Pura-Pura Jodoh
Go Permit


The atmosphere of the dining table at Abhi's house looked so crowded this morning. Gurgling water from the aquarium, the smell of dew evaporating into a warm accompaniment in the dining table area. As long as they enjoyed breakfast, there was always a joke between Lula and Abhi that made them all momentarily forget about the problem.


The man with white hair looked so fond of Lula. Lula's figure became the most emanated of the other grandchildren. Not without reason, they just worry that Lula is still traumatized by events in childhood. "Where are we going on vacation, La? How about going to Singapore!" bargain Abhi after successfully swallowing the last mouthful into her stomach.


"I wasn't invited, Opaque?!" 8-year-old Ben is envious of his brother. Abhi's four grandchildren indeed have different vocations. But the man never protested, including when Reina's granddaughter called him embah.


"Kan, Ben is sick again, definitely not allowed to be with me." Abhi reasoned, he did not want to watch over his two grandchildren.


"Lula must not be allowed to be with Lula's husband!" reflex Lula rejects Abhi's offer. He was unaware of how the dining table dwellers' expressions were. Time seemed to stop, they turned towards Lula, looking at her suspiciously.


Soon Rainer closed his eyes tightly, cursing Lula's unfiltered lips. Supposedly, he took Lula breefing first before the boy met the father. So as not to say that, to make Abhi's face look so wrathful.


Realizing the mistake that was being done Lula lowered her head deeply. I felt that his mistake was too great for my father. "Sorry," he muttered without daring to raise his head.


"What does Lula mean?!" ask Abhi, trying to find out.


Naura who was sitting next to Lula looked so shocked, she could no longer speak. Lula is a 19-year-old girl who does not have much advantages, she worries that Lula's husband cannot accept Lula's shortcomings.


Zahira clasped Rainer's palm, trying to calm down when the man's face looked frustrated. "We're honest, it's useless to hide it, surely they will know, too" he persuaded, understand, no matter how hard they hide sooner or later they will know too.


Rainer nodded after successfully opening his eyes wide. He turned to look at Lula, who was still bowing his head. "It's Rainer's fault, Dad!" said the man shrewdly. "Rainer who can't prevent this from happening" he continued.


"Get in to dad's room!" tell Abhi as he left his stool.


Rainer grimaced at the angry look Abhi showed, sure to be scolded all out after this. "The spirit, whatever it is, stick to your decision. This is our family! They can give you advice, but you can make a decision." Zahira said before Rainer left the dining table.


"Dad, Lula's coming! I'll defend you no matter what!" Lula had gotten out of the chair but Rainer immediately prevented her.


"Sit down and continue eating!" firmly Rainer, then leave the dining table area.


The atmosphere of the dining table looked so gripping, no one dared to make a sound including moving his tablespoon. Only Ben Sagara dared to make a rowdy.


"Daughter has a husband? Who's brother's husband?"


The question from Ben made Lula dare to look at the boy. His lips smiled faintly, immediately his hand rubbed Ben's arm. "So, anyway Ben should be good with brother's husband!" Lula said.


"Did you sleep together last night? Is he gone? What time did he leave!" Ben who is still curious tries to find out until he gets a satisfactory answer.


Zahira and Lula looked at each other. Lula asked for permission to tell her who her husband was.


"So who's my granddaughter, Ra? You could have allowed Lula to marry at an early age!" Naura who was curious began to speak up. His tone sounded ketus make Lula could not bear, see the mother blamed like that.


"Don't upset Mother Oma ... It's Lula's fault!" Sela Lula defended the Mother.


"But, Lula ... If your father and your mother refuse, this marriage will never happen." Naura turned to look at Zahira. "you yourself know, how Rainer was forced to postpone his lecture because he had to take care of the birth of Lula, how troublesome you and Rainer were those days. Have you forgotten?! You want Lula to experience something similar to what you've been through!"


"Lula won't give birth, Oma! Lula doesn't want to!" Lula almost yelled, she remembered her agreement with Daddy Frans. Only until he graduates High School.


Naura looked towards Zahira, as if it was the fault of her daughter-in-law who was unable to prevent that from happening.


"So why are you shouting like Oma. Not polite!" timpal Ben makes the tension even more.


Instantly Lula's lips clenched tightly, after noticing her rude attitude towards Naura. "Sorry, Oma! But Lula asks not to blame you for Lula's decision." Lula said softly. "It's Lula's will. Father and mother never interfered about Lula's decision to marry early. They had tried to resist Lula's wishes. But I myself have coerced and persuaded them until father wants to allow Lula to marry da—daddy Frans." Lula explained at length making Naura even more shocked after hearing the man who had married Lula.


Lula replied with a nod of her head, quietly. No matter the reaction Naura showed at the moment.


"It's a good thing Oma doesn't have Lula's heart disease, if you have Oma just name it! How could this happen?! Keisa's just getting married, but you're ahead of her!"


A regretful look was clearly visible on Lula's face. He is unable to do anything at this time other than accept the consequences of the decision that has been taken. Oma even had her opinion blamed on her maybe after this she was no longer their favorite granddaughter. He needs to be more independent, only Daddy Frans will be his moaning place.


"Once again blame Lula, Oma ... They don't know anything." said Lula, then left the table, he no longer finished his breakfast. His appetite melted instantly.


Upon arriving inside the room, Lula's hearing was greeted by a ringing call that went into her number. As he stared at the screen of his phone, the name Daddy Beloved on the screen. Lula quickly received the voice call.


"Hallo," said Lula in a low tone, he still held back the tears of Oma Naura's Nagging towards the mother.


"Where's your dad going, why hasn't the phone been picked up?!" Frans protests.


"Father again in the same trial opa Abhi. And all because of Daddy Frans."


"Is that so?" The small rarity heard from the end of the call made Lula even more annoyed.


"If nothing matters I turn off the call" said Lula.


"Wait a minute, Lula!" Prevent Frans.


"What?!"


"Listen Daddy! Lula ... For a while, you lived with your father first, yeah!" ask Frans, who made Lula happy.


Isn't this luck to Lula? stay with your dad and mom even longer.


"Okay!"


"Daddy must go to Singapore. Or, you want to stay at Daddy's house with Miss Sofia" explains the man.


"No! Nah! I just stay at my dad's. Just go as long as Daddy wants! I'd feel lucky if there wasn't a daddy!"


"Daddy didn't go long, just three days."


"Why fast?! Not a month?!" lula Sahut.


"I'm pinching your cheeks!"


"Look, my cheek is not a pinch!" lula's reply made the man across laugh wide.


"Remember, after three days, Daddy will pick you up! Pack your things, Daddy's gonna take you home."


Lula did not say, it turned out that the words of Mother Zahira were true. If she's gonna be taken away by her husband. "Daddy is not in a hurry to go home! Netap there is okay. But remember the daily rations are still transferred!"


"Basik you! daddy is closing down, get ready to go! If you want to send a message to Daddy, Daddy will bring it!"


Every time his daddy left for sure he would say that to Lula, the same as today. And this time, Lula replied, "i don't want anything from Singapore." He then hung up the phone when he heard the open door.


"Dad!" Call Lula when you see Rainer walking towards the locker room. "Crying father?" lula asked with a trembling voice, her eyes could see clearly that Rainer was trying to hide her tears.
