Acha: Thank You Yoga
29. Long time No Meet

Happy Reading

“Cha, try here you see the dress, good no?” Nadin showed a dress he had just taken to Acha who was still busy looking at other clothes. Hearing Nadin who called him, Acha turned to him and looked at the dress held by the mother-in-law.

“It's good, Ma. Want to make Li yes?” said ask.

“Not, Li where like to wear a dress like this,” fun while paying attention to the sleeveless dress that is still held.

Hearing that next to Acha's eyebrows raised. “Continue to whom? Make mama?” tanyanya polo's.

Nadin laughed at his daughter-in-law's words. “There are you Cha, yakali mama wears a young man's dress. Although mama is still young because she refused old but this dress is not suitable in the body of the mother who is already three-tailed.”

Acha grimaced to hear Nadin's words. “Mama is beautiful,” compliments later.

“You're smart to praise, Cha.”

Acha chuckles. But he did not lie just to shake Nadin's heart. Mama-mertunya was aged but still looks very beautiful and also graceful.

“You like it, right, Cha?” once again Nadin asked to make sure that his daughter-in-law did like his choice of dress.

“Iya, Ma,”Acha nodded briefly accompanying her answer.

“Yes this is for you, Cha,” Nadin extended the dress to Acha. Acha was a little surprised but still accepted it. Acha examined the dress of choice Nadin until now his eyes were fixed on the price tag hanging on his collar, Acha's eyes immediately patterned and he extended the dress back to Nadin.

“Acha do not want, Ma, this is too expensive we look for another one,” he exclaimed quickly.

Nadin who heard that again laughed, his daughter-in-law is indeed not the type of woman who likes to shop for expensive and luxurious items.

“Udah you take aja, if the monthly money from Yoga is less so mama pay.”

Acha shook her head, that's not what it meant. Monthly money from Yoga is no less than just to buy clothes. The money is enough and quite enough in fact but, it's just that Acha doesn't want to squander money just for something that doesn't really matter. “It is not so, Ma. It's just that this is too expensive.”

“One dress will not make our family poor really, Cha. If you want the same building you can buy it for you,” said Nadin joking but if he wants the joke could be real. Nadin does have a soul that seems haughty so no wonder if he talks like that.

Acha gawked at Nadin's words and again Nadin just laughed with Acha's response. “Here, let's go to the cashier or do you want to find some more clothes?”

Acha immediately shook his head, one shirt was enough, he said. She doesn't really like to shop and she still has decent clothes in her closet. Not to mention that time Yoga also bought some clothes for her.

“Already, this is it, Ma.”

Nadin nodded, he then passed towards the cashier along with Acha.

“This finish we to find food yes, Cha,” said Nadin after paying for his groceries in response to a nod by Acha.

Both are now walking to the restaurant on the fifth floor. Arriving at the destination, Nadin and Acha immediately looked for a seat near the window. “Ma, Acha to the toilet first yes,” his permission to Nadin.

“Iya, be careful yes,” said Nadin who then replied nod by Acha. The woman soon passed leaving Nadin who was reading a menu book that had just been given by the servant she called.

Acha POV

After making my wish, I washed my hands in the wastell and noticed the reflection of my face in front of the mirror. I can see my face looking for happiness. Today, I feel happy because I finally get to spend time with my mother-in-law who I already consider to be my own real mother. It was lunch time and I was hungry. Suddenly, I remembered Yoga, about now what is he doing? Has he eaten? Those are the questions that fill my brain. My smile grew wider and saw the crazy thing this morning, I could have done that, fortunately Yoga was not angry with me.

Feeling that I had been in the bathroom for too long, I immediately decided to rush out after drying my hands with a tissue.

The restaurant now looks more crowded, even though I am only a few minutes in the toilet but now this place is fuller than before.

“Darling, thank you for making a promise,” I vaguely heard the voice of the woman who was talking, at that moment my smile expanded, surely their relationship was very harmonious, I thought.

