Carmen
My heart is so flowery today. Never thought that the handsome man next to me would accept the proposal and be willing to marry me.
I kept looking at Mas Zaky who was focusing on driving. Very handsome my future husband, can not hug huh?!
"Baby, if you can tell Abi you at the right time. Today is too late, you can tell your Abi when she is relaxed. Mm... Tomorrow morning when Om Agas has finished trading and can cuan, you can say well with Om Agas. Remember, say it gently and don't force it!" mas Zaky.
"Yes, Mom!"
After reaching the front of the house I don't want to be separated from Mas Zaky. If I were his wife, I could be with Mas Zaky every day. Anyway I have to find a good time to talk to Abi!
The next day I kept watching Abi while checking my salon report. We used to work together in the living room. Abi trading stocks, I check the reports and sometimes Kak Wira and Kak Dewi participate in making their business reports.
Mommy came to serve snacks and drinks for our friends at work. There's Mommy, I think it's a good time. Not too early in the morning and seen from his face, Abi was already talking today.
"Bi! I want nanya!" I said open the conversation.
"What's Baby?" asked Abi gently as usual.
"When I get married young how?" I don't dare to get to the point. I'll talk first and then I'll get to the important point.
"Hm... Young marriage, huh? If from the experience of Abi and your Brother Wira anyway should not be yes. Marriage is not just about material readiness. You also need mental readiness. You just spoiled like that, how do you deal with the problems in the household later?!" abi's answer that made me start to doubt Abi would approve of my steps.
"Why do you ask me that, honey? Do you want to marry young? Do you have a boyfriend?!" ask Mommy gently.
Hearing Mommy's question, Abi is seen putting on her ears and her face turns tense. Obviously, for Abi I'm still his baby. Who is my lover must escape the criteria. But I'm sure, Mas Zaky is included in the criteria of the ideal son-in-law Abi.
"Actually... I'm...."
I glanced at Abi timidly. Abi and Mommy were waiting for me to finish talking.
"I want to marry Mas Zaky" I replied with courage.
Abi and Mommy looked at each other and both laughed at me. "Ha.ha... Abi thinks what's up! This kid still loves fantasies, My!"
"Yes. Mommy also deg-degan, By! Like this, he's been talking a thousand times!" Mommy and Abi are still laughing. They didn't realize I was talking seriously. My next speech instantly made the laughter on their faces disappear.
"I've proposed to Mas Zaky and Mas Zaky also accepted my proposal."
Sure enough, their laughter disappeared changing with anxious faces. "Don't joke about you, Baby!"
"Darling, you're playing Mommy and Abi, right?!" ask Mommy who is starting to worry.
"I'm serious!" I took out my phone and I showed you a video I asked you to record last night when I proposed to Mas Zaky.
Abi took my HP and was so shocked to see what I was doing. "You're doing this crazy thing?!" abi asked in a tone of voice that began to rise, no longer soft as usual.
"Y-yeah, Bi. I'm cool, right?!" ask me with pride.
"Why, Bi? Times have advanced, now is not the time for women to be proposed. In foreign countries, there are many women who propose to their women. My intentions are good, Bi. I want to get married, isn't marriage perfecting our worship?!" I asked without feeling guilty at all.
Abi nodded his head to hear me. He rubbed his rough face which was now flushed red with anger. Mommy held Abi's hand, as if telling Abi to be patient with me.
"You know who Zaky is? Do you know whose son he is?!" abi asked, holding back his patience.
"Tau, By. Mas Zaky's son Mama Tara and Papa Damar." I replied innocently.
"You also know, didn't you know that his parents betrayed Abi? Why would you marry their child?!"
"That's the past, Bi! Now Abi and Papa Damar are fine. Abi also has a family that is no less happy. I love to die with Mas Zaky, Bi. What less did Mas Zaky try to become Abi's daughter-in-law?! Handsome, successful, rich and kind. All the criteria of Abi's ideal son-in-law are in Mas Zaky!" I said I don't want to lose.
"No! But Abi doesn't agree!" Abi stood up and left me. I quickly caught up and whined at Abi.
"Bi! Restui yes, please!"
"No! Once Abi said no, yes no! Abi doesn't want you to marry Damar's son!" Abi then went into the room and closed the door.
"Bi! Don't dong! Mas Zaky just want to accept my proposal, Abi time does not want to approve anyway?!" I said while knocking on Abi's room door.
My efforts were in vain. If Abi says no, it's hard to change. But don't call me Carmen, Abi's most beloved son, if you can't make Abi change her mind.
"Well, if Abi doesn't want my blessing, I'm going on a hunger strike!" I went into the room and locked the door.
I also carry out my words. I really didn't go out to eat. Thankfully there was still a stock of snacks in my little fridge. Safe for a few days.
Mommy was most worried because I didn't go out to eat. Several times Mommy persuaded me to eat but I still did not open the door. Sorry, yes, My. If I hadn't sipped like this, Abi wouldn't have approved of my relationship with Mas Zaky. My attempt to propose and humiliate myself will fail later.
Two days. My food stock is starting to thin. The mineral water in my room dispenser was also running out. Abi didn't even go to my room to persuade me.
I heard a noise in front of the room. I quietly pressed my ear against the door and heard Abi and Mommy fighting. Mommy had Abi persuade me.
"By two days Carmen's on hunger strike, Bi! Comeon! Lower Abi's ego. After all Zaky is a good kid, he's Mommy's cousin too. We better pray for Carmen to make the choice right. Go, Bi!" persuade Mommy.
Abi did not argue. He finally lowered his ego because he didn't want to see me sick and Mommy was sad. Abi knocked on my bedroom door.
"Carmen, you bad boy! Come outside! Abi bless you with Zaky! Have Zaky come with his parents to propose to you!" the words I had been waiting for were finally spoken.
I quickly opened the door and hugged Abi. "What, Bi? Thanks, Bi! Abi is so good!"
"But you promised Abi, never regret your choice! You should be happy with your choice!" abi's Message.
I'm nodding. "I promise, Bi! Promise!"
