Galak's Fiancee
Chapter 130

Tonight Argantara took Shelina to her house for dinner. Actually, who had this idea at the beginning was his mother Argantara. And Argantara agreed. Because he thought it was fun to also invite Shelina to eat at his house. Shelina was able to meet her mother and become more familiar.

“Shel, if gulai like ‘kan?”

“Like, Aunt. Any food I like,”

“Hopefully this auntie dish fits yes on her tongue Shel,”

The dinner menu made by Mama Argantara is chicken gulai, balado shrimp, and fried tempeh tofu. This home-cooked food menu that Shelina often eats also when at home.

“Often-often here play same Aunt, same Arga. We ate both continuously, deserted also actually,”

“Lain time invite Aunt Shefia also dong, Ar,” Tina said to her only child who tonight invited a woman to come home to dinner with her. This woman Tina had known even since childhood. So there's no more awkward. He was familiar, even with his parents.

“I was ajakin, Ma. But Aunt Shefia can't, because there want to be an event at the neighboring house and Aunt Shefia want to attend,”

“Oalah, that. The Kirain you brought is just Shelina,”

“Ngak, Mom. I know mama would be very happy if Aunt Shefia came along so I ajakin only Aunt Shefia want to be present at the neighboring event,”

“Mama forgot a message to you to invite Aunt Shefia, luckily you remember yes,”

“Remember, Ma. Time yes I just ngajakin his son doang, I ajakin mama too, because this wants there mama too, uh but dear Aunt Shefia want to be present at her neighbor's event,”

“Iya mom apologizes for not being able to join she said, Auntie. You see, the neighbor who is two houses away, did not show his son aqiqah. Mom invited. Mama doesn't feel good if you don't come,”

“Ih can fit really well, yesterday also Aunty new abis invited same neighbor to aqiqah event,”

“Cuit udah,” said Argantara while chuckling. Her mother and mother Shelina were both invited to the aqiqah event by their respective neighbors. Tina was invited yesterday, while Shefia is today.

“What match? Suitable as besan? Oh if that's a long time ago realize anyway,”

Shelina and Argantara chuckled. Suddenly Kia became nervous when ejected from Tina's mouth about besan. Honestly, it's wrong. “Why talk about it? Heheh,”

“How was college, son? Smoothly just ‘kan?”

“Iya smoothly, Aunt, Thank you,”

“Where are you with Arga? Any problem? If there is, don't tell a story. How was Arga so close to you? Is he bummering? Or—“

“Ngak, Aunt. Arga good really, no bummer,”

“Nyaman Sama Arga, Shel? If something makes you uncomfortable, or how-to, talk to Auntie, we share the story about Arga, no problem. Aunty wants to know how she is with you,”

“Good, Aunt, so good even,”

“Mama is suspicious of her son. People say the same Shel. I'm good, mama can't believe it,”

“Not believe it. So that Shelina does not hesitate if you want to tell her about you. Anyway any story to Auntie yeah, Shel. Eh do not call Auntie deh, have long known when still a stranger huh? Call your mom if you want,”

“Iya, Aunt, uh Ma. But I was confused to call mom to both. My mom is with Arga's mom. How is it different?”

Shelina's innocent question certainly made Tina laugh. True too, the call of mama for his own mother and his mother Argantara makes him so confused, because there is no difference when their status is different. One is a real mother, the other is a future mother-in-law.

“Ya have called my mother-in-law if you go to auntie yes,”

“Jeez, yes, I called you that. What's not strange,” said Shelina in the heart. It seems that the call is too presumptuous according to Shelina, He did not dare to call Tina with the title ‘mama-in-law’ even though Tina asked.

“Call Aunty first, Ma. Later if Shelina is really a son-in-law then the call happens, okay?”

“Ah is okay, it's up to Shelina how to call it. Or mama has more suggestions call ‘mama Al’ can also be because the name of Aunt Altina, not complicated ‘kan?”

“Nah yes already, that's it,” Shelina said with a smile. That's more natural according to Shelina. Instead of calling her mother-in-law, or mother-in-law who even makes her confused because she calls her biological mother aka Shefia with the name of mother as well.

Finished eating, Shelina was still engaged in chatter with Argantara especially her mother. Until then Shelina was repatriated by Argantara at half-nine p.m.

“Sorry yes if if there is less aunt cuisine, do not kapok ya eat here, anyway must often if you can, continue not to forget to invite mama, okay?”

“Sip, Aunt, uh Mama Al. Hehehe I'm still not ordinary,”

“Nothing, Babe,”

“I say goodbye first, thank you so much for bringing me dinner here, all the cooking is delicious and I love it,”

“Yes, be careful you guys yes, send greetings to your mama yes, Shel,”

“Later to tell you. Assalamualaikum,”

“Waalaikumsalam,”

Shelina got into the Argantara car that was ready behind the wheel. After having dinner together at her house with her mother too, it was time for Argantara to take Shelina back home.

“Shelina, happy not?”

“Happy, even so happy,”

“Thank God, I'm glad to hear that. Next time come to my house, talk to my mom. Mama talks lonely mulu,”

“Yes is natural, Ga. My mom is like that too. His name is also already no partner, just one child continues to mature also so like to be busy with his own world without realizing it mama feels lonely because of it,”

“Mama you also often talk like that?”

“Yes, loneliness mulu. If you have been invited to an aqiqahan kayak event now, like to code when I make an aqiqah event too, like to suppose that you already have a grandson. Ah anyway mama I like that,”

“Hah has grandchild been billed? Marriage hasn't been yes,”

“Well that's it, I get confused sometimes. If you've discussed grandchildren ngode so that I get married soon, maybe that's what mama means,”

“Sama turned out to be like a mama I like to code for marriage if you can as soon as possible. No wonder, mama knows that marriage must be from her own decision. But mama likes to hurtain her daughter marriage continues to have children this way. Maybe it was just a story, huh? But I think it's code,”

“Iya do not know that means the story or even code I also do not understand, mother-like difficult to guess,” said Shelina while chuckling.

