Not Nackal, Nurul!
Aunt Lupita's Plan

“You saw the two of them earlier?” aunt Lupita said to Rudi moments after Nurul and Tommy left both of them to leave their seats.  “What's up, Auntie?” ask Rudi.  “It looks like I recognized your friend who used that hat,” said Aunt Lupita.  “What Auntie objected?” ask Rudi.  “Nearly, but it looks like they are a matching couple,” said Aunt Lupita.

“Tante allow them together?” asked Rudi in surprise.  “Nearly no, but it looks like my daughter likes it,” said Aunt Lupita.  It turned out that Aunt Lupita knew a lot of everything that seemed to be just prejudice.  “But, Auntie, has Aunt asked him directly with Maria?” ask Rudi.

“So you said that Auntie was wrong?” ask Aunt Lupita.  “It's not so, Auntie.  I have never seen a man who is very interested in a beautiful woman.  But... put it this way,” said Rudi.  “Your friend seems only interested in Maria from her physical?  Is that what you're trying to explain?” said Aunt Lupita.

Rudi was very surprised by the straightforwardness of Aunt Lupita.  “I'm not too sure, but that's what Tommy says,” said.  “Ah, just ignore it. Men always say they only like the physicality of a woman.  It keeps their pride intact.  They don't want anyone to think they're crazy about a woman.  And your best friend, Tommy?  He is the one who keeps the pride for himself,” said Aunt Lupita.

Rudi smiled.  “Ya, and ‘termad’ are indeed the right words for what Tommy seems to feel towards Maria.  But being crazy about a woman and doing something to make it happen is something more honorable.  Those are two different things, Auntie,” said Rudi.

“You mean Tommy will destroy my daughter then just leave?” Aunt Lupita held her breath.  If so, this cannot continue.  Nurul is not ready to defend himself against the seductive allure of a young man like Tommy.  Aunt Lupita did not intend to send the girl home in a bad condition.

“It's not so, Auntie.  Tommy I know is a man who always avoids innocent women,” said Rudi.  “It turns out he didn't avoid Maria right?” said Aunt Lupita.  Rudi seemed to think.  “No, Aunt.  He did not avoid Maria,” Rudi said.  He turned his head to look at Aunt Lupita.  “Tante, does Aunt intend to trap Tommy for Aunt's daughter?” ask Rudi.

“Sure!  Mary fell in love with him.  If my daughter wants a man, then I will do all I can to get her for Maria,” said Aunt Lupita.  At least that's what Aunt Lupita can do for Nurul after involving him in the disaster Icha made.

“Maria in love with Tommy?” Rudi seemed to think.  “Maria did not say it directly.  The girl did not know her own thoughts.  But, I know how young women and I risked my husband's wealth because I believed that my daughter loved that bastard,” said Aunt Lupita. 

Rudi rubbed his chin.  “I have to trust Aunt's maternal instinct about it.  And there is no doubt that Tommy also fell in love with Maria,” said Rudi.  Aunt Lupita's eyes are wide open.  “Are you sure, Nak Rudi?” tanyakanya.  “Tommy also often denies it.  But I've never seen him behave like this with a woman.  He cannot take Mary out of his sight or stop talking about Maria,”.

“Well!  Okay then.  We have to do something,” said Aunt Lupita.  “Tante plan what?” ask Rudi.  Aunt Lupita paused for a moment to look at Rudi.  Rudi is a charming man.  He's tall, Aunt Lupita likes tall men.  Rudi also has a fairly strong bone structure.  More importantly, he had all the qualities of a gentleman, manners, manner of conduct and his sense of humor.

Regarding Mr. Sudarsono's fear about the man who will accompany Icha, surely Aunt Lupita does not support him.  However, before carrying out his plan to Rudi, Aunt Lupita wanted to confirm his decision.  He wanted to give Rudi hope and thus make him hard to come looking for Icha, while at the same time he gave Tommy the opportunity to propose to Nurul.

“Do you like to have fun, Nak Rudi?” ask Aunt Lupita.  “Means Aunt?” ask Rudi.  “Parties, banquets, picnics or entertainment.  You have a villa in Bogor area, right?  I know from your social media.  It doesn't seem like a problem to have a fun event there.  I could have done it myself, but it sure looks suspicious.  And if two people don't want to take the initiative to meet this we happen to invite, then no one will blame you right?” said Aunt Lupita.

“Ya, but.. “ said Rudi.  “I want to know close to your life, Nak Rudi.  If you really like Icha, I think this is a good moment,” said Aunt Lupita.  “Icha found, Auntie?” ask Rudi.  “Almost.one finds his usual place of activity.  How about after this we meet Icha.  Some say he was involved in a bazaar event in the city park,” said Aunt Lupita.

The expression on Rudi's face was simply indescribable.  “Tante, is Aunt setting us up?  me and Tommy?” said Rudi.  “Hahaha... Of course trap!  Trapping in another sense, yes!  I just want to show you the great benefits that you and your friend and my daughter can get by holding an event in your villa,”, said Aunt Lupita.

As Rudi looks to consider it, Aunt Lupita added, “And it will also give me the opportunity to get to know Tommy further for my daughter,”.  A reluctant smile appeared on Rudi's lips.  “Tante is a smart girl!  Skip smart to manipulate,” said Rudi.  “Thank you.  I tried hard to manage my family's life while ensuring their happiness. Although, it was a little troublesome for me,” said Aunt Lupita.

Rudi chuckled.  “Hahaha.. Okay, okay.  Then I won't get in the way of Aunt's plan.  I really need someone who can help me like this Aunt.  And Tommy obviously needs a wife, even though he never admits it,”.

“Because this is Aunt's idea, what is Aunt's proposal about anyone I should invite?  Of course Auntie, Maria and Tommy,” said Rudi.  “Act Brian too,” says Aunt Lupita.  “Brian?  Why?” ask Rudi.  “Tommy will be jealous of Brian's interest in my daughter.  You know that, right?” said Aunt Lupita.  Of course that's just the assumption of Aunt Lupita.  

The reason Aunt Lupita was actually to invite that loathsome guy to their party and trap Brian that he was the one who had already escaped Icha.  “If I were an Aunt, I wouldn't trust Brian to be near Maria,”.  “I do too.  But Tommy will make sure Brian can treat Maria with respect. Aye right?” said Aunt Lupita.

“I hope so too,” said Rudi. Rudi's angry gaze faded.  “OK, Aunt.  Is there anything else I can do?” ask Rudi.  “Oh yes, I have many suggestions.  But that's not enough we're talking about here.  Soon Maria and Tommy will be back in their seats, right?  In addition we also have to meet Icha after this event,” said Aunt Lupita.

It is time to put an end to this stupidity.  Before all was ended by Aunt Lupita, she planned to make sure Nurul would get something valuable out of this matter.
