"Boy home!" Iyan did not get off his bike.
"Don't stop by first Mas Iyan?" said Melati softly.
"No Mel, I have needs with my oldest brother." Iyan looked at the clock that was coiled around his wrist.
"All right, thank you." Melati smiled very sweetly.
"Together Mel." Iyan put a helmet on his head, smiled slightly and then passed.
Melati breathed a sigh of relief, that she would not forever have to struggle with the selfish Arka, hoping this was a beautiful start for Melati.
"Mother!" call Melati after opening the door, her mother has gone home first.
"Have you gone home, Mel?" new mom finished praying.
"Yes Ma'am, Iyan was ushered in." Melati kisses mom's back hand.
"Are you sure of your decision, Mel? Sure it won't be sad to decide Arka?" Nur's mother immediately asked, it seemed like it was holding her heart all day.
"No Ma'am, Melati's been thinking about it for a long time. Not because Mas Iyan came to propose, but Melati had long wanted to run away from this complicated relationship." Melati sat in the kitchen as usual, a fun place to chat with mom.
"Mom just wants you to have no regrets. Frankly Arka is also a good young man, he really loves you. It's just that he's not directed to be a man who holds true to principles and responsibilities." Mom sat down opposite Melati.
"Yes, maybe because they're people. And Melati does not want the dignity of the mother to be the subject of neighbor gossip, let this relationship end in order to end the neighbor gossip against us. Want the discussion about the blessing of his mother Mas Arka ended, we deserve fresh air in our own home, Melati will not let the neighbors continue to pollute him. That's enough of everything." Jasmine grabbed a glass and poured water in it.
"I'm sorry, Mel's mother, if people were like the Arka family, you wouldn't get this treatment" Mother said with a sad face.
"Delati never regretted it, for Melati mother is the most precious treasure." Melati clasped Mom's hand.
"Who's Mel? Like someone's calling." Nur's mother raised her face listening to people calling, but finally got up from the seat releasing Melati's hand.
Maybe the neighbors, so thought Melati. But it seems different from the way you welcome the arrival of people who are outside.
"Arka's Mas?" Melati heard if the voice of the person who came was Arka.
Mother returned to the kitchen by allowing a cloth wrapped around her waist. "Arka came with Mel's mother!" exclaim Mother in a whisper.
"What?" Melati was so incredulous that she rounded her eyes.
"You meet." asked Mom as she walked back to the living room where the two people were waiting.
Somehow the arrival of Arka makes Melati increasingly do not want to meet with the two. Melati did not know what to say if she met her mother Arka, was it not clear that this morning had severed their relationship? What else are they coming for?
Melati walked slowly towards her room, perhaps eavesdropping was the best option at the moment.
"How's Nak Arka? Did you talk to Melati?" ask Mother Nur well and slowly.
"Already Mom! Melati broke off our relationship, and preferred Iyan over me." replied Arka looking down miserably.
Ibu Nur took a deep breath, it could be honest if Ibu Nur felt sorry for Arka. Of course it was decided unilaterally by Melati was a terrible blow to him, so long together and met almost every day, now even had to separate.
"Mother does not know what the real problem is, of course, who can solve your problems is you, I just obey." Nur's mother can't talk much.
"Dek Nur, for the application problem, actually our purpose in coming here also wants to apply for Melati for Arka. About gold and thanksgiving money ever mentioned Arka that I have agreed, the important thing is Arka and Melati both like and can live happily" he said a little wrong, he was wrong, it was clear on the face of the woman who was still ayu that what she said kept a mistake. It could be said that it was too late after a long time Melati talked about the proposal to Arka, but it did not seem to get a good response from Arka and her family. And now, it even came after Iya proposed first.
"On that as well, I just think, Ma'am, it all depends on Melati." Ms. Nur tried to stay calm, not wanting to argue or blame each other.
"Then, can I meet Melati?" pinta Arka's mother.
"I'll call the guy right now." Mother Melati went inside. Make some warm tea for your guests.
"Come on Mel, meet Arka and her mother." asked Ibu Nur, Melati followed behind her mother
"Good Afternoon Mom!" Sapa Melati is gentle and polite. Jasmine came out in long, graceful clothes.
"Good afternoon Melati." Replied Arka's mother looked amazed by the appearance of Melati, clothes that were quite expensive, good and fitting, much different from all this time Melati was just plain dressed.
Likewise with Arka, the young man looked gaping looking at the grace of a Melati, surely Melati had finished buying new clothes. So thought Arka.
"Mel, we came to propose to you, are you willing to accept Arka? You guys have been dating for a long time." Arka's mother looked convinced.
"On that let us finish Ma'am, besides my relationship with Mas Arka is finished" replied Melati firmly.
"Maybe you are just misunderstanding, do not be too quick to make a decision so as not to regret it later on." persuaded his mother Arka again.
"Then we need to talk, ma'am, let us finish everything. If anyone is sorry in this relationship, of course it's Melati, we should not have known each other." replied Melati firmly but sound gently piercing.
"Don't be like that to Nduk! (don't be like that, son!)" arka's mother felt her heart flutter.
"Mas Arka is handsome, educated, and has many families. So it won't be hard for him to find a replacement for Melati."
"Mell!" Arka could not bear to hear the insinuating answer from her lover's mouth, especially talking to her mother.
"Delati is quite self-conscious Bu Dhe, that's why Melati chose to break up from Mas Arka" replied Melati subtly.
Looks all wrong from the ayu woman, but can not do anything more than her position is applying for Arka.
