I Found Love With You
4. Matchmaking 2

After the time of dzuhur, Pak Musa's entourage arrived at the house of the Sadiyah family. Moses came with his son Joseph and daughter-in-law Indriani.

“Assalamu’alaikum.” Pak Musa gives greetings to the residents of the house.

“Wa’alaikumsalam.” replied Rostita and Darmawan compact.

“Please enter, Sir.” Darmawan invited Pak Musa's entourage to sit on the sofa in the living room.

Moses sat in the middle between Joseph and Indriani.

“As I have explained on the phone that we are here to propose to the granddaughter of my best friend, Junaidi to my grandson. Hopefully the good intentions of our family can be well received by the family of the late Junaidi. How about Ita Nak?” Mr. Moses again conveyed the intention to match his grandson with Sadiyah and asked the decision taken by Rostita.

“I have conveyed the good intentions of Mr. Musa who wants to wave Sadiyah to the father's grandson. God willing, our family welcomes this match. Sadiyah welcomed with airy chest over the proposal submitted by the family of Mr. Musa.” Rostita gave an answer that made Pak Musa's heart feel relieved and happy.

“Alhamdulillah..” Excited Mr. Moses, Yusuf and Indriani together to give thanks for the good welcome from the Rostita family.

“Can we meet with Sadiyah?” tanya Indriani can't wait to meet his future daughter-in-law.

Rostita stood up from her seat and walked towards Sadiyah's room to tell her to go out and meet her future husband's family.

“Neng, help aunt in the kitchen, bring drinks and snacks for your future in-laws.” Rostita said as she passed towards the kitchen.

Sadiyah followed her aunt walking towards the kitchen. They both brought trays of snacks and drinks for Moses, Joseph and Indriani.

Sadiyah placed the dishes containing the cakes on the table while glancing at Joseph.

“Astaghfirulloh, is that the man who will be my future husband. He looks a little old. It's not wrong Bi Ita accepted the man to be my husband. Even though he's handsome but he seems a little old. How many years is our age difference. Ah, never mind, maybe it has become my fate to be betrothed to the rather old man. Hopefully, my decision to accept this matchmaking can make the family bond Aki and her best friend can be intertwined even stronger. Patience, patience...” Sadiyah strengthened her heart to accept this match.

“Cantics.” Indriani.

Sadiyah only smiled hearing the praise of the woman in front of her.

After finishing moving the entire plate from the tray to the table, Sadiyah then kissed the backs of the hands of Moses, Joseph and Indriani.

“Neng Iyah, this is Pak Musa, Pak Yusuf and Bu Indriani. Mr. Moses is a friend of Aki.” Darmawan introduced the names of the people in front of them.

“So Sadiyah this is her call Iyah?” ask Indriani gently.

Sadiyah nodded her head slightly.

“Yeah.” Call Mr. Moses.

Sadiyah raised her head to hear Moses calling her name.

“Daddy, have heard the explanation from Amang and your Aunt about the purpose of our arrival?” ask Moses softly.

Again Sadiyah could only nod her head.

“Iyah can call Aki with Aki Musa. Aki is a friend of Aki Kamu, Aki Idi. We have been friends since we were very young. Your Aki is very meritorious for Aki's life. Maybe Aki's family wouldn't be like this without your Aki's help. Aki you sacrificed a lot for Aki and Aki's family. Aki and aki you have made a promise that we will tie our friendship with our children's matchmaking. But we did not succeed in trying to match our children because God did not make our children fool each other. Forgive Aki that this Aki is being so selfish. Maybe I already have my own choice. If indeed Iyah already had her own choice, then Aki would not force Iyah to accept this matchmaking. Does Iyah already have her own options?” ask Moses Sir.

Actually, Mr. Moses already knew from the story of Rostita that Sadiyah did not have a close male friend. But Mr. Moses in this case wanted to solidify his good intentions without hurting Sadiyah's side. Pak Musa will be breastfed if Sadiyah says that he already has a heart patch.

“Neng, answer a question from Aki Musa.” Whisper Rostita because he saw Sadiyah was silent.

“Numbered, Aki.” Sadiyah replied softly while shaking her head.

“Alhamdulillah.” Moses gave thanks.

“Dad, would you like to accept Aki's grandson as a future husband?” ask Moses Sir.

Many things were milling in Sadiyah's mind so that he did not listen to further questions from Mr. Moses.

Rostita nudged Sadiyah's arm with her elbow.

“Eh, yes what is Aki?” ask Sadiyah gelagapan.

Yusuf and Indriani smiled at the nervous looking son-in-law.

“Daddy, would you accept Aki's grandson as Iyah's future husband?” repeat Mr. Moses.
