Macaroons
38. Disillusioned

"Please sit down, I'm sorry about Mom's house like this." Said Ms. Salma to Nata and her friends.

"It's okay, ma'am, the house is comfortable." Answer Nisa.

"I made you a drink first!" Nia.

"No need to bother Nia, we'll eat at Laila's house." It was Andi's turn to answer.

"it's okay, just a drink." Nia immediately went to the kitchen.

"We just sit in front yuk! Tasty atmosphere, still beautiful." Bring Nata.

they also moved to sit on the front porch.

In the past, the terrace of Nia's house is still with bamboo benches, now the terrace is already in ceramics and has been much neater and more comfortable.

"Why on the out?" Say Nia with a tray containing several cups of tea.

"It's okay, it's comfortable here. The atmosphere is still cold." Answer Ucok.

Nia also presented the Tea she brought and was followed by Ms. Salma who brought some snacks jars.

"Please try, but I'm sorry only village food." Said Ms. Salma while sitting on the terrace.

"It's okay, ma'am, we're all villagers too." Reply Nisa while tasting the food that is served.

This time Nata became less talkative, perhaps because of nervousness or because of the wedge in his heart.

Deep in Nata's heart he wondered.

Hasn't Nia told me about their relationship at all.

But, why?

It's not that their relationship is already very serious!

Even several times Nata invited Nia to immediately ride the pelaminan, but Nia always said not ready.

Nata plans to ask Nia why she hasn't told her mother about their relationship.

"It's all coworkers?." Ask Ms. Salma.

"Yes,Bu. Nisa's the only factory." Answer Ucok.

Ms. Salma also talked to Ucok and the others.

While Nata only answers if asked and responds with a smile only

Not long after they talked, a black car suddenly came and parked in the yard of Nia's house.

It turns out Mr. Surya, his wife and his two children.

Mr. Surya is the boss where Salma's mother works as a washing worker, Mr. Surya is a master in Nia village, he who buys the crops of farmers in the village.

Mr. Surya and his family also approached Nia's house.

"Eh, Dad, Mom. Please enter!" Said Mrs Salma.

Nia also shook hands with Mr. Surya and Bu Arum as well as his two children.

Mr. Surya and Bu Arum are not strangers to the Nia Family, because Mr. Surya helped a lot, especially when Nia and her sisters were small.

"What event is there? How many?" Said Mr. Surya.

Nata and his friends also shook hands with Mr. Surya and his family.

Mr. Surya entered Nia's house and sat in the living room chair.

"I'll stay a while!" Nia said goodbye and approached her mother who was chatting with the family of Surya sir.

"When are you and mom going home.?" Ask Ms. Salma.

It's been three days that Ms. Salma has been off work, because Mr. Surya and his family are on holiday out of town.

"We came home last night, Miss Salma." Reply Ms. Arum.

"Sir, Mum. How are you?" Nia said as she was between them and sat down next to her mother.

"We, Good Nia. You're getting pretty." Said Mrs Arum

"Where do you work, by the way, Nia?" Ask Mr. Surya.

"Nia, factory work in Jakarta Pak." Answer Nia.

"Oh.. I salute you Nia, you are so responsible to the family."

Nia Just replied with a smile.

"Nia, do you still remember Rio Anak Mommy who was in college in Bandung?"

"Yes, Mom." Answer Nia

"What if you marry Rio. You're a good boy, I'm so happy that you can be Mom's daughter-in-law." Said Mr. Surya's Wife.

Nia just smiled, so did Miss Salma.

"Where's Rio? You would agree, right? Nia is beautiful, diligent, good again." Mr. Surya teased Rio's eldest son.

Rio just smiled in response to the joking Both of his parents.

They talk while occasionally joking with Akrab.

Until there was a man whose heart was scratched.

A few minutes ago Nata said goodbye to his friends to go to the toilet, because he wanted to pee.

He enters the house, and overhears their conversation about his wish to match Rio and Nia.

Nata's heart was so over-flavored.

Nata thought, This is the reason why Nia did not tell her mother about their relationship.

Moreover, Nia always refused when Nata wanted to immediately take their relationship to a more serious level.

"We said goodbye, we just stopped by for a little while, because we accidentally saw Nia on the porch." Said Mr. Surya

"We go first. Later we will talk again about Nia's matchmaking with Rio" Ms. Arum.

"Are those serious ones, ma'am?" Answer Miss Salma.

"Of course serious! I'd be very happy if Nia became my daughter-in-law."Reply Ms. Arum.

Nata undoes his intention to go to the toilet, he immediately rejoined his friends with a very disappointed feeling..
