Chapter 253 Arisan Held Part 3

“Mas Arya, it's like it's boiling. Mas Arya can turn off the fire and put it in the pan.”, said Dinda after peeking at how the conditions next to it.

Although he had already told Arya, but the man kept stirring her even when the panc was already boiling.

“Hm? Not long ago, Din. Is it ripe?”, asked Arya while continuing to stir the pancake.

“Max already. Arya did not have to wait for him anymore. If it is boiling, Arya mas can turn off the fire.”, said Dinda.

“Alright.”, Arya says turn off the fire.

“Now put it in the pan. I want to go to the toilet for a while.”, said Dinda who had finished pouring back the pudding in her pancake into the pan.

“Hm..need me to drop off?”, asked Arya.

“What kind of question is that, mas? Yes, of course, no need. I can do it myself.”, said Dinda laughing puzzledly.

Seeing Arya smile, Dinda knew that the man only wanted to tease her. Arya then sat down quietly and picked up the phone in her pocket. He saw some important messages and replied to them. He also occasionally saw some news there.

Message from Ibas:

Said the mother who was told to buy Aryan mas. Why even tell me to (an angry emoticon)

Arya simply smiled without replying to her sister's message. True enough, the person who was asked to buy some materials - materials that are still lacking is actually Arya, but the man instead asked Fam to wake Ibas.

Ibas found out after he arrived in the kitchen. She sends Arya a message because she doesn't know her brother is in the back area of the kitchen.

“Hai Bas, fast once. I thought you were still sleeping. Yesterday it was not until you prepared popcorn to play, yes?”, asked Dinda who had just finished from the toilet.

“Oh, so you bus the culprit. Morning mama still saw some popcorn scattered on the top floor.”, said Inggit while counting back the ingredients that had just been purchased by Ibas and Fam.

They bought at a nearby supermarket because Ibas did not want to be stuck in an obscure traffic jam on the holiday.

Hearing his mother nagging, Ibas just no comment.

“Mas Arya where, Din? Gym huh? He must have run away if there are events like this.”, asked Ibas when Dinda just wanted to go back to the back.

“Engga, Arya mas together with me in the back, help make pudding.”, said Dinda.

“Hah? Arya in the back? Making pudding? The true you? Isn't he going to the gym?”, said Ibas looking towards Fam.

“So I told you, Arya did not go to the gym.”, get a sharp gaze from Ibas, Fam immediately gave clarification.

“When did you say? It's not that you just say we have to buy materials, told mama because Arya mas can't. Mas Arya can not not not be, he was friendly - friendly there.”, Ibas protests are upset because his sleep is disturbed.

“We are not friendly - friendly kok.”, said Dinda immediately left Ibas before the child said even stranger. Especially about what happened last night.

‘Ibas his mouth is right. Though there are Mother, Aunt Meri, Beautiful Aunt, and mama. I'm embarrassed.’, said Dinda decided to shuffle away to continue her work behind before Arya destroyed it.

“As there is a sound Ibas.”, Arya said.

“Hn. He just came home to buy material deposit mama.Mas Aryaa….. This is really left in the pot ga poured into the pan.”, cried Dinda when she realized, the part of the pudding that had been boiling was not moved immediately to the pan and left in the pot.

“Hm?”, Arya is confused looking towards the pan.

“Oh. yes.. “, then he casually puts his phone in a bag and picks up the pan.

“Mas Arya... it must have thickened and some of the shape is not good. Why was left long in the pot, mas.”, Dinda hit her husband's back.

“It can't be put into a pan? Just also briefly.”, comments Arya still do not understand.

He still took the frying pan that was on the table and took the pudding pan and poured it. Plung. Seen some chunks of pudding in some parts have already thickened, especially in the periphery.

Arya then smiled at his wife who had ruffled her waist and sighed.

“Ha-ha.. It turns out that this type of pudding can dry quickly as well. I just found out. Supposedly, you said from the beginning.”, Arya said with an expression as if without feeling guilty.

“Tuh right.. Is correct.. Hiks.. I should not leave Arya mas alone.”, said Dinda suddenly felt sorry.

“Not that bad. Let's try again. This time after boiling, I will put it directly into the pan. Okay!”, said Arya excitedly.

