Learning to Accept


"Eh. kiss her hands first" Tomi said, as Maudy was about to get out of her car.


Maudy with a pouting face, kissing the back of Tomi's hand. And Tomi, just pecked at his head.


"Ih... Om, napa play kiss - kiss everything." said Maudy annoyed, wiping his head with a tissue on the dashboard.


"Why the hell? on lap. There is no saliva." said Tomi.


"The problem is, fear of rabies."


"Hmmm.have not been years, if you've all kissed me, you're like a thousand-volt attack."


"LT...!! " said Maudy shuddered, and immediately hunted out of the car.


"What time will I pick you up?" ask Tomi.


"Later to chat." Maudy replied immediately died Tomi.


Tomi just shook her head, and smiled at the behavior of her future wife. And start the engine of the car again.


"Eh.. That's not your Papah's car? who are you in between?" ask Susanti.


"Sama Aki - aki." replied Maudy.


"Aki - aki?" susanti.


"That's Om Tomi."


"Gosh, he's not a battery, he's still young."


"Ih. still aki - aki."


"So, hate to be love."


"I'm horrified by me." said Maudy, shuddering.


"So's there any word from Axel?" ask Maudy.


"Axel, already getting a college place, there he can already live his life. Without thinking any more, about you." replied Susanti.


"He didn't ask me?"


"Ask, ask how you are doing. Axel was, the original still loves you, but he was forced to leave, for the good of you and him.Because, being in a relationship with you is useless, will never be able to unite."


"I, too, really still love him. But it's true, how we fight still, we can't be united."


"Are you sure you want to marry Tomi?"


"Well, I have to marry him. I can't refuse Papah's orders." said Maudy.


" But, does Axel know? if I want to marry Tomi?"ask Axel back.


"Know, Axel knows. But don't say anything, and just say oh."

Maudy waited for Tomi, in front of the bus stop in front of her campus, not to wait long. Tomi arrives, and Maudy gets into the car.


"Would you go home or eat first?"


"Rome home, lazy to want to be at home directly lying down." said Maudy.


"Ok, then. I'll order lunch for you, what do you want to eat?"


"It's up to you."


"Whatever, what do you want to eat?"


"Anything Om."


"Om order right, chicken teriyaki same potato, burger yes."


"It's up to Om."


Tomi drives a car, operates her cell phone, orders food in an online app.


The car arrives at Maudy's house, and opens the door to the car, but Tomi resists it by pointing the back of her hand.


"The salute first."


With an annoyed face, Maudy immediately salimed and kissed the back of her hand. Then get off the car.


"Assalamu'alaikum" Tomi said.


"Walaikumsalam." Maudy replied.

"Neng, just got home" said Aunt Inah.


"Eat first." he said again.


"No Bi, thank you. Om Tomi, order me lunch" Maudy said.


"Oh yaudah."


"Bi, later if you come please prepare yes, I want to clean first."


"Yes Neng."


There was the sound of a bell, Aunt Inah directly, walking towards the gate. A courier, brought an order for Maudy.


"On behalf of Maudy." said the courier.


"I took it, but Maudy's mom was clean."


"From Mr. Tomi."


Aunt Inah, take her straight to the dinner table. And prepare for Maudy's lunch.


"It's ready."


"Thank you Bi."


"Neng Maudy, Mr. Tomi attention yes."


"Hmm."


"Auntie agrees, if Neng Maudy married Mr. Tomi. Even though he's old, he's good attention."

"Ih. the neng, ham hem ham hem."


"I want to eat, don't keep talking."


"Hmmm." said Aunt Inah.


"Cock hem again?"


"Yes ham. hem.. ham. hem.." said Aunt Inah straight back to the kitchen.

"Where is your marriage preparation with Maudy?"


"Next week, we propose marriage" Tomi said.


"Hopefully, you didn't choose wrong."


"What is wrong?"


"He's 19, you're 40. A very distant difference."


"God willing, I will guide him."


"Keep, you want to get married just as bad? you can get more than Maudy, who's a little grown up."


"No idea, I could fall in love with him, and Hadi immediately said he wanted to match me and Maudy. At the time, I didn't say I liked Maudy."


"Keep, until now what, Maudy, could've fallen in love?"


"No, but I'm gonna make him fall in love with me."

"That father, keep coming. Who's married, Maudy or Papah anyway?" maudy.


"Today, if you want that marriage. There's a prewedding photo of her, there's nothing at all."


"Betul Maudy, what's the picture? the invitation is already done, but the photo for the reception, there is a kind of travel impression of the love story, and on display at the entrance." said Tomi.


"Lebay deh, what a journey of love, we immediately apply" said Maudy.


"Maudy." said Papah Hadi.


"Yes, tomorrow we are photo prewedding" Maudy said.


"How do you want the concept?" ask Tomi.


"The concept, photo ala - ala, the police chase the chicken mane." replied Maudy.

"Tomi, you have to be patient to face Maudy" said Papah Hadi.


"Iya Hadi, I understand why Maudy is like that. He is, he does not love me. But I'll make him, love me."


"I'm sorry if my son still likes to be rude, I just want to, best for him."


"I promise you, it won't make her unhappy. I will make him, willing to accept me, learn little by little to love me" Tomi said.


"I'll keep your promise."

"What are you doing?" ask Papah Hadi.


"This is Pah, working on college assignments" Maudy replied.


"You don't have any intentions, invite your college friend?"


"No, I won't invite them."


"Why?"


"They just know, I'm dating Axel, and married to him" Maudy said, staring at his laptop.


"I'm sorry Papah, if it has taken away your happiness" said Papah Hadi, and made Maudy stop typing on his laptop.


"You know, you took Tomi by force. But Papah just, wants you to have the best partner."


"Until now, I have not been able to accept Om Tomi. I can't love her yet. So, Maudy please don't be forced to love her."
