THE UNIVERSE IS FOLLOWING US
CHAPTER 153

"Hello, assalamualaikum, Pa," Elsa said on the phone.

"Waalaikumsalam, papa's son when to go home?"

"A little while, pa. Elsa pamit used to be the same brother Dira, there is a Aunt Goddess and Vira here. Why, Pa?"

"Sorry, you talk like this on the phone. But your mom and dad agreed to postpone your engagement until an unspecified time."

"Why, Pa?"

"Mama heard the news that her brother Dawa was a woman who destroyed the household of others. Mama you're worried, afraid her fellow arissants know who her future daughter-in-law is,"

"But, Pa. It was in the past that her brother Dawa had died. Why do we look for the faults of the dead,"

"Of course for your happiness, son. Papa already knows that the company he holds is sponsored by Khairul, papa's friend. He even left his son Khairul without discussing it first. That's his name doesn't know in profit. Anyway you go home and we talk at home."

"And another one, papa agrees more with his nephew Adrian. Who has PT. Honey Blessing. He's well established and handsome. When it comes to age, it doesn't matter. What matters...."

"Bibit bebet and weights, yes, pah. Elsa's tired of hearing it" Elsa hung up from her papa.

Elsa walks over after getting a call from her papa. He was not surprised that his papa could investigate everything. The spies of his father a lot, whatever and wherever he wants his father will certainly be able to quickly. Elsa is not surprised that her papa quickly found out about the origin of the Pandavas. But if he told me the same thing, Vira would kill herself.

"Sa," Elsa recognized the sweet voice that greeted her. Elsa lowered her head as the figure approached her. His head shrieked when he found that the figure was already standing before him near.

"Ra, I know you want to be mad at me about your identity. I know I was wrong, but let me wear it to get close to Danu's sister. Let me love Brother Danu. After all, you have returned the item which means you do not want to deal with Danu's brother anymore"

"I don't care if you love Danu's sister or vice versa. I wonder why I should use that name. Why use the name "Cow". If he loves you, he will accept you for who you are. Not the memories of the past.

I'm disappointed in you, Sa. I thought you were really my best friend, I was wrong!" Vira left Elsa alone not far from Elsa's car.

"You're a hypocrite, Savira. You love Danu too. You made Danu think I was a cow. Try if you don't make me bait of your personal problems. It's not gonna be like this. Now when Brother Dawa chose me. You are hot. What do you want, Vira!"

"I told you, it doesn't matter if you and he love each other. But be yourself, not someone else, Melsana. You want to be the same whoever I support. But....

Never mind, it's also free to talk about drunk people love!" Vira leaves Elsa in front of her car.

...****...

Time keeps going. It has been shown at 18:00 where Muslims practice Maghrib prayer. Mama Dewi just finished ablution, she knocked on the door of Vira's room. The youngest daughter was already wearing a mukena. Mama Dewi looked amazed to see her youngest child.

"Vira," Mama Dewi enters Vira's room.

"Just go in, Ma. Not in the key" exclaimed Vira.

"Mama pray with you, yes, you have something to talk about,"

"It's definitely about Panji, but if that's what makes you happy. No problem," inner Vira.

Mama Dewi and Vira finally prayed together in the room. After completing the prayer Vira also folded his face. Mama Dewi looked at her youngest daughter.

Doesn't feel like you've been in 20 years. Yes, we are in 2023. That's a sign you've been in 21 years. A new feeling yesterday I was surprised she was in the womb. Because it occurred to think of sterile after giving birth to Dira. Now you're big. Growing up to be a beautiful girl.

"You know, it's our family tradition. The tradition of soul mate. Mama knows you must not be surprised by this conversation. And I hope you listen to me."

"Mama doesn't want you to be with her sister Padma. You don't forget how Padma came to destroy our family. So mom ..."

"Why did Mom talk about him? mama knows I don't really know the Danu. Yeah maybe me and him were near childhood. But that was before, Ma. Mama saw for herself that she now chose Elsa. So you don't have to think of the distance."

"Ma, Vira's not getting married yet. Vira still wants to go to college and be a career woman like Mama. If you want to make Vira to get married fast. Just like you did to Dira's sister."

"Mama hope you're with Panji. He's kind, this family's equal attention. Already well established and handsome. Track record is good. Mama knows her Panji whose name is Adrian. So I hope you will accept Panji as your future husband"

Vira choked, mama seemed to signal for her to receive Panji. If Vira can say she doesn't want to choose both. But it was also free that he lost the vote.

"Lusa came with mom to Jakarta. You have to be faster fiancee with Panji. I don't want to know and I don't want to hear your reasons!"

"Egoo mom!"

"Mama, Vira, dinner is ready" Arjuna said from outside the room.

Mama Dewi and Vira immediately cleared their faces. They left the room and gathered at the dining table.

Some dinner menus such as soto tripe, potato paste and also warm tea. Because the air is quite cold the effect of the rainy season.

The dinner went well. No one starts the conversation. Both Dira and Juna gave each other codes to start the conversation. After dinner, Vira helps clean the dining table.

"Ma, I want to talk," Dira began the main discussion.

"What do you want to say, honey?" mama Dewi grasped tightly the fingers of Dira.

"Mama read this, yeah. Let's clear everything." Dira handed me a white paper envelope.

"Mama is open, yes" said Mama Dewi as she opened the white envelope.

"Thank God you're pregnant, son." Mama Dewi immediately hugged Dira tightly. A mother's happy embrace. When I got the happy news about her pregnancy.

"Yes,Ma. I'm six weeks pregnant." replied Dira.

"Mama tell me, Feri, yes," Mama Dewi immediately tried to contact Feri.

"Ma, Brother Feri and sister Tina already know that Dira is pregnant," replied Dira timidly.

Mama Dewi put her phone on the dining table. His friendly face is now invisible. Hands folded over his chest.

"What are you hiding from your mom? why this kind of thing, my mom doesn't even know. Instead of being the last to know about this, Dira''

"Does the Arjuna family know better than you do?"

"Ma, listen to our explanation first," interrupted Arjuna.

"Be quiet, Juna! I'm talking to my son! not the same as you!" snapped mama Goddess.
