Grabbing Dreams
Chapter 33 THE PLAN OF MATCHMAKING

"Oh yeah nduk, when do you think you can go home again?"

Kanaya drank a warm tea that her mother made for her fried-meat friend that afternoon. The two of them chatted leisurely on the front porch while watching his younger siblings playing in the courtyard.

"Maybe next month Nay can try to go home again to see you, ma'am. God willing if you get permission from the office. Why, mom?"

"Ah, that's okay. I'm just asking."

The mother continued the work of cutting vegetables to cook tomorrow morning. The plan, Kanaya's mother will start selling rice again tomorrow because since her husband is sick, she can not sell anymore.

Tin.tin...

A car stopped in front of the house. Mr. Dibyo and Galih got out of the car while carrying some stuff.

"Assalamualaikum." exclaimed the two as soon as they reached the porch of the house.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Let's go in, mas Galih." take Kanaya politely.

The two of them entered and were welcome to sit in the living room while Kanaya went inside to call the father.

After changing clothes Kanaya immediately met Dibyo and Galih in the living room.

"How's pakde doing?" tanya Galih opened the chat.

"Okay, le. As you can see, the more days your body feels healthier."

"Alhamdulillah."

"Look, Karno and mbakyu, my arrival and Galih this afternoon here have a certain purpose and purpose as we talked about on the phone yesterday."

Kanaya looked at the mother, because honestly she did not understand what Dibyo was talking about.

"Look, yesterday we talked about you."

"meaning, mom? Nay doesn't understand."

Kanaya increasingly did not understand where this conversation was headed. He was waiting for an explanation from his mother.

"Nay, you're all grown up now. And I see that you are still alone. We intend to match you with Galih's son. What do you think, nduk?"

Alrrrrr!!!! It was as if a bomb had exploded in Kanaya's heart. He was surprised not to hear the mother's words.

"In..stupid...right, mom?"

"Well, it's dibyo mas, Kanaya is very shy of her child" said the mother while stroking her daughter's hair.

"Look at Kanaya. We're not asking for your answer right now. Think carefully before making a decision. Galih is willing to wait. Aren't you, le?" sir Dibyo.

Kanaya is speechless. His tongue feels ugly. He was still shocked to hear this news.

"Yes, Kanaya. I'm willing to wait until you're ready." added Galih trying to convince.

Oh God, what should I do? Why is everything like this? 😢

...***...

Kanaya sat pensively in the room. In front of him was a small dark blue box containing a gift ring from Galih earlier.

It's a binding ring, ' muttered Kanaya.

Soon the mother entered the room and sat down in front of Kanaya. He saw his daughter daydreaming.

"What's up, nduk? How do you seem to be so hard?"

"Ah, not ma'am. Nay it's okay" he said lying.

"Tell me, nduk. Don't keep it to yourself."

Kanaya looked at her mother's face and hugged her tightly.

"I'm sorry Nay ya ma'am" Kanaya said as she sobbed. Her tears began to pour down her cheeks.

"What's up to nduk?"

"Actually Nay already has someone Nay loves, ma'am. He's in Jakarta. His name is Reino."

Now it was the mother's turn to be surprised to hear Kanaya's confession. He did not expect that his daughter had a lover without his knowledge.

"Is it true nduk?! Why didn't you ever tell mom?"

"Nay has not been able to tell the story because all Nay thought about so far was the healing of father mother."

Kanaya wiped the tears from both her cheeks. While the mother was still silent not knowing what to say, because she had already convinced Dibyo and her son that Kanaya must have agreed to the match.

"Sir, you better rest now huh. Mom and dad would like to talk first to find a way out."

"No, ma. Don't say anything to me, Father. Nay is afraid that the father will be surprised and many thoughts, can recur the pain of mom. Again you must feel bad for Dibyo sirde because of his help to our family."

"You are also really nduk. Duh Gusti what should I do." said Kanaya's mother confused before exiting the room.

"Sir, the sound continues from earlier." exclaimed the sister as she ran and handed the phone to Kanaya.

Rita Calling....

"Hello, Nay!"

"Ritaaa..hiks."

"Loh.kok even cry Nay. Don't like me calling?"

"No, Rit. I want you to call. I need to confide again now." replied Kanaya sounding sad.

"What's the matter, Nay?"

"Rit, I'm being fooled by my parents."

"Whataaaa???!!" rita exclaimed in shock, "Don't joke, Nay! What is the fate of Mr Reino?"

"I'm also confused now, Rit. I like the same with Reino. There's no way I'm accepting anyone else."

Rita was twitching her forehead which suddenly felt shrill.

"She must be very angry, Nay if this horror." said Rita shuddered in horror at the anger of her boss.

"Don't tell him Rit. I don't want him to misunderstand."

"Okay, but what are you gonna do about Nay?"

Kanaya was silent because honestly at this time she herself was confused as to what to do. On the one hand, he is already in love with Reino but on the other hand, he has to keep the feelings of both his parents.

It is like the fruit of simalakama, the mind of Kanaya is sad.

"I don't know, Rit. Tonight I have to think about this matter carefully."

"You're patient, Nay. Surely God loves the best way for you." said Rita gave encouragement to her friend.

"Thank you, Rit. I'll hang up on him."
