Gawai Adisti rings. Call in from Agung.
“Assalamu’alaikum, Kak.” Pause.
“It was from Abang's phone. Some try to hide by teasing Brother. Good thing Abang Bramasta recorded it all. My father and mother did not know the woman. Do you know me?” Pause a minute.
“This is again investigated by the bodyguards. Bramasta's brother has returned to the office, just.” Pause.
“The situation is under control. Fathers and relatives plan to be meeting ba’da Jum’atan later. Now we're all having lunch. Brother ate?” Pause.
“The woman is still being interrogated by her guards Brother. Later more clearly Brother asked Dad just after the office. Sister in the office until afternoon?” Pause
“Alhamdulillah if ba’da Jum’atan Kakul can go home. So that you can join the meeting later. No big brother at a time like this, Disti pity Dad. Must handle everything alone.” Pause.
“OK. See you later, brother. Don't stop by later when you get home.” Pause.
“Wa’alaikumussalam.”
A couple facing Father and Mother in the middle room used for family meetings with close relatives. They were watching a video that Bramasta made earlier by connecting Dad's device with the TV.
“Kang Gumilar, hapunten pisan. Duh, we feel bad about the incident earlier.” said The Husband.
“Aya naon_There's what_, Sep?” ask his cousin, Yosep, who lives in Cianjur.
“Si Irma eta tatanggi. Putrana Pa Lurah's. Sanes dulur urang_Si Irma is my neighbor. Mr. Lurah's son. Not our brother_.”
“Naha or anjeuna ngiring kadieu_Why can she come here_?” ask Mommy.
“Tah eta, Tea. Abdi ge teu nyangka anjeunna nekat ngiring kadieu. The da teu samobil. Manehna nyandak car nyalira_Nah it's Tea. I didn't expect him to come here either. Because not all cars. He brought his own car_,” wife of Yosep bowed, “At the time of the incident, I and A Yosep were shopping for oranges for later studies. Once we arrived, we immediately got the story from A Dharma. After we checked into the neighbor's house where the interrogation was, apparently Irma.”
“Eulueh..” Daddy stroking chest.
“Si Irma heard from Santi, my eldest son, about Adisti-Bramasta's invitation from Kang Gumilar, she kept making him want to come along. Already said this event is only for the family but he keukeuh. He said he was a big fan of Bramasta. Our children were not there because Santi had just given birth and Dela had an event at her school. We didn't know he was coming here in his own vehicle. We did not expect there would be an incident like this.”
The other relatives are bobbing heads, “Teu boga kaera nyaa_Gak have a shame ya_.”
“Geulis-geulis but kandel kulit beungeut_Beautiful-beautiful but thick face_.”
“Geulis but gelo kos nu teu boga adab_Beautiful but don't have adab like crazy_.”
“Absolutely she's a widow?” ask Mommy.
“Muhun Tea. 2 Months to be a widow. Married 3 years but her husband can not stand the behavior of the former pisan_lazy slacker_ but his hobby is asking for money just to buy clothes, accessories also eat in restaurants,” said Yosep's wife.
“Subhanallah.”
“So the Irma came here on her own initiative, no one told her to come or paid people to make a riot here?” ask Dad.
Asep nodded, “Muhun Kang.”
“Ya. Please call one of the guards here.”
The Irma incident made relatives who brought their siblings to watch the viral couple become self-aware. They repatriated their brothers and relatives who did not belong to the nuclear family.
The close relatives agreed. Because it's for the common good. Do not let important and sacred events be tainted with tragedy due to human negligence.
The female relatives seemed to separate themselves into the dining room. They prepare the cakes served on the plate for the afternoon study ba’da Ashar. Cakes in boxes and rice boxes have just come from bakery stores and catering services ordered.
While male relatives help prepare the sound system and microphone to be used. Some help roll out carpets in carports and tents. And Adisti's female cousins gather in the room Adisti uses to prepare a souvenir of recitation. Some neighbors helped prepare everything.
“Assalamu’alaikum,” Great Salam coincides with Adzan Ashar.
Agung crucified his older relatives and greeted his cousins who gathered on the terrace. Mother approached Agung, Agung immediately crucified Mother.
“Alhamdulillah Brother can go home early. Mother pity to Daddy. Gotta handle this alone. Coupled with the incident that made Bramasta angry earlier to the point of canceling lunch here,” Mother said while hugging Agung.
Agung stroking Mother's shoulders, “Don't worry Bun.. Bramasta's brother had already acted appropriately by recording all his conversations with the woman.”
Mother shrinks the tears that pool in the corner of her eyes, “Mother worries Nak Bramasta will judge the bad of our big family, Kak.”
“Mother don't think too far like that. I'm sure Brother Bramasta isn't that kind of person. Brother already feels that woman is not our relative but an intruder. Yes already.. Mother do not worry. Which father?”
“Dad has left for mosque.”
“Ya already Sister following Dad ya Bun. Please keep your sis bag in your room first. Assalamu’alaikum,” Agung handed over his backpack to Mother. Then hurry to the mosque.
“Eh, beurat geuning!” said Mother while shaking her head, “Si Brother mah..”.
Mother knocked Adisti's room, “Dek.” Mother opened the room door.
“Eh, again pray.” Mommy sees the clothes and veil that will be worn by Adisti during the recitation event later has been well prepared. Hanging neatly near the dresser.
Stacks of goodybags containing souvenirs have also been neatly arranged near the bed Adisti. Mother opened one of the goodybags to check the contents. There are pashmina and also prayer mats that are rolled in separate clear mica plastic. Beautifully decorated with artificial flowers on top of the lid. Perfume sary’i non alcohol, electronic prayer beads and morning and evening dhikir books with the names Adisti and Bramasta on the cover are packaged in one plastic mica.
Mommy smiles haru when stroking embroidery on a goodybag bag made of cream-colored blacu cloth. Embroidery with dark purple colored thread is the same as the color of the strap of the bag handle. Adisti and Bramasta. Just this morning the goodybag bag came while the contents had come since yesterday. Bramasta people from B Group who prepare everything. Our Lady prays, grateful for all the facilities God has given her family.
“Mother?” ask Adisti, “What is it?”
“No Why, Deck. Mommy is happy and moved Adek is given convenience after going through various difficulties.”
“Alhamdulillaah.” Adisti took off his mucus, “Adek so want to cry nih Bun.”
“Ngak.. don't cry. Bride-to-be do not cry, later his face bengep.”
“Kata Kisar, Abang Bramasta may fall in love with Adek because of Adek's bumbling face after falling in the ravine.”
“Isssh the Sister.” Mother did not become melow because Adisti words even now Mother chuckles, “Udah ah, Mother wants to pray continue to be ready. You are also Dek.”