Actually he is not excited, but trying to divert his failure and make sure Dinda is not angry.

“Woah... here apparently.”, said Ibas who followed Dinda.

As soon as he came, he immediately shook his head at the sight before him. An Arya Pradana is wearing a kitchen apron and is holding a pot and a spatula.

“Hn.. I understand now.. so this is what Arya meant last night.”, said Ibas.

“I mean?”, asked Fams who tailed behind her carrying a few extra packs of pudding she had just bought.

“This is Mba Dinda, Mama asked for some fruit flavors too. Bus, please take the mangoes, dragons, and cartons that are in the kitchen, yes. Bring it here, want to be cut - cut.”, said Fams.

Ibas glared at his confused eyes.

“That's you, who was told to be with aunt Meri, bring it here. While Mba Dinda and I do not know if Arya mas will succeed, making this flavored pudding, I will prepare fruit for the other pudding.”, explained Fams.

“Iya. mas Arya here.. Repeat again.”, call Dinda.

He immediately asked Arya to repeat. Dinda and Arya work together to make pudding one by one and coat it. Dinda just sat down while Arya was in charge of putting the boiling pudding into the pan.

Next to them, Fams was busy cutting fruit pieces assisted occasionally by Ibas who walked back and forth. Every now and then Rafa and Samawa run to see them, pick up a few pieces of fruit and go back inside again. They enjoy their own games while their mama is busy in the kitchen.

“Darling, if you're tired. You rest first. Let Fams and Ibas continue.”, Arya said when she saw Dinda look straight on her back.

Arya is worried and assumes that his wife is tired.

“Engga kok, mas only need a backrest and a little selonjoran.”, reply Dinda.

“Ga there but - tapi, you rest first. Sleep an hour in bed. Later if this is not finished you can go back again.”, said Arya.

Dinda just wanted to refute it but Arya did not want to be denied.

“Just relax, I, Ibas and Fams can finish it.”, Arya said.

Fams and Ibas looked at each other.

Dinda finally gave up and walked away from her place.

“Just a minute, guys. Sorry.”, Dinda told Ibas and Fams.

“However, mba. Mba Dinda is pregnant, can not work too heavy.”, said both.

Arya follows Dinda from behind making sure his wife is really up for a break.

*********

It's afternoon. The work in the kitchen is 80% complete. Stay the process of convene and this is the task of Bi Rumi. While others are already sprawled in the living room while enjoying some desserts and cold drinks. They also chatted on the sidelines of the break.

“Bianca and Reza where?”, asked Aunt Mery on aunt Indah.

Later tonight here. Reza just got back from abroad. Bianca is not feeling well. So, he rests first. New night here.

“Hm.. “, response aunt Meri nodded - nod.

While Fams who almost fell asleep on the Sofa after finishing the pudding they listened.

‘Mama is very scary. Though the two were fighting, so they did not want to come at a time like this. Either reason let alone that would be used by his mama to explain their absence tonight.’, thought the slowly-sleeping Fams.

His body he put on the body of the sofa while his legs hang well on the handle.

Arya, Ibas, Fams finally managed to finish their pudding. Reinforcements arrived - arriving from two female cousins Arya from his mother's side who came to help at the last moment.

A tired Ibas decides to give the bird food while Arya decides to go upstairs. Dinda got down after a break of about 1 hour. Then 30 minutes to the end, he climbed back up for a break.

Arya also chose to rest next to his wife instead of joining the roost below. Arya was not aware, because from earlier he was attached to his wife, mother Ratna so confused to approach her son.

“Why follow the sleep here.”, said Dinda who realized Arya hugged her from behind.

“Take it here.”, Arya said, drowning her face in Dinda's neck.

“Oh? Honey, you have a fever?”, asked Arya who felt that Dinda's neck was hotter than her usual temperature.

“Gapapa mas, just soy sauce little.”, said Dinda did not want to make her husband worry.

“Have taken medicine? I'll take you to the hospital for a while, yuk.”, asked Arya.

“Please, gapapa. Already, had taken medication plus vitamins given by dr. Rhymes. It's also gonna be quiet soon. The pudding is all set?”, asked Dinda.

“Still thinking of pudding?”, asked Arya a little angry because she was worried about his wife.

