Galak's Fiancee
Chapter 92
“Eh whose motor is it? There are guests at your home, Shel,”
“Iya the motor Ganta,”
Argantara suddenly thought hard, stay forward, or just back and turn around not so drive his lover to the house.
“Shel, play to my house yuk, nyokap I nanyain lo mulu,”
“Hah? Now really?”
“Iya, come on now,”
“But it's almost home to me, just how many meters doang that,”
“Nnothing, ntar stay I told you to nyokap lo if you play to my house,”
“But I haven't permission,”
“Later I'm allowed in,”
“Ya, we have been home first to ask permission Mama,”
“Later on the phone ‘kan can,”
“No ah, now only. I'd like to speak directly,”
Argantara exhaled a rough breath, while gripping his wheel. Though his intention invites Shelina to come to his house in order to avoid Ganta who somehow knew had arrived at Shelina's house.
“What are you guys doing? Back in the book, now he wants to do this again?”
“No idea, I'm also confused,”
“He borrowed some other things besides bukervl
“Nothing anyway, he just borrowed a book,”
“Another reason for coming to your house. It's not clear, folks,”
“You don't rent that, Arga,”
“Gue is tight,”
“Arga is like a jealous person,” Inner Shelina while paying attention to Argantara from sampaing. Now he saw Argantara focused on looking forward to driving his car.
“Dah till now,”
“You're down ‘kan?”
“Emang lo still want to go to my house? It's temen lo at home, at most he wants to talk a lot lo,”
“Yes he may have needs for a while. I chatted with him and kept permission to Mama I want to go to your house, how?”
“Ya come on,”
Argantara and Shelina get out of the car. From a short distance Shelina's guess is not wrong. The motorbike parked in front of the gate of his house is a Ganta motorbike.
Because there was a papa car that turned out to have gone home, so Ganta's motorbike did not go inside.
“Assalamualaikum,”
Argantara and Shelina immediately said their greetings as soon as they entered the house. In the living room there was Ganta and Shefia who were chatting.
“Waalaikumsalam,”
“This is the one who awaited. There is Arga too. Come sit down, son,”
Argantara nodded her head with a smile and sat down on the single sofa, instead of sitting next to Ganta who was sitting on the long sofa.
“Ganta, what's up here?”
“I want to make sure you work together,”
“Oh so yes,”
Shelina stared straight at Argantara. Shelina has agreed Argantara's invitation to come to his house but with a note he wants direct permission with his mother. But Ganta came to do the job.
“If I even go to Arga's house, continue Ganta who wants to work tuga shareng I even turn home, I'm evil ya?” Shelina is weighing up right now. What should he do now? On the one hand, he did not take the time to make Argantara, but on the other hand, he could not bear to do the task with Ganta.
“Arga come here to do the job too?” Shefia asked her son-in-law.
“Ngak, Aunt. I'd like to ask Shelina to leave, can I, Auntie?”
“Where?”
“To my home, Auntie. Mama nanyain Shelina continues, so want to bring Shelina home, if Auntie can,”
“Oh can coke. Want to leave now? How is Ganta? Said he wanted to do a job together,”
“Ganta, how about tomorrow? Tomorrow ‘kkan we have a holiday. Tomorrow's the job, so a lot of time. From nine o'clock we're fighting. If this ‘kan already want afternoon,”
“Oh that, yes it's okay. Tomorrow, you want to go?”
“Yes is using it, the nyokapnya people are already ngizinin. Lo if you still survive here the name does not know yourself,” Inner Argantara cynically.
“Iya I'm going to Arga's house,”
“It's okay, tomorrow we work. That's why I'm going home now, Aunt, Shel,”
“Sorry yes, Ganta,”
“Liet aja, Shel. I'm okay,”
“Okay be careful if that is so, again I apologize can't tribe mergerjain task with you,”
“Iya-iya relax,”
Ganta got off the couch. There was a face-to-face fight between Ganta and Argantara. But only a glimpse.
Argantara half-heartedly moved from the sofa to take Ganta home. The two hosts standing at the gate took Ganta home, so he followed.
