At night before Mama Arsen deliberately invited her husband to talk about the love story of their favorite son. Two cups of green tea and a snack of dry bread became friends of a husband and wife who was no longer young to sit while chatting with his leisure.
"Well, it turns out that our son has broken up with Nevika loh." Mama Arsen said with a smile that looks blurred.
"Nevika who?" Ask Papa Arsen who is actually no stranger to the name, but he did forget which one was the one.
"Jeez this Papa, that's his girlfriend Arsen who was once invited to meet us at our wedding anniversary dinner, Papa's cook forgot the hell?" Another case with Mama Arsen who was always observant when she knew that her son had a lover long ago.
"Owh yeah, Papa forgot." Replied Papa Arsen who instantly displayed the wrinkles on her face as she pulled a smile from her lips.
"It's not Papa's fault, if someone is less memorable it is easy to forget." Mama Arsen chirps casually, because indeed the soul of the mother-mom always had a premonition with her flesh blood.
"Mama can't say that, don't look at the physical, instead of Mama herself who always roars like that?" Papa Arsen immediately smiled obliquely looking at his wife's expression.
"It's not a physical problem Pa, but it's a matter of attitude you know?" He seemed to issue unchannelled untruths, because Arsen also never discussed Nevika too much when chatting with the extended family.
"What was Arsen's lover then disrespectful?" Papa Arsen is not the type of person who is too choosy, because according to him one's happiness is different version, if Arsen is happy with his choice he will not dispute with whom his son is dating.
"Not disrespectful either, just a little 'Kemenyek' is it Pa loh?"
The nature of Nevika who is indeed coquettish and also his style of speech that is too spoiled it seems to make Mama Arsen often dizzy, especially her son later thought.
"This Mama's language, don't over-limit our son's choices, let them be happy with his choices."
All parents have the same hope, which is to see their children happy, but if indeed Fate has outlined the way, whatever it is we must be able to accept, because not always the rain makes us sad, because it makes us sad, sometimes rain can give another color in our lives, because without rain the forest will not shady.
"Yes Pa, but according to Mama, Nevika is less 'srek' aja for Arsen, but the good news is they have broken up now Pa, so Mama is calmer, hehe.." Even Mama Arsen's smile seemed to be widening at this time, as if it was gone was already in a state of turmoil that struck the soul.
"This mama, her son broke up and broke up?" And Papa Arsen can only stare at his guard, see his wife's behavior, especially when he saw his wife swaying her head as a form of happiness, he even feared himself if later his wife's neck veins shifted.
"Let's just say, people are better instead." Mama Arsen replied back, if anyone plays music dangdut koplo there, maybe he immediately jumped to join swaying together because too happy.
"Have you been able to replace it, that fast?" He was a little surprised, because many rumors circulated that his son had a cold nature, even his smile was often sold expensive, men were afraid to get to know more closely, what about women he thought.
"Yes Pa, this time Mama agreed with Arsen's choice, she was no less beautiful than Nevika Pa, cooking pinter again, attention was also the same Arsen, very polite son, very polite, anyway Arsen should marry her Pa." As if he gave a steady explanation, when it was the first impression he knew Dewun, but as if he had solidified his heart to marry his son with Dewun.
"Had Papa said, the matter of marriage leave the same choice of Arsen alone Ma." He just does not want the relationship of parents and children is tenuous because of parental blessing problems.
"No, this time Mama agreed with Arsen's choice, anyway he's Mama's dream daughter-in-law, they should get engaged in this week, DOT." The decision of Mama Arsen seems to have been absolute and cannot be contested.
"Was that fast Ma?" Papa Arsen became increasingly curious, like what kind of woman who had managed to take his wife's heart.
"Yes, Mama is afraid she will run or be stabbed by people, it's rare for women as good as Dew is in the present day Pa." Because he thinks women like Dew are a lot of fans.
"Name Dew?" He sipped his tea while imagining what his son's lover's face looked like.
