WELL WELCOMED

After returning the ball to the little boy, Septian and Nara continued walking around.

"You want some ice cream?" Tawar Septian who from earlier heard a special song that came from a traveling ice cream seller.

"Not a boy." Answer Nara cynically.

Septian immediately chuckled. "You know what, budos, right, not a kid? I nawarin my son, he'd love to."

Nara grunted in annoyance. Septian always just makes him kegeeran and then thrown, annoying.

"Your parents, do you know about this?" Nara asked as she looked towards Septian. However, this is not just a matter of the two of them, but of two families.

"Not yet." Answer while shaking.

"Dare to say?"

"Aren't you brave, but you're not ready?"

"Just like that." Sumpul Nara's.

"Would you like it, I'll play with you at home?"

"Huh." Nara looked surprised. He never thought about coming to the Septian house. Especially suddenly like this.

"With gini week, my sister's sister and mother are together."

"Your father?"

"Udah died, two years ago."

"O..... "

"You want to?" Septian asked once more.

"But... "

"No need but tapi, come on." Septian grabs Nara's hand and holds her until Nara's car is parked.

Nara glanced at Septian, it felt like there was something strange about him. Every septian touches, it feels like it's electrocuted. Is this one of the baby's? Or he's being. ah impossible.

...******...

Nara's car stopped in front of a two-story minimalist house. When compared to his home, Septian house is very small. The front of the house was made for the shop. Selling groceries and other necessities.

"Assalamualaik." Say Septian when you enter the house.

Nara watched the Septian house. Small, but clean and comfortable. Far from luxurious.

"Waalaikum salam." Answer a pretty girl wearing trining pants and a t-shirt. He looked at Nara several times. Makes Nara feel awkward because she feels cared about.

"Mother's at Sar's?" The Septian question made Sarah immediately take her eyes off Nara.

"There's a bang, some more laundry."

"Rama, menanginin. This is Sarah, my bad brother. Sarah, this is Nara's sister."

Sarah and Nara shake hands and say their names.

"Sit down, Ra, let me call you mother."

Nara nodded then sat down on the teak chair in the guest room of the Septian house. Nara looked around. Not much decoration on the wall. Just a picture of a happy family. A couple, with a son and two girls.

Septian went in followed Sarah. The girl was apparently kepo, wanting to know a lot about the woman who came with her brother.

"Who's bang, girlfriend huh?" Sarah asked softly, afraid until Nara heard.

"Your sister-in-law's candidate." Septian Whispers. Sarah glared immediately. Just the first time invited to the house, why arrived has been introduced as a prospective sister-in-law.

"Make it drink." Septian pushes Sarah into the kitchen.

Lastri, Septian's mother who had just finished washing clothes, came out of the bathroom. He who saw Sarah making tea immediately asked.

"There's a guest of Sar?"

"Babys brother buk."

Septian directly scratched his head with an absurd smile.

"Your boyfriend Sep?"

"I, yes, Mom."

"Kok didn't say you wanted to come here?"

"No plans, ma'am."

Lastri takes the hijab from the clothesline she used to hang near the bathroom and goes out to meet Nara.

"Assalamualaik." Lastri said as he entered the living room.

"Waalaikum salam." Nara answered standing up and kissed the back of Lastri's hand. His heart is beating incoherently. He was used to facing a lot of people. In the past, he was also familiar with his mother Abi.But facing an impromptu future-in-law, it felt very awkward.

"It's so pretty." Praise Lastri while touching Nara's head. "Sit down neng."

"Thank you aunt." Nara answered while sitting down.

"Don't call aunty, mother, same as Septian."

Nara nodded with a smile. The first impression Nara got from Lastri was, well, friendly and warm. Almost the same as Abi's mother. Only, their appearance was very different. Mother Septian appears very simple, different from mother Abi who hedon.

"Who's name, by the way?"

"Nara tan, uh mom."

"Still no yes, long time also used to. What college do you go to?"

"Lecturer ma'am." Answer the new Septian.

Lastri looked surprised, and so did Sarah. They did not expect, if Septian who is still in college, dating a lecturer.

"Wuih.hebat. What teaching?" Sarah started kepo. The X class girl from childhood aspired to become a teacher. He put tea for Nara and sat down next to her mother.

"Mathematics." Answer Nara.

