"Mother!"
Rania quickly hugged the figure of a middle-aged woman who was none other than her mother.
"The wicked mother, her son just returned from abroad after many years, even immediately left. Where left his same most annoying man on the face of the earth again," grumbled the girl in the arms of the mother.
Suddenly, Santika was immediately chuckled when she heard the princess's words. Gently, the middle-aged woman rubbed Rania's back.
"Sorry dear, Mommy is here to help Ms. Citra. Understandably, it is still the first child, so there are still many things that must be taught," explained Santika.
The middle-aged woman did this because the ponakan, Citra, is the son of her older sister who died a few years ago. So, if he wasn't the one accompanying his nephew, who else would he be?
"Meaning, today Mommy can not go home dong?" rania asked, blasting her lips.
"Yes, sorry, baby,"
"So Daddy?"
"You don't know Dad, where he wants to be away from Mommy,"
"Basic bucin,"
Santika again chuckled when she heard the princess' words. And at that moment he only realized that since then there was a handsome-looking man standing behind Rania.
"Loh, Bayu. God, I'm sorry that aunt hasn't seen you since. Rania the dateng-dateng has been playing a spindle," said the middle-aged woman while patting the princess's arm slowly.
With a regretful expression, Rania also released her embrace on the body of the mother while saying, "Well, how come it's because of me anyway?"
Ignoring the princess's words, Santika instead walked over to Bayu and greeted the man.
"Hi Aunty, how's Auntie Om? Sorry Bayu has not played home for your nengokin for a long time," said Bayu after kissing the hand of the mother of his best friend.
With a big smile on her face, the middle-aged woman replied, "Alhamdulillah, good news Om same Aunt. You don't have to apologize, Auntie understands that you must be very busy with your work now. Especially with the same twins. Aunty aja shadow her already tired first. How do you walk," said Santika at length, making the beautiful girl who is currently standing behind her rolled her eyes lazy, "Oh yes, how are the news Anjani with Shaka, aunty hasn't seen them in a long time. Sometimes bring it to the house dong," continued the middle-aged woman.
"Every aunt, we will set the time sometime," replied Bayu with a sweet smile.
"Sip, tell me if you want to come, so that aunty can make good food for them," said Santika while patting her on the shoulder of her son's best friend.
"Ehem! This you guys want to talk there until when? I'm tired of sitting down,"
Reaching out, the two people who had been busy chatting the two of them immediately turned their eyes to a beautiful girl who was currently leaning her back on the wall beside the door.
With his peculiar rarity, Santika immediately invited Bayu and Rania to enter the house. And sure enough, when they entered, they were immediately greeted by a group of people who were his extended family from the mother's side. There's Om, Auntie, and also her cousins.
Since Rania had not seen her family for a long time, she felt a bit awkward when interacting with them. Fortunately there is a Citra Mbak that he can talk to, so Rania is not too ngang ngong ngong alone.
Since long ago, he was the closest to Mbak Citra. In fact, he already considers the 25-year-old woman as his own biological brother. Maybe because since the death of both parents, Mbak Citra, his parents were the ones who replaced all their duties to take care of and finance Mbak Citra. He and his brother didn't mind either. They were happy to get a new brother.
"Daddy,"
Rania who was busy kissing the cheeks of her nephew's bully was immediately raised her head when she heard Mbak Citra calling her.
"Why Mother?" ask the girl with a frown.
"What do you have in common with Mas Bayu?" the whisper of the woman was right beside the sister's ear
Rania who did not understand the intent of her brother's words also seemed to frown confused, "Huh? Meaning Ma'am?"
Just contact, Citra also immediately grumpy when she heard Rania say, "You why can come here with Mas Bayu? You're dating her?" finally Citra also chose to go straight to the point.
And it also managed to make Rania surprised amazing.
"Huh? Yes, it is not! Ma'am carelessly if you say," exclaimed the girl with a loud voice, causing the 3-day-old baby in her lap to squirm small because he felt his sleep disturbed.
"Ssttt. Mbak's son woke up," Citra said while patting the son's ass so that the little baby was back asleep.
"Yes anyways, her mother is weird anyway. I'm gonna be shocked,"
"Well, why strange? You just ask. Abisnya you two seem very harmonious anyway," said Citra with a gaze that still leads to the son who is currently on the lap of Rania.
Without the woman realizing that her words just now managed to cause a red hue on someone's cheeks.
"Mas Bayu is Icad?" ask a middle-aged woman who is the wife of her Om Rania.
Hearing the name Bayu called, the beautiful girl who was currently sitting on the sofa immediately turned her gaze to a group of people sitting on the carpet not far from her position.
In the midst of a group of people who were mostly small children sat a handsome man who was none other than Bayu.
With a sweet smile on his handsome face, the man replied, "Yes aunt, I'm Irsyad's friend from High School,"
"Great, that means you've been winning for a long time,"
"Yes aunty, thank God,"
"Are you married?"
Deg.
Rania immediately rounded her eyes when she heard the question posed by her aunt. Not wanting to make Bayu uncomfortable, the girl was about to chimed in the words of the aunt. However, before his intention was carried out, Bayu had already answered him first.
