WEDLOCK
Restu Mother

"Sorry to interrupt before. Did you say that Yusuf's son is your third son??"

"Yes mom. What's the matter??"

Umi seemed curious about the purpose of the question.

"But for this application event, it may have to be delayed first. Or rather, just cancel it".

Everyone was shocked. Including Abi and Anin who did not expect that Mother would say this blatantly.

Is it because of this weird myth????

Inner Anin while holding shame. Because what is rejected now is not just anyone. He is Joseph. The one who has the highest power in his office today. Maybe even he is a person who has even higher power that Anin had not imagined. And maybe tomorrow, could be his last day at work. Get ready to be 'PHK IMPAKAN'.

O Allah. do not get the Mother really talk about it..

"Your son is child number three, while Anin himself, our son is the first child in this family. I don't want to give up my son. It sounds ridiculous, but for this one, I still believe in the myth".

PLAKKIS...

And it turns out to be true. Mother still believes the myth, making Anin's body weak have heard it. Abi immediately gave a sharp look to Mother. And the others just scrunched their eyebrows a sign of not understanding. Perhaps now, the family of Joseph would think that his family, more precisely his mother was still colossal. Automatically makes Anin prepare to lose the prospective husband he really hopes for. Anin wish(??).

***

In the car, Rizal had no confidence in what he had just heard. In an age that has been sophisticated and if seen from the outside, the family is like other common families. But it turns out, Anin's family, more precisely Anin's mother still believes in superstition that is not clear as described earlier.

"His father had said that his family did not bring too much Javanese custom, uh even his mother who was half-dead rich so.."

Fortunately, at this time there are Abi and Umi, automatically all his swear is not all out.

Abi and Umi could only quietly respond to the thing that had just been. It is a fact that boys, the only one of Anata Dhyaksa's family has been rejected outright without further ado or consideration of the fact that Joseph is the superior of his daughter who can immediately remove Anin from the family his company. And maybe even worse, Anin will be blacklisted from the company because of so many connections from the Dhyaksa family. But that won't be possible. Dhyaksa's family is still sane enough to easily cut off someone's sustenance. Moreover, someone is Anin whose ability does not need to be doubted anymore.

While the person who just rejected his application, also the same as Abi and Uminya. Silence without a word. Kaya wrong song title of her Indonesian ballad band. But Joseph's silence became a big question mark for Uminya. Now the expression on Joseph's face became something that no one could read. He only supported his chin while occasionally leaning his head against the car seat.

"Yusuf, what did you say to her sister Anin??"

Finally Umi ventured to open a conversation with Yusuf. Rizal couldn't possibly get Joseph to speak, he wanted Joseph to express what he felt for himself. Even if he also came to terms with what was on Joseph's mind at this time.

"There's nothing kog, Umi".

Yusuf answered briefly by saying 'There is nothing', it is enough to be the answer to Umi that there is actually an important thing that now exists in Joseph's mind, but Joseph himself did not want to reveal it to others. Including to Uminya herself.

"Dek... loe still continue with the same intention to make Anin as loe's wife??

Ask Rizal who finally did not feel the same as the taste of his kepony. Even Joseph's situation was much worse now than when Joseph had to break up with his fiancee.

"What do you mean, Mas??"

Joseph pressed his voice. He tried to hold back his emotions that were currently jumbled rich in mixed ice.

"No need to explain what I mean, right??"

Rizal immediately vows to save the peace in the car. Now, his position is in the driving section. So automatically he had to concentrate on the peaceful situation. Although now the situation in the car feels hot like the AC in the car is damaged.

"Gue never messed with my decision".

The answer was enough for everyone in the car that Joseph was still fighting for his intention to marry Anin. Abi made no comment at all. Like this, he became more and more convinced that Joseph was indeed a photocopy of himself, Abinya. Stubborn, not easy to guess and never mess with what is related to his life. Seeing Joseph's temperament as it is now, it would be much better to let Joseph think for himself what he should do. After all, this marriage that will live it is Joseph and his future wife. As a parent, Abi can only wish her son the best.

*Flashback ON

"Mas Joseph??"