"Yes Pah, his face if viewed as cool as morning dew, very soothing and if Mama observe it yes, Arsen's face is now more visible sumringah that way, if when it comes to Nevika first who sumringah it's just Nevika, our child is like a person exposed to inner pressure alone." Although not often seen, but Mama Arsen can judge that her Son was often succumbed to all the wishes and all the whining Nevika in any case.
"Then what does Arsen think? is she ready to get married?" Still the main thing for him is the decision from Arsen at the moment.
"Whoever isn't ready they should get married too, the guy they both slept with last night." Mama Arsen was forced to be honest because her husband did not look pro with her.
"WHAT!" Shouted Papa Arsen who immediately bounced to the wall around him.
"It's easy Pa, it's good dong, so they won't have any reason to avoid or refuse engagement between them." Mama Arsen really does not care about anything at this time, even though the courtship is her son, but she who is more excited about it.
"Where the hell is Ma, how is that?"
"Any weekend we're having an engagement party for Arsen and Dew." The beautiful shadow seemed to have danced in the mind of Mama Arsen at this time.
"But Ma, do they agree?"
"Should dong, that they have come, Papa nasehatin them to want to be engaged, rather than Papa's son just playin people's children, later if pregnant out of wedlock our family also embarrassed Pa."
When they had not finished arguing it turned out that Arsen and Dew had emerged from behind the fence of his house.
"Pa night, Ma?" The Arsen greeting followed by the Dew's head bow was very polite.
"Good for you to come quickly, let's go in and this time it's Papa's job to interrogate the two."It's like Mama Arsen doesn't want to waste any more time on this.
"Mama?" Arsen's body seemed to be weakening, because it was difficult to win if the opponent of the debate was his own biological mother.
"Why? want to ask Nen again you, have Mama already wrinkled, have Dew tuh still seger." Mama Arsen chirped with her sly smile.
"Geez-neck." Dew immediately choked on her own saliva, because it turns out Mama Arsen did not hesitate to discuss about it even in front of her own husband.
"Jeez, Mama, how is this?" Papa Arsen is ashamed of himself.
"Truly Pa, your son is still fond of begging-"
When Mama Arsen wanted to talk in more detail, Arsen immediately acted quickly.
"Just go to the kitchen, prepare our dinner." Arsen immediately herded Mama's body to leave their chat.
"Let me help Auntie." And the Dew feels bad if it just stays that way he thought.
"No! you're in court with Arsen, too, so Mama can prepare herself this time." But Mama Arsen refused.
"Sit down, Papa wants to talk to both of you." With a long sigh, Papa Arsen crossed his long legs first before he talked about something important without having to use muscles.
"Om OK." The dew lowered his head obediently.
"Your name is Dew?" Ask Papa Arsen in a slow tone.
"Yes Om." Although actually his heart is still tight at this time, but he tries to keep smiling because of it.
"I'm sorry Om, actually I'm not-" When Dew hasn't finished answering, Arsen immediately cut his words with the intention to help, because he knew Dew was so awkward at the moment.
"It's my fault Pa, I made Dew to stay in my apartment." Because at first he had such intentions, even he had to threaten Dew a little so that his crazy desires are fulfilled.
"Papa doesn't blame you two, it's just that it's inappropriate for you to do it before there's a formal bond between you two." As a parent he will try to be wise and prefer to give advice without having to hurt the feelings of his children.
"Sorry Pa, I won't repeat it again." Arsen said that actually only a little regret, the rest he was happy.
"Why not? just repeat, instead of sleeping well there is no nemenin?" Papa Arsen chirps that turned out to be able to joke as well, actually he just wanted to melt the atmosphere, because he had seen the awkwardness between them.
"Huh?" The dew was even a little shocked when he heard it.
"Papa?" Arsen's tone of voice was visibly upset when he was mocked by his Papa.
"But this weekend there must be a bond between the two of you, at least the Fiancee first." Said Papa Arsen who wanted to know how they thought.
"Was fast as Pa?" Arsen was a little surprised, it turns out his father's will is not much different from his mother
"Why do you want to sleep together?" Ledeknya.
