The Love Story of the Old Virgin
#70 Balloon Candidates
Rio's work is going well. For a while he was still supervising the construction of a factory that had not been completed 100%. Sissy's brownie efforts are growing. He started opening booths in the hospital area and the station. The staff at home has grown to 5 people. For production purposes, Sissy also rented a house next door that happened to be empty which was used as a kitchen as well as mess employees. Brownis with the Twin K brand is quite famous in the city. Sissy was very grateful for the abundant windfall for her small family. Not a few who want to invite for cooperation to open a branch in another city. But Sissy doesn't want to do it yet.
"Bun, Aca ompol." Ical to him.
"Lohs.. Why wet the bed, baby?" Sissy approached the crying Aca.
"Aca dream agi belenang Bun." replied Aca slowly.
"Yes, no, dear. Let's take a shower. Ical too." Sissy bathed Aca and Ical.
"Today we go to Mbah's house. Aunt Widi wants a proposal" Sissy said as she dressed them.
"What's that saying?" ask Aca.
"The proposal means Aunt Widi wants to get married" replied Sissy.
"Married what is it?" this time Ical asked.
"Laki - men and women who have grown up living in a house like Dad with Bubun." Sissy replied with a slight hesitation.
"Ooh.." they answered compactly.
"Thank God they don't look like anything. Can't finish till tonight." Inner Sissy.
Sissy immediately prepared and before long Rio came.
"I'm taking a shower on the deck. I'm afraid it's too late." Rio went straight to the bathroom.
"Why did the moringa come home anyway? It should be 2 o'clock already home." grumbled Sissy while preparing clothes for Rio.
"So there was a small incident at the site of the construction of the factory" Rio replied from inside the bathroom.
"Ooh." replied Sissy briefly then walked out of the room.
They have arrived at Mother's house. The house still looks quiet, only the carpet that has been held in the living room prepares to welcome guests. Sissy went in and brought the twins into the house.
"Assalamualaik." Sissy said hello.
"Waalaikumsalam." replied Dania.
"Loh Ni's. When did you come?" sissy asked as she kissed the left and right cheeks of her sister-in-law.
"So mornin' Ma'am. Make a surprise." Dania.
"Bring the brownie Ma'am?" Dania took over the large pouch that Sissy had brought.
"Bring dong. Make a treat tonight." Sissy took out her bag.
"I want to take it to Jogja." Dania immediately put aside some brownie boxes.
"When are you coming home?" Sissy took back the box that Dania had set aside.
"Lusa lah Mbak. Wicked when I can't ask for the brownie?" Dania protest.
"Can't not. Later if you want to go home you stop by the house. Take it up to you" Sissy said as she began cutting the brownies.
"Okeh is ready my mother." Dania hugged Sissy and headed straight to Widi's room.
"Dek, a shower" said Dania, hitting Widi's shoulder slowly.
"Bentar Ma'am. Wait for the mask to dry." replied Widi.

Ba'da Isya troupe prospective husband Widi trade to home. Rio as his guardian Widi also welcomes guests with Mother. They deliberately held this event only limited to the nuclear family. Sissy was busy in the kitchen helping to prepare food and drinks. At first glance he saw a familiar figure but the figure turned his back.
Sissy was about to say hello but Ranti sounded out calling her.
"Sir, 15 guests." Sissy also undoes his intention to approach the figure.
"Yes Ran. We'll get the drink." Sissy and Ranti were busy preparing sweet tea for the guests.
"You're the one who brought Ran forward" said Sissy.
After all drinks and snacks were served, Sissy and Ranti joined the sit to meet the besan candidates.
Sissy stared one by one of Widi's prospective husband's entourage, until finally her eyes collided with a figure she was very familiar with, Mr. Erick.
"Sir Erick?" mumbling Sissy.
Erick just nodded at Sissy.
"Do you know that guy?" Ranti is curious about Sissy who looks at each other with the man.
"Yes. It used to be a partner in Malang." replied Sissy immediately shifted his eyes.
Without Sissy realizing Rio was looking at her and was a little curious about Sissy's misbehavior looking at one of her uncles Ardi, Widi's future husband.
Sissy chooses to go back inside and accompany the twins. She felt confused and misbehaved to face Erick and her husband.
"Daddy, are you here?" rio asked into the room.
"Well, is the show over?" Sissy was astonished to see her husband was already behind her.
"Again to eat - eat." Rio replied while laying down his body on the bed.
"Kok Mas here? Not eating?" ask Sissy.
"Later on. I miss my wife and children." Rio's laying his head on Sissy's lap.
"Mas nih's. More guests too." said Sissy as she stroked Rio's hair.
"Sir, I saw you were wrong. Who is Mr Erick?" rio asked without further ado.
"Hmmm.. Don't be mad if I tell a story." Sissy asked doubtfully.
"Yes a story. Later it will be found that Mas must be angry or not." Rio replied while closing his eyes.
"So Erick's the supplier at the restaurant where I worked, the gending restaurant." Sissy said slowly.
"Supplier only, right? How did you misbehave that?" Rio asked again.
Sissy told me everything that had happened between them. Even their closeness as friends confided when Rio coma was told. Sissy continued to rub Rio's hair and noticed him. Rio remained calm hearing the story.
"I'm sorry, Mas. I just need a friend to confide. But I never opened my heart to him" Sissy said.
"Hhhh." Rio just cleared his throat.
"Mas don't be angry. Even when Mas Aware from the coma, the number I blocked. I don't want to betray our household." Sissy kissed her husband's forehead.
Rio instantly pulled the nape of Sissy and kissed her lips gently.
"Mas is sad but Mas can't be angry. Maybe your condition also needs a friend to tell a story and he is present in your life. I'm sorry I left you for months." Rio already sat down and cupped his wife's cheek.
"I'm the one who's sorry." Sissy hugged Rio and started crying.
"Don't cry. I will see the twins. We get rid of that problem and we move on with our lives." Rio stroked his wife's hair gently.
"Thank You." Sissy buried her face in her husband's chest.
"Let's eat first." Rio wiped away the tears on Sissy's face and invited her out of the room.
Sissy followed her husband to take a meal and brought him back to the room. He chose to eat in the room while waiting for the twins who were still sleeping.
Rio again accompanied the group of candidates besan.
"Sir Erick, how are you?" sapa Rio sat next to Erick who was enjoying the pudding.
"Thank you be good sir." Erick just smiled kindly at Rio.
"I heard you know my wife?" ask Rio.
"Betul Sir. I used to be a supplier at the gending restaurant where Bu Sissy worked." replied Erick.
"Have you known dong for a long time?" ask Rio again.
"Yes, it's been a long time. About 5 years. I am surprised to see you here again. Turns out we're gonna be messy" Erick said.
"It turns out the world is so narrow ya." chirped Rio.
"The world is so narrow. Not being a wife even become besan." said Erick in his heart.
It seems that the story will soon have to end.
