Aunty's Matchmaker
Flirt with Awareness

Abibah listened to the story about Aulia's cousin, so it did not feel the clock had shown at 4 pm.

When they finished praying and cleaning up the cafe, Malik's car stopped in front of the cafe.

"Mm... Whose car is it?" asked cousin Aulia to make the two women who were focused on telling a story earlier averted their eyes.

"Oh, that's Abibah's husband. He, the husband of our boss," Aulia said with a smile to make Abibah pursed her lips.

To this day, she was repeatedly teased by Aulia in various ways. Abibah put on a bag and took a place to eat that used spaghetti this morning.

"Jude, I'm first, yeah, guys! Happy work and spirit!" abibah exclaimed in encouragement to Aulia and her cousin.

Aulia waved until Abibah was no longer in the cafe, looking at the cousin who looked at Malik without blinking.

"Lu why?" tanya Aulia nudged her cousin's shoulder which made her cousin reflexively averted her eyes.

"Huh? No papa, really," looked like Aulia's cousin.

"Don't mess around let alone think you want Mr. Malik, you could do it again. So, your enemy is not only Abibah but also me!" aulia threatened.

Cousin Aulia just looked down deeply, she squeezed the edge of her shirt feeling ashamed of what she used to do.

'The man, like the man who often goes to the same barr Mis Vilo,' inner cousin Aulia who feels familiar with Malik's face.

He had been on the wrong path and a dark life, even now he was not accepted by his family.

Only Aulia was now close to her cousin, Aulia was looking for a faraway boarding from freedom.

The boarding moms were so strict the rules were made, making cousin Aulia now a better person.

In fact, the woman is now steady to use the veil even though sometimes there are still people who insult her if the person recognizes her.

But can't someone change at any time? As long as the person wants to take the guidance God gave why, no?

In the car to the apartment there was only silence, Malik repeatedly stared at Abibah.

However, the one in the face remains focused towards the front see the road that is being passed by many motorists.

"Why, sir? How come you see it mulu?" ask Abibah who is feeling uncomfortable.

"No papa, you're a freak. Why even silence? Shouldn't it be stories? Kan, have met a friend," said Malik issued what was in his heart.

"Mr so want to make soto, tomorrow? Shop, yuk! There's still a few hours to go" Abibah said, trying to divert talks.

"You're not switching the conversation anymore, are you?"

"No, sir. I'll talk about friends later, like there's no house."

"We don't have a home, do we? When are you going to see his house?"

"Pas Gapur aja, tired also Mr. I see it," said Abibah staring at the lethargic face of Malik who indeed seemed tired because of the work tasks are stacked.

"Haha, as a teacher. This is common, you do not have to worry let alone fear I will get sick. I'll never get sick because I'm a man."

"Godly, you were sick too!" sindir Abibah rolled his eyes lazily.

Because, here it is cheaper even though it will no longer be fresh because it is late afternoon or even there are vegetables that have been used up.

"Here, don't go far!" pinta Malik and holding Abibah's hand.

"Shame on you, don't hold on!" timpal Abibah felt bad.

"So why? No problem either."

"Can't bully sir," whispered Abibah by pressing every word.

"Are we umbar? No, huh? Udah, ah, let's spit! Ntar, the market is closed, "cut Malik and walk first into a market that has two levels.

Abibah started from chili-cabean and others, lucky there is Malik. So, the man can bring a crackle containing the groceries.

"Why is there so much chicken for a kilo?" ask Malik who is astonished.

"Make Aulia Pak" Abibah said, focusing on her path. They had finished shopping and were walking back to the parking lot.

Putting the groceries into the trunk of the car and paying the parking fee, they continued their journey to the apartment.

"You know, don't you?"

"What?"

"Father same Aulia's mother was just divorced and she did not tell me because she did not feel good because I just got married, I just got married, he was also angry at me because of the silent marriage of him. I didn't tell him I married my father."

"So, who's she with?"

"She did not go with anyone, the house was given for her residence. Maybe he'll stay there with his cousin later. His sister was taken with her mother."

"So, is he alone?"

"Yes, Sir. Very sad, yes. I feel guilty because there is no time for him" said Abibah.

"You know Abibah? All will move away and leave in time according to the prevailing destiny. Including, you and Aulia. When some of you are married, it is indeed the risk that the married person will focus on his small family compared to his best friend.

Not that, you have to curse yourself and berate yourself that cannot be in every friend's distress. Because, yes, in the end we will focus on each other's lives with him later."

"Yes, sir. Huh .. just a little hurt, or so it's fitting he said his parents are better like Abibah's parents. Go awayl. Not even divorced," said Abibah told Aulia's speech earlier.

"Whatever God has outlined, we must pass and face it with sincerity and patience. Perhaps, it was already Aulia's parents' decision. Whatever it is, we as a child should only be able to accept. Moreover, Aulia was an adult not a child anymore. He should be able to deal with this kind of thing with adulthood instead of childish."

Abibah just silently digested Malik's words, he nodded his head in agreement with what Malik said.

For how ever, we as a child certainly already know what the consequences in the household.

In addition to fighting, hitting each other can be the last time you part. As a child, we always have to be mentally prepared for that.

Especially at the age of a fairly adult must have understood that two heads that contradict each other and do not want to budge will be difficult to be together forever.

Grocery crackers put Malik on the table, he went straight out of the kitchen to directly bathe and lock the apartment door.

Abibah was busy arranging groceries in a nearly empty refrigerator, only two eggs left and bread without jam.

"Oh, yeah, I haven't told you about that Chelsea guy. Ntar, I tell you, deh," said Abibah who almost forgot about it.
