The trip to Yumna's house felt so fast. I wanted Andi to invite her parents back home. He wants to give up. What a feeling, it was eager to throw the man to his two parents. But he said, because they had reached the yard of Yumna's house.
Andi and her two parents were still in the car. None of them opened the door. Tomi and Tati allow the son to please her, who may now be agitated. It is clear from the look of the man's face and do not forget the sweat that appears on his forehead the sign that the man also feels nervous and afraid.
"It's quieter An?" ask Tomi to her son.
Andi nodded. "Already Pa," he answered by taking a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.
"Let's get out. Keep the spirit, no desire to go home. Even if you are rejected still fight and if finally he does not want to, do not force. Be sure of God if there is any happy news that will await you later" Tomi advised her son.
Back the man nodded. Right, what the father said. Even if that happens, there is still God for where he complains. The place where he groans, the place asks for everything he has not accomplished. God is the best place of all things.
Finally the three men got out of the car. With his awakening Tati stepped in following the two men who were deeply loved.
Geck...
Geck...
Geck...
"Assalamualaikum," Tomi, Andi and Tati said hello. Andi first knocked on the door of the house. Coincidentally at Yumna's house there is no bell that can be pulled.
Long wait, the door of the house finally opened. Featuring the figure of a handsome young man who looked slightly dumbfounded about the presence of the three people.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, let's go to Om," Ali asked. The young man stared awkwardly at Tomi and also Tati. I don't know what he's going to say to those two people.
The three men nodded. Follow Ali to get into the house. Ali allowed the man to sit in the living room. While the young man went to the mother's room to call his favorite woman.
"Mother," called Ali out the door. "may I come in?" continued Ali.
Ali opened the door of Yumna's room, after hearing the answer from inside the room. Stepping closer to the mother who was applying makeup, because the woman had finished bathing.
"What's the matter, honey?" yumna asked when she had finished wearing her hijab.
"That's outside Om Andi is like a husband and wife," said Ali who made Yumna frown.
Yumna wondered why Andi had come to her house without telling herself first. Though usually if the man wants to come to his house will definitely tell him. It didn't even come like this time. Especially now that he did not come as himself as his son said. Making Yumna guess is unclear. There's a reason why Andi came home.
The two children and the mother came out of Yumna's room. Yumna headed for the kitchen while the son headed to the living room to join Andi and his two parents.
Yumna brought three glasses of mango juice and a box of snacks on the tray, as usual he served to his guests. If the weather is cold then Yumna will make sweet tea and if it is hot then Yumna will make mango juice. As he currently made for the three.
"Please drink Ma'am, sir, Ndi," said Yumna inviting them to taste what he had brought.
The three of them immediately tasted what Yumna had served them. Tati saw the face of the woman who would later become his son's wife. Soft-hearted woman, that is what Tati can see from the nature of Yumna. Although not yet know how the nature of Yumna, but Tati can read it from the look of the face, even the way he serves them very gently. Nothing is made up. It even looks natural.
Long silent, finally the head of the family from the Tati household, took a breath before catapulting out what their initial intention was to come to Yumna's house.
"Ehemm," Tomi cleared her throat pretty hard. Making everything there glance in his direction without exception.
"Pardon me in advance for Nak Yumna and-" Tomi is confused because she doesn't know the name of Yumna's son. Her son once mentioned her name only Tomi forgot. Maybe because his old age is no longer young, then he will easily forget if he does not often mention his name.
"Ali," Ali mentioned his name as the old man fell silent as he stared at him.
"Ah yes, Son Ali. You forgot, even though Andi had talked before. Understand, you're no longer young, hehe." Tomi said with a hint of laughter at the end of her sentence. Then Tomi took her breath back to speak next. "We came here to ask Nak Yumna to be his wife's son, we are none other than Andi. Does Nak Yumna want to receive a proposal from us for our only child," Tomi said firmly. But it felt a bit strange if he mentioned Father when he said to Ali. Even he was more suitable to be called grandfather by the boy. But let it be, if his son becomes married to Yumna, then the young man will definitely call himself Grandpa.
Degs...
Yumna and Ali were shocked by Tomi's words. This is really shocking news for both of them. What else is this really impressed suddenly. If only Andi had told him before, then they wouldn't have been this shocked. But what can be done, as well as rice that has become porridge. It will never return to how it was.
Yumna looked at the son. Would his son agree if he married Andi. Although his son once said if he agreed the mother to accept someone's proposal for him. However, Yumna also did not want to decide for herself without the son.
Andi seemed to hold his breath waiting for Yumna to answer. Hoping the answer is not a disappointment that will set itself back in the painful past. The past where the wife left her was faster.
Ali nodded his head. He agrees that Yumna receives a proposal from Andi's parents. Ali obviously liked Andi. He was a very good man, because as long as he knew Andi, never once did the man do something that Ali did not like. They even seem to be very suitable when talking. Fun, that's one of the words that Ali can embed for Andi.
Yumna looked at the three people in turn, after getting an answer from her son. Breathe slowly, then return slowly.
Yumna. "Yes I accept," Yumna replied making the three men breathe a sigh of relief. It was very nice, especially for Andi. He was so happy, finally what he had feared since had not happened. Even this news was news that he had been dreaming of so far.
They decide when the wedding will take place. But their final choice was on Yumna's hands. That is one more month, so have to wait another month they will have a simple wedding. That was also a request from Yumna. Because Yumna did not want to marry fancy, simple enough the most important happy.