Either Arwi wants to call or wants to ask. And the owner of the name turned towards the voice that called his name. In the face of the man who is likely to have become 0.0000000.1% it becomes his sister-in-law.

"Can I talk to you for a second??"

Joseph then looked at Rizal and Rizal knew the signal sent by Joseph. He and Abi and Umi rush to their car. Joseph was in front of Arwi.

"Gue won't talk".

Arwi said to look into the house. He could see that now the one in the living room lived mbak Ningsih who cleaned up the drinks and food that the owner just left behind.

"Gue can be sure that Anin's mother is someone who should be made in the fight. Especially loe Mas. But don't get me wrong, mbak Anin it's not not doing it. But he's a plywood so stiff. That's why he hasn't married".

Joseph raised an eyebrow that made Joseph's good looks even more, even though the current on his face indicates that he is not good. It feels that Arwi also wants to curse in the heart, why the egotism of his sister-in-law can beat the charm that fans say his girl is making people diabetic. But the prospective sister-in-law is making people instantly lumer lho so hot her.

Back to the problem.

"One day, you'll also understand what I just said".

Arwi replied increasingly ambiguous which clearly makes Joseph only understand one thing. That he had to fight for Anin and strengthen his intentions, because this was probably only the beginning and God had prepared a more beautiful destiny later.

"From now on I believe that Anin is the same as Loe mas..."

Imbuh Arwi patted Joseph on the shoulder. And it needs to be inget, Arwi even though the beginning of his meeting with Joseph he uses language that is high level of subtlety to be as level as he is chatty, but if he already knows the person, but if he already knows the person, the language goes straight to its normal mode. LOE-GUE PARK. The ales are simple, because Arwi does not want to have a distance and wants more deck. Just that's.

Honestly for today, Yusuf was a little grateful because at least he had gained the trust of Arwi completely. His father-in-law was also at the end of the messy family meeting had also given his blessing freely to Joseph. Anin who had defended him but had to stop because of a small clash from her mother, making Anin successful to stay silent. Honestly what Anin had done made her happy, at least there was hope for her to fight for her intention to marry Anin. And now, there's a mother-in-law left that she needs to conquer.

"Thank you, you've supported me..."

"I'm sorry about Mother's attitude.. Mommy is just overprotective just like Anin. The girls' bias..."

Arwi tries to calm Joseph down now. Because he's also a guy, he knows what it's like to be rejected. And this is not just a rejection of love, but a rejection of a proposal. Although Arwi is indeed rada sableng, but Arwi is still quite sane and never thought that marriage is a mess. It was one of the things that had secretly become a principle in his life.

And Joseph left Arwi immediately. Arwi drove Yusuf up to the fence of his house and saw the car brought by the family Joseph had turned left out of their residential alley.

My feeling is not wrong...

Maybe it's time for Anin to fight instead of fighting alone...

*Flashback OFF

***

Today, it may have been 3 days Anin to the office with a disheveled look. Not the style of Anin who went to work still looks cute even though Anin also does not think too much about what he wears, but at least he will always bring his best mood when working.

Franda who always thought of Anin as a moodmaker also felt strange with Anin. Whatever Anin is, he's not the badmood type. Mood again good, for everyone will step back one step if Anin has protested if there are files that are not in accordance with his wishes. Especially if badmood is rich in gini. Directly fly maybe ye times.

And currently only Franda was able to get close to Anin.

"Anin.. yuk mumpung street is still afternoon gini".

Yeah, their office hours were over an hour ago. But Franda had just finished the job Anin had given her. But the one who was invited to talk was still playing the ballpoint pen on the table.

"Have you asked Riki for permission??"

Finally Anin turned her attention to Franda who she knew that her invitation only wanted to know what Anin had in mind right now.

"Udah.. Rajian mas Riki is also out of town taking care of the project".

Answer Franda honestly. She is a typical wife who is very obedient with her husband, although sometimes she ngeyel also if they again differ. So before Anin agreed to Franda's invitation, he asked Riki's permission for Franda. Understandably, Riki gets Franda is not easy and it happens that Anin is a third party who helps the married couple to get married.

