The Noodle In Love
26. To Nagoya

Still like a new dream with a sense of body soul drifting, because without his legal sign, Rushqi said he wanted to marry me suddenly. Still amazed in disbelief, although I also refuse to rush, it seems shame if Rushqi wants me as a wife, as well as accompany her in life.

Awkwardly, I headed for the kitchen and approached the dining room. There is a hajj and a hajj sir who sat in his place back then. Distance one seat to my right facing each other.

Rushqi remained in place with her facing right at me. Positions that do not change, and this is how it is everyday.

"Good morning, sir, ma'am.." I pulled the chair after greeting my mother-in-law's pair next door.

"Morning, Ling. Let's have breakfast first. Take your morning meal full, Ling," welcome the warm Hajj Fatimah. Its innate nature is much different from that of Rush.

"Thank you, ma'am," welcome me with a bright smile this morning.

I looked at Rushqi who was not affected by my arrival at all, busy stirring the cup filled with tea with sugar that definitely had not been stirred. Bu Yanti often forgets to do it, whether it is sweet tea or sweet coffee.

"Pa, ma, if you want to introduce me to your candidates tonight, introduce me immediately."

Rushqi's words suddenly rang out, making me look up quickly at her. Those eyes with sharp irises were also staring at me.

"Are you hot, Rush?" ask the hajj sir by looking at his youngest son.

"Not bright, pa. But I don't have my own naps. Just surrender to you, pa," Rushqi lamented as he slammed his back against the back of his chair.

"Try, Lingga has no future husband. Who knows if you are a soul mate. It turns out that Lingga is a candidate, "say sir Haji Harjo looked at me. Just the flavorless smile I avenged on the hajj sir across.

I don't think they knew Rushqi's intentions were directly talking to me about marriage at dawn. This pair of hajj would definitely forbid the child to act recklessly if he knew the intention of Rush who asked me to break the Son in order to marry him.

Heh, Rushqi, you are so selfish. Sah, you are childish. Emphasizing your own will above the wishes of others. Apart from me and the Son who no longer have any loving-kindness.

"Yes, Lingga. Honestly, we want Rush to marry you, actually, like having your daughter-in-law. Until his father calls Rushqi, make sure you go and go home from work. Let's get to know her close. You are one company. Uh, Lingga, did Rushqi really do it?" ask Haji Fatimah while smiling warmly at me.

"Eh, yes, ma'am. Rushqi always offered me to work together."

I agreed as it was, though I never once welcomed the offer. Except last night because the shuttle bus was on strike. It is fitting that Rush did not get tired of stalking me when going to work, apparently provoked by his parents who were very considerate. Huh, I think Rush's own will. Turns out...

"Linga, what if after work, you come with us to Nagoya? Let's get to know the girl who will be acquainted with Rushqi. You will give me an opinion. Want it, Lingga??" Haji Fatimah said softly to seduce me.

"But I may not be able to come, ma'am.." I want to subtly reject it.

"Lha why, Ling? Will your candidate be angry?" ask haji to listen to me.

"Not that, ma'am. But after work, I usually get sleepy and tired. I just want to sleep, Mom," I explained.

"Let's go with Rushqi. We are old, so we are going to Nagoya after breakfast this morning by taxi. If you come along, you can sleep on the journey, Ling, "Mother Hajj is very hopeful to join me. Ah, my mother's heart is broken.

"Alright, mom. God willing, I try to come along" I replied. Although it feels inexhaustible, why should I be involved in their family affairs. But why do I also feel reluctant to refuse their offer. Ah, I don't know..

"So, what in your area of work, Rushqi is such a ruthless manager?" ask haji to me. His hands while peeling a banana.

Did the hajj ma'am say, Rushqi is the manager of the company?

"Mom I mean, what does Rushqi work as?" ask me about hajj.

"Isn't he a manager, Ling?" tanya haji looks doubtful. I also got confused this time.

"Ehem!"

"Six months away, ma. If my internship period of six months is good and smooth, then it will really be appointed as assistant manager. Not a manager, ma. Later, if the manager has retired to Singapore," Rushqi said after sipping tea in a cup.

