Macaroons
9. Coercion

Nia has been working in this factory for three months.

He was happy because he was able to give his mother a considerable amount of money.

"Would you like to go home?" Ask Laila because the last two months Nia always returned home after payday.

"No, La. I'll send you the money." Replied Nia while lying on their rented bed.

While Laila is busy preparing to go with Irfan who is now officially her boyfriend.

Yes, a while ago Irfan expressed his feelings for Laila.

And of course Laila accepted it with pleasure.

Nia woke up from the fall when she saw the clothes Laila was wearing.

"La, your clothes are too open, you'll catch a cold!" Said Nia slightly commenting with the clothes that Laila was wearing at that time.

Laila wears a sleeveless top with a fairly low cleavage.

"It's okay, I'll wear this too!" Laila answered, taking her denim jacket.

"I'll go first!" With a happy face Laila also said goodbye.

"Yes, La. be careful!" Answer Nia.

After Laila left, Nia returned to lay her body on the bed.

But the ringing sound of his phone forced him to get back up because he had to pick up his phone lying on the table.

An anonymous number is listed there.

Although hesitant, Nia still accepted the call.

"Hello." Nia Yell

"It's me, Nata. I'm in the alley in front of your contract, come here now!."

Nia did not have time to answer Nata had cut off his phone connection.

A few seconds later, Nata sent a message.

'Don't be long' Say the contents of the message.

Nia also sighed and slightly tidied up her hijab and went to meet Nata.

From a distance Nia saw Nata sitting on his motorcycle.

Nata smiled when he saw Nia walking towards him.

"What's up, sir?" Nia asked when she was near Nata.

"Come, Ride. Keep me eating." Nata

"But Sir!" Nia glanced at her clothes that were only wearing pajamas and an instant hijab.

"It's okay. We just want to eat" replied Nata.

"Let's go up fast." Connect nata again.

Nia could not refuse it and ride the Nata motorbike.

"What do you want to eat?" Tanya Nata While continuing to advance the motor.

"As for you, I'll just accompany you" replied Nia.

Nata also propelled his motor to a place.

After a while Nata also parked his motorbike in a simple restaurant.

After getting off the bike, Nata grabbed Nia's hand and invited her to enter the restaurant.

Nia is very surprised by Nata's treatment, and tries to let go.

"It's my favorite place to eat with my mom" Nata said as they sat down.

Nata chose a seat with a nuance of lesehan.

"What do you want to order?" Ask Nata.

"As for the Father" answered Nia.

Since then Nia has only been silent because she was confused by the behavior of her superiors.

Some food is already on the table.

"Let's eat!" said Nata who scoops rice into Nia's plate.

"Tomorrow where are you going?" Nata asked between their meals.

"I picked you up!. My mom wants to see you." Say Nata with ease.

Hearing Nata's words, Nia immediately stopped chewing and sipped her drink.

"What father mean? why should I meet his mother?" Nia Yell

"I don't know your mom every day." Answer Nata.

Nia was confused by Nata's answer.

How could Nata's mother ask about him, while he never knew about Nata's mother.

Seeing Nia who was like a confusion Nata also pulled out his phone.

He made a video call with his Mom.

"Mommy, this is the guy you're looking for, right? Tomorrow Nata take him home" Nata said, pointing his phone at Nia.

"Neng, tomorrow Mother wait at home. I've been shopping a lot for tomorrow's cook." Said my mother to Nia.

Because nervous and getting pressure from the nata who told him to say yes, Nia finally agreed to Mak Leha's words.

"I-yes, Mom." Nia answered nervously.

Nata smiled with relief.

"What does this mean, sir?" Nia asked when Nata had cut off her phone connection with her mother.

"We'll see tomorrow. I don't know why my mom wants to see you either." Answer Nata

"But why do I have to meet his mother? I don't even know my mother." Said Nia who was dissatisfied with Nata's answer.

"Yes, so tomorrow you acquaintances keep asking why Mom wants to see you." Nata replied which made Nia even more incomprehensible.

"Let's continue eating." Tell Nata who sees Nia to be quiet.

Nia went back to eating her food while being silent and confused.

How could he suddenly become acquainted with a mother of a man whom he did not even know very well.

FLASH BACK ON.

"When do you want to know your boyfriend as your mom? A few months ago you promised to meet your future wife with Mom. You know, every day Mom waits for that day." Say to Nata who is eating.

"Emak why the hell do you have a wife candidate?" Reply to Nata While chewing food.

"This guy is old. I want to see you get married and have a family. So if you suddenly die, you're not sad to see you live a kara."

"Emak don't talk like that. Mothers should be healthy until the grandchildren of adult mothers." Answer Nata

"Yes, I hope so too. But we don't know if you'll get there by then"

She left Nata and went back to her room.

After finishing eating, Nata immediately washed the old dishes he had eaten.

In this house Nata is only alone with Mom.

So he often helps with homework so as not to be too burdensome for his mother.

Mother's words last night really stuck in Nata's heart, until when in the factory it seemed to ring a canal.

Nata sat pensively at his desk.

He kept thinking what to do.

Getting a woman to be a boyfriend is not a difficult thing for Nata.

But this is different, he will introduce a woman as his future wife to the mother.

"But who??" Inner Nata as if shouting.

Nia. Nia is the right person according to Nata.

Nata has an interest in Nia.

But many times Nata invites Nia to just go out to eat or go for a walk, but Nia always refuses.

Finally, Nata has an idea.

During the break, Nata meets Laila and asks her to give Nia her phone number.

Laila refuses, but Nata forces her.

When he came home from the factory Nata found his mother pensive sedan herself.

"Emak, just relax. Tomorrow I'll bring a daughter-in-law for you." Nata approached the mother and kissed the back of her hand.

"You didn't lie, did you?" My smiling Mother replied happily.

"No, tomorrow Nata brings him here." replied Nata and went into his room.

While in the room, Nata gets frustrated. It has to be how?

Last afternoon he had the idea to ask for a phone number and approached Nia slowly, and not so quickly.

Even he promised tomorrow he would bring a son-in-law for his mother.

at seven o'clock in the evening, Nata was tidy and prepared to leave.

"Nata go first Mak." said Nata before leaving.

Nata drives his bike somewhere.

"Oh my God, ease my way to make my mother happy." a heartfelt prayer was said from the bottom of Nata's heart.

While driving his bike Nata continues to hope God eases his way.

Nata stopped his motorbike in front of an alley, where he had delivered Nia.

He took a deep breath and took his phone out of his pocket.

He immediately dialed Nia's phone number which he had forcibly obtained from Laila.

"I'm in front of your rented alley, come here now" Nata said, turning off his call.

After hanging up the phone, Nata raised his head and went back to praying in his heart, for Nia to meet him.

A smile was on Nata's face when he saw Nia walking towards him.
