WEDLOCK
Surprise

This day Anin felt in a hurry with various reports that he had to submit tomorrow before the regular monthly meeting that should have been held before Lebaran. But the meeting was postponed until waiting for a replacement for Mr. Effendi who was transferred to another branch company. Moreover, Franda again asked permission for him to go home quickly, because he wanted to clean up his new home with Riki. Husband Franda. Making Anin unable to hold back Franda to help her finish the report.

Even Anin was only able to stuff his stomach with bread and coffee that he deliberately bought from the office cafeteria, because he did not have time to eat rice. Honestly, it's very torturous for worms in his stomach that start to protest.

"In a moment, Anin..."

"One more page left..."

Anin muttered to herself. He himself can also make sure he must stay alone in the office. Today, he does not want to have an office job at home. He wanted to make sure that after he was home, he really had to put his body to sleep.

The save... Enter...

Do not underestimate the ability of Anin in typing. Although now his job in the business field, but still he can not eliminate his ability that makes him get the title S1 Informatianya. With the title, it is as if the computer has become a part of his life. Which sometimes makes itself called 'Computer Walking'.

***

Hour 22:00

Soon Anin sighed after glancing at the digital watch that was in her right hand. But he was relieved that he did not need to stay overnight just to finish his report. Anin immediately went out to the car park. But now what he saw was, a Mercy car that must be the latest output whether the owner who blocked the way out of his car. He also can not move anywhere because behind and to the right is a wall while to the left there is still a car owned by the office. Fortunately today his mood was not as bad as usual, so he did not need to kick the car that was in front of him now.

Anin immediately reported to the security guard to make a notice to whoever the owner of the Mercy car was before the car was targeted by his anger, because it managed to thwart his plans tonight. SLEEPS.

15 Minutes later...

Anin is still waiting faithfully even though he finally kicked the tire of the mercy car that made his alarm sound. But at that moment, the sound stopped. Anin is looking for someone who has turned off the alarm that must be the owner of the car. Upon seeing him, it turned out that Joseph was already beside him. I don't know when he's been there that must have made him shocked and embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, the one who parked this car was Hendi. And I don't know if it turns out he parked it rich gini".

Yusuf also felt like he wanted to curse with Hendi's behavior that only he gave the task to park his car must bring the problem as it is now. Not getting a response from Anin, he immediately got into his car to move the position of the car. He immediately went out and approached Anin again.

"Is this hour still in the office?? Overtime??"

This time Joseph managed to break Anin's daydream.

"Ehh, there is a job that you do not want to take home".

Anin answered, but Joseph could still hear it.

"Just go home?? Is that malem??"

Whether there was any wind, Joseph spoke like that to Anin. He himself was also unaware of what he had just said. Anin was once again shocked by what was happening at this moment.

"That's okay, sir.. Uh, that means Mas..."

"It's common to go home at this hour..."

"Then I go home first, Mom... Careful yeah... Assalamualaikum..."

Anin hurriedly got in her car. Soon he put up the seat-belt and started the car. He honked his horn as he passed Yusuf who was still standing next to his car.

"Be careful, yeah..."

The words of Joseph that Anin could still hear were some distance away from Joseph.

Joseph got in his car to get home. He still did not expect that he would meet with his juniors during the lecture that he knew accidentally in the organization they were participating in. Although not very familiar with Anin at that time, but he had told Anin to help him implement his division work program. At that time, Anin was in another division. But Anin casually agreed to Joseph's offer.

***

Anin who is not less willing with other office officials to submit monthly financial statements as well as the next company agenda, because the person who should convey this is not present.

In the office, in addition to having a nickname as the best employee. Anin also earned another nickname as TROUBLEMAKER. Not a problem that causes losses for the office, but a problem that makes some employees have to stroke the chest provides a sea of patience when the work they do is not in accordance with Anin's expectations.

Yusuf who had heard of this from Hendi and had heard himself from some employees who gossiped about his irritation to Anin. At that time, he could only hold back the laughter and in front of Hendi he cried because of the laughter that never stopped. He knew that Anin was a person who only accepted the work perfectly. But he did not expect that his attitude was still carried away until now. And now, he wanted to see firsthand the performance results of Anin the Almost Perfect.

