THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
Departure to Apply

A taxi stopped in front of Mr. Haris' house. Everyone turned their heads, watching the figure of the girl who just got off the taxi earlier.

He sauntered leisurely approaching the Via family who were preparing. The first one approached was Ms. Aisyah. He kissed the hand of Farhan and Azka with reverence.

“I don't think it's coming. Come on, help here!” exclaim Via.

Ratna dragged her small suitcase closer to Via.

“This one yesterday does not exist. Last night the item came, I packed it straight away,” Ratna said as she thrust out a box wrapped like the one Azka had put in.

“What is it, Rat?” ask Azka curiously.

“Gamis party one set,” replied Ratna.

Azka grabs the box that Via received from Ratna. He watched her for a moment.

“For Meli?” ask Azka.

“Who else? Time for his father,” replied Ratna's origin.

Azka counted the neatly arranged boxes in the back seat of each car. More than 10 boxes.

“Why, Deck? Wonderful by the number of hires?” ask Via with a dikulum smile.

“Iya. Worth it, you said you need at least three cars. I think two cars is enough because we're only ten. Baggage full of suitcases. If the boxes are stacked, broken,” murmured Azka.

“It's still added later. Wet cakes are not possible to bring from Jogja. Mother order in Jember,” sahut Bu Aisyah.

Azka just gawked. He did not count so many props.

“Kok dumbly? Early time in the room Doni, you do not pay attention, Dek?” farhan asked while patting his sister on the shoulder.

“Not. I just saw people walking around carrying stuff. I don't count the numbers. Mas Farhan time marriage is not gini,” replied Azka.

Bu Aisyah laughed at her son's innocent reply.

“When your sister married, who became a parent Via Mommy herself. Continues, delivery time like this? Buy it yourself, use it yourself, not exciting dong. At any time it is thought to be married officially.”

Via smiled bitterly at Bu Aisyah's words. He remembered both his parents. However, the thought was immediately dismissed.

“Aready?” ask Mr. Haris.

“Already. Come on, all in!” bring Farhan.

Ratna joins Bu Aisyah and Azka in a car driven by Mr. Nono. Via, Farhan, and Bu Inah in Edi's car. Meanwhile, Mr. Haris accompanied Eyang Probo in the car driven by Mr. Yudi.

“Mas Edi did not forget hotel booking, right?” ask Farhan.

“Of course, Mas. The restaurant that we will stop at during lunch break is also already,” replied Edi without turning her gaze.

“Thank you. Mas Edi is top,” said Farhan sincerely.

Edi gave a thin smile. He stopped the car when the lights were red.

“Sorry before. May I propose?” ask Edi carefully.

“What's the problem?” Farhan asked back.

“For wedding Mas Azka.”

“According to Mas Edi how?”

“Do you think Mas Farhan's family should use a plane? Matters of items can be brought first. I can ask people to trust me. In Jember, we can rent a car,” said Edi.

“Iya, Mas. Yesterday I thought so too. Tickets to Jember are over. If booking in advance may still be able to.”

“We are not Mr. Alex's family who can go at any time using a private plane,” murmured Via.

Farhan turned to Via.

“You want to have a private plane, Darling?” ask Farhan.

Via shook his head while smiling.

“We don't need it. We do not travel by plane at any time. Not once a week. That means the plane is more idle. It was a waste,” Via said.

Farhan laughing. This kind of thing made him admire his wife even more. Its simplicity does not fade.

Meanwhile, Farhan repeatedly looked at his phone. He was like a reporter, reporting positions every hour to Meli.

“Ngot all. Me and Lisa are a lot of wrap,” chirped Ratna.

“Lisa? Oh, that woman. I mean, that's who thinks this is it. Mostly you just follow the instructions,” refute Azka.

Ratna just grinned. Ms. Aisyah also shook her head.

“Yes, Via who thought of all. The boy thought quickly. In an instant everything was sorted out. In fact, he also ordered wet cakes in Jember. Later in the afternoon they deliver orders to the hotel,” said Bu Aisyah.

“Jewelry of a set is also Ma'am Via who bought?” ask Azka again.

“Iya. Yesterday, Mother got word from Meli that her father gave the green light, Mother called Via. He immediately quickly moved the message to Ratna wrap the clothes, bags, and mukena. If jewelry, skin care, toiletries, and shoes, he ordered to his friend.”

Azka nodded. He calculated the prices of all these things.

“How much has jetty made it all? Duh, Mas Farhan is very lucky to have a wife as good as Via eh Mbak Via. I wish I had gone to economics .... Haish, I can't think of anything weird. I've decided to choose Meli as a life companion.”

Ms. Aisyah noticed Azka's strange-looking movements.

“Why, Za?”

“Eh, no. Azka was just thinking how much did Mama Via put out for all that? What's in Azrina, Rat?” Azka closed the real feeling.

Ratna just smiled. He shook his head.

“You don't know what you forgot? Or can't tell?” cecar Azka's.

“The last one,” replied Ratna flat.

Azka snorted in annoyance. He did not want to ask again about the price of goods.

“Indeed if you know, you want to change? Free, your sister will not accept,” said Ms. Aisyah.

Azka was silent. He knew that Via must have done it.

“That was the initiative of Mbak Via or Mommy who asked?” ask Azka.

“Mothers who asked? Just be right! Of course Mother could not ask for it. Via had planned before Meli came home. He found out the size of Meli secretly, even ordering kebaya as well. Mother can not estimate the price of kebaya as good as it was made in a short time. Only 3 days, lo!”

Azka gawked at her mother's explanation. He knew more and more the kindness of his sister-in-law.

“Then, Mother nyiapin anything? Everything prepared by Ma'am Via?”

“Mother just prepare special food Jogja.”

“Mbak Via has always been loyal. He used to share. We used to buy things that were expensive for us. Mrs Wirawan familiarize it all,” chirped Mr. Nono.

Azka just nodded. His admiration for Via grew. However, he immediately stopped the wishful journey about Via. He did not want his heart to be worried.

Their long journey. All day in the car, they stopped for lunch and prayers. Fortunately, there are already tolls that make the trip smoother. By Maghrib, they reached the hotel.

“We go to Meli's house tonight or tomorrow?” asked Farhan while lowering the suitcase.

“Tonight. Plan after prayer isya we go there,” replied Via.

They immediately entered the hotel to rest for a while as well as pray. As soon as Meli's house remained in the car, only two boxes were moved to another car. They will only use two cars so as not to be too flashy.

Wet cake orders are delivered on time. Cakes that have been packed beautiful are immediately arranged in the trunk.

After that, they prepared to go to Meli's house. Azka was already wearing a light brown batik hem. Mr. Haris wears a dark brown batik, the same as the robe worn by Ms. Aisyah. Farhan and Via also wore brownish-tinted serimbit suits. Eyang Probo does not miss, wearing batik hem with matching colors.

Two cars driven by Edi and Mr. Yudi drove at medium speed towards the residence of Mr. Roni. The distance from the hotel to Meli's house is not far.

Azka looked uneasy sitting next to Pak Yudi. He looks tense. Her hands rubbed her forehead which was giving off a bit of sweat. The car AC was turned on.

It took about fifteen minutes to reach the Meli family residence. They rushed down as soon as the car engine was turned off. Some people stood on the terrace preparing to greet them.
