Nila, who had just slept for a while and just entered the pules phase, was a little confused to open the door and found her brother-in-law in front of her.
Instead of answering Fatma's question, Nila turned back to rub her eyes, then tried to open her eyes wide. Until Fatma joined amused herself and also narrowed her eyes smiling to see Nila who was the face of the pillow.
Even Nila to the point of patting her cheeks.
“Hhh...,” to Fatma immediately snorted cross-seeking at Nila's innocence.
“Kak Fatma? Is this really Fatma?” asked Nila innocently. Although Nila's position as sister-in-law, but because Nila was younger, Nila still called Fatma and Aisyah, Sister.
They also often advise and love Nila as a sister but still respect Nila as a sister.
“Iya..., how did you sleep here? This is the guest room, right? The place where Ummah stayed, right? Umma where?” ask Fatma.
“Hoh? I'm not dreaming?” said Nila was still unconscious, notya answered still dumbfounded and resuscitated.
“Hish....,” hiss Fatma so anxious to Nila, Fatma immediately grabbed Nila's hand.
“I just arrived, Nila, sister-in-law, where's Ummah?” fatma asked and her head looked at the still dark mattress.
“Oh...,” replied Nila instead glanced outside. “Ummi is still sleeping,” replied Nila.
"I'm in! Sana out, that's Kak Aisyah confused want to nginep in the room where the problem is Zainab fussing constantly tuh, there are friends of yours too!” fatma told me.
“Hoo...,” pekik Nila bulged still not connected if the day after tomorrow would want to have an event for her.
Fatma did not want to explain anymore. Fatma went inside, ignored Nila and turned on the lamp to wake her up.
Inevitably Nila came out, in the living room sounded noisy, rame. Her husband had heard chatting with some men whose voices Nila was familiar, but Nila did not want to know who, Nila walked into the living room.
“Ning Nila,” squeal a girl exudes her sparkling face.
Nila was also really glaring with excitement.
“Hai... You guys are coming?” pekik Nila was excited and then approached her friends who seemed to be sitting in a circle on the carpet in front of Tivi. “Yeah why don't you tell me? What time is it?” pekik Nila was happy, sitting down and even directly grabbed the hands of her theme.
They are Nurul, Adiba, Dini and Uli, friends of Nila who became the caretaker of the cottage (Daughter dormitory), they are still partly sitting on the bench Aliyah, and they are still, some of Nila's age attended a nearby campus with a shady bamboo boarding school. Yes, those who still occupy the cottage, and they are the ones who gave Nila 3 years.
“Ssttt... don't be noisy!” someone warned them to walk from the back garden of Rendi behind the glass wall of the middle room.
Apparently Aisyah Rendi's sister was fondling to calm her son who woke up and tantrum in the car.
Nila also smothered her mouth, not long, from the direction of the kitchen bathroom came out mothers, who Nila knew besan Abah. Then Nila glanced near the television there were many items in the large cardboard.
Nila also swallowed her saliva now completely conscious. The Rendi family is really ready everyone to grant Baba's request.
Yes, baba wants to get married as soon as possible, and right beyond the expectations of Rendi and Nila, he said, Abah turned out without being asked either since when he had asked for his santri to manage all the marriage permits KUAnya so there is no need to queue for weeks, weeks.
Nila immediately woke up to welcome and honor Fatma's in-laws and Aisyah's in-laws, who were also nyai from her village.
“Duh prospective bride? So wake up huh? Sorry yes!” guru in-laws Fatma.
“Udah p, with a long time yes?” sahut Aisyah's father-in-law gave Nila a message.
Nila just smiled.
“By old but new bride taste, wong stay in the cottage, her husband back and forth, overseas huh?” replied Fatma's in-laws defending.
Nila also only smiled very gracefully and gently.
“From what time, Nyai? Please rest first, let make a warm drink first,” said Nila politely.
“No need to drink, we want to rest, where do we rest?” ask Fatma's in-laws.
Nila was a little confused because she did not know all the rooms in Rendi's house except Rendi's room, kitchen, Central room, and living room.
“Rest first, Buk, let Nila prepare, he.. because, we think we want to arrive tomorrow,” replied Nila honestly.
“Oh yaya, sorry ya ngerepotin , because the word Fatma in order to rest and prepare everything, so leave today alone,” replied Fatma in-laws defend themselves.
