Duren Mateng's
Chapter 21. Grandma's Teachings
Alvira is currently in the food court along with Yeni. After taking a look at the clothes of the children earlier, the two decided to chat more in this place.
"Why didn't you get married invite me?" tanya Alvira took a sip of the orange juice she ordered earlier.
"We didn't throw a big party. Just invite the big family," Yeni said, commenting on her smile.
"I don't know if you're married. If I had known, I would have attended" Alvira said.
Yeni did not respond to Alvira's remarks. The woman looked at the face of her son who was in her arms.
"Oh yeah, what's your son's name?" ask Alvira.
"Raffa," Yeni replied briefly.
"Halo Rafa, later if the grandpa in Aunt's stomach has been born, you go to Auntie's house, take her to play" said Alvira who looks so happy with Rafa.
Yeni simply nodded her head while commenting on her smile. He looked at his old friend for a long time, then turned to look at his son.
After a long time of talking and finishing the food they ordered, the two also chose to decide to return to their homes.

In the evening, Arumi invites Fahri to come to Alvaro's house, hearing that his favorite grandson is sick, making them anxious.
The couple was already standing at the door. Arumi rang the bell at the door. However, his gaze occasionally gazed towards the unit opposite to Alvaro's residence.
"What's wrong?" asked Fahri confused, sometimes the man followed the direction of the wife.
"Neighbor Varo, our future son-in-law, Mas." Arumi chuckled amusedly as she closed her mouth.
"really?" tanya Fahri made sure.
"really. The Varo is still selling expensive, so it is difficult to get a wife," grumbled Arumi.
Shortly after, Alvaro opened the door. The man looked at the astonishment of his parents, as they were currently standing at Alvaro's door, but his eyes were on Rania's door.
"Why are you going to visit here or the next door neighbor?" chirps Alvaro asked the two couples who had eaten that age.
Fahri and Arumi immediately turned to look towards his handsome son. "Mama is just curious, what is she doing now" Arumi said with a smile.
"Yes, how do I know. After all he is none of my business" said Alvaro indifferently who chose to step first into the house. Avoiding questions about his front-door neighbor that makes dizziness.
"Look! Your son's behavior is very similar to yours. Expensive sales pitch that eventually collapsed as well," whispered Arumi to her husband. The woman remembers how she chased Fahri and made you her five hundred million man first.
After saying the sentence, Arumi breezed in first, leaving her husband.
"But still, stubborn as you," replied Fahri who did not want to lose to his wife. The man entered his son's dwelling, and closed the door.
When he saw the arrival of his grandparents, Bima looked very happy. The little boy immediately rushed into the arms of the two.
"Grandmother was worried, said papa Bima had a toothache," said Arumi squatted to align herself with the height of her grandson.
Bima nodded, "Yes, Grandma. Bima's back teeth hurt. The doctor said don't eat too much chocolate ..." the little man thought, recalling the ban that Rania said this morning.
"Well, don't eat too much candy, either. Keep having to brush your teeth before going to bed" he continued.
"Bima must obey what Dr. Ma said. Grandma and Grandpa were very sad to hear Bima was sick." Fahri is the one who opens the voice. The man's hand rubbed the top of his grandson's head.
"Not anymore, Grandma. Bima was already taking medication given by a doctor. Bima's teeth are healed," the little man raved.
"Ah yes, Bima wants to tell the same story of grandma and grandpa," he said again.
"What story, my granddaughter?" asked Fahri who started to put his ears, because of the age factor, his hearing is currently a little problematic.
Bima pulled the hands of her grandparents, invited her to sit on the sofa.
While Alvaro, just staring at the behavior of his only son while shaking his head. He could guess what his son was trying to tell his parents. Of course the discussion about this morning, Rania who treated her teeth, so she asked to make Rania as a substitute for her mother.
The three docked each other, listening to Bima carefully, like complex mothers who were gossiping about something.
"really?" arumi asked so surprised to hear the news from Bima. The woman immediately set her eyes on Alvaro.
"Varo, it's time you chased your neighbor. Bima bless you this time," Arumi told her son.
Alvaro sighed, then then rubbed his face violently. "Ma, how many.eanuta given blessing by Bima. I have dated many women who he gave his blessing, and in the end, Bima again chose a new person. The words of children should not be too listened to" argued Alvaro.
Bima who heard Alvaro's words immediately opened her lips. Slowly the man's tears fell down his puffed cheeks.
"Son, papa didn't mean to hurt you, honey."
"Bad papa! Papa had promised to grant Bima's request!" Bima got up from her seat, then ran to the room. The little man locked himself in the room.
Seeing his grandson sulking, Fahri tried to meet Bima. Alvaro is currently being lectured by his mother.
"Varo, how difficult it is for you to realize Bima's wishes. From the beginning I have promised, if Bima is the one who gives an assessment for your future wife. Now, Bima has chosen Rania to be her mother among the women you met before. What's wrong if you realize your son's wish!" furious Arumi, scolding his only son.
"Ma, getting married is not easy. Not like flipping a palm," Alvaro argued.
"At the same time, the girl doesn't like me ...."
"There's no harm in you chasing him!" tukas Arumi cut off Alvaro's speech.
"What?!" Alvaro looked at his mother in disbelief.
"Yes, you go after the girl. Make him like you. As long as I know, that woman should be fought for. In reality, we women are being chased, not chased!" Arumi slightly raised her tone, making Alvaro no longer answer the words of the woman who had given birth to him.
"Think Bima, pity her. She needs a mother figure. Don't be selfish for following your will. Your love is not enough for her." Arumi tried to speak softly to Alvaro.
"All right, I'll consider it" said Alvaro after listening to his mother's advice.
While inside the room, the two men of different generations are seen peering, staring at Arumi. When Alvaro is caught off guard, Arumi raises his thumb, giving the code that Alvaro approves Bima's request.
"How's Kek? Does papa agree?" ask Bima in a quiet voice.
"It looks like your father agreed to it" said Fahri, who was still watching the two.
"It turns out that the grandmother taught it was good, even though she only pretended to cry, but papa immediately agreed to it," said Bima.
"That's your grandmother. When you were a child, you were taught to lie" Fahri complained.
"I'm sorry Papa, for lying to you. And thank you grandma, for teaching me to lie to papa," said the little man who made Fahri pat her on the forehead.