When he reached Shelina's house, Argantara would usually go down to open the door of his car to let Shelina down. But this time it's not. Argantara instead held Shelina's arm that was about to open the car door and get out.

“Why, Ga?”

Argantara was silent for a while but her eyes deepened towards Shelina who was frowning in confusion.

“Oh yes, I haven't said thanks. I forgot, sorry. Once again thank you I have dinner, keep me home as usual, thanks ya,”

“Sama-sama, I want to say something so that you do not go out first. The reason is not waiting for you to say thanks, Shel,”

“Oh okay, what do you want to say?” Ask Kia who is really curious. Seeing the look on Argantara's face, he guessed the thing Argantara wanted to talk about seemed important. Argantara wants them to talk in the car.

“Sorry if you think I'm presumptuous of this now. You sure want to marry me, right? Honestly, I'm more comfortable with you, Shel. If asked what I already have to dare not make sure you marry now. I have income from myself, maybe you do not know, I have a cafe bakery shop yes although not long pioneered anyway. I'm gonna keep trying to grow, Shel. I'm sure I can meet your needs with my hard work later. When asked about love? I'm sure the answer is I love you, I'm even afraid of losing the opportunity to own you. I want us to keep going,”

To be honest Shelina was shocked when Argantara spoke like that. He did not expect that Argantara would discuss marriage so soon. Argantara's courage deserves a thumbs up too. When Argantara claimed to have loved Shelina, about what she had, the willingness to work hard in supporting Shelina, it all left Shelina dumbfounded for a while.

“If you really need time to think about everything, that's okay, Shel, I understand. I'll give you time to be absolutely sure. The marriage ‘kan must be really from the heart,” Argantara said with a faint smile looking into Shelina's jet-black bead that looked at her expressionlessly, but her heart was insecure, and her heart warmed up.

“Iya I'm more sure, but after graduation, right? You keep trying to make me sure, Ga,”

“Yes, because I'm really comfortable, seriously. The sense of wanting to have you is also very big, not because of obsession but that much I love and love you, I do not want to be in vain. You again, Shel,” Argantara said to Shelina in a straightforward tone. That was his desire to have Shelina. Love has come, too, Argantara does not want to waste Shelina. Argantara wanted to have Shelina and guard her wholeheartedly.

“I want us to walk like running water, do you agree also if we will marry after graduation, just walkin first can not rush?”

“By bang. Let us be both sure. Because our marriage relationship will last a lifetime so it needs great confidence before stepping,”

Shelina nodded her head. If you refuse, it's hard to do that. Because he admitted that he also loved Argantara and was comfortable being close to Argantara, and there was also a desire to fulfill the wishes of their parents who wanted them to be together.

“But means you married me because of our parents' wishes right?”

“Honest initially it was like that. But as time went on I was thinking more about the feelings in my heart anyway, and the desire of parents became number two. So I'm sure I married just not because our parents want it, but because I feel connected, I feel clop to you, I feel clop to you, and most importantly I love you,”

“Yes, I'm in first. We just walk first like flowing water, while we really feel sure there is no doubt, especially you because you never refuse,”

“Yes, but it was then, now it is not dong. I'm so scared to lose you, Shel,”

“Okay, if so I enter the house, you go home carefully,”

“Sip,”

Shelina almost grabbed the car door lever but Argantara forbade. “Bentar, I'm a bukain,” said the man while smiling sweetly until his eyes pulled each other which finally looked squinty.

Argantara opened the car door and let Shelina out of the car. Then He led Shelina to the door of the house and Argantara pressed the bell to open from the inside.

“Assalamualaikum,”

Argantara kissed the hand of Shefia whose clothes had not changed after attending an event held by her neighbor.

“Waalaikumsalam,”

“Sorry yes, Tan, if long,”

“No, how was dinner?”

“Fun, mom really wants Aunt join just now I've told you that aunt wants to attend a neighbor's event. Mama send greetings,”

“Iya next time follow me. Let's go in first,”

“As usual, Aunt. The important thing is that I've anterin Shelina to the house safely, and I've found Aunt. I want to go straight home, Tan,”

“Live home continue yes you if already anterin Shelina home,”

Argantara. How else would you like? He felt calm after delivering Shelina to his home safely. He wanted to go straight home, so that Shelina and her mother could also rest, not having to serve guests that is him.

“Sorry yes, Aunt. Next time I'll sit back,”

“Iya, sit down first, drink first, chat first, ‘kan delicious so,” said Shefia who had begun to realize that Argantara really already convinced by his decision.

“Udah, before I take Shelina away for sure I sit down first ‘kan, Tan. There's aja Aante adang, well if it fits Shelina anter back, I sit again ya ngerepotin,”

“Well, by the way, anyway. No, it's like who the hell you are. There is no ngerepotin,”

“Tante always receive guests well, I never disappointed if you have come home, served with a friendly. Told to sit, given a meal,”

“Ah can be you,”

“Other times Aunt join ya eat together me, Shelina, and mama,”

“Iya Insha Allah,”

“Okay if that's what I say, thank you for permission to bring Shelina, Tan. Good night, Assalamualaikum,”

Shefia smiled at Argantara who had just said goodbye kissing the back of her hand.

