Watch Out for Falling in Love
Pulang Kampung's

Since morning blind, Andra has prepared several pieces of clothing lined up on a mattress, a novel that is still read, and a laptop. After bathing and praying shubuh, he immediately cleaned his luggage into two bags, namely a carrying case and a laptop bag. Apparently he was getting ready to go home that Sunday morning.

Since Saturday, his mother asked him to come home because of a family event. Andra's first brother is going to propose to his girlfriend on Monday. Not wanting to make his family disappointed, Andra was forced to ask for a sudden leave of absence from his superiors. However, he forgot not to tell Aydan.

The plan was before his mother called earlier, Andra wanted to make a missing person ad about Irvan. He had to delay. Including other plans to drive Kalina out of Aydan's apartment. A mature plan has been made. So after saying goodbye to his two best friends, he immediately went using a travel car invitation.

In the middle of the trip Aydan called him and complained, why he was not in the boarding house when he came to visit. Its absence is precisely known from other boarding residents.

"Why not talk if you want to go to Bandung? You know, I can take you," lamented Aydan disappointed when he called him.

"Sorry, I forgot. Was hasty. Anyway I'm not ready to introduce you to my family, Mas," he said.

"Yes, I'm your office friend."

"Patience, Mas. There is still time to see my family. Can't wait to see a camer?" kelakar Andra's.

"Yes yes dong. I want to know what your family is like. Especially your mother who has made our relationship forced to stagnate."

"But connect again, right? If you're not going where, are you?" clawed.

"Pinter told you."

Kalina screams for help from across the phone. The man replied loudly. "Yes, briefly. Yang, sorry. Yes it was. Then connect again," he said.

Andra let out a disappointed sigh because the woman had interrupted her conversation. "Remember ya! Keep equal distance Kalina. Don't be lured in the same way he made a pervert!" the message was worried before ending the call.

"Ready, Commander!" yells.

Although resentful and sometimes pitying as well, Andra was forced to let the young girl stay temporarily with Aydan until the execution of her separation was planned after returning from Bandung.

Finally, the three-hour drive via toll is longer than usual due to the large number of license plate B cars to Bandung on that weekend, making toll roads and toll exits jammed badly. The car arrived at the destination half an hour later. Andra's house is near a private university. So that the number of students and students who pass by there is no stranger.

He immediately entered the house and found Ningsih, his mother, was preparing various shipments in the living room for the future wife of his eldest son.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma," said Andra at the mouth of the door.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," Ningsih replied as he turned towards the door. He was surprised that the only girl had arrived. Andra bowled to her mother and embraced warmly. Then sit on the couch.

"Why is this sudden, anyway?" ask him without saying stale while paying attention to all the shipments.

"Actually not an impromptu. It has been since you graduated your brother wanted to propose to Yunita, but was forced to retreat because he said that he would step over his brother Yunita who was not married. So yes wait for her brother to get married first" said Ningsih.

"Ah, again pamali. Sitting at pamali's door. Cut pamali's night-night nails. Night whistling pamali. There-there's aja. If his soul mate has met instead of getting married soon, right? For a long time even prone to being treated by people," said Andra who was upset with cultural customs that for him was not logical. Andra and her two brothers are indeed big in Jakarta who are accustomed to modern life and the population is very diverse. So he felt strange and unusual.

"It's not. We have to respect and respect the culture here. Your sister doesn't mind being delayed anyway. Calculate while collecting wedding costs. You know for yourself, Mama can't help finance your sister's wedding" said Ningsih.

Andra let out a sigh of resignation while raising both shoulders. He continued his steps to his room that had not been slept in for a long time. Back to feel the pleasure of sleeping on a cotton mattress that has begun to be rarely used by people.

"Newly come, Deck?" Ibnu, Diandra's eldest brother, appeared behind the door to greet him.

"Thank God you could come. I was afraid you couldn't come because this show was impromptu. It was going to be the end of the month, but it turned out that the health of his father Yunita was getting down," said Ibnu who had entered the room and sat in the study chair.

"It's a good thing I still have some leave that hasn't been taken, brother. What is Yunita's father sick?"

"diabetic complications. So the fear of getting worse and no more time, so accelerated his marriage. Do'ain smoothly yes!" her door was hopeful even though her face was anxious.

"Aamiinu. Hopefully good until H day. When is the wedding planned?"

"Three months after the application."

"Well, you have to be quick to prepare, no. For the cost is also ready, brother?"

Ibn's face turned lethargic. He was silent, but finally smiled. "God willing. I have a friend who wants to help me" he said.

"So actually...?" Andra looked suspiciously.

Ibnu was forced to tell the story if in fact he had not enough money for the cost of marriage in accordance with the request of the women. Yunita does not ask for anything, but her parents and extended family are demanding more because Yunita is the last child. Ibnu was confused looking for additional money. His savings during this time did not increase significantly. Andra felt guilty. Because of him, Ibnu had to be the backbone of the family and help finance his lectures.

"I'm sorry, brother. Because of Andra's lecture, Ibnu's brother became bothered," he said.

"Don't say that. This is my duty as the oldest brother. Lagian Alfian also helped, really. Don't feel guilty about it." Ibnu ruffled Andra's long hair while smiling. Trying to erase his sister's heartache. Despite that, Andra still felt bad.

Until the conversation had to stop because Ningsih called the two to eat. Shortly after, Alfian, Andra's second brother came to bring him some food. The four of them gathered together at the dining table after such a long time rarely gathered together.

"Sir Ibnu will soon marry. Alfian's sister was there, too. Well, you're staying, Dian. Is there yet?" ningsih said suddenly. He glanced at his daughter who was still enjoying the food.

Diandra immediately coughed and gasped. Drinking water to relieve her tight chest. Both of her sisters laughed.

"Why is that surprised? Do you have a pair, right?" guess Alfian teased him. "Cieee is no longer banned."

"Ih, what the hell, anyway? If there is one, I don't want to get married in a hurry. Still want to enjoy my salary first and have fun," he said trying to stay calm.

"Ah, that's right. Later know-know-know old me you know," seloroh Alfian.

"If you want, I can find a mate. Many of my friends are ready to get married. Just choose it. Want a private employee, young entrepreneur, or PNS. Want to be like oppa or local people," added Ibnu.

"So, I can't find my own soul mate, '" Andra grumbled.

He grumbled afterwards because he continued to be teased by his two brothers about a mate. Ningsih laughed at the familiarity of her three children. There is a warm feeling in the heart. He who tries hard alone to make his children successful without a husband, is now enjoying the results. However, the look on her face turned sad when she remembered her dead ex-husband and left a sore that was still firmly attached.

"If you do not get older and leave, you should be able to feel this moment as well, Mas," Inner Ningsih was full of regret. Eyes glazed. Andra realized that.

"What's up, Ma?" tanyanya.

Ningsih shook her head quickly while smiling widely. "There's nothing. Let's finish the meal. This helps Mama solve her lack of shipping!" yells.