They were in their favorite seats as they enjoyed the Cappuccinno and Americano in front of them, plus the donuts they gave away for free when they bought the drinks. What is certain is that the owner of the unsweetened Americano is the one who again enjoys his excitement these few days.

"Have you bought the doughnuts??"

Tanya Franda put down her HP replying to the chat from her husband. He just reminded his best friend to buy his favorite donut before his mood today got uglier because only he forgot to buy donuts.

Anin only shows plastic that already contains one box of donuts with various flavors. They enjoy being in silence. Added to the atmosphere outside which shows the successful rain spots make the air in Solo City cool.

"Loe what's been going on lately?? I'm really rich in clothes not ironing??"

The words just slipped from Franda's lips, because she had been holding back her ke-kepo-san ever since Anin changed her attitude like now. Cooler than Anin whose nerve of care has been broken. But all he asked was stirring the drink before him with a straw while he drank.

"Gue seriously Anin. Loe's not the kind of person who thinks so much".

After a few minutes there was no answer. Finally Anin sighed and threw it away slowly. He knew that it was also futile that he hid what was in his mind now from Franda. They have known since High School and continue to be in touch until now.

"Something happened..."

Answer Anin slowly. Franda tried to be patient with what Anin would say next. If Anin behaves like this, it can be ascertained that he himself has not found the right solution to the problems he faces.

"The mother rejected Mas Yusuf's proposal..."

At once Franda also directly knitted her sitting position. He tried to pinch his hand until it was red, not believing what he had just heard. But in reality, what Anin had just said was indeed reality.

"Wait... Kog can mas Yusuf nglamar you?? Trus Mommy you refuse?? On what basis do you try??"

For now the level of kepo-an from Franda has indeed reached the outer atmosphere of the Earth.

"Trus when did you officially enter into your relationship?? You are adem-adem aja..."

Imbuh Franda who was guessed by Anin if the expression of Franda will be like this.

"Gue kog is really a bad friend of loe. I don't think I know anything about Loe..."

"Gue was also wrong because from the beginning I did not tell you about this, because I was also confused about the same thing that happened with me lately".

"Trus Aunt Sara??"

"When Mother herself also knows that I have been waiting for this for a long time. But do not know it was immediately damaged so just after knowing that Mas Yusuf was the third child while I was the first child".

"So Aunt still believes it's just as rich??"

"I swear, I think even if you live in Java, but I always see that the loe family is not a rich family that brings Javanese customs in your life. You are a modern family. Moreover, you also have lived in Jakarta".

"Work until today I am so grateful".

Oiya, Franda forgot, who was rejected by her proposal from Anin. Own boss.

"Gue also does not know, why even complicated rich gini. Since then, Mommy has been the same as me. Yes, I was told to go find another job".

"Why does Trus Loe want it??"

This time Franda did not want to concern her work and Mother Anin. He just wanted to know what was on Anin's mind right now about this matter. As far as Franda is concerned, Anin is her straight, realistic, relaxed child with her life, especially about love. If he doesn't get A, he can get B. Even when releasing that A, Anin needs time to lose it and return to her real life. The proof is that when Franda married and Anin was in a hurry to get married, in fact, Anin was still waiting for one person and thinking more about his career than his personal life.

"Loe knows my position right now, Fran??"

Yep.. Franda already knew that this was the moment Anin had hoped for long ago. Asked by someone who was very difficult to evict him from Anin's heart. JOSEPH.

"Well, how does it look?? He wants to fight you or not?? I've had a long drama show that still waiting for only one".

"Gue does not want to be tired in the end because what you wait is even further for you to wait".

Anin only sighed hearing the answer from Franda.

"Loe really sure the same sir-eh mean Mas Yusuf??"

Franda was used to calling Joseph 'Sir'. But it turns out the question is just a question that will never have an answer.

"You only know what you want. Love exists not only because of love but because you need it. Need the person to complete the love and now the person you need to complete the love loe it should you wait no longer??"

Franda was too tired with the FTV story from Anin who had always waited for Joseph and closed his heart tightly to anyone. But the one in wait is also actually not clear to the one waiting.

"Oiya, another one I forgot. Not that you ever tell me that Mas Yusuf has a fiance even rich already married. So because of that, you stopped being Mas Yusuf's stalker??"

