For God's sake, I'm sincere
The Meeting of Two Families
Alizha put thin makeup on her face with only powder and lipbalm for her lips to look more fresh. Alizha wearing a peach-colored robe combined with a matching khimar, making Alizha's appearance very simple yet beautiful.
Finally, after various persuasions from his family, Alizha agreed to his betrothal. Tonight right after prayers Isya' Alizha family will have dinner at the restaurant with the family of prospective Alizha.
"Zha, cepet woi ntar overnight!" yelled Adib from behind the door.
"He's done with this" replied Alizha.
Alizha's family car sped up quickly splitting the fairly solid streets of Surabaya.
It did not take long finally their car arrived in front of the restaurant parking lot. Alizha and her family got out of the car and walked towards the restaurant.
"Aw who wants to meet the prospective husband, ciee," Adib seduced Alizha while pinching her cheeks.
"Ih paan the hell Bang, sick tofu," said Alizha as she stroked her cheek.
Adib laughed when he saw his sister singing lips because of his nosy actions.
"Mir, there they are" pointed out Grandma.
"Dad, Mother" replied the Mother. They also approached the table that had been occupied by one family.
"Assalamu'alaikum" said Alizha's family at the same time.
"Wa'alaikumussalam," replied the Afif family simultaneously.
Alizha watched one by one the family members who were sitting in their seats. The dining table has a lot of food and drinks. While Alizha still has not found a young man to be betrothed to her.
"Sorry if you wait a long time" said Grandma.
"We just came, so not for long" replied Oma.
"Know this is Alizha my granddaughter who wants to be betrothed" said Grandma while holding Alizha's shoulder.
"Alizha" said Alizha, extending her hand to Mama Afif and Omanya. As for his father he only cupped both hands in front of the chest.
"It's so pretty, son" said Oma, kissing Alizha's cheek. Alizha replied with just a smile.
"Yes, you are beautiful, my God," said Mama.
"Eh, I'm used to aunty. Thanks," replied Alizha politely.
"Geez how are you Ren? Sure enough," Grandma said to Oma Reni.
"Alhamdulillah as you now see Num" replied Oma.
"Where is your husband? How can I see?" asked Oma while wailing towards the corner of the room.
"Well, he's not coming. Afraid of catching a cold, he said at home."
"Haha, can do it."
"This is Adib, right? Wow already big yes now, more saucy," said Oma while approaching Adib who is still standing next to Alizha.
"Hehe yes" answered Adib.
"Where's the Afif? How can you not look?" ask Grandma.
"Afif to go to the toilet for a while will also come," replied Oma.
Then came a tall and strong man. At once Alizha's face looked up and found a handsome man sitting next to his family.
Suddenly Alizha was transfixed to see the man's face not even her eyes blinked at all. His blood rippled rapidly and his heart beat violently as he looked into the eyes of the man.
"Well, she lived a long life" said Mama Qila
'Is he perhaps the one who will be betrothed to me?' inner Alizha.
"Assalamu'alaikum's chat. I'm Afif." he said then reached out to Alizha's father.
"Wa'alaikumussalam Wr. Wb." they said in unison.
Then Afif glanced at the woman in front of him, Alizha. He thinks that Alizha is different from the girls out there. Alizha's appearance is all covered and very guarding. Afif was amazed and interested in Alizha. But the thought he lost for a moment because he also had to take care of the heart of the lover.
"Afif" Afif told Alizha and her mother, cupping both hands in front of her chest.
Alizha and her Mother simply replied with a nod with a smile.
"Thank you aunt" replied Afif wrongly.
"Oh yeah, you still want Alizha? He who used to like you jahilin. You didn't want to?" mama Afif asked her son.
'Who liked my jahilin as a child?' inner Alizha.
"Where is Mah? Afif forgot not to suck."
"When kindergarten school it's the next door neighbor, before we move house," said Mama Afif.
"Sorry Afif forgot."
"Yaudah Qil, I have not met for a long time. It has been many years, too" said Mother Alizha.
"Yes yes, yes."
"Now, Afif works where are you boys?" ask Grandma.
"I work at the hospital, Grandma. And thank God I am a Doctor" Afif replied politely.
"Well, it's great of you" Grandma said to Afif.
"Hehe was just a Nek" said Afif.
'Oh, so he's really a doctor. Awesome still young, ' Inner Alizha.
"What about Alizha's lecture? Is it good and okay?" ask Mama Afif to Alizha.
"Alhamdulillah smoothly Aunty, and only yesterday Alizha graduated," replied Alizha.
"Wah alhamdulillah that is. Is it work or what? Is it the same marriage as Afif? hehe," said Mama Afif while teasing Alizha.
"Look ahead, Auntie. But if Alizha himself really wants to work first so that he can earn his own income," said Alizha.
"Yes it's true that you work so as not to be in vain with your lecture," said his Papa Afif.
"yes Om. Doain to be able to get a job quickly yes Om," said Alizha.
The two families were chatting with fun already look familiar. But the difference between Afif and Alizha who had been silent since then no one spoke to each other except to talk to their families and that was just answering the questions posed to them.
After talking, they also eat food that has been ordered with pleasure.
Then Alizha's family say goodbye first and can't night-night because tomorrow Alizha's father will go out of town.
"We say yes it's night because tomorrow I go out of town so gabisa night-night so I can rest" said Nabhan his father Alizha.
"Oh yes please." replied Papa Afif.
"Pamit go home first Oma, Auntie. Assalamu'alaikum," said Alizha while kissing the back of Oma and Mama Qila's hands.
"Home home, Om, assalamu'alaikum" Alizha continued on his Papa Afif.
"Be careful" said Oma.
"Yes. Thank you for dinner" Grandma Reni replied.
Alizha's family has returned. The Afif family is still in the restaurant.
"Where's Fif?" ask Papa.
"Where is Pa?" ask Afif back.
"Yes, your candidate" replied Papa.
Afif also smiled when he remembered Alizha's face, I don't know what possessed her.
Papa Aryo also smiled when he saw the behavior of Afif who he thought he already liked the girl he would be betrothed to.
His father nudged Afif's arm. "Beautiful right? Look at how it looks so closed. Means he can take care of himself, let alone you." seduced the Papa.
"Lumayan is."
"Jaudah we go home yuk, Mama is already sleepy nih tired," said Mama.
"Jaudah come on" said Oma.
