One Step Closer

When going to order the menu, look friends Mas Rendi approached happily.
"Rendi??" the voice of a man greeting.
"Eh, Elo Wan,!! Wulan knows this Temen Mas, he owns this cafe"
With both hands outstretched.
"Guardian"
"Irwan, yuk Ren I'm staying first, enjoy your mbak, good luck" said the man was friendly.
"Oh yes, sorry I didn't come to your wedding, congratulations again !!"
"Ah, iyya no papa, thank you, you are also hunted !!" said the man, laughing lightly and leaving his best friend.
It looks like Mas Rendi is so clumsy to see Wulan. Wulan only smiled briefly and turned to look around.
"Mas, what's the matter??" ask Wulan.
Mas Rendi was silent for a moment. He looked at Wulan inside.
"Like you, !! you must know that"
Instantly Wulan was glued, Wulan's hand was nervous to hear Mas Rendi's statement, umpteenth time.
"When do you want to ignore your feelings??" said heavy.
Wulan was silent.
"One month later Ibu Mas will come, he wants to meet you, and if Mas does not also bring you to meet Mother Mas, Mas will be betrothed to another woman of choice of mas family".
Wulan thought for a moment a bit longer, rather Wulan's mind was in a mess because of hearing this news from Mas Rendi. Actually he really likes Mas Rendi, but he is afraid to enter the family Mas Rendi, Wulan knows himself that he is not the girl who will be liked by Mother Mas Rendi. Besides not being highly educated, he also did not have a harmonious family.
Mas Rendi grabbed Wulan's hand gently.
"You've met your father, it's time to meet your family"
Wulan could only smile wryly, if he would be able to meet with Ibu Mas Rendi. Wulan's heart gurgled incoherently as Mas Rendi took her hand gently.
"Hhmmm.., alright Mas" said Wulan softly.

Wulan returned to her shop with a mindless mind. His face was lethargic after leaving with Mas Rendi.
"Tumben lethargic??, usually if you have met Mas Rendi you can be radiant for days, " said Mbak Nita.
"Ikh, Ma'am, "he said he avoided Mbak Nita and entered the baker's kitchen. Every time his heart is troubled Wulan prefers to make a cake to eliminate heavy thoughts.
Nita's mother approached Wulan who was a little worried about Wulan.
"Why are you??, "asked Ms. Nita.
"Mas Rendi asked Wulan to meet his parents Ma'am"
"Well, nice donk, Mas Rendi was once serious about liking you.., but why are you sad??" ask Nita to come back.
"Wulan worried Mbak, more precisely afraid of facing the family of Mas Rendi, Mbak knew that the family of Mas Rendi was a distinguished family, "jela Wulan.
"Hhmmm.., iyya Ma'am understands that you are afraid of not being accepted by Mas Rendi's family, right??"
"Yya right??, Mama just thought that, "he said lethargic.
"Eh, but not necessarily all true, other times Mas Rendi's family, do not think like what you think, have thought positively I hope Mas Rendi's family can nerima you, " said Ms. Nita.
"Hhmm.., hopefully Ma'am, "he said lethargic.
Back Wulan struggling with the cake batter, this time he will make a spartak chocolet cake, simple but quite cool, deliberately he chose a recipe that somewhat drains the concentration so that his mind is diverted.
Time passed by, without Wulan noticing that she had forgotten the promise to return to the hospital.
"Oh my God,!!! why can it be so forgetful like this," she screeches for herself.
But the feeling this time is heavier because of the thought of mas rendi earlier.
"Well tomorrow morning, Wulan will return to the hospital to meet with the obstetrician" he murmured inwardly.
That afternoon visitors were very crowded, alternating visitors to visit the Wulan store. Wulan is happy to welcome and help the buyers to choose the desired cake.
Wulan only has three store employees, to reduce the burden of his employees, he did not hesitate to go directly to take care of his store.
Mbak Nita approached Wulan berahan at the cashier's table.
"Wulan, next week we get an order for 250 boxes of steamed brownies"
"250 boxes of steamed brownies??" wulan was shocked. He did not expect anyone would want to order 250 boxes of steamed brownies, because the price is also not cheap.
"alright, Wulan telfon the ingredient store first yes let our cake ingredients stock safe".
Mbak Nita gave his thumbs up on Wulan, then returned to the focus of welcoming new customers.
🍃🍃🍃
The next night after the store closed Wulan lay down on her bed, and looked up at the sky-high room. He took a deep breath to fill the oxygen in his head.
Wulan back fantasize.
"If Mother were still around, it would definitely not be this fair to accept Mas Rendi, "he thought to himself.
"Mas Rendi" he said sadly.
And the night was getting thick, Wulan fell asleep soundly.