“Be careful yes, Ganta,”
“Iya, Aunt,”
“Greetings for Mama,”
“Iya later I'll be byein,”
After Ganta returned home, Shelina and Argantara left for Shefia. “I permission to bring Shelina first yes, Auntie,”
“Mama don't miss,”
“Hahaha can do it. People just care about it. Unless you're married to your new husband, Mama Kangen,”
“I only went to Arga's house, Ma. That's Abis I'm home,”
“Later Arga to Shelina home, Auntie,”
“Okay, be careful yes,”
Argantara and Shelina got into the car and waved at Shefia. After Argantara's car was not seen again, Shefia entered the house.
“Use seatbelt lo, Shel,”
“Oh yes forgot,”
Shelina still had to use a seat belt even though the location of Argantara's house was not so far from her home.
“Gue thought you would do the same job with the kunyuk,”
“Kok kunyuk anyway? He has a name tau, his name is Ganta,”
“Yes whoever her name is, I don't care,”
“If you have to appreciate the name of the dong person, if his name is Ganta yes do not change so kunyuk. If her parents hear how to try? ‘Kan not good to know,”
“Yes but now I'm not the same parent. Bodo very much,”
“You why do you think I will do the same job with him? I ‘kan iahin want to go to your home,”
“Yes I think you are more interested in working with him, rather than going to my house,”
“Actually I was worried anyway,”
“Worry why?”
“Soalah gini, I already said yes to your house, continue suddenly he made sure I do the task together. You want to reject one of the bad ones. But luckily he understood,”
“Gue sure he grumbled in the heart,”
“Don't be prejudiced against people, not good tau,”
“Gue sure, because he ‘kan already hope that he can do the task together lo,”
“No, he did not expect anything. Ah, don't say that,”
“Lo can not guess anyway?”
“Ne guess what it means?”
“He has a crush on lo,”
“Hah?”
Argantara nodded his head. Shelina should know that guessing other people's feelings is easy. Moreover, Ganta is a man, Argantara is also the same. It is easy for Argantara to judge how admiring gazes, or likes men show towards women. And it was in Ganta's eyes while staring at Shelina.
“So when you say you want to go to my house, alias not so fuss with the task together, I can see if he was disappointed,”
“Oh yes?”
“Iya, I can see from the look in her eyes,”
“You psychic? How do you know how the heart is like the mind of people?”
“Yes, Shel. I'm a guy, and he's a guy, too. I know how guys look when they like girls. I'll ‘kannya ngalamin it,”
“Oh yes also yes, you ‘kan guys definitely can value. Yes, yes, yes, yes,”
“Cock justin anyway?”
Argantara glanced at the woman sitting beside him at this moment. He really-bsnar did not understand, why could Shelina respond so casually? Though Argantara thought, Shelina will say “Ya already from now on I will keep the same distance she”
But it turns out that it is only in Argantara's shadow. Shelina seems relaxed now instead of thinking of ways to stop liking her or thinking about how to keep her distance from Ganta even though she is still friends so that Ganta does not expect more.
“Ya keep me yarus how dong?”
“How do you think? How am I even?”
“According to me huh? Just let her like me cake, love me cake, all that matters is that she's just a friend, I can't have more feelings for her,”
“Shel, but if he hopes the same how?”
“This ‘kan new assumption you aja yes. Not necessarily the fact is so. Because Ganta didn't say anything about his feelings to me either. He didn't say he liked it or anything like me,”
“Ya is not yet. Maybe he thinks the time is not right. In fact it could be know-tau he nglamar lo, suddenly he wants to marry you. How will you continue?”
“Yes, that can't be happening. I ‘kan already fiancee,”
“Ya may be. Your parents for example changed their minds, not so my soul mate is the same lo, keep telling you to marry Ganta aja, you will continue to reject it? Lo ‘kan his son obediently,”
“I have the right to determine who my life partner is. So if I don't want to be with him, my krangtua days I want to make a meaning. When I was fooled by you, I wasn't forced. I want to be alone after Mama Papa talks to me. I'm given the right to say no,”
Argantara breathed a little. I don't know, what's the reason he breathed a sigh of relief. But clearly he was a little relieved when firmly Shelina said he had the right to determine his own life.