“Friends - mama's friends will come. He said that his mother had long made his home as the host of Arisan. Surely mama wants the best to cook alone and not catering.”, said Dinda.

“Let's relax, everything's done, organized. All are also covered in the living room.”, replied Arya.

Dinda turned to face her husband.

“Do not be fierce - fierce dong.”, said Dinda kissed her husband's lips.

*********

“Mas Reza why the hell? Why is it this way? I'm just saying, I'm just venting doang. Can't you?”, Bianca yelled at her husband who had just returned from abroad.

He did not pick her up and the man went home with his own suitcase in a taxi.

“You don't have to scream - scream like this, Bi. I'm tired too, just got home from work. Okay, you don't pick it up, I'm a grown-up who can go home by myself. But that doesn't mean you're also free to scream - yelling at home vents your anger at something we can't yet get. All there is a timing.”, said Reza trying to calm his wife.

“But mama you don't know the timing and keep asking. That's what you call the timing?”, Bianca replied.

“When did mom ask? Mama was just worried and wanted to offer you tips from her friend. Not that my mom wants to be fast. Reluctant. Don't misunderstand that. Now we're going to Aunt Inggit's house in this emotional state? It is better not to say.”, said Reza who gave advice.

With the unstable emotional state between them, it is impossible to appear in front of a crowd and act as if nothing happened.

“As far as you.”, Bianca said slammed the door.

Reza could only sigh and enter the other room. He immediately undressed and prepared to clean up in the bathroom.

Bianca continued to cry in the room. He regretted why it ended up being this way but he couldn't lower his ego either. Reza also had no initiative to bring him to peace. Now every time they meet since a misunderstanding two weeks ago, they're going to be a cold war.

Plus, the company seems to have the right timing. Reza has been tasked with overseas travel for several weeks, straining their relationship and communication. Reza is still very ambitious pursuing his career, but can not calm Bianca who has emotions and typical passionate - gebu.

Once Reza doesn't pay attention to her, her conclusion always leads to pregnancy. Is it because she's not pregnant yet? Every time there's a question that leads there from the family, he's instantly sensitive.

Bianca also avoids meeting her friends. Especially Dinda. He was like a person who had to race following someone else's timeline. Seeing Dinda with her recent pregnancy made her uncomfortable.

Cringe cring cring

How fortuitous. A message from Dinda just went into Bianca's phone. He asked if the friend who is now his family would come to the Arisan Mama Inggit.

Bianca ignored the message and buried her face in the pillow.

Meanwhile on the other side.

“Why? How listless? The fever is getting worse?”, asked Arya who saw Dinda sitting in front of the dresser. When seen, it looks like his wife has finished dressing up, but the look on his face looks lethargic.

“Not mas. The fever is down, right. Bianca does not reply.”, replied Dinda.

“Already. Maybe she wants to be with her husband first. This is not a family event after all. Just a show arisan mama.”, said Arya kissed his wife's cheek.

Arya chose to wear plain black jeans and a light blue plain shirt with little peach access resembling a line from back to front. While Dinda chose to wear a casual loose kebaya that is more similar to an abaya.

Its appearance is fresh and graceful in a green sage. Dinda just put on her hijab. The event started at 8pm after Isya prayers. Inggit made this arisan event as well as an introductory event for his daughter-in-law Dinda who has entered their family since 8 months ago.

Since their wedding only invited the family, Inggit took advantage of this moment as one of the thanksgiving events. Plus, to close the talk - the talk of his fellow tourists who sometimes still live in the past even though Arya was divorced three years ago.

One by one, Arisan's friends have started to arrive. Those who had already come gathered and picked up the appetizer while chatting with each other. Inggit was ready and joined in greeting the guests in front. Ratna was ready but still did not come out of the guest room because she was confused about having to start a conversation. So, he waited until more people came, so as not to stand out too much.

Arga had come from earlier and was gathering in Ibas' room along with Dito and the others. Like family gatherings in general, they discuss games. This is the first time Arga has been with Aryan cousins since her sister's wedding.

Arga was still unfamiliar with their conversation and just followed the flow. Especially the game. His mother did not allow him to be wasteful so he was rarely seen buying new games such as Dito and Ibas.