Because I was not focused on the road that I passed, I ended up accidentally bumping into someone and I made sure that figure was a man. My guess was right when the man made his noise.

“If the road uses eyes, this big person you don't see?” yells.

I who heard that raised my face to apologize. However, when I saw who the figure I hit the sorry word that was about to be thrown from my mouth was swallowed back just like that. “You guys,” my great-grandson slowly.

“Acha,” great-granddaughter both of them.

“For a long time, you were still alive, Cha?” valerie said in a dismissive tone.

“Yes, long time no see and it turns out you two are still together. Lasting yes,” reply I accompanied with a smile. Obviously it wasn't a happy smile but rather a wry smile that I threw at him.

Valerie's eyes fiddled at the sight of me just now. “What do you mean?”, he cried with a snapping tone to make the attention of everyone turned to look at us is no exception mama Nadin who is not far from where I stand.

Mama Nadin who saw me talking immediately moved from her seat. Willing to approach me who is still dealing with Aska and Valerie.

“Nothing, I just want to ingetin more careful because the fate of people in the future no one knows what.”

Valerie's emotions exploded at my words. I could see flashes of anger in his eyes. However, strangely Aska just silent not to defend her lover.

“Dasae \*\*\*\*\*!” Valerie was about to throw a slap across my smooth cheek but a hand suddenly held her back, it was Mama Nadin's hand. Mama Nadin seemed to throw her sharp gaze at Valerie.

“How dare you slap my son-in-law,” mama Nadin said in a cold tone. I was surprised to see Mama Nadin who was very different, his eyes were sharp and his face was cold and flat just like Yoga when he was angry. While Aska was surprised to see the sudden arrival of Mama Nadin.

“Me-me-hoo?”

“Tan-tante Nadin?”

Aska and Valerie both put out words stammeringly. Both were shocked and scared.

“Real Aska,” Nadin paused his sentence, glanced at Aska then looked back at Valerie. “He's your girlfriend, Ka?” mama Nadin asked.

“Iy-iya, auntie,” reply stuttered. Somehow he was so afraid of the mother of his famous warm friend.

“Where to get it, Ka? Kok mouth kayak uneducated when viewed is still the same age as Acha.”

Damnit damnit! vallerie's curse in her heart. In his heart he swore an oath to Nadin who he did not know his identity.

“Maafin Val yes, Aunt. Next time Aska will pay more attention to his words.”

Nadin nodded then let go of Valerie's hand. “Yes now you two go from here!” banish him.

“Kok aunty ngusir us?” exclaimed Valerie with her nyolot tone.

“Shut!” snapping Aska makes Valerie shut up. He's embarrassed now.

“Tante we excuse you first,” exclaimed Aska then pulled Valerie's hand to pass immediately.

Mama Nadin's attention then turned to me who was still loyal to look at him. “You're okay, baby?” said ask. His eyes were back in shade and his tone sounded soft.

“Ac-acha is okay, Ma,” reply me with nervousness and fear. I did not expect that Nadin's mama who was always gentle and joking could be cold and quite scary too. I wondered what my fate would be if I was caught lying.

“Ya let's go back, the food has come,” take it to me. I nodded stiffly and followed Mama Nadin back to our table.

Now, we have returned to sit facing the various kinds of food. “You know them, Cha?” mama Nadin asked.

I who was about to put food in my mouth broke my intentions and looked at the mother. “Ngak, ma,” reply me slowly.

“Cowok was the friend of Rei, sister of Yoga,” explained mama Nadin who then I reply with a nod of understanding.

Oh, so her sister Yoga is called Rei. Why is it a coincidence. My mind is again preoccupied with my own chaotic thoughts

“Why, Cha?” reprimand mama Nadin when he saw me daydreaming.

“Neither, Ma.” I shook my head then continued to eat my food.

“Yes already, eat a lot and do not mind much,” final Nadin finally.

“Iya, Mother. Mama also ate a lot.”

Nadin smiled warmly and then started to look at his food.