Franda had almost forgotten a fact she had not updated.

Answer Anin as she is. Because that is what he knows.

Franda just nodded. He did not want to ask about it anymore, because it was painful for Anin as she waited for Joseph. But even those who are waiting already have.

"Well, how do I think I should??"

Anin finally opened her voice after a few minutes of silence.

"Gue believes in loe, Nin. You know better what's best for you even for me".

Franda answered with a smile that added to the volume of her bakpa cheeks. It raised a little bit of Anin's piquing to pinch Franda and successfully made the owner look at her with a ready gaze to prey on her at any time. It made Anin laugh successfully since these few days he could only talk as soon as needed.

Franda was a little relieved. At least, even though he could not provide a solution for Anin, but at least Anin was willing to share the taste that he should share so that the burden was slightly reduced.

***

Today for some reason, Joseph arrived at the market. Though the clock shows at 8:00, the time for him to enter work. He is indeed a director at his company, but the rules still apply to anyone without exception. Joseph chose to carry out his mission today. The mission may be only 1% success, while the rest he can only leave everything to God.

While carrying notes from his second brother, Mey, he had to be willing to shop first. Mei was too ignorant to her younger brother until the heart told him to shop for food at home.

"Fish.. Carrots.. Broccoli..."

Yusuf muttered with the shopping list in his hand. Soon she was shopping. Not forgetting the bargaining action. Needless to say, Joseph had this experience when he decided to open a restaurant, even though he only walked half a year, because he was busy with a thesis that drained his mind and energy.

Cleverly he did forget a little about the location of the place of sale. Now there are bananas.

"Eh.. This is what kind of banana??"

Joseph was confused by the grocery list that mentioned bananas. Bananas are only to be eaten normally or made into other foods.

"Bodo very dah if rich gini. his fault Mbak Mei herself who gaje".

Yusuf grumbled while carrying the groceries he had obtained.

As Joseph searches for the location where the banana seller is, he meets someone he wants to meet and he fears. Mother Anin.

*Flashback ON

From : Arviv K. Camillon

Mas, skrg Mother lg k psr. By ourselves.

Joseph who early in the morning concluded the tie, a little surprised to get a chat from Arwi. She did have Arwi tell her anything about her mother plus if her future sister-in-law had a good plan for her. But what is it about the mother who goes to the market.

To : Arwi K. Camillon

Why don't you do nganterin??

No pity on Mother herself??

Across the street, the man who is now Joseph's secret agent, is a bit of a hustle. Why the feedback from Joseph is even as he reads today. With a little annoyance he typed the message with a clear explanation.

To: Yusuf Dhyaksa

Dad, males nganterin Mommy klu Mother blm ksh restu..

I'm sorry, I have a lecture at 10

Trus mb.ningsih lg 3 days off

Try susulin Mother cake, ksh image so cool.

To : Arwi K.Kamil

Okay, Ty..

Joseph answered briefly after reading an explanation from Arwi. He did not expect that Arwi was easily invited to cooperate like now. He immediately called Hendi to reschedule his activities today. He must not waste the opportunity that Arwi has given him for free. He also decided to put his tie into his bag, so that his appearance is not too flashy when on the market later. He came down the stairs to the dining table. There were Didit, May and her 2 nephews, Rafa and Bayu. Mei who saw something different with Joseph immediately questioned him with a probing look. Ever since he heard that his sister's proposal had been rejected, he saw that Joseph had become more silent. But for today, Joseph put a face behind it. Face Over Happy. Plus he's not in fashion to work.

"Where are you going, deck?"

Mei asked who saw that Joseph had taken the wheat bread before him.

"The work is mbak. Was I on a picnic??"

Joseph answered while applying Nutella to his bread.

"With that rich makeup??"

He saw that Joseph was still using his work style. But now that the tie that usually hangs around his neck, he doesn't see. Plus a suit that only he's about.

"There's a secret mission??"

Didit who had listened to the conversation of his wife and sister-in-law, only frowned. Honestly, there was a little bit of worry about Joseph. Although Joseph was not a typical person who would do strange things as he thought now.

