Light For Stars
Chapter Twenty Three

"We're not doing anything, Auntie. Is it a star?" the light then turned towards the stars. Unfortunately the guy he used to call the spoiled and arrogan guy chose not to answer. Even the man chose to go to the kitchen.

"I'll put the equipment in the back, excuse me" said Bintang.

"Haish! What the fuck?" light Grunts.

"Tante, I'm taking this to the wagon, okay?" The light pointed at the tent that had already folded.

"Yes there!" answer Aunt Laksmi.

Finally all the trading equipment and the rest of the merchandise were already on the wagon. After making sure no items were left behind, the three men began to push the cart to leave the stall.

"Yes, for example there are men who want to invite you to ta'aruf you want to?" ask Laksmi when they're on their way home.

"Aya hasn't thought about it yet, Auntie. Aya's priority at this time is to raise a lot of money for college and finance Uncle's operation," replied Cahaya because it is currently the two things that he thinks are most important.

"Ta'aruf's? Ta'aruf is what the hell?" ask Stars. He threw a glance towards Aunt Laksmi and Light in turn.

"Taaruf is the process of introducing men to women" explained Aunt Laksmi.

"I mean dating?" ask the stars again.

Aunt Laksmi turned towards the Light for a moment.

"Yes, you could say so. This process usually involves a third person. So, even though you are said to be dating, you cannot be alone with the woman. In addition, the taaruf process usually takes a fairly short time, which is between a month and at most three months. If it feels suitable, it will continue to the next process, namely the khitbah. If the term is cool fiancee," explained Aunt Laksmi. The woman tried to give an explanation that the Star could understand.

"But, Aya, for example, there are good men that you suspect are you willing to accept?" Aunt Laksmi asked again.

"Actually, Aya hasn't thought about it yet, Auntie. Because at this time the most Aya wants is to be able to continue college and be able to finance Uncle's operation. But, if for example according to Auntie the guy is good. Aya will try to think," replied the Light.

"The plan Aunt wants to ask your teacher to make you a good man. Auntie thinks you're old enough to get married. About college you can continue it after marriage."

"Any boy wants to marry her?" say Star.

"Why indeed? Aya beautiful really, diligent, pinter cook, solekha again. It must not be difficult for him to find a good husband" replied Aunt Laksmi.

"But, Aunt. He's only 20 years old. I think he's too young for marriage." I don't know if the stars don't like to hear Aunt Laksmi talk about marriage with Light.

"Age is not a benchmark. Why marry at that age? When it comes to maturity, maturity cannot be measured by age. Sometimes there are people who are over the age of 30s, but his mind is not mature. On the contrary, there are only 17-year-old minds already mature. Therefore do not measure the maturity of someone from the age," said Aunt Laksmi.

When it got home, as usual the Stars and Lights took down all the trading utensils and brought it to the kitchen. While Aunt Laksmi immediately rested in her room.

"What did you really want?" ask the stars without looking at the Light.

"If the guy's good, why not" replied Light.

"But you don't know him?"

"And we can get to know each other as the process goes," the Light replied.

The stars just sigh. He knew what else to say for Light to refuse to do taaruf.

"But, there's actually one thing I've wanted from a long time ago from my future husband. I want my husband to propose to me with Ar Rahman's letter. You see, the late father also proposed to mother with that." The face of Light smiled when remembering the love story of his parents.

"Yes, yuk. Get this over with! I'm so sleepy, I'm going to bed!"

The Light and the Stars resumed their work.

The stars cannot sleep at night thinking of the words Light. Many times he moved positions, from starting to face left, right, even riding. However, there was not a single position that made him comfortable. Whereas usually, he could easily fall asleep when his body was exhausted.

The star regretted a little because it used to often skip out when Cakra told him to learn njai.

"I have to get a salary. Got to!" Stars determined. "But who should I study with?" Return of the Star.

"That's it. I want to sleep."

Next morning....

"Yes, which star? Why aren't you here yet? Is he not awake yet?" aunt Laksmi asked when she had not seen the existence of the Star there.

"The feeling was that he woke up. Is he sleeping again?" answer the Light because as far as he knows the Star has been awake since dawn.

"Try there you check!" ask Aunt Laksmi.

"Yes, Aunt."

The Light Spring got up from his seat. However, before he had not actually gone to see the Stars. The man had already appeared from the front.

"That man is nongol, Tan," said Light.

"Come, the star of prey here sits. We had breakfast together. Rarely can we have breakfast together like this!" ask Aunt Laksmi.

"What's wrong? How are you still standing there?" ask Cahyono. He threw his gaze towards Laksmi and Light.

"Hey, spoiled guy! Why are you still standing there? Come sit!" now it is the turn of the Light that gives the cry.

The star remained in place.

"Does anyone want you to take it?" cahyono asked with a probing look.

"Gue.. I mean. I. I want to learn to pay with you guys."

Hearing the reply of the Star just now certainly made Light, Aunt Laksmi, and Cahyono a little surprised. They throw one look at the other.

"Saws?" tanya Light. He wanted to make sure that his sense of hearing was not wrong.

Stars nodded.

"Why do you suddenly want a salary?" ask for the light again.

"Indeed, people want to learn to make excuses" replied the Ketus Star.

"Yes, it's just weird. Guys like you suddenly want to learn salary. People in college like to make trouble. If not bully junior must be bully students who can charge students," said Light while shaking his head.

"On campus? Are the stars still in college? Didn't you say that he came to town to work?"

Hearing Cahyono's question just now made Light realize that he had just slipped.

"Yes, would you please tell me who he really is? Didn't you say she was your boyfriend?" Cahyono gave his sharp gaze to the Light and the Stars.

Glug.

"Why do I need to be so excited. Now what should I say to uncle?" The light shakes up his carelessness.

"Yes!" sentak Cahyono's. Aunt Laksmi's husband was waiting for an explanation from his nephew.
