Galak's Fiancee
Chapter 19
“Assalamualaikum, Aunt,”
“Waalaikumsalam wah Shelina today bring a friend. Who is this? Aunty to meet dong,”
Shefia welcomed her son and two friends warmly. The three immediately kissed Shefia's hand in turn.
“I Lifa, Aunt,”
“If I'm Tita,”
“Okay Lifa, Tita, let's go in and chat inside for better. What do you want to drink, honey? Coincidentally a new aunt in order to make pempek, you guys on like ‘kan?”
“Like, Mom. They like kok,” Shelina who immediately replied instead of letting her two friends say no. They both said they didn't have to bother when they came home.
“I'll take a drink for you two, what do you want?”
“What's easy,” said Lifa approved by Tita.
“Ya already Shelina took a drink, Aunt ready pempek first yes. Wait a minute, son,”
Shefia immediately rushed to the kitchen to prepare the dishes. He didn't think his son's friend would come by now.
“You didn't say Mama, if your friends want to come, Shel,” Shefia said in the kitchen to her son who was removing ice cubes from the refrigerator.
“Soalya they say no need to say, fear ngerepotin Mama,”
“Yeah, how come? There are no stories of nerepotin. Hopefully they really like the pempek huh, Shel. Mama asked first, afraid they do not like because ‘kan there will be a child who does not like fish,”
“They eat fish coke, Ma,”
“Yes Alhamdulillah if so, may they like deh,”
“Definitely like, Ma. Mama Cuisine ‘kan always delicious never fails, I guarantee it,”
“Heleh can aja you beautiful child,”
Shelina chuckles at the words of her mother who is still not confident in the results of her skills in cooking even though according to Shelina, and anyone who has tasted Shefia cuisine, always judge that Shefia cuisine is delicious.
“What do you make of it, son?”
“Es tea, Ma,”
“The theme likes it? Why not ask first?”
“Udah I asked, Ma. And they say what's easy, yes I made iced tea just aja,”
“Oh so, yes already abis it directly put in front yes, you are there just do not need to go to the kitchens again, let the pempeknya mama aja who brought,”
“Siap, Ma,”
Sheline replied as his hands were busy pouring sugar into the pot he had filled with tea. After the sugar and tea were poured, he immediately poured a little hot water to dissolve it. After that, he added ice cubes and cold water.
Shelina took the cup plus her reason and also the tray. He placed the teapot, as well as the cup and its reason on the tray. After that, he took her to the living room.
Soon followed by Shefia who had also finished preparing a pempek for Shelina and two friends.
“Yes Allah, sorry to take care of ya, Aunt, Shel,”
“Sstt don't say that ah. Who said ngerepotin? It is precisely Aunt apologizing who is ready just pempek aja. Hope you guys like it,”
“This is definitely delicious, Auntie. Because the look is appetizing once,”
“Ya tried it first. Aunty wants to go to the kitchen still some unfinished,”
“Still yes, Aunt,”
“Iya equally, eaten yes, good luck and you guys like,”
“Iya would have liked, Tan,”
“Shel, you didn't say ‘kan to nyokap lo if we want to come?”
“As I remember I didn't say yes, why?”
“But why do you make all pempek? Geez, bother making ginian,”
“No, my mother happened to do that again. Mama ‘kan like to cook anything every day change, let's not get bored,”
“Lo good cook also not?”
“No, I just help, that's rare, heheh,”
“Yes the same, I do too,” said Lifa.
“Not just two doang. I also rarely help you nyokap,”
“Soalah ‘kan me college yes, and often mama tuh already finished cooking when I go home from school. Then if mama's afternoon cooking for dinner fitting me again work duty, or I haven't woken up from a nap. Turn there is a chance to help, Mama often told me to leave the kitchen alone, because if there is me he said even complicated, Mama said let Mama same Aunt who cooked. I was told to leave the kitchen and I went straight away,”
“But it seems secretly smart to cook. I am so grateful for your couple later. You see ‘kan lo tuh beautiful, good, plus mass jago. Beuh must be more and more love deh that lo couple,”
“Udah don't praise me first, Lif. Meningan eaten first pempeknya, Lif, Ta,”
“Bareng lo also dong,”
Shelina nodded her head. Pempek for him has also been prepared by the mother. Not only Lifa and Tita who enjoy the typical food of Palempang made by Shefia, but Shelina also enjoyed it.
“Eh by the way about this soul mate, we really want to talk about Arga. Is Arga the same as your fiancee?”
“Chat just in my room,”
“Ah do not have to wait in the room, here is just why the hell? Here ‘kan also quiet no one, no one will hear,”
Shelina spread her gaze. That's true too Tita said. There's no harm in him telling me now in the living room. There was no one but the three of them. After all, if anyone hears, there should be no need to make him dizzy because the story to be told is not a big secret. It's just about engagement.
“Yes yes, doing in room. Duh I'm really concerned, anyways this is not a state secret, hehehe, just realized me,”
“Yes what's the story? How can you share Arga fiancee?” Lifa.
“Iya hunt story, Shel,” connect Tita.
“I'm the same Arga story was fooled, and we are already fiancee,”
“Buset, matched Arga?”
“Iya, sorry I have not told you, because ‘kan I am also a new child, please do that if it has been too open with you guys, and you might not care about that either. Besides, I think I'm still this fiancee, not more, so yes no need to bumbar first,” Shelina said as she looked at her two friends with sad eyes feeling guilty.
“Gosh, you don't have to apologize, you're not wrong. We're glad you're like this story, Shel. So we're getting more familiar. You can tell any story, Shel. Who says we both don't care? You're wrong, just later after the wedding don't forget to invite both of us, okay? And if we need to invite others too, our friends mean it. Let them know that you and Arga are married. Marriage should be told to people so as not to nimbulin slander. Moreover, lo ‘kan new children yes, during on campus there is very rarely any interaction with Arga, fear of people on bad thinking about you two, plus many more on the same demen Arga, he said, same lo also actually just guys on trying to cover up I'm sure many who have a crush on you secretly. Well if they know you are married, it automatically makes them retreat alon-alon,” said Lifa with his adult thoughts. Lifa explained that as a friend he was happy to hear the news. And Lifa hoped that Shelina would never hesitate to tell him about anything, Lifa also hoped that Shelina would not hesitate to share the next news, namely marriage. Wedding news is good to be announced so as not to cause slander. Plus it can be a reminder to anyone who puts their heart on Shelina or Argantara so they don't expect anything more from the two because they're married.
“Againly agree Tita. I do not have to talk at length, already represented by Tita,” said Lifa.
“Iya thanks yes, Ta, Lif. I'm sorry for the new story again. I didn't want the actual stories, but because you already know from Satria, so yes I've opened them all,”
“Ih anyway next time, you should be the stories yes to us,”
“Okay ready, Lif,”
“But you're the same Arga already in love yet?” Ask Tita.
“Ngak,”
“Hah? How to?”
“Not yet I mean,”
“But actually love can come at any time, Shel. Don't worry. Lo often hear this expression ‘kan ‘love can come because I'm used to’ so I'm sure anyway lo same Arga will love each other,”