"Aunty, I also have two children. But my wife passed away 4 years ago while giving birth to my two children" Bayu replied with a faint smile.
Suddenly, the answer from the man also made the atmosphere in the room become silent for an instant. In fact, Rania's cousin who had been watching videos on youtube immediately turned it off.
Seeing the awkwardness that occurred due to his question just now, the middle-aged woman also made a sound again.
Still with a smile on his face, the man replied, "Yes, no auntie,"
Bayu does look relaxed responding to the typical aunt's question, but another case with Rania who instead looks very upset with the disrespectful attitude of his wife Om. If you do not remember now they are gathering because they celebrate the presence of his brother's little son. The girl would definitely spray her tantrum with her sharp words.
But it was not enough to get there, because the middle-aged woman with a bright red dress asked again, "Means you have been a widower for a long time, you have no intention of finding another wife?"
The words of the middle-aged woman also managed to make the husband who had just been silent immediately react.
"Mah," called the middle-aged man who was Om of Rania while elbowing his wife's arm so as not to continue his words.
"Apaan heck Pah benggol-senggol, Mamah is just nanya doang,"
Aaaa..do not hold me! Mother where the hell? Let this one man be able to be accomplished! Rania grumbled in her heart.
At the moment the mother was busy in the kitchen to prepare dinner, so no one could help Rania to keep her tantric mouth shut.
"Where's Bayu? Are you looking for another wife yet? If so, aunt has an acquaintance for you. He's aunt's youngest brother. Name Ayu. The person is beautiful, pinter, painstaking, really fit if the wife is. So long as you know yes, the aunt's sister is a medical scholar and now works at the Bina Husada hospital. Do you know that hospital? Must know yes, in that case the most famous hospital in Jakarta" said the middle-aged woman at length.
And as long as the woman spoke, Bayu could only respond with an awkward smile until her cheek became sore from smiling for too long.
"So how's Bayu? Do you want aunty to know your aunt's sister?" asked the middle-aged woman as a closure from her words.
"I'm sorry aunt, but I already have someone I like" Bayu replied confidently.
Hearing this, Rania who had chosen to look at the pound so that her emotions could be awake immediately raised her head so surprised.
And at that moment Rania's gaze immediately met with two sharp eyes Bayu who was staring gently at the girl.
***
Silent.
Again silence again filled the car that was being driven by Bayu.
The clock is now at 8pm and the man is on his way to get Rania home.
Actually, there was Irsyad. However, because the man still wants to be there until later tonight, Rania chooses to go home first with Bayu because tomorrow the girl still has to clean up in her new shophouse.
"Ehem,"
Bayu cleared his throat to loosen his throat that felt stuck. But other than that, he also had another purpose, which was to make Rania talk.
However, of course Bayu's intention will not go that easy because in fact Rania still stares at the street next to him through the window.
"Ran, your head doesn't pegel, do you see it going on?" asked Bayu while glancing towards the girl.
Rania who was lazy to speak also only replied, "No,"
Hearing that, Bayu can only swallow his saliva that feels dry.
"You why the hell, badmood again huh? Aja from earlier," Bayu again invited Rania to speak, because honestly the atmosphere in this car makes it less comfortable.
He knew that the girl was not just an ordinary silence, but definitely because something was bothering him.
"Yes" answered Rania briefly.
"Badmood why? Can abis get together with the family even badmood anyway?"
Finally, the question made the girl turn her head.
"I'm sprained with Auntie Titi!" exclaimed Rania with a look on her face.
Hearing this, Bayu also seemed to frown confused, "Tante Titi? Aunt Titi who?"
"That's the same thing that was the same thing. I sprained with him. His mouth was not able to be touched. If you don't want manners, I closed his mouth earlier using super strong duct tape grandma,"
"Hus, you can't say rich. Either way, he's older than you. Especially your own aunt,"
"She's really bad!" sahut Rania while hitting her own thigh slowly, "Sorry yes Mas, make my aunt's attitude earlier," continued the girl with a look of guilt.
"Well, you're the one apologizing, you're not wrong,"
"But still, as Mas said earlier wherever he was my aunt, so if he makes Mas uncomfortable I have to be responsible because Mas dateng impression the same me,"
Hearing this, Bayu immediately pulled both corners of his lips to form a sweet smile on his handsome face.
"Okay, I'm sorry," said the man as he stroked Rania's head gently.
Quite a long time the atmosphere of silence again occurred, until Rania suddenly made a sound.
"Mm... Mas, can I ask you something different?"
Bayu who was focused on driving turned to the beautiful girl sitting next to him.
"Ask what? How do you get permission?" asked the man with a frown.
Rania did not immediately answer a question from Bayu because the girl was weighing whether she should ask or not. If he asks this, he is afraid that the man will assume his kepo. But if he didn't ask, he would definitely spend the night overthinking.
After thinking for a while, Rania finally ventured to ask.
"Mm... Who else do you like? How do you not know me anyway?"
Bayu who heard that question could not help his smile anymore. The man looked at Rania as he said, "Not yet, if it's time to know you, then it's time,"
