“Tonight I did not go home. Direct to Bogor .. “ short message Bisma caught Ajeng in the silence of the night.
Already the umpteenth time Bhishma sent a short message if not to go home. There is no desire to retaliate. He understood, the chat that Bisma sent only as a notification that does not require a return. He put the phone back on the nightstand next to the bed.
With a tired feeling he lies down next to his little daughter Lala who is already asleep in the arms of the night. Her fingers stroked Lala's hair with affection. If it wasn't for her mother-in-law and Mayang, her kind-hearted sister-in-law, it would have been hard for her to continue their three-year marriage.
From the beginning of the marriage, Ajeng tried to dive into the cold and quiet character of Bisma. Their marriage was not on the basis of liking, but because of matchmaking.
Feeling like he got a crumbling durian, Ajeng who is just an ordinary person is sure of the happiness he gets if he successfully marries Bhishma. Their introduction was quite short, for one month with Nurita mama-in-law who combated their relationship.
The initial meeting with Nurita, his mother Bisma occurred when Mayang came to take him to open a new account at the bank where he scavenged for fortune once he finished college.
As a good customer service, Ajeng serves both of them in a friendly manner. Nurita, a perfectionist, continues to ask questions that don't even have anything to do with account opening.
Patiently Ajeng served all and answered Nurita's questions politely and kindly.
“Adek is married?” suddenly Nurita's question made Ajeng surprised.
He did not expect the grand mistress whose appearance was so fashionable to ask such a question. He has not yet answered, yet,
“No need to respond to questions mama mbak,” chirps Mayang.
He did not want his mother to waste time CS officers who were working professionally in serving new customers. He is sure, his mother's new hobby of betrothing his stone sister is not over. Any woman who draws her heart will shoot right then and there. Though Mayang sure, not necessarily Bhishma agreed with the wishes of his mother.
“Eh, you don't interfere with your mama's business. This time mama is sure this girl matches the character of your sister's refrigerator,” Nurita whispered with a sewot towards her.
Mayang smiled as he nodded his head at Ajeng who looked at him and his mother with a wrinkled eel. The woman's voice was astonished to see the feud that was happening in front of her.
In Mayang's heart, he believed that what his mother said was right. The complete package is on the friendly CS figure in front of him. Her face is ayu and sweet, not tired of looking especially when smiling.
“If his family matre how?” Mayang tried to scare his mother, “Now many events you know ma .. allegedly the perempuan is good, the taunya pierced from behind, hi.. cringe .... “
He was bored, already dozens of girls that he and his mother met to end the single Bisma who is now 32 years old. He himself was amazed by the stone, the nickname he gave to his only child sister Bisma who was still single at an age that was quite established for a household.
He knows, the sense of responsibility of Bhishma as a boy who had to protect both women who were very meaningful in his life after the death of his father two years ago made his sister so hard in life. Bhishma as if punishing himself not to get involved in a romantic relationship.
Since childhood, Bisma has been a nerd, so when finishing school, the school made him never have a girlfriend. And he believes, in a relationship with women will only spend time with various dramas in it.
He is not inexhaustible with the way of thinking of Bhishma. She and her husband Rudi immediately married after finishing college S1. Automatically it has been ten years he and Rudi together, but Yang Kuasa has not allowed the two to have offspring.
Maybe because each activity in the world of work makes the two rarely have time together, so when returning to the physical house is tired with all the work that is undertaken every day.
“No problem. Our treasure is enough for ten descendants,” Nurita again whispered with annoyance to refute the words of her daughter.
This time he was confident in his choice. There is no pretense in the attitude of young girls who have entered their target as dream daughters-in-law in the future.
For three days he came in a row to observe the activities and daily life of the girl he knew named Ajeng Lestari Handayani. There is no difference in the service the girl does to every customer who needs her help.
The adab the girl had actually made her fall in love. There have been many girls recommended by the family, as well as the neighborhood entrepreneurs he met. But Ajeng has stolen his heart since he first met.
“Mother, is there a problem?” Ajeng looked at the parobaya woman who had strong charisma before him.
“Yes, the problem is I want to make you a ghost,” shoot Nurita directly.
He did not want to let his mind play alone, because he did not know the CS status he had clicked.
“Mama ... “ Mayang said, not expecting her mother to be frank with a girl they do not know her origin.
“Sorry mom,” Ajeng put both hands on the chest, because it is uncomfortable with Mayang's attitude that looks hard.
“Let's deck Ajeng break what time? Mom wait in the front cafe huh?” hope Nurita, “Mama doesn't want any rejection. If you are married, my mother is sincere. But if you're lying, Mama won't be dealing in this bank anymore.... “
“Ih, mama played threatened again,” timpal Mayang shook his head with the hardness of his mother's head.
Now he knew, the nature of the stone head of Bhishma came down from the mother. It is only fitting that if his opinion is A, mama will not be denied.
Forced Ajeng smiled in response to the fashionable woman in front of him. Priority customer that he should serve as best as possible.
“Good ma'am. At 12 noon I will meet my mother at the front cafe.”
Warm conversations full of family sense just flow. Nurita who he saw as a socialite woman was so friendly and open in talking to him. Mayang who looked like a judge in their several meetings also now showed the hospitality and elegance of a high-class woman in his eyes.
Before continuing his intention to make Ajeng as a ghost, Nurita introduced himself and Mayang and his only son Bisma who until the age of three heads have not found a mate.
Nurita tells the story of her family life without a husband who had first been called Yang Kukasa. Ajeng enthusiastically heard the story of parobaya women who have now also captured his attention.
The departure of his mother when he was still Junior High made him a strong figure for his sister Dimas who was new to the V class SD.
The love that has been in the possession of his father Prapto Darmojo makes him reluctant to marry again. He wanted to deliver both of his children to higher education in order to live life better, than he was just an ordinary farmer.
With determination and a strong spirit to make his father proud, Ajeng now managed to become an employee in one of the government banks. He has worked for 4 years, with an income that made him established and helped build a permanent home for his father and Dimas in one of the villages in Kediri district.
At the first meeting with Bhishma, how he could not cover his pleasure. It felt like he wanted to jump so happy that he would be betrothed to a man who in his eyes was so perfect without flaws and blemishes.
A bit of conversation in the past again reflected on Ajeng's face when that night he invited Nurita to dinner at his residence.
At the dining table he saw a handsome male figure sitting with a sharp look at him.
“Nak Ajeng, introduce. This is Bisma mama's son,” Nurita brought Ajeng to stand in front of Bisma.
With a friendly smile that he is used to do to customers make Ajeng casually greet Bhishma.
“Goodnight mas... “ greet Ajeng.
Reluctantly Bhishma accepted Ajeng's handshake and continued to eat him again. Ajeng did not take much heart of the treatment of Bhishma at that time. Nurita had reminded her that her youngest son was a stiff man and not good at small talk.