Having a laptop at the High School level given by her brother alone has made her happy. If he is tired of studying, he will play ordinary games on his laptop. Some time ago, Arya bought him a new laptop as a gift had successfully entered the college he wanted. However, because the price was too expensive, Ratna told Arga to return it again.

Arya refuses and asks Dinda to explain it to Ratna. Ratna finally collapsed and Arga is using the laptop now.

“Oh, means the first day as a first semester student starts when?”, asked Ibas who was goring his pudding.

“Two more weeks mas.”, replied Arga.

Ibas is the same age as Dinda. Ibas and Dito are only slightly different but still above Arga. Fams is almost Dito's age but still younger. There, Argu the smallest.

So, he would answer, only when people ask him. He was still unfamiliar with this family formation. But in his heart he was happy. They have never been in a large family circle and are also compact like the Aryan family.

Although at first she was worried that her brother was married to a stranger, but now she was grateful. Being among them made Arga feel like he had a big family. Previously there was always only him, mother, and Dinda. Sodara - the mother sodara was also not that close to her before. Because they have no money.

Only since his mother's culinary efforts are selling do they slowly approach again and often come. But, Arga did not like and never felt close to them.

***********

Almost all the arisan members ranging from 30 to 35 people were present at the residence of Inggit. Inggit has also been blending between them along with Aunt Beautiful and Aunt Mery. Kuswan's sister is the most active if invited to be a busy session.

Ratna is also slowly blending in among others beside the beautiful aunt who is already lined up with Mery and Inggit. Meanwhile, Andin had gone down with Rafa and Samawa but had to go back upstairs because the two boys whined to play in his room.

First, maybe they don't like the crowd very much. Second, because they are tired of playing all day.

Dinda and Arya had also come down a few minutes ago and were sitting among the chattering mothers. Some chatted with Arya and Dinda. Ibas, Dito, Arga, and Fams went down after Inggit repeatedly asked Arya to call them.

A few pairs of eyes had already peeked out - peek at Dinda and whisper to each other. Ratna saw it, she just wished the whispers were positive whispers from Arisan friends of Inggit.

“Cantics.”

“Ah... is much younger but Arya also looks young. Suitable.”

“Again pregnant said.”

“Much different from the previous one, yes.”

“More kalem this.”

“Kalo who used to collect like this.”

“Makin handsome aja his son Inggit, yes. The Ibas who just graduated from college. Already working?”

“Dapet good quality si Arya.”

“Still so young.”

“Aryanya is also young. 34, yes. Still young. It used to be too soon to decide to get married.”

“What's the news?”

“Ih. why ask - ask ex. His wife is already there.”

“Hush - hush.. It's about to start still gossip.”

“Cantics.”

“Assalamu’alaikum, Mother - mother. Well, I'm actually not an expert at opening events. I want to say thank you, his presence is almost 100% yes, of our total arisan participants who until now have walked 8 years, yes if not wrong.”, yes, sapa Inggit opened his show this time.

He looked clumsy when he opened the event especially since there was family there. Start with a word of greeting and thanks. Then a little joking why he was absent to hold a rally at his house for some time.

Mothers also chimed in with their signature jokes. Most of them can't wait to be introduced to Inggit's new son-in-law who has never been too publicized since the beginning of marriage because of job interests.

Billed to continue to introduce his son-in-law, Inggit also said that this time he deliberately pushed back into the night so they could get more time. Because in addition to arisan, Inggit also wants to use this time to officially notify about the marriage of his second son who had taken place 8 months ago privately. Just invite family.

On this occasion, even though it has been going on for approximately 8 months, Inggit wants to make this time at once to expect do’a and the blessing of his traveling friends for his child's marriage, hopefully lasting.

“On this occasion, I also told you, there may be mothers who have not been informed. Arya's wife Dinda is pregnant with their first child. Currently the content has reached the age of 4 months.”, Inggit smiled, his hand gesture is always in front like a person clapping every time he spoke.

The mothers - mothers who already knew this information before nodded - nodding. While the new to know for the first time can only be - oh - oh ria, do not expect that the widowhood of second son Inggit is over even now is waiting for the first son.

Speech ‘happy’ mutually authenticate - reply along with notification given by Inggit. Ratna smiled because the response given was very positive according to him. Arya as usual put on her stay cool face. Just when he saw people, he smiled.