“So lo time fooled same I was not forced?”
“No, I want to be alone. They seem to be hoping, just that they don't. And I want to because first I want to obey my parents. The second I miss looking for my own soul mate. You can say I'm stupid or whatever for those two reasons but I don't care. The third I believe that the choice of Mama Papa is good for me, and the last I am more sure to be betrothed to you because I can see you are a good man. Yes even after we fiancee you turned savage. But now it is proven. You are originally good. You just need time to get me,”
“If he keeps chasing you how, Shel?”
“Nantindia tired herself chasing people who do not want to be pursued,”
“Lo told you that you have a fiancee and that's me?”
“Not yet, I haven't had time,”
“Yes, when will it be? The longer you say, the more you feel free. He must have felt he had a lot of opportunities to dapetin lo,”
“You seem so scared to lose me,”
“Iya I'm afraid, why? Can't I be afraid of losing? Hmm?”
Shelina held back her happy smile. He was very happy to hear the words of Argantara. Didn't expect Argantara would blatantly say that.
“Lo go all the way from my life. I hate the same you. Don't expect me to be your husband. I don't want to marry you! There is no match for you to be my partner,”
“Dead aja lo seklian let us not be fooled,”
Amidst his happiness because Argantara did not shyly admit that he was afraid of losing her. Suddenly comes the memory of Argantara being a bad person, who does not want to appreciate his presence.
“Shel, why silence?”
“Hmm? It's okay,”
“Lo all right ‘kan?”
“Yes, I'm fine. Just remember the words you said back then to me,”
“What?”
“You told me to die just so that our matchmaking is off, you hate me so much and you can't allow me to hope for anything with you.
Argantara immediately froze when reminded of how evil he was at that time to Shelina.
Argantara feels guilty now. When he made a mistake, he was satisfied that he had hurt Shelina so badly with his words and attitude.
Argantara grabbed Shelina's hand and held it tightly. Without a word, he hoped Shelina would understand that it was a plea so that Shelina would no longer remember anything that hurt her. Apologizing has often been He's negligent, but the guilt is still not exhausted also because Argantara knows the heartache of Shelina is still left even though Shelina has said He is not vengeful, and has forgiven.
“Oh yes, later I may not be long yes in your home,”
Shelina did not want to drown in her sadness. From that He diverted with question.
What should have passed is not worth remembering anymore, but it is very difficult to do that. Because it imprints all the attitudes and sayings of Argantara addressed to him when Argantara still can not accept it. Patience Shelina fruiting manus. Argantara no longer hated him, He did not in vain give a vajtu for Argantara to adapt to his presence in the man's life.
“Over time it's okay, I'll drop off,”
“No ah, I don't feel good for a long time,”
“Kok not good anyway? I didn't bite,”
“Iya I know, but I do not feel good so long at someone else's house,”
“It's not someone else's house, Shel. Are you considered by others to be my family? No, they consider family. You think I'm the same family I'm someone else anyway?”
“Yes natural, unmarried people. If you have just become part of the family,”
“No, nyokap bokap me and my family already consider you to be part of us kok,”
*****
“Alhamdulillah arrival beautiful guest in this house,”
Shelina smiled at the warm reception from her future mother-in-law, Tina. Even He was embraced by Tina like an old friend who had not seen each other for a long time.
“Come in-entry,”
“Kok you didn't say the hell if you want to take Shelina home? Mama hasn't done cooking tau!” Tina whispered nagging Argantara.
“So impromptu,”
“Yes because you want an impromptu,”
“He is not clear,”
“So suddenly Arga made me go home. He said Auntie often asked me, right huh?”
“Wuh don't ask about that, honey. Aunty really likes your name, even almost every day. Mama also told Arga to take you home, but not brought,”
“Yes busy college, Ma. If I go home, I bring Shelina home, and she doesn't want to either. This time to do it,”
“Okay you sit down first yes, Aunt to the kitchen for a minute,”
“Iya, Aunt. Sorry to interrupt Auntie,”
“Eh, how are you talking? No, you're not bothering at all. Even Auntie is glad you came home. Yes, often,“
“It's not nice to be around often,” replied Shelina while chuckling awkwardly. Although the status is Argantara's fiancee, but somehow Shelina is still awkward, even met with Argantara's extended family when Arisan was not confident.
