Ms. Ratna just got home from work that afternoon.
Walking slowly into the house, his body was very tired and wanted to rest after a day of activities that had drained his energy,but just entering the house of Bu Ratna has been welcomed with a smile from the three sisters of Bu Ratna who are far below Bu Ratna they are still very small and they are always waiting for her brother to come home from working every afternoon in front of their yard.
"Hore brother came home" said the three sisters Bu Ratna with great joy to see and welcome her brother.
The three sisters of Bu Ratna are number ten there is Sihar, number eleven there is Bowo and number twelve there is Rini
Ms. Ratna who had been very tired to see the smiles of her three sisters was immediately happy.
"What did you bring today ???" ask Sihar
"Sister bring this for you "Absaid Ms. Ratna while taking chocolate out of her bag and sharing it with her three sisters.
"Wah ..asikk.makasih Kak Ratna" said the three sisters from Bu Ratna together..
"Yes.. have you guys eat the chocolate yes, sister want to take a shower first" said Ms. Ratna to her three sisters.
Then Ms. Ratna left her three younger siblings, and walked into the house as Ms. Ratna entered the living room where the other sister of Bu Ratna came out and asked her sister for something.
Yes, they are the younger brother of Bu Ratna who number seven Budi his name, number eight there is Cipto and number nine there is Tomo, they are all waiting for his brother to ask for their respective tuition.
"No money??" ask Ms Ratna's three sisters to Ms Ratna
"Why the deck??" mother Ratna asked her three sisters.
Budi:" Budi must buy a lecture book, brother?, make additional material Budi kak's final task" replied Budi, and explained to his brother about his needs.
Cipto:" Cipto is also kak, make additional thesis reference Cipto kak"Cipto also explained the needs of his college to his brother, he Cipto and Budi are both almost ready to finish college,Cipto majored in Akutansi Management, while Budi chose to major in Law
And now they are in the final task so the cost required is also quite a lot.
Tomo:"if it's time to pay for college, brother.He.he.he." replied Tomo with his own rancor because Tomo himself most recently completed his lecture from his two brothers.
Ms. Ratna who heard him immediately fell silent, she was Bu Ratna the fourth of twelve brothers .
The three sisters chose not to go to school and marry and become housewives, while the fifth sister named Endang often sickly and easily fainted, so choose not to continue his school as well and married at a young age like his sisters Endang married a man of choice from his mother, only Bu Ratna who steady choose to continue his school
even though it is only until the end of SMA.
The decision was taken because Ms. Ratna did not want to be a stupid woman who married at a young age and did not understand anything and only understood the affairs of the kitchen,and if for example Bu Ratna did not finish school the younger siblings who were under him would not be able to go to school, then from that Ms. Ratna was willing to sacrifice to be the backbone for her family and her sisters.
"Yes my brother has prepared the money" Ms Ratna replied to her three younger brothers
"Thank you, brother" answered his three brothers
"Yes, Sister Ratna took a bath first yes deck" replied Ms. Ratna, then went to her room after giving money for her sisters' lecture.
"Yes, brother, thank you, brother" his sisters replied to Ms. Ratna
...
Once inside the room, Ms. Ratna just shut up and threw her body into her bed and with a long sigh, her eyes looked at the ceiling of her room while muttering softly.
"If you have a brother there will certainly not be trouble" said Bu Ratna Lirih.
There were no tears dripping on her cheeks there was a tightness in Bu Ratna's chest but Ms Ratna immediately wiped her tears and recalled her mother and sisters,Ms. Ratna must be able to get through all this for the sake of her family.
Then the spirit of Bu Ratna reappeared.
But for some reason, suddenly, Ms. Ratna remembered the man who greeted her this afternoon.
"Who was that??? , did he know me?? " bu Ratna asked in her heart, because the thought of Mr. Sam was quite disturbing her heart at this time.
"Ah.... Already bodo amet ngapain I think of a guy like Him, already ugly, kribo what else he met Poltak, surely his behavior is also the same do not drink and play women as well" thought Ms. Ratna while continuing to remember Mr. Sam's face, why did her mind go to Mr. Sam.
"But He is not entirely like the Poltak anyway, He is quite polite, yes ..although even the way his clothes are quite messy, but He is very Polite" said Bu Ratna while looking at Mr. Sam's face
"Why do I keep thinking about Him??"ms. Ratna answered softly in her heart, Ms. Ratna realized from her daydreams about Mr. Sam and hurried to expel her thoughts far from her heart and mind.
