Aksara For Arsyilla
Giving a Good Date
When Arsyilla was still in the shopping center, at home also appeared Khaira who seemed to discuss with her husband.
“So when should Arsyilla's wedding be held, Pa?” ask her husband, Radit.
“Actually all days are good yes Ma, it's just that Papa actually feels so fast releasing Arsyilla.” The man looked at his wife.
Marriage is not just a sense of happiness, but there are also hints of pain for parents who will be willing to let go of their daughter to unite with the man who became her husband. That's what Radit felt this time, there was a sense that it was as if he was restrained that the man would immediately release his daughter.
Khaira then nodded, “That's how life is, Pa... it used to be certain that both of our parents were also unwilling to let go of their children to marry. Unfortunately, with everything that happened inevitably Arsyilla had to get married immediately. Yes, although Mama is still worried about their status as Lecturers and Students in one faculty.”
Radit then looked at his wife, “Tenakan Ma, they will also be careful. It's just, I used to have a dream to let go of Arsyilla being able to marry the man she loved. This time, it seems that Papa's dream was not fulfilled. We don't know if Aksara loves our daughter. All happened because of that one-night havoc.”
“Maybe it used to feel like Ammar's father when he let me off to marry you. Don't know if you love me and vice versa. It's just that Ammar's father believed that you were a good young man, we knew each other as children. That's it,” he said with a glaring look as if returning to the past.
“However, our marriage is not based on one night's mistakes, dear. I was guilty of you at the beginning of our marriage. But I made it up, didn't I? The words of Ammar's father are evident because he has handed over his precious only daughter to me,” he said and a smile appeared on his face.
Slowly Khaira nodded, “Iya, it has been decades together. I never get bored at all. There is precisely I want to continue to accompany you to whiten my hair,” Khaira said this time in earnest.
The years that they passed both had indeed been so long, it was undeniable that many ups and downs they had experienced together. However, there is always love that makes both survive and want to always be together until the end of their age.
Khaira then paused her remarks, she again asked her husband, “So when do we visit the family of Doctor of the Bisma and give the wedding date of Arsyilla and Aksara?” ask her husband again.
“Given this wedding is an emergency and its nature should be immediate, maybe one more month can be, Ma. What do you think Mama?” radit asked, asking for consideration from his wife.
Khaira seemed silent, thinking about everything first, until finally the woman nodded, “Alright Pa, next month ya.”
***
Two days later …
Radit and Khaira both visited the residence of the Doctor of Bhishma. They come not just to say hello, but to give certainty of the good date they have discussed to marry Arsyilla and Aksara.
“Goodnight,” greet Khaira and Radit together, when there is a figure of Kanaya who opened the door for them.
Letting Radit and Khaira wait for a moment in the living room, Kanaya called her husband who was still in his room. Not waiting long, the four met.
“Welcome Mr. Radit and wife, you've been looking forward to both of you coming here.” Doctor Bisma also said that he and Kanaya also waited long enough for the couple who would be their candidate.
Radit and Khaira both smiled, not expecting that the rich-looking Aksara parents would welcome them well.
“So, here's Doctor Bisma. We came here to give you a good date and day. It is undeniable that all the days and dates are good, it is just that as a party of the bride, we have to prepare everything in advance. So, after a discussion and a little getting ready how about Aksara and Arsyilla wedding held next month?” radit asked Kanaya and Bhishma.
From the side of Kanaya and Bhishma also nodded, “Alright, no problem Mr. Radit. After all, like the previous talk that our children's marriage is only held at home and with some close family only.”
The four both nodded and agreed that the marriage of Arsyilla and Aksara would take place next month. After that, Khaira looked curious about the figure of Aksara.
“Sorry, if I may know where the action is?” Khaira asked, it felt like she wanted to see also the figure of her future daughter-in-law.
“Oh, Aksara is in the office, Mom. Incidentally he helped me to draw a real estate project that is being developed by Jaya Corp.,” Kanaya replied.
Both Khaira and Radit then both nodded, at least in the mind of Radit and Khaira now his prospective son-in-law is also a young figure who already has a job, so that he can support Arsyilla.
Realistic thinking from all parents that they expect to have a son-in-law who has a job. Whatever his job, but his son-in-law can be responsible for supporting his wife. Therefore, hearing that Aksara already has the work of Khaira at least feels calm. His son-in-law candidate is not only a full student who works and earned a bachelor's degree, but also already has a job.
“However, Aksara does not stay here with us, Mom. After work, he lived independently in his apartment near Jaya Corp. He said so that access to work and college becomes easier and not hit by traffic jams,” continued Kanaya who explained about the figure of his son to Khaira and Radit.
“So, a house this big is only inhabited alone?” ask Khaira again.
Kanaya nodded, “Iya .. we only live together in a house this big. There are also some helpers who helped us here.”
Khaira said in her heart, at least she and Radit did too. When Arsyilla was teaching, and Arshaka was studying in Singapore, his big house was shared only. Maybe sometimes feel lonely, but the two can actually build each other and fill the void to be able to revive and enliven the house.
After that Radit looks back to talk, “Alright if so, we think our purpose to come here has been conveyed. We beg you to say goodbye, hopefully what is planned and aspired together can be done.”
After what was the purpose of their arrival was both spoken and the Doctors of Bhishma and Kanaya also agreed, so Radit and Khaira said goodbye. His purpose came to convey the day and date for the marriage of Arsyilla and Aksara. So, it is felt that the goal has been achieved, both of them immediately say goodbye from the residence of Doctor Bisma.