“Waalaikumsalam, be careful yes,”

“Iya, Tan,”

Argantara lowered the window so he could avenge the hand of Shelina and her mother. He drove his car away from the Shelina residence at a normal speed while turning on the playlist of songs so as not to be too quiet in the car. There was Shelina next to her, now she was alone in the car, and she was afraid she was sleepy. If you are with Shelina, it is difficult to get sleepy because they will occasionally chat.

“Now Shelina's nyokapnya attitude has been back by kayak usually hopefully deh disappointed it slowly began to disappear. I know I was wrong and hard to forgive, it's hard to make Shelina's parents believe that now I've really accepted the match, but I will try to convince them continue,”

*****

“You're the same aunt Tina must have a lot of conversation huh? If you can know, what chat, Shel?”

After Shelina changed clothes, suddenly her bedroom door was knocked. And as soon as he opened the door it turned out his mother was standing in front of the door of the room with clothes that had changed as well.

“Mama would want to hear the stories of me who finished eating together with Argantara and his mother huh? Okay, I'll tell you a story. Come mama sit on my mattress,” said Shelina while holding her hand and taking her to bed.

“Mama was curious what are you guys chatting about? Anything important is that not?”

“Hmm nothing, Ma. Just a casual conversation, Ma. But Aunt Tina asked me to call her Mama Tina. Because he said that aunty kayak is still foreign,”

“Oh yes? Then what else?”

“Then I was told to call her mother-in-law, in my heart I immediately refused. Yes, when I call him mother-in-law, my man is not yet his daughter, is it not strange if I call my mother-in-law? Let me be, Ma,”

“Hahahah you are very stiff, dear. Aunty Tina was joking, but maybe it was code too. Thank goodness if you are nurutin, if not yes it is okay too,”

“But I'm surprised, Ma. Suddenly he said he could call my mother-in-law. Lah, my people are the same Arga aja not yet anything ‘kan. Uh yeah I want to tell you about Arga, too,”

“Why?”

Shefia immediately folded her legs and held the doll of the child, She seemed ready to hear the story of her son about Argantara. Just now about Tina alone was fun enough to be heard, now Shelina wants to tell me about Argantara. It seems more fun.

“Tadi, before getting off the car. Argan makes sure I talk,”

“By what?”

“She's making sure I get married again, Ma. I was so shocked. Didn't think he'd talk about it again like I'd be so scared if I had any doubts,”

“Hah? Then what do you say?”

Not only Shelina, Indah was also surprised to hear Argantara invite Shelina to marry. Unexpectedly, Argantara again ventured to ask Shelina to be his wife.

“I said, I'm sure but I'm the same he still needs time, Ma after all will pass the plan later. He doesn't mind. He said he thought there would be two possibilities,”

“Goodyour answer. It must be considered first carefully, do not immediately be asserted or rejected. Getting married is not easy, but it is not difficult if you do not enjoy it. Enjoy every phase, surely marriage so it feels fun,”

“I need time to convince myself, Ma. Yes let there be no regrets, I'm sure anyway just want to be absolutely sure that's it,”

“He loves you? And how do you feel about him?”

“Ma, he said he was in love and love with me, he did not want to waste me. And I do too, Ma,”

“Hmm apparently you guys still do not love each other yes,”

“Yes, that's one of the reasons I'm considering. We already love each other, yes hopefully in the future made easy,”

Shefia smiled as her son asked for an opinion. He immediately rubbed the soft cheek of Shelina who looked at him questioningly. Shelina is still naive about love, her experience about love or men is still minimal.

“Mama wish you the best yes,”

“But it will be okay, Ma? If married young?”

“Yes that was, mama said. Everything will feel easy, it feels fun if enjoyed every phase. There are many marriages that start without love but eventually love each other and last, it is true, love can come because it is used to being together. But in reality, many marriages do not work because they start without love. How your heart chooses. Follow what your heart says, son. Many who marry young, love each other was not, everything went well,”

“Iya, Mother. I will think carefully, I will understand what my heart says,”

“Yes, do not make the wrong decision, and later even regret. Mama papa did want you to marry Arga. Especially the papa, because papa tuh good friend of his father Arga. But do not make our parents' wishes as the things you have to fulfill, and finally there is no long thought or consideration before making a decision. You have the right to go where you live, who you marry, you have the right to choose. ‘Kan indeed from the beginning, we are also not maksa, do not want to be selfish. We do not want in the future you are hurt by rejection, and others. That's why mama papa was disappointed with Arga because she seemed to be wrong with you, and she rejected you,”

“Iya I know, Ma. If you are selfish maybe now I am the same Arga has become husband and wife, we are not given time,”

“Yes because we know you have the right to your own future including the affairs of a mate,”

“Thank you for understanding, Ma. I'll think before I actually make a decision,”

“Iya, mom support whatever you later choose. Marriage to Arga or not. May Allah lead you to make the best decision, yes,”

“But if I married Arga, would my mom be happy?”

“If you ask about it, of course my mom is happy. ‘Kan was indeed the wish of mama also so that Arga and you marry,”

“But if I refused, would my mom be disappointed?”

“No, God willing, I sincerely accept whatever your decision,”, Shefia said confidently while smiling sweetly. Although there was a desire for Shelina and Argantara to get married, but if Shelina did not want to be with Argantara and God also approved of it, He could not say anything. He tried to accept that and was convinced that it meant God had prepared another man better for his daughter.

“Mama, thank you so much for being by my side, you always have understanding for me. I love you,”

Shelina hugged her mother tightly. Fashion is often coming especially in moments like this.

“Yes, now you rest yes. Mama also wants a break,”

“Tonight sleep with me yuk, Ma,”

“Hmm? Really?”

