The atmosphere was quiet again when Deva and Abah had gone to the back to clean the body that was sultry and dirty because of the kebon.
"A, call Father and Deva have gone home to talk inside yuk yuk." Qara moved ahead of her seat.
Hearing Qara say that, Jati also seemed to develop a smile. In his heart he immediately cheered happily. Especially in the bale is quite hot because the sunlight has begun to lean west and the light is quite disturbing when sitting on the bale which happens to be facing west.
Adem, that was the first time Jati felt when she entered the simple house.
"A Teak this cake Aa brought?" deva asks by eating a cake that Jati deliberately daggers for Qara and her family.
"Emang there is another good rich teak," Jati continued by winking one eye teasing the ten-year-old child.
"She asked. But nice A, Deva likes it, thanks yeah."
Deva is friendly when he knows and feels like a match with Teak, the boy talks more. But not infrequently if with what he does not like too much Deva will be a quiet child, and talk if asked.
"Together, but by the way I said there was a gift, what?" This time replace the teak that collect what will be given to Deva for himself, considering from the tone of the child's speech it seems like a gift that will be given quite special.
"Wait, Deva, take it in Abah's basket."
Deva went straight back to the back to pick up something that would be given to Jati. Not long after Deva left now replace Abah who entered the room where Jati and Qara are still silent to each other.
"Sorry Nak Jati, Abah is out of the mosque so it's a bit long. By the way deliberately here there is a need for what?" asked Abah with a thick Sundanese accent.
"So gini Bah, Jati here first wants to pay the debt that Jati borrowed yesterday after tomorrow from Teh Qara to buy gasoline, and the second is the goodwill that Jati wants to convey to Qara and Abah." Jati paused her words to reassure herself with what she had already decided.
"What good intentions?" asked Abah in confusion.The man's eyes were shifted to Qara and also changed to Jati.
"Jati wants to propose to Abah's daughter..."
"Jati knows, Abah and Qara are quite devout people with religion whereas Jati is a child who is far from the teachings of religion, but Jati will learn to be a good priest for your daughter." Jati again assured that she was very serious with good intentions to propose to Qara.
"It's not Nak Teak that Abah thinks, Abah believes that Nak Jati is a man who is quite responsible, Abah said, abah's religious problems convinced that Nak Jati could be a good priest for Qara as long as he wanted to try, abah's problem is afraid that the Nak Jati family does not agree especially Nak Jati knows for ourselves what our family's economy is like."
No wonder an old man will think like that, especially Jati himself also can not convince papah and mamah whether to agree with his good intentions or not. It's really still early stages. However, I don't know if the man is really very sure about the choice of his heart that immediately fell in love with Qara.
"It is precisely the intention of Jati to come here to introduce Qara to Papah and Mamah, last night Jati had conveyed Jati's good intentions to both Jati parents, and they wanted to meet first with Qara, and they wanted to meet first with Qara, that's why Jati wanted to ask Abah for permission to allow Qara to come with Jati to visit Jati's house and get acquainted with the two Jati parents."
The mood was silent again. Abah looked at Qara. "Qara how? If Abah cannot prohibit and also cannot decide unilaterally. Qara was more entitled to decide on this goodwill."
"Qara is up to Abah's word."
"If according to the Father, there is no harm in marrying first with the two parents of Nak Jati, but to get married seems to wait, until everyone knows each other. By the way how old is Nak Jati? And what's the job?" ask Abah to make sure that his son is worthy to be handed over to the man who will be responsible in the afterlife and the world.
"Well, Jati's plan is also like that, Jati wants to introduce Qara to the two old people first, and give a ring as a sign that Qara already has one. If the matter of Teak work helps the efforts of parents, sales. And the matter of the age of Jati just stepped on twenty."
Abah and Qara's gaze simultaneously stared at the handsome man who was sitting cross-legged on the plinth.
"Nak Jati already knows Qara's age?" asked Abah in a speech that was quite surprised by Jati's answer earlier.
Jati shook her head, indeed not much Jati knew about the woman who helped her yesterday the day after tomorrow, but somehow her heart was too sure to want to directly propose to the woman.
#How old is Qara?
Seriate....
