Love Silence Time

Love Silence Time
The Tempe 19


"Susan, wait!" Naya quickens her pace after Susanto who has entered the house first.


"Udah maghrib, baby. I want to pray" Susanto said.


"Yes, but wait." pinta Naya who finally managed to pull Susanto's clothes.


Susanto shook his head at his wife's ridiculous behavior, not expecting Alberto's granddaughter to be afraid of ghosts.


"Susan, don't pray just yet. Wait for me to finish the bath" Naya asked and went into the bathroom.


After finishing the bath, Naya quickly put on her face. Susanto already stretched two prayer mats for the two of them.


"Have the moon finished?" susanto and Naya asked just nod.


As usual, Susanto became a priest and Naya became his aunt. Finished their prayers immediately glided to the residence of Naya's parents.


At Rey's house, though,


"It's a mami shirt, I don't think it's too tacky if you wear it." Rani offers a dress to Raya.


"Thank you" said Raya.


While waiting for Raya to finish bathing, Rani who was helped by several servants prepared the need to burn fish from fishing.


"Tempe's not here yet, Mi?" ask Rey.


"Not yet, maybe it's on its way." answered Rani.


"Night, Om!" greeting Raya who just finished bathing and getting dressed.


"Buskey! Papi's heart almost fell out. Kirain there are two Rani in this house," always Rey, Raya just smiled at the family of her lover who is very, very agile.


"How's your mother doing? Papi heard from Leon, he said he was sick." Rey opened the conversation.


"Thank God it's better" answered Raya, she still looked very stiff in front of Leon's family.


Leon walked down the stairs, wearing knee-length shorts and a tee shirt. Even so, it does not reduce his good looks and prowess.


"Yank, that's your phone. Mom's the one who called," said Leon, it just so happened that Raya's phone was on the family room table.


"Oh, yes. I checked for a second, "Raya walked quickly to the living room.


Rey clasped Leon's shoulder, "Is that right?" ask Rey to Leon.


"I mean papi?" Leon asked back.


Rey sat on the bench while waiting for Rani who was preparing the ingredients to be burned tonight.


"Rich. Are you sure you're making him your life partner?" ask Rey.


"What the hell, Leon is still young pi, not married" replied Leon.


"Take him off!" Leon is shocked when Rey tells him to let go of Raya.


"Now pi! Leon is in love with Raya," rejected Leon.


"Love? You're just playing it with no certainty, and papi doesn't like it!" rey's assertive makes Leon hunch.


"Darling, as a man you have to be firm. A woman needs certainty, not you hanging it is not clear." Rani rubbed Leon's back.


"But, Leon is young, Mam." said Leon.


"Enormity is no excuse. Give her the assurance that you truly love her and promise her that she is the only girl in your heart. Don't hang it without a rope!" Leon frowned, not understanding the private intentions mentioned by his papa.


"I mean papi?" ask Leon.


"Will you wait for me?" Rey smiled at Leon's question.


"Ask him directly" Rey replied.


Leon fell silent, trying to pervade and contemplate every word of his papa.


"Bang," said Raya, disperse Leon's daydream.


"Have you finished the call?" leon and Raya asked.


Rani had started burning the fish from her son and daughter-in-law. Naya and Susanto have not yet been seen, whether there are obstacles what makes them late.


The grilled fish is ripe, Raya helps Rani serve it on the table. At the table there is already Rice and some raw vegetables as vegetables.


"So why haven't you come yet?" Rey looks restless, as there is no word from Naya.


"Maybe in a moment, Pi." said Rani to make Rey feel more calm.


Sure enough, not long after Naya and Susanto came.


"How long ago, papi was laper." Rey welcomes Naya and kisses her daughter on the forehead.


"Susan tu pi, long time move." murmured Naya.


"Yes yes, everywhere men are always wrong" Susanto replied. Rey and Rani shake their heads.


***


Leon stops his bike in front of Raya's house, before the girl enters the house, he invites her to sit on the porch.


"Is there anything important you want to talk about, Bang?" tanya Raya's.


"Very important" replied Leon.


Leon took a deep breath and slowly took it out.


"You know, I'm not even twenty yet, and I'm still in college. To get married is impossible, because we are so young." Leon tried to find his best words.


"Do you want us to break up?" tanya Raya while looking at Leon's face, there was no shock or sadness on his face. He has strengthened his heart hard, because sooner or later that day will surely happen. After all, he also felt unworthy of being with the Alberto family.


Leon smiled at the question of his heart, "That's not what I mean, dear. I mean, brother, do you want to wait for your brother to graduate college? After graduation, we were married." Leon said.


"How many years?" tanya Raya's.


Leon sighed, "Is there another man who promised you marriage?" tanyakanya.


"Yes" answered Raya.


"In a village like this, my age deserves to be married. If you just give me false hope, we better split up. I don't want to wait without certainty" he continued.


Leon nodded his head, beginning to understand what Raya's talk meant.


"So, all this time I was just a backup?" leon asked, he tried his best to hold back his emotions.


"Not a bang recommendation. I cannot wait without certainty. One day you might be interested in another girl. Waiting until my brother graduated from college is not a short time, it takes about three years. Are you sure as long as we're gonna be okay. Brother's world is vast, unlike my world which is only around markets and vegetable gardens," Raya said, she did not want Leon to misunderstand.


"When are you getting married?" ask Leon.


"Would you be willing if I married another man?" instead of answering Leon's question, Raya asked back.


"I'm nothing to you, I'm just a lover if you think so. I have no right to forbid you, because your happiness is only you who feel, not me. If you ask willingly or not, of course the answer is I am not willing. But, what can I do?" Leon stood up from his seat and said goodbye to Raya.


"Send my regards to mom!" said Leon then turned on the engine and passed away.
