Love In Sketches
Old Friend

Mama Dewi and Arya stepped in and circulated her gaze. The house looks very neat.

"Please sit. Hold on, Intan call Daddy and Mommy first." Pamphitt. Intan went into a room, while the three of them sat on the guest sofa.

"How's Intan, Ma?" Ask Andika in a whisper.

"How's what?" Mama Dewi asked back.

"It's pretty, right? He's good too." Said Andika proudly, while Arya rolled her eyes lazy.People who were kasmaran was annoying, always praise his partner. And that's what Arya used to experience. Always praise Mega without seeing the flaws.

"Yes, Intan is pretty. But you should be looking for a partner not just because it's beautiful. But it must also be good inside out, and most importantly must be faithful." Mama Dewi said as she glanced towards her eldest son with the tail of her eyes.

"No need to quip, Ma. Arya knows what Mama means." Sahut Arya who already knows the insinuations of his mother.

"It's good that you know." Mama Dewi's.

"But Diamond is a good girl, Ma. And Intan can definitely be a good daughter-in-law for Mama too." Andika.

"Well... Let's see it later." Mama Dewi Sahut.

Their conversation was interrupted when a couple appeared to approach the three of them with Intan walking behind him. You can make sure it's Intan's parents.

Mama Dewi narrowed her eyes to make sure she did not see wrong.

"Daddy? Maya?" Mama Dewi muttered that recognized them.

"Goddess?" The couple looked surprised. Likewise with Mama Dewi, she woke up from her seat.

"Is this really you, Dew?" Ask Mother Maya, Mother of Intan as if she could not believe seeing Mama Goddess in front of her.

"Yes, it's me Goddess."

"Let's... I didn't think we'd meet again." The two middle-aged women cheered and hugged each other. Arya, Andika and Intan could only look at him in wonder. Did their parents know each other before?

"It's been a long time that we've never met. I didn't even know you were living in Jakarta." Mama Dewi said as soon as her embrace was released.

"I didn't think we'd see each other again either. We lost contact after you got married, Dew." Said Mother Maya.

"Yes, my phone was gone. And I lost all of you're contacts." Mama Dewi.

"Goddess, where's your husband?" Bakti's father asked while circulating his gaze, but he only saw two young men. Mama Dewi's face changed.

"The God's body died eight years ago." The answer.

"Innallahi..." Say Bakti Father and Maya Mother together.

"We really don't know about it. We're so sorry."

"It's okay, May. It's been a long time anyway."

Mama Dewi brushed off the smile and turned her eyes to their children.

"You must be confused, right?" Ask. The three nodded simultaneously.

"We were friends during High School first, but after Dewi married the Gods they decided to move cities. Since then we have lost contact. And we didn't expect to see each other again here." Mother Maya explained.

"Oh..." Arya, Andika, and Intan are just 'oh'ria. They still do not think that their parents turned out to be old friends.

"Yes, Intan is our second daughter." Answer Mother Maya.

"Where is her brother?" Mama Dewi circulated her gaze, she did not see anyone else there.

"At the back, making drinks." Answer Mother Maya.

"Em, so. Oh yeah this is Arya my first son, and this is Andika." Mama Dewi introduced her two sons. Arya and Andika kiss the backs of Intan's parents' hands.

They then took their seats.

"So how, Dew? Do you know what's going on with our kids?" Bakti's father opened the conversation and his face began to look serious.

"Yes, and I'm sorry for that. I can't take good care of my son." Mama Dewi said, a look of regret on her face.

"Not just you, we're sorry, too. We feel like we failed at being parents." Sahut Mother Maya who is as sorry as Mama Dewi.

Andika and Intan could only look down, they were also sorry for what they had done. Just because of being carried away and also curious, they made a fatal mistake like this and troubled their parents both.

"So how's the decision?" Ask Mama Dewi while looking at Bakti Father and Mother Maya alternately.

"As you know, if Intan has an older sister and she's not married. So if your intention is only to apply, then we will accept. But if we're to get married, sorry we can't. Because we want her brother Intan who was married first, because her brother Intan is female and has grown up." Say Bakti's father at length. Mama Dewi was stunned to hear it.

"Why the same?" Mama Dewi.

"What's the same, Dew?" Ask Mother Maya.

"Our intention came here also to apply. But if it's a matter of marriage, I won't let Arya, Andika's sister get married first." The answer.

The old men stared at each other, why could they have the same desire? They both want their firstborn to get married.

"Excuse me..." A girl in a light blue hijab wearing matching color and glasses came with a tray containing drinks. Stop their conversation for a moment. Subjecting his gaze, he placed the drinks one by one on the table in front of the people who were there.

"Come, Son." Call Bakti's father as soon as the girl finishes handing out drinks to the guests.

"Did this Rubby. Intan's sister." Bakti's father knew his first daughter. Rubby just nodded while looking down. Then sit down to join them.

"Rubby?"

Rubby raised his face hearing a familiar voice in his ears.

"Aunty Goddess?" Rubby was a little surprised to see the person he used to call Aunt Goddess was in his house.

"It's true you are? And you..." Mama Dewi looked at Rubby and Intan alternately.

"You know Rubby, Dew?" Bakti's father interrupted.

"of course. I've been to his cake shop a few times." The answer. Rubby does have a cake shop and has visited there several times Mama Dewi. They both met at the cake shop.

"So Rubby's Intan's brother?" Tanya Mama Dewi looked at Intan and Rubby alternately.

"Yes, Aunt." Rubby answered.

"Aunty didn't think it was a coincidence." Mama Dewi said, looking happy. And it didn't go unnoticed by Arya. Looks like Arya can already start drawing conclusions here.