"But our relationship was only one month Pa, and this was too sudden?" Obviously Arsen who did not think out, because he had thought maybe his parents would only advise him, did not immediately tell them to get engaged so soon.
"Serious relationship is not determined how long you know each other, but how the two of you can understand each other and understand each other's attitude and character, Your partner is like sheet after sheet of books that will not be read out. For that, keep learning and learning from each other forever." Papa Arsen tried to give understanding slowly, because the advice with a soft voice is not necessarily heard well by his son, even just cause a fight.
"We'll think about it first, Pa." Arsen replied while closing his eyes, actually he was already in a dilemma when remembering his relationship with Nevika.
"If you have dared to go so far, you should have thought about this, son, take it easy, marriage is not a terrible thing, it will increase your worship, if you understand."
"Good Pa."
This is indeed a difficult decision, but lately the sense of regret for Dew is getting thickened, even once stung by fear if you have to part with Dew later.
"One message from Papa, you have the right to choose whoever you think is best before you get married by keeping your eyes wide open. However, close your eyes after marriage, just looking at each other, understand you?" He just wants to see his son loyal to one partner, to be always happy without having to make someone's heart hurt.
"Yes Pa." Arsen again nodded obediently.
"Then Papa stay inside first, you guys please talk, although it's actually useless as well, because your Mama must have prepared everything." He said, raising his shoulders, he knows how his wife is.
"Is that right Pa?"
"You don't know your mom, what she likes, she has to get, Papa lives first." Finally Papa Arsen chose to enter looking for the whereabouts of his wife, so that his son could talk together.
"Well.How is Arsen?" Ask the Dew who is starting to look panicked.
"How else, my mother won't give up."
"Isn't that the case, but in a week's time our relationship has to end?" His face looked limp as he recalled their game agreement.
"Ckkp.. Dew can I ask you one thing?" Arsen wanted to speak from heart to heart without a lie.
"Sure, just say it?"
"Do you mind getting engaged to me?" Arsen asked as he looked at the two beautiful Dew eyeballs shining.
"Emm... Actually not, but we have Arsen's agreement?" He tries to resuscitate Arsen about their brief relationship.
"Originally you don't mind that the others don't matter, because they started this story, so if we end up being a match, it's not our fault, is it?" Sometimes he wants to be selfish like their real boyfriend.
"So?"
"So we just need to thank them for bringing us together by accident." He has always regarded all this as a life lesson and there will definitely be wisdom from everything that happens in this life.
"Arsen?" The dew actually felt the same way, only he chose silence.
"Have it done, leave it all to the Creator, for he knows when we will all be happy." He began to ditch his expectations which were often beyond reason and difficult to guess.
"Then, are we going to stay engaged this weekend?" Ask the real Dew still unsure.
"Hem. because there's no other choice, but I'm sorry I got you stuck with my family before."
"I knew he was a good old man, they just didn't want to take the wrong step and regret it later." He did not even bother for a while.
"So you agreed we were engaged, right?" Ask Arsen who is trying to be sure.
"All right." Smile knot Dew was also seen there.
"Thank God, I feel so happy, here I hug!" Arsen immediately spread out his hands because he was very happy.
Clontang!
But just as their bodies were about to touch, the sound of a pot rang out in both ears.
"You guys, let's get you both married tonight, huh?" Shouted Mama Arsen.
"Nights like this who wants to marry us Ma, what if I save up sleep together first with Dew again, and the marriage thought later?" But Arsen even deliberately wanted to provoke the anger of his mother.
"May, but don't blame Mama if all of your cookware drifts toward you two." Threaten Mama Arsen while raising a wooden spatula in her hand.
"Ma, let's run, baby, ahaha!"
And finally they both agreed to get engaged because of orders from Arsen's parents, Bagas and Nevika's problem will they submit to the Creator of Man on this earth.
..."Don't dwell on God's plan for a mate, for God knows better when is the best time for you to mate."...
