I Found Love With You
3. Matchmaking
“So who wants to marry?” tanya Sadiyah was more astonished.
******************
“Sir Musa and Aki were friends since they were young. He said that Aki was the one who helped him a lot when he started his business. Aki who gives capital, Aki is also the one who supports him a lot until finally now he can succeed.” Darmawan explained the beginning of the friendship of Mr. Moses and his deceased father-in-law.
Darmawan pulled and exhaled his breath with a little rough because he felt the heavy burden on his shoulders.
“Sir Musa has a grandson who is old enough to get married. He asked your Aunt as your guardian to marry you to his grandson, Neng.” Darmawan revealed the heavy burden on Sadiyah.
Instantly the atmosphere became silent.
“This is not wrong, Mang?” asked Sadiyah after a moment of silence trying to digest the words thrown from Darmawan's mouth.
“Sir Musa explained that it was because of his mistake that the plan to marry his son to your Aunt was canceled and the plan to marry his daughter to your father failed as well because each of us already had a choice respectively. Therefore, Mr. Moses no longer wanted to fail in fulfilling his promise to Aki. Mr. Moses no longer wants to be late to ask for a daughter-in-law.” Darmawan tried to explain as clearly as possible the intention of Mr. Moses to wave Sadiyah to his grandson.
“Amang and Aunty can reject it right?” asked Sadiyah who had begun to blush her face because she was holding back emotions that did not know what kind of emotions hit her, whether angry, disappointed, or embarrassed.
“But it Bi...” Sadiyah could not continue her sentence because she was confused about what she was going to say.
“The plan is this afternoon they will come here.” Rostita said suddenly.
“Why so suddenly Bi. It has not yet prepared itself. My heart and head were still shocked to hear this news. Just now Aunt said that Iyah wants to be proposed, uh this is her application today. Iyah has not prepared heart and self Iyah, Bi.” Sadiyah began to sulk at her aunt. Although Sadiyah felt that this matchmaking was a strange thing but inevitably Sadiyah had to accept it because of her affection for the family. Sadiyah did not want to be branded as a child of disobedience if she did not obey the wishes of her grandfather and maybe also her father.
“Bibi also feels this is too soon, just last week Mr. Moses met his aunt, two days ago he called that today will come to propose to you, Neng.” Rostita Sahut.
“Excuse Aunty Yes Neng.” Rostita hugged Sadiyah tightly.
Sadiyah could only nod her head and hugged her aunt tightly. Right now, Sadiyah misses her mother's embrace terribly. Wulan, her mother always hugged her if she felt sad. Sadiyah also misses Nandang, her father, who always defends and covets her in any situation. Although ten years have passed since both parents died, Sadiyah still remembers and feels the warmth that Wulan and Nandang always give.
