I'm Surrendering, Mom!
THE AMM 45

Hendarto stared unbearably at Gisela who looked very worried. As a father, he could feel the turmoil his daughter was feeling. It was not that Hendarto could bear and would be tough on his daughter, but Hendarto did it solely for the good of the princess. 

"I'm sorry if you've forced you to accept Dirga's offer. Papa's wrong. If you don't want to accept it, that's okay. Let me talk to Dirga later." Hendarto ended the conversation because he did not get a response at all from his daughter. He realized, he should not force Gisela. 

"Pa—"

"It is better now that you pack up and go out of town or abroad. Papa's gonna close all your identities and ...." 

"Gisel will accept Dirga's offer, Pa." Gisela cut off the papa's words to make the man stop his words right then and there. Scrutinized the princess's face to look for earnestness there. 

"You sure?" ask Hendarto. Without a doubt Gisela nodded quickly. Hendarto quickly hugged Gisela tightly and kissed his daughter's forehead lovingly. "Hopefully after this you will find happiness."

"But, Pa ... What about Om Bhishma and Aunt Yulia?" gisela asked worriedly. 

"Don't think too much. They will definitely still agree no matter what Dirga's decision." Hendarto kissed Gisela on the forehead again and hurried off to discuss this with his wife and Dirga and his family. Hendarto did not want to wait too long because he did not want to until his daughter's womb was getting bigger.

"I accepted his marriage and marriage, Gisela Thania Ayudia bint Hendarto Wijaya Kusuma with the mascawin paid in cash." 

"Well!" 

Shouts of lawful words and thanksgiving echoed in the living room of Hendarto's house. No guests were present there. Two witnesses and two families. Kabul is also held only religiously. 

It was not without reason, Gisela who asked for it. For a few months he wanted to get closer to Dirga first. Trying to get to know each other even further. If it is suitable later, Gisela will be married officially if the child she contains is born. 

After the ijab event, the event continued with a meal together. For tonight Dirga will stay at Gisela's house only tomorrow they will move to the apartment. 

The atmosphere in Gisela's room felt awkward when the newlyweds had just walked into the room. There is no conversation between the two. Gisela speaks a thousand languages, while Dirga observes only Gisela's movements. 

When Gisela had laid her body on the bed, Dirga followed and sat leaning against the headboard. Staring at the sleeping Gisela turned her back. The two people were both silent. 

"Dir." 

"Gis." 

Both Dirga and Gisela called out simultaneously. Then both fell silent again. Dirga waited for Gisela to continue her words, as did Gisela who did the same thing until finally only another silence was created between them. 

"What are you going to say? I'll listen. Lady's first." Dirga silenced the silence there. 

Gisela is seen breathing deeply and exhaling rapidly. "I just wanted to ask, are you going to ask for your rights as a husband, tonight as well?" tanyanya doubt. 

Dirga was silent for a moment until finally laughing hard to make Gisela turn around and look at him in wonder. 

"Why are you laughing" said Gisela. Feeling half annoyed because Dirga had laughed at him. "Is there anything funny?"

"Gwjel ... Gisels. Even though I can't bear to go through the shahdu night with you, but I can't do it now. I don't want anything to happen to you let alone the fetus in your womb" said Dirga very firmly. 

Gisela's lips were tightly clenched and her heart felt touched by the man's words.