"I mean??"

"Gue's going to the office, Mas. But first, I'm going to the market..."

Joseph used a different language between his brother and his brother-in-law. If her brother she still uses I-KAMU language, because it is a custom in her family. As for his brother-in-law, especially to Luqman who was the same age as him, he used LOE-GUE. Let it be more relaxed.

"Hahh, rascal?? Why did you hit the market first??"

Mei doesn't believe that her sister's goal is to. He thought that Joseph would go somewhere that would calm his mind now, as was his habit when he faced problems in his life.

"Said there's a secret mission kog. Do you think I want to change jobs to become a vegetable seller??"

"Do you really want to go black??"

This time Joseph nodded his head. She did not want to answer questions from her brother that might be able to continue until tomorrow.

"When is that nitip shopping?? Actually mbak also want to shop alone, but you happen to want to go to market, yes mending mbak nitip aja. It's good to be at home cleaning the house".

"Jaelah. The mode is so people. Most clean-up also mbok Inem. Pake pretentious to clean the house".

"Just buy it, don't take it. Or if you don't want to, it's up to you if you want to go back and forth Jogja-Solo".

Threaten Mei who immediately scolded Yusuf. The reason for Yusuf to stay at home, because he was lazy had to go back and forth between his house in Jogja with his work in Solo.

"Yes, yeah.. NUDE.."

Joseph left immediately after finishing his breakfast. Not to forget he kissed his 2 nephews who had been loyal listeners to his mother and her paklek. And crucified the parents of his nephew.

"Paklek go first yes guys... Assalamualaikum.."

*Flashback OFF

"Assalamualaikum, Mother..."

Joseph approached the Mother and immediately crucified her hand. Not to forget he kissed the back of the hand of the person who was the target of the secret mission. Mission gets Mother's blessing. Joseph also did not hesitate to call his mother Anin Anin with the name Mother as Anin called his mother, to add the impression that he really intended to be his daughter-in-law. Put up a wall, probably an option for Joseph at this time. Yang in greeting was a little surprised by the presence of the figure he rejected a while ago. Didn't know they had met in a place like this. In MARKET.

"Goddessalam..."

Mother is still trying to answer the greeting even if it is from someone who may directly change her mood. The first one was upset because no one accompanied him to the market. Second, be upset by the price of his shopping list which is mostly on the rise. And now it is sad plus annoyed to be mixed into one for meeting with Joseph. The face of the boy who wants to marry his girl is indeed making adem for now, proven because from now on all the mothers in the market will definitely observe Joseph, but not for Mother. His heart was growing bigger.

"Mother here want to shop??"

The absurd question of Joseph just came out.

It is to the market to shop, the time yes Mother wants to go to the condition..

It seemed that Joseph wanted to plop his own cheek to wake himself up. If rich ginin continues when the mission succeeds.

"What are you shopping for yourself??"

Ask Mommy trying to be nice. At least, his son is still given the opportunity to work without worrying about what has happened.

"This, mbak Mei tell nyari Fish the same. Don't know what to do".

This time Joseph was clear. Yes, it was clear that she was shopping because she was told by her brother.

"Have you finished the shopping?? I want to buy some chilli first. Excuse me"

Looks like the judges mode from Anin's mother is back. Now Joseph also realized, where did Anin get his judes nature. So from now on, Joseph had to prepare himself to withstand the abuse of his future wife. In fact, he just left Joseph. But Joseph did not give up. Mother also immediately approached the chili seller who had become his subscription. Just like mothers do in the market. Bargaining action that can make the crowd of Afgan concert moved to the market. Even exceed. Joseph did not want to lose either. With the looks of capital, he bid the chili that was indeed on his shopping list with the spirit of 45. If only a young woman could be fascinated with her aura, especially with Mothers. It melts straight away see a handsome guy going to the market. Dream daughter-in-law candidate.

Mother who saw the bargaining action done by Joseph, she slightly remembered with Arwi if she went to accompany him. Unlike Anin who is lazy with muscle pointing action does not want to lose with the seller about the price, Arwi even smartly bidding on items that will be bought by her mother.

"Mother's going out alone??"

