IMPLANTED APPLICATION [EXTREME PROPOSE]
[10] Do You Want to Get Married?

At half-nine in the morning, Nina was already standing straight in front of Bu Lilis' house. Last night he did not sleep thinking about the lightning decision he took. Crazy indeed, but this is not only a matter of residence that he cannot afford to pay while still completing the thesis, but also about Abah.

Suddenly he remembered that Abah, who was ill, had to pay for all his own sons and daughters. If he finally gets married, and intends it as a worship, that means one of his worship is to make the parents happy too, right?

At least Nina had thought about this decision overnight. Although crazy, because it involves a meeting that only lasted once, but Nina did not try to complicate it too much. Now or later, he still wants to get married.

Only one prayer, if the man is his soul mate, all these things will be smooth. Conversely, if it does not run smoothly, it means that the decision that he thinks is good is not really final. Nina must try other ways to keep herself alive, and help reduce Abah's burden.

After all, they can meet first, right?

Knocking on the door, Nina waited for a reply. Greetings were answered, and the door was opened showing the face of Bu Lilis there.

“Eh Nina ... Come in yuk, Naira hasn't woken up yet. Still sleeping, like a slobber. His father was busy playing with him because he wanted to return to service.” Bu Lilis light while moving together inside.

The two sat on the floor after Bu Lilis asked Nina to help her prepare lunch.

“Healthy, Nin? How does it seem that someone thinks so? Just story atuh.” Bu Lilis asked her asking.

Nina cursed herself who could not cover her worries, so it was clearly seen by Ms. Lilis.

“Sorry once before ma'am ... Look, Nina knows it's not good, doesn't she want to run away or how, while the weekly salary has gone down, but Nina wants a leave of absence for a while, can you? Nina has a need to be resolved. The plan is to take half day off until the next three days. Nina has to go home.” Said carefully.

Raut Bu Lilis looked confused. Then it soon turned quiet with a smile.

“Oh. It's okay, Nin. Also, the new mother wants to call you actually so that you do not have to come first today. There was a husband Fadilah just returned home from work, but the day after tomorrow had to come back again. So he wants to take Naira away. You also have permission, all of you. Oh yes, briefly.”

I don't know what made the middle-aged woman enter her room, Nina did not feel good if until Bu Lilis wanted to exonerate her.

He's only been working one week in this house.

“Nih Neng, there's a little from mom. Hopefully it can help increase the cost of you returning to the village. No need to hesitate,” his hand clenched an envelope a little thick.

Nina was not happy to accept it.

“Mother ... don't bother, Mom. Nina just wants a leave permit.  Duh, it's not good that this happens. Noah, Mom. Thank you ...” Thank Nina, even though she felt bad about all the kindness of Bu Lilis during her working one week more with her.

“Sama-sama, Nin .. You are very good to help mom, her work is diligent, anything can, mother is amazed by you. What time do you want to walk today? Up what?” Bu Lilis asked, glancing towards her backpack.

“Nina take the bus fast, now it is nine .. the plan before dzuhur already to the terminal.”

Miss Lilis smiled with relief.

“Alhamdulillah is still hunted, Nin ... is everything ready? Want to leave now or after lunch?” Tawar Bu Lilis's.

Nina smiled awkwardly. He has packed all the items he needs, so do not worry if he departs after dzuhur later. After all, Nina did not feel good about having to leave right now, at least she still had a few hours before her bus departure.

“Yes already, then help mom prepare lunch huh? Since Fadhilah and her husband are going out, later all Nina acquaintances yes .. we have lunch together.”

“Good, Bu.”

While preparing lunch, Nina typed a message to Bu Elsa—Mama— to inform her that they could come to her village the day after tomorrow.

Destiny, no one knows. I hope the path he chose is not wrong.

The orange sky greeted Nina when she arrived at her destination after the bus she was riding stopped at a nearby terminal. Upon arrival there, Nina rushed to order a base object that was usually around there. His feelings were mixed on this trip home.

Whether it's happy, longing, and also worried. Nina is inexhaustible over all the unilateral decisions she has made, but she is sure, whatever unilateral decisions, as long as it is good, Abah should not matter. Abah always believed in him, and he kept that trust. The way Abah matured her with that belief made Nina more independent. Abah was always watching him, but did not make it difficult to move with restraints and restrictions. So far he feels straight in life, meaning more attitude and behavior. He was grateful for not making parents worry in case he did something strange during a period of almost four years.

“Nah .. yes, yes, kang, in front yes.” Nina's orders to the driver of the motorcycle she was riding. The woman pointed to a simple house that stood firm even though it looked worn by age.

After paying, the woman walked slowly to the yard of her house which is still grounded and only limited to a wooden fence that she remembers made Abah with Saiful two years ago. Taking a slow breath, Nina walked in. It was late at night, it was natural that this region was deserted and most people had already entered the house.

“Assalamualaikum ..” Said Nina greeting while knocking on the door. Some time there was no answer, he repeated it again, until finally the door opened and showed Solehah, his sister.

