Soon I finished washing the dishes and immediately dried my hands. Immediately I salute Miss Gendis and kiss her hand. Arka also reached out to me and stupidly I also regretted it and kissed her hand and Arka even laughed at me.
"Sister, don't be nosy with Love" said Bu Gendis as he reached out to Arka's ear.
Perhaps because Arka was the youngest child, she looked very spoiled towards her mother. His tone was also spoiled and Arka often hugged Bu Gendis.
It turned out that Bu Gendis stopped by because Pak Surya had business needs in this city and wanted to invite me to find uniforms for guests and families all looking for other needs for marriage.
"Arka does not follow yes, saturated," said Arka.
"Who's doing it?" ask Bu Gendis.
"Arka anterin, later finished shopping, mama called Arka pick her up again," Arka said again.
"Who will bring the groceries?" ask Bu Gendis again
"Can't you bargain again, ma'am?" asked Arka again with a long sigh that was answered with a headband.
"Does he mind?" ask Bu Gendis again.
"If shopping the same mama must apply dasa darma scout fifth, willing to help and persevere. The tabah it is you ma, must be patient, long" said Arka grumbling.
We three finally left. Previously we stopped by Keysha boutique for wedding dress fittings. Madam Gendis really liked our choice. Bu Gendis had asked Arka to wear a dodotan model but for the umpteenth time Arka refused with reasons uncomfortable and afraid to catch a cold.
After Keysha's shop, we went to Malvin's jewelry store to pick up the ring. Malvin greeted us kindly and showed me his ring and Arka. I was amazed because the results were exactly as I imagined.
"Where, Kas? Is there anything less?" ask Arka
"It's been really good, Ka. As I wish," I said as my eyes continued to gaze toward the beautiful ring.
"Yes, wrap up my boss" Arka told Malvin.
Arka then made a payment transaction and Malvin handed over a goodie bag. Shortly before leaving I checked again the contents in the goodie bag and there was one heart-shaped box. When I opened it it turned out to contain a bracelet with the letter 'K' that I had looked at very long at that time.
"Ka, I'm telling you not to buy this" I said whispering to Arka.
"Yes, we didn't buy it, but I bought it for you, it looks like you like it, There's a K too, it fits you" Arka said with a smile.
"Ka, but..."
"Udah is welcome, let's continue the event is still crowded creeping," said Arka while walking ahead of me.
No hypocrite, I'm very happy to accept it. It was how beautiful the bracelet was in my hand. But given the price, it feels sure my hand will not be strong to lift it. I wanted to give it back but Arka definitely refused it.
"Why is the uniform not percent in Keysha's shop anyway ma?" tanya Arka started protesting again.
"It's hard, it's for a lot of people. We will buy the materials let them to the tailor himself," said Bu Gendis.
"It's a hassle" said Arka who finally got the jewel from Bu Gendis.
We arrived at a shopping center that specialized in selling fabric materials. Bu Gendis like most women is too picky and sadistic in bidding prices. I don't know how long we've been around but Ms. Gendis hasn't shown satisfactory results.
"Capek, usually the last seconds before the store closes, you make a choice" Arka whispered to me.
"We just run away, yuk," asked Arka impatiently.
"Don't be naughty" I said with a laugh.
Ms. Gendis then called me and asked me to help her choose. There were three color choices of brocade cloth lined up in front of me. Color Salem, mint green and turmeric yellow.
"The message is pale yes Kas," said Bu Gendis as I chose the green color of mint.
"The color is too young, not suitable for older mothers," protested Bu Gendis when my choice dropped to the color of salem.
"This is too bad, nduk. Norak," refused Miss Gendis when there was only one last option.
Arka laughed off, surely she understood my current situation. Huhh, the good fortune that I face is Miss Gendis, a future in-law who must be appreciated and respected, just try if she is Rayi, I must have paled her mouth and surely you will have a great debate. And finally the choice fell on the maroon color which from the beginning was not on the list.
"Red SD is suitable for all circles, nduk," said Bu Gendis while making payments and waiting for others in the packing.
"What is meant by red SD is marun, Kas. It is almost the same color as SD uniform. That's my mom's favorite color. But why not just choose the color for the sake of time efficiency?" whispered Arka while laughing giggling.
Right, as Arka said earlier, just after we finished all the shops in this shopping center were closed. Arka seemed to understand her mother. Thank goodness Ms. Gendis is satisfied with everything we've been through today.
"Love, you sit in front. Mama's tired, I'm a pegel-pegel. Want to sleep slonjor in the back," said Bu Gendis and I follow.
Sure enough, just coming out of the parking area, Ms. Gendis was already asleep.
...****************...
"You're here to nduk, accompany mama. There are two rooms here, you sleep with your mom" Bu Gendis persuaded me when I came home.
"No, Ma. I go home, maybe next time." I said.trying to politely decline.
"Weladalaa, I don't want to" said Bu Gendis in a disappointed tone.
"Udahlah mah, later if it turns out papa also want to nginep here, continue papa sleep where?" arka said that was kind of helpful to me so I didn't have to find an excuse.
"Yes you to, brother," said Bu Gendis who clearly rejected the alibi.
"Moh," replied Arka firmly.
"You're weird, you never want to sleep if you're stopped. Lha, piye when you're married?" said Bu Gendis with both hands at the waist.
"That's a different story, ma. Arka is the same as Love the way first. Mom is fine at home. At the very least papa comes," said Arka as she greeted Miss Gendis and kissed her hand. I did the same thing.
We both got into the car and Arka was ready to drive me home. My body really misses the bed. Tired of going around all day. Repeatedly I yawned and my eyes that seemed to contain glue were no longer able to compromise. It felt so heavy like there were ten elephants hanging from my eyes and I finally fell asleep.
"Cass, it's up," said-sayup sound Arka woke up.
I opened my eyes and yawned. But my drowsiness was instantly gone when my eyes stopped on the familiar figure of a woman sitting on the porch of my house.
"Ka, it's the cloud's mommy. What are you going to do here?" I ask Arka more to myself.