As expected, there was not the slightest error in his report and presentation today. Though today he must be sleep-deprived because last night he had to soften everything and plus deal with his car.

***

Hendi who had noticed Yusuf who had been smiling himself since the meeting, precisely when it was Anin's turn to read his report until he entered the room.

"Woii.. why do you smile so rich?"

Yusuf was still smiling to himself even though he was now a bit upset with Hendi.

"Pull things... This is again in the office, not outside. Call Mr. Yusuf kek. It's even a loe-loe".

Grutu Yusuf who was not aware that from now on Hendi was still calling him 'Sir Joseph'. But Yusuf himself made Hendi more anxious. If only, the fate of his work was not in the hands of Joseph, perhaps at this time he would claw Joseph's head and curse as he pleased.

"Absmacked by Anin, huh??"

Hendi guess, because indeed when seen only Joseph pay attention to the movements of Anin. Whatever Anin does will draw the attention of Joseph. But maybe his guess this time was true. Joseph glared at him. He did not expect that Hendi knew what he was thinking right now.

Hold still...

I'm fascinated by Anin??

Yusuf was ready to spray his rebuttal. He couldn't possibly be fascinated with Anin. All this time he had only considered him a junior in his campus. No less and no more than that. But to be honest, Anin is more beautiful than usual. She wears a black A model skirt, black shirt and vest batik with a predominance of yellow and does not miss the hijab that she harmonizes with her skirt and clothes makes her look more beautiful. Today he also does not use his sneakers as usual, but maroon-red flat shoes make him more elegant than usual. Although he did not manage to hide his sleep-deprived face, but he did look different from what Anin had seen. Joseph who saw it for the first time, did not expect that Anin could appear as graceful as before. And now, Joseph returned to his thoughts about Anin today which made him not to scold Hendi for his pretentious nature earlier.

"So, are you really fascinated with Anin?? Praise be to Allah... You have made this friend of Your servant move on..."

Hendi said as he rubbed his hands against his face. He did not believe that finally, his friend who had difficulty moving on, could see the presence of women in this world.

"What did you mean?? I have moved on kog. It's just Loe who doesn't know".

Deny Joseph who felt insinuated by the intention of the move-on that his best friend said earlier.

"Yes, you're moving on, but it's new".

Hendi still chuckled at the expression from Joseph.

"Oiya, I was here just to let you know that tomorrow you don't have to go to the office. Go directly to the new project location in Jogja".

"Besok Anin also went to Jogja to replace Mr. Erwin".

Hendi tried to tempt Yusuf. Hearing this, Joseph was ready to throw his pen at Hendi. But, Hendi who was ready with how to respond from Joseph, immediately dodged and out of the boss room.

So, tomorrow Anin also come to Jogja???

***

Today, Anin leaves for Jogja for her job with Arwi. His sister said that she wanted to go to Jogja. So rather than him having to ride a motorcycle, hot no friend to chat, so he whines to borrow his brother's car. Even if there are no friends, but at least he will not overheat. But coincidentally, today Anin will visit a new project from his office in Jogja, making him unable to refuse an offer from Arwi. Counting, he can sleep during the trip later. The drowsiness from a week ago.

"Mbak... What time will you pick up?? Let me get ready later. Not having a Ngaret show".

Arwi knew full well that her brother disliked the word waiting the least.

"Gue doesn't know either. I should have, for a second. But he also said there are problems that must be in the same completion of my company. So maybe yes, I wait until before Maghrib. If until maghrib loe hasn't picked up yet, I'm not the head".

Anin has caught Arwi who is still concentrating on driving her makes Arwi grimace gets a stab in her head.

"It's not too late, it's been playing shitak. Especially if I'm late?".

Arwi still stroked his head. She did not expect that she should have a super-beast sister like Anin. Even if she knew that Anin would give her whatever she wanted. Including the latest iPhone that is now in his pocket.

"But thank you very much. I want to buy an iPhone. The latest series again".

Anin just smiled hearing what Arwi said earlier.

"Loe is good with me if she wants to".

Sindir Anin who only makes Arwi smile.

"Just thank you. Though loe itself also does not have a ginian rich HP".

Arwi pulled Anin's cheek in a fit of anxiety.

"Eh, you're a curmudgeonly huh??"

