(Former) Prince's Wife
059

"My arrival was to propose to my father's daughter, Sugiwa."

Fadlan who was enjoying the dish, choked on the water he drank.

The man I spoke to, looked at his confused daughter, Sugiwa, the girl I was posing for.

Before, not for half an hour, Fadlan was able to summarize the life story of Sugiwa.

I decided she was perfectly suited to be the prince's wife.

Although not yet formed perfectly to appear to accompany in major events, he has a solid foundation.

He will not be tempted by anything after he believes something.

The initial intention of visiting my teacher turned into a proposal session.

"He is Kanjeng Prince Anunga..."

Fadlan took over the introductory session.

The pair of father and son listened to Fadlan intently.

I heard Fadlan mention my various advantages as a husband.

Very clever he judged.

"...he was Mbah Gedhe's student."

Fadlan finished his explanation.

"Where is Mbah Gedhe?" tanyaku later.

He usually sits on the porch.

I used to be able to keep an eye on this house, because it hasn't been built around it.

Now the right and left sides are already very dense.

Make it sultry if you linger here for a long time.

But it's fine. This woman, she deserves to be fought for.

Mbah Gedhe always told me how smart his granddaughter was.

I also remember he was taken to an important meeting and suddenly expressed an opinion that everyone agreed to.

At that time, I, who was older than him, did not understand adult speech.

"Mbah Gedhe died ten years ago" Sugiwa replied in a low tone.

It won't be heard when we talk.

"Innalillahi..."

"Emmm. Mbah's message did not want to be reported by his death, except to neighbors around," explained Sugiwa.

I nodded in understanding. Sometimes the eyes will dedicate their life to the end.

The man, whose youth spent more time on the battlefield, initially refused to re-enter the upper world.

It was not strange that he hid his identity until the end.

"What about my proposal? Do you want to be my wife? To be the first lady next to me?" tanju.

"I don't know you yet.Wedding is not a testing ground. I want to marry once in a lifetime. There are some things that property and power cannot buy" said Sugiwa rejecting me subtly.

"good. We'll get to know each other for the next three months. How, Sir?" I asked Sugiwa's father.

"The one who decided was Sugiwa. As long as you don't cross the line" he said.

"I agree. On condition that you should not protest with my answer and we are good friends, how?" tawang Sugiwa's.

Heh. It seems very good to bargain this woman.

He also seemed to be about to subtly refuse.

I pulled the corner of the lip.

Attractively.

What an interesting woman.

"good. I accept whatever your decision is."

That half-failed proposal is the end of our serious conversation.

They took meals and prayers at the nearby mosque.

Along the way, many greeted Sugiwa's father.

From what I heard, he had been a teacher but dropped out due to state regulations that required teachers to continue school, he did not have the time and money to continue his education.

"If you want, you can continue your education in our country. We don't limit the age of students" I suggested.

"No need. I am happy to be a farmer. Evening can still teach njai," he replied.

"Official?"

"Just volunteer with the other young people."

Hmmmm. It turns out that in this age there are still people who do not want to be paid.

What an amazing experience.

It turns out that in this crowded village, many interesting stories.

"Sir, what about Miss Genthis?" ask Fadlan.

This man seemed to be very incessant in telling me to part with Gendhis.

Asking continues.

Like I have another answer.

I leaned my back against the wooden chair.

"Emmm.."

It's great that this back rests on hard wood.

Leaving Gendhis? I don't know.

There's a heavy one in here.

But anyway, it's true. She doesn't deserve to be the prince's wife.

"No need to ask. Genphis is my girl. Don't keep reminding of his past. Because I decided to accept it myself .." I said hanging.

"... You can't see the twinkle of his eyes? Very plain. You read her life story, but not her heart. I don't know why, I'm sure he doesn't want to live his dark life either. And his words are not completely wrong, right? She really sold her parents .. since childhood."

I can't imagine how dark Gendhis life was.

He has extended his hand to me. And all this time does not show its reckless nature.

He could have changed, right?

And I can help him.

Then why don't I help him?

"Then Miss Sugiwa???"

"He's strong. He can handle problems well. Suitable to be the Prince's Wife."

I'm sure it is.

"But sir, Miss Sugiwa grew up in a modest family. He did not understand the meaning of polygamy. It would also be sensitive if you were once found to have another woman" Fadlan said.

"Who wants polygamy? It's burdensome to life," I sniffled.

Don't ask me how many times I've faced a book about polygamy.

The days approaching baligh. Always talk about that.

What does it say about the promise of heaven for a sincere wife?

Ja.

But not only that.

In fact, the responsibility for polygamous men is more terrible than to meet the enemy on the battlefield.

If in a dense fog, accidentally kill a fellow believer, it can replace it with a diyat.

But if we cannot give justice to the queens on the faint ark, who can save themselves?

Only those who have passed the standard of faith deserve it.

I haven't been that bad.

"Then why did you propose to Miss Sugiwa?!!" scream Fadlan.

I am so emotional, my friend.

I pat her shoulder so she wakes up.

The red face turned away.

I gave him a glass of water.

"Teachers don't want to take a salary from Romo. Let's just say I gave it through his granddaughter."

Instantly Fadlan who had calmed down, swooped his eyebrows.

"That means returning the favor?" search Fadlan.

"Pretend so. After all, as a prince, I need a proper woman."

"You realize that Miss Gendhis is inappropriate. But it's still a connection" Fadlan said.

"It's about the heart." I said.

Exhales.

The beautiful face of Gendhis.

The face that always blushed when I saw me coming.

Plain eyes, like a cat asking to be protected.

"You don't know because you've never been in love." I said.

"Who did I never fall in love with?!"

Haiha. The stiff man can fall in love too.

Fadlan disappeared behind the door after expressing her protest.

I looked at the stars in the sky.

Fadlan's advice is not wrong.

I was only defeated by my heart.

Gende...

Sugiva...

Both have different characters.

If Sugiwa was shy about all the men he met, Gendhis dared to look at the man besides me.

Makes me feel special.

He was embarrassed just in front of me.

Not long after Fadlan came out wearing a cocoa shirt and sarong.

He took out a bicycle that had been on display since yesterday.

"Where are you going?" my many.

"Mosque," he replied shortly.

"But the mosque is only five steps."

I pointed at the magnificent mosque in front with my eyes.

Fadlan glanced at the mosque then glanced at me.

"The other "mosque. I want to get blessed."

I cringed in wonder.

What a strange statement.

Why do you feel blessed far away if there is a mosque in front of your eyes?