"That's great. A maths undergraduate?" Sarah was amazed.

"He graduated S2 math in the UK."

Sarah looked at Nara cengo. Didn't think Nara was that good. Beautiful, smart, bright future. What a figure to admire. She will be a role model for Sarah.

"Kak Nara how old is he, very young in fact, but how did he become a lecturer?"

"24, just want 25."

"Ah cook anyway, kayak is very young. I think he's under Septian."

"What cooking?" Nara said with a shy smile. In fact, he was indeed older than Septian.

"Really."

"Sar, where's your brother?" Lastri asked, looking at Sarah sitting next to him.

"Say again the practice of making cakes at home mbak Jeni buk."

"Call, say you're told to go home with mom."

"Will also go home by yourself, Mom. Sarah still wants to talk to Nara. Still pe__"

"Kerjain what mom told you first. Talking to her brother is still plenty of time." Cut Septian.

Sarah can't squirm anymore. With a lazy step, he went into the room to take the hijab and went to call his sister.

"When were you told to go to your room?"

Deg

Septian heart stops beating. The feeling he has not told what, then where his mother can know. As for Nara, the woman immediately bowed in embarrassment. I don't know how he behaved this time. Anyway, here she is not a victim. He and Septian were equally wrong. They are in the same position.

"Mom already knows."

Lastri could not hold back her tears as she said that word.

"Where do you know?" Septian asked doubtfully.

"Shaila accidentally misses USG photos while cleaning your room."

Septian closed his eyes while prying his nose. Never thought he was that stupid.

Septian approached Lastri and rested on both feet. He hugged the calf of Lastri and buried his face in the lap of the mother who was sitting. He dared not look at his mother. Staring at the old face that was currently crying over it.

"I'm sorry Septian buk." He murmured with regret.

"Don't apologize to mom. Apologize to God and to Nara's family. You've ruined their son's future." Lastri answered while stroking Septian's head.

At the same time, there was the sound of Ashar's voice reverberating. Lastri told Septian Kemasjid first to pray for congregation.

"Nara, have you eaten neng?" Ask Lastri.

"Su, it's mom."

"Today I'm not cooking. Let's wait for Shaila to come, let her cook for Nara. Pregnant women are often hungry."

Long life, which is said to suddenly appear. Shaila came with Sarah. Shaila, Septian's second sister, looked very beautiful with a blue-colored robe and a matching hijab. The carcass is calm and mature.

"This is Nara's sister, who I told you about." Sarah excitedly introduces Nara. Ever since the road, Sarah kept telling me about her brother's girlfriend.

"Sheila." Shaila said as she shook Nara's hand.

"Nara."

I heard the screams of the buyers from outside. Make Shaila immediately release his hand post to serve the buyer. Sarah, the girl came out following her sister.

"Whose car is Sha?" Tanya Bu Retno who happened to come to buy eggs.

"His girlfriend bang Septian." Answer Sarah.

"Waduh.. pinter is also Asep's girlfriend. The rich man's son seems to. Beautiful isn't?" Miss Retno started kepo.

"Beh, not pretty anymore, really." Sarah answered again. As for Shaila, the girl just looked at Sarah while shaking her head.

"Curious." Retno walked to the side of the store to peek at the face of Septian's girlfriend who was said to be beautiful. He tilted his head around the living room collar so he could see clearly.

"Is that Asep's girlfriend?" Ms. Retno looked surprised.

"Yes, why?" Shaila frowned in surprise at Bu Retno's expression.

"He's Mr Satrio's son, right? Her name..... " Mrs Retno seemed to be remembering. "Nara, yes, Kinara."

Sarah and Shaila looked at each other. They don't know if Miss Retno knows Nara.

"Has she divorced her husband, and she's dating Asep? Just got married. About 3 or 4 months ago. Bali's Wedding. My husband got the invitation. Even the same as Si Rena still kept his invitation. He said he wanted to make a reference. He wants to get married again." Rena is the son of Retno.

"Mom sure?" Ask Shaila. He's starting to look agitated. Back to the USG photo he found yesterday. If it really belongs to Nara, it means that the woman is 3 months pregnant. If it's true what Miss Retno said. Whose son Nara actually conceived. He should have just been married by then.

"really. If you don't believe me, come to my mom's house. I showed you the invitation. There's a prewed photo too."
