Tama And Ratna
26. Invitation

That night when Ratna was busy with her phone unwind after finishing her work, a message came in from her younger sister. Sasa sent a wedding invitation with caption “Om also tell ya Mbak.”

Ratna was actually a bit anxious to hear Sasa's call to her sister-in-law. When he called Ratna with a call “Mbak” he instead called Ratna's husband with a call “Om” is definitely not right, but want to be corrected later back again. After all Tama did not protest so Ratna finally gave up and let her sister call Tama with that title.

Ratna switched to another chat room and immediately sent an invitation from Sasa to Tama. Ratna then called Tama after she finished sending it.

“Mas..., so it can come with right?” ask Ratna.

“Not know Deck, it's the 23rd huh? Maybe it was directly from Semarang. You leave first, papa, right?” ask Tama.

“Mas want to Semarang what event is Mas?” ask Tama.

“By Sir Somat, there is an event there. Actually only 1 day but if calculated the same day back and forth will be 3 days. Most later take additional leave 3 days.”

“Oiya sorry I forgot. Then I leave first, huh? But Mas can still nganter to the airport right?” ask Ratna.

“You'll be leaving when?” ask Tama back.

“Still confused. If I take it from the 21st until the day of his leave Mas exhausted yes ngabisin ration of a year off. Then later we can not go home,” said Ratna.

“Mas departs on 20 malem. If you want we can go together to the airport. Later Mas try to find the closest flight schedule with the schedule Mas, how?”

“Bby Mas? We will be leaving from the office.”

“By Deck, why not anyway. The destination is the same, the time is the same.”

“Yaudah deh, meaning I will leave on the 20th if so. I ajuin cut the date 21 to the 25th yes Means Mas?”

“Iya. Then you will not have to shop most of the time. The house wants to be left,” said Tama reminded.

“I plan not to shop. If I eat lunch in the cafeteria, I also have lunch more often in the hospital. Most bread is the same milk for the morning, continue to buy vegetables later that night is what once ate out.”

“Yaudah is sip.”

“Eh Mas I almost forgot. Create a card How sasa?”

“Sasa so directly move Jambi is not? If yes the gift directly send to Jambi aja.”

“He wants to buy a washing machine he said.”

“Ah easy business if only washing machine anyway. As long as he does not ask to be bought by aja motor,” said Tama while laughing.

“Ya if the motor is asking Gandhi people to buy a motor for dowry.”

“Wohoo cool Gandhi..,” praise Tama.

“Ngak ah cooler Mas Tama.”

“Yes because you like me the same I am not the same Gandhi,” Tama said in a flat tone.

“Yaudah Mas, Ratna want guidance for a while to go home. Would you like to buy food?”

“Iya Deck, Mas Laper. Buy Rich delicious meatballs,” says Tama.

“Ok later I buy meatballs in the usual place.”

“Yoit, thank you dear.”

“Sama-sama Mas.”

Ratna kept her phone back and walked into the workspace of Ratna's thesis supervisor. Some time he was there and then immediately went home after buying 2 packs of meatballs at the nearby solvent.

...***...

On the appointed day, Tama was forced to leave because Tama did not manage to book a flight for Ratna on the same day as her departure. As a result, Ratna left alone to the airport the next morning. Tama said do not carry more than 1 suitcase and 1 backpack. He doesn't want Ratna to fuss. But in any case Ratna still bothered. He carried 1 large suitcase containing 2 Tama formal clothing stels including 1 piece of black suit, and a pair of PDH shoes. As for Ratna, she packed one wedges, 3 party clothes, and some other items she needed.

“Dek Ratna where are you going to tumben her clothes so?” ma'am Rosa said hello to Ratna as she locked the door.

“I want to go home to Java Bu, there is a family event there.”

“Self-departure?”

“Iya Bu, lha Mas Aji has left first because accompanied by Mr. Somat first to Semarang only later.”

“Dek Ratna, I just this first time see the deck Ratna appearance like this. It's so beautiful,” said Ms. Rosa.

“Still Mom…. Sorry I have to leave soon Mom, come...,” said Ratna.

“Ya please. Be careful on the road yes, greetings to the family there.”

Ratna was ushered in by a Tama man. Yudha. He is a new officer and is immediately placed in his division Tama at once directly sticky same Tama. Yudha used Mr. Somat's car to drive Ratna because during the departure of Mr. Somat, he asked Yudha to take care of him. It was also he who finally drove Mr. Somat and Tama to the airport.

"I'm sorry Mas Yudha went back and forth" Ratna said.

"No papa Ms Ratna, no need to hesitate," Yudha replied politely.

"That's not the gasoline? Stop by the gas station first" Ratna said, trying to offer something.

"Oh, Mom is safe. Mr. Aji yesterday gave me gas money. Thank you, don't bother. Mr. Aji said I can't take anything from Ms. Ratna, later I can be reported to superiors he said," Yudha said.

Ratna laughed, hearing Tama's way of preventing Ratna out money was very funny. I feel sorry for Yudha until she is threatened. What became Yudha was clear yes, he was still a new child yet to know anything. Anyway later if Ratna has met with Tama he will be angry with Tama, it's good to have a position now as if threatened by men.

Half way through, Ratna felt sleepy. Only then would he close his eyes, his phone ringing and Ratna instantly regained her energy. He heard the heavy voice of Pratama Aji who was so calm and gentle as to say good morning.

"Dec is on his way, right?"

"It's already halfway through."

"Where's judha?"

Ratna then activated the call loudspeaker and then brought the phone closer to Yudha's ear who was focusing on driving.

"Yudh..," call Tama.

"Ready. Mr."

"Mother's tally to the airport safely huh, don't speed. Then please help bring the suitcase until the boarding pass, huh?" ask Tama.

"Ready Sir. Do it" replied Yudha and refocused on the streets.

"Ish even though I brought it myself you know, bothered to pity Yudha Mas you all together," protested Ratna.

"No papa Mommy, the important thing is you are not escorted using a patrol car right? Yudha is not wearing a uniform, is she? This is me asking for help not in the name of AKP Aji. In my own name Pratama, your husband. Instead of you taking a taxi, Mas don't calm down here."

"Yes, yes, thank you."

"The kiss used to be dong" said Tama.

"No, no shame" said Ratna.

"Come on Bun, you kangen's father."

"The kiss will happen when you meet. Not now."

"Ah later if it's at the house of many people you will not want the same skinship Mas. Now just let's go ahead, wait again Mas want to work nih need charging."

Ratna surrender. He hangs up the phone and bombs "kiss" and "love" emoticons into his chat room and Tama replies with the same thing. Sticker "Hug" he sent to Ratna. Mood Ratna improved, she now grabbed her earphones and started to turn on the music. He tuned songs that Tama had covered with his guitar as well as some songs that they liked to sing together. One of them is the song "Too Dear" Denda. The song Tama said was the original soundtrack to their love story.
