It's Not My fault, Sir!
Tire 73. Floating Because Heeded
Juan Mahardika became increasingly concerned after all the passengers of the three cars got out of the car. They mostly hold hands that are likely to deliver the bride. The mind and heart begin to think of things that do not and do not necessarily happen.
Bude Marmi came and smiled to see the group of guests who came. Rushing Juan Mahardika approached Bude Marmi and stood beside him, "Who are they, Bude?"
"They are Mbah Darmi's guests, the house is behind."
'Why is parking here in the courtyard, making Juan afraid?' Fortunately, the question is only in the heart.
"Come on monggo-monggo, through kene wae!" Bude Marmi invites the group through an alley between the house and the car garage, "Injih, suwun matur." They answered simultaneously.
Juan Mahardika stroked the chest feeling relieved because what was feared did not happen. Walking gontai enter the house that is expected not to come. While looking back at the WA message sent to Elfa.
Walking with a smile after seeing the message turned out to be read. See the status is still online and hope there is an immediate answer.
"If not immediately reply, will Akak call ya, make you worry?" monologue Juan Mahardika himself while walking into the room.
Suddenly there was a notification sound of incoming WA messages after just closing the phone. With a smile reopened hope Elfa who answered the message. However, unfortunately not from him, but from Assistant Dwi Saputra sent an email about work.
"Bikin sprained anyway." Juan grumbled as he opened the email.
Email has not been read, there is a notification of WA messages from Elfa. Emails are not readable and of course choose to open WA from the heart. The company's problems can definitely be solved by Assistant Dwi Saputra.
With a smile opened WA Elfa's reply. There is one photo of Elfa holding a tiny newborn baby. Below the photo is the caption, "Don't forget the card, Uncle!"
Juan Mahardika quickly replied by writing a message, "Hurry home, we will buy gifts both!"
The message was sent directly by Elfa, but there was no answer. Again Juan Mahardika sent one more message, "If the baby is our son, how happy is the heart of Akak?"
Juan Mahardika chuckled as Elfa sent a message reply. The message is the face of a child who sticks out his tongue and looks funny, "El, you always make Akak's heart more attached to you, hurry home Akak misses the sound of your jutek!" monologue with a clean.
Through the twilight of Mami Mitha and Elfa just arrived home. Juan Mahardika could only hear the crisp sound of Elfa from inside the mosque. Azan time almost reverberated makes you have to be patient to meet.
There are still obstacles after finishing worship can not meet when worshiping together. Papi Alfarizi sat in front of Pakde Sarto facing the scriptures. Finally, sit next to the prospective in-laws intending to study.
"Please start, Mom!" pakde Sarto to Papi Alarizi.
"Yes." Yeah."
Juan Mahardika was stunned to hear Papi Alfarizi's sweet voice chanting divine kalam. Just the first time I heard the first verse it felt creepy. Glancing at the Solar Assistant and Assistant Dwi Saputra sitting beside Pakde Sarto also listened solemnly.
The heart felt cool and serene hearing the voice of Papi Alfarizi. The mind can be calm, peaceful and serene as if reluctant to move from the seat after half an hour has passed. Keiginan learned to be more excited after hearing the chant of the divine nature of Papi Alfarizi.
At eight in the evening at dinner, Juan Mahardika was only able to meet Elfa. The girl who was missed all day was helping Mami Mitha make her favorite papa treats. Chicken opor, ground sambal, and shrimp crackers.
"This is Papi's favorite chicken opor," said Elfa put a large bowl of chicken opor.
"Thank you, son. Must be special El's cuisine."
"Special dong, this is chicken opor kampung, Pi."
This time Juan Maharika did not dare to seduce because there was a prospective in-law, just smiling while looking at Elfa. Didn't expect the girl can cook a favorite menu. Imagine someday being able to serve your favorite meat steak as well.
"Let's go!" the Pakde Sarto Order.
"What else, Pi?"
"Thank you enough, Mommy."
"Together."
Take the rice and side dishes alternately especially the older ones first. Juan Mahardika is still waiting for the family to take turns patiently. Prefer to look at Elfa who is still pacing add a menu that lives a little at the table.
Mami Mitha had not yet fed a spoonful of rice after seeing Juan Mahardika's plate still empty, "El get rice for Nak Juan, see the plate is still empty!"
"Yes a minute, Mommy. El wants to take your herbs first."
The herb Bude Marmi was placed in front of Juan Mahardika. Elfa sat down directly between Juan Mahardika and Papi Alfarizi, "Will I have chicken opor or meat rendang?"
"Porch chicken without rice."
"How come you don't use rice?" ask Bude Marmi.
"Later on that potato-fried chili, Bude." Juan Mahardika pointed at the fried sambal in front of him.
"That's spicy, I'll have a stomachache again. Eat boiled corn only later after you finish eating chicken opor!"
Juan Mahardika felt drifting because of attention. Sick diarrhea that brings happy murmurs in the heart, "Well, Akak go with El alone.where is the corn?"
"Still on the boil."
Enjoy eating quietly and without making a sound. Only occasionally talk when you are allowed to add the desired rice or side dish. The rest is just the sound of clanking spoons and forks clashing.
After the meal, the family and two assistants moved into the living room and continued to talk. Papi Alfarizi and Mami Mitha had already finished eating, but were still enjoying a cup of coffee. Juan Mahardika still enjoys freshly cooked boiled corn.
Elfa helps Bude Marni pick up an empty plate and is taken to the dishwasher. Other families wash dishes. Elfa sat back down after picking up melons and mangoes that had been peeled and diced.
"Mommy, Papi. Which one will you choose?"
"Mommy mangoes only."
"Bapi both want to."
"What do you want?"
"Just melon, thank you."
While enjoying the melon, Juan Mahardika's heart beat fast after at the dinner table only four people. Remembering this morning when Papi Alfarizi bluntly approved of the relationship with Elfa. Mami MItha will also approve.
Now only to struggle to get blessing on the eldest son Papi Alfarizi. Only unfortunately, it still did not find the right way to approach Abang Alfian Alfarizi. I hope one day I can talk without emotion.
Juan Mahardika gasped in shock at Papi Alfarzi's command in a stern voice, "El, Juan. Papi wants you to get married here this week!"
'Yes!' Unfortunately Juan Mahardika only cheered inwardly.
Elfa shouted in surprise, "What ...?"