“Don't say that, son. The time to come to the home of the future-in-law himself shy anyway? Don't feel like you're taking nicotine, not at all! Aunty to the kitchen first,”
“Iya, Tan,”
Tina left Shelina with Argantara in the living room because Tina wanted to prepare a dish for Shelina.
“You're impromptu I'm so bothering Mama you tuh,”
“Yes have people who call me mah emang used to cook at this hour, relax aja time. No bother really, often there are guests coming, fitting Mama again cook, do not disturb even Mama happy if there are guests let alone guests lo,”
“Ah can aja,”
“Well right, you've heard yourself ‘kan if Mama often ask you to me, often also tell me to take you home? What is the sign? Mama wants you to mess around here,”
“Thank you yes, but maybe next time don't impromptu kayak earlier. Suddenly jumped into your house, but briefly again reached my home,”
“Hahaha you know not why what?”
Argantara laughed while asking. He was curious that Shelina actually knew or did not her goal to suddenly invite Shelina to come to his house when they were almost at Shelina's house, even just a few distance away from them.
“No, I don't know,”
“Because there is Ganta,”
“Hmm was a bit predictable in fact. I'm just trying to think positively,”
“Serious lo nebak is it?”
“Fourteen times in the brain I said that you were deliberately suddenly invited me to your house after seeing Ganta in my house eh turned out to be real. Is it kenpa?”
Argantara clucked, and before answering, he stood up while taking off his jeans shirt remaining plain white caps. Then he put the shirt on the table.
He moved to the sofa opposite Shelina while folding one of his legs and he rested on the other leg.
“Want to style?”
“Not, I pegel,”
“Terus why move? Kenaoa isn't sitting next to me anymore?”
“More free here,”
“Say you don't want ‘kan near me?”
“Jeez, you said what the hell? If I don't want to be near you, I'm not all cars, I'm not facing the same gini lo. I'm sultry, if near you there is another ilfeel,”
“Gerah where are you? This guy has his AC,”
“But still this sultry, because it may be new until,”
“Halah said that you do not want to sit next to me, yes ‘kan? I was traumatized, you ‘kan penrah talking to me at that time,”
“Gue don't want to sit next to you! No pantes,”
Seeing Argantara move seats, Shelina so remember the words Argantara at that time so He thought the reason Argantara moved seats because ‘ is not worth’ it.
Argantara clucked slowly. Though he moved to sit down to be more free, there were no crangs beside him but Shelina was misunderstood. Finally now Argantara moved again to the previous position in order to avoid misunderstandings.
“Gue feels more spacious there, than here there are lo. I can sit as I please, if here afraid to make you uncomfortable ‘kam, but you misunderstand. Yes, I moved again. I don't want to think of anything. What has passed do not remember again plis. I know I was wrong and I'm really sorry,” Argantara said as she grabbed Shelina's shoulder and rubbed it gently.
“Don't get me wrong, I'm really a little sultry maybe because I just met the sun abis down from the car, so I need my own space to be free. Yes, do not miri assorted,”
“You ever said that ‘kan that time? You remember that?”
Shelina's voice shook withstanding the cries. Now not only afflicted with guilt, Argantara made tight. His words presented a sense of trauma until now.
“Iya I remember, Shel. I remember all my strengths the same. I'm really sorry for saying bad words to you, and finally until now you remember the same words I said, I'm sorry,”
Argantara, who still embraces Shelina, now unites their temples. He rubbed Shelina's head gently, hoping that what He did could wipe Shelina's grief, even though it could smooth out all the evil she had done to Shelina.
“I'm sorry, Shel,”
“Iya,”
“Gue apologizes for everything. I'm not asking for anything, I just need to apologize. And I'm thankful you still want to survive with me. You want to appreciate my prlses for nerima lo in my life. Thank you very much for everything, Shel,” Argantara said after that short kissed the top of Shelina's head and it left Shelina stunned for a few seconds.
