The bisma is still sitting in the VIP invitation chair looking at the guests who are still chatting with the two brides who have now blended together in the VIP seats that are already empty.
He saw the two were very happy with a smile that always grew when talking to business colleagues who came to congratulate.
His gaze circled the entire room. His mind had not calmed down before getting an answer to the question that still hung in his mind.
From his current sitting position he saw the man he still did not know his name was walking with a plate filled with rice and side dishes and a glass of drinking water.
His eyes continued to follow the young man's movements until he stood right in front of Ajeng who was talking to Lala.
With her own eyes, Bhishma witnessed the attention given to the little family who had been with her first. He saw Ajeng welcoming the man's gift with a smile.
The young man immediately grabbed Lala into his lap, and gestured for Ajeng to feed his little daughter who instantly opened her mouth with sparkling eyes.
“So troublesome mas Fajar .... “ Ajeng looked at Dawn with an uncomfortable feeling especially under the gaze of the Nurita big family.
“Casual aja mbak. Kasian Lala, since the afternoon has not eaten ... “ she replied lightly while stroking Lala's hair that rests comfortably on her chest.
Ajeng's feelings were not untouchable for the attention Fajar showed him and Lala. But he was self-conscious, the Dawn of a single man, while he himself was a widow.
Although he knows, the support of Ranti's extended family has been obtained by Dawn to start with him. Not immediately he received a helping hand and opened his heart again.
The experience of knowing two men who had stopped at the heart even though not to stay forever makes Ajeng reluctant to start again. Too many wounds and tears that accompany his days, to mature himself with the rigor that is now a solid fortress that he built so as not to fall twice.
Since the cooperation that was established with the campus until the establishment of ITS mart, he and several MSME actors around Surabaya were involved as distributors to supply the needs of ITS mart. Because the cooperation that is established makes Ajeng have a routine agenda to visit the famous campus.
Not infrequently he was often asked to fill a public lecture about MSMEs, because of his already undoubted football. This is done by the campus to grow the spirit of entrepreneurship in students who will face the world of work that is so hard.
But even the grapevine of uncomfortable gossip began to develop there. The dawn that always accompanies him in every activity makes them considered lovers, of course he becomes uncomfortable. To maintain her calmness, Ajeng forced Audina to take her place.
“When else to visit campus?” the Dawn Question prunes Ajeng's daydreams.
“Ya .. ?” he looked back at the Dawn that was now looking at him.
The smiling dawn looked at him. He knew, with failure in building a household made Ajeng too closed himself. He also did not demand and hope that soon the young woman who had stolen some of his heart gave an answer to all the good faith that he conveyed.
Dawn just wants to live like flowing water. If indeed their soul mate together, like water. And he was sure that time would come in his life.
“Don't think too much of my speech the other day. Maybe mbak still need time,” Dawn said slowly to see the eternal that emanated in Ajeng's face, “Consider the wind then.”
“Thankful .... “ Ajeng breathed a sigh of relief.
“But I wait for it to be ready,” the voice of Dawn with a genuine smile makes Ajeng again stunned.
“Sorry .... “ Ajeng now reply to the gaze of Dawn so shady, “I can not promise anything.”
The dawn relaxed. In his heart he persisted to wait for Ajeng's readiness to accept everything he offered. How could he look for another, if all the criteria he sought were in the woman who now tries to avoid him.
The eyes of the bisma cannot escape their interaction. He is still guessing the relationship between Ajeng and the man he currently still does not know his identity.
“Pak Wirya ... “ Ardi's voice sounded strong in Bisma's ears as her mind was still drifting about Ajeng and the man she was with.
He looked at the entrance. Seemed a group consisting of several men dressed in black, one person dressed in batik motifs and ....
“Wah, our special guest from Bandung has arrived,” the sound of his papa Dedi Ardi makes both brides rise from his seat.
Inevitably Bisma also walked over to Wirya and of course her proud daughter who had a shaky appearance that night.
