The Five Step affair
At last...
Time passed, Hendrik was able to move on from Nurul. Hendrik no longer thinks about Nurul. While Judika actually likes Nurul but she is less brave to express it. Especially about Mother Sumi who will not approve if Nurul married his own neighbor so that makes the courage of Judika ciut.
But in contrast to Judika and Hendrik, Bagus dared to approach Nurul blatantly. In accordance with his words to Nurul a few days ago that he wanted to pick up Nurul at his house directly not on the side of the road as usual.
Tonight Nurul was texting Bagus, Nurul asked if Bagus was sure tomorrow he would pick her up at home and even ask her permission directly.
"Beb, really, you're going to pick me up at home tomorrow? Is it not in a normal place?" nurul asked Bagus through his message.
Nice and Nurul was already a lover couple of days ago. Though at that time Nurul had just broken up with Hendrik not long ago, but Nurul was so sure to accept Bagus because he felt that Bagus was serious with him. Because it is also only Good who dare to pick him up directly at home and will ask permission directly to his Mother even though Bagus knows the news circulating that Sumi's mother will not approve Nurul married to her own neighbors.
Not long after, the message sent by Nurul got a reply from Bagus.
"Yes, really, when I lie. I said I'd face your mother no matter the risk. Because if I want to be with his son yes I have to be with his mother." replied Good through a message.
When Nurul opened and read the message, he was immediately moved and teary because he felt that Bagus was so responsible. And that made Nurul more convinced to Bagus.
"Thank you Beb ❤." wrote Nurul accompanied by a heart emoticon.
...----------------...
The next day, Nurul woke up feeling afraid and worried if Good came later her mother would refuse and oppose Good who had ventured to ask permission. Until breakfast, Nurul still looks restless.
"You why Nurul? Kog is that nervous? Don't like the side dishes?" mother Sumi asked when she noticed Nurul who was not as excited as usual.
"Ehm.. Gak kog Bu." replied Nurul then refocused with his food so that his mother was not increasingly suspicious even though her mind was not focused on the food she was enjoying.
Finally Sumi's mother was silent even though there were actually many questions in her mind.
Not how long was the sound of the motor stopping in front of Mother Sumi's house. Although Rumah Bagus and Nurul close but Bagus pick up Nurul by motorbike because they will go to school together.
"Who is that? Kog seems to stop in front of the house." asked Sumi's mother as she stood up and walked to the front of the house to see who had just come.
Nurul also heard the sound of the motorbike and he was sure that it was a good one that would pick him up for school. Nurul becomes increasingly agitated because he does not know what will happen. He just stayed at the dinner table.
As soon as she got in front of the house, Sumi's mother saw Bagus who had just got off his bike. Sumi's mother obviously knew Bagus because he was the son of his own neighbors and Bagus was not uncommon also buy at the shop Ibu Sumi.
"Good, it's not ripe yet. Going home from school, yes." said Sumi's mother to Bagus when she saw Bagus who wanted to approach her.
It is usually good to buy food sold at the shop of Ibu Sumi and that morning Sumi of course thought that Nice would buy as well. Because it is almost never good to go to his house for any other purpose than to buy food.
Sumi's mother was silent for a while, she did not immediately answer what was the purpose of Good coming to her house. Because Sumi's mother is still not convinced that there is a man who dared to openly ask her permission to pick up Nurul even though almost everyone knows that Sumi's mother does not want if Nurul married her own neighbor.
Simultaneously Nurul came out of the house and stood beside her Mother who was still in shock with the arrival of Bagus.
"Yes Bu, Nice to invite Nurul to school, our school is the same direction" said Nurul trying to explain the intention of the arrival of Bagus that morning to their home.
Sumi's mother seemed to be sighing long. He confused himself with what answer would be given to Bagus. If Ibu Sumi refused Good and did not give permission, Ibu Sumi would be stamped as a bad parent because then Good came well and of course later would be a rumor for other neighbors. But if Ibu Sumi allows, of course in the future they will have a more serious relationship and surely eventually they will get married and Nurul will definitely marry his own neighbors.
"Mom, Good has come well he also talked well to pick up Nurul school." whispered Nurul while whining and holding his mother's hand.
Sumi's mother returned unmoved, she again confused with her own thoughts. And it looks like Sumi's mother has let out a long sigh.
"Is it time to give Nurul freedom of choice? It is impossible that he will obey my words forever. Yes uda is allowed, rather than later they even meet outside without my knowledge." inward Mother Sumi.
Even though it is true what Mother Sumi thinks, Nurul always met with men on the side of the road if you want to take Nurul to school.
It was good to remain standing in place without feeling fear and retreat though. Because he was sure of his arrival with good intentions so Bagus was sure that Sumi's mother would also be kind to him.
"Yes I've allowed it." replied Sumi's mother at last.
Of course that answer made Nurul and Bagus happy. Finally, Ibu Sumi's iceberg can be torn down with the firmness that Good has.
The two also say goodbye to Mother Sumi to go to school together. And of course because it was morning many of the neighbors around who had started to move, many of them were surprised to see Bagus pick up Nurul at his home. Because they knew that Sumi's mother would most likely not allow her neighbor's children to approach Nurul but what they saw this morning was quite shocking to them.
"Lho Sumi's mother isn't that good? Can Kog pick Nurul up at home?" ask one of their neighbors.
"Aren't they afraid they'll become addicted to marriage?" ask again.
"I don't think they married, their religion was different. Mostly enough so that Nurul does not ride the angkot." replied Sumi's mother who was actually embarrassed because she was caught by her close neighbors.
