WHOSE SIDE
4: Stranger (Pov zera)

the car that we rented to take us to the grandmother's house had stopped in front of a beautiful spacious house with 5 motorcycles and 3 parked cars.It must have been the aunt, the, and my cousins have come since.

“Assalamu’alaikum.” mother says hello when entering grandmother's house. Everyone in the house returned the greeting.

”Wa’alaikumussalam.”

.”Come here and here join, it has been eagerly awaited from earlier you know.”Aunt Yuri smiled happily to see us coming.

"It's Zera?! waduh..it's big huh? wow, it is suitable to get married" said Aunt Ana. This aunt has a very slippery mouth.

"Have you eaten?" aunty Yuri asked me. I nodded in response.

"Where's mom?" ask mom.

"In her room, I just went in" said Aunt Ana. mother walked away from me and went into my grandmother's room. Aunt Yuri, she told me to sit next to her along with her boy.

"David?!" I said I was surprised to see Aunt Yuri's son David she looked nervous seeing me.

"David! Salim is Zera's brother" Aunt Yuri told David.

I immediately moved to sit next to David and curled his head in a fit of anxiety.

"sister Zera ish!" he said he was detached from me. David is my brother's cousin my favorite.when I was in elementary school I had to go and go home with him. I was in 6th grade and he was still in 1st grade.

David is a typical introverted child.Why is he a favorite sister?, because he is like an OCD. must be neat, perfect, and clean especially.I am always anxious, and, often I teased this child until it was crying, and after the incident at that time with sadness my mother and I moved out of the house. since then I never met him.

"You talk first, Auntie wants to go to the kitchen first" said Aunt Yuri you left us both there.

"How areyou? in school it's not disturbing, is it?" my question is, he shook his head.

"There used to be no brother I was depressed, but over time I was used to it" he said.

"Thank God, what class is it now?"

"Still in ninth grade Junior High School, no good High School recommendation?" tanyakanya. David has OCD plus smart.

"Favorite SMA, but all the High School is the same actually. which you should think is not the school, but after the graduation later.what will it be after graduation?what's up?" I said seriously.he nodded in understanding.

"do you work?" tanyakanya.

"as always, being an illegal teacher around the house. hahaha.." I laughed.

"Gue hope Lo can be by my side continue brother stupid very dah Lo keep jail to me than I was lonely" he said sounding sad. I pat her head gently, dear.

"Pity my sister, but there is still Dimas" I said.

In this case the son of Aunt Ana. know you guys. her mother is so let alone her son. both face two, do not know also if her face is a lot.

"The hundred-face devil doesn't fit my prince.I'm a good fit, Lo, my maid" she said in a resentful tone.I laughed at her frustration.

"Si*lan Lo! why am I a maid" I said annoyed.he laughed.

"Just my brother to the bathroom first Lo do not go anywhere" he said he immediately hurriedly went to leave me alone.not really there is a kok om I same my other cousins. but it seems like they are busy chatting alone.The faces of the guests invited by grandma immediately showed great suspicion to me.

'Do you know how I came here? where I'm in living alone', my mind is upset.

"Zera, grandma wants to talk to you" said Aunt Ana who just came out of the grandmother's room.

'aren't you? there must be something in my mind. Then I got up from there and rushed into Grandma's room.

THE CZECH!

Once inside it turns out there is my mother and grandmother there.I sat beside the grandmother's bed. Then grandma grasped my hand, either immediately my feeling suddenly not good.

"Zera" Grandma called in a soft tone.

I smiled briefly at her words.

"do you have a boyfriend..?" ask grandma suddenly.

"Yet, why granny..?" askaku.

"Thank God if not, so look at it. Your grandmother and mother intend to match you with a man who happens to be this man is also looking for a companion to his life."

JEDAR!!

How the lightning appeared during the day.I was in shock with Grandma's words.

"This man guarantees one hundred percent grandmother has a good selection of grandmothers. ranging from lips, bebet, and weights.he has fulfilled everything.—"

"Wait first! butwhy? I mean give you a clear reason why grandma acts like this..?" Cut me.

"You're 22 years old, aren't you? you also have not got a job.grandmother knows it is difficult to find a job in this day and age.for that than you are hard-earned to find a job here and there but no results, mending you married. who knows after you get married later your life will change.You can so raise your mother's degree.and another one. Grandma also wants to see you married before this grandmother is gone. grandma wants to see also the grandchild of your child later." explained grandma.

I clap his hands off of me, though,

"Sir, I'm young and don't worry about me still not working Grandma can just as easily match." I said starting to get angry.

