BRACKET
Astuti's groceries fell to the floor when a man hit him. The man quickly picked up the scattered items, put them back in a plastic bag and gave them to Astuti.
“Sorry yes bu.”
Astuti did not answer the man's words. He was stunned looking at the tall man in front of him. The black suit he wore made the man's appearance grow dashing. His face was also quite handsome, do not forget the row of white teeth when he smiled making Astuti amazed.
“Bu..” the man waved his hand in front of Astuti.
“Oh.. uh. yes nothing. I also less carefully walk.”
“Once again sorry ya bu.”
The man nodded respectfully at Astuti then passed leaving him. Astuti was still stunned looking at him, until the sound of the motor horn shocked him. In front of the entrance of the mall, it looks like the subscription ojek is waiting. Astuti rushed on the two-wheeled vehicle.
Along the way, Astuti's memory is still on the man he met. His mind began to wander, if the man became his son-in-law, Retno would be surprised. Rayi will be happy to have a handsome and established husband. Although Astuti had to admit Anfa was much more handsome, but his dislike covered all the positive things that were on the young man.
Suddenly the motorbike he was riding stopped, pulling the woman's consciousness from her daydream. Several times the driver tried to turn on the motor, but the results were nil. Astuti was asked to come down and wait on the side of the road, while the driver tried to turn the bike back on.
“Motormu why?”
“It looks like there is a problem with the carburetor bu.”
“Well keep piye?”
“Kanya mom has to ride angkot. My motor is actually breaking down this.”
“Makanya mbok checked your bike first before ngojek. Then I too am troubled. Oalah le. le.. make it difficult for me aja.”
The objector just smiled at Astuti's dumelan. He had often heard the woman's tirade. Among his ojek subscriptions, indeed the famous Astuti is the most chatty.
Astuti slightly advanced from where he was standing earlier. His head kept looking towards his right, waiting for the angkot to pass by. Then a black BMW stopped nearby. The open window revealed the face of the man who had hit Asruti in the mall.
“Bu..” call the man.
“Eh.. mas the previous toh.”
The man got out of his car then walked around the body of the car to get in front of Astuti. Then he looked at the driver of the motorbike who was fiddling with his vehicle.
“The motor is breaking down bu?”
“Iya.”
“That's mom's son?”
“Not..he is my subscription ojek builder.”
“Oh sorry... hmm. how about I take my mom home?”
“Don't. don't do it, I don't want ngerepotin.”
The answer that came out of Astuti's mouth was, of course, contrary to his inner voice. In his heart he hoped that the man would force him to be sent home by him.
“Ngga anything ma'am, let me inter.”
Astuti's heart cheered hearing that. Left alone when the man took his groceries and then put them in the back seat. The man then opened the front door of the car for Astuti. While blushing in shame, Astuti got into the car. Before long the master also went up and ran his vehicle.
“Why where is the house?”
“Casture Regency.”
“Oh in Laswi area yes bu.”
“Betul.”
The man immediately directed his vehicle towards Laswi. Astuti glanced at the man next to him who kept staring forward. He cleared his throat a few times for attention to turn to him.
“Mother's thirst?”
“Ngga really, just a gatel throat. Oh yeah what's your name?”
“Sorry I forgot to introduce myself. I Pandu, bu.”
“Oh nak Pandu's. If mother, Astuti,” Pandu just nodded his head.
“How old is nak Pandu?”
“28 year bu.”
“Have married?”
“Hahaha. This mom, boyfriend just don't have, how to get married.”
Astuti is getting excited to hear the reality about Pandu. Pandu's age is five years from Rayi, enough distance if the two are married. Suddenly there was a desire in his heart to match Rayi with Pandu.
“Mother has a daughter, she is now 23 years old. Want mom to introduce?”
“If I want aja ma'am. But mom's son want to?”
“Mastly want. Want to work on where?”
“I manage import export company.”
Astuti's heart grew happy to know Pandu was the boss in his own company. His dream of getting a handsome and well-established daughter-in-law will soon be realized. He was getting excited just want to match Rayi with Pandu.
“Calon mantu dream yes.”
“Mother can aja,” Pandu laughs small.
“So mom's daughter-in-law wants?”
Pandu was quite surprised to hear the narration of Astuti to the point. He turned his head towards Astuti who looked serious with his words. Astuti himself is looking forward anxiously waiting for a response from Pandu.
“Emang mother's child does not yet have a candidate?”
“Mother's son is still single. But that doesn't mean he's ugly yes, the child does not want to date aja.”
Astuti took the phone from his bag and searched for a picture of the boy in his gallery. The woman's thumb continued to scroll through the rows of photos, looking for Rayi's most beautiful image. After finding it, he showed Rayi's photo to Pandu. A smile was imprinted on Pandu's face while nodding his head. The man must admit that Rayi is beautiful.
“Beauty bu.”
“Totally beautiful. So how? Want to be mom's daughter-in-law?”
“If I am depending on my mother's child. If the mother's child wants, we can get acquainted and explore each other first.”
“He definitely wants.”