I briefly touched my head. Apparently, it also highlighted the position of the childish man.

"Lha what are you now, Rush?" ask Haji Harjo to the youngest.

"Supervisor, pa," replied Rushqi seemingly uninspired. My chest suddenly beat faster as Rushqi looked at me. Will he tell you about all my colors?

"Supervisor? You left your new rock manager chair to become a supervisor at the instant noodle factory?" Pak Haji Harjo seemed very surprised, but still spoke gently to Rushqi.

"Eh, yes ma. Forgot me. You, Rushqi, encourage you. Just continue your struggle to reach your position again. Remember the position is only a human pelena in the world," said the Hajj sir who changed full of messages to the Rush.

Rushqi silenced by leaning back again on the chair. Nor did he mention his father's noble advice. Just looking at the empty tea cup on the table. While occasionally sweeping a glance at me.

The journey said would not exceed an hour, starting after Rush and I had finished bathing and eating. Although he had doubts about my interests at his family's private event, ended up sitting gliding as well as myself. Taken Rushqi as a driver, speeding through the highway.

Rushqi passed through the guard post in the housing and waved at the security man who was nodding at her. Security I know, but he doesn't see me inside.

"If you're sleepy, you just go to sleep, Ling," Rushqi suddenly told me. I thought he had a toothache so he couldn't talk. Which I regretted joining me with him.

"Yes, mas. Suppose I overslept, please understand," welcome me to Rush's good offer just now. It's a relief that Rush finally got me talking.

"I didn't think you were willing to come. Thank you, Ling," Rush said, looking at me. I was stunned for a moment, Rush had hardly ever spoken as smart as this before.

"Together, mas. Because tomorrow is Sunday. I have never been to Nagoya. My work for one semester just keeps bothering like this. So I haven't had time to go happily to Nagoya," I told Rush of my passion.

"Are you really happy? Did your future husband never take you to Nagoya?" ask Rush suddenly. It really shrinks my lips.

"She lives at the Panbill Apartment. Only his parents live in Nagoya city." I explained

Rush no longer asked. We went back to the silent and silent mode. This trip was a lot of fun. Especially tomorrow's holiday and I don't have overtime. The entire production off, none of which is operational.

Except the back end area should be the total washing machine this week. Because shut down at the back end this is all production holiday total tomorrow Sunday.

"Tonight we are not going to the mosque" Rushqi murmured softly. But I heard his words clearly.

"Bakso pengen,," timpalku also shrivelled. I think Rushqi is coming to me. Maybe we were together to remember eating meatballs together that night.

"Are you hungry?" asked Rushqi to look at me again.

"Just want, not hungry" I replied with a straight forward look.

"In your boarding house there's meatballs too. Eat there later. But if you want to now, I'll take it to a meatball stall that tastes really good."

Rushqi said softly and warmly, not as cynical as usual. I don't know what kind of genie is going through Rush right now. It seems to have begun to repent. Maybe want to learn to be nice to me for the sake of training yourself to be sweet to his future wife.

"How, Ling?" Rushqi repeated his offer. Quickly I took my face.

"No, mas. Don't bother yourself," I said feeling bad.

"Ling, how about tonight's stay in Nagoya? Will your husband be angry?" Rush's question surprised me.

"We're not coming home tonight?" ask me quickly.

"Yes, Ling. You mind?" tanya Rush looked awkward.

"I want to go straight home. It's not good to stay at people's houses" I said quickly explaining my objections.

"Ha,,ha,, whoa.." But Rushqi laughed.

"What's the difference between staying at the same Yellow Face house in Nagoya, Ling? Both are your hostess's houses?" Rushqi was still laughing questioning me. Actually yes too..

"But there, I don't have a private room that I've rented. It feels uncomfortable," I said refuting the ratio.

"You don't know the place yet. If you see it, you will like it. Your sense of disdain will disappear" Rushqi said, imposing on me.

I was silent too. Feeling confused yourself. Better get along, try to always be kind enough with Rush. A man who is somehow good either way, who is obviously his family a good man. If it's uncomfortable and I'm forced to stay overnight, I'll find my own taxi. Who is ready at any time to take me home.
