The Creak of my Friend's Bed
Happy News

Arriving at the rented house, Oddy lowered his body. He felt very tired, not only physically tired but also tired of the mind.

"Oh my God, sometimes I feel like life is too hard. I had to endure all this alone without any brothers or parents. Dad's gone, mom's in a mental institution."

"I can run away from this problem by not caring about the condition of the mother. But that's not my nature, because no matter how bad she is my mother. Mother who has given me the breath of life."

"Even though I feel the burden of my life is so heavy as this, but I can still be thankful that God still gives me such wonderful help."

"God sent Om Mickel and Aunt Kayla to always help me and always be by my side. Thank you God."

Oddy is a young man but his mind is mature and he doesn't think of himself. He only thought about his mother's current condition. He also did not complain or blame his mother for what was happening to him at this time.

Oddy is very sure if what is happening to him is just a moment. One day he will live a happy life and will also see his mother recover.

"Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim, I believe I am able to undergo all these trials from You, O God. Because I believe You will not test you beyond my means."

Kayla at home also thought of Oddy, she really felt compassion for him. Until he continued to linger in the daydreams about Oddy.

"Darling, what the hell is going on?" reprimand Mickel wonder.

"Thinking of Oddy, brother. Pity also yes, must experience conditions like this. Hopefully Mba Usna will recover soon and they can live happily, said Kayla.

Mickel was surprised by his wife's attitude, even though Usna had harmed Kayla. But Kayla still prayed for Usna to recover.

"Darling, I'm proud to have a wife who is as social as you. And I'm sorry yes, all the problems that happened because of me," said Mickel bowed lethargic.

Kayla becomes astonished why Mickel suddenly apologizes to her, "why did you suddenly apologize?"

Mickel said that if he did not help Usna and Oddy, there would certainly be no strange problem where Usna was presumptuous to use large amounts of Kayla's money.

Kayla does not blame Mickel at all. Because everything that happened was beyond their thinking. All have been defined by the Power.

"Sister, there's no need to apologize to me because Brother Mimie wasn't wrong at all. God has led us to help Oddy and Usna. Everything that happens in this life has been outlined by God, Brother. There is no need to feel guilty like that. I have also been sincere with the money used by Usna. Precisely now I even feel pity because it turns out Usna has a history of mental illness like that," said Kayla.

While they were busy chatting at length, the door of the room was knocked by someone.

Tok tok tok tok tok tok tok

"Well, here I want to have an important conversation with you both."

It turns out that behind the door is Kirana who wants to talk to Mickel and Kayla.

"What's up, son?" kayla asked as she saw Kirana standing in the doorway of her room.

"It's best to go in if it's important" Mickel suggested.

"Mah-pah, Derry wants to marry me. How do papah and mamah think?" kirana asked in embarrassment.

"Alhamdulillah," simultaneously Mickel and Kayla said that Kirana gasped in shock because the two were so loud in speaking.

"Astaghfirullah aladzim, pah. Ordinary times, the response did not need to be so enthusiastic like that," Kirana protested as she rubbed her chest in shock.

Kayla and Mickel chuckled, they did not realize that their thanksgiving was so loud.

"Son, we're very happy to hear this news. Because this is what we've been waiting for a long time. How happy it would be if you were getting married soon" Kayla chuckled.

"Indeed if a soul mate like this well, can be compact once simultaneously said. Do you agree that we are getting married soon? I think Mamah or Papah will say that this is too soon for us" Kirana said.

"No son, you've been talking about yourself all this time without you knowing. Isn't it mah? secretly we will often share and sometimes your mother would like to ask you about this, but Papah forbids it" said Mickel.

Kirana told me at length that in this week the two parents Derry will come to clarify about the love relationship of Kirana and Derry. Even Kirana gave a leak to her parents, if the family Derry asked dakdm for two more months of marriage.

"We are always ready Kirana, if you get married today we are ready, too" Mickel said with great enthusiasm.

Kirana felt relieved after telling everything to her parents.

"Kirana, are you really ready to be a wife?" ask Mickel.

"Hehehe... isn't it that all women will eventually get married? how did Papah say that?" kirana asked in surprise.

"Hehehehe.. Papah's worried about Derry. You are barbarians, later if you are married if there is a problem do not be rude to Derry," joked Mickel while raising his eyebrows.

Kayla snorted annoyedly at the joke that Mickel said, "Kirana, don't you listen to what your papah just said. Papah likes it that way! not only to you, but also to your mother."

Kirana smiled while embracing Kayla, "you don't have to worry. I've understood the nature of papah that sometimes tacky parno really if you're talking seriously suddenly talking nice."

Mickel glanced cynically at Kirana, "hestah. Papah thinks you're gonna defend papah."

For a moment they chatted at length, until Kayla had unwittingly forgotten her daydream about the fate of Oddy and Usna. Kayla is currently happy because Kiena will soon be hosted by Derry.

"God, God, when there is a problem, you also give a happy news. My second son will be married soon. Now lives the youngest who soon graduated from college and will replace Kak Mickel in his company. May all business be carried out" said Kayla in her heart.

*******

A few days later....

Derry and his parents come to Kirana's house, they deliberately do not invite anyone. Because Derry and Kirana have agreed if not bada procession proposal or fiancee. They want to have a wedding soon.

The conversation is so serious and focused, even Mickel can also focus. He wasn't kidding like he used to when he was talking to Kayla or her kids.
