Asking You In Every Bow

Asking You In Every Bow
5. Divergence


"Dad! I have important business now" Then Naura raised her leg to step up.


"What's more important than your family?" Ask Hilman swiftly.


Just two steps Naura raised her legs. Naura stopped hearing her father's question. Then he turned his body towards Hilman and Yuni as well as his sister, Laura.


"Why dad always.."


"Quick sit! Or I'll pull out your post" Hilman cuts the reigns.


Hearing Hilman's words, Naura became annoyed with being threatened with office. Naura couldn't argue with her let alone reject her father. And he did not want his position to disappear suddenly. He approached them and sat in a chair facing the dining table. And Naura began to stuff the bread into her mouth violently. Naura stared intently at Hilman who was in front of her eyes with her eyes narrowed.


"What?!" Tegur Hilman coldly on Naura. Chewing bread in his mouth.


Naura was still with her regretful expression. He did not care about Hilman who always upset him.


"Bun, I'm leaving" he said after drinking water. Then he walked in a hurry.


"Be careful honey!"


"Yes!" the screams that were seen near the door.


Naura rode in her red car and hit the gas. In the middle of the trip, Naura picked up a cell phone in a bag.


"Hello Sir?"


Da? Where is mom? I was in front of the cafe


"Hm, I'll be there soon sir. The road's a little jammed"


Oh, fine. I wait, ma'am


"Yes sir. Thanks"


- Tett


Naura ended the conversation on the phone.

"Bun, yeah. I left for school" Maura said, picking up her backpack on the sofa. After that Laura approached her parents who were standing, waiting for a greeting from her.


"Assalamu'alaikum" Maura said a greeting, after peeping the backs of his parents' hands.


"Be careful, dear" said Yuni softly.


"And don't forget to pray" Hilman warned.


"Yes father" Then Maura walked towards the door.


"Oh yeah, dad why don't you go to the office?" Yuni asked Hilman.


"So I told you the same mother. If it's meeting today, it's just noon"


"Huh? Did dad say that? It's not a feeling" Yuni thought.


"Does your mom have feelings?" Hilman teased him.


"Oh yes, yes. If you do not have feelings, where maybe you have love for your father" Godanya again.


Yuni's countenance blushed in embarrassment. Then he pinched the waist of Hilman who was standing next to him.


"Aw, sick bun" Hilman grimaced in pain as he rubbed his waist which had been the victim of the pinch from his wife.


"It turns out the bad mother is also yes" Ketus Hilman made Yuni's cheeks more red and upset.


"Yeah...!" Yuni shouted and made Hilman's ears shaken.


...


There are many differences between Maura and Naura. Maura is very polite to Yuni and Hilman as her parents. Her body was always covered by a headscarf and long clothes like a robe.And her school clothes were long and loose. The skirt is wide and long to the ankles.


In contrast to Naura who always left part of her aura open. Like letting her hair unravel freely without wearing a hijab like. He also often wears a top like a shirt even though the display. And subordinates like trousers. Because she is not comfortable with dress and hijab.

"Excuse me, Sir. Sorry I'm late" Sapa Naura after arriving at the cafe.


"Yes. Its alright. Please ma'am" replied a man in black suits allowing Naura to sit down.


"Please drink before we talk. Sorry, I just ordered drinks for my mom" he said.


"It's okay sir. Thank you for the drink" Naura sucked up the red drink, quenching her thirst after a few minutes on the way.


"Oh, yes. So how, sir, were you interested in my offer yesterday?" Naura started the conversation.


"After I saw the offer yesterday, the product that will be sold is very good. And fortunately, it was quite big. So, I'll accept mother's offer." The client nodded his head several times.


"Yes mom. And tomorrow I will transfer the money" replied the man with a smile.


"Thank you sir. I will make sure our cooperation will be satisfactory" Reply Naura enthusiastically.


The man extended his hand. And Naura took it. Signs that the cooperation is official.


"Yes, I went first, Mom. I still have business" said the man.


"Yes. Please sir. Again, I say thank you"


"Yes, mom. Same" Then he walked away.


Naura developed a triumphant smile. Because he managed to get clients for products that he had long prepared.


"Mom!" Naura raised one hand. Calling the cafe waiter.


"I pesen spagetty and coffee" he said after the waiter arrived in front of him.


"Okay ma'am, we'll get ready soon" he replied kindly as he lowered his head obediently with an empty tray in his hand.


Naura took the phone in the bag.


"Hello Mir? Where are you?"


In office. Wh why?


Hm, you're fine, aren't you, after yesterday's incident?


"There's something I want to ask you about"


"Hm, can you not now go to Black Cafe? Yeah, if you're not busy"


I happen to have no business. So I went straight


"Favor"

Yuni was cleaning clothes in the closet. And Hilman was busy playing his leptop.


"Hm, did you tell Bilal about Naura going to the boarding school?" Yuni asked suddenly.


Hilman immediately stopped his finger fiddling with the leptop button. And turned his eyes to Yuni.


"Udah bun, Mr. Bilal is just waiting for us to take Naura there. Why why anyway? Mother still worried?"


"Well, you're kangen Baron. Can you call me?" Ask Yuni.


"Bby dong. We call the same" answered Hilman as he moved from his seat to approach his wife and invite her to sit on the sofa.


Hilman started picking up his cell phone and called Bilal to ask permission to chat with his eldest son, Baron. Because Baron's cell phone is being confiscated while at the boarding school.


Hello, Assalamu'alaikum. With who, huh?. A woman's voice across the phone.


Hilman pressed the speaker button and put his phone on the table.


"Vaalaikumsalam. This is Mr. Hilman, a friend of Mr. Kiyai Bilal"


Oh, sorry Mr. Hilman. Is there anything Mila can help you with?


"Yes Mil. I want to talk to my son, whose name is Baron. Can I?"


Of course you can sir. In a moment, sir, I'll call Nak Baron first


......................


"Din! Please hurry up and call Nak Baron! His parents want to talk!"


Udin just nodded obediently. And immediately look for the Baron to his room.


"Assalamu'alaikum's chat. Is there a Baron Boy?" Ask after arriving at the door.


"Waalaikumsalam" answered the three brothers who were sitting watching some books on the floor.


"What's up, sir?" Ask the Baron who just came out of the bathroom in that room.


"Son Baron, your parents called! They want to talk to you"


"really? All right I'll be there soon" said Baron, confirming the scabbard was a little messy.


"Hey Baron's! Can we come?" Tanya Umar, who had long hair.


"Of course I can! Why not" replied the Baron.
