Setting: before Dinda got pregnant
“Halooo... Mba Dinda... how are you? Geez I miss Dinda.”, cried Fams who saw Dinda just arrived from a distance.
Next to him is none other than Arya Pradana. The man who every three months was forced to attend a family gathering.
One way that the Pradana family can remain closely related to each other is through arisan. Actually not the nominal, but the moment of gathering - gathering. Otherwise, they might only meet once a year.
Each of the close family actually often meet. However, for a family that is far - far away like the interstellar pounding it is not necessarily able to meet.
Every time this event takes place, Arya and Ibas become the most dizzy. Arya had been absent for a long time from family events. In the first year of her marriage to Sarah, Arya regularly attended this event. However, in the second and third years, Arya was never seen again.
The man had just been seen again a few months after he got divorced because Inggit's mom didn't stop forcing him. As a result, Arya had to turn her brain to checkmate all the talk that offended her household problems. Of course, Arya was the expert on that matter.
“Wah.. I miss you too. You're how Fams is. Rarely go home. Is it because there is me?”, said Dinda joking.
Before Arya got married, Fams often came home to play and stay overnight. But after that, the nose of cousin Arya was never seen.
“Not really... indeed there is no more moment.”, replied Fams invite Dinda to sit between the sofas - sofas that are there.
Aryans? The man had already disappeared shortly after meeting Dito just now. Along with Ibas.
“Why? Nyariin mas Arya, huh? Just calm. As usual, they must be in Dito's room, playing PS. His room is wide. From earlier there have been many in and out of his room.”, said Fams.
This time the event was held at the residence of Aunt Meri. More precisely the house that has not been lived in for a long time and only lived by Edo, Gita, and Ditto. While Aunt Meri herself has more often lived with her husband in Kalimantan to take care of their business.
But when he comes home, he will circle all the houses of his brothers. The soup is indeed. But if the family gossip is also the number one.
“Hai Gita, how are you?”, asked Dinda when Fams had invited her to the area of women whose age is not much different.
One of them is Gita, the younger sister of Edo. Gita's not as cute as Fams. He was still shy and never greeted first. If Dinda is an introvert, then Gita is more introverted.
“Eh mba Dinda's. Just arrived, mba? Thank God I am good. You how are you? Where's Arya?”, she asked.
“Obviously, already gathered in the den of the rogues.”, Fams replied pointing to the second floor where Ditto's room is located.
“Where am Arya?”, asked Fams curiously.
“Hm? What's the matter?”, asked Dinda confused.
“Ga well? Romantic no?”, tanay Fams curious.
“That you are not polite he asked. Dinda will be embarrassed.”, said Gita.
“Ha-ha.. Suddenly so hot, yes.”, said Dinda pura - pura fanned herself using the palm of her hand.
“Ohiya... Where are your newlyweds? How not to look?”, asked Aunt Meri who just asked her ART to bring more food to the table located in the middle room.
“Oh.. Bianca and Reza are Honeymoon. They were late to order tickets. I said, yes, change the destination. But both do not want and continue to force until there is a ticket available.”, replied Aunty Indah who had joined nimbrung there.
It seems like all the family members are complete.
“But we are too mepet loh held his shield. Just about last month Bianca and Reza got married. Already done.”
“I still feel at Arya's wedding, you know?”
“Iya really, because after Arya's wedding, the feeling is not stopping - stop the show. Anyway there is aja.”
“Dinda no signs - mba signs Inggit?”
“Hush, no need to ask - ask. Later if the provision is also given.”
“Iya right, let enjoy the time - romantic time first.”
Arya is seen coming out of Ditto's room. He walked downstairs and approached Dinda's seating area with the other cousins.
“Honey, can come with me for a moment?”, call Arya.
“Cieeee cieeeee..already level darling - nih mas Arya's. Ih... rich people dating deh.”, seductive girls who are there, including Fams. He is the leader of his gang.
“Makanya, do not be small - small already dating. Learn first the real. School was high. Just this way has been splashy.”, said Arya with a cold voice.
“Ihhhh cold...”, continued the children continue to tease Arya.
The man was just a whimper - a head bobble looking at his nephew's behavior. Unlike in the office where the charisma and aura of Arya spilled like a waterfall. If in the family environment, he is more often a month - monthly children.
“Mas Arya why call me?”, asked Dinda confused.