“It's okay, even Nila is not good, so no one has done anything, sit down first, Mom. Mbak Uli, help ya!” said Nila and then coded her friends.
Friends in the cottage are taught to work immediately alertly wake up enliven the besan Abah sitting on the sofa, while they follow the code Nila to the kitchen.
Nila also brought them to the kitchen, apparently in the kitchen of Bu Siti who Rendi asked to stay overnight was boiling water.
“Bu.. These are my friends at the boarding school. Let them help you to drink,” Nila told me.
“How many guests are there? What coffee is the?” ask Bu Siti to santri.
Nila's friends also tell the number, if the male plus driver there are 9, the female 8.
Nila who is already used to being Baba's child many helpers and in Ummi's house there are many picket santri, entrusting Bu Siti and her friends to make a drink. But Nila twisted her finger dizzy herself, she was now the mistress and the host, but confused and did not know what, her guest wanted to be put where?
“Bu Siti, here for a while,” call Nila ask Bu Siti to talk over, Bu Siti nodded letting Nila's friends who made a drink.
“Ya, Non!”
“in this house how many rooms anyway?” whispered Nila to Bu Siti did not want to be embarrassed to her friends own house but did not know the number of rooms.
“Below there are 3 bedrooms, but one is my room, the only one that made Mr. Kyai sleep, then the room next to him, above 3 bedrooms Non!” answer Ms. Siti.
“Udah ready all? There's all the bathrooms, right? Above the same 3 rooms Mas Rendi? What yet?”
“Above yes only the master's room there is a bathroom, the two bathrooms outside near the same workspace Mr. Narrow too? If under only the bathroom used by Mr. Kyai, other near the kitchen, Non,” said Bu Siti explained.
Nila was silent for a moment, scratching her head wrapped in a roped veil. “Means the top is still two, bottom one y:a? The middle space is wide anyway like?” muttered Nila thought.
"In the room yes small Non," said Bu Siti.
"Oh"
Not long after, Rendi's footsteps sounded closer.
“Drink is not yet, Mom?” asked Rendi without stale bosa, to Bu Siti asked for a drink.
Nila and Rendi who were sitting on the chair immediately turned to Rendi, while Rendi stared at Nila's friends who were boiling and preparing cups.
As before, if there was anyone else, Rendi was cold to everything including, Nila. Not greeting Nila, Rendi instead approached Nila's friends past Bu Siti and Nila.
All of Nila's friends bowed their gazes as Rendi came over, and said yes at all her orders.
Nila just quietly sighed while waiting for Rendi to turn around. Nila thought Rendi would greet her and sit down, but as she passed Rendi and Bu Siti, Rendi sauntered around, until Nila tightened her jaw in annoyance.
“Mas!” call Nila at last.
And just now Rendi stopped looking, “Hmm... what?” ask Rendi briefly.
Nila stood up, left Bu Siti and approached Rendi.
Rendi also waited for Nila to speak.
“How is it? How's sleep?” asked Nila with a sad look dizzy the arrival of many guests.
“Hhh....,” Rendi just sighed scratching her eyebrows and looking at Nila half-smiled, but her mouth was still tight. Nila also frowned at the infuriating response of this husband.
“Nila don't know how many rooms here? Adek Zainab where's his sleep? Nila's friends where?” Tanya Nila is passionate, “Terus Nila?” nila continued to stop and her tone lowered her head while throbbing, her lips were manyuning.
Turns out to be a housewife and a big mistress confused also if the arrival of many guests.
Rendi smiled back.
“It's a headache!” said Rendi lightly.
“Huh?” pekik Nila immediately looked up to Rendi who was even chuckling.
“Nila seriously Mas!” replied Nila pinching Rendi's arm.
“Ih...” Rendi was spontaneous to fend off, “Cubit-cubitnya in the room, not ashamed to be your friends, not here, later they want!” whispered Rendi even seduced Nila.
Nila became even more upset. “Mas.., uh, Nila seriously, Zainab's father, keep Bu Anwar with Bu Hasyim already asked where?” answer Nila.
“Zainab with her mother let in Ummi's room with Fatma, your friends let you sleep in a room near the kitchen,” said Rendi.
But Nila cut straight off.
“Siti Bu's Room? Why aren't they on top!” cut Nila.
