MARRYING YOUR BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 30: P a c k i n g

Today Rani's schedule is packing items to take to Jakarta, in contrast to the relaxed Tama because the goods are only a little Rani to wonder why men are always more simple they just carry one backpack filled with a few pieces of clothing.

If Rani is not asked, she even has to carry a suitcase not to mention other prints, Mother always makes dishes that can be durable such as fried sambal, dried tempeh, even squid sambal ijo, and even, for Rani, even though she always refused, Mother always said, later you must miss the same cuisine Mother.

Tama is now binding cardboard that contains dry food and tengginang of course it's all mothers who prepare.

“Nak Tama, what do you like? Let me find or if you want a dish like Rani let Ibu masakin,” bargain Mother who now put some boxes of food that has been filled side dishes.

Tama smiled happily, she had never felt the moment but Tama did not want to trouble Mother who was in the kitchen from morning.

“Makasih Ma'am, but Tama don't want anything.”

“This part has a lot of ma'am, Rani will not run out if you eat alone. Surely Rani will eat all this with Tama,” said Rani who still put her clothes in the suitcase.

Rani also felt sorry for Mother who was busy preparing various things for Rani.

“Iya Ma'am, right said Rani. Mom rest only yes,” persuade Tama.

Finally I can only cry, the woman also sat beside Rani observing the child and her daughter-in-law was busy cleaning things.

“You brought a lot of stuff Nduk.”

Rani stared at the very messy middle room full of stuff, “Iya Bu, Rani was also confused why Rani's luggage was always this much,” Rani's laughter later, Rani's laughter, “But later the clothes that Rani separated this please just love to people ya Bu, because it is already small.”

Rani pointed at the clothes beside her that she had separated, rather than redundant, the clothes could be used again by others in need.

Mom grabbed the clothes that Rani meant, “You can't make anymore?”

“Neither Ma, I have not loaded.”

Mother nodded her understanding, “Yaudah later I love Mbah Ngatmini, her granddaughter is still a lot of small.”

“Oh yes Ma'am, Rani wants nitip yes make her grandson Mbah Ngat later.”

Rani does have a habit of always setting aside some of her income to be distributed to those who are more in need, including Mbah Ngatmini who single-handedly takes care of her four grandchildren. While her son has migrated to Kalimantan until now did not return, after her husband died two years ago Mbah Ngatmini had to make his own living as a farm worker in the village. Grateful to live in a village the cost of living is not as expensive as in Jakarta, at least Mbak Ngat is not too burdened, especially the environment in the village which is still very high soasial and gotong royong. Not infrequently also Mother and people around give Mbah Ngatmini cooked food.

“Iya, I'll tell you later. Yesterday he said he got wind,” said Mother.

“Lho, have you checked yet?” ask Rani worried.

“If which village people care check Ran, most scrapings also instantly heal.”

Indeed, in the village of Rani people are not used to seeing a doctor, unless the pain is severe and never healed treatment still uses traditional methods.

“Mbah Ngatmini who? Mbah we?” tanya Tama curious who had earlier turned out to listen to the talk of Mother and child on her hadadan.

“There is Mbah-mbah already once, but it is still the backbone. Rani likes to give alms to help Mbah Ngatmini,” explained Mother.

“Mother, reaching in such a clear story,” protest Rani.

“Lha wong Tama does not know yet,” Mother is no less protest.

Tama felt very happy to know this, he felt it was not wrong to choose a good woman like Rani, yes even against him Rani is still very ketus but the woman turned out to be very good and care about the people around her.

You come from outside carrying a black crackle bag that does not know what it contains, “Besok so leave Nduk?” ask the father who was also impressed.

“Father bring what is it in crackle?” tanya Mom pointed at the black crackle that is still in the hands of the Father.

Mr. then snore the crackle, “This banana, from Pakdhe Marno he said to be brought Rani to bekel.”

“Yes Allah, do not make it at home. The innate part of Rani has been a lot,” said Rani felt objected if she had to bring the banana.

“Hush, you have been noticed Pakdhemu even that,” Mother's scolding on Rani.

Actually not not do not want, but Rani remembered bananas food that can not be stacked or made into one with other items, “Rani's journey away Bu, can one day one night, later banana blonyok.”

“Oh that anyway,” finally I understand Rani's intentions.

“Yaudah, if you do not want to take it later in the afternoon so that it is fried by Mother,” said Mr. then.

Rani then remembered something, “Oh yes Sir, Rani wanted to apologize maybe the renovation of her house could not be in the near future. Rani wants to focus the tube for the baby first, and also make school fees adek-adek.”

The three people there simultaneously looked at Rani, indeed all this time Rani who became the backbone of her family, the legs of the Father who often hurt made her unable to work as before.

I exhale, “Nnothing Rani, do not make a burden. Especially now that you are married, first of all your interests. Later if you can start working again.”

Rani of course objected to it, “Don't Sir, already you don't work let Rani alone who is looking for money. Just yeah maybe not rich first that there is always more.”

“Iya Pak, let Tama help Rani,” said Tama did not want to make Mr. worried and also Rani burdened himself.

“Udah is okay, I can pesenan from Pakdhemu to make the closet coc so not too heavy, Mr. work if you can do. Don't be too you manjain this old man Nduk,” said the Father while joking like a young person.

Your previous job was a carpenter, but make no mistake because many of the work of the Father such as beds, cabinets, chairs, and still much liked by people, so young in the past you often receive orders from outside the city.

“Iya Rani, Mother can also still make chips from cassava later brought Iyo to school, so can make daily meals,” Mother does not want to lose to Father.

“Already, no one is looking for money. Father and Mother are now the responsibility of Rani,” said Rani firmly.

“And Tama responsibility,” Tama continued later.

“Lho you guys ban old people, wong we are also bored if not to say, justin aja anyway, Ran,” said Mother.

Rani finally relented to the way Mother and Father had their own desires that were difficult for Rani to ban, although she still objected to it.

“But Rani asks Father and Mother do not ngoyo yes, still Rani who sends Mother and Father every month.”

“Yes you take it easy,” said Mother.

“Yesudah yau yahin ya, I want to go to Pakdhe again,” said Mr. now rise after putting the crackle.

“Gusti wong kok dating continues to be the same Pakdhe Marno,” protest Mom.

Father chuckles, “Lha of the same Mother, fury continues every day.”

Mother grumbled even more upset because she did not accept what you said, while Rani and Tama just laughed at the behavior of the Father and Mother.

But Rani is not aware Tama has great expectations in her, hopefully later we can be so Ran, Ran, although then he was far away afraid that it would never happen and only became a false hope.
