BELOVED YOUNG WIDOW OF BACHELOR
Bakpia Patok

Farah felt a strange attitude every time she faced Haikal. Her daughter was happy and comfortable around the man. As happened this afternoon, the girl reasoned that the explanation described by Haikal was more in his brain, even though the teachers chosen by the Girl school were reliable teachers, and the girls were good teachers, until Farah suspected her daughter was just a reason.

The attitude of the girl certainly made him worry. He understood if teenagers the age of girls experienced puberty and began to be interested in the opposite sex. But he was anxious if the girl would feel disappointed and it would make his child mentally down.

Actually Farah does not mind if the girl likes a man like Haikal. He saw Haikal a good and polite man, especially Haikal is a brave sister-in-law, so he was sure if Haikal could not play tricks or use Girls. It's just that what's troubling him is that if the girl's feelings will clap one arm, it'll be no good with the relationship between Girl and Haikal as her boss and assistant.

Tok tok tok tok

Farah's hand opened the door knob of Girl's room, she wanted to ask her daughter about her guess if Girl liked Haikal. Farah saw the girl was asleep with the position of her stomach hugging the bolster. With the headset attached to the orange, the phone in his hand but with his eyes closed. The girl was unaware of her presence in the room, due to the headset covering the hearing of the girl.

Farah walked over to take off the headset and pick up the phone in case the child fell asleep. Farah rubbed the girl's arm slowly to make sure her son was asleep or not.

"Mama?"

A girl's voice is heard when Farah touches a girl's arm. Apparently, his daughter had not slept. Farah then sat on the edge of the bed and stroked the head of the Girl.

"If you're sleepy you should rest, girl" said Farah, "Take off the headset and put her HP," continued Farah.

"I'm not sleeping, Ma." The girl took off the headset that was attached to her forehead and then got up from a sleeping position.

Farah looked at her daughter's face with her eyes looking puffy, until the circumference of her eyes turned red. She guessed that if her daughter had just cried, it would have made her even more anxious.

"What's wrong with you, son? You're crying?" ask Farah worried.

"No, Ma." Tepis Girl lied. Ever since he knew Haikal had gone to meet another woman, his heart was disappointed and he ended up crying.

"You don't lie to Mama, girl. Same story Mama, what's the matter? Did someone hurt you?" Farah asked the girl to open up to her.

"Girl just misses Papa, Ma." The girl reasoned using words that made Farah not wonder much anymore.

Farah sighed, do not ask her feelings for her late husband, because she also felt the same way that her daughter felt. Maybe he was even more confused with the Star than the Girl.

"Send many prayers to Papa if you miss your Papa, son. Let Papa's grave be cleared." advises Farah.

"Yes, Ma." Gadus nodded.

"Are you really not going to sleep?" asked Farah, because she wanted to ask about her conjecture earlier.

"Not yet, why, Ma?" The girl asked back.

"Mama wants to ask you, son." said Farah.

"Ask what, Ma?" ask Girl.

Farah fixed her sitting position by folding one leg on the bed and the other leg still dangled to the floor with a soft tapestry.

"Girl, Mama knows, now that you're growing up, you're almost eighteen. Mama's understood that you're currently keeping a keen interest in men." Farah began to convey the things she wanted to talk about with her daughter. "Mama doesn't forbid you if you have a close friend, as long as that person is kind and has a positive influence on you, son." In the midst of the saturation of time passed by her son, Farah understood if her daughter now felt in love with a man she liked.

The girl gasped at the mother's words. She did not expect that her mother could guess what she was feeling right now.

"Why is Mama talking like that?" The girl began to misbehave the words spoken by the mother.

"Because Mama feels that you're in love right now" Farah replied.

"M-mama don't guess, deh!" refute the girl by turning her face, do not want Farah to see the red hue that has begun to make up on her beautiful face.

Farah chuckled at the rebuttal from the Girl, but from the look on her face and body gestures she knew that the Girl was trying to deny her feelings.

"Girl, Mama was also once young like you. I have always felt in love and liked men. Don't be shy about being frank with Mama, son." Farah wanted her daughter to be honest and open to her. Because when he was young, when he harbored a love for the opposite sex, he confided a lot to his mother, he said, so that she also wants to be a good Mama by being a listener for all the complaints of girls, especially in the affairs of romance.