When Argantara let go of his embrace then Shelina realized that He had been frozen for a while because of the kiss Argantara linen on the top of his head. Argantara has never done that before. So he was quite surprised.
“Ya has continued to the topic of the chat earlier. Answer my question why suddenly I came here after knowing there was Ganta in my house?”
Shelina returned to their preaching before she suddenly remembered the moment of Argantara's cruel words.
“Yes because I don't want to see him,”
Shelina exhaled a rough breath then shook her head inexhaustibly. Argantara could be like that.
“Why the hell? What is Ganta's fault?”
“She's nothing wrong, Shel,”
“Terus?”
“Yes maybe I'm jealous times,”
“But why jealousy? He ‘kan my friend, he is also one campus with us, so yes you two can also be friends,”
“Why should I meet him? My friend a lot, besides he is like a person who is not easily familiar deh,“
“Who said? No, he's easily familiar with new people,”
“Lo why know so much about him anyway?“
“Ya ‘kan have known from a few years ago. I met him a long time ago. Even long before you. If you ‘kanindemang his son my parents' best friend but I do not remember for sure also when we let you, which is clear said Mama Papa the hell we ever let you yes. But I assume that we really met it as adults, which when we discussed our engagement,”
“Kok you can think that I'm a good guy anyway? ‘Kan lo said, what makes you sure to be betrothed is because you believe your parents choice is the best for you. And you can also see if I'm a good person, how to look?”
“From your eye patch, and feeling I said it was,”
“Gue not sure if you're not sorry to say I'm good after we're engaged. Must you straighten me out yeah in the heart? You are really surprised that I am not as good as you think?”
“No, I'm sure if you need time to catch you,”
Argantara chuckled and directly rubbed the top of Shelina's head again. “Thank you yes, although I'm evil same lo but you keep good to me,”
“Ntar I can be evil too you know,”
“Hah? How's it? Can you be evil to me?”
“Can,”
“How?”
“You're jealous if I'm close to Ganta or Noval?”
Argantara's expression immediately turned flat and the two names were called by Shelina and Shelina could conclude that Argantara was jealous.
“Lo why the hell call them? What's the lack of work?”
“Hahaha not less work dong,”
“Keep why do you call them? Last ‘kam we again discussed how you became evil to me, uh suddenly you even call them,”
“Yes because it has something to do with them so I called them both names,”
“What the hell does that mean?”
Shelina smiled obliquely and it made Argantara confused and a little unexpected it turned out that Shelina could smile cynically as well.
“Why lo?”
“You think I can't be mean to you? Hmm?”
Shelina now turned her sitting position to face her fiance and she gave a more spacious distance between the two of them.
“Means lo?”
“I'll be wicked to you too, yes as revenge I am,”
“Kok is that anyway? Are you getting revenge? No religion, Shel,”
Shelina laughed inwardly at Argantara's words. He patted Argantara's right shoulder twice.
“Nothing, once in a while you should be taught a lesson,”
“Yes, I accept. Because I was wrong, but what is your revenge? Hmm?”
“I will make you jealous like exciting times huh? You're jealous ‘kan? Jealousy is torture. If you really are jealous—“
“Eh no yes!”
Shelina raised one of her eyebrows confused as she said, “Why not?” Shelina asked who was curious about the reason Argantara replied like that spontaneously.
“Gue don't want to give me that lesson. Lo if you want to give a lesson or revenge to me another dej, do not be related to the same heart. I can't, Shel. Seriously deh,”
Shelina laughed hearing Argantara now looking at her with a plea.
“Can't really be?”
“No! Don't be like that. Others can ‘, right? Plis.don't piss me off like that, Shel. That's a real torture. On the one hand ge does not want to upset sam lo but on the other side I also do not like to see each other,”
“Yes is why? Real jealousy?”
“Iya times ah I don't know, can't give a definite answer, which obviously I don't like!”
“Yes, you're really jealous,”
“Yes if you are jealous, then why? Don't like me jealous?”