“Congratulations to both brides,” Wirya's voice is immediately heard greeting Ardi and Mayang.
“Congratulations to mbak Mayang and mas Ardi. Samawa always well ... “ spoiled sound Siska makes Mayang want to ngacir.
But how else, she must appreciate her husband's special guest. Although in his heart he is very dislike the woman in his eyes so much trying to attract the attention of his sister ‘batu’nya.
“Mas Bismaa ...” the soft voice of her rowing called Bisma who had just spoken to Ranti.
“Tuh your candidate,” Ranti put her thumb on Bhishma, “This year your mama will have two daughters-in-law.”
“Tante ...” shamelessly Siska approached Bisma and Ranti who were still engaged in conversation.
Though Bisma has disposed of the ego by approaching Ranti. He was sure that the aunt knew the man who was with Ajeng, even the twins Ghea and Gina were so relaxed joking with the man.
“Finally arrived at this house .... “ Siska can not hide her pleasure, “Mas, later take me around the city yes, like our time in London ..”
Ranti immediately looked at Bisma with her death wink. He was increasingly convinced that his uncle and the beautiful woman had a special relationship.
Bisma shook her head with Ranti's deathly gaze. He didn't want his aunt to misinterpret Siska's words.
“Please enjoy the meal dr. Siska,” Ranti said with a smile, “Mbok yes candidate known with family to...”
Hearing Ranti's words makes Siska happy not playing. He felt his presence was so appreciated by the Bhishma family. Everyone greeted him politely and kindly. His desire to be a part of this family is growing.
“Dek Siska is finished?” ardi's question greeted the two as Bhishma and Siska approached the two brides.
“Iya. Pray only this year ride pelaminan like mas and mbak Mayang,” said Siska sumringah.
“Wah, nice it. Cuisine pray deck Siska meet the matching soul mate,” Ardi was also happy to hear his words.
Siska is the daughter of Wirya Dinata. So he believes that the man who has now become a member of the provincial council will be selective in choosing a son-in-law.
“Do not worry mas, I have met my future imam,” said Siska confidently, “Mas pray aja smoga smoothly until pelaminan ..”
“Do you know the person?” Ardi became curious about Siska's words.
He knew the young girl in front of him. With all the facilities and luxuries given by his father, Siska became famous throughout Bandung.
Elite clubs that exist and can only be entered by people with money, is a subscription kongkow with other official children. And it's no secret anymore, that they used to spend the night together.
Seeing Mayang's sour face while glancing at Bisma made Ardi understand, that the little girl who was mistaken for cupu turned out that temperature had determined his future candidate.
Ardi so uncomfortable to see the usual Bhishma attitude, even impressed cold. Moreover, little did he know, that his sister-in-law was still reluctant to start after her failure to marry.
“How long is it planned in Surabaya?” finally Ardi switched their conversation.
“Nih, again compromise with the driver who is ready to take me around Surabaya,” Siska glancing Bisma spoiled.
“Sorry dr. Siska, maybe tomorrow afternoon I will return to Bogor. There is still a lot of work that I have to finish later this month,” stressed Bisma.
“Don't be too ngoyo, son. All can be arranged,” between Wirya who suddenly approached the four of them, “Papa can contact your head of service, Mr. Hendarto. He's papa's close friend. Take Siska around knowing your hometown..”.
Ardi felt uncomfortable hearing Wirya's words that simplify the work of others. He knew his wife's family could not be forced. Because of his struggle for Mayang to receive his proposal is also not easy. And he has great respect for his family-in-law.
There is a sense of regret inviting the presence of Wirya Dinata on this special day. But how else, it all happened. And as a person who knows their family life, Ardi also does not want to interfere in the affairs of the romance of his sister-in-law and guests who he considers special.
From the cold face of his wife he has concluded that there is no place for a group of people who like Wirya Dinata in his wife's extended family. And he was very, very grateful to be accepted as part of the Nurita family.
