Childhood Match
Not a Perfect Girl but Special

That morning, as usual before leaving for the office of the DPRD of Magelang city, Bu Fina was carrying out her duties as a wife as well as a mother of two single children. Although busy whatever the activity, as much as possible Bu Fina always prepares breakfast. If the business of some houses already has the Embak who is in order, but if the food business at home, the tongues of the men seem not to want to taste the cuisine other than Bu Fina.

Pak Hari her husband also never forgets breakfast before leaving for the office. Husband and wife are very compact in educating their children. Arguably, their families are harmonious families and become role models for residents in the complex. How not? Bu Fina apart from being a wife and mother, she also became a council member from the Magelang City constituency, while Pak Hari, she is a board member from the Magelang Regency constituency. Although both of them have the status of husband and wife, but when serving as representatives of the people they will still uphold professionalism.

Pak Hari family besides being harmonious is also very modern in thinking and acting. However, they still uphold the values in the family and society. Moreover, the family is famous as a generous and happy family. Especially when there are activities in the complex related to religion, they will be in the front row to become donors and set a good example, considering the task they carry is as a representative of the people.

"Good morning the prettiest woman in the house of Mr Hari Susilo?" greet Gala spoiled the mother while preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

"Eehhh... tumben bujang mama child has not dawn already arrived in the kitchen? Wh why? Want to need something?" ask Miss Fina.

"No... Ma.." replied Gala as she opened the refrigerator and took a red apple and ate it.

"Keep, if you don't need something then what?" Miss Fina asked.

"You help me cook." replied Gala.

"Wait...wait...are you no longer nervous? Lecturer's sister wants to help mama cook?" Ms Fina was astonished while holding the eel of her eldest child was her body hot?

"Mama... What the hell, Ma?" gala responds with her mother's attitude that doubts her arrival in the soup kitchen so early.

"It's not hot, but...? Ohhh. Mama knows, and this time mama's guess must be real. Sis Dosen must be wooing mama because there is another want, right?" guess Bu Fina got a sweet smile response from her eldest son.

"Say, what's wrong?" Miss Fina asked again.

Gala began to seriously talk.

"Ma. mama don't have to worry, just again Gala will bring your favorite daughter-in-law who helps cook. So it was not Gala who helped." Gala's words simultaneously made Bu Fina surprised happy.

"Oh yeah??? You serious? Tell me Mama, when are we going home to propose to her?" Miss Fina was impatient.

"Saturday next, two o'clock in the afternoon...Is Mama ready?" ask Gala.

"Gala. let alone next Saturday, you ask now also mom and dad are ready to take leave" said Bu Fina.

"Yes, don't dong Ma now. Pity Gendhis and his family is not ready" Gala replied.

"Ohhhh... So the beautiful girl who managed to take the heart of this favorite child of mama is called Gendhis? Not Alena?" ask Miss Fina.

"Yes not laah Ma. It was Riko's writing. I've thought of Alena as my own sister, where Gala might marry Alena" Gala said.

"So that's it...! Tell me, you want to know what kind of girl she is and where did she come from? Is he also a lecturer like you?" ask Miss Fina.

"No.." replied Gala.

"Are you a doctor, a flight attendant, or?" guess Bu Fina because all this time Gala always refused when betrothed to beautiful girls and established, so she believes that the choice of Gala this time must be higher criteria.

"Not... Mama.." replied Gala.

"Then?" Ms. Fina was curious.

"She... the seventh semester Gala student." replied Gala ahirnya.

"What's? Your student? Didn't my mom hear wrong?" Ms. Fina hysterically heard Gala's reply.

"Yes it's not... Ma.." said Gala sure

Although it felt a little strange because it did not match the expectations of Bu Fina, but the middle-aged woman was trying to understand her son's choice. So far Gala has never been wrong in choosing her education and career, of course for the business of prospective wives, Gala must have considered it very carefully.

"Of the many girls who tried to approach you, but you chose Gendhis. Mama wants to know, what kind of girl is she?" ask Miss Fina.

"Ma... Gala had not enough words to explain how perfect Gendhis was in Gala's eyes. Even if I am tired of telling her kindness, it is not enough. But, as time goes by Gala is sure Mama will also think the same about the girl. She is not a perfect girl, because perfection belongs to God alone. But he is special and Gala is sure, Gendhis is a good life partner, which God willing will make Gala happy. " gala said as she looked down on the mother from behind the back that had given birth and raised her while trying to get rid of doubts over Gala's choice. It all emanated from the furrow of Bu Fina's eyebrows as if there was a fear of losing her beloved son.

Hearing that, Bu Fina's heart felt calm. He finally returned to welcome the happy news his son gave.

"Alright then, later mama talk about this good news to your father also Riko. After that we will prepare everything. Your sister must be very happy with this news, because she has long wanted to see there is a sister-in-law in this house" said Ms. Fina ahirnya.

"Thank you.., Ma..." Gala let go of Bu Fina and then she unceasingly kissed the hand of the Mother to show her gratitude and devotion.

"🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼"

The sound of Bu Fina's cell phone was ringing from the table. Soon the woman took her cell phone to find out who had been bothering her this early.

"Who, Ma?" Gala curious.

"Oh. Your sister called. Long live him. Just talking directly to the phone." replied Bu Fina then lifted her phone and then on the loudspeaker so that Gala also listened to the conversation of the mother and child.