“Eh Arya where are you going? Want to run away, will you? Until invite - invite the wives of all.”, shouted aunt Meri who nosy kebangetan.
Arya's idea to escape from this arisan madness can also be read by him.
“Enggaa.. Arya's just gonna go up there for a second. Something to look for. Later also down again, kok.”, said Arya ngeles bajaj.
“Search what the hell?”
“Udah sih Mba yu. Let it go if you want to go to the room first. Busy very.”
“But, not yet on a meal loh. Dinda you haven't eaten, have you?”
“Let's aja aunty. Just a moment, Dinda will come down again.”
Aunt Meri finally let go of her fangs as she saw Dinda also supporting Arya.
“Yes already, don't forget ya down again. Our show hasn't started yet, loh.”, cried aunt Meri.
While Arya had already pulled Dinda's arm to go up.
“How does the story just start? What time is it?”, Arya grumbled in a quiet voice.
“From earlier the feeling has been haha hihi, what just started. Want until the morning of the show?”, Arya was frustrated.
From the beginning he came, he had already fled to Ditto's room only to watch the boys play PS, Ditto was engrossed in his photography, and he was still there, Ibas even returned to be a child join malakin children play PS. While Edo. Hah, Arya even had a headache if long-time is beside her.
He could not stand being in the middle of the chaos of this family atmosphere and wanted to escape immediately. The first thing she noticed was Dinda. Better he pull Dinda to rest faster.
“Mas Arya need what?”, asked Dinda doubtful - doubtful and confused.
“When will you be there? I want to go crazy.”, said Arya.
“Eh? Isn't Arya playing in Ditto's room?”
“Sini. Hm.. it looks like our room is this.”, said Arya pulled Dinda inside.
“Mas Arya!”, Dinda was shocked because the man immediately pulled her up - arrived inside.
Chequek! Arya locked the door.
“Mas, is this really our room? It's not that female cousins usually sleep with other female cousins and so do men. Where is enough room if both of them?”, asked Dinda confused.
“It's quiet.”, said Arya approaching Dinda.
“Mas Arya want to do?”, asked Dinda confused because Arya continues to narrow the distance between them.
“Wuah.. Here there is his balcony too. Look at it mas.”, Dinda immediately dodged and walked towards the balcony.
However, Arya was not that stupid. He immediately pulled and kissed his wife softly.
********
“Mas Arya, can I ask you something?”, Dinda said as they sat quietly on the balcony of the room.
“Hn?”, Aryan response short.
“I see that Arya's relationship with Edo mas is not good. Is there a problem?”, asked Dinda ventured.
“Hn? Why did you arrive - suddenly ask about it?”, asked Arya in wonder.
“Mas Arya promises not to act excessively.”, although at that time Dinda was unsure.
“Hn? When did I overdo it?”, asked Arya.
“When I got into a conversation with Dimas. Mas Arya instantly pulled me and got angry - angry.”
“Yes is different, Din. She... You two are with her in the car park, and you think anyone thinks of anything other than what I think? Anyone if they see it would be misunderstood.”
“But I really didn't do anything. Just talk. About tea.”
“You're just talking about tea. But Dimas? Are you sure he's just talking about tea?”
“Then what about Arya herself?”
“I why? I never created a situation that people could misunderstand.”
“Ada.”, Dinda replied.
“Who? Erick?”
“Mba Sacred. Arya was very close to him. Keep some women who are rumored to approach Mr. Arya.”, explained Dinda.
“Suci? He's just MA. Then women? Which woman?”, asked Arya.
“Yang called - called by the children of Business and Partners. I heard them talking in the bathroom. Said Arya was approaching someone.”
“Hm? I don't feel like I'm approaching anyone. Ah.. you know what? Maybe what they mean is you.”
“Hm?”, asked Dinda confused.
“They may have accidentally heard me talking to you on the phone. Maybe they concluded that I was close to someone.”, explained Arya.
“Oiya, why did you arrive to talk about Edo?”, asked Arya again.
“Mas Arya promise first will not be excessive.”, said Dinda want to make sure.
“Ya, although I don't understand where the excess is.”
“Hm. Every time there was a family meeting, I felt guilty for not saying it to Arya. But, the time of Bianca's application event around last month at the top, Mas Edo approached me at our inn.”, said Dinda.
Hearing this, Arya immediately gave a reaction. Reactions that are not exactly relaxing.
