THE ESCAPED BRIDE ESCAPED
31. Mommy's Advice

That morning Aya went to the apartment accompanied by her mother. He cleaned the place from dust, as a result of being abandoned for so long.

Although the memory stayed there for only a short time, still Aya felt a little gamang. It felt that in whichever direction he turned, he could see a God standing watching him.

"Yes want to stay here, Mi." said Aya arrived.

"That will only add to your grief" advises mommy.

Renting this apartment is still a long time. It's a pity if it's not occupied." Aya gave a reason.

"Then, rent it!" Mami still disapproves of Aya's idea of staying away from the family home.

"But Mi---"

"No but, Aya!" cut the mami with your eyes staring hard.

Gayatri held a sense in her heart. How difficult it is to express an opinion in his family. Older people always have to be heard.

Mi, Aya don't want to marry Arjuna!" suddenly stumbled.

"Tell that to God!" sahut mami cuek's.

Mami breathed a heavy sigh. Then sit on the couch. It was dubbed tivi and let the sound of the electronic device fill the silence in the apartment left by the owner.

"Don't think mom doesn't understand how you feel. Mama knows very well. It will not be easy for a wife who has just lost her husband, already required to face the next marriage.

"The trail of your husband's body hasn't even disappeared from your body. You may still remember clearly the roar of his breath as he united. Mami herself did not expect God to make such a cruel will!"

"But--"

"We're not so-so yet, Mi!"

Aya's words surprised mami. Making his own sentence stop in the middle of the road. The middle-aged ayu woman looked at her daughter with an expression of disbelief.

"You're not like this yet?" Mami put two index fingers together in front of the face, towards Aya.

Strictly the girl bubbled. He knows what his mother meant.

"What!' Mom is really shocked now.

"Does anyone else know about it?" search mami, like a police detective style asking questions.

Aya shook her head. "Other people know, they're dead!" answer Aya.

"Who?" tanya wants clarity.

"Yes God dong, Mi." Aya shook her head to see her lips open in disbelief.

"Then how can you be friendly in front of everyone? You fooled us!" sergeant mami's upset.

"But remember one thing, let no one else know this!" mom's message is firm.

"Because, your wedding plans might be accelerated if other family members find out you haven't been touched!"

"Is that so? Alright. Aya won't tell anyone." Gayatri nodded, agreeing to the suggestion of the mami genius earlier.

"Now we know why God makes such a will." Mommy makes a funny face.

"What's so funny, Mi?" Aya pouting.

Mommy deleted her previous expression. Now he looks serious. "Maybe to you, God's will is something that sucks and you don't like."

Mami observed her daughter intensely, waiting for her reaction before further making a conclusion.

Aya's defense lost in front of a view that was like being able to read her mind. Finally Aya nodded while pouting with pursed lips.

God doesn't think about my feelings!" gerutu Aya was not happy. "She didn't ask me if I was ready or not!"

Mami could see very clearly that Aya was being sewed. And what his daughter said, was the honest heart.

"Did you remember that nickname that people used to call you before you married a god?" ask mami.

"Fucking girl! People always call me the unlucky girl who's never gonna get married!" aya replied while looking down.

"Now, can you understand how God thinks?" ask mami again.

Aya quiet. She was trying to understand the way the man who became her husband didn't even make it to corn! Then he shook his head as well, after thinking for quite a while.

"I don't know!"

"According to mami, God wants to save you from the gossip of the city again. That's why he set you up with Arjuna. So we don't have to be busy looking for a husband out there for you." Mommy explained her assumptions.

"okay lah .... That part Aya could accept. But why Arjuna?" sela Aya fast.

"Because it was Arjuna who was similar to him physically. And the same age as you!" obviously mami.

"The time he forgot how perverted his twin brother was! How could he match me to a man like that!" Aya is obviously sewot.

"Be ordinary. Deservedly. Don't hate too much. It'll be bucin!" mom's advice.

"There's no way Aya's so bucolic to an arrogant, perverted man and a land crocodile!" annoyed Aya.

"Something we think is not good, not necessarily really good. It could be that God saw Arjuna in a different way. And something we don't like, it could be the best thing for us!"

Aya speechless. My mom doesn't usually give advice like that. Although astonished, Aya still listened to him carefully.

"If the cleaning business is over, let's go home. Mommy has to prepare the dinner menu!"

"Aya look at the washing machine. When it's done, just let it dry and we can go home!" Aya ran to the place to wash clothes.
