WEDLOCK
BOSENS

Like the previous Eid, actually Anin ogah-ogahan gathered with his large family. KAMIL FAMILY. Not because he didn't want to, but he wanted to avoid the question that had been asked for years every time they met him. That's what makes Anin not like family gatherings like today. He tried to get as familiar as possible with such questions. But more and more days, instead of decreasing even the question is already very wild to be answered by him continuously.

This time, Anin was very interested in her new niece. Aqila who was only 3 months old, but her behavior was already very adorable in her eyes coupled with the padded cheeks of the baby girl made her want to get closer to him. While sleeping, Anin was still loyal to be beside him and he followed the bed. Hehe.

CUPPP..

Anin did kiss the right cheek a little rough, to make the owner wake up and already implied signs he would harden the radio that had been turned off 2 hours.

"Ehhh, Aqila deck..."

"Baa...."

"Wake up..."

That's how Anin comforts the baby who has already woken up. Mama Aqila who is none other than her Buddhist child, mbak Yuni. That's how Anin called out to her, making mbak Yuni glare at her, as it managed to make her son wake up. Before her cries exploded, she immediately held Aqila and gave ASI. For a long time he tried to put Aqila to sleep and Aqila was unable to sleep anymore.

"Loe this is yes, for sure if my son is in the same. Totally nosy..."

Grumbling from Yuni as a sign of his protest to Anin. But he grumbled, instead busy with the baby who had laughed at the ravings of Anin.

"Dek Aqila is awake??"

"Yes, are you awake??"

"So shocked huh, kissed the same mbak Anin??"

"Sorry about Anin??"

Anin was still busy talking to Aqila and did not hear what Yuni said. More precisely intentionally not in horror. He was busy hearing Aqila's chatter that was not because coupled with her smile, typical of babies, but it was enough to make Anin entertained. She immediately kissed and hugged Aqila.

"Sorry about Anin??"

Said Anin who did look affectionate with her new niece.

Seeing his son who was kissed earlier, raises a question at once ignorant. Because Yuni is the only person in the Kamil family who can make Anin will answer this one question

"If it's a marriage, Aunt..."

The crybaby Yuni. Because for now, he managed to make Anin's eye gaze switch to the source of the sound of the word 'NIKAH'.

"Don't call me aunt..."

Anin did not like himself in the call Aunty. It feels like he is very old. He is now only 25 years old.

"From bulls..."

Yuni Cibir. He had told Anin many times that he should be called Aunty. Itung-itung looks more modern, than called Bulik. Because the truth is, he already has a nephew of himself and another cousin Anin.

"People age 25, still say young".

Imbuh Yuni, made Anin just sigh long.

"Do you really not have a candidate??"

Anin just shook her head while looking at Aqila who was still not talking clearly.

"Trus no one has a crush or you're a taxi??"

Instead he continued to be pursued the same question Yuni who had his KEPO high, making him choose to give up. There was no point in avoiding Yuni's question.

"There is mbak. Focus on the work first".

Anin replied, because that is the truth. Now all he thinks about is his career without frills taking care of love.

"Here asked, he replied 'Lecture aja absent mulu, mbak. Why think rich'..."

"Lha now, get rich too".

Yuni was a bit annoyed with Anin. Because he was also not out of thought, especially what he wanted to achieve with his cousin that one.

"Loe's not LGBT, is she??"

The question suddenly came from the woman. There is a little thought about it, because until now Anin was still holding the title 'SINGLE SINCE BIRTH'.

Honestly, Anin who heard that coming out of Yuni was a little annoyed. Is it so bad for her single now??

"I'm normal, ma'am. People still healthy wal afiat rich ginni kog, in the say LGBT".

Suddenly the man who had finished probing his nephew came. Arwi Kuncoro Kamil's. Anin's younger brother.

"Yeah of Yuni, still rich nanyain like mbak Anin".

Then he sat cross-legged facing his brother.

"Obviously no answer, ma'am. Mommy until the bosen nanyainnya".

Typal Arwi who had been hit by a pinch on his right thigh by Anin. His only brother was a bucket that leaked everywhere.

"Basic Jones is busy..."

Arwi felt like he was not caught up with what he had just obtained.

"By the way, you again failed to move on. In the marriage boyfriend's residence..."

Anin chuckles. Yesterday, he stopped by his parents' house at night. And he read an invitation addressed to his sister. After being examined, there is the name of the child who was told Arwi as his girlfriend when Arwi 2nd grade High School. If it is counted, it is 3 years. Awet also turned out to be a rich slengekan Arwi guy.