Arwi felt that her brother's cheeks were not as cubby as usual.

"Do not want to take care of the body. The body is already less high kog, even want to be more thin. Do you want to get rich in Taoge??"

"Loe is yes, in front of Mother the same father aja the chauffeur same me. If you are both rich gini. Don't wear me-you, it's loe-gue".

Anin tried to divert the conversation. In fact, he himself did not pay much attention to his weight either. It is enough with a less height that makes him still often considered as a high school boy until now.

Arwi just laughed hearing the statement from her brother earlier. He was sure that what Anin said was just a diversion topic. Anin and herself did not want to be burdened with the status of sisters when relaxed like this. That's what makes Arwi used to using loe-gue language with her brother, unless they are at home. Maybe he got hit by the Mother who still upholds the upload. And Anin didn't bother about that.

Without feeling, Anin was asleep with her head leaning against the glass window of her car. Arwi immediately protected her brother's head with her left hand still free which made Anin look for the most comfortable position again. Arwi just smiled seeing how her brother's current state was. He was grateful and worried. Thankful that God has given a sister who is so responsible with her family even though she is a woman. On the other hand, he was also worried because all this time he only saw Anin working hard without paying attention to himself, especially his personal life.

***

"Sir, if you want to go home directly contact me. I play only jogja area aja kog".

Anin only responded with deheman while opening the door of her car. Anin did not believe what Arwi said that he only played around Jogja with all day added now he brought his car. Arwi is indeed an adventurer boy. Even he had no news for 3 days and it turns out he was already in Raja Ampat and just returned a week later.

"Sir, don't forget to eat?".

Arwi kissed the back of Anin's hand and kissed her brother's cheeks. It has been their habit since childhood and difficult to be eliminated unless the fit Arwi again in front of his friends.

"Bawel loe's..."

"Assynoltom..."

Anin immediately left without noticing Arwi who was still seeing him.

"Waalaikumsalam. be careful mbak..."

Arwi also immediately darted riding the Outlander Sport which actually had long been he estimated since his brother bought it. He is also unlikely to ask his parents, because in his family has the principle of not giving facilities to his child that are not useful. Like cars. Arwi has to be patient.

The arrival of Anin was already in waiting by Yusuf, Hendi and some other staff who were already on site early.

"Assynoltom..."

"Sorry late, the road was quite jammed".

Anin slightly bowed in shame to her late self while the person who had a higher position than her was already present. Especially Yusuf. He did not know that Joseph was also involved in the activities today.

"Vaalaikumsalam.. Not papa kog. We also just came".

Said Hendi to lighten the atmosphere. He does not want field work like this can be exciting when it has entered the office area.

Eventually, they continued their activities. Surround the project site by occasionally asking for problems that occur in the project area. Joseph who saw Anin was directing something to one of the project supervisors, his leadership spirit was very visible even though he was a woman.

Not noticeably, the sun was already right above their crown. It's time for a break and today's field trip is also over. Anin did not expect that a visit like this also drained her energy. He immediately sent a message to Arwi promising to pick her up again.

To : my ketjeh lovely brother

(which is certain that the name of such a contact is the owner of the number, not Anin)

Dek, where are you now??

Pick me up now..

I waited at that place.

Anin decided to pray dhuhur first while waiting for his sister who must still be on the way. The congregational prayer at the mosque near the project site was added with the voice of the Imam who was no stranger to Anin making him calmer than before he prayed. Whose voice, if not the voice of Joseph, is now more often the Imam in his office mosque.

After the prayer, Anin decided to postpone her lunch. He was also not used to lunch. Anin is still waiting for Arwi who until now has not returned the message.

"Dec, you want to go home??"

"Would you eat first??"

"That's okay, sir. I'd like to be picked up by my sister".

This time Anin answered the question according to the actual circumstances. But the person who was waiting for him didn't come either. Arwi basic.

"It's better that Mr. Yusuf eat first".

Joseph just scrunched his forehead. Called 'Sir' again. Ok, maybe for Anin this is still his office hours.

"Whoa kog, I was just waiting for Hendi to take my car".

Joseph tried to balance Anin's formal way of speaking.

Anin did not pay much heed to what her boss had said earlier. Now he was struggling with his HP. He has called Arwi many times, but only the answer from the operator he heard that his call was missed.

