THE ESCAPED BRIDE ESCAPED
9. H-5

Gayatri was silent long enough, to think. "I can't answer it now. I want to see your work first!"

Aya managed to find a gap to turn things around between herself and the Gods. The position as a person who has high bargaining power, is much more pleasant than being cornered by God to accept or reject, as before.

The god widened his eyes in disbelief. "This girl is very smart. It's a pity to just stay home" he thought.

After exhaling heavily, the God finally nodded. "alright. I will only make the original plan first.if you still refuse to marry me, then your revenge will not be fulfilled!" resolute God.

Gayatri nodded. "Deal!"

Hand held out as a sign of the achievement of a word of agreement between the two of them.

The god welcomed Aya's handshake and shook her once. "Deal!"

The two people smiled mysteriously. Each of them assessed the person in front of him.

"Will he keep his word?" thought Gods.

"Does he complete the initial conditions?" inner Gayatri.

"Your time is until the night before the wedding. If you can't do it, then file a marriage annulment with papi. I don't want to be blamed. Because you're the one who can't keep to my terms." Gayatri felt that this time her position had the upper hand.

"You're really-" God is speechless.

"Will he continue to be this unreasonable after marriage? Why would I hesitate to marry this girl?" inner God.

"If this is the original habit, it will be very troublesome later. I don't know if a girl like this can fit in with mom" he thought to himself.

"It's night. I want to go back there and return home" said the god at last.

Gayatri just nodded. He stood up from the chair and escorted the God to the family meeting room.

They heard laughter from the room. The younger brother of God managed to melt the clumsy atmosphere, due to his mother who rarely spoke.

"Your conversation is over?" tanya eyang was friendly.She very much hoped that God would become her daughter-in-law's grandson. His old eyes could judge both good and bad character. And Deity is a good man he hopes can guide Gayatri.

"Yes, Eyang," replied the God. Gayatri just nodded.

"Is the conversation here over?" the god asked his mother.The middle-aged woman nodded.

"We beg ourselves first then" said the Lord.

"A rush?" ask eyang.

"Mom is tired. Aunt must be tired of all this preparation." God gave the reason.

Finally ended the application and submission ceremony at the Sangaji family home.

After the return of the gods, Aya is again escorted to her room which is then locked back.

The girl immediately changed her clothes in a comfortable nightgown. His mind was reminded of the God's story about Reynald. The anger is mounting. So depraved was the man. And Gayatri is grateful she can be separated from a man like that. He could not imagine if it was forced to continue the marriage with the man and enter their toxic family circle. He'll probably eat the liver.

Next day.

Pak De Yatno vegetable stalls back crowded with mothers who shop in the morning.

"Jeng, you know what?" ask a mom to open the conversation.

"Don't know!" answer the others simultaneously.

Mother was in the habit of starting sentences with such a mysterious pretent. They've memorized the outside of his habit head.

"What story you want, let's just tell it. Don't be so mysterious!" scold the others before.

"Hehehe. This is not mysterious news. Just a little info. Last night at nine o'clock, mbak art where Mr. Sangaji came to eat cake and hlo food," he said with a radiant face.

"Trus why? I was also ushered last night," said the neighbor next door to Mr. Sangaji's house.

"I was also accompanied by cake and food" the other replied.

The first mother no longer smiled. Because it turns out other neighbors can also share the same.

"Ndak nothing. Only, the cake is delicious. My children love it." replied the mother evasively. His pride was completely unreasonable. He was not special to the Sangaji family.

"Yes, good cake. Must have ordered an expensive pastry shop," another chimpanzee agreed.

"If many are in part, it means that there was an event last night at the house of Ms. Aya. How busy could it be for last night's event?" throw another mother.

"Does anyone know what show?" ask the others. Some people nodded in response.

"Cheap!" the other ledek. The sound of laughter broke out and enlivened the morning on a street in a residential alley.

"There's a chicken, Mr De?" ask a new mother.

"Exit, Mom. If there are still many fish," bargained Mr. De Yatno.

"Ogah ahh .. Mr. De's fish can only swim. I can fly!" joked the mother.

"Most watch the soap opera!" the other ledek.

"What kind of flying is that?" ask Mr. De Yatno.

"The rich in tivi is hloo" explains another.

"Eh, who got the cake from Bu Ajeng?" ask the new mom.

All the mothers raised their hands. "We all get it. Then you want to give us what gift?" another mother's tease.

"Later, I'll give you my number one perfume!" The mother lifted a plastic bag jengkol, selling Mr. De Yatno.

"I want to die," another tickle.

"Jengkol days. What is mabok tuh?" the other insinuation.

"Not for today. This is for the day after tomorrow, there are families coming from Depok" he replied.

"So giman? No one knows what event was at Mr. Sangaji's house last night yet?" ask the mothers again.

"Avara betrothal mbak Aya," replied the mother who bought jengkol.

All eyes glared towards him. The first news anchor. "Kok know?" the other one was impatient,

"Kan, I've been helping out there for two days. Last night the show. Now it's done," he replied proudly, as the first person to know the secret that was sealed by the family of Mr. Sangaji.

"Oh, there are guys who want to be the same Ma'am Aya" said another.

"Well, she's beautiful. Ayu, like Bu Ajeng. Someone would have wanted to have seen the picture." Clearly the other.

"But he-" Those words did not go on. There is an unpleasant feeling if it is revealed directly. But all who hear understand what that word means.

"If you're a soul mate, you're not going anywhere. Maybe the cancellation of the wedding plan that was then. to wait for the man who now appears!" answer the smartest and wisest.

Everybody nods. I don't understand, I don't know.