Shelina nodded her head. He misses the habit of sleeping with his mother. When he was a child, he often slept between his mother and his father. Stepping teenagers to adulthood mother who often sleep in her room especially if her husband is busy working alias not overnight at home.

“Okay, let's sleep,”

“Goodnight dear mama,”

“Night too, Son,”

“Eh I haven't used skin care, please, Ma. Just jerking around,”

“Yes, long time is fine too. ‘Kan mama did not wait, mama brushed aja,” said Shefia while laughing. He let his son take care of himself.

Shelina sat in front of the mirror, and then she started using less facial care products. When he took a shower, he cleaned his face. Now he just uses toner, serum, and moisturizer. After that he rushed to the bed.

“Lho, mama said he wants to brim, how not yet?”

“Pengen together with a new mama's son abis taught to marry,”

“Mama, don't say that, I'm ashamed of it,”

“Lho, how embarrassed? It's even a sign you're an adult, Shel. The proof is already there is with gentle ngajakin you married, stay you think again deh it, would agree or even nolak,”

“I again want to weigh-in first, again want to ask for instructions also the same above,”

“Iya, Darling. Now get a good night's sleep, okay? Forget for a moment his marriage invitation Arga,”

Shefia rubbed her son's head gently, then grabbed Shelina tightly. “I love you, darling,” she said gently and ended with a kiss on Shelina's forehead.

“I love you too, beautiful mom,”

Tonight they slept hugging each other. Shelina felt calm after telling her mother, and heard the words that were thrown from her mother.

******

“Ah already, why should there be any jammed everything?! I'm late for this. I am crazy to sleep. Though the alarm has been on still bad luck,”

Argantara was endlessly grumbling in annoyance. He was upset at himself who woke up late to finally fail to pick up Shelina at home, even though his intention wanted to go together to campus.

“Padahan was this morning I wanted to be with Shelina, uh even bad luck. Finally he left alone, I left alone. Fortunately, he was not with me. If together, really kasian he will be late,”

Argantara is jammed around the railway station area. He was sick of the traffic jam he had to face right now but what else? It's his fault that he woke up late.

“Yeah, really melt this vehicle on the road! Jeez, I want to fly it,”

He stared at the circular watch on his wrist and became more and more agitated. I can be sure he was late for class.

“I am rarely late. Hopefully the lecturer did not enter, or if I enter yes maklumin this bad luck,”

The vehicle in front of him started moving again. Every time there is a little pace, it will be happy. Even though his heart was not calm.

His eyes focused on looking forward, then staring around. Traffic is really heavy at an hour like this.

He accidentally caught a glimpse of someone he knew, even really knew. He who was originally leaning, immediately sat firmly with wide eyes. But when He wanted to confirm that his vision was right, the figure He had seen just now was no more.

“Gue not wrong? How is he?” Mumbled Argantara who was still continuing to search with his eyes that were completely focused. He looked for where the woman had gone, but nothing. He really only sees a glimpse.

“But if he really is, how can he? Since when is he in Jakarta again?”

********

“Ryan, it's a good idea to meet you here. Argantara is late to enter his class?”

Shelina with one of her friends to the campus cafe, and accidentally cross paths with Ryan who was about to get out of the cafe. He asked about something that made him curious.

“He's really late,”

“Oh, but has come means yes?”

“Udah, Shel. But it's late. He's bad luck he said,”

“Yes, he told me, tell me to go first. Okay, thanks yes, Yan,”

Ryan nodded his head and hurried to leave the cafe while Shelina and Dara, his friend, chose to occupy a round table close to the cafe door.

“Lo why suddenly nanya Arga?”

“Nothing, just curious. Turns out he's really late, God. Could've been late. Good thing I'm not with him anyway,”

“If you are with him, you can be late together,” said Dara while laughing.

Shelina asked Ryan, because he wanted to make sure Argantara stayed in, even though it was too late.

Ahelina felt a tremor in her pants pocket. His phone shook and there was a message coming in from Argantara.

I'm in class again, what are you doing? Don't forget to eat if you haven't eaten, Shel-

Shelina shook her head slowly. Argantara still took the time to send a message, in between He focused on listening to the material presented by the lecturer.

I was in the cafe. Thanks for ingetin. Focus on the lecturer, Ga-

-Ok sip's. Who's the same cafe, Shel?-

my friend, Ga-

Shelina almost kept her phone. He thought the answer was enough for Argantara but Argantara sent a message with a question again.

-class management? Who?- who?

-ara

oh, don't know. Hehe. Ok, yeah-it was

Shelina grunted softly. He knew nothing of his friends, but still asked.

“Shel, are you the same Arga really not dating?”

“Truly, Dar. Does it look like dating? That feeling you have had time to,”

“Original, I'm hard to believe anyway. You see you look deket, often leave together, go home also together,”

“Yes it's because I was invited by Arga, just so happened to be his class together, continue abis class also together,”

“But you guys fit tau,”

“Hadeh, don't start yet. What does it mean?”

“Suitable, like a mate,”

Shelina smiled in response to Dara's words. According to people who often saw the togetherness of Argantara and Shelina, must have been to believe that they were not lovers, but engaged.

“I must be Aamiin, or what?”

“Aamiin is, he ‘kan handsome, it looks good too. How'd he go to lo? You must have your own judgment,”

“Yes he is kind, friendly, diligent saving, and not arrogant,”

Hearing Shelina's reply which was certainly joking, immediately invited a grouchy speech from Dara's mouth. He asked seriously, but Shelina answered with her candlestick.

“Heh, I really asked!”

“He's real, he's good,”

“Continue talking about diligent saving, and not arrogant all? Huh huh? Your answer is strange indeed,”

“Hahah sorry-sorry, I deliberately joked so we relax a little first,”

“Looking, Shel. Stay answered doang ribet very ah,”

“Iya, Arga good, Dar,”

“Udah ever ngajakin lo dating? Time yes have gone home often together but do not want more than friends, fiancee doang so?”