"Zera! It's polite of you to say the same old man!" snapped mother defending grandmother who was very clear her son was denigrated.

"Young how? Zera, the girl who is the same age as you already have children all. You are no longer a child anymore. Sorry if grandma offends you about work. you even though you work or not work in the future you will also get married, right? this is what is called the life of Zera. grandma can talk like this, grandma has also been in your position.—"

"and look now. Grandma is happy, has children, has grandchildren.all goes well.grandmother does not want you and your mother to live a hard life continuously, so people talk because her children are this way. do you want to live like this? didn't you?" obviously grandma is long.

I looked at my mother who looked sad listening to our conversation.

'Si*lan' My mind is upset.

"Mother, how?" I'm serious. Mom looks at me like she's hesitating.

'I beg you to refuse' My mind hopes that you don't agree.

"Mommy agrees, it's true what your grandmother said. This mother is old Ra. mother also wants this mother's child to get married, live happily with her small family later. I don't want anything enough for you to get married is enough for happy mothers" said the mother looks sad.

"But.—"

GECK.. GECK!

THE CZECH!!

The door to the room is open, please,

mother immediately stood up and welcomed the person who was cutting my conversation.grandmother, I saw as light as saying a king. whereas I was silent did not want to see who came.

"Sorry to wait a long time,"...

"No problem, here sit down. oh introduce this is Zera's mother and this is Zera" said the grandmother introduced myself and my mother.

"please sit here" said the grandmother telling the man to sit next to her, directly opposite me.

mom sat back next to me. Grasping my hand.

"this is my granddaughter whom I told you and your family about" my grandmother said.

"Hai Zera, introduce my name Dawn" said the man sitting across from me, extending his hand towards me.

I looked at him silently without even realizing it. He seemed misbehaved at my silence.

"I'm sorry my granddaughter is a bit shy" my grandmother said, feeling uncomfortable with my attitude.

"It doesn't matter I understand" said Fajar.

"If you may know, what age is dawn?" ask my mother politely.

"26 Aunty" answered the friendly dawn.

"You know what his job is? he works in the office so the director is young, smart, and handsome again.is not that the director?" seduce grandma.

"Grandmother can, but I am mediocre" said the dawn slightly reddened his face.

'Munafic?! tell me if my mind is upset.

GECK... GECK....

Aunty Yuri showed up, "The mother of the show is about to start" said Aunt Yuri.

"Oh yeah let's get it all out" said the grandmother she woke up with in the help of Aunt Yuri and my mom.

******************

At 19:30 Wib...

The event is over. It is time to eat a meal while chatting with the guests present, but not me.

I was just sitting in the corner, thinking about what I had just experienced. Matchmaking was completely unthinkable to me.

my arrival to this house is a bad luck*lan that always happens to me. I'm stuck here wanting to feel like I'm burning this house.

"May I sit here?" dawn Permission to me. I nodded lazily.

"The other one's talking, why are you sitting here alone?" tanyakanya.

I let out a rough sigh, "Then why are you here too? instead of talking to each other" I said turning the conversation around.

"Because I see you here alone so I accompany you." he replied. I was silent no matter.

"How old are you?" tanyanya looking for topics of conversation.

"Didn't my grandmother tell me so much about you and your family? why are you still asking?" askaku.

"B.no, I just want to know the answer from your own mouth" he said a little unsightly.

"So you doubt my grandmother?"

"T.no-no, I believe him" he was nervous to death.

I sighed to myself, "What has my grandmother told me about you and your family?" this time I asked without looking at him.

"Your daily activities, your work, your age, that's all" replied dawn.

"After that you how? moreover, you have seen me. You are also a director, yes time choose a wife who does not work, ugly, fat, how do others say later?" I said flat.

he chuckled, "How do you think? After I heard the story from your grandmother and came here to look at you." this time he turned to ask me.

I turned towards him and our eyes met, "You're interested in me" I said straightforwardly.

he smiled happily, hearing my answer.

"Right, I was attracted to you from the beginning of your grandmother's story" she said.

"Why are you interested? isn't a director like you very young looking for a companion, maybe you can get a better companion than me"

suddenly he pulled out his phone and gave it to me.

"Give me your phone number let's meet the two to get to know each other better.how?" I took her phone and thought for a while before typing my phone number.

"I will give but that does not mean I accept you. We are both just acquainted, how?" challenge me. she nodded in agreement. afterwards to type my mobile number for the first time I gave the number to a stranger.

after typing the number, I returned the phone.he looked happy.

"Thank you," he said sincerely.I nodded slowly.

SERIATE...
