When Rohmah informs her that Rey is in Jakarta, her mother's wish for a rich daughter-in-law disappears instantly. Especially when Aunt Rey said she did not know the whereabouts of her nephew. Rey came here a little later to work. But do not leave the address or contact number contacted.
I had to brain-twitch. He must make a good scenario so that Aldy can be more patient waiting for Rey who is known to be taking care of his grandmother.
But the mother's plan fails because Aldy doesn't just trust the mother's words.
Aldy feels cheated, since then he does not want to be in touch with the Rey family anymore.
Now, without a doubt the almost lost dream is actually approaching itself. The arrival of Wibie which is quite surprising throughout the house will actually be a helper god for this family
"Looks like he's not as keen as Aldy,"
Mother's whisper in heart.
After a while they were silent, Nay came from the direction of the kitchen carrying a tray containing 3 cups of drinks.
"Please, Son. Sorry yeah. Until I forget to provide water," said the mother with a face that sounded shy.
"Drink coffee, right?" asked Dad
"Yes, but once in a while" Wibie replied briefly. Of course with such a polite tone
Wibie grabbed the cup that was already in front of her. Sipping a little coffee is still hot it to eliminate his thirst.
"Craperated,Bu. Coffee empay, nih" said Wibie trying to get familiar with the prospective new family.
"Buy in the market. Every day they grind themselves. So the coffee sold is always new," mother chimed in kindly.
The pleasantries around the coffee presented were enough to make the atmosphere between them slightly melt. Wibie becomes more relaxed in revealing what her and Rey's goals are.
"So what, son? When are your wedding plans?" ask mother.
"We've agreed to this end of the month,"
"What?" ask Rey's mom and dad almost at the same time.
"Why so hastily. How do we as brides prepare everything?" Mother protest.
"Sorry, Sir..Ma'am. Rey asked me not to throw a party. Simply a marriage contract attended by the nearest family,"
"Rey also asked for his marriage contract in my Jakarta. In the house we live in now" Wibie said again
Rey's parents looked at each other. They were quite confused to understand the meaning of the words of the candidate.
"But, Son. As a female parent, we would want her child's wedding to be as lively as possible. Honestly, I'm still confused by your way of thinking,"
"That's what you're telling us. We are not appreciated at all. Even for matters as important as this, you decide for yourself, "This time I look sad. His gaze was fixed on Father as if asking for reinforcement
"Sorry Mom, it's not like that. Rey asked before he finished college and could be independent, he did not want to go back to the village. He wants to prove to people that he is capable of achieving that" Wibie said hurriedly. He was worried Rey's parents were increasingly prejudiced.
"I hope, Father and mother also the family here can be present. All costs to Jakarta and others let me take care of it," added Wibie again.
Long enough they were silent, Wibie again sipped coffee that had begun to reduce the heat.
"Doni's going to Jakarta, Dad. I've never been there. Come on, Dad," Doni who has been looking so cool with the TOP shows suddenly so desperate to hear Wibie's offer.
Mom and Dad were silent. It seems they need time to make a decision.
"Rey is not wrong. As parents, we should understand the wishes of their children. Rey's a smart kid. The desire to be able to go to college and work is so passionate," Dad started talking again
"If it's Rey's will. We'll just come along," he added.
The legal requirements of a marriage are bride, ijab kabul, witness, guardian. Technical implementation and when will be implemented depending on the agreement of each family.
It is difficult to unite to take a decision that can fulfill the wishes of all parties. What to say, the rice has become porridge.
Rey, who is considered more independent than her two brothers, sacrificed a lot of feelings. Including when the mother who always pushed him into the lap of Aldy regardless of his feelings.
I feel guilty for that. Although he knew his wife was unfair to his second daughter, he could not do much
"Yes already. If that's what Rey wants. We'll just come along,"
Dad's tone looks resigned. Not because he didn't advertise his daughter's will. But I want to atone for Rey's sin.
If Wibie was the happy child, she would do anything so they could be together. Rey looks happy when VC and dad can feel that.
Wibie also looks so patient and attentive to her daughter. If it's like this, what else is there to argue about. The only option is to give them their blessing.
The mother also seems to have no objection to the father giving consent to the wishes of his son. In his heart he was convinced, Wibie was very loyal to the family and hoped this child could help ease his burden.
"Oh Yes, Son. Rey still has an unmarried sister. So if he wants to step over his brother to get married first, the ethics must be a step. Especially her sister is also a girl," said the mother. After all had been discussed and found a word of agreement, he suddenly remembered something.
"Yes Mom. I understand. If it's agreed by Nay and my family just come along. Later I will also talk about it again to Rey," said Wibie
After that they discussed the technical departure of the Rey family to Jakarta. Given Father's condition that did not allow a long journey, so it was decided to use the air transportation mode.
Doni and Nay were delighted to hear they were going to Jakarta and boarded a plane. Moreover, Wibie also promised to invite his prospective sister-in-law around Jakarta.
Wibie finally beg to resign after all is done. Father and mother look more friendly when delivering the prospective daughter-in-law to her car.
"I beg you to say goodbye. If there's anything you want to say, Mom and Dad can call me. The number is still a long one," Again Wibie experienced both before the man got into his car.
The father who was still sitting in his wheelchair also took off his future son-in-law until he left the yard of the house.
*******
"Mom, wait. I want to talk first" said Dad when he saw his wife stepping into the house.
"What's wrong?" ask mom flat.
"Is it true that Aldy is asking for all that has been given to Rey?" ask Dad so seriously. He felt sorry about this. During this time his wife never discussed the compensation he called his wife earlier.
"Mom's already sleepy, Dad. Tomorrow we will discuss," said mother evasive.
"No, Ma. I have to explain now. I want to know, whatever Aldy has given to Rey so that the total bill requested can reach 20 million.
"Tomorrow, Dad. I'm sleepy" said the mother again. This time he put on a hard face.
Dad caught something that mom was hiding from him. For that father did not let go of mother just like that when his wife was evasive with sleepy reasons
"Don't reason, Mom. You just say yes or no. It won't reduce your sleep time" chase me again.
"Yes" replied mother slowly
"What did he give Rey? Why don't you ever know about it?" Push dad again.
"none. He just gave me groceries. I used to say it was a bonus, and I was surprised when he recorded it all. Moreover, he had the heart to ask him back after mother could not give certainty when Rey returned," said the mother embarrassed.
"It's just soap, fragrance, etc." Dad was getting whistling. This time, he had impaired hearing.
"Fridge's last,"
"That much time, Mom?" I couldn't believe it because I knew I met Aldy not too long ago.
"Not that big, he only asked for 7jt compensation," Mother was silent because she was embarrassed. Aldy who I think is good turned out to be so calculating. What he had given to his mother all this time turned out he noted.
"Yes, sorry. Now what's the difference between mom and Aldy," I almost cried.
It turns out that his wife's materialistic nature never changes. The marriage of his own son, he still wants to take advantage
