Just getting out of the car, his mother had approached with her hand holding a mobile phone while being pointed at his face.
“This is how his son just came home, Kek.” Ani asks Deeva to say hello to the person whose face fills the phone screen.
“Deeva, how are you? I haven't seen yah.” in a long time I heard a greeting from that flat object.
“Deeva good, Kek.” The answer though lazy. Who is not lazy to try? He said he was betrothed to his grandson, but the Dirga who was the grandson of the Rahardian family who was a school with him actually published a relationship with another girl.
“Tomorrow directly picked up with your future husband well at the station. Mama said, Deeva would not want to take the train to be picked up at home?” ask again. But Deeva did not respond and instead left first.
Ani smiled awkwardly, so bad because Deeva ignored the grandfather of her future husband. “Kek, sorry well Deeva directly left when grandfather has not finished talking. He can't wait to go to Jogja like that. His goods are many should be cleaned first.”
After a long stale break, Ani catches up with Deeva into the house. He rushed to the room but the girl was not there. Looking for the child just wayangnya it to the back garden which is his favorite place but the result is nil. Back inside the house, Ani found her daughter feeding fish in the aquarium in the family room. The girl was seen several times sighing long while staring at the colorful fish that swam to and fro devouring every floating feed grain.
“At the house of your future husband there is also an aquarium, you can feed the fish there. Or these fish want to be brought can also be.” Ani stood next to Deeva, took a little feed from the jar in her daughter's hand and put it in the aquarium.
Deeva placed a jar of fish feed next to the aquarium and sat on a sofa not far from there. Ani catches up with him and sits down next to Deeva.
“Why is it so lethargic? Sad because later mama malem fly?” ask Ani.
Deeva let out a long sigh and looked at her mother fixedly. “Ma..” said slowly.
“Can I keep school here?”
“This is my free school, Ma. Scholarship, may be able to continue college scholarship as well.”
“Sometimes I think, in the beginning Dad did not have us to live hard, but Mama was always there for me.”
“Why don't we kayak first anyway, Ma?”
“I don't have to be fooled. Mama do not know if people who want to be betrothed with me just like other people?”
“Same of others? How can you talk about that? Meet the same person also not.” Answer Ani. “Nih Mama give you a look at her photo yah.” Ani took her phone.
“Nevent gone, Ma. Deeva already knows, the granddaughter of the same schoolteacher Deeva. His name is Dirga, the head of OSIS at school.” Answer Deeva.
Ani got confused herself, Dirga? He had no idea what his daughter meant.
“When I knew in the beginning that Dirga was the grandson of Rahardian's grandfather, I was very fond of being betrothed to him. I'll take her desperately. But Zonk, Ma. Zonk!” lamented Deeva.
“Zonk how, baby? I don't know who Dirga is. Your future husband, Shaka. Arshaka Rahardian, he's the head of a private bank in Jogja. Not the chairman of OSIS, you get info from where, ngawur it.” Obviously Ani.
“So not Dirga?” tanya Deeva, “but Dirga granddaughter Frans, Ma. Valid info, I got from the school data center. Can't be wrong.” Further.
“Mama don't know who Dirga you mean, which is definitely not her future husband. Soon again mama must be ready to go to the airport, now we finish your things first before mama leaves.” Ani pulled her daughter's hand to wake up.
“Ma, please I don't want.” Deeva Whim.
“Mama is a kayak in the movies, fooling children for the sake of return. Mama don't think about what I feel?”
“Kalo mama so how am I? Do you want to be betrothed?” continued.
“Iya.” Deeva nodded.
“Of course mom wants to be betrothed. Parents also choose a mate for their children not original. You think mom would agree that?” Deeva just silently listened, the look in her eyes looked so deep.
“So you said reply?”
“Iya, there is indeed a little element of return, but not completely.”
“Mama knows maybe you are not old enough to understand the decision you take. You must think mama maksa and do not care about how you feel.”
“Dengerin mama well. True, you school can be a scholarship so when our family economy is down and your school does not have any effect. But our lives are changing, right? Your late father's brothers drifted away when we needed help, they were busy for various reasons. Luckily Rahardian's grandfather helped us. Modalin business until the company that has gone out of business can recover and even grow like now.”
“We're lucky, Deeva. Not only financial help grandfather also want to embrace us like family. He even gave his granddaughter to be your future husband. Mama has investigated, her son is good. More mature than you so can definitely snack.” Obviously at length.
“But Deeva won't, Ma.”
“Jalanin aja first, you guys must match.” Ani's Speech.
“It certainly doesn't fit. Anyway Deeva does not want, Ma.” Answer Deeva. “Original mom, I'm heartbroken again, Mom. It could even be betrothed, the school is not finished yet.”
“Kan acquaintance first dear not directly married. Later if you know you will like it too. Mama guarantee. Try it first, jalanin. If you often meet also long time like.” Ani's Speech.
“Udah don't fuss! Let's Mama help you clean up before leaving.” Further.
“Mama, coercion anyway! It's democracy, Ma. Everyone is free to voice his choice.” Deeva Protests.
“Vocalizing options? This is not Deeva's election. Most prospective husbands if only one so no need to choose!”
“But, Ma..”
“No buts, Arshaka Rahardian is the best.”
“Kalo is the best yes already mama who married her. I don't mind.” Deeva said.
Furious, Ani hit his daughter's lips. “Kalo likes origin!”
“Serious, Mom. I'm okay with young Papa too” ledek Deeva.
“Deeva!” ani Sentak.
“I'm kidding, Ma. I help mama clean up the clothes she wants to take abroad. Got me later can be helped with Elisa.” Said Deeva, “but if for example later I do not match the candidate choice mama or she does not like me, can yah be canceled matchmaking?”
“Jalanin first time. Anyway no matter what happens later, our relationship with grandfather should not be tenuous. But big hope mama, you guys become a happy couple.” Answer Ani. “Understandable?” continued.
Deeva nodded, “understand, as long as she did not like for sure this matchmaking is off.” Inner Deeva.
“Child pinter.” Praise Ani while hugging her cunning smiling daughter back there. Deeva's brain is full of ticks so that this matchmaking can be canceled.
