One day yesterday Nanta barely saw a cell phone. The day was too cool when he was with Anjani. After sitting in her work chair, Nanta searched through her pants pocket and found a cell phone inside.
Nanta's eyes rounded perfectly when he saw dozens of missed calls from the Mother and the Big Brother. Then, there was a message sent by her brother.
Nala's Mother:
Nan. Mom misses you. Mom said you forgot to go home. In fact, Jakarta-Bogor did not spend the trip for days.
That's how the message sent by her sister, Nala. Nanta pulled up and exhaled his coarse breath. Not because I don't miss my mother. It's just, Nanta is afraid that his heartache will arise every time he stepped on the land of Bogor.
In that land are many sweet memories that Nanta went through with Rose. It's almost all places like Nanta has visited with Rose. Bogor is a city of memories.
Maybe next week Nanta should really prepare even better. Coming to Rose's wedding, means Nanta must be ready to return to Bogor.
In order not to make her Mother and Sister worried, Nanta also contacted Nala first.
Tut's. Tut's. Tut's.
"Oh my God, Nanta! Where were you yesterday? You bastard!" the voice of her brother on the other side made Nanta's ears buzz.
"Mbak Nala's ... Her voice please be conditioned," Nanta annoyed in response.
Nanta could hear his brother clucking across there. "Ck. Mom was worried. Why don't you go home. In fact, it used to be fitting in Bandung you once a week go home. Well, this is also what makes Mbak put a lot of suspicion. Did something happen?" Nala asked in a soft tone. Nanta wants to be honest with her.
Nanta smiled wryly then changed the phone call into a video call. After receiving her mother, Nanta could see Nala who was now sitting in her work chair. Guess what, Nanta is in the office.
"There is something that makes me reluctant to go home, Ma'am," said Nanta in the end chose honestly.
Nanta could see his sister's expression looked ordinary. As if he already understood. "I understand, Nan. Try the story with Mama. Who knows later Mbak can help you," said Nala is always ready which makes the feeling in Nanta's heart feel warm.
Later, Nanta's story flows from the beginning Rose breaks off the relationship and says she will marry the man of her parents' choice.
In fact, Nanta also told about Rose and Rendra who invited him to meet. In fact, the outcome of the meeting was simply to hand over the invitation letter.
"So what do you think of Mbak Nala?" nanta asked for an opinion. After telling everything to the end.
"According to Ma'am, if you can't come, there's no need to come. Mbak knows, it will definitely not be easy and maybe, it will hurt the feelings," replied Nala trying to understand the feelings of the sister.
"But, if you want to come and show that you're okay, it's best avoided. You better come with sincerity. Even though I know, it's not easy. You have to let Rose go so that her life can be happy. So is your life," continued Nala again who made Nanta nod understandingly.
"I chose to come, Ma'am. However, I will not be alone. I'll take someone." Nanta also said his goal.
"Who? Don't tell me you've got a replacement? The Rose you told me about, didn't you?" tanya Nala looked like her face was remembering.
After Nanta nodded. Nala seemed to widen her eyes. "You've been dating for years. However, you must separate because there are different paths. Whatever it is, it may have been the destiny of God," said his brother is almost the same as Anjani said yesterday. Forgetting who he was going to bring to the party.
Thankfully, inner Nanta felt relieved.
Nanta shook his head when Anjani's name crossed his head. "Yes already. I close first, Ma'am. There's still a lot of work to do. Tell mom, Saturday, this week I'll be home." Nanta left a message for the woman who gave birth to him.
"definitely. Yes already, do not forget to also contact Mom after this so as not to pout all day."
"I'll call you later. I'd better send a message to Mom instead," muttered Nanta then immediately typed in a block of numbers.
Evening day arrived. Nanta has come out of the building where the mother's laundry laborers are. Instead of going straight home, Nanta actually turned the steering wheel to Anjani's house.
It's really strange. However, isn't Nanta's goal to establish a natural close relationship? Yes, Nanta believes only that.
Before arriving, Nanta took the time to buy two servings of Madurese goat satay. Nanta clearly remembers Anjani saying that the mother really likes Madura goat satay.
Not long after, the car arrived in front of Anjani's house. Just a simple house but looks very beautiful because of the many plants that grow. The plant looks well taken care of by the owner.
Tok. tok.
Nanta knocks on Anjani's door. He waited carefully. I hope someone opens from the inside.
Chequek.
"Eh. There's Mas Nanta. Let's go in first." Anjani's mother appears and immediately smiles broadly when she sees Nanta coming.
"Good, Tan. The kids haven't come home yet, Tan?" nanta asked as he followed his mother Anjani's step inside.
"Sit down first. At least until home anyway," replied Anjani's mother was friendly.
Later, Nanta remembered the goat satay he had brought. "Aunty? This is my snack for Aunt and Anjani. Please accept yes, Tan." Nanta holds out a bag of crackles for his mother Anjani to accept.
"Well, this is goat satay, huh, Nan? Thank you very much, Auntie really likes this one food," said her mother Anjani then accepted the gift of Nanta with pleasure.
'The ghost candidate does understand the most, ' Anjani's mother murmured inwardly.
Anjani's mother came to the kitchen to put down the food that Nanta brought and made drinks.
Nanta's attention was distracted by the noise from the direction of the door that was not closed again. Intentionally opened so as not to cause bad perceptions by local residents.
"Nanta? Why come here?" The first question that came out of Anjani's lips just like that. The girl looked surprised at his unexpected arrival.
Nanta smiled awkwardly. He also did not understand why he chose to go to Anjani's house first before returning home.
"I-it's. He said you and your mother liked goat satay. Earlier on the road, I saw a satayman who was still empty of buyers. So, I chose to buy the satay" Nanta replied lying. In fact, he had deliberately bought the satay without a lonely frills.
Precisely, the stalls that Nanta bought were crowded and in line conditions.
Anjani smiled and sat down next to Nanta. Just as Anjani sat down, Nanta's voice came back.
"If you may know, where is your father, Njan?" ask Nanta who made Anjani fixated on the spot.