Astuti smiled happily. However, he will force Rayi to get acquainted and accept Pandu. I can imagine how proud she is to have a daughter-in-law like Pandu.
☘️☘️☘️
Rayi sat on the terrace watching Vishnu feeding his bird. Lately, his father is a hobby of keeping birds. Not infrequently Vishnu often quarrel with Astuti because the man was too cool with his pet.
“Mama where pa?”
“Tadi said he wanted to go to the mall. You don't work?”
“Cut a day pa. I'm not feeling well.”
Vishnu turned towards the child. Hang a bird cage before the man sits next to the child. It had been a week since Anfa came to propose to her, the child's face always looked grim. The cause is definitely the wife who is still opposed to her son's relationship with Anfa.
“How are you related to Anfa?”
“According to papa how?”
“Connect?”
“Solve no pa, just hang it up. Papa denger himself at that time mama said what. According to papa, Anfa same sister Nina hurt heart not?”
Vishnu did not answer the question of the princess, the answer is definitely heartache. The man looked back at Rayi who looked sad. Rayi and Anfa had been in a relationship for a long time, and when they were about to end, their relationship was blocked by the blessing of his own wife.
“Tell Anfa, if she is serious about marrying you, papa is ready to marry you.”
“He's seriously getting married to me, pa. But he also wants to meet the requirements of mama first.”
“Nda need to listen to your mother's desire that ngaco. When are you getting married? Papa is ready to be your walimu.”
“Still pa. But Anfa really wants proof to mama if she can give everything you ask.”
“The boy was stubborn as well as it turned out.”
“Price of self pa. Mama has offended her pride.”
Vishnu just shook his head. The atmosphere between the two was silent. Both are busy with their own thoughts. Until finally their daydreams were scattered when they saw a black BMW stop in front of the house. From inside Astuti came down followed by a man.
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
Vishnu stood up to see the coming of his wife with a man he had never met. Rayi was just watching from where she was sitting. Astuti then introduced Pandu to her husband, as well as Rayi. Lazily Rayi stood up and welcomed Pandu's hand without mentioning his name.
“WHAT???”
Both Rayi and Vishnu gave the same reaction. Rayi looked at Pandu from top to bottom, as did Vishnu. Then their gaze turned to Astuti who was endlessly smiling while staring in admiration at the figure of Pandu.
“Mother is joking huh?” ask Vishnu.
“Mother seriously sir. This Pandu boy has an import export company, he is also single and is looking for a future wife. So I want to match Pandu with Rayi.”
“Mama is outrageous huh!”
Rayi stomped her feet in annoyance then went inside the house. Pandu was quite surprised to see Rayi's reaction. But Astuti immediately calmed his son-in-law by saying that Rayi was just surprised.
“Then, I'm sorry to go home first, sir, bu.”
“Iya nak Pandu, thank you for taking mom home.”
“Sama-sama bu.”
“Later mother contact nak Pandu. I hope you want Pandu and Rayi can explore as soon as possible.”
“Iya ma'am, I'm with mom only.”
The guide bailed once more on the couple and then returned to his car. Soon his vehicle drove away from the Astuti residence. Vishnu stared intently at his wife.
“Mother has known him for a long time?”
“Newly.”
“Mother just knew earlier but already want to match with our child. We don't know the background of that guy yet. Mother don't be rash, don't judge a person by his outward appearance alone.”
“He's a good boy. Seeds, bebet and weights are clear and suitable to be our daughter-in-law.”
“Just like you agree. You want to buy a cat in a sack!”
Vishnu immediately entered the house leaving the wife who was still fantasizing about getting a daughter-in-law like Pandu. Astuti is absolutely convinced that Pandu is the best choice for Rayi.
☘️☘️☘️
To prove that Pandu is the right choice to be a son-in-law, Astuti asked the man to come every day to the house. He always encourages Rayi to chat or be picked up at work. In addition to bringing Pandu closer, Astuti also deliberately did that to keep Rayi away from Anfa.
Rayi who was upset with the attitude of the mother could not do anything but follow the wishes of the woman. Astuti often pretends to be sick if the girl does not want to obey his wishes.
Wisnu secretly found out about Pandu, he even went to the office that Pandu recognized as his company. But there is not much that Vishnu can get about Pandu. He could not go in and meet with the boss of the company without making an appointment first. I don't know why his little heart said something was wrong with his wife's choice.
Even Vishnu to contact Anfa. Ask the young man to find out about Pandu. But Anfa's investigation stalled in the middle of the road. The man named Pandu was as if protected by a thick wall. No one could know about the ins and outs of the man, even though Anfa had asked for Agung's help.
Finally Vishnu stopped to find out about Pandu. But he remained firm in his stance, never giving blessing to the man to marry his son. In her eyes only Anfa was worthy to accompany her daughter until the end of her life. And of course this is a matter of debate with the wife every day.
Vishnu scrunched his forehead when a courier gave an invitation for him to attend the Gala Diner which is intended for young entrepreneurs. To his confusion, he was clearly not in the young category and his grocery store was not in the association that invited him.
