SERUNI
Chapter 38 Intrigued by Tantri
Sayaka just nodded her head to hear Bu Sajad's request. Then he continued his steps back into the house. Sayaka headed straight for the living room where Seruni's father was. However, once he reached the doorway between the living room and the kitchen, he was forced to stop his steps. The conversation that occurred between Mr. Sajad and Subroto was still very serious.
"That's the problem I already know Mr. Sajad. That is why, even though Seruni is close to Sayaka. I kept close to Shakala. Besides because I have known his father for a long time, also because I feel the need to find a confidant who will be able to manage our family business. So, even if Sayaka can't, but indeed she has a soul mate Seruni, at least she should be airy accepting Shakala close to us."
Subroto's long speech just now, made Pak Sajad think more, however, it is not easy for Sayaka to enter the Seruni family. Although Subroto seems like a very wise person, in the end the problem of social and educational gaps that exist will certainly be a stumbling block in their relationship.
Not wanting to let the heavy chatter last long, Sayaka decided to show up. He did not want to steal any longer hear something that would even burden his own mind.
"Sorry, Sir. This is the cat I cleaned. Because the mother is not looking, I just bring it here," said Sayaka politely appeared during a pause while putting a cardboard box containing cats on the floor.
"Later let me take it to Seruni's official house, Ka. Thank you," Subroto chimed in while throwing a warm smile at the end of his sentence.
Not long ago I saw the Adhan of Isya was heard. The three men went straight to the musholla again. Stay Bu Sajad who contacted Seruni through his mobile phone to come to dinner all at his home. As someone who loved Sayaka very much, of course Bu Sajad was initially happy to know Seruni put his heart on his nephew. But after hearing the talk of Seruni's father and her husband, that happiness now turned into a definite worry.
Seruni came after she performed the isya prayer. The woman came by using her motor matic. The arrival of the Seruni along with Subroto, Pak Sajad and Sayaka who compact go hand in hand out of the musholla. They all headed straight for the dining room.
"Please, Sir. Please forgive. Just a simple dish from the garden itself." Ms. Sajad laid the yellow shady eggs on the dining table.
"There's no simple food, ma'am. All foods are special when we are healthy. I don't like food. Vegetable cassava boiled, given a little onion chili, I can already eat." Subroto is so appreciative of the host who has visited him. Without hesitation, he took out little by little all the dishes served.
"Ser, you eat a lot too." Bu Sajad added a piece of rice on top of an empty Seruni plate.
"I can take it myself, Mrs Sajad. So troublesome like this," said Seruni. Feeling bad because they are treated too well.
Sayaka looks to steal a glance towards Seruni. Sometimes he also noticed Subroto. In Sayaka's mind right now, there was clearly also concern. Seeing Mr. Sajad and Bu Sajad who seemed to put a sense of reluctance on his guests, obviously the two people who had been considered like his own parents were sure to keep a judgment that was more or less predictable by Sayaka.
After dinner, Seruni and Subroto immediately resigned. Due to Subroto's health condition that has just recovered, it certainly requires adequate rest. Plus, they had just traveled a long way.
"Good, Sir. Tomorrow I will pick up my father. Usually I leave at six after giving breakfast to Siti, Sapto and friends."
Subroto smiled at Sayaka's reply. The man then climbed on a motorbike that was ready to be driven by Seruni while lifting a cardboard box containing cat given by Sayaka earlier.

After Seruni's return, as previously said, Bu Sajad invited Sayaka to speak in their living room. Mr. Sajad also joined together there. Knowing exactly what to talk about, the man also intends to give his opinion to Sayaka.
"Ka, are you sure you want to bring your relationship with Seruni to the marriage stage?" ask Bu Sajad. Start the conversation immediately.
Sayaka did not answer. He deliberately thought for a moment to look for the most appropriate answer to put forward.
"I'm serious Ua. But maybe not anytime soon. Anyway, I have to be strong first. What I have now, of course, is still not how much. I do not want to invite Seruni to live a difficult life. Although it is not possible to provide sustainability or luxury as now owned by Seruni, at least the difference in life later not too far."
Sayaka's answer touched Mr. Sajad. First and only this time his nephew fell in love. It felt too cruel if he had to break it blatantly. Apparently, he had to use other means to make Sayaka part with Seruni.
"But, Ka. His father Seruni said earlier, want a daughter-in-law who can continue his business. Seruni was the only child, of course his father hoped to get the best. It's not that this Ua wants to discourage you, Ka. I am so proud of you who always work hard. But for Ua, making Seruni your wife is not easy. You're a handsome man, Ka. If the size is here, what you have is enough. Ua think Shanum is more suitable for you. She is beautiful, kind and also deft" said Bu Sajad. The woman still seems to want to continue speaking. However, the husband sends a sentence in the form of a head so that the wife does not say any more words.
Sayaka chose not to override Bu Sajad's advice. What his mother's younger brother said was not entirely wrong. But also not allowed. A sense of love cannot choose on whom it is dropped. As is the case with Sayaka who never thought her love would be anchored to the figure of Seruni.
"Yes, you rest first. Tomorrow after the field and take care of your cattle. Take your Ua'mu to the next village. There's a parcel that needs to be delivered there. Submissions from the district to be delivered to the mothers."
The words of Mr. Sajad just now, made Ms. Sajad frown his forehead a sign of astonishment. During the day, there was no talk of the parcel that her husband meant. Until Sayaka went into her room, the woman still showed her feelings to her husband.
"Here you go, I'll explain." Mr. Sajad stood up while patting Ms. Sajad's arm.