“Yes that's more than friends, how the hell?”

Shelina massaged her forehead for a while before replying. Not just asking for a date, Argantara even invited him to track the life of marriage.

“Eh why not answer? Well, maybe you guys are actually dating, right? Still not publishing?”

“Ih, what's the secret? Not dating, Dar,”

“Yes, dating dong,”

Shelina sighed softly. Instead of responding to Dara's words, Shelina instead ordered a meal as well as a drink.

“If you are dating, let alone marrying, don't forget to invite me yes, Shel,”

“Iya, relax. Your name will not be missed,”

“Yeayyy okay, can't wait,”

“What's impatient?”

“Patiently invited by lo, Shel,”

“I invite to my birthday show later,”

“Erghh is not that! Invited to wedding event,”

“My wedding?”

“Yes, Shel. Time to the wedding of our lecturer Mr Bastian? ‘Can not be possible. By the way our handsome and young lecturer wants to marry noh,”

“Iya I've heard the news. You invited?”

“No, I don't think he's a student,”

“Yes upset, find another one, Dar,”

Shelina meredek Dara who put a sense of admiration for their lecturer who was still relatively young and had a handsome face. They heard that soon the lecturer was getting married. Kia does not want Dara even crushed. That's why he told me to find another one.

“Iya, no more demen-demen me the same lecturer. I want to marry you because, horrified all kinds of people. When did Mr Bastian arrive?”

“Ya tomorrow,”

“Tomorrow, in the word of marriage tuh toy time can impromptu start,”

“HAHAHAH,”

*****

Tonight, Shelina was invited by a friend during her Junior High to come to her birthday party. Shelina has agreed with her Junior High friends including Lara who is her closest friend and still communicates with her to date, to attend Caca's birthday event.

Shelina is picked up by Lara who thinks once she gets to Shelina's house, the girl is ready. Apparently not yet, because Shelina fell asleep for a while. After performing Isya prayer with her mother, Shelina went into the room and fell asleep instead of preparing. That's how Shelina was invited out at night. There is always no spirit, the innate wants to sleep. Wanting to refuse, He was not happy with his friend who was on his birthday, and his mother also always encouraged him to want to leave the house, considering He was a child who did not get along with the outside world. Every day his work just out of the house for college, after the lecture went straight into the house, and disappeared in a busy room with his own world that is learning or doing assignments, reading novels, or watching plays.

“Sorry for a long time, Lar. I'm so ready,”

“It's okay, but you actually remember or not we will go to his party Caca?”

“Remember, only I had time to fall asleep earlier. Ordinary, a little lazy if you want to go out of the house these nights, good to sleep, Lar,”

“Gue won't let you sleep anyway. If I had gotten here I knew you were still sleeping, I'd wake you up, Shel. I gedor your room door until it breaks, Shel,”

Shelina laughed at how upset Lara would have been if she hadn't been ready and went to sleep. It was already in her shadow as well when Lara banged on the door of her room to have her sleep disturbed.

“Do not dong,ara. Danger, especially if my room does not have a door ‘kan bothered,”

“Ya udha ayuk our quarry capcus. Where is your Nyokap? Pamit us first,”

“In the room, I woke up immediately in his room. I'll call you a minute, yeah,”

Lara nodded her head. She lets Shelina rush to her parents' room while Lara still survives in the living room.

When Shelina brought her mother, she immediately stood up and smiled to say goodbye.

“Tante, leave first yes,”

“Yes, you guys be careful yes,”

Shelina and Lara kissed Shefia's hand, which led them to the courtyard. Beautiful did not forget to tell Shelina to tell herself that Shelina had arrived at her destination, and Shelina did not come home too late. Although he encouraged Shelina to leave, she did not stay home much, but she wanted Shelina not to come home too late because it made her worry especially considering her son was also rarely out at night.

“Assalamualaikum,”

“Waalaikumsalam,”

Shelina and Lara left in Lara's car of course. When she gets home, Shelina will be escorted by Lara.

“Lar, this is the show where the hell?”

“It looks like a cafe,”

“Udah many come?”

“Iya, it's good rame,”

“But we are not late ‘kan ya?”

“No, hopefully we get to before Caca make a wish and blow out the candle yes,”

“Yes, it's not good to be late,”

“Lo makes it fast, Shel. That's why we're not late, hopefully. Although you overslept but you made a fast dance, njir. Not like I can get up to an hour and a half I dandan,”

“Ngot nothing, her name is also female ‘kan, it's only natural,”

“Means I have to find a patient husband, Shel. You see in terms of grooming and I was angling emotions, must wait an hour and a half new kilar lo shadow already, I should be patient if the same me,”

“I'm sure your partner will be patient. There are people who need a long time to get ready, some are not, some are just. Yes anyway sort of the type of person,” said Shelina who did not mind the habits of her friend who likes long when dressing up. Shelina said it was natural. Because every human being has their own needs. Some take a while to dress up, some take a long time. It cannot be equated between one human being and another.

“That's if make up to the official events anyway, Shel. If daily make up is more daunted,”

“Iya reasonable, condangan ‘kan rarely yes, so must be perfect, like you tonight nih, very beautiful geez,”

Shelina did not hesitate to praise Lara who tonight wore a beautiful dres that was so fitting on Lara's body. The satin dres, with but small hanging over both shoulders, makes Lara look sexy and graceful tonight.

“Lo new shirt huh?” Lara asked as she glanced at Shelina. Actually when he first saw Shelina earlier, he guessed inwardly. The clothes that Shelina was wearing seemed to be new.