“What is sir?”
Ask Astuti who just came out of the room. It seemed that the woman was already dressed neatly, like she was about to go somewhere. Vishnu gave an invitation in his hand to his wife. Astuti read it and was just as confused as her husband.
“Kok can you get this invitation? Don't-don't Pandu who gave it sir.”
“Mana may. See this the name of the associate chairman is not Pandu. Continues the company sponsoring the event is not a Pandu company but Maesya World Corporation.”
“Ya that time it was Pandu's partner. Udah dateng aja sir, surely who participated in the event important people all.”
“Yes, I was curious. Where are you going, by the way? Dandanan is neat like this.”
“Pandu want to take mom with Rayi shopping. This is where it is, Rayi.. Rayi!!”
Hearing the mother's scream, Rayi came out of her room. Astuti's eyes rounded to see the princess still wrapped in her casual clothes. Rayi calmly approached her mother.
“You why aren't you ready? Soon Pandu pick up.”
“Mama who went with him. Kan mama who seneng go with him, I really do not.”
Rayi passed by her mother and threw her ass over the sofa. Vishnu just smiled amusedly at the behavior of the child. He sat down next to Rayi. Astuti who was upset with Rayi's attitude immediately approached and grabbed her daughter's ear.
“Aduhh... sick mama!”
“Everything get up and keep changing your clothes!!”
“Ngga want!!”
“Excuse.”
The mother and daughter debate came to a halt when they heard a voice coming from the front. Astuti rushed out, he memorized the owner of the voice. His smile expands when he sees Pandu coming. The woman immediately took Pandu in and called Rayi. Accompanied by Vishnu, Rayi approached the mother.
“Sana quickly change clothes, nak Pandu has arrived,” Astuti's word but Rayi flinch.
“Nak Pandu does not work? Kok very often come here during working hours,” said Vishnu.
“The name is also boss, sir. There are men who do their work,” bela Astuti.
“Ck.. Abi brother is also the boss but he does not leha-leha tuh,” cetus Rayi while looking cynically at Pandu.
“Already.. already.. quickly change clothes there.”
“Ngga mau.”
“You are yes..”
Astuti did not continue his speech because his attention was diverted to a vehicle that stopped in front of his house. A two-bodied woman descends from the latest Mercy. Without saying hello, he went straight into the house. Of course Astuti sewot with the arrival of an uninvited guest who is being disrespectful. Unlike the Pandu who looks tense.
“Eh.. who do you get into people's homes without permission,” cecar Astuti.
“I'm just here to pick up my husband.”
“Who is your husband?”
“Mas Guide!! Is this what you've been doing for the last two weeks? Good for your behavior. And you!! Basic actor!!” the woman pointed the finger at Rayi.
“Sek.. sek.. sek... you who originally accused my son of the actor,” sewot Astuti.
“I am his wife mas Pandu, his legal wife! And I see, this distended stomach of mine, here is our child-to-be.”
“The guide is unmarried,” staunch Astuti.
“Not married twice mother's intent? Mas... so you chose this woman correctly?”
“Ngga darling.”
The head of Astuti was hit by a big mace hearing Pandu's short answer. It turns out that this pregnant woman is really the wife of the man who is predicted to be made a daughter-in-law by her.
“Ikut I'm home now or I'll tell my dad to kick you out of the company. I'm going to get divorced from you and you're back to being a jerk!”
“Ngga dear, let's go home dear.”
Pandu immediately took his wife away without saying goodbye to the residents of the house. Soon their vehicle left Vishnu's residence. Astuti fell on the sofa. Vishnu even chuckled to see his wife who looked shocked by the reality that had just happened. The man sat down next to his wife.
“Already bu.. already. father already said investigate first about Pandu but mother was stubborn.”
“Mother doesn't think she's married.”
“Makanya ma, do not judge a person by his outward appearance only. Enough ma'am, mama don't want to mate with me anymore. My choice remains Anfa, and I will marry Anfa, mama agrees or not. Because it's important papa restui.”
Without waiting for Astuti's answer, Rayi went back into his room. Astuti who is upset can not do anything because his body is still weak because of the problem Pandu. Vishnu shrugged his wife's shoulders.
“Try to open your heart for Anfa. He's a good boy. Rayi told him what Vienna and Danu did to the boy. Greet him, he is a strong man who can endure suffering. He will be a good husband and will protect also make our child happy.”
“But he didn't have anything.”
“Harta can be found ma'am. But the happiness of our children can be bought with money. Already, mother don't be sad anymore. Mending now we go to the mall, we buy clothes.”
“Buy clothes for what?”
“Lah said mom wants to come to Gala Diner. You have to buy new clothes, must be important people all there. Mother must also look beautiful as a companion father,” Vishnu menjwil nose of his wife.
“Rayi also invited yes sir. Who knows, he'll meet young executives there.”
“Iya. yes... we invite Rayi all.”.
A smile rose on Astuti's face. The woman moved from her seat to the child's room. He will also take Rayi shopping for clothes to attend the gala diner tomorrow night.