“Terus?”, asked Arya with a tense face.
“Thank you, Arya already wants to be angry.”
“Yes who's not angry? Why did he try to approach you at the inn? There must be something he did and made you uncomfortable, right? Whahuh? Try saying.”, said Arya.
“Mas Arya had promised not to be angry - angry. Why now even angry - angry.”, protest Dinda.
If this was the story, he wouldn't dare to say it.
“Iya, yes. I won't be angry. Try telling me.”
“I feel Edo mas not like Arya mas and keep telling me that Arya mas actually just toying with me. Mas Arya is not really serious and just wants to take advantage of the opportunity like before Arya mas has a special relationship with her lover.”, explained Dinda.
Every time Dinda attends a family meeting and meets with Edo. Memories of the moment reappeared and disturbed him. How does Edo's hateful gaze look and his words about Arya.
Dinda tried not to think too much about it.
“Heh. He should be a writer. He was too reliable to give such an essay chronology. First, I never approached her boyfriend. We met without Edo. But because her lover wanted to ask for my help which turned out to be unpleasant. Second, Edo may have a jealous issue because since childhood always compared - compare with me.”, explained Arya.
Dinda scrunched her forehead still did not understand.
“His girlfriend came to see me asking for help by saying Edo used her. And finally I knew that it was just the intellect - the wits alone. I openly asked Edo to break up with the woman. His taste for women is bad, but I didn't expect him to date a trickster.”
“Edo has a trust issue and does not believe my talk. He then fries the story and tells Sarah. They fight's. And they finally broke up. Somehow the story Edo always blamed me on that. Until he made that strange story to you.”, continued Arya again.
Dinda nodded - nodding her head about the story Arya told.
‘I don't know Edo or Mba Sarah. What they look like. I only know Arya. All right, I decided to trust him.”, Dinda said inwardly.
“Oiya Din, by the way, you dare to sit on the balcony at this hour?”, Arya asked Dinda.
“Oh, do you mean Arya?”, asked Dinda wonder.
“See the clock, what time is it? We're on the balcony night - night. In front of him is a swimming pool. Silent mood. You know not the hell that aunt Meri's house is from the Dutch era loh.”, said Arya still has not stopped.
Dinda looked at her watch.
‘Jam 12 nights.’, said Dinda in heart.
He then moved his gaze around for a while. They are in the same place with the same sitting position. But, the words of Arya just made the atmosphere become 180 degrees changed completely.
If you think about it, the design of Aunt Meri's house is like the design of the old house. Rome's feathers Dinda instantly goosebumps. Dinda, who had been sitting at a distance with Arya, slowly began to shift to narrow the distance between them.
Arya smiled mischievously beside him. Dinda had swallowed her saliva so her courage instantly changed.
“Mas Arya what - what the hell.”, said Dinda who also felt Arya was working on it but the possibility was only 10% in her mind.
Tok tok tok tok tok tok tok
“Hah! Mas Arya..”, Dinda who had narrowed the space between them in a slow way - land like a snail, immediately jumped sharply towards Arya and took refuge behind the chest of his field.
Dinda was so shocked that someone knocked on the door from the outside.
“Woh woh woh again why in tandem?”, said Ibas and Ditto catch their cousins in the room? ‘
Ditto who was holding the camera at that time did not even hesitate to capture the scenery in front of him.
Hearing the sound of the cekrek check several times, Dinda lifted her head from Arya's chest.
“Loh, it was not Arya key mas yes?”, asked Dinda directly keceplosan.
“Waduh.. My sister-in-law is bad too huh. The door to his room is locked. What do you want?”, asked the two, they are still in front of the door.
“Oiya, the door of this room is broken. So even though it is in the key, it can still be opened from outside.”, said Ditto explained.
“Eh? Why is that?”, asked Dinda wonder.
“What did you want to do earlier Din?”, said Arya even back teasing Dinda in front of her cousin and sister.
“Mas Arya is very nosy anyway.”, said Dinda hit - mukul Arya does not accept.
“Oiya one more. The correct clock is like.”, Arya said showing the clock on her wrist that still shows at 11 pm.
Arya realizes that Dinda's watch is broken and tries to prank it.
“Ah yes, aunt Meri house is not built from the Dutch era really. Still new. But doi emang likes the same style first.”, said Arya smiling ignorantly.
“Mas Aryaaaa!!!”, cried Dinda.
