How, So Marriage?
Family Request

"For the ijab kabul event tomorrow, it is not Desi who will carry out the wedding. But you and Daniel will take the place of the bride and groom" replied Alesya's father.

"Huh?" Alesya immediately looked confusedly at the father. He still could not digest the answer well.

"What does this mean, Dad? Who's getting married?" 

This time, it was Daniel's mother who spoke. Mama Daniel who was actually still crying, immediately changed positions next to Alesya who happened to be sitting on a long sofa facing the television.

"Ca, you already know the story about Angga's behavior, right? There's no way we're forcing Desi to marry him. We couldn't possibly have seen our only daughter hurt during her marriage."

"Then, for the matter of wedding preparations, we are also unlikely to cancel the event. How will we deal with the guests if they find out that our daughter has been betrayed. We certainly won't be able to deal with people's talk, Ca." Mama Daniel paused her words because she was sobbing again.

Alesya digested little by little the words of Daniel's mother. And it's true what he said. A lot of people will talk about it later. Moreover, many of papa Daniel's business colleagues will be present at the wedding reception in three days.

After a moment of quieting down, mama Daniel made a sound again.

"Darling, my mother apologized if you had to be involved to solve the problems that befell our family. But besides, mama also thought about Daniel's future. After what happened to Desi, mama felt very difficult to accept new people. Mama's just afraid that mama's kids go back wrong to find their partner."

"Ca, mom and dad really hope you'll marry Daniel. You've known Daniel since childhood. You also know the nature and character of Daniel. We are sure you love each other too. So, it will not be difficult for you to grow love between you later" said mama Daniel.

Alesya just kept silent as she kept staring at Daniel's mama. He still needed time to digest the words of Daniel's mother.

"Me-married, Ma?" Alesya reassured.

"Yes, Honey. You want to marry Daniel?" Mama Daniel seemed hopeful.

"Why should Caca, Ma?" Alesya was still confused.

"As you said, dear. I feel traumatized if there is someone new. I don't know why by imagining it it feels like your heart hurts. Daniel is a boy. Mama's worried that if she gets married, she won't treat him well."

"But, if Daniel were to marry you, I'm sure Daniel would definitely get the best attention and treatment. Mom and Dad have a lot of faith in you, son. Want to, marry Daniel?" mama Daniel said, clenching her hands together in front of her chest.

Alesya remained silent. He was confused as to what to answer. Alesya turned towards her parents. Until the father, back to sound.

"Ca, we as parents, can't impose a will. Even if you object to our request, we also cannot force. There's only one thing I want to say. Of all the men I know, no one I trust can take good care of you but Daniel."

"From childhood, you grew up together. You also know each other. I'm sure, in the future, you can be a good partner and life partner. You can be a friend, a husband and wife, even later can be parents who can complement each other."

"So, father and mother hope, you accept our request. We couldn't have picked a bad choice for our kids, Ca. We believe you can have this marriage well into the future. How, Son?"

The actions of Daniel's mother surprised Alesya. He really didn't expect that Daniel's mama would do such a thing.

"Ma, don't do this. Come on, get up, Ma." Alesya tugged at Daniel's mother's arm to get up. However, it did not work immediately because Daniel's mother remained unmoved.

"No, Ca. Mama won't stand until you're married to Daniel. I don't think I trust any other woman who can look after Daniel other than you, honey. Hiks hyks." Mama Daniel's still sobbing.

Alesya turned to face Daniel and her parents. After which, he also directly looked at Daniel who was sitting on the single sofa beside him.

"Da?" Alesya wanted to ask Daniel for help.

This time, Daniel turned his head and looked at Alesya deeply. Daniel didn't want to get married this way either. However, as he thought of his family's good name, Daniel had no other choice but to accept his parents' request.

"If I'm being honest, I still don't want to get married right now, Le. We are young. There are still many things we need to achieve. But, we can't choose and determine what will happen in our lives."

"Lo knows for ourselves, we have been preparing for this wedding for a long time. We have absolutely no thoughts on such a matter. But the truth is, you see for yourself, right?"

"Gue can't make you accept this marriage, Le. If I were you, I might think about it too. Marriage, for me, doesn't just happen for a year or two. But, forever. As long as our breath and blood are still flowing, we must keep fighting and learn to live the ark of marriage."

"If you want to marry me, I also can not promise a marriage that is always smooth without any problems. But, I can make sure we'll always work it out together."

"Lo knows me, and I know you too. For the love, you know I love you. I make sure I will always take care and try to make you and our children happy later. But for love, I'm not sure I can walk on my own. Let's come together to bring out and grow that sense" Daniel said at length.

Alesya, who heard Daniel's words, immediately rounded her eyes and mouth. It was only this time that Alesya heard Daniel's long words like this.

After that, Alesya's two parents also started to persuade Alesya again. In fact, Daniel's mother did not want to stand up before Alesya agreed to the request.

There was nothing Alesya could do afterwards. The entire Alesya family, placed great hopes on him. 

Closing her eyes and with trembling lips, Alesya answered her family's request.

"alright. By saying bismillahbornrohmanirrohim, I accepted this marriage plan."

"Alhamdulillah."
