Tonight Echa, Indri and Eli, Echa's old friend, sit on the porch of Darmi's house. Not only that, the house is crowded with relatives. Tomorrow Echa will be in Panji boyong to return to Jakarta. Some of them are afraid of not being able to meet Echa tomorrow. That's why the people visited.
"Sister Echa, how does it feel to marry the same first love?" Echa shut her cousin's sister's mouth. Afraid that Panji knows the truth.
"Why, brother. Is that the fact?" The sinless senses still spoke without reducing the volume of the voice.
"If he hears you'll have a big head!"
Echa took a deep breath. He was confused as to how he felt at this moment. Of love? to be honest when Panji was inhumane to Savira, there was a sense of ilfeel in the man.
"I'm still confused, too, Ndri. Is this fate or coincidence. Happy that a man wants to marry me. Especially when Brother Afan even cancels unilaterally."
"That's destiny, Cha. You even rejected a Jaya. Chairman of OSIS as well as our school idol, your rival at that time Stella, girls' basketball club." Eli joined the conversation Echa and Indri.
"Panji's my boss at work. So automatically asked to stop working. You know when I first got to work there my status was a small staff. Until I was told to choose between a manager and a secretary. I took the second choice because it must not be as complicated as being a manager."
"Sir Echa doesn't have to work anymore. Kanak Panji is already the boss. If I was in the position of Echa, I would have been sitting at home. Serving the maid."
"I got the secretary position not easy either, Ndri. Two years I worked there crawling from the bottom and now in this position. Yes I'll talk to Panji. It is also the duty of the wife so that her husband does not macem. At home Mas Panji also do not use a maid. He also went home the other night. That's what I knew as secretary."
"Well, that's how deep you know brother Panji. But never stayed there. I've read novels online, there's a boss who takes his secretary..."
"What do you think I am, Ndri! I am a village but I still have my pride! your words are as if, ..." Indri lowered his head. He realized his words would offend his older cousin.
"Sorry, brother." Indri just looked down in fear.
The enraged Echa immediately laughed at the expression of her little sister. Indeed, he was upset over Indri's unfiltered speech. But there is an intention to prank the young girl to be deterred later on. Indri's habit of being lazy has never been able to boomerang. Echa loves the deterrent effect unfortunately he has no way.
"Li, I go inside first," said Echa without caring or greeting Indri.
Echa mingled with her husband and other relatives. They hear stories from their childhood. Of course Paklik Malik opened the memories between Echa and Panji.
"You know, Ji. When you go to Jakarta, this bulldozer whines to ask Jakarta. He said you promised him you'd take him to monas. Yes Paklik said that if Echa went to class later he would not bring it to Jakarta. And finally Echa believes that he is in Jakarta. Though Paklik just take him to solo." boisterous sound of laughter all over the house.
"Paklik don't call me a bundle anymore. Paklik knows I'm slim now." Echa protest with spoiled mimicry.
"Even if you are beautiful, slim, and later you have children. But still in the eyes of Paklik you are the favorite puntelan girl of all of us. And Paklik also did not expect the man who was often in the puffer of this puntelan even became her husband."
The banner looked back at Echa. As if to hold Paklik Malik accountable. Echa was already embarrassed, as soon as she turned her eyes in the other direction. Embarrassed? yesembarrassment. The secret is to dismantle it yourself.
"really yes?" whisky Panji. He chose indifferently even though his heart had fallen.
"Kok you here, Cha. Just sit outside, accompany your husband. Let him not be clumsy near the fathers." Budenya.
"Echa doesn't understand male chats. Mending Echa here same mom and bude. Uh where's Tika's sister?"
"Tika has been picked up by her husband back to Klaten. They can snag. That's why Tika long here. You don't do that, yeah, Cha. If there is a problem in the household, it should be discussed. Don't run away like Tika's" said Bude.
After the family guests, Echa and the pennant are busy cleaning up the rest of the goods. The man slid a chair near the living room. In because the number of guests exceeds the capacity of the house which is fairly not too large. Sweat dripping on Panji's forehead, Echa spontaneously takes a tissue cleaning her husband's face.
"If you are tired of rest. You sleep in the room let me sleep on the couch." Bring Echa.
"Why don't you sleep in your room? we are husband and wife. Yes if you are not ready I unboxing no problem. But I won't let my wife sleep on the couch. This is soon finished. You take a break first tomorrow we want to go to Jakarta."
"Mas, I can work again, right?" Echa with puppy eyes.
Panji took a deep breath. He could have banned Echa from work again. But for a while he allowed his wife to work.
...****...
On the eastern horizon, the sky is splashing red. The dawn slowly dawned. Adzan from W. A small mushola stands not far from the Panji and Echa residence.
Echa woke up first. There was a pillow that protected them. Panji was still asleep on the left side, turning his back to Echa.
"Mas, wake up at dawn. Shower and pray at dawn first Mas," said Echa while shaking the waist Panji.
Today they are going to Jakarta. I can't relax ria.
Moreover, Panji now the head of the family must certainly be accustomed to wake up early.
Time goes on, the house mbok Darmi looks crowded. Ibu Laksmi and Paklik Malik accompanied Echa and Panji to Adi Sucipto airport. Echa looked at the people who let go of her. How attentive the villagers of W. Especially Indri and Eli.
They also left the village. The car that accompanied Echa and Panji also walked away from the village.
"Cha, you take good care of yourself. Same with husband. I don't want to hear you lash out again with Panji."
"Yes, Mom. Echa and mas Panji pamit."
After hugging Laksmi's mother and greeting Paklik Malik. Echa and Panji enter the area that is only intended for passengers. Waving hands at those left behind.
"And now I'm no longer Theresia the secretary. But who will accompany all the activities of mas Panji"