“Not, this room you know this side room, which is spacious, the four of them, Kyai Hasyim the same Mother, and Kyai Anwar the same mother, let in the upper room. Later Abah, Fahri, Syamsul and others lesehan in the same central room in the living room,” said Rendi told.
Gleg, Nila swallowed her saliva but her lips were still manyun and looked at Rendi growling, her and Rendi's names had not been mentioned yet.
“Don't tell them to stay at the hotel, Babamu asked for our show at your house, It's late at night, responsibility! Baba Hotel is far away, Mas also does not know they want to come, so mas has not ordered the hotel as well. No preparation of everything!” said Rendi thought Nila wanted to ramble why not in a hotel, but Baba also had a large and beautiful hotel.
“Not that,” said Nila lirih.
“Terus?”
“Where to sleep?” tanya Nila lirih's
“Place,” spontaneously instead of answering, Rendi instead snapped Nila's eel that was plastered wide because Nila wore a rope hijab without pet.
“He hurt,”
“Sleep on the roof, otherwise in the bathroom!” answer Rendi origin.
“Ish...,serious!” sis Nila manyun.
“Yes in your room. You have a room, you ask, Ummi's room, make Zainab her mother and her aunt, who has a bathroom! You do not need to come,” replied Rendi emphasized.
Nila did not answer just moving her maniacal lips.
“There is no reason to break Baba's promise again, you were asleep in Ummi's room, right? It's legal to promise, you also want to watch the ball! There already!” added Rendi spoke again to know the heart of Nila.
Nila also nodded. Then they pulled over when Nila's friends in pairs brought drinks tray.
They also came out. Rendi immediately ignored Nila to meet her male guests in the living room. Nila to the middle room where Ummi had greeted her besanya, Zainab also had entered the room Ummi without Nila show. Yes, Fatma and Aisyah have directly placed themselves without being shown to Nila.
Nila's friends also served drinks, then Ummi and Fatma asked Nila's friends to prepare a bed for the fathers and santri men. Ummi also told Nila's friends where they slept. In addition, he also told Nila, after the besanya spent the warm drink, Nila escorted them to the two rooms on the top floor near Nila's room.
Nila nodded, apparently, the Rendi family had thought of everything. Because it was already 12 pm and on sleepy, once their drinks run out, followed by Pak Kyai Mansyur who had asked about the bed.
Nila delivers besan-besan Abah up all the way to Nila back to Rendi's room, even without Rendi, because Rendi was even heard still chatting outside.
“Ngapunten, ngggeh, Bah. up and down stairs,” said Nila politely.
“Ngak what Nduk, still healthy really, still our young!” kyai Anwar replied, Fatma was Fahri's father. Kyai Mansyur Syamsul's.
After Nila shows where their room and bathroom are, Nila returns to Rendi's room. To sleep.
“Hah...,” Nila took off her hijab and laid herself on the bed of Rendi who had changed the bed sheet.
For a moment Nila looked at Rendi's room and clasped her chest. “This room is my room?” he murmured in the heart. It still feels like a dream.
Nila then tilted her body and grabbed the bolster beside her to hug. “Mas Rendi want to watch a ball? Safe right?” he murmured, but then opened his eyes and turned his head.
Nila glanced at the wall clock, it was already 12.
“What time is the ball? He wants to be downstairs until morning? I'm not the key, right? Ah but is this his room?” he murmured again choosing not to lock his room.
Nila then woke up and turned off the bright lights replaced with a sleeping lamp on the nightstand. Nila also read a sleep prayer and closed her eyes.
*****
“Auh...” pekik Nila woke up because her sleep was disturbed and felt there was a bite on part of her body.
“Sstt..,”
“Mas..,” chuckle Nila waver spontaneously clutching her chest that Nila did not realize was open, even the lights that had been extinguished now light up. “Mas what again?” asked Nila innocently.
“He...” strangled Rendi without guilt, instead smiling and then changing positions, now sleeping on her side and supporting her head with her hands. “Sick huh? Sorry, abis mas gemes!” said Rendi.
Nila did not answer and wave, with breath stinged and embarrassed still felt like a dream, Nila bowed her head examining her body. Nila's chest was previously clean, why now there are many red spots. There were two baths now many, almost full.
“Mas... why Nila? Do not first...,” said Nila Lirih clutched her chest tightly with her two hands.