Joseph, who was already in his car, opened the passenger glass.

"Are you really waiting for your sister??"

Joseph made sure Anin would actually be picked up by his sister.

From: my lovely brother

Mav brother. I can't pick up brother now.

I'm still in Borobudur now.

If I still want to wait, I'm back right now.

Yusuf was still waiting for an answer from Anin who was suddenly silent, because now his interlocutor was more concentrated on typing his finger into his HP.

To : my ketjeh lovely brother

Don't need..

I am together with you if so..

Fine same my car..

Anin just grumbled. It is impossible for an ARWI to come home quickly during the holidays. In fact, the hours of the day can stretch up to 30 hours. But his fault was also the one he said he would go home before Maghrib, because he had to take care of office problems at the location that turned out to be only a licensing business and had been taken care of by Hendi. He knew it would happen like this.

Now Anin saw the faithful Joseph waiting for him. Determine whether the offer that was submitted by Yusuf is still valid for now. If you think again, he can save the cost of going home. Even if he could save by taking the train. But still he had to take the bus to get to the station.

"Sir, is the offer still valid??"

Anin scratched her head covered in her pastel pink hijab.

Joseph opened the door and Anin swiftly entered the car.

"Where is Hendho??"

Anin looked for Hendi's figure, who was always next to Joseph while wearing his seat belt.

"Oh... Hendi still has the same business as the supervisor of the project. So he's still here. He's got his own car, so I'm staying".

Joseph answered with a light smile to Anin.

Anin looked at Joseph strangely. Since when did the Joseph he knew use the words 'GUE'.

Aware of Anin's astonished gaze immediately realized what she had just said.

"Loe shouldn't be surprised. Actually, I have always used to speak the words macem gini. Anin's deck is not ordinary for its horrors".

"Ngga kog, sir. It's just weird..."

"Sir Yusuf doesn't papa, if there are only two people in this car??"

Anin tries to awaken his memory of Joseph. Yusuf who he thought would immediately move away from a situation where only one man and one woman left.

"Don't call mr. dong. Call rich usually. It's still a break".

Time has shown at 13:15. So the break was over 15 minutes ago.

"What matters is that there is no lust... Still keeping your eyes and mind".

It was clearly Joseph who made Anin just nod his head. But in his mind now he could not understand why the view of life of the person next to him seemed to change. There were different ones and it was all still a puzzle in Anin's thinking.

Finally, they chose silence interspersed with music that deliberately turned Joseph to eliminate loneliness. Anin did not dispute that. But after thinking back. This is not the way to go back to Solo. It's still around Jogja. Actually, Anin was curious. But he also can't do much. Maybe this is one of the roads leading to Solo that he has never crossed.

Anin decided to sleep hoping that when she woke up, she was already in front of her office.

***

Anin tries to close her eyes. But his efforts failed and made Anin often shift his sitting position. Not usually he can not sleep, especially if it is already in the car in a hitchhiking like this. Coupled with a heartbeat that looks like someone ran a marathon. Though from now on he just sat around and while working earlier he just walked while occasionally stopping to ask about the project to one of the workers.

"Aren't you comfortable??"

Joseph tried to break the silence in his car. He thought about what kind of words he would use to talk to Anin. And finally he chose the language 'I-KAMU'. Formal but can still be brought cool.

"Ngga kog mas..."

Anin replied lying. Actually not 100% lying, because now he is in a luxury car that certainly for anyone who rides must immediately feel the soft seat in the car. But being in one car with Joseph made everything feel different.

"Ehhhmmm..."

That'sallthatis. And it ends like that. But increasingly, Anin felt confident that they were still in Jogja and now the car was entering luxury housing.

One...

Two...

Three...

Four...

The car finally stopped at the fourth house they passed. The house which according to Anin's view is still nuanced native Javanese because of the Joglo model on the front, but there is a modern feel because the house is two-story. That's what's on Anin's mind now.

"This is my parents' house in Jogja. Let me go to Jogja, so all of you stop by".

Huhh...

Drop by??

But why not me again...

However, Anin only gave a nodding expression. He doesn't know what to behave like. His mind and body were indeed unable to cooperate from earlier.

Hold still...