"Loe Kog really mean it?? No more filters".

Arwi, who felt scowled by her brother, chose to run away from her place. She didn't want her brother to reveal his secret. Moreover, he was also at the beginning of his emotions.

"Mistake yourself into a bucket. I want to go to college. Just in the first semester, it's been mulu mulu. No shame you're the same tears you were".

Anin did not stop nagging the person who was no longer in his sight. It had been a long time since he had nagged his sister. Moreover, Arwi does have a habit when sungkem with Father-Mother and himself. BLUBBERING.

Yuni who was among them could only shake her head. When did the sisters stop being the same Dog as the Cats. They always fight every time they meet.

"If he's going to college mulu. Eventually, he was rich. Joneses. Kasian right, the guy who looks like a rich cover boy is even single".

Yuni is not willing, if her increasingly gedhe male cousin is even more handsome. Though if you remember, it was Arwi, the item likes to play continues.

"If handsome mah, later meet his soul mate. Especially if it's established, jaudah..."

Timpal Anin won't lose.

"Lha you, less what try. Loe is beautiful, there is no lack of anything. Loe is now also successful in everything, but it's not about the heart".

"Ahhh, yaudah mbak.. males talk to you.. bye Aqila".

Anin kissed Aqila's cheek and left just like that.

Hearing that, made Anin not wince. He chose to leave just like his sister had done. It was true, what Yuni said earlier. About the heart, he admitted that he was bad at it. Yuni is still a woman. Shouldn't he know what he's feeling too. Which woman does not want to marry. But the priority now is not to get married, but there are other things he wants to achieve before he finally gets married someday.

***

Anin chose to return to her room. He left his family's show at his grandmother's house. More precisely, next to her parents' house. Anin really didn't want to meet a lot of people first. Various questions and statements from Yuni, made her think about it as well.

"When do I get married, huh??"

Anin muttered to herself. He finally put down his body feeling the padded spingbed he had long since left behind. She no longer cared how her hijab would be or how to imagine how tangled her clothes were because she was sleeping like she is today.

His eyes began to weigh heavily as if there was a guide for him to close his eyes. It was customary of Anin, that once she kissed the pillow, she would fall asleep in an instant. It was only 7pm. But he did not fall asleep after hearing the screams from the living room that continued to bear his name.

"Mr... Mbak Anin's... Where are you, mbak???"

"I'm here, Mother..."

"Rightful..."

Anin wakes up from her bed. When will he rest after last night he stayed up late preparing all the dishes for his family's regular events every Lebaran with his mother and Budhe Lastri.

~Budhe Lastri, the eldest brother of his father.

Sarawati walked towards the source of the voice. She knew very well that the sound her son made was typical of people waking up.

"You sleeping mbak??"

Tanya Sarawati appeared from behind the door and caught the red eyes of her son.

The question was answered only with a nod from her daughter.

"Eat first gih, end it is Isya prayer..."

Sarawati's orders patiently, because she knew that ruling her son after he was awakened, made her have to prepare to be raw. Angry Alias.

"Neither eat. Directly to pray. I'm tired of this body".

Anin answered, getting out of her bed. The mother immediately held Anin's wrist. From the look in his eyes it can be guessed that the middle-aged woman harbored a question.

"What's up, Mommy??

"What do you want??"

As usual, Anin immediately guessed directly without making small talk. Because he didn't like it, even though he was now talking to his own mother.

"You're tired of asking the same question as marriage?? So you're not eating now??"

Finally Sarawati revealed what was now in her mind. There was no answer from Anin, because the answer she wanted to hear by her mother was clearly implied from the look on her face.

"Are you still waiting for Mas Yusuf??"

DEG...

MAS YUSUF???

The name of the person seemed able to make, Anin's heart stopped a few seconds before his brain told him to immediately act normal again.

"And Anin said, Mother. Joseph was probably married and may even have children now".

Anin is what she is. It is clear from the look in his eyes so sad to say the reality is there. The truth that Anin had believed.

While Sarawati who saw the expression of her son immediately sighed heavily.

"Mother do not need to follow worried I dapet mate or not. Mother herself must be much more understanding than people out there".

Imbuh Anin who forced her mother must understand her condition now.

