A few days later ...
Rama's leave is over. Rama could not accompany Yufi any longer. Unless indeed Yufi was willing to return to their private home in the big city.
Rama has five days off from his job. If Yufi and her five children continue to eat what?
"Dad's leaving shajuh tomorrow. Take the bus just so fast," said Rama slowly.
"Yes," Yufi replied while breastfeeding Fano using a milk bottle.
Since the birth of the second child, Yufi never gave ASI exclusively because the milk never came out.
Rama's job while at home is to take care of his four daughters' sons and ensure the state of the house remains conducive.
"Dad don't have to macem now. There is already Fano," Yufi's great-grandson reminded.
"Yes Bun" answered Rama briefly.
While at home all the cell phones are held by Yufi. Rama is not allowed to hold a cell phone or communicate with other people.
Dama knows about that. Dama never wanted to contact Rama unless he knew Rama's position was outside. But that was before.
Today we are in a difficult choice. Ustad Adi came early in the morning with his parents. He meant to come to ask Dama.
"Sir Ustad? Are there Mom and Dad too?" greet Dama with a gentle and polite voice.
Dama invites both parents Ustad Adi to go inside. Then kissed the backs of the hands of the two old men politely.
"Where is Dama healthy? Which lanang?" ask Ibu Ustad Adi.
Dama and Ibu Ustad Adi are pretty close. They always sit together if there is a lecture event in the assembly.
"There's Mom. Again playing behind the same brother," replied Dama slowly.
Dama is a new person in the village. But the social spirit of Dama and Dama lunge in the village can not be seen one eye. Although many people are jealous of the success of Dama, especially mothers who feel insecure with the persistence of Dama.
No wonder, many husbands or men who talk about Dama about her goodness and greatness. Unlike the mothers who are jealous of Dama and always curse and indulge in the ugliness of Dama. Sometimes the mothers openly talk in front of Dama that they do not like Dama and the presence of Dama to this village even makes the mothers increasingly excluded.
"Awhile Dama get a drink," said Dama slowly moved from his seat and walked to the kitchen to make drinks and bring food and snacks that are available in a small jar.
Before long, Dama brought a large tray containing cups containing tea and pieces of cake neatly arranged on the plate.
Dama put one by one the cup right in front of the guests and put the large tray under the table.
"Please Mr ... Ms ... Mr. Ustad," said Dama politely invite his guests to taste the dish that has been served by Dama.
"Mother drink yes, Dama," replied the mother while sipping a warm sweet tea that has been provided by Dama.
Dama just nodded small.
"I'm sorry if our arrival here makes you surprised and disturbed, Dama," said the father.
"Sir Sir. The arrival of the Father and Mother did not interfere with the activities of Dama this morning. It just so happens that Dama is not busy this morning" said Dama slowly.
"We want to propose you to our child ustad Adi," said Mr. Slow.
It was like being shot. There was no previous talk from Ustad Adi on Dama.
"This proposal is not wrong? Ustad Adi had never spoken to Dama before" said Dama slowly.
"Ekhemm .. does not want to talk. Wouldn't it be better to love in silence and show with seriousness?" answer Ustad Adi on Dama.
"Yes, but I don't think you should shoot on the spot. Is this what we're forced to do?" dama was disappointed.
The personal affairs that had already brought the two old men were a serious matter. Serious problems must also be anticipated so as not to misunderstand in the future.
"Sorry Dama. I'm sorry if you've made Dama disturbed by this request of the Father," said the father who became unwell.
Dama was disappointed and angry. His heart is very upset. Adi did not have the guts to talk about this long before bringing his Father and Mother to the house of Dama.
"Dama .. not Mother would defend Ustad Adi, Mother's son. But, it is Mother who asks to hurry if she really wants to be serious with you," said Mother seriously.
"Yes ... But it's not like this, ma'am. Sorry Dama can not accept this proposal," said Dama Lirih.
"Why Dama? You haven't forgotten your past? I must understand that. I promise to make you happy" said Ustad Adi loudly.
"Not about that. The measure of happiness also has no benchmark Mr. Ustad. Dama only need comfort and need a partner who can understand Dama and affection the same Lanang. Dama's past is bad and it does not keep Dama down. Dama can prove that Dama can live alone by taking care of Lanang," said Dama firmly.
"Then? Is it hard to try?" tanya Ustad Adi is still investigating Dama.
During this time Dama has never been open about himself and all his life journey in the past.
Dama shook his head slowly. He was very firm in speaking.
"They can't. Forgive Mr. Ustad's Dama," said Dama firmly.
Tok ... tok ....
"Assynnnya ... Dama ..." call someone from the front of the house Dama.
"Valayevansalam ... Mas Rama ..." replied Dama immediately smiled sweetly.
Dama got up and approached Rama and then kissed the back of Rama's hand politely.
"Look Mas. Dama has guests. That's Mr. Ustad Adi, that's Mr. and his mother Mr. Ustad Adi," said Dama introduced his guests to Rama who had just arrived.
Rama complies to Dama and sits beside Dama. Rama saluted all the guests.
"Father and Mother, this is Mas Rama, the future husband of Dama. We're getting married soon. Isn't that right, Mas?" ask Dama slowly.
"Yes. I am Rama, the future husband of Dama. Lanang mana Mah" said Rama slowly. This time Rama directly to the point called Dama with the title Mamah as Lanang called Dama.
"There's behind Pah" Dama replied slowly.
"Papah wants to play with Rama," said Rama slowly avoiding the guests of Dama.
It's not good to bother them either. Let them go home by themselves.
"Surely she's your future husband? I want to know, when did you get married?" ustad Adi to Dama.