“Teh Nina?!” Calling on loudly. Her sister attacked her with a hug until Nina almost fell backward. If only he did not immediately hold his body to stay upright, they might fall together silly in front of the house. The urge of a hug that Solehah gave him actually made his chest crowded.

As he remembered, he last came home one year ago. Due to time constraints due to tasks that accumulate and reduce expenses, he did not go home except for holidays.

“Jawab greetings first, Sol.”

“Eh .. Yes Tea. Waalaikumsal. How come you don't come home with news?”

Nina rubbed her sister's head, “Nothing, Teteh want your surprise. Which mother is Abah?”

“Change again in Mang Ujang from after ashar, until now has not returned home. Mom was driving. Why did Teteh suddenly return home?”

Nina carried her body sitting down on the old sofa of her house. The four hour journey left him exhausted.

“There is an important affair that should be discussed with Mother and Abah.” His words paused, looking at Solehah with a small smile.

“A’ Ipul is at his friend's house, he said he wanted to study for the official entrance exam, Sol did not ask clearly. Teteh must be thirsty, Sol get water first huh?” Not yet able to answer, his sister was gone from her radar to the kitchen.

The house that he always longed for, still stands strong even though it has been a witness to the growth of him and all his siblings. All were born and raised in this warm home.

Slashing while breathing tired, know the front door of the house not far from his position, open. The voice of greeting belongs to both parents simultaneously.

“Assalamualaikum ..” The steps of his parents were heard when Nina positioned her body to stand, ready to welcome the two.

The mother who walked in front of Abah looked at him in shock. How shocked his parents were to see their eldest daughter already standing in front.

“Tea? Why not go home and say it?” Ask Mom in a surprised tone. Nina did not wait for the time, the woman immediately rushed into Mother's embrace with a small cry that knew-how broke.

“Teteh ..” Abah entered the house after Mother, with the help of crutches and gnashed legs.

“Assalamualaikum, Mak, Abah.” He said while kissing the back of his hands with reverence.

After that, take turns to his loving Abah's jaw. Hugged tightly.

“Why not tell me you want to go home?” Repeat Mom.

Nina laughs.

“Involuntarily, let's surprise, Mak.” He said while chuckling.

Mom invited Nina to sit back. Shortly after, Salad returned from the kitchen.

“Eh ... The same mother Abah has come home as well? Sol get water too, huh?” Tawar Sol wanted to rush back, before Mom finally held him back.

“No need, Neng. Here yuk, sit together. Said you miss the same Teteh.” Said Mom pointing at Nina with her chin.

Solehah put on a mocking face.

“Who misses Teteh? Mom just made it up, ih!” Kelakar.

“Alah ... don't dodge you, Deck. If kangen confess!” Nina's reply made Solehah laugh.

Abah glanced at Nina with a question mark.

“Healthy, Tea? Suddenly come home like this, why not tell me first so that later Ipul pick up to the terminal.” Ask Abah.

Nina shakes.

“Nothing, Bah. Teteh said to surprise. After all, Ipul said Solehah was preparing for the entrance exam campus official right? Poor thing, let him learn.” Sergeants.

The family conversation lasted for a while. Talking about many things about Nina, Abah's accident, to the centile of Solehah who was busy talking about organizational activities at her school. Abah had mentioned about the tuition fees that almost two months is not as big as usual, making Nina want to not lie to let her parents not worry. In fact, he worked in Jakarta plus, the matter of him having to leave his boarding house now—which if Abah knew, he would be shocked and angry.

“... But there is one more most important Mak, Abah.” Nina pauses. Make both his parents and Solehah wait.

“This must have surprised Mom and Abah .. but—insyaAllah, tomorrow there will be someone coming.”

Abah raised his eyebrows.

“Someone? Who's Neng?” Ask Abah slowly.

Nina weighed her words. Did he have to say someone was going to propose to him or did he have to say someone was coming to meet and get acquainted?

But what if it turns out they didn't come—no, no way. Miss Elsa has assured him that they will come tomorrow.

“There will be someone who comes—ah, maybe more than one person ..” Nina again hangs he said.

“Tea! Whim! Why do I have to be so responsible?” The protest of Solehah made Mum warn him.

Nina glanced at Solehah with a slanted smile. Taking a breath, the woman then said what she really wanted to say.

“Besok will have someone come to get acquainted .. as well as intend to apply for Teteh.”

“What? Apply?” My mother was shocked. Not only Mother, Abah who had just put on a relaxed face also glanced at him firmly. Giving an expression asked Nina.

“Iya .. applying. Someone wants to propose Nina to be a daughter-in-law and .. a wife.”

“Ya Forgiveness! Want to get married?”

“Y—ya ... you could probably say so.”

The shocked expression was still uncontrollable. Mom and Abah then searched for him with some questions about the arrival of someone, who he was, how they knew.

Duh! Reason ... He forgot to think about the reason.

What does Nina have to explain to them?
