Faris bowed his head, occasionally looking at Slamet who was smoking his cigarette.
Faris waited for Slamet to say something but Slamet remained silent until Faris decided to speak first.
"About Mbak Vanes-"
"You like it?" cut Slamet.
Faris was of course surprised because her father immediately asked her like that without further ado.
"It's not wrong to like someone because feelings can't be forced, the problem is that he's your brother-in-law."
Faris bowed her head again, "Faris knows sir, Faris is wrong."
Slamet got up from his seat and sat down next to Faris, "If you do everything right it'll end well so do it the way it goes, you can like him but don't expect to have him because he already belongs to someone else."
"But sir, Rizal-mas"
"I know." Again Faris' words were cut by Slamet, "I know what happened between them but don't go inside and add fire. Let them finish their business first." advises Slamet.
At this time Faris was a little surprised because not only his mother who knew the problems of Vanes and Mas Rizal but also his father.
How can everyone know this when before they also never met other than at the wedding venue at that time Inner Faris.
Now Faris chose silence, from the beginning it was clear his parents would not approve of his relationship with Vanes.
Vanes was welcomed and Faris was grateful.
"It turns out Neng Vanes pinter cook too huh?" praise Asih when you see Vanes know the kind of kitchen spices and their uses.
"Not yet sintered ma'am, still learning."
"Before marriage can't cook?" guess Asih.
Vanes nodded and smiled.
"Well, Mom used to be that way too but Mom was lucky because she had a good mother-in-law to teach cooking macem macem."
Vanes fell silent, thinking of his misfortune to have a mother-in-law who always asks for grandchildren. Every come always give herbal medicine and medicine as if Vanes was barren can not get pregnant even though the cause of Vanes did not go pregnant because Rizal had not touched it.
Asih stared at the sad face of Vanes, as if to know what was thought by Vanes, Asih patted Vanes on the shoulder, "Take off whatever makes you sad, do not force it if it is not possible." asih.
Vanes looked at Asih surprised, "Mom knows something?"
Asih smiled, "Faris didn't tell you anything about what happened to you, just a mother's feelings. Sorry if I guessed wrong."
Vanes shook his head, honestly He was curious about where Mother Asih knew about the problem, if only guessing couldn't possibly be a coincidence like this right?
Kale saute and fried tempeh are ripe and ready to be served.
Vanes arranged all the food at the table.
"I'm sorry, Vanes is just a simple side dish" Asih said.
Vanes smiled, "I also often cook like this kok Bu."
"Yes, I want to call Mr. Faris first" said Asih, who was immediately embraced by Vanes.
Before long, Faris and Slamet joined the dining table. They had lunch together while joking around, the warmth felt once in the Faris family.
Every now and then Vanes glanced at Faris, now he knew why Faris could be a good and loving man because Faris was born from a harmonious and loving family that made Faris grow up that way.
Vanes remembered that when his mother was alive, his family was harmonious like this but after his mother died, his father was often cold and rarely paid attention to him.
After lunch, Faris invited Vanes to walk to the fields to see the vegetable crops planted by Slamet and fish ponds owned by Slamet.
"The fish pond in the middle of the gini field is not afraid of being stolen by people?" ask Vanes.
Faris smiled, "I used to ask the same father but you said it's okay if it was stolen, itung itung for charity finger."
Vanes smiled, "Your family is all good."
"Did Budhe Tantri know the behavior of Rizal Mbak?" ask Faris to arrive.
"What a weirdo? Where do you know the same father?"
Vanes finally remembered the conversation he had with Faris' mother in the kitchen, Faris' mother seemed to know what happened between Vanes and Rizal.
"Is it possible that Mama knew Rizal's behavior but pura didn't know?" guess Vanes.
"I don't know, either, but I'm dizzy" complained Faris.
"I thought you were the story."
"At first want to tell a story, but Mom and Dad already know so yes."
"Surely they're disappointed with you for taking me home." guessed Vanes.
"It has not been discussed later even make sad" said Faris.
Vanes bowed silently, feeling he had brought Faris into his trouble.
"Woyyy's Ris!" the voice of a man calling for Faris made Vanes and Faris stare at the man at the same time.
"Eh Sakti, how are you?" Faris seemed to be greeting the young man who was the same age as Faris.
"Crazy, only 2 weeks to the city home have brought a girl." chirped Sakti.
Faris just smiled, though,
"Eh yes at my university again there are lecturer vacancies, the salary is quite a hefty 5 million. Still interested in being a lecturer?" tawar Sakti's.
Faris shook his head, he was planning to apply for a job as a lecturer at a university not far from his home but because he was tempted by Rizal's offer which was more promising to bury his dream to become a lecturer.
"Udah is not interested." replied Faris cengegesan.
"The study in the city is bigger so it is not interested." cibir Sakti.
Faris did not answer just smiling.
Faris and Vanes return home as the day begins to fall.
"You're coming home tonight?" ask Asih.
Faris nodded, though,
"Sorry yes Neng, not ngebolehin nginep but in this place the rules for guests to stay are a little strict."
Vanes smiled, "I understand Mom, I'm the one who apologized for the trouble here."
Asih shook her head, "No trouble neng, I'm happy."
Faris and Vanes finally say goodbye, kissing Asih's hand and Slamet alternately after which the two enter the car.
Faris immediately drove his car out of his yard.
"How is this sir?" groaning.
Slamet let out a long sigh, "We don't know God's plan behind all this. So let them follow the course of their destiny, ma'am."
"Mother is just afraid that Sister Tantri knows Faris's real deal when Rizal is at fault." worried Asih.
"Everything will open in time, ma'am, Rizal's mistake will definitely be exposed."
He nodded but he was still worried. A few months ago while attending the wedding of Rizal and Vanes, Asih who wanted to go to the toilet accidentally saw Rizal kissing a girl even though the reception was taking place.
While Slamet himself saw Rizal not enter his bridal room but to the next room with another woman.
Asih and Slamet know everything but all this time they just kept quiet because they realized it was none of their business but now, Faris their only son instead entered into the relationship of Rizal and Vanes.
Asih and Slamet can only pray that his son is okay, that is all Asih and Slamet can do.
Seriate....
