With a little hesitation I set foot to meet his mother Awan. Arka followed my steps from behind. I gave my smile to Awan's mother. He stood up when I was in front of him. I opened the door and let her in and sat in the living room but she refused with a smile.
"Here it is, beautiful" said Mother Cloud and I did not want to force her to go inside.
I then allowed Awan's mother to sit down. Arka inwards then come out with two glasses of warm lemon tea.
"I stay, Kas." said Arka after putting his drink on the table.
"You're the future husband of Love?" asked Awan's mother.
"Yes Aunty" replied Arka with a smile.
"Good, could you ask for a minute? I also have to talk to you" said Bu Awan and kept Arka.
After a quiet atmosphere, until the mother Awan explained the purpose of his arrival. He told us about his business that was a little shake up, all because he thought Awan could not focus on work and was just busy taking care of me. Because of this, it also affected his father who so often had a heart attack and often in and out of the hospital.
"Sorry Mom, none of this has anything to do with love. It's just how the clouds manage their lives" Arka said in self-defense.
"Yes, but you're wrong, you know that Love is his girlfriend Awan, why would you want to be betrothed to Love?" reply to the mother of the Clouds with a stressful tone on the Ark.
"Sorry Mom, this is my decision. I could have rejected this matchmaking but due to some considerations, I finally agreed to it," I replied not to defend Arka but rather to assert her true circumstances.
Mother Awan then told how ugly the values of the Cloud during High School. Initially Awan had no intention to go to college and should not pass the test when entering university but because their families are the biggest funders at the university, it must have been very easy for the Clouds to get in there.
Then Awan met me again and since then the spirit of the Clouds was encouraged to really go to college and want to learn to lead their family company. The goal from the beginning was just to be a proud husband for me, who could meet all my needs and be able to make me happy. Indeed Awan undoes the intention to hunt me from the beginning because the Cloud wants to prepare himself as best as possible to become the best husband candidate for Love.
After a long relationship with a boyfriend, when we were considered old enough to start a household, Awan then declared his love for me as soon as possible to marry me. But unfortunately, the father refused on the grounds of arranged marriage that had been arranged by my family. Actually Awan was never offended by the decision because the father also rejected it well and politely and at that time I also seemed to be willing to fight for our relationship.
But Awan began to be careless when he knew the person I was betrothed to was Arka, someone he knew and trusted so much. Especially when they know that their family is also a business competitor.
The clouds began not to focus on his work, every night always come home drunk, he seemed to lose his way. But he always tried to get me back because he knew, in this matchmaking there was no love from me for Arka.
"What basis do you accept it?" ask the mother of the clouds.
"I just want to make my parents happy" I replied and suddenly tears flowed from my eyes.
With tears in my eyes I then told how the father who although with a heavy heart began to agree not to continue this matchmaking. But after that my father often became seriously ill until his death to pick him up. I just want to fulfill my father's last wish. I also feel that everything will be fine because Arka is also very good to me.
"You're a good boy, love. Mommy just wanted to make sure that your decision wasn't wrong. Regarding the Clouds, let it be a mommy affair," Awan's mother said as she hugged me.
"You take good care of him, if you can't make Love happy, tell me" he continued to Arka.
Mother Awan then left after her driver came to pick her up. I could only look at him without knowing what to say. I thought he would be so angry like an emotional Cloud, it turned out that he was very magnanimous and very meek.
"You're sure I can take good care of you, right?" arka asked when Awan's mother was completely gone.
"Yes, I know you're a good man" I replied.
A little while Arka was silent and then asked to drink a glass of water to wet her throat.
"Yes, I'm going home first. Fine, Kas, you should be happy" said Arka as she gently patted the top of my head.
I sighed, not knowing when my story and the Clouds would end. I honestly feel pretty tired with all this. Especially when I knew Cloud's life was falling apart because of me.
"Who's Kas?" asked Rayi who had appeared in front of me.
"That's iki's jerky, not that one. The mothers before," said Rayi a little gemes.
"Oh, the cloud's mommy," I replied as I exhaled.
I then told Rayi what had just happened. Rayi who usually commented was silent, it seemed like she knew that this was a severe matter. It is difficult to find the right solution to all these problems. He also felt sorry for Cloud's mother.
"Where have you been all day?" rayi asked trying to shift the subject.
"The same way Arka is with her mother in preparation for the wedding" I replied.
"Where's the shopping?" rayi asked as his eyes swept into the house.
"Still in the house of Arka. I have a uniform for you. Still material anyway, later enter only at the place of Bu RT. The stitching is good." I said and was greeted with a smile by Rayi.
...****************...
Mr. RT seemed to be washing his motorcycle with a flat expression and heard the sound of Ms. RT nagging from inside the house. Mr. RT seemed to ignore the inner voice of a wife and just assume it was just a radio sound that was ignited just to eliminate the quiet atmosphere.
"Te, if it's safe?" rayi asked after Mr. RT warmly welcomed our arrival.
"Why indeed?" asked Mr. RT confused by Rayi's question.
"Your love just nagged, we're just civilians, afraid of the impact Te," Rayi half whispered to Mr. RT.
"Ooo.my lover was just a screaming practice, wanted to be a heavy metal vocalist. What do you want first?" ask Mr. RT.
"You get in the stitches," Rayi replied as she showed me a package containing cloth.
"Oh if you want to give me a job, it's safe. Later heavy metal can automatically replace calming nyinden," said Mr. RT.
Rayi and I went in to see RT. Sure enough, as usual Ms. RT greeted us calmly and put on her sweet smile. Rayi then handed over the fabric material and the model he downloaded from the internet.
"When?" ask Bu RT
"About a month away" Rayi replied.
"It looks like that, next week also has been this round," said Ms. RT
"So Mama Kasih Kasih Mas Arka?" ask Mr. RT who has been out since when.
"That's what....Mas Arka is white, handsome, his son is good again. If I was a virgin, I would be like her" Ms. RT said
"Change me mbak, Mas Arka let my lover, you are my same. My wife is happy, I am not papa. Sincere!," said Mr. RT again who was greeted with laughter by all.
"Loss in my dong, Te." I said offset.
"I want to take care of Te's letters. My ID card is here" I said.
"Udah, just passrahin same to me. Ma'am Kasih tau done that," said Mr. RT while pointing OK symbol with his finger.
"Oh, soon in pingit dong," said Bu RT teasing me.
I just smiled, time is indeed very fast passing, it feels like everything happened suddenly. They were soon cut off and then married.