Joseph tried to align his steps with Mother. I don't know why he feels good about doing this. Doing something for Anin is certain. There is no answer and Joseph only considers the silence of the Mother as the answer that he was alone. No need to be straightened out with words anymore.

Shortly before the Mother will cross to the other side of the road, Joseph saw there was a motorbike that was carelessly almost hit Mother. In a moment, Joseph pulled on Mother's arm to save her. Fortunately not like in the soap opera that saves precisely who got hit, in real life, all survived.

"Mother is nothing, right??"

Ask Joseph to see the situation of Mother who is actually fine. Although a little pale was printed clearly on Mother's face, it was probably due to the startled effects of what had just happened.

"Back Mother come with Joseph now..."

Joseph immediately took over the groceries from Mother's hand. He immediately put all the groceries in the back seat. Fortunately today he prefers to use his Nissan Juke. So the car he was carrying could hold as much stuff as it is now. Mother also just complies. Mother is still a little shocked, if Joseph is not there or a second late. Mother does not know what will happen to her life.

Joseph gave him the mineral water he had bought before leaving the market, because he was hot. Mother only took a few sips, because the taste of the mineral water was bitter on her tongue.

"Mother really is okay, right?? Or do we need to go to the hospital??"

The Mother did not answer Joseph's question. Now Joseph is really panic, even with physical condition that seems fine, but who knows with deep wounds. Ok, fine, this time Joseph has gone overboard.

"Mother is fine kog. You don't have to worry".

There was a soft and warm voice that Joseph had heard before Mother let out her sarcastic tone rejecting Joseph's proposal.

"Alhamdulillah if that is so. But we go to the hospital before Mother comes home. Afraid that there's nothing??"

"Go ahead, Mommy is fine kog".

Joseph was a little confused as to what he should do now. He had planned to invite Mother to come home with him, but the situation now was clearly different from what was in his imagination.

"What's the reason you proposed to Anin??"

Finally Mother stopped the silence that occurred in the car. And instead asked the thing that made Joseph shocked and happy.

"There was no other reason when I applied for Anin. I proposed to him because I wanted to make him a master in my prayers. I want her to be the mother of my children. I want him to be a complement to the life I live. It sounds common, but that's what comes to my mind".

Joseph answered honestly. He also did not know why he could say such things. Even himself had never told Anin.

"Then what will you promise Anin when she becomes your wife??"

Mother said this by staring at the street in front. He did not want to see the expression of Joseph that he could confirm, if at this time Joseph was thinking hard to answer his question.

"I can't promise anything to Anin. Even the happiness all the time for Anin I can't promise. But one thing I can say for now. I will learn to understand Anin, Mother knows for herself that maybe I am a new person in Anin's life and suddenly asked her to be my wife. But trust me, if I don't let go of Anin no matter what. Because when I married Anin, Anin was one of the reasons I lived up to that point".

I don't know what's on both of their minds. The answer that Joseph had never prepared before when he was confronted with such a question made him speak only what was in his mind. He didn't want to say things he couldn't do. Joseph realized that he did not love Anin, but somehow there was something that made Joseph want to have Anin. Just for himself. It feels selfish, but he tries to give his heart to Anin if Anin becomes his wife. Imagining Anin as his current wife, was fun for Joseph. On the other hand, Joseph also felt to be a bad person, because he forced his desire to Anin who he himself also did not know if Anin already had people he loved. Maybe Anin could not refuse his proposal because he had already been introduced to his family as his future wife. But why back then, Anin also helped her when her mother explained her proposal rejection.

While the Mother who had previously chosen the iron to speak also secretly noticed the attitude of Joseph. There was a tone of seriousness from Joseph as he answered the question he had asked Joseph. The man who proposed to his daughter. Men from good families, more precisely respectable families and have the life that every woman who becomes his wife in the future. But he rejected it outright for reasons that are quite ridiculous, but successfully influenced his decision to reject his application. In addition, now her husband who is still angry with her, Anin who has not contacted her since the incident even Arwi jutek to her even though sometimes still give her attention. But it still feels bland if the warmth that is usually always in the middle of his small family just disappears to be cold as it is now.
