Unknown Love's

Marketplaces

It's been two weeks since the Kinara and Erlangga dinners, and it's been two weeks since Kinara's meeting with Farhan's mother.

The presence of the two men who simultaneously expressed his desire to marry Kinara, made Kinara's days even more uncertain. There was not a single one of those two hints that Kinara answered. Kinara was confused, even though she had not tried to talk to her parents.

Drrr....

Kinara's phone vibrated, there's a phone coming in. Her mother's name is on the screen.

"Assalamualaikum, mum....",.Kinara opened her voice. His mother's voice from afar answered Kinara's greeting.

"Oh yeah? when do you want to go home?", asked Kinara quickly. He is very happy to hear his mother will return to Bandung in the near future, complete with his father and sister, Alisa

"The plan is for the mother and father to leave this Thursday, Ra", explained the mother.

"Well, fun. Then the day after tomorrow, I've come here. I want special souvenirs there dong bu", Kinara said.

"Yes, I'll bring it. I want to tell you about that, Aj, Ra. Mom still has work. Later if you leave, I tell you again, Ra".

"Yes ma'am, Kinara wait a minute", they ended the conversation.

On Thursday morning, Kinara already seemed busy tidying up the entire house until the front yard. His parents' room and his sister's room did not forget he was settled.

This morning after cleaning the house, he planned to go to the market. He wanted to welcome the arrival of both his parents and his sister with a delicious dish.

"Yup, done. Now it's time for me to take a shower and go to the market" Kinara said to herself.

It did not take long, Kinara was ready to take out his favorite motorcycle.

Drr...drrttt.

It looks like the name Ajeng is on his mobile phone screen.

"Hallo Jeng, why?", asked Kinara.

"Aren't you home, Ra? I want to go out" answered Ajeng.

"I want to go to the market again, would you like to come?", bargained Kinara.

"Well, can you. I'm ready for Ra. Pick me up to my house, ok?", cried Ajeng girang.

"Ok", Kinara hung up.

Before long, Kinara was already in front of Ajeng's house. It looks like Ajeng's mother is watering flowers on the front page.

"Assynoltom....Morning, auntie", greet Kinara.

"Vaalaikumusalam....Eh Kinara yes, want to see Ajeng?", replied Ajeng's mother turned her eyes to Kinara.

Kinara nodded and smiled.

"Hi Ra's. Ma, I want to go out first yes, the same way Kinara to the market", Ajeng appeared suddenly, surprising his mother and Kinara.

His mother simply nodded, watching her daughter pass by with Kinara.

"Tumben Ra you to market everything. Want to shop a lot huh?", asked Ajeng on the bike.

"Yes. Today my parents are with my sister coming from Semarang" replied Kinara.

"Hooo. Eh if there are souvenirs, I want dong", Todong Ajeng without shame.

Kinara just nodded her head. It only took 20 minutes, they had already arrived at the market. Kinara parked his motor.

"Let's help me bring some groceries, Jeng, let's get some souvenirs", teased Kinara while removing her helmet.

"Yes siiiaaappp", answered Ajeng quickly.

"Wwiihh..this is already the cake to be aja Ra", said Ajeng while lifting two large swipes of groceries in his hand.

Kinara just smiled knot. Today he plans to make chicken pepes, vegetable chops, fried noodles and potato parchments. All of them are her family's favorite Indonesian food.

"Hi, Ra", a voice surprised Kinara as she was choosing vegetables and kitchen spices.

Kinara looked over, and so did Ajeng. Farhan seemed to be standing next to her, showing off her sweet smile complete with both dimples.

"Eh Han, hi too", Kinara replied with a smile. There was an awkward feeling that suddenly alighted when Kinara's gaze collided with Farhan. Two weeks after the meeting, the two did not meet and did not greet each other even though only by phone or short message. Now, suddenly they meet accidentally in the market.

"Are you shopping, Ra?", asked Farhan.

"Yes, Han. Today my parents came, so yes I deliberately shop here to cook to welcome their arrival. What are you here for yourself?", explained Kinara, he looked at Farhan who was also carrying several large bags of crackles.

"I again nemenin mom shopping too. Ordinary, routine for stock catering" replied Farhan. Kinara nodded her head.

"Dih, I'm dicuekinnih", Ajeng upset, since earlier did not get a greeting.

"Eh sorry Jeng, invisible", Farhan smiled.

"Emang the heck you know Han, if you have met Kinara aja, yes already, forgot the same around", replied Ajeng while glancing his eyes.

Kinara nudged Ajeng's arm, she knew Ajeng was just joking. The three of them laughed together.

"Han, you're here anyway. I looked around for a little kirain", Farhan's mother's voice came.

"Good day, ma'am", said Kinara while bowing her body slightly.

"Hi aunty", Ajeng said hello.

"Lho, there you are here. The girl again on shopping as well anyway", Farhan's mother looked at the friendly Kinara and Ajeng. Kinara immediately clasped Farhan's mother's right hand, kissing the hand followed by Ajeng in turn.

"Yes ma'am, shopping to welcome the arrival of Kinara's parents" Farhan explained. His mother nodded her head.

"It is good to go shopping to the market. Rarely do girls today want to enter the market" Farhan's mother said again.

"Yes aunty, fun turns out to be shopping in that market. Everything exists", Ajeng's response.

Farhan's mother smiled to see Kinara and Ajeng who had been carrying several bags of crackles.

"Yes, in the market all our needs exist, the price is cheaper than in the supermarket. If you are used to the market, the dream ghost candidate really" praise his mother Farhan.

"Oh that's aunty. Ehm...who is the candidate of the aunt later? can dong I register, already want to enter the market", Ajeng back chattering silly.

Again, Kinara nudged Ajeng's arm. Farhan smiled hearing Ajeng's words.

"Whoever is it, may Farhan have a good wife, pray, yes", replied Farhan's mother.

"There's more to buy, ma'am?", Farhan switched the conversation. He knew Kinara was not comfortable with the discussion, her facial water changed slightly, especially Kinara had not given an answer to her proposal two weeks ago.

"Oh yes, there's still a son. We go there, buy some fruit" Farhan's mother pointed east of the market. Farhan nodded, before long, Farhan and his mother said goodbye to Kinara and Ajeng who were still standing in the grassy field.

"Eh Ra, Farhan is yes, absolutely the perfect guy. Try to shadow, gini day, where there are boys who want to nganterin his mother shopping to the market and bring a lot of groceries. Duh, if I am the one who was turned into a ghost, will not refuse, suer", whispered Ajeng.

For a moment Kinara fell silent at Ajeng's words. What Ajeng said about Farhan was true, as a man, Farhan had everything. He is handsome, intelligent, supple, and most importantly, loves his mother and respects women. Any woman would easily fall for him.

Degs....

Suddenly Kinara's heart was pounding with excitement considering Farhan, the shadow of his face flashed in Kinara's memory. He tried to calm himself down, hiding a red tinge that suddenly appeared on his face, lucky, Ajeng did not realize that.

'Is my heart starting to accept it? Farhan.', Kinara whispered to herself.