If you recall, this is also his fault because when Anin has started to know love, he actually forbids his son to think about it and only think about his education. But now, seeing that Anin is too fond of her current life, she is also worried about the love life of her son. Because the last he heard, Anin already liked someone even Anin admitted that. But at that time, Anin chose to concentrate on his lectures only.

The mother simply stroked her son's hand which was still in his grasp. And now Anin started walking out of the room leaving her to perform Isya prayers.

REUNION AKBAR...

One class while in college...

Making Joseph forced to follow the event, because Hendi had dragged him from home. He actually did not want to attend the event, because it could be ascertained that only he who now does not bring a partner. That is how Joseph's eyes look around him now. Only he who is unemployed is accompanied by Agus. While the person who whined to him this morning, was already busy introducing his wife and son. Joseph could only be patient withholding the attitude of his friend.

Patience.

Finally, Joseph chose to enjoy every menu of food at the event. It is good to eat for free. Because he here did not pay the dues for this event. It was one of Joseph's conditions for Hendi, if Hendi wanted him to participate in the reunion of their college friends. By force, Hendi agreed to Joseph's request. Importantly, the person who had made her beg this morning was able to participate in the event. Just this time, Joseph accepted his invitation. Usually he would be busy with his work to refuse his invitation. And today was actually the same, but this time he was determined to invite Joseph. Whatever way.

"Still alone, Yusuf??"

Ask Ana while holding a baby who has fallen asleep with sweetness.

"No, I was with Hendi with his family and had a conversation with Agus".

Answer Joseph as he was. He was still enjoying the fruit salad he had on his hands at the moment.

"Yaelah, loe mah from the past until now kog tetep 'ice stone'. When's loe melting??"

Sindir Ana who felt that Joseph did not understand the true meaning of the question earlier.

Joseph just frowned. Trying to rethink what Ana just said. But still, he doesn't understand. Too blurry to guess.

"Loe if you want to ask Joseph, just be blunt. He knows what the word macem sindirian rich is".

Finally, the person who made Yusuf join the reunion. Hendi followed his wife and son from behind making Joseph frown even more sign he did not understand.

"You mean Ana's, you're not married?? The rich must be made clear".

Cibir Hendi who made Joseph feel like he wanted to snap Hendi's head at once, if he did not undo his intention because now there is a wife and son Hendi.

"Yes, it has to be asked. Simpulin is what you see now. If I'm alone, it means I'm not married".

Yusuf replied casually, because there is nothing to cover about the fact that he was not married either.

"Wait for what?? He is now a rich director of gini kog. Mah's girl must be ngantri".

Ana is indeed curious about the fate of Joseph's romance now. Because according to rumors when they were in college, Joseph was going to get married after he graduated from college. At that time, Joseph was engaged and Ana herself also saw the process of engagement. So it is only natural that now he asks the continuation of the engagement.

"Just calm down. I'm alone".

Said Dimas who participated in the interview session Yusuf about his love life.

"Neither be proud to be alone. Loe's wife can't come along".

Ana snarls with Dimas's pretentious-feeling single behavior.

"If you're married, don't forget to invite us?"

Dimas paid no heed to the grunts from Ana. He preferred to tease Joseph, because Joseph was in the rich tease at this time even diem. So what's tempting is even gemes.

"Loe who is married still wants to be single. I'm still single, why marry? Ah, I'm going home. Hendi, I'm going home first. Mr. Efendi said that now he was in the office, so I want to suck him".

Yusuf chose to leave, because he had received a call that in 1 hour, Mr. Efendi was in his office.

"Sir Efendi, why the office?? People still holiday lebaran rich gini you know".

"There's a file I need to take care of. Tomorrow I will be active in the new office. Loe too, right?? So you're here not papa. I take care of everything".

Without waiting for a response from Hendi, Joseph immediately left his friends who might soon be focusing on him. Asking this-that. And the thing that Yusuh avoids the most is about marriage. He was tired of that kind of question. Even in her own home, she was urged to get married. Especially after his youngest sister had stepped up to get married and now has a child. Making Joseph more intense to be asked for marriage.

Marriage is easy.

The wedding should be ready. Ready it.

Marriage brings two families together. Even if it takes two different worlds if if the person he married has a different life with him. Unite two poles that are very far apart, in order to keep going hand in hand towards the same goal.

That is what Joseph thought. Not because of anything else. Because for him, his existing life set him up. Allah SWT. He is sure, that maybe it is not time for him to get married, because until now he has not been able to forget the existing woman who has it.