"What's the talk, anyway?!" The girl still did not dare to look at her mother.

"Because Mama is sure that what Mama said earlier is true," angled Farah so that the Girl would want to tell what the Girl is feeling right now, the girl is now,

The girl's eyes widened until she turned her gaze toward the Mama when Mama was so precise guessing what she was feeling right now.

"It looks really good, huh, Ma?" ask the innocent girl.

"Hmmm, Mama's guess is right, right?" Farah chuckled as the Girl began to react as if confirming her conjecture.

The girl did not reply, only her face was immediately bowed. She was actually afraid that her mother would find out that she liked Haikal. What if my mom forbids it? That's his worry.

"If you don't answer, Mama means that Mama's words are true, right?" Silence Girl is interpreted Farah if Girl admits if being exposed to the heat of romance.

"Who, anyway? The man who made this beautiful Mama's son fall in love?" With the affection of Farah caressing her daughter's head, she wanted to make the Girl feel comfortable telling her.

The girl ducked, she was embarrassed to say that her personal assistant had managed to tear apart her heart at this time.

"What ... the man is ... Haikal?" Farah was very careful in guessing the man favored by the Girl.

The girl again raised her gaze to look at the mother, the red bias on her face could not be restrained the more adorning her white face. But before long he returned to his face and said, "Mama must not agree," said the girl.

"Why do you think that way, son? Mama said, Mama did not forbid if the person you like is a good person and has a positive influence on you. Mama see Haikal his son is nice and polite. Mama's sure, Guts couldn't have sent Haikal to look after you if he wasn't good." Farah explained that she would support if indeed her son liked Haikal.

"Mama wants you to get a male companion who loves you and your family, like your Papa to Mama," said Farah. She must have wanted her son to get a man like her late husband.

"I don't want to have a companion like Papa, Ma!" On the contrary, the girl refused to have a companion like her Papa.

"Lho, why?" ask Farah wonder.

"I don't want to be left like Mama." The girl explained what she meant.

Farah smiled, and she understood her son's words.

"Every one who lives will die, son. We just don't know when that's gonna happen. Fools, sustenance and death only Allah SWT knows. If Mama can have it, Mama also doesn't want to be left behind so soon by Papa. Mama wishes we could be together until old age, until, can see you get married and you give Papa and Mama lots of grandchildren. But God willed another" said Farah.

Seeing Farah's face turn sad, the girl felt guilty for making the mother sad. He then grabbed the body of his mother.

"But, Brother Haikal is indifferent to his attitude, Ma. Really nice bum, huh!" The girl switched the conversation so that her mother would no longer grieve remembering the Papa. He leaned on Farah's shoulder.

"Maybe Haikal's just keeping the attitude, girl. You know if he behaves like that, son. Maybe Haikal doesn't believe you should return your feelings." Farah was very understanding, because she also came from a family that had the same social status as Haikal. There was a sense of inferiority when first approached by the Star who came from a descendant of a wealthy family.

"What do I do, Ma?" ask Girl.

"You must be patient, son. Don't be so childish. Most men are happy with women who are mature and not spoiled." Farah advised and gave an opinion to her son, so that his son could get his love. "But you also have to hold back, don't show too much of your liking. A little prestige does not matter if said Mama, let him also feel curious about you, do not be the impression that you are chasing him," continued Farah gave tricks to face indifferent men like Haikal.

"So Mama didn't forbid me if Haikal and I were dating?" Girl confidently says she will date Haikal.

"Actually Mama wants to have a daughter-in-law like Gaga, dear she has a family ...."

"Aahhh, if the one who became his daughter-in-law is Brother, sip Kak Flo, dong!" The girl rolled her eyeballs scraping the barrel of Farah's words.

"After all, Dashing is also married, do not disturb other people's households," continued Farah then rose from sitting.

"Now you rest, let tomorrow not be late." Farah gave a kiss at the top of the girl's head and left her daughter and went back to the room.

After Farah's death, the girl returned to lay her body back on her stomach. The blessing of the mother was like an encouragement to her. But when he remembered that Haikal had met a woman he did not know who, his heart suddenly fell.

