"Assalaamualaikum," said the mother, when entering the house without opening the door because I had left the door open for as long as there was Kak Rama.
"Waalaikumsalam," answered me and Brother Rama almost simultaneously.
"Let's go in Bu Yani, Ira," Mother told the two women, apparently the mother and the child. I don't know who they are.
"Thank you Mrs Hajjah, assalaamualaikum," said the woman, who was called Bu Yani by her mother. Both are in.
At once Brother Rama got up and excuse me for going home.
"Where is Brother? In haste. Let's just move to the back room" I said.
"No need to War. Come here again sometime. Let's all," said Brother Rama excuse me.
"Mom, excuse me" Rama said to my mother.
"Yes," replied the mother, short. Au was surprised to see the attitude of his mother towards Kak Rama who looked unusual. Maybe because there are guests? Or is there something else? I don't know.
"Please sit Bu Yani, Non Ira," said Mother invited her two guests to sit down.
"Yes, yes, thank you Mrs Hajjah" said Bu Yani.
I immediately got up while cleaning the two used glasses earlier with Brother Rama. I mean just going into the room because I feel the guest is in her interest with mom.
However, it is not surprising that mother prevents.
"Sit down War. This is Aunt Yani and her daughter, Ira.Come acquaintances. Let the glass be stored by the mother and will make a new drink" said the mother.
"But....."
"Sit down first" said the mother, not giving me a chance to continue the conversation.
I could do nothing but sit back in my chair. My heart is not troubled, upset, what the fuck mother told me to sit here while these two guests have nothing to do with me.
"How are you doing, Nak Warya?" aunty Yani asked, it turns out that she already knows my name.
"Alhamdulillah good Aunt," I replied shortly and only gave her a glance.
"Tante deliberately wanted to visit Bu Hajjah with Aunt's daughter, Ira. Come Ira acquaintance with Kak Warya," said Aunt Yani while looking at her daughter.
"Oh, wear all acquaintances. What's the deal with my acquaintance?" I murmured in my heart, very upset.
"Known, I'm Ira Kak Warya," Ira said as she offered a hand in greeting.
I was stunned for a moment and left Ira's hand outstretched without me touching it. Suddenly the mother came with three cups of drinks, no idea what.
"Lho, you know, you know.kok that Ira's hand was left outstretched, let's welcome dong War!" said mother.
I can also accept the hand of a girl named Ira.
"Yra"
"Warya," I said softly, just glancing at her face.
Ira looked oval-faced, mature-skinned but sweet-looking, not too far away with her mother, her hair black straight and tied behind her.
"Come on Bu Yani, Ira, nothing good to drink" said the mother.
"Thank you Mrs Hajjah" said Aunt Yani.
"Thank you Auntie" said Ira.
"War's mom's friend, Aunt Yani, let's meet up!" mother's word.
"It was Bu Hajah" replied Aunt Yani.
"Oh already? Yes thank you, so hopefully this first meeting can connect the closer friendship between the Bu Yani family and us here," said the mother.
I wonder why mom said to connect the cord even tighter, what does that mean?
"That's my hope, too, Bu Hajjah. Moga-may be pleased by God," Aunt Yani's timpal made me even more upset.
"Ehmh," I cleared my throat and intended to leave the living room. However, with a reflex motion mother grasped my hand.
"Where are you going War? Any guests want to go?" asked, looking at my face.
"I'm going to go back" I said spontaneously.
"Be behind him later. Accompany Ira, pity that he came all the way here. Ms. Yani, let's go to the back room just let Warya and Ira be here," said Mother really irritated my heart.
What the fuck this mother made her son be sent alone in a room with a woman who is not a muhrim. Did my mother forget the hajjah figure she was holding?
But really heart, it seems that between my mother and Aunt Yani has been compact to let the two of us in the living room.
Mother and Aunt Yani both move and enter the middle room of the house either where to go. They also brought coffee cups. Just annoy me because it means they will linger talking behind my back and leave me alone without knowing what to talk about with this foreign woman.
My mother and Aunt Yani are no longer seen in the living room. I'm with Ira. I was desperate to move and go into the room, but it was not good to leave Ira alone when my mother told me to accompany her.
For the sake of appreciating my mother and honoring my guests I was willing to accompany Ira.
It's just that because this was an accidental meeting, especially for me, we were just sitting there unmoved. Ira also looked down, I also did not know what to start a conversation with him.
I waited for Ira to speak, but after five minutes Ira didn't speak either. Just a quiet atmosphere in the living room. I used to want to look around at the HP I keep in my pants pocket, but I think it's not good to let guests unvoiced.
"Not Ira's school?" ask me to open the conversation.
"I graduated High School, Brother," he said slowly.
"O yeah? Did you go to college dong?" ask again.
"No. He wanted to go to college, but.....My mother.." Ira said his speech was broken.
I looked at her sad face after I asked her to continue college.
"What's my mom?" manya curious.
Before answering Ira larak-lyrik to the middle of the house. He seems to be afraid of his mother.
"My mother told me to get married" Ira said.
The deg!
I shook my head to hear Ira's blunt speech.
"What do you want? Married or in college?"
"Where are you, brother. She wanted to go to college but she told me to get married, maybe get married." she said bluntly.
"O, huh? If so, get married, "my advice because what he said was clear enough that he wanted to obey the will of his parents, especially his mother.
It's not nice if I say something that's not, for example telling him to go to college even though it's better to do it. Education is important for the future.
"Have you got a future husband?" I asked, but only in my heart. What the fuck if you have to speak loudly like that. No business with me.
"Sir Warya is a scholar?" Ira asked while looking closely.
"Kok know?"
"Bu Hajjah has many stories about Brother" Ira said.
The deg!
How many stories about me in the eyes of others. Whatdoes thatmean? May the change in attitude of mother to Kak Rama earlier signal I will be betrothed to the woman I just know today and is in front of me?
"What did he say?" I want to know what my mother told me. Moga only mother also narrated about my relationship with Almarhumah that is difficult to separate even though we have different nature.
"Yes, said Bu Hajjah brother has finished college, has become a scholar, active in youth and mosques. The brother was a kind, obedient, loving, and willing to sacrifice for others" Ira said, whether it's true whether it's not what he said it's as my mother said.
It turns out Ira didn't mention my relationship with Almarhumah. I wish that was what my mother had to say to every young woman who tried to approach me.
I still do not want to marry any woman, except with Almarhumah even though it is impossible because Wiwi has been in the realm of eternity while I am still in the realm of the world. (Connected)
