TINI SUKETI
96. Midnight Chat

Wibisono cupped Tini's face resting on her knees with both hands. “Sajakke I didn't know about your karo ngene. Ora mergo I kuwi stingy karo romantic sing talk. Mung I ngroso luwih becik mbuktek'ke dhisik. Tini, I'm tresno marang you sing would dadi bojoku." (I may not have talked to you. Not stingy with romantic words, but I think it's more important to prove it first. Tini, I love you as my future wife.)

Tini. Wibisono's words felt warm absorbing to the bottom of his heart. "Satur nuwun, Mas. Matur nuwun sanget sampun tresno lan darling marang me. Iso nrimo opo sing ono nang koro karo my past." (Thank you, Mum. Thank you for loving me. I can accept all parts of my life. Including the past.)

"I yo matur nuwun mergo kowe kuwi ora fussy takon mbiyenku kepiye. Maturnuwun wis gelem dadi sigaraning nyowoku." (Thank you also because you weren't fussy asking about my past. Thank you for deciding to be my life partner.)

Wibisono pulled Tini's body and hugged her tightly. His heart was already so steady that he married Tini. Evi and Dayat are also her sisters. Making Mr. Joko one of his fathers. Also do not forget Puput, a rooster that looks so important in the house.

Hugged them long enough. The silent sound from inside the house made the embrace shift into small kisses on the cheeks. They pass on a light, yet intense touch by rubbing each other's faces. Ignoring the buzz of mosquitoes in their ears.

Wibisono held Tini under his armpit. He took the woman's hands to hold her tighter. Their time is not much. The day after tomorrow they must have gone back apart. There is nothing wrong if he had a little romance with his future wife.

Small kisses then slowly crept to the lips. The statement of love she had just heard from a man as handsome as Wibi made Tini feel burning. Burned by a fire of romance that might scorch his entire village.

His eyes closed and his hands instinctively rubbed Wibisono's cheeks with a gurgle. Feeling the side of Wibi's ear that is always the cause of drool dripping every look. Tini's fingers came down rubbing her neck and touching the edge of the collar of Wibisono's shirt. He was getting washed away by Wibi's gentle sucking on his lips. Unknowingly, Tini let out a smooth sigh.

“Mbak Tiiin, as bad as piro?” (Bak Tiin, what time is it tomorrow?)

Dayat's voice came closer to the kitchen. Tini. Want Evi, want Dayat, just the same, he thought. From childhood they were created to destroy it.

A second Tini looked at Wibi. His hands were tucked into Wibi's shirt, feeling the man's back skin warm. But then Tini realized something. He lowered. And he saw that Wibi's hand was already on his chest.

Seeing that Tini had realized something new, Wibi laughed. For the sake of melting the atmosphere, the man again pulled Tini into his arms while laughing.

“Nothing, Mas. I have no doubts about Mas Wibi. At first I thought Mas Wibi was not married at the age of 36 because there was a disorder,” said Tini, grimacing.

“I'm normal, Tin. Totally normal. You can already ask questions about security rental from now on,” said Wibi, pinching Tini cheek soft.

“Corpse! Whynot? Disturb people. Mas Wibi and Mbak Tini again chat in the back,” Evi's voice sounded already in the kitchen.

“I don't know. I just want it, what time they leave tomorrow. Home will be quiet again,” said Dayat.

Tini opened the back door and entered the kitchen still while joining her future husband. “You are the same. Noisy," said Tini. “I go ahead first make put folding mattress.” Tini left Wibisono with her sisters in the kitchen.

“Udah malem. Sleeping, Yat,” take Evi, pat her sister on the shoulder.

“Vi, Yat, Mas want to ask something,” said Wibisono.

Those words held back Evi's steps towards the front. “What is it, Mas?” ask Evi curious.

"Swis tekon nang mbakyumu. Meh njaluk opo nggo dowry. Answane. Mas yo is confused. Ono view ora kiro-kiro?” (Mas has gone to your mother. What to ask for mascawin. Answer's whatever. Mas confused. You guys got a proposal?)

Dayat frowned and shook his head. “I have no shadow, Mas. Never been married,” said Dayat.

“Hmmm, I have a suggestion. Although a bit strange, but worth saying,” said Evi, moving her fingertips so that Wibisono slightly lowered her head to hear him whisper.

For a while, Wibisono was in the kitchen talking in a whisper with Evi and Dayat. Sometimes he laughed because Dayat's words were often plain but also true. The two brothers made a lot of suggestions to her. And the two agreed that they would tell each other everything in detail about what Tini wanted.

Wibisono wants his wedding in the village to run smoothly and festively like Tini's will was stolen he heard yesterday.

Until late at night, Dayat was seen lingering withstands sleepiness in front of the television. The young man was busy questioning Wibisono of sorts. Like not willing that his sister-in-law would leave their home tomorrow.

When all the residents of the house were asleep, Wibisono a little prank asking about Tini's ex-boyfriend who had told the woman a glance at him.

It turns out that finding information through Dayat is not too difficult. The young man was happy because he felt like an important person who knew the ins and outs of his brother.

Finally Wibisono took a deep breath and greeted him slowly. “Jadi ... Mbak Tini close the road? Sabotage? Alone?” asked Wibisono with a flabbergasted face.
