WHAT ABOUT ME?
77
My eyes continued to observe one by one the people who got out of each car.
there were 2 people who seemed to be carrying something in his hand while the person I knew walked in disagreement with the middle-aged couple who were getting closer and closer to home.
Seen Mother came in contact with a clear scraping bag in her hand.just after finishing the steamed yam, mother said if going to the stall for a while to buy cooking oil.
"that, son Yuda why bring the troupe here, brother? " ask the mother who was standing in front of me.
Yes, he is Judah, the man I was looking for in the morning but never gave any news.
"assalamu'alaikum." I did not have time to answer, the entourage of Judah had reached the terrace. Judah came along with his parents and 2 strangers carrying his luggage.
"wa'alaikum... "
"wah, mbak Ayu, mas Bagas.how are you? " ask the friendly mother.
"well mbak, thank God. "the two middle-aged women were like chips-cipiki should meet a friend who had not met for a long time.
"let's go in first, let's go ahead... "
Now that we had been sitting neatly in the living room, I looked anxious as well as Mom, but mother seemed more like she was curious.
"what's wrong, Yuda? why so many people? " ask the curious mother, and so do I.
Wait, don't tell me what Yuda said yesterday wasn't just bullshit? god, why don't I think long.
"ah yes, I forgot the purpose and purpose of our coming here.so like Hana, as Yuda said yesterday, we came here to propose Jasmine as our wife and daughter-in-law, "aunty Ayu explained.
"right Mbak Hana, we just want to continue the goodwill of our son, because to be honest, we have also matched with son Jasmine. especially yesterday Yuda told me if son Jasmine had experienced a disaster so we did not want to delay any longer.It is better we immediately marry the two of them, so that son Jasmine also has to take care of, " connect om Bagas.
I was very astonished, it turns out that Yuda's speech yesterday was not kidding, he wanted to marry me immediately.
"alhamdulillah, that's all, I leave it to both mbak Ayu, mas Bagas. when they are ready, because married not only for one or two days but for life, " said Mother
I say goodbye to Mom, to go to the back, make my guests drink.
In the kitchen there are Naila and Vidya who look at me with smiles, I am sure if my two friends have heard everything that the Yuda family has said.
"you guys are nagging, huh? " ask me full of searching
the two chuckled, "whimper to the room, Jas. yes already, we join the horror dong! " excite Naila
"cie, who wants to get married." Vidya's tease.
"you guys, habit... " I shook my head slowly, continuing my intention to make tea and coffee.
I nodded, thanked him and then brought him back to the front.
In the living room, it appears that Mother and aunt Ayu saljng chatted warmly, talking about the time when she was still living here.
I put 5 cups of tea on the table and allowed them to drink it.
actually, Yuda came here with 4 people, both his parents and two people who had brought his goods, but the two people immediately paid their respects after their work was completed.
After the serious talk was over, both of Judah's parents decided to visit his grandfather's house, while Yuda chose to stay because there was something he wanted to tell me.
Now Yuda and I have been sitting on the porch, while Naila and Vidya say goodbye because it is late afternoon.
speechless, enjoying the afternoon breeze, staring at the little children who were running in the streets. I glanced at Yuda who was apparently also glancing at me.
"I thought yesterday you were joking, Jud, "
"no, I seriously want to marry you. I actually want it, today we are married, as I said yesterday, but mother refused on the grounds that there was no preparation, but I did not want to marry you, and also worried that you are not ready to marry me, let alone impromptu. that's why today they just wave me to you, "he explained.
"why not tell? if I had known, you would have come with mom and dad, I would have prepared everything, "
"i don't want you to fuss, especially after yesterday, I don't want to burden you, "
I nodded in understanding, after that, I went back to tell about Rania who visited the house this morning and asked me to withdraw the charges against her husband.
but apparently the heart of Judah is not that generous, he refused hard after I finished telling the story, he would ask that Haris in the law weighing heavy in order to give a deterrent effect for him.
I stroked his arm slowly so that he would not get more emotional, talking about Haris, was tantamount to provoking Yuda's emotions.

Day
I entered the room, replying to the message that Yuda sent me. A second later, a video call from him made me misbehave.
we talked for almost 30 minutes, talked about many things that made us laugh, and after that, I decided to go to bed first because it was so late at night.
however, after the video call ended, my eyes refreshed, my mind wandered back to remember what Yuda said.
Yuda said that the grandmother did not approve of his relationship with me because she had chosen a future wife for him.
Ah, does Grandma Ida not want to bless us, is it possible that she is embarrassed because she will have a granddaughter-in-law of her former workers?
but Yuda reassured me again, and invited me to visit his grandmother tomorrow morning.
