engaged. Didn't you say you would continue your education at that time?”
Not yet had time to answer, suddenly heard the cry of the baby and made Vita suddenly look for the source of the sound.
“Your child is crying, Ta,” said Dara focused her attention on the baby who was in the sling Umi Ros.
“Unch ... Baby, Honey. Want nen?” Umi Ros looks tired when calming her grandson. “Kejer dia, Bah.”
“Whispering here, it may take a quiet room,” replied Abah in response.
“Add hard dia.”
“That's Mama,” Abah said as she pointed to her daughter-in-law who was walking quickly towards them.
“Why cry?” ask Vita as soon as it arrives.
“Rewel, seems to want to sleep, but noisy.” Umi Ros transfers Ray's small body to her mother. “It's better Vita and up now, gih. Ratih, accompany Vita, yes. Help release his accessories,” his word to the girl who is still eighteen years old.
“It's okay, don't worry. There is Yudha downstairs. The important grandson Umi first yes, Nak.”
Vita nodded, then turned to her friend who was waiting, “Dar, I went upstairs first, yes.”
“Oh, yes. Mango, Ta.”
As soon as Umi Ros heard Dara's name, she immediately focused her attention and asked, “This is Dara?”
“Iya, Umi ...,” replied Dara shyly. I didn't know he was known in this family.
“Enable your number, yes, Dar,” said Vita before she finally climbed up with Ratih. They went to the room that Yudha had booked since last night.
“Always!” Dara answered.
“Who came with whom?” ask Umi Ros again.
It seems like this conversation will continue, Inner Dara guessed.
“Come with family, Umi.”
“Include, this is the Brother of children.”
“Greetings, Abah. I'm Dara, her friend Vita.” Dara put her hands together. As should the Muslims shake hands.
Abah Haikal just smiled and nodded. He looks very authoritative. Dara until amazed.
“Have met Alif?” Umi asked again. “Sit, Son. Let's have a better chat.”
Dara felt so appreciated. This family is very friendly and open to everyone. They look at everyone the same. Unlike most rich people who are often crazy in office to forget the land.
“After seeing Alif, but it looks like he's out of the building,” Dara replied.
“You've known for a long time, huh?” He is not a parent who likes to talk.
“Ehm, yes, Umi. Appreciable. Since Vita is five months pregnant again it seems that Dara is not wrong.”
Umi asked again, “Did Alif ever say like Dara?”
“Hah?” Dara was surprised so much that she widened her eyes. “Never, Umi.” The girl immediately shook her head. “If the enemy is yes,” he admitted and suddenly made Umi and Abah chuckle.
“Pardon Alif yes, Son. Alif is like that. Two children are different in nature. If his brother is friendly, kind, but if his sister ya—as Dara has known all this time. Other than others. But she was actually a family darling too.”
Dara nodded in understanding.
“But so far you guys are close?”
“Not really, Mi. Just know.” Dara answered honestly. So far as Dara knows, Alif is still in contact with Andari and also other women so she can say that the man was ‘playboy cap kampak’.
Not yet to get to any of their talks, Dara's family came and introduced themselves to each other. As a result, the conversation just cut off.
“Thank you, yes. Already want to come all the way here,” said Umi who is currently acquainted with Dara's mother.
“It's okay, all he said the Adek, want to see what Jakarta is like,” replied Ibu Dara while showing his second son who is still small.
“Well, who is this?” asked Umi Ros to the man who was standing in line with Dara at this time. “The first child?” said guessing. He never thought that he was the cause of Alif's heartbreak.
“Yes, the plan is so. Pray yes, Umi,” replied Ibu Dara smiled then added, “pal son-in-law.”
Umi Ros's smile instantly faded. He had even bagged the ring that Alif had given him since last night. Perhaps this is the cause that makes the second son avoid the place of the guarantee.