Shelina smiled and inwardly said “I'm really happy that you're jealous, although you yourself sometimes still like to be confused it is jealous or not but squirm you do not like or upset if I am close to each other I am very happy, you know. That's the sign you're starting to accept me,”
“Hai-hai, Auntie take what,”
Their chat was forced to stop because Tina came with the housekeeper. Tina carried the food in a bowl that Shelina did not yet know what kind of food it was. While the housekeeper who was being held by the aunt brought drinking water.
“Well so be it. Happy to enjoy yes,”
“Yes Allah, sorry to take care of ya, Auntie. Thanks a lot, but Auntie does not need to bother like this, I was allowed to come here aja already very happy,”
“Then yes prospective ghosts are not allowed here and do not eat anything. Yes, please enjoy it, Auntie and Aunt step aside first. There's still work to do,”
Shelina immediately stood up and pulled slowly the waist of the floral dress she wore to improve her appearance after sitting.
“Eh where are you going?”
“Bantuin Aunty Sama Aunty,”
“Oh no, you can't help anything. Mending now you eat only, do not bother helping,”
“Tan, I can help-help work at home,”
“Iya Aunty tau, Darling. But Auntie does not want you to help any of this work in the kitchen. Mending yes, now you eat her pempek. Aunty wants to go to the kitchen again with Aunt because there is still an immature,”
Let's hear Auntie say, Shel. Don't be stubborn. Sit down now and eat the same Arga,”
“Arga you temenin Shelina eat here!”
“Iya, Mother. Can you eat this? Not only cement doang ‘kan?”
“Tany same wall,”
Argantara heard his mother's reply. He just wanted to make sure. Perhaps her Mama just wanted her to accompany Shelina without eating too.
“Look ‘can there be two servings there? Yesterday you did not Mama kasih?”
Argantara immediately looked at the table and he chuckled. He realized there were two bowls. He immediately chuckled “Sorry just realized, Ma. Thanks yes, Ma,”
“Yes you eat with Shelina here, do not allow Shelina anywhere yes,”
“Siap, Ma,”
Tina pressed down on Shelina's shoulders so that Shelina sat back in her place while she stared firmly at Shelina.
“Even so do not need to do anything,” he said gently but firmly.
“Still a lot, Aunt,”
“Iya equally, dear,” replied Tina, after which hurrying away to go back to the kitchen leaving her son and also her fiance in the living room.
“Mama you are so good. I don't even want to know. Come-come-given food time,”
“Yes guests are like that, Shel. Where there are guests are told to clean the new house fed. Where's the rule like that? Guests ‘kan emang should be well served,”
“Ya—-iya anyway, but very good Mama you. I'm not feeling good,”
“Udah don't have to think about it. Didn't you hear what I said? You have to eat now, do not go anywhere, try to help, and do not ever think that you tuh ngerepotin. Understand no?”
Shelina nodded her head. Then He received the bowl which Argantara extended to him.
“Come to eat,”
“Still yes,”
They both ate together and in the first feed Shelina was immediately made to fall in love with a typical Palembang buata Tina meal that tastes really delicious according to her taste
“Enak really pempeknya geez,”
“Iya emang nyokap never fail if about mass, anything that is held must taste good,”
“I'm confused how are the tips to cook a good one? I learned from Mama can't be as good as Mama, and I'm sure that if I learn from your Mama, it won't be as good as your Mama's, too,”
“Could be sure, just not yet the time to be as good as them. I'm sure you can,”
“Aamiin, but it is difficult to be as good as Mama's cooking, and I am sure it will be difficult also if you want to enjoy the cuisine of Aunt Tina. We are lucky children who can enjoy amazing mama's cooking. Out there many who want Mama's cooking but because one thing and another finally can not,”
“Kok lo so upset gini suddenly?”
“Iya suddenly I think it's the same people outside the same who are not as lucky as we can enjoy the delicious cuisine Mama,”
“Yes we're luckier than them,”
“I always pray that I can enjoy Mama's cooking as long as possible, may Mama be given continued health and longevity so I can enjoy Mama's cooking still long, long time, if I can get old. But in hindsight it might be very difficult times yes because if I am old oromatis Mama I am very old,”
“Same prayers for me too,”
“Sure dong, we have to doain good for parents,”
“Yes because we will be parents too,” replied Argantara while blinking one of his eyes and smilingly looking at Shelina.