“Hah? Yes, this is a new shirt,” replied Shelina nervously, and had been silent before answering.

“Seriously? I think nebak aja you know, but emang keluatan is new,”

“Iya really,”

“Buy where, Shel? Beautiful you wear it,” this time replace Lara who praised Shelina. Tonight Shelina is wearing a dress whose arms are up to her elbows. On the chest, there was a small ribbon, and on the waist was a rope that Shelina deliberately tied so that it formed the body of Shelina who was slim.

“No idea where to buy,”

“Lah, how does the story you do not know the clothes you wear now buy where. Is it not you who bought it? Or you forgot?”

“It's been loved by people, Lar,”

“Oalah, pantesan. I wonder, who gives?” Lara asked after that small chuckle. Curious about Shelina fun too turns out. He was more curious because Shelina was nervous not to answer immediately.

“Not good?”

Instead of answering, Shelina instead asked her friend who was still focused on driving the car.

“Yes good, I like it and I wonder whose load dikadoin? Really dikadoin?”

“It really is, Lar. This is in the same vein as Argantara,”

“Oh that, from Arganta? Why not just talk about it anyway? Lo mah deliberately make people curious, you say not half-half,”

“Emang I said half-and-half?”

“Yes, you should have said it was from Arga,”

“Yes, I'm a little hesitant to say,”

“Lho, why?”

“Fear of being harassed. You know ‘kan,”

“How does that mean?”

“Iya later I'm wedded, cie-cie boughtin Arga. You like to bummer, Lara,”

“Cie loves same shirt Arga,”

Lara instantly realized what was on Shelina's mind. It finally made Shelina laugh. He had expected Lara's reaction would be like that so he had hesitated to be honest or not.

“What order does Arga give clothes to lo, Shel?”

“Ngak in order of nothing, he suddenly loved her. I'm also confused, even though I'm no longer a birthday,”

“Yes maybe he wants a surprise for you, by the way cool the shirt. Suitable for you whose characters are not neko-neko,”

“Thank you for the compliment, Lara. You are also beautiful tonight. I can't say tau,”

“Ah lebay lo mah's. I'm nothing compared to you, Shel. I'm all right, I'm just a dust grain,”

“That you are talking more. Am I as good as what? How tall until you think of yourself as a grain of dust? Don't do it ah,”

Lara's car arrived safely in the parking area. Shelina frowned as she looked inside the place where she had been with Lara.

“Lara, this is a bar, not a cafe,”

“Iya yes, the writing is so tuh,” said Lara while pointing to the name of the bar that is really large so they easily read.

“It looks crowded huh, Lar,”

“It is, bars are mostly yes crowded at night,”

“You sure you want to come in? I'm honest mala sbanget know, meningan sleep deh but not good have been invited with Caca,”

“You're sure, let's go in. It was over, Ku. When do we want to go back again? We have been in vain here. We just care about the important thing already seen face, as a sign that we appreciate the invitation Caca's birthday,”

“Okay deh, but really yes we are not long, just ajar aja,”

“Iya, Darling. Relax, what is important is that we have been present at the same sight Caca. Kuy we're in,”

Lara opened the car door after removing the seat belt that had been holding her body since. Followed by the hesitant Shelina wanting to enter. But if you think about it for free also He came if if not so enter.

“Lar, slowly dong, do not separate from me,” Shelina said to Dara who wanted to walk faster in front of him. Lara is excited to attend Caca's birthday party. Shelina herself is the opposite. Knowing that the event took place at the bar, at night, with visitors who were quite crowded, and mostly unknown Caca certainly made Shelina so lazy, wanted to just lie on the bed.

“Cie bucin so much I don't want to be left, my hand held,” said Lara meledek Shelina who clasped her hand tightly before walking into the bar.

“Liet aja, Shel. Everything is safe, just relax there is me,”

“Iya okay, thanks yes,”

“Easy to go with people who rarely really go out of the house, especially at night, already so to the bar anyway,”

“We immediately look for Caca yuk to say the same thing he did,” Shelina said after entering the bar whose music was quite loud and it was quite disturbing Shelina.

“Caca!”

Caca turned his head. And he smiled broadly at the arrival of Shelina and Lara to greet them.

“Caca, happy birthday yes. Hopefully what you expect at this new age to achieve yes,”

“Aamiin, thank you very much for coming, Shel, Lar,”

“Yoi, turns in yak bar. Last time Shelina had hesitated, enter or not,”

“Why hesitate, Shelina? It's safe, just calm down. Deliberately choose this so that we can party together and the place is wide,”

“Yes, kind of surprised it turns out the show is in the bar,”

“Yes, I love her friends, Shelina. There is a hobby party. Well incidentally the bar is also big so it is good for parties,”

“Lo want to drink what, Shelina?” Lara asked her friend who went to the bar with her tonight to attend Caca's birthday party.

“Eh yes, hunt take a drink, food, have fun anyway yes,” said Caca while embracing the shoulders of both then leave.

“I want some water,” said Shelina.

Ever reminded once by Argantara about himself who should not carelessly sip a drink, what else this is in the party event.

“Hah? White water? Do not want to try a little that makes fly-fly?”

“No ah, I don't want anything weird, I want some water, Lar,”

“Ah sucks, has it been big yet? Time to party drinking water?”

Lara mocked Kia continues. But Shelina still wants water. Lara laughed and finally grabbed onto Shelina's shoulder which had its own principles.

“Okay, I also want water white aja,”

“Yeee just like you, all hell me,”

“Yes, not a strange demen, uh but if there is juice I want juice,”

“Yes, let's grab a drink,”

“Gue aja, you sit down gih, find a place there,”

“Still yes,”

Lara nodded her head. Shelina rushed to the table to fetch some drinking water while Shelina searched for a place.

