TINI SUKETI
83. Family of Prospective In-Law (2)

Wibi's mother went inside the house, then left them for a moment. Evi and Dayat approach their sister.

Evi whispered, "Suare kok ndredeg ngunu to, Ma'am. Ono vibrane.” (Your voice is like that, Ma'am. There's vibes.)

"Let's go, I'm young krungune ngunu. Nek agek singing dangdut nganggo mic iso smoothly." (Yes. I also gripped it. Even if you sing dangdut using mic can be smooth.) Dayat whispered in his brother's ear.

"Opo I'm you kudu nggowo mic? Ora ngedem-ngedemi, even do nambahi grogi wae.” (Do I need to use a mic? Not to calm down. You guys get nervous about me!)

Wibisono, who saw the action of the three brothers, joined in close proximity to them. “Not popo. Sante wae's. Ora ono sing fierce nang kene." (Nothing. Just relax. There is nothing bad in this house.)

Tini and her sisters who had momentarily forgotten the presence of Wibisono behind them, were instantly silent. Wibi then led them to occupy a stretch of seats in the living room. The three of them exchanged glances, then looked at the goal separating the room where Mother Wibi reappeared with a young man and woman.

"Wah, kadingaren to. Very suwi whiskey." (Well, this surprise. It's been a long time.) Wibisono's mother glanced at her son with a smile.

"Wibi'e Busy. Niki Bapak .. niki. Tini umahe ngendi Nduk?" (I'm Wibi's mother. This is Mr. .. This is his mom. Where does Tini live?)

Wibi's mother repeated her introduction while dragging her husband's hand to sit on the long sofa facing Wibi and Tini.

"Lek taken single-single, Buk. Bene mboten puzzled piyambak'e lek nyauri girking riyin coffer." (They are one-one. Let the person not be confused to answer which one.)

Wibi glanced at Tini in order to signal her mother not to be too inclined Tini with long questions like journalists.

“Sanes suprise mellow, Buk. Wibi mpun nate sajang menawi badhe mbekto chick. Terose badhe braided kalih Ibuk. Niku jenenge lak badhe rabbi to, Buk.” (Make me not a surprise anymore. Wibi has already said that bring a woman to be known to mother. That means he's getting married, ma'am)

Sister Wibi laughed. He then approached Tini and extended his hand. “I Vita. Call Mbak Vita aja. My son is three men all. The largest third grade SMP. The number two third grade SD and the youngest first grade.” Vita's hand moved to greet Evi and Dayat who had since put on a face full of smiles that had not subsided.

“This is Tini's sisters, huh? Really distant guests,” said Vita again.

“Yes, Ma'am Vita. These my sisters. Evi and Dayat. We were all the first time to Surabaya,” said Tini while turning to his sisters.

“Do maem cloud kene to, Bi? Not cek'ane sek yo. Ben do maem with Karo Mas Angga. Suck in a teapot wonge." (Lunch is here, right, Bi? Ma'am ready first yes. Eat with Mas Angga. Soon to go home.)

“Ngeh, Ma'am. Do maem kene." (Yes, Mother. Eat together.)

Wibisono agreed to the real thing they had all talked about before arriving there. Wibisono's mother disappeared back into the dining room with her brother to prepare lunch.

“Nang hotel, Sir.” (In the hotel, sir) Wibisono represented Tini to answer that.

“Lha, what, ora nginep kene wae? Akeh empty room." (Kok, don't you get down here? Lots of empty rooms.) Mr. Wibisono looked astonished at his son.

“Sampun kulho jak'i mboten purun, sir. Terose rowdy. Mbekto sederek'e, worry about ngrepoti." (Udah Wibi ajakin but won't. He said, Sir. Bring her sisters too, so worry about ngerepotin.)

“Perkoro ngono wae kok ora iso nggenahke. Kayah kowe iki." (That's why you can't convince them to want to. You this father.)

Mr. Wibi half nagged when he said that. While Wibisono grimaced while looking at Tini. He then massaged Tini's shoulder slowly which was throwing a look of guilt. Wibisono had just been taken by his father because of Tini's decision to stay at the hotel.

"Come on Nduk, Evi, Hidayat do maem sek. Iki sing cook Ibuk karo mbakyune Wibi. Wibi kuwi wis suwe ora ngejak'i special guest. Dadi Ibuk kuwi curious Wibi meh talk opo sak bare maem. (Come, Tini boy, Evi, Hidayat, we'll eat first. It's the mother who cooked the same Wibi. Wibi did not bring any special guests. So curious Wibi wants to talk about what's over for lunch.)

Wibi's mother approached the sofa in the Tini section and her sisters sat down. Stretched out his hand at the three brothers to immediately rise up following him into the dining room.

“Marketing .... Sakmeniko kulo sangkang. Mangke ngertose Tini kulo dereng sanjang nopo - nopo." (Marketing .... Though it was talked about. Later Tini thought I had nothing to say.)

Wibi grumbled in a soft voice behind her mother. His mother, who was walking towards the dining room, looked back and laughed.

“Ealah .. guyon, Le. (call for boys) Bene Tini young krungu kamu kuwi konan sing tenanan karo Mr. Ibuk. Ngunu wae kok protest." (Joking only. Let Tini hear you speak officially to your father's mother. It's a protest.)

Wibisono smiled and sneered simultaneously behind his mother's body. Soon, they were all sitting around the dining table. Mas Angga's husband Vita appeared shortly afterwards. The lunch went well in line with Wibisono's expectations. Talks about Tini's family didn't last long. Just a casual conversation asking about Tini's family in the village.

The rest, that afternoon conversation resulted in one decision. In two months, the Wibisono family will come to Cokro Village. Official applications, weddings and receptions will be held at once.

Evi and Dayat have pinched each other and kicked under the table because of the joy of hearing the words of Mr. Wibisono. Now all they think about is securing the situation of their father and Puput VI.
