WHAT ABOUT ME?
78

The morning had come, I sat pensively on the porch, waiting for the presence of Judah. Mother came to bring a medium-sized paper bag, it contained a traditional cake that I bought from a neighbor of the house.

"don't be discouraged, hopefully after today's meeting, Nek Ida can bless you, " said mother soothing.

I nodded my head this morning, early in the morning I had woken up Mother because I wanted to ask permission to visit Grandma Ida, I have also told all my heartbreak when Judah said that the grandmother did not approve of our relationship.

"just meet first, later you will get the answer directly, "that's the word that my mother said when I felt less confident.

A few minutes waiting, Yuda finally arrived in the courtyard by using the car he had brought yesterday.

After saying goodbye to mother, we immediately headed to the residence of Nek Ida in the city.

In the car, I couldn't calm down, my mind wandered back, worried that what I was thinking was coming true.

after a long journey due to traffic jams, we finally arrived at the home of Nek Ida.

Yuda clasped my hands trying to give strength, "you take it easy, I guarantee everything will go as we expect, "he said.

I nodded, trying to eliminate the nervousness that arrived suddenly whack.

Yuda knocked on the door, and soon an art opened the door and invited us in.

for a long time we waited to sit on the sofa, but Grandma Ida did not come out, Yuda also finally took the initiative to follow the grandmother into the house.

I was still sitting anxiously, squeezing my fingers to relieve the nervousness.

"grandmother still does not give you blessing, Yuda. grandma has chosen a suitable candidate for you, grandma guarantees you will also like the girl choice of grandmother, " there was a faint sound of Nek Ida talking to Yuda.

"but Yuda is affectionate and in love with the chosen girl, Yuda, Nek. granny do not be selfish dong, Yuda is an adult, can make her own choice, "yuda protest

"why are you being so stubborn like this, Yuda. grandma just wants to give the best for you, grandma guarantees, grandma's choice must be right for you, "grandmother joked

"alright, but at least meet him first grandma, pity him, "cloak Yuda.

"well, grandma's coming out, but don't force grandma to give you your blessing, okay? "

After that no longer heard prickly shoes from inside. My heart is getting hotter, it hurts when a relationship that almost stepped into the pelaminan precisely in about by the person we love.

looks Yuda back, overtaking me in the living room with a tangled face, but a second later he changed his expression to warm and smiled widely.

While Grandpa Ida, came a few seconds as soon as Judah sat beside me.

I immediately stood up when I saw Grandma Ida emerge from behind the door, smiling warmly and greeting her.

"assalamu'alaikum, Grandma, "greet me.

Nek Ida who had not looked at me immediately turned her head, she looked surprised and hurriedly came to me.

"why visiting grandma, you don't miss grandma, how many years haven't come here, grandma misses you, " she said while patting my back.

I took off my arms, and looked at the old woman before me with glassy eyes.

"Jasmin is also very upset with grandma, "

"who are you here for, don't say that" Grandma's words stopped and looked around.

"so you, his future wife, Yuda? "

I momentarily fell silent, then nodded doubtfully, in response.

"astaga, forgive grandma yes son, you must have heard the words of the same grandmother Yuda earlier. grandma really does not know if you are the future wife of Judah, if grandma knows, if grandma knows, it's been since the beginning grandma bless you. sorry grandma yes, "

I gawked, how could it be, did Grandma Ida already have a prospective grandchild, but why after seeing me, Grandma Ida was just like this.

"doesn't grandma already have a candidate for Judah huh, Grandma? " ask me doubt

Nek Ida nodded, her old face smiling warmly at me, "the girl is you, son, "he said.

Judah who had been sitting and watching us immediately got up from his seat

"meaning grandma? " tanyanya

"yes, Jasmine, the candidate that my grandmother has prepared for you, " replied Grandma Ida

"that means grandma? "

"yes, grandma bless you, and right, Jasmine was the one who had accompanied grandma for 3 years before she decided to go out of town, "

"so the sweet girl that grandmother meant, Jasmine. why not say from the first she was grandma, you know that Yuda can often come home here, "the grumpy Yuda looks annoyed.

nek Ida approached the grandson and gave a pinch to his stomach. "didn't you say yourself, if you were waiting for your schoolmate and wouldn't look at anyone? "

Yuda scratched his nape, feeling wrong, "yes too, but why did I not know that Jasmine had lived here, huh? though, if lebaran, I often go home?" muttered

"you go home, he also goes back to the village, we are how the hell, "grunts grandma.

Finally that morning we laughed and laughed at Yuda's confused behavior.

That day we enjoyed being together, telling stories and spending time together.

not to forget, I also gave a parcel from Mother to Nek Ida, which is a cucumber cake.