Shelina chose one corner to be her place and Lara sat down. Shelina observed the atmosphere around. While people are busy chatting, there are also those who move their bodies in rhythm with the music.

“I even sleepy, they seem even really excited,”

Shelina held her hands together on the table to become the focus of her forehead. He closed his eyes for a moment. It seems He will talk to Lara, after drinking, He wants to go straight home. Because the sleepiness is increasing. Earlier on the trip was lost now even sleepy again.

“Eh Shel, nih drinking water same blackforest cake for lo,”

Shelina immediately looked at Lara who had just come to bring two drinks as well as two small plates of blackforest cake for herself and also the friend, Shelina.

“Woah, thanks yes, Lara,”

“Sama-sama, you like this cake ‘kan?”

“Like it, thanks for taking it,”

“Iya, say thanks once again, I married you same Arga,”

“Heh what the hell is it?”

Lara laughed broadly at Shelina's sharp plot. Without guilt Lara ate the blackforest in front of her.

“Ya ‘kan lo sama Arga emang deket, want to marry even like,”

“Yes but marriage is not yet, have been to marriage by the way. You're a distance, darling,”

“Duh called darling. Seneng actually heard it,” said Lara while blinking her eyes alternately.

“Eh by the way, you told Arga that you came here with me?”

“No, he's as busy as possible. Last time chatted in the morning. She's sure I'm going out together but she's in the morning, well I'm in college, not so, huh,” said Shelina told me the last time she sent a message with Arga was this morning when Argantara invited her to go together to campus. But he refused because his class was afternoon, while Argantara was morning. They did not go to college together.

“He's again busy with his duties times,”

“Lo no chat?”

“Ngak, why? Just let him focus, I don't want to disturb,”

“But if it turns out he is waiting for you to connect first, how?”

“Neither, Lar. I don't want to bother Arga. He may be busy doing chores, or else have business. If he is not busy and does not need to be with me, someone wants to talk about it, surely he will contact me anyway,” said Shelina who was reluctant to contact Argantara because she thought Argantara was busy so had not sent a message, or called him. Last time this morning they communicated.

“We go home yuk, I don't want to be long, I'm sleepy,”

“Shortly, I want abisin cake, you don't abis?”

“I'm full,”

“Ah well, lo diet huh? Don't diet, Shelina. You are perfect, why diet again anyway?”

“Jeez, I'm not dieting, I'm full. When do I diet? I eat whatever I want, snack ya jajan just do not think this it,”

“But keep your body that way, not changed,”

“Hai, can I join?”

Shelina and Lara turned their heads when approached by a man standing looking at the two of them and asking for permission before joining at the same table as them.

Shelina and Lara stared at each other. Lara was sure that her friend would not answer, He was told to speak by Shelina considering that Shelina was not much to say when with a new person, finally Lara who invited.

“Bby dong, sit aja,” says Lara.

“His lecture theme is Caca?”

“Friends SMP, lo by yourself?”

“Friends play. Oh yes knowin, I am Rangga,” said the man as he reached out his hand introducing himself to Shelina and Lara.

“Shelina,”

“Gue Lara,”

“Okay, Shelina, Lara. You two are both friends smp Caca?”

“Yup, that's right. Llo is also Caca's schoolmate?”

“Gue knows Caca from Junior High, but playmates are,”

“Oh that, okay. Have you met Caca?”

“Udah, you guys just came or how?”

“Ngak new too, this already want to go back,”

“Yeah, ntar-ntaran only. Talk first, when I just sat down, you guys go straight home? Not good I will be. I'm bothering you guys, huh?”

“Eh Jeez, not at all, you know how to say that. We want to go home,”

As Lara spoke to Rangga, Shelina grabbed her phone which rang once. There was a call from Argantara that Shelina deliberately ended. But Shelina sent a message. Shelina doesn't feel good talking on the phone while she's with Lara and Rangga. If she had to step aside for a while to receive Argantara's call, Shelina was too lazy to go alone. He wants to leave a friend sitting down if Lara does too.

- Ga, I'm again at Caca's birthday party. Sorry you can not pick up your phone first - so fill the message sent by Shelina to Argantara.

- huh? Where are you now? Last night, be careful. How behind?-

I'm the same Lara. I'm at the Nightlife bar, Ga-

- I took it there

Shelina blinked her eyes as she read the message from Argantara. After a few hours they went through with no communication at all. Now Argantara suddenly asked his whereabouts and then immediately said that he would pick up Shelina.

Shelina quickly sent out a message that certainly contained rejection. He did not want Argantara to pick him up. Argantara should rest, after all he will go home with Lara.

oh, no, Ga-

Shelina's message was read only by Argantara who did not give any reply. Shelina grunted softly. His feeling said Argantara had already rushed to this place. This means that he must wait for Argantara until Argantara comes. If He suddenly came home, and Argantara came here He was no more, pity Argantara. Arrival vain.

I'm otw-

Shelina sighed softly after getting a short message from Argantara. That's right Shelina's guess. Argantara is coming.

Lara and Rangga also happened to be a lot of chatter. Shelina became a listener. A few minutes later Lara remembered that she and Shelina should not have been there long. Shelina said she was sleepy.

“Comeback, Shel,”

“Serious want to go back?” Ask Rangga to both of them.

“Lara, Argantara said he wanted to come here,” Shelina said with a grim smile at Lara. Honestly, it's not good. Previously he and Lara had agreed to leave and go home together, but now Argantara suddenly came to pick him up.

“He wants to pick you up, Shel?”

