Being Married to My First Love
Dream Meaning
Pov Reyna's.
Mother Maya took me inside her office. This is the first time I have entered this room. Looks neat and clean. Mommy was brushing me, sitting on the long sofa in the corner of her office. From the glass I saw the sky was cloudy.
"Reyna, do you have a boyfriend?" I was surprised by Mother's question, as soon as my gaze turned to Mother.
"Emm. Don't have it, Bun." Answer's short. Mother smiled at me.
"Reyna, will you not be your daughter-in-law?"
Mother's question instantly made my eyes round. How not, being Mother's daughter-in-law means I have to marry Abi.
"Mother, uh it's a joke." Mother must not be serious, I thought.
"Darling, Mother is serious."
Hah.so seriously Mother wants me to marry Brother Abi. I was really surprised. This has never been thought of at all in my mind. Moreover, I just knew him two days ago.
"But, Bun. Reyna and Abi just met. How could Abi want to propose to Reyna?"
"Begini Reyn, Kemaren after returning from the restaurant Abi asked for the opinion of Mommy to propose to you. Of course Mommy is just as surprised as you were just now. Abi said, these two days know you, he feels you are a good and comfortable child when invited to chat. Moreover, he is interested in seeing you who are hijab, signifying you are a woman who is praying, Abi is sure you can be a good wife for him. You can grow a sense of love, later after marriage. Mother also thinks the same with Abi. Mommy will be happy if you want to be Mother's daughter-in-law.How do you think, Reyn would not marry Abi?"
When Mommy said Kak Abi's intention to propose to me, I was really moved. I feel that God has granted my wish to marry a man who wants me to be his wife. Not because I had to marry him.
I looked at Mother with teary eyes. I am happy to feel wanted. Because all this time I had a hard time accepting the presence of men who started approaching me, like the trauma of the past I was afraid if finally when I loved someone, but someone just wanted to play with my feelings.
"Mother, Reyna was very happy to hear Kak Abi's good intentions to propose to Reyna. Reyna could see Abi's sister appreciating a woman. Like Abi who loves Mother and Fely very much, Reyna is sure Abi will also treat his wife well. How could Reyna possibly reject a man as good as Abi's sister."
"Thank you Reyna, Mommy is so Happy." Mother hugged me tightly.
"Mother, I'm sorry Reyna, but there's something Reyna has to explain."
"What dear?" Mother looks frowned.
"Mother knows Reyna is only an orphan, all this time Grandma and Grandpa Reyna ever told me is not Grandma and Reyna's biological grandfather. Reyna loved and respected them. Reyna will approve Abi's proposal if Grandpa and Grandma approve."
"That's not a problem, baby. Mother accepts you as you are. Mother and Abi will come to your grandfather's house to propose to you officially." She smiled and hugged me again.

This afternoon an important meeting with the client is over. After the meeting, Rangga went straight into his room. Two days in the city of Surabaya makes it quieter than before. So tired he immediately fell asleep without changing clothes. His feet were half covered still wearing his shoes.
Two hours later he woke up feeling hungry. His eyes blinked and he sat on the side of the bed. He remembered his dream just now. It was like seeing Grandpa sitting in a wheelchair waving his hands. He thought about what the dream meant.
"Tulilit..tulilit...tulillit."
He saw a call coming in from Papi.
"Hello...Pi."
"Ga, you don't have to go back to Solo. Go straight to Jakarta. Grandpa's sick. You go there first, tomorrow Papi will follow."
"Good Pi." Phone's closed.
Rangga was surprised, apparently this is the meaning of his dream. Rangga hastily asked his secretary to book a ticket to Jakarta with the nearest flight schedule.
