Kak Mea's Proposal Day

After Luna came home, I was still thinking about her story. Why do so many men have sex with women? Though if you think in this world more Women than Men, they are free to choose any woman they want to make a wife but that does not mean free to also throw away what they do not want. Women are highly venerated in Islam, not trash.

"Sir, is Luna home yet?" mother asked, I was a little surprised because I was daydreaming.

"Already, Mom. Just now." I replied.

"Let's sit in front of the TV, Brother Mea wants to say something." Mother asked.

"Oh yeah? What's that about, Mom?"

"Eat him the hunt here, so we both know."

"Well, Mom." I said. Then I got out of my bed and headed to the living room with Mom.

"What would Brother Mea say?" I'm just impatient.

"Mom, Dik, In shaa Allah next week Bang Rafli and his parents will come to visit our house. Want to propose." replied Mea to the point.

"Ma shay Allah. Seriously, Son?" ask Mom surprised.

"Yes, ma'am." answered Mea Briefly with a smile and a very happy face.

"Aren't you sure you want to marry Bang Rafli?" I asked with a serious face. Why I'm not sure that Bang Rafli is a good man. I'm not sure Mea will be happy living with her. Well, maybe it's just my feelings because the story of Mom and Luna is still embedded in my mind.

"This is God's sure, brother. My sister knows a lot about him. In the Lord, he is the right man for Brother." replied Brother Mea.

"If you are sure, there are no feelings that block, I'm blessed you are married to him. In shaa Allah Ridho's Mother Lillahi Ta'ala". Say mother.

"Yes, Brother. If Big Brother is really sure about the choice of Big Brother, Little Brother will do the best for Brother. May you be happy in the afterlife with Bang Rafli. I hope he's the right match for Brother". My timpal.

"Alhamdulillah, thank you very much Ma'am, thanks Dik Aura" said Kak Mea and he embraced me and Mother simultaneously.

I can only pray for Brother Mea, hopefully not wrong in choosing a life partner. Hopefully after marriage later, Sister Mea can live happily with her husband, unlike Mother who used to suffer.

***

One week has passed, this night will be a historic night in the life of Kak Mea, a step towards becoming lost in her love affair.

Mother and sister Mea cook a lot to welcome the family of her future husband Kak Mea. While I'm not good at cooking this can only help Do'a while maintaining the stall and serving the buyers.

"Dik, baghda Maghrib will just close the stall. Tonight we're gonna have a special guest." Pinta Mama to me who is sitting pretty in front of the cashier table while playing my salary.

"Okay, ma'am." I said with a smile. "Where's Mea, Mom?" my connection.

"Prepare to take a shower." replied Mom briefly.

"It's a dance, ma'am. Hehee."

"Looks. Let it look neat and beautiful." said Mother. I'm just smiling.

Exactly at 20:30WIB the Bang Rafli family arrived. He came with his parents and some people we didn't know.

As soon as they got out of the car, Mother and Sister Mea greeted them all and immediately let them in. I didn't do anything, just sat sweetly inside as Mother had instructed.

After they all entered and had already taken their respective sitting positions, Sister Mea went to the kitchen to pick up some warm glasses and tea. Then Brother Mea poured tea on the glasses one by one and invited the family Bang Rafli to drink.

"So, Mom. The purpose of our arrival here wants to propose to Mother's Princess named Mea. Do you agree or do you mind?" ask Papa Bang Rafli to Mom.

"In the Lord I agree and do not mind, if Mea agrees and already feels compatible with Nak Rafli." replied the mother firmly.

"Son Mea how? Do you agree with this proposal and want to be Rafli's wife?" ask Papa Bang Rafli to Kak Mea.

"This is Allah I want, sir." replied Brother Mea.

"Alhamdulillah." said Papa Bang Rafli and his family simultaneously.

Ogh, so the proposal was like this huh? Ask here and there. My inner.

"For delivery, we have provided a wardrobe and also a new bed in our house. Because later after marriage Mea will live in our house. For such a large item it is impossible for us to bring it here, so we only bring the receipt as evidence" Papa Bang Rafli explained.

"Well, sir." said Mother, nodding her head.

"And for the dowry later, we'll buy a 10-grm dowry. Is that enough, Mom?" ask Papa Bang Rafli again.

"How, Son?" I asked that question to Mea.

"God is more than enough, Mom, sir." Answer Mea softly.

"Alhamdulillah then. For the money for the wedding banquet we will immediately leave it to Mother after this meeting" said Papa Bang Rafli.

"Good, Sir. Thank you very much for this good thing, hopefully Mea and Rafli will last until Jannah" said Mother.

"Aamiin Allahumma Aamiin." Say us all at the same time.

Luckily Bang Rafli, could get a kind-hearted Kak Mea and did not ask much for this it was from him. "Tell him later if I get hurt, I talk to him" I said in my heart.

After you've finished talking about proposals, deliveries, dowry and scorched money, it's dinner time. Finally, after holding back hunger.

I accidentally caught the eyes of Kak Mea and Bang Rafli often looked at, arguing so sweetnya bride. Jealouuuussss O God, my heart thrashed, is this called baper? Desire like that, O God, but fear. Hurrrmmmm, all wrong Aura.

After the meal was over, Bang Rafli and his family said goodbye to go home.

"Sister, how does Brother feel?" ask me on Sister Mea while poking her arm.

"Company Sister nano-nano, Dik. It's hard to say." she replied and smiled happily.

"That's it?"

"Yes, later when it's time for Sister to apply, Sister will also know how it feels, Sister."

"Ah, don't know when that happened, brother. Hahahahaha." I said with a big laugh.

"God will surely come that day if Allah says you are ready."

"Aamiin." I said briefly.

Then we both helped Mom clean up the dirty dishes and tidy up the leftovers.
