EXILED IN THE FAMILY
Arum ma'am

Neli felt so happy to see Naira who had just given up her bachelorhood. Two minutes ago, Naira's husband just finished saying kabul ijab with many pairs of eyes.

''Your sister is beautiful, Sis, '' said Neli. He spoke to Siska who was next to him.

''Yes, Ma, '' Siska said. Siska and Neli wear the same lilac color uniform that they sew specifically for them to wear at Naira's wedding. Even their other family members are also part of the same uniform as them. Only Dinda and her little out who was not part, because Neli was not willing to give to Dinda's small family.

''May the household of Naira and Ciko samawa, and not lack anything, Neli said again with glazed netra. He felt so moved.

''Amin, Ma,'' reply Siska.

''Not until Naira's fate is the same as that of the Dinda, had a poor husband! What a fate ngenes his,''

''Come on, Ma. Don't mention a child's name anymore. Make a sprain if you remember the face that is pretentious, pretentious, but originally disobedient and doubtful!''

''Yes, Sis. You really are.''

''Hopefully after this his life became more destitute, '' Siska swore.

''Yes, let's know the taste of that ungodly child!'' continued Neli again smiling sideways considering Dinda.

After that Naira sungkeman with Neli, Neli sobbed while stroking the head of Naira. Neli was very, very fond of Naira, all this time he always obeyed what Naira wanted. Until Naira grows up to be a spoiled girl.

''You take good care of Mama's child, yes, Nak Ciko, Mama believes in you, Neli's message to Naira's husband. Neli patted the small shoulder of Ciko.

''Yes, Ma, '' Ciko replied as she nodded lightly.

After all the marriage contract procession was completed, now is the time for the wedding party to begin, Naira and Ciko have changed their bridal clothes. Naira was wearing a white wedding dress, now they wear pink wedding clothes.

They stand on a leash to welcome guests who come. Neli always put on a big smile welcoming guests who greet his hands.

''Congratulations, Jeng, the end of his Jeng has a rich ghost again, just like Siska's husband said Neli's friend who is the same age as Neli.

''Yes, Jeng. Naira gito you know, Neli said back. He deliberately speaks in a soft voice, as he is afraid of being heard by Ciko and both of Ciko's parents who are standing not far from him.

''Eh jeng, I didn't see Dinda's whereabouts, '' asked his friend again.

''Linda was in her house again, she was sick, she said, Neli lied.

''Which flowers and flowers?'' ask the woman again full of questions. Because all this time he knew very well how Neli in treating Dinda.

''As for being sick as well, the three of them were again exposed to contagious seasonal fever, hence they were unable to attend Naira's wedding party, Neli again said nonsense.

''Oh,'' said his friend again while nodding small.

Afterwards he shakes hands with Naira, Ciko and Ciko's parents.

Neli looked dislike towards his friend, according to his friend was too kepo so people.

Many of Neli's neighbors and close relatives asked for Dinda's whereabouts, and Neli always answered for the same reason, saying that Dinda's little family was sick.

***

In a different place, in the shopping center where Dinda's entourage is located.

''I'm why, Mom?'' dinda asked softly, because the woman in front of her was still looking at her with glazed neutrals.

''You, your face is very similar to Mother's Sister, replied the woman.

''Mother's Sister?'' asked Dinda with narrowed eyes.

''Yes, she is two years younger than me. Now he is sick,''

''May Mother's sister get well soon, yes, Ma'am.''

''Difficult, Son. Mother's sister has been difficult to heal.''

''What is your sister sick? Seriously huh?'' Dinda was curious.

''Yes, Mom.'' Reply Dinda.

''Ahmad, you wait in the car, first, yes, '' The mother said to a young man wearing a black uniform.

''Well, ma'am, '' Ahmad replied. Ahmad was the driver of the mother.

They walked to the food around them. Once it has arrived and has been sitting in a chair that is in the dining area, Ms. Arum asks that Dinda, Bima and Bunga order whatever food they like, Bima and Bunga order whatever food they like, because Ms. Arum bought them.

With a feeling of condolence, Dinda's family finally ordered their own food and drinks, because Bu Arum continued to force.

While waiting for the food they ordered to come, they continued chatting again.

''Mother's sister is affected by mental disorders, '' explained Bu Arum with a sad face. Hearing that, Dinda and Bima were also concerned to hear him.

''Astaghfirullah, I'm concerned, ma'am, '' said Dinda.

''You know why he can be like that?'' ma'am Arum said again, and Dinda shook her head.

''It was because of the events twenty-five years ago, twenty-five years ago Mother Sister lost her newborn baby, she said, the baby was missing while in the hospital incubator. Once Mother's sister knew the baby died, she was exposed to Beby blues and she was stressed, until now her condition is getting worse. We have been trying to find the baby anywhere, but still the baby girl was not found, explained Bu Arum with a look to the past.

''Yes Allah.'' That's the only word she can say.

''What's your name, son? The name of your husband and your daughter? We have not met before, said Bu Arum again.

''Introduce my name to Dinda, Mom.''

''I'm Bima, Ma'am.''

''And this beautiful girl what is her name?'' tanya Bu Arum while holding the chin of Flowers.

''My name is unga, '' replied Bunga.

''Without?''

''It means Flower, Ma'am.'' Connect Dinda. And they laughed a little because of it.

''A beautiful name, as beautiful as the person.''

''Still, Grandma.'' Reply Flowers again.

''Yes, beautiful boy. Name of Grandma, Grandma Arum. But you call Grandma just Oma, yes, let's be more contemporary,''

''Oma good tantik.'' Reply Flowers again with her voice still slurred.

''You're so smart, baby.''

''Dinda, your face really looks like the face of Little Sister Mother. If I may know, are your parents still alive?''

''Mama I'm alive, ma'am. If Papa I had died a few years ago.''

''Dinda, may I know where your home address is?'' ask Arum again. I don't know why Arum feels so sure that Dinda is his missing niece. But he still felt hesitant to say his belief in Dinda.

''Of course you can, ma'am.'' Answer Bima. Then Bima sent their home address via WA chat. After they exchanged WA numbers.

''You are indeed a matching couple, whose women are beautiful, whose men are handsome, '' Bu Arum praised Dinda and Bima.

Hearing that, Bima and Dinda just smiled knots.

They then separated, Ms. Arum pamit came home after tasting a little food that he ordered, he left Dinda's entourage who still ate the food they ordered. The food was already paid by Bu Arum, even Bu Arum slipped money as much as three hundred thousand rupiah into the hands of Bunga. He said to jajan.

Ms. Arum was in a hurry, because there was something she had to take care of.

Seriate.