Ms. Ratna immediately got out of her bed and went out of the room to the bathroom to clean her body that already felt very sticky.
...
After finishing the bath, Ms. Ratna changed clothes and rushed to the kitchen to help her mother in the kitchen.
At the time in the kitchen, Ms. Ratna found her mother was busy cutting vegetables.
The old-looking mother sat down while cutting vegetables to prepare the food of the sisters of Bu Ratna.
"Na. I want to know you as your son'nya your father's friend" said Bu Tris began a conversation with Ms. Ratna.
"Mother.what's the hell Mom. Ratna does not want Mom, arranged again Mom" replied Ms Ratna to her Mother.Bu Ratna tried to subtly refuse to her Mother.
"You always have, Your parents just want to give the best for you Na, looking for the husband must have seeds, bebet, weight Na, can not be just any origin of marriage" said Bu Tris advising his son'nya while continuing to cut vegetables, without Bu Tris tau Bu Ratna has been very disappointed with the behavior of his mother'nya always betrothed'nya but Bu Ratna just silent.
"The mother of seedlings, bebet, even the obvious weight does not guarantee anything at this time" bu Ratna answered subtly although in the heart of Bu Ratna was very upset with the behavior of her mother who betrothed her teru-sus'an with the son of a friend of the late Father'nya Bu Ratna.
"Ratna horrified Mother, you are the daughter, the daughter of the short term'nya son, if you choose the wrong husband who bore the shame that not only you, but Mother and your sisters too, if you choose the wrong husband that bears the shame it is not only you,the difficult Trus is also not you but your mother is Nak" said Bu Tris advised and explained to Ms. Ratna at length.
Ms. Tris was already getting upset that Ms. Ratna was not willing to obey what Ms. Tris was talking about.
"Mother.live, dead ,fool, richness, it's God who rules Bu, we humans already have a destiny'nya Bu" replied Bu Ratna still insisted on explaining to her Mother.
"Ratna.denger mother , have a daughter is like a raffle boy, if the draw is good we are happy, if the bad can we repeat again?? what's more if the girls have gone the wrong way you will only be looked at one eye as a boy" said Bu Tris firmly and full of emotion, Bu Tris is very upset about the response from Bu Ratna.
As he passed inside to pick up the dishes and prepare the meal, BuTris chose to end the debate.
While Ms. Ratna who was in the kitchen and heard her mother's words while holding back tears, Bu Ratna kept thinking,why should there be such an arranged marriage, every man He knew had a Seed, bebet, and,the weight is very clear, but the behavior is even very unclear, even they are worse than people who are said to have no clear origin.
Those who are like that are even better, they are not hypocritical and do not cover up their badness even if they are only looked at one eye by the person who sees the behavior they make.
But Ms. Ratna just kept quiet and continued her cooking and prepared food for her sister.
At the dinner table, Ms. Tris and Ms. Ratna were silent with each other, until dinner was over and they went back into her room and Ms. Ratna was still speaking a thousand languages with her mother.
...
While lying on his bed Bu Ratna suddenly remembered one thing that Rini's younger sister will have a birthday.Bu Ratn immediately went out of the house to the house of Aunt Theresia to ordering a cake for Rini's sister who will have a big birthday
"Tante Theresia, Om Simon" called Ms. Ratna to the owner of the house and not for how long she was called out.
"Eh. There's Ratna" said Om Simon.
"Why Rat, what is the need for tumben here malem-malem??" ask Simon Om to Mrs Ratna
"Aunty is Om??" ask Ms. Ratna to Om Simon
"Tante hasn't come home from work yet, but you're coming in. I'll be home soon" replied Om Simon as he opened the door for Ms. Ratna and Mr. Simon let Ms. Ratna in,and told Ms. Ratna to sit down, and then Om Simon passed back to prepare a drink and a snack for Ms. Ratna.
"Drink Rat while waiting for Auntie to come home" said Om Simon, who had just disappeared a few minutes back, and now Om Simon has returned again by bringing Ms. Ratna snacks and drinks.
"Thank you Om" replied Ms. Ratna
"Mother how is Rat?? is that healthy, Rat??" ask Om Simon to Ms. Ratna while starting a conversation between them.
