Loved Brondong
Ask for blessing

...***...

During the day, Eza comes to her parents' house. He had thought carefully, would tell his father and mother. Keep marrying Yasmin no matter what. Now or in five years, they're finally getting married. If it happens sooner, it's no problem.

On Sundays, her parents used to spend time together. This is the first time Eza has come home on holiday after deciding to stay alone. He steadied his pace, meeting Erna and Adhitama in the living room.

"You're staying here, honey?" erna asked after Eza sat nearby. 

"Yes, Ma" answered Eza briefly.

"Good, mama misses you." He was holding his son's body.

"How was your lecture, Za?" Adhitama asked as he sipped his drink.

"Current, Pa. There's no problem."

"Mom knows you can. You're the best, baby." The woman looks very proud of Eza, finally the son wants to fulfill his wish. Not following in the footsteps of the husband, who for a very long time can be successful.

Eza smiled blandly, compliments like this did not make him happy at all. Instead he felt very guilty, because he would say things that made his mother disappointed. "Pa, Ma ... Eza came today, something was talked about." Eza gathered courage.

Seeing the look on the face of the son, Adhitama confirmed his sitting position. "Emm, it seems like a serious problem."

Eza looked into his papa's eyes. "Yes, Pa."

"Say, Honey. What was? Are you short on money or are your college needs lacking?" Erna also felt a change in Eza's attitude. He tilted his seat so that he could see Eza's face getting clearer.

Eza sighed for a moment. "No, Ma. Eza needs Papa and Mama's blessing. Ezaa ... Eza wants to get married soon." The faces of his parents were seen in turn.

The couple looked at each other for a moment. As if asking each other there was nothing wrong with their hearing. 

"Married? What's that supposed?" ask her a little hard. As if in disbelief, Eza would say this.

"Eza has a boyfriend and .. she's pregnant. Eza wants to take responsibility, Pa, Ma." There was a determination in his words. 

“What! You impregnate people's children? Mama didn't hear me wrong, did she? Don't joke, Eza. Not funny!” Erna did not believe and thought Eza's words were a joke.     

“Ma, Eza serious. It was all Eza's fault. Eza apologized, and now .. please allow Eza to marry him. Eza please, Ma, Pa.”

Then suddenly, a loud slap landed on his face. Making Eza grimace and hold her cheek. He was downcast, already expecting this kind of treatment he would get. He really deserved it. Making his mom and dad very disappointed, was a big mistake.

This was the first time Erna had hit the son. His emotions are out of control. "the Eza! You're still in college, getting married .. That's ridiculous!” Eza's shoulders are firmly gripped.” You realize no, you've smeared Papa's good name with Mama. Where's your mind, huh?" Then push him rough.

"Name Yasmin. He is a doctor and also a lecturer at the campus, Pa,”. Even now that he didn't dare to look at his papa's face, he felt very guilty.

Hearing that made Erna couldn't take it anymore. He stood up and shouted back. "You're dating an older woman, Eza? What makes you do such a shameful thing, Eza? Mom is really disappointed in you. Or ... lest that woman tease you?” 

“Ma, we do it because we love each other.” Eza's eyes pleaded with Erna. “Eza please understand.” 

Erna doesn't care at all. The beloved child he was proud of, had tarnished his good name. He won't approve Eza's request. The woman silently hugged her body with anger that had yet to subside. His face flushed, his breathing rough.

Adhitia stood up and approached the wife. It was better for him to ease Erna's anger first. "Ma, sit down for a minute, don't get emotional. We will not be able to solve the problem if our head heats up because of anger,” the door is soft and lead the wife to sit next to him.

The woman sat down, but she couldn't bear to not answer. "How can I be patient, Pa. Eza is missing this time. Mama did not finish thinking, could-can Eza throw dirt on our face. And ... Papa take that?"

It was very difficult to make Erna understand. Eza and Adhitama know that. The mistake Eza made was fatal. He only wished on his papa to help convince Erna. Eza knows Adhitama will take her side. This kind of support is very much needed.

The three people were silent for a few seconds, then Erna broke the silence after her emotions subsided. However, however, in his heart it was still so difficult to accept that bitter reality. His chest felt tight, he did not expect the child he would be proud of later, it turned out to be a source of trouble. 

"Eza, until any time, Mama will not agree you are married now, let alone with a woman whose origins are unclear."

“But Eza will still marry Yasmin, Ma.”

“Eza enough! Enter the room now! Reflect on your mistakes, do not dare to leave before you realize!”

Seeing her mother leaving, Eza called. “Ma, Eza—” 

Eza was quickly stopped by Adhitama. “Eza, first go to the room. Let your mother calm down. Papa will discuss this with your mama.”

Eza cannot argue. Erna did not approve of his wishes. He wants to rebel. However, he will marry Yasmin, even if it is only a serial marriage. But his little heart still hoped to get his blessing. Now he can only be patient first.

The estimate turned out to be correct, he was not allowed to leave the house. Eza did not want to be a child of disobedience, because that is why he now obeys. While waiting for her mother's anger to subside, Eza will be patient. At least, when she left the house, Erna was already not too angry.

Eza's breathing sounded heavy and rough. His heart was not yet relieved, but at least he had already passed this stage. Eza pulled out a cell phone and told this to the lover. From the morning she had not asked Yasmin the news, she had missed the woman so much after everything she had been through.

Eza tries to call, but Yasmin doesn't pick up. Until the third call there was no answer. He looked at the clock for a moment, maybe Yasmin was having a patient, Eza thought. Then he called Galang to ask about Yasmin. Galang told him, Yasmin is indeed a patient. Eza tau, Yasmin used to turn off the ringtone of her phone while working. Then Eza decided to leave a message.

“Senja, are you busy, honey? I am now at my parents' house. I'm trying to persuade mom to approve us. Dusk, you are patient, I will definitely marry you. Sorry, some days maybe I can't see you.”

The message was sent, waiting for Yasmin to reply later. At least she told her lover that she was struggling now.