The girl stared at her phone, until she found a picture with words that deeply expressed her current state of heart. He then downloaded the image and he used it as a story on his social media chat. He then placed his phone next to the pillow and closed his eyes.

Beep

A few minutes later, the message on his phone sounded. Do not know who is contacting him at this time, until the girl lazily took his phone. He narrowed his eyes to peek at who was sending him a message.

The girl's eyelids instantly opened wide as she saw who the person who sent her the message was. It was unexpected if the person suddenly sent a message to him.

"Is your stomach still hurting?" That one message was like an oasis in the desert, flowing coldness in his troubled heart. This was completely beyond his estimation. Her story on social media chat account was seen by Haikal, even Haikal sent her a message.

When his heart beat fast, his heart felt pounding. Fortunately, Haikal was not in front of him at the moment. So that he did not have to misbehave in front of the man.  The girl must be able to control herself, until she writes a short reply to Haikal, because she offends due to her groin.

"It." That was the only answer he gave to Haikal's question.

"The task of Miss Siska is done?" The girl could not help but smile on her lips as the next message from Haikal re-appeared on her phone.

The girl could not cover up the turbulent happiness in her heart at the little attention Haikal was giving her right now, until she typed a few words to reply to Haikal's message. However, the girl undoes send that message. He was just typing the same sentence as before. Because he remembered what the mother said if he should be able to hold back and maintain his prestige.

"Yes." replied the girl, she wanted to know where Haikal would pay attention to her.

"Yes, don't sleep too late. Have a good rest."

But Haikal's reply this time was not his hope. Haikal even intends to end communication via their chat. So he quickly retaliated and dismissed if he would sleep.

"I don't want to sleep!" The girl was worried that Haikal would actually end the communication because he had a wrong strategy.

"You said you were sleepy ..."

The girl breathed a sigh of relief because Haikal did not end their conversation.

"I was just talking to Mama" replied the girl.

"Oh ..." Just that word was the reply that came from Haikal's number, making the Girl gnash her forehead.

The girl waited for a while, hoping that Haikal would return a message. However, the message he was waiting for did not appear on his phone until he finally relented to sending a message to the man.

"Son Haikal didn't ask me if I was talking to Mama?" Silly questions come out of the girl's mouth.

Of course Haikal would not ask as the girl mentioned earlier. Because Haikal felt it was the girl's personal business and it was none of his business.

"Not talking about me, is it?"

Round eyeball Girl reading Haikal question. A red tinge began to be seen on the girl's face again. Just such words alone had made him misbehave.

"Sir Haikal don't be kegeeran, deh! Why am I the same Mama talking about Haikal?!" The girl said she did not dare to confess honestly even though she herself was provoking Haikal to guess what was discussed with Mama.aaa

"Don't be angry like that. I was just guessing," said Haikal, "Who knows you complain to Mama you because I made you angry 🙂." Now Haikal dares to give emojis to his message.

The girl flicked her lips when Haikal quipped her. He immediately thought back to Haikal who wanted to rush home because he promised to meet women.

"Have you met the girl?" Girl insinuates Haikal.

"I've met a guy named Mr. Denny. Do you think Mr. Denny is a boy or a girl?"

Back sighs of relief The girl sounded. Haikal's answer seemed to relieve his chest that had been rumbling since this afternoon because of the fire of jealousy.

"Do you think Haikal met that guy?" The girl wants to know, though she doesn't know if Denny is her Om accomplice.

"He offers business" replied Haikal of origin.

"Does Haikal want to get out of BDS?" The girl misunderstood, thinking Haikal would stop working because of a business offer called by Haikal earlier.

"The salary from Pak Bintang company is already big for me, why should I stop working?" tampik Haikal's.

Haikal's answer made the girl happy. But he was more than happy to know that Haikal had not met another woman.

"It's late, you better get some sleep. Don't stay up, you'll be sick. Take care of your health." Haikal seemed to really want to end the chat conversation with Girl, "It was a long time ago, yes. Have a good rest, have a good dream. Ariston ...."

Haikal's parting words this time were more acceptable to the Girl than when Haikal wanted to end their previous chat until he finally answered Haikal's message.

"Marine ...."

Girl clutches a cell phone on her chest. Hundreds of flowers were like blooming on his chest. During his time with Haikal, it felt like this was the happiest and most pleasant moment he experienced. His agitation soon dissipated over the attention shown by Haikal even if it was just a series of words.