"Healthy Om" replied Ms. Ratna politely
"If your sisters how are you doing, Rat?" ask Simon again to Ms. Ratna
"The sisters are also good Om, Budi and Cipto soon want to finish his S1 om, if Tomo yes a little bit molor Om because most courtship so many left behind" ms. Ratna replied about her three younger siblings who were close to finishing college.
"Then Rini, Bowo, and Sihar how??" ask Simon Om to Mrs Ratna
"Sihar has healed ,Om dreaded when the day Sihar finished intestinal surgery , so that can BAB??"ask Simon again to Ms. Ratna.
Om Simon always asks about his sisters and Miss Tris, especially the younger brother of Bu Ratna named Sihar because Sihar's younger brother Bu Ratna who had abnormalities in his intestine so that Sihar could not Bab according to his path, and finally Sihar surgery because it could not BAB.
So the doctor bulldozed his stomach and made his own disposal bag on his right abdomen.
"Everything is fine Om, Sihar also has a smooth BAB after the operation Om" Ms Ratna replied to Om Simon.
"You yourself are you okay, Rat?" ask Simon Om to Mrs Ratna
"Ratna is fine Om" replied Ms. Ratna.
Ms. Ratna knew what was meant by Om Simon's question was about the situation'nya after failing to marry Surya.
Yep.. One Complex knows that Ms. Ratna will marry Surya, but by the wedding day'nya Surya Ketawan impregnated the children of people so that the marriage was void.
And Ms. Ratna chose to close herself and her heart, and Om Simon was a wise enough person to forbid the circumstances of Ms. Ratna without offending the old wounds of Ms. Ratna.
"Are you alone, Rat??" ask Simon again to Ms. Ratna
"Yes, that's how Om, still focus on the same family Om" replied Ms Ratna
"Rat ,Om sorry in advance if Ratna does not mind ,Ratna would not Om know with the ponakan Om ?? " ask Simon
"Whose niece is Om??" ask Ms. Ratna
"That's Him, He again went with his friend to the peak of his name Samuel" said Om Simon introduced the name Mr. Sam to Bu Ratna
"Is there not a guy that I did this afternoon???" asked Bu Ratna in her mind
"Ehm. may be Om but make it a meeting that is nothing, Om.If only to be a friend of Ratna want Om" replied Bu Ratna subtly because she hesitated to refuse the offer of Om Simon.
" Ah. okay good if that" Om simon is very cool
" Good afternoon pa.."sapa Bu Theresia who just returned from service
"Sore ma" replied Simon
" Aunty afternoon" replied Mrs Ratna
" Eh. there was Ratna anyway, long ago Rat came "asked Aunt Theresia
" It's good to have a tan" replied Ms Ratna
"What's Ratna doing here, Tumben??" ask Aunt Theresia to Miss Ratna
"This aunt, Rini made by Ratna's birthday want to help Aunt make a cake for Rini, so Rini likes her blackflorest tart cake Aunt" ratna told aunt theresia
" okay Aunty make yes" replied Aunt Theresia
"What's the same talk about me??" ask aunt theresia
"That's why I want to know him the same sam " replied om simon
"Hah.you are careless pa, call you drunk you know to ratna how the hell you are making a shame know." aunt theresia immediately angry
"It's not so ma, how do you know that sam knows ratna can change ma, you know sam is less affection from his parents in Surabaya so sam so" said Om Simon again reminded his wife about the problem of his nephew.
"Yes it's up to ratna aja how to do what not, but not because of the forced ya na" said Aunt Theresia
" Yes tan" replied Mrs Ratna
" Kasian really ponakan Om Simon, his family was not noticed , sampek escape to drink that drink" said Bu Ratna in his mind
"Yes Tan and Om Ratna have come home first" replied Ms Ratna
"Don't forget Rat "say Om Simon
" Yes Om besuk the morning before Ratna went to work om, Ratna met Sam" replied Bu Ratna
"Thank you, Rat" replied Simon
"Sama-sama Om" replied Mrs Ratna
Then Ms. Ratna went home, in her heart, wondering how Sam was.
"Well, what faces people" said Ms Ratna in her mind
"Ah.udah'lah see besuk aja "said Bu Ratna again wirih and walk home because her sisters have been waiting'nya at home.
