My name is Ayu
Chapter 27

I'm done showering and combing my hair. I put on face moisturizer and baby powder and lip gloss. Everything so no one knows that I'm sleep deprived last night. Let them consider my face fresh from sleeping when they do not know what happened last night.

I'm wearing joggers and a short-handed black top. My wet hair just let it dry on its own. The hair dryer I forgot to bring and was not in the guest room so I just dried it as long as I had a towel.

I headed straight for the backyard that sounded crowded by chatter. I didn't bring the phone because I set the alarm and I put it on the nightstand so Dio would wake up later.

It's true that the back yard is crowded. There's Mama Lia, Aunt Irma and the rest I don't know. I walked over to Mama Lia who immediately smiled seeing my arrival.

"Eh there's Ayu. Here sit, Yu." Aunt Irma told me to sit next to her. They were all sitting on the floor and were busy with their respective duties. There are those who wipe the banana leaves, some make an omelet and some are finishing.

"What's Auntie doing?" my bro starts a conversation.

"Bikin sausage solo Yu. Keep making black sticky bugis banana cake."

"Well, can you help me, Auntie?"

"Yu, you used to know the same dong here." Mama Lia reminds me that I don't know anyone here but Mama Lia and Aunt Irma. "This is Aunt Yuli, his wife Om Ridho Mama's sister."

I kissed the hand of Aunt Yuli who was busy making an omelet for solo sausage. "Who is this, Ma'am?" ask Aunt Yuli.

"I forgot the story. This is Dio's wife. Come on, her name is." Mama Lia hit her forehead for forgetting the important thing.

"Dio's wife? Loh is not Dio dating the same Sheila who is an international model? Oops..." Aunt Yuli spontaneously closed her mouth that was careless. She looked at Mama Lia with an apologetic look. Now replace Mama Lia who glared at the stupidity of Aunt Yuli.

"This is Bule Herni, Yu. His brother the late Father. I'm like Dio's own grandmother. You call him just like Dio. Call Uti Ni." Aunt Irma diluted the atmosphere by introducing me to older women who were wrapping bugis cakes after being filled with sugar and coconut mixture.

I then saluted Uti Ni. "Beauty you, Ndo. Dio likes it. Uti would rather Dio be with you than his disrespectful ex-girlfriend."

Deg. How did everyone know Sheila? Was Sheila ever invited and introduced to all the Dio family? I try to hide my questions by putting on a smile.

"Well help Aunt Yuli, will you? I think it's exciting to make omelettes." Aunty Yuli who is not comfortable because it has been taseplosan immediately put up a happy face because in the end her job is there to replace.

"That's a lot, Yu. Here Aunt Yuli ajarin." it turns out Aunt Yuli is not as thick as I imagined. Funny about the guy. Probably too thin.

"Where's dio, Yu?" Mama Lia looking for the existence of her only son who never came even though the men had gathered in front, breakfast and coffee.

"Still asleep, Ma. Will Ayu wake up?" I'm preparing to release the omelet pan to wake Dio up.

"No need, Yu. Surely Dio is still sapped because of a lot of work yesterday. On the plane, he was still working for his office. Let Him sleep longer not to be disturbed." forbid Mama Lia. Huh do not know Mama that Dio is not tired because of office work but because of berjajiku overnight by making a trail of kissmark everywhere.

I sat back and struggled with my job of making omelettes. Aunt Yuli is now filling my omelet skin with her stuffed beef.

"Hm... Dio is good. And also responsible." My answer did not satisfy Aunt Yuli's curiosity.

"Certainly? Romantic huh?" aunt Yuli is still curious.

"Where is Auntie? Dio is a bad guy. There are no romantics at all." I answered honestly.

I never thought that my answer made Aunt Yuli and the others laugh. Is something funny, huh?

"According to Aunty, that unromantic guy is typical of loyal guys like Yu. Than guys who are romantic and spread charm on every woman, right?" Aunt Yuli asked for support from the others.

"Rubber." answered the other compact.

"Yes too." I replied short. Ah time of faithfulness? dio is still in touch with Sheila.

"But Dio is a good boy, Yu. One more thing, Dio was obedient to what his parents said. The dear son of his parents will love his wife too." Aunt Yuli has not finished praising her husband's niece.

"Yes." I put on a smile. They then continued another conversation. I went back to silence. Dio was obedient to what his parents said. Will Dio obey Papa's wish to marry Sheila as planned? This time I want Dio to be an ungodly child for my happiness. I don't want Dio to just follow Papa's wishes like a buffalo whipped in his nose.

The person who was speaking also arrived. Just know that Dio is a trending topic among mothers. Dio came and approached me.

"Yu, want it dong." Dio pointed at the lookout containing the finished solo sausage. I who now help fill the sausage solo also take it for him.

"It."

"Not washed your hands. Bribe." What's wrong with him? this is right in front of his family why also ask bribe? Pake alesan has not washed his hands anymore, is it fitting bath not use soap?

I also follow Dio's will. I opened the plastic wrapper and fed Dio.

"Cie.. still anget so newlyweds.so ngiri nih Aunty." ah the nosy Aunt Yuli must immediately comment as expected.

"They've been like that since the airport. I just want to be friendly like them eh Dio's father even glared." Mama Lia's statement got a laugh from the others.

"Says Dio's not romantic, Yu. What's this called if it's not romantic?" Aunt Irma now questioned my answer earlier.

"Well, you need aunty. Pahdahal mah suhka kalou Dio beghinih." Dio was commenting with his mouth full of solo sausage feeds from me.

"Cie.cie.." everything compact teased me until my face flushed with embarrassment. What's worse... Dio suddenly kissed me on the cheek and then ran away making everyone in the backyard laugh with his mischievous actions.

"Already... already. Poor Ayu is embarrassed. His face is red." Uti Ni is my savior. My teasing session is over. Dio had also returned to the group of fathers in front.