“Yes, you go home by yourself now, is it okay?

“Oh yes, I wait until picked up,”

“Seriously? It's okay to go home first,”

Actually Shelina was very heavy if it had to be left by Lara. But he couldn't be selfish to let Lara here with him until Argantara came while Lara might have wanted to go home.

“Nothing, relax. I wait for Argantara to come pick you up,” so said Lara that made Shelina smile. Lara still wanted to accompany him until Argantara came, and he was happy because of it.

“Sorry, Argantara who?”

“That's Shelina's fiancee,” said Lara who instantly made one of Shelina's eyebrows swoop in. The one being asked was her but the one Lara answered. No problem at least Shelina does not need to open her mouth because there is already a representative.

“Oh fiancee. Kirain your friends who want to join are also here,”

“No, he's Shelina's fiance, pick up Shelina here. Shelina wanted to go home with me only if the guy wanted to pick her up. Maybe Arga was worried that Shelina would come home with me,”

“That's not it, Lara. Though I've told you the same but he's still aja,”

“Iya maybe he will calm down if you are picked up with him, you are not back with anyone,”

“Shelina one campus with you?”

“Same Shelina,”

“Oh, familiar on campus with Arga yes, Shel?” Asked Rangga to Shelina who had been quiet a lot.

“Iya, Rangga,” said Shelina answered the question of the man in front of her.

“Oh, how long have you been dating, Shelina?”

“Udah want their marriage, Ga, do not need to be asked again when the courtship,” said Lara who not only surprised Rangga, Shelina also surprised to hear Lara's words. The one asked by Rangga was himself, but the one who answered Lara instead. Lara is a representative again. Earlier said that Argantara was his fiancee, just said he wanted to get married when in fact it was still later.

“Oh? Seriously want to get married? Wuih congratulations yes, good luck,”

“Thank you for your prayer, Ga. Temen I'm just released single status,”

“Well if you yourself how, Lar?” Ask Rangga again, but this time he asked Lara the question.

“Gue? There are no signs yet,” said Lara while chuckling. Rangga stared with two eyes of disbelief.

“Serious now? There are no signs yet? But girlfriend already exists ‘kan?”

“Boyfriend also does not exist, Ga,”

Finally they continued chatting until then Shelina got a call from Argantara who had arrived at the destination.

Argantara did not let Shelina go home alone or with her friend, for some reason she wanted to make sure that Shelina herself arrived safely or well at home.

Shelina directly shifted the green panel received a call from her fiance who she thought was fast also arrived.

“Halo, Shel. I was sampa. You're inside ‘kan?” Argantara asked Shelina who was shocked that Argantara had suddenly arrived. That's fast, according to Shelina.

“Arga fly what?” Inner Shelina.

“Shel, hear me my voice ‘kan? The music is quite disturbing yes,” said Argantara who felt uncomfortable with the sound of music.

“Iya there is music here again. Yes, I am the one who nyamperin you. Wait outside, yes,”

“Eh no need, you said just where is your table?”

“No, I'm out. Wait anyway,”

Having just come to him, Shelina was very grateful to Argantara. He just went to Argantara, so Argantara did not have to go into the bar. So they can go home quickly.

“Udah come the Argantara?”

“Udah, let's go home, Lar,”

“Okay, quy back,”

“Rangga, I'm the same Shelina said back home first yes,” said Lara.

“Eh together, I also want to go back,”

“Oh that? Yes already come on, but lo turn yourself ‘kan? Not me or Shelina?”

“Yes times, no dong, Lar. I go home by myself, calm down. I'll bring a car, Lar. I won't miss Lo or Shelina,”

“Hahahah joking, Ga. Don't baper ya,”

“No, relax. I'm not baper, just clear because I think you'd suspect I'd be whiny even though mah not at all. I brought a car,”

“Why follow home?”

“No longer want long, let alone you guys also go home. Friends chat so no deh,”

“Lah ‘kan many people, Ga,”

“Ngak ah, I also intend doang do not want too long,”

“Oh want a date with gebetan huh?”

“Sok tofu, Lar. You know,”

Lara laughs at Rangga's voice walking out of the bar with Lara and Shelina coming home.

Shelina immediately waved briefly towards Argantara who was standing near her car. Argantara finally saw Shelina. Was about to rush into the bar, for fear that if waiting for Shelina out of the bar even a long time. But apparently not, after they spoke on the phone, Shelina shortly afterwards walked out of the bar.

“Gue direct yes,”

“Okay, bye. Ati-ati, bro,” Lara told Argantara who deflected a step towards her car. Shelina just waved briefly at Rangga then continued to move closer to Argantara, as well as Lara who immediately rushed to her own car.

“Who is it, Shel?” Argantara asked as soon as Shelina stood before him.

“Rangga, just met earlier,”

“Oh not your friend?”

“Not, his friend Caca. Just met earlier,”

“Yes let's go home,”

Argantara opened the door allowing Kia to get into her car. After that Argantara followed into the car as well. Argantara sat behind the wheel. Not to forget He reminded Shelina to use the seat belt.

After that Argantara began to drive his car died bar. Shelina didn't think she was coming home from the bar and she was coming home with a different person. At first he was about to go and go home with Lara but in fact he went home with Argantara.

“You've been there a long time, Shel?”

“Ngak too,”

“I didn't know you were there. You don't have a story going there,”

“Emang should story?”

“Yes no, I'm just surprised that you went to the bar,”

“Birthday and he's got me with Lara. I also actually want to sleep at home just Lara ngajakin come together to there. So yes, I left. It's not good for Caca either. I met Rangga. I didn't tell you that I didn't want to bother you. I think you must be busy with the same task or else someone is taken care of,”