If this is the house of his parents, Joseph..

Means just let me down... HHHUUUWWWAAAA...

Anin's heart felt like it was coming out. What kind of fate is this. If you really want to stop by, why should nawarin a ride to return to Solo. If rich gini, how to reverse it. And Anin also remembered, that today she was only wearing makeshift clothes. Black jeans, batik shirt with ¾ sleeves, quadrilateral hijab and do not forget the white sneaker that has changed color to cream because it was exposed to dust at the project site. He really wants to look simple, especially with his agenda today that requires him to jump into the field directly. But if you meet his family Yusuf who he believes has a strong understanding of Islam that makes Anin's body feel weak. What do you want to be, if your clothes are still rich.

"Come..."

Take Joseph who has opened the car door to Anin. Anin soon returned to her real life. He didn't want to think strangely. But if rich gini who would not think strange.

***

Joseph opened the door of his house. Parents' house. He himself did not know what he was doing now. I don't know what basis he wants to introduce Anin to his family. Especially parents.

"Assynoltom..."

Shouted Yusuf. It turns out that the residents of his house are already in the living room.

Anin who was so nervous, could only wring her hands that were already sweating coldly. Facing potential investors only, Anin can deal with it well. But this, the one he was about to meet was not an indiscriminate person. They were the parents of Joseph.

"Goddessalam..."

It looks middle-aged women who wear a hijab that Anin thinks is very large, but still gives the impression of graceful approaching the two of them who are still in the doorway. Joseph immediately kissed the back of the woman's hand which Anin believed was Joseph's mother. Then Anin immediately followed Joseph to bake the soft hand politely plus the chips in the style of mothers. And it was true what was on Anin's mind. Almost all of them are dressed according to Islamic law, except there is one woman who is still about the age of 30 still dressed casually. Seen from the way of the veil. 11:12 with Anin.

"Oh, son, you haven't been home in a long time. Don't you miss Umi??"

"Jusuf's been here for a week..."

Joseph answered, smiling at Uminya.

"This must be the prospective daughter-in-law of Umi who was talked about by Yusuf this morning".

This time, Anin was unable to hide her shock.

WHAT????

MANTU CANDIDATE???

I'M NOT WRONG, AM I???

Anin was still with full consciousness holding back her shock. But a second later...

"Loe phedofil, huh?? A rich kid wants to be a wife??"

This again...

Who wants to be married to whose wife??

Anin was getting dizzy hearing this unrelenting talk. The woman he had thought would be 11:12 with him was even involved, in agreement with what his mother said.

"Have you mbak. Ngatain Phedofil's brother. She's the same age as Ifa".

Yusuf responded to a question from which he could confirm that he was his brother Mas Yusuf. While the one who asked just chuckled because he felt successful in teasing his sister.

"Known... This IS ANINDIYA ANASTASYA KAMIL".

Anin immediately turned to look at Yusuf who looked back at him with a charismatic smile that was ready to kill the nerves of shame every woman who saw him because she did not want even a second to lose the smile. He memorized the long name of Anin.

It's Anin...

Mas Yusuf is your superior.It is only natural that he knows and happens to want a long name loe...

Anin did not know why she chose to speak in her heart. But Joseph introduced Anin as his future wife before his family. The boisterous voice of gratitude from the family seemed to echo. Anin doesn't know what to do. He immediately nodded with the family who looked very warm while greeting one by one people in the living room. And especially for the man who bore an absolute resemblance to Joseph, Anin kissed the back of the hand.

"Waahhh. That's why I don't want to mate, I already have my own beautiful choice that kog".

Once again, Anin felt like her heart was jumping out of place. But on the other hand there is a sense of pleasure, if it turns out Yusuf memillihnya as a prospective wife.

But why am I the one who's his future wife??

Didn't Mas Yusuf already have his own candidate who had long been engaged??

That thought still stuck in Anin's brain. Some time ago, Joseph said he was not married. But not married does not mean breaking up from his fiancee dong. Now she must be confused with the event of her introduction as the future wife of Joseph. The person who just returned in his life who managed to make a lot of surprises. Surprised that Joseph was not married, many changes in the nature of Joseph were difficult to catch by Anin and now Joseph made him as a prospective life partner.

What kind of fate is this, O God...