"Maos ..." Airin walked up and grabbed her husband, who was tidying his hair in front of the mirror. Her husband was ready to go to the office.

"Why, Ay?" Dashing to look back because now Airin hugged him from behind.

"I'm going to Jogya in the afternoon, okay, okay?" airin said to seduce her husband.

"To Jogya? What's the matter? Is there something with Mom and Dad?" ask Gough seriously.

"No, Mas. Same father Mom is fine, really." tepis Airin.

"Then, what are you impromptu want to go home to Jogya? Just met Mom and Dad a few days ago, right?" Dashing twisted his body. He was amazed at the request of his wife.

"I want to eat bakpia patok, Mas." Airin mentioned his reason for wanting to go to his hometown.

Dashing forehead wrinkled at the request of the wife, then gently stroked Airin's head.

"Didn't anyone here sell that food, Ay?" ask Bravery.

"I want the real one from Jogya straight away, Mas." Airin refused to be offered bakpia peg sold at a cake shop in Jakarta.

"Yes, just order online then. Ask for a quick arrival, if you can get here, the cost is expensive also no problem. Otherwise, I'll have people go to Jogya to buy the bakpi so you can eat quickly." In order to fulfill the desire of the wife, Gough does not mind the cost that he will spend is very expensive.

"But I want to eat from the maker directly, Mas. The warm one just lifted out of the oven." There is only the desire of pregnant women on this one. Maybe because the pregnancy factor makes him want strange things, until he had to go to the place of manufacture directly.

Dashing sigh, there is no way he refused the request of his wife, if he does not want to lose his ration. She also understands the wife's desire may be due to her pregnancy hormones.

"Well, I'll take you to Jogya." Struggling to take his cell phone. He wanted Dewi to book a plane ticket for him and Airin went to Yogyakarta.

"No need to deliver, Mom. I'll go with Luna." Airin did not want to interfere with her husband's work. She did not want her husband to put personal interests first in her time at work.

"You think I'd have the heart to let you two go to Jogya alone with Luna, Ay?" Dashing to look at his wife because Airin does not want him to deliver.

"But I don't want Mas to leave Mas's job .." tepis Airin refused to be considered to refute the gallant remark.

Dashing to think, he did not want to be considered to behave arbitrarily in BDS, leaving the office just because he wanted to take the wife, but he also did not want to let Airin go with Luna alone.

"I'll tell Mama, let Mama take you." Dashing finally decided to ask the mother to accompany Airin.

"Don't, Mas. I don't feel good about Mama." Airin did not let the heart trouble Mama-in-law.

"Mama's gonna take you, Ay. Mama would be happy to get out of the house, too." Perky felt his mother must be happy to be able to travel to Yogyakarta. He then stepped up to convey Airin's wishes.

"I'm ashamed, Mom." Airin resisted the gallant step by pulling the husband's arm.

"Then why?"

"I'm afraid Mama thinks I'm outrageous, Mas." said Airin. He was worried that his desire would be considered too excessive, although it would probably be considered by some people as a natural thing, because he was pregnant.

"Hmmm, how about I just ask Haikal to come, Mas? Girls can give you permission, can't they, Mom?" Airin actually chose his own sister who delivered, rather than the husband who delivered, because the presence of Gaga is more important than his sister in the BDS office.

"Grammy?" Dashing frowned, as soon as he got the idea to bring Haikal closer to the Girl. "Well, I'll tell the girl that Haikal will take you to Jogya." Dashing hopes Girls will also come to Jogya so that Girls can be closer to the Airin family.

Dashing then contacted the Girl with her cell phone.

"Hello, Brother. What's up?" The voice of the Girl is heard when her phone call is connected with the Girl.

"Girl, today I want to borrow Haikal. He wants to take Airin to Jogya." Dashing to the point says the reason for contacting Girl.

"Sir Haikal wants to take Airin to Jogya?" The girl repeated the gallant remark, "When, Brother?" tanyanya.

"Today, he did not stay overnight, this afternoon also returned to Jakarta," said Gaga.

"Hmmm, I also want to take Kak Airin to Jogya, dong, Kak." said the girl later.
