The Creak of my Friend's Bed
The Coming of Hendrik's Beloved


Hendrik is very happy because soon he will introduce his girlfriend to his parents.


"Mas, I'm very stubborn," said his girlfriend.


"Woles, baby. I'm sure my parents would agree with our relationship. So do not be made agitated like this," said Hendrik while chuckling.


Happiness is now encircling Hendrik. Because it is tripically difficult to fall in love. And once she fell in love, she was very happy.


"Mas, if your parents don't agree with our relationship how?"


Hendrik squinted his eyebrows when he heard the words of his lover," why are you so pessimistic, baby? I haven't met my parents, I've said anything bad. Speech is prayer, so it is good to say. You always advise me to always be positive thinking in everything. But why are you like this now?"


For a moment the lover was just silent, he was contemplating his words earlier. But somehow in his heart there is a feeling of anxiety and not confidence," why do I feel there are bad things that will happen in my relationship with, Mas Hendrik huh?"


Not long, until also the car driven Hendrik in a luxury home court owned by his parents.


Should take him down from the car and even without any hesitation lead him to step into the house, where in the living room is waiting for his parents.


"Sstt... Sandy, who's being held by, Brother Hendrik?"


"Wahhhhh..seru nech..pintip yuk kak!"


This time Kirana and Sandy were getting along, they peeked out from behind the wall of the living room bordering the living room.


"Ehhh. Mending we just see through the CCTV video recording, yuk gasss.."whispers Kirana invites Sandy to the lounge while carrying a laptop to check the CCTV video recording.


With a step to sneak these brothers away from behind his surveillance.


"Mah-pah, this is the girl I told you about at the time" Hendrik said.


"What's your name?" kayla asked, staring at the girl with a look of surprise.


"My name is Ayu, Auntie" he said shyly.


"How come I'm no stranger to this girl's face? it's like I've seen his face, but where?" Kayla continued to remember the figure of a face that was very similar to, Ayu.


While continuing to remember, her husband patted her on the shoulder, "why even daydream?"


"Astaghfirullah aladzim, Papah made a surprise. It's okay, I'm just no stranger to Ayu's face. Like ever seeing a figure whose face is similar to Ayu, pah," he said honestly.


"You like it, Hendrik. Anyone must be associated and in a similar way to someone," seduced Mickel.


For a moment, Mickel asked about the old man, Ayu. And Ayu said that her father had died by the time she was a child. And now his life is only with his mother.


"Well, your mom's great, huh? struggling to raise yourself without help from anyone" Kayla said.


But in his heart he was still curious about a figure similar to Ayu.


For a moment they chatted at length, and in the end Hendrik's parents agreed with the choice of his son.


"Alright, om. But I want a simple application process, om-tante. No need to be fancy," said Ayu.


Hendrik's parents also agreed Ayu's will. Now Ayu and Hendrik have calmed down because they have got the green light from Kayla and Mickel. And at that time Hendrik drove Ayu home.


Along the way, Ayu kept smiling happily. It is also felt by, Hendrik.


"Believe, right now? if my parents weren't violent, not what you think," Hendrik chuckled.


"Yes, mas. I'm the one who was worried excessively, I'm sorry mas."


********


Not long ago, until also Hendrik's car in the courtyard of Ayu's house. He was welcomed by Naya.


"Auntie." Hendrik very politely greeted Naya.


They came in and sat in the living room.


"Where did you come back so quickly?" ask Naya wonder.


"Well, Mas Hendrik just invited me to meet his parents. And they agreed if we got married. Even as soon as om and aunty will be here, mah."


"Married? how come you didn't tell Mamah if you were going to marry her, Son Hendrik? isn't it too rushed? you knew him not too long ago, too," Naya was stunned when she heard the words marriage, because Ayu told her nothing about it at all.


Hendrik was also surprised, "loh, did Ayu not tell Auntie? why aren't you being honest together, mamah you Ayu? I think you've told me even a story about today we'll meet my parents. Auntie, even though I asked Ayu to tell everything to, Auntie. I think Auntie knew it from the beginning" said Hendrik rather manyun.


"I'm sorry, I'm mas."


Ayu could only say a word, bowing. Until Naya mediates, "this is the bad habit of Ayu, Hendrik. Who always solves problems on their own without telling stories, Auntie. Actually you think mamah no know, Ayu? from your attitude that likes to decide anything on your own, making Mamah often feel if this Mom is of no use at all by you!"


For some reason, Naya was very upset by Ayu's actions. Ayu can only apologize," mah, I'm sorry yes. Please don't be angry, because I'm so panicked that I didn't get to tell you, mama."


"Panik, that's not a good reason Ayu. You are born from a banana tree, and can grow up on your own, so you want to be like this. Over and over again, you do this. If only once twice you can tolerate it!"


Naya's anger had peaked, so he did not realize passed away from the presence of Ayu and Hendrik.


"Mas, I'm sorry about my mother's attitude?"


"Your mother is innocent, if I were in her position I would do the same. I'm actually disappointed in you, too, Ayu. Because of your actions, but yes you have not repeated again."


"I am a man, I must have told my parents. What else is this important, Ayu."


"You must not take it too lightly, Mother. Pity him if you always make your own decisions without saying anything to your mother."


"What else has your mother been fighting alone in raising you. Yes I'm home, quickly you apologize to him right now! tell your mom I'm going home."
