I Found Love With You
142. Kagendra and Atep

“As an older brother, I am also obliged to take care of my only sister. I ask you to treat Lena well. Don't hurt him like I used to hurt Iyah.”

“A Endra trust me?” ask Atep nervously.

“I believe you are a good man who will treat women well,” replied Kagendra confidently.

“But it could have been that I did not live up to Aa's expectations as well as Aa's family. I just graduated from college and do not have a steady income. I also do not come from a family of spooks like the Aa family or the Iyah Tea family. I'm afraid that I don't live up to your expectations.” Atep expressed his concern.

“Daddy many stories about you. About your contribution to his business. Also about you who are starting your own business. If what Iyah told about you is true then there is no problem for our family.”

“I'm worried it will be a problem later on.”

“What kind of problem?”

“I realized that Lena has been living well since childhood. I am worried that if later she married me, she would not get used to the simple life I lead.”

“Lena is not a realistic female type. We are not educated luxuriously. Although later there will be differences in habits, it is your duty as a husband to guide Lena so that she can be a godly wife. I believe you can do it.”

“Thank you for your trust. But I'm not sure if Lena can and will accept me. Now he still likes to be angry if he meets me.” Atep expressed his concern for Kagendra.

“It looks like you have to learn again the tricks of dealing with women. Facing women is difficult. Sometimes we are irritated by their unclear attitude. Did you see how your Teteh attitude was?” Kagendra.

“Yes, Lena is also often angry unclear. If asked likes to say whatever but angry if we do something that is not in accordance with what he expected. When he was sick, I asked him what he wanted to eat, he answered whatever. I'm right..”

“Eh, wait! why do you know that she was sick?” search Kagendra.

“Eh... ehm..” Atep nervously looks at Kagendra's sharp gaze.

“Tell me clearly and in detail!” kagendra's orders.

“Ehm, but A Endra don't be angry if I tell you about the incident when Lena was sick,” pinta Atep.

“Ya... Quickly tell me! Don't much pleasantries unclear.”

Atep recounts the incident when Alena was sick. From the moment he saw Alena who almost fainted in the parking lot to the time he spent the night in Alena's unit.

“Damn it! Why didn't you tell us?” kagendra Umpat.

“How do I know that Lena is A Endra's sister. I also just found out Lena's sister Aa pas yesterday introduced the same Tea Iyah,” Atep said in self-defense.

“You stayed at Lena's apartment?”

“Hm..” Atep nodded.

“You've done anything with Lena, huh?” kagendra's rising voice plus the shaking of his hand on the table made Atep wide in shock.

“Do nothing, A. Lena is sick. I just helped carry him to his unit and accompanied him until he was left behind. I asked for a contact person but Lena refused. He was angry with me because I did not sincerely accompany him. I had to stay in his apartment. It was just one night, too. Tomorrow morning I also go home,” explained Atep.

“Keep what do you mean carrying the Lena?”

“Well at that time Lena got vertigo and difficult to make her own way. Yes I helped you.”

“So you hold onto Lena's body, huh?” ask Kagendra while yelling.

“Yes if not hold where can I carry him,” replied Atep casually.

“This cannot be allowed. I must report to Abah. Let you guys get married quickly.”

“Eh, don't do that too A. Lena will be angry with me if Aa reports with Abah. Please, don't report A. I will get angry because the story of the problem he was sick to A Endra.” Atep insists on asking Kagendra for policy.

“Basic of bad boys. I told you to stay with us, even stubbornly willing to stay alone. When the sick take care is not the mahrom. Thankfully you are not happy.”

“Don't laugh at you!” kagendra.

“I-iya, A. Sorry,” great-grandson Atep.

“Yeah!” Kagendra shouted to his wife.

“What the hell is screaming? Noisy!” Sadiyah came huddled from inside the house while carrying a plate of cassava and boiled yam followed by their household assistant who brought two glasses of tea water.

“This is your sister. As if sleeping in Lena.” apartment

“Whataa?”

“Do not scream,” Kagendra reprimands his wife.

“Who said, A?” ask Sadiyah to her husband.

“Tuh, your beloved sister.” Kagendra pointed at Atep.

“Truly, Tep? You stayed at Lena's apartment?” tanya Sadiyah glared.

“Yes so,” replied Atep origin.

“Yes that's how the hell? Why are you staying at Lena's apartment? What are you two doing there, huh? No pervert, right?” search Sadiyah.

“Astaghfirullah. Dude, don't accuse that. Atep only accompanied Lena who was sick,” replied Atep did not accept with Sadiyah's accusations.

“Yes you are not clear anyway speaking. Men and women who are not mahrom stay in one place is not allowed. If you do so in the village can be raided as the citizens continue to be paraded and married directly. Your base is like not knowing the custom,” Sadiyah grumbled at length.

“It's not so Tea. Atep pity Lena because no one accompanies when sick.”

“Pas Lena is sick is you accompanying her?” ask Sadiyah.

“Yes that is,” then Atep began to tell the incident when Alena was sick and how she got to stay at her apartment.

“You guys have done that far why not tell us the same story, huh?” sadiyah Bentak.

“Create far how does Teteh mean? Atep the same Lena did nothing out of bounds. Atep only helped Lena,” Atep said in self-defense.

“Why Pas Teteh introduce you not to tell if you already know each other even have spent the night together. Why even pretend never knew before?” cecar Sadiyah's.

“If Atep's story, afraid Lena's angry. Kan Teteh knows for himself how fierce Lena. Almost every time Atep met, Lena was always angry with Atep. Hence when Teteh introduced Lena to Atep and there are plans to match us, Atep is worried that Lena will reject him.”

“Indeed she refused. He-he-he,” kekeh Sadiyah. “But you know yourself, Tep. If what is said by the woman is often not in accordance with her heart. His mouth was indeed resisting but his heart was who knew.”

“That's really you, right?” sindir Kagendra's.

“What the hell, A? just connect,” upset Sadiyah because keceplosan talk reality.

“You said that the words of women often do not coincide with the words of his heart. You're like that too, right?”

“Daddy is not like that?”

“So you're not a girl, huh?” Kagendra raised his eyebrows.

“Aa don't interfere. Iyah again talk to Atep not the same Aa.”
