#Muhammad Qois Albifardzan.

I got home after Isya'. My forehead creased when I found a luxury car parked in front of the house. Who is coming? The feeling, we do not have relatives who have a car with a price of more than one billion.

I immediately parked the bike and took off his shoes. In front of the terrace lined neatly some sandals and shoes belonging to the guest. It was getting curious and suddenly my heart was shaking.

A familiar voice and feelings I've heard. I went into the house, said my greetings, and only then did I know who was coming.

"Assynnnya ... "

"Waaikumsalam .. lah this, Albi has come." Mother immediately exclaimed. Approaching me and embracing me, whispering that I would immediately bow to the guests.

In that room there is already Kyai Musthofa and Nada, as well as Kyai Anwar and also a mother-in-law whose face I can recognize, if she is the wife of Kyai Anwar.

Great people like them come to visit our huts. Is there anything important? I immediately spread my eyes. I'm looking for someone else who might come home. But, baby, I didn't find it. Most likely, they came without Layla's knowledge.

After I sungkem, I sat down next to my mother. Everyone wondered about their arrival. I found out from the face of Nada who was smiling at that time and played her eyebrows towards me. I hinted with my eyes to let him know why he came with his family.

Everything was still silent, the figure of the mother whom I knew the wife of Kyai Anwar was watching me closely. A friendly smile was thrown at me. I politely returned that smile.

I straightened my chest. I think I should go for a while to get changed. The clothes I was wearing were already very shabby and sour.

"I'm sorry, excuse me to go inside first. Get changed first." Immediately I moved and my departure was immediately followed by mother.

I went into the room. Put down the backpack and take a clean shirt from Almari.

"Oh, what's wrong? Why are they here?" I immediately raised a question when the mother was sitting at her bedside. His smile has not faded since. It was as if happy news was being heard. But why, it made his heart even twitch.

"They came to propose to you, le ... They're asking you to be their daughter's companion, Salwa."

My breath was restrained, I could not hide my surprise. It felt like my joints were stiff and the body could not be moved.

"You're in Kyai's big room, Le ... Masya Allah. I'm proud of you. They didn't just talk when they offered you to marry Salwa." Mom was shaking my stiff shoulders.

"Already! You get changed. Find a good shirt, look good. Let them be more satisfied with you."

I still can't move from my place. I opened my closet. He took the shirt in my hand, then replaced it with a new shirt and holster.

"Already, sana! I'm going to go forward again."

"Bu-" I prevented him from leaving. I checked his arm.

"Bu Albi -"

"What's wrong? You are very lucky Le ... You will be happy, your future bright. Mom is very happy at the moment. I did not expect, that one day you will be a successor to the great kyai. You will be respected by many. Not only that, you will get what we cannot give. You are Mulya, Le ... " Mom stroked my cheek. Her tears mixed with happiness poured down her cheeks. Makes me freeze.

"Mom, what this family gave to Albi was no less numerous and grand. Without you, Albi is nobody. So don't humble yourself like that. If the world were in my hands even once, it would be meaningless if the Albi were without this Family. Albi doesn't want a lot of little things to stay with you guys."

"Don't say it like that, le ... You deserve this happiness. This is your destiny, don't let you go through it. Believe me, you will be happily married to Salwa. There is no woman more Sholehah than Salwa, no good family will come to propose to you more than the family of Kyai Anwar. You are very lucky, le ... Don't think about anything else. Get ready and meet your future father-in-law."

Mom pushed me backwards. He rubbed his face violently off, passing by without me wanting to prevent his departure again.

I was still sculpting, the rest of my body pushed itself backward until it stopped at the bed divider. My body sits stiff.

A few days ago, Dad offered Layla to me. A few days ago, they said I could have a more intimate relationship with her daughter. But why, now they seem to forget about talking that night. Was that night they were just kidding? Is that right, it's all just bullshit?

"Astaghfirullah ... Astaghfirullah ... Astaghfirullah ..." I keep stroking my chest. It feels so cramped.

My phone vibrated, there was a message from Nada.

[Hi, don't be like a virgin. Come out!]

I smiled at you, you son of a bitch! My girlfriend had no idea what was going on.

[Yes, a minute.]

I retaliated.

I put that flat thing on the nightstand. Then get ready to see them again. Before that I freshen up, to be fresher and cover all the muddle.

Finished by changing my appearance. I was again surprised by the arrival of Andre who had cheered into the room.

"Bro! crazy you, want a proposal not to say. Evil Lo ... if the cave was not here earlier, surely Lo will not tell you about this, right? What wrong bro cave same Lo! Until something like this you hide!"

"Shut up!" My hands are about to roar Andre's face. He just added to my problem. Why is he here too?

"Well, why are you here?"

"Jawab first. That ... is that up front, Salwa's parents?"

"Yes. Why are you here?"

"You take the cave hape left behind in Lo's backpack."

I looked straight for where my backpack was. Found on the bed and immediately searched. Right, Andre's phone is in there.

"Now" I'm giving her the phone.

"Lo's waiting here. Anyway, you have to tell me about this. Be done!" Andre's already taken my place in my bed.

"Nothing to explain or tell. This is all the new cave knows after coming home. Suddenly they came. Ask it Nada, she knows better."

"He, how do you not know? Oh yes, there was a tone in front. Call him here, gih!"

"Neighbor! The son of an original person calls me."

Andre grinned, he already got his phone and focused on the box thing. He found his comfortable position and started not caring about me.

"I'm out first" I said.

"OKs. Good luck!"

I closed the door a little hard. Maybe he's relaxed and I have to think hard to make important decisions in my life.

I took a deep breath, trying to carve out a smile. They know nothing about my heart, so it is not good if I put hostility and blame this on them.

I took a position next to my mother. Still clumsy and confused himself must behave how. Can I refuse? What is the right reason to reject this proposal? While they alone have no gap to be considered lacking.

I'm the one who's lacking, I'm the one who doesn't deserve Salwa. That girl is so perfect, she can get a much more escort than me. But why, she had to fall in love with a man like me.

Yes Rabb ... Give your servant a hint. I really can't think sane right now.
