Love Can, But Don't Be Stupid...
Dowry

"Honey, make you come to my house this afternoon? Mama said there was something she wanted to say to you, and it was important," said Arya, Nissa's husband-to-be.

Nissa who had just checked the financial report file that was on her desk looked at Arya who was currently sitting in front of her.

They are both one office, but Nissa's position is much higher than Arya's. Because Nissa is a subsidiary owner of a company engaged in property, while Arya is a supervisor at that company.

"What's the matter, Mama you told me to come? Did I ever come there at the beginning of the introduction first, and again when yesterday you applied to the house why not talk about it all?" nissa asked while looking at Arya.

"Yes, this form is more into privacy, baby, it is not delicious if heard by many people. It's your business, just like my family."

Nissa tapped her finger on the chin as she hesitated about accepting Arya's invitation or not. Somehow, his feeling said that there would be something that the Aryan family asked of him. However, Nissa tried to shake off that feeling because after all Arya was her future husband. Well, maybe there is something important that will be conveyed by his prospective in-laws. Wejangan for children who want to stay in the household for example.

"Dear, this is the weekend end. You came home early today, and so did I. So as we go to my house, we walk together. How's it? Consider it our last date, before we're officially married."

"All right, but I can't take long. You know for yourself how my mother is. If Mama knows I can get scolded, I should be cut off, but because this job I have to handle myself so I can't be absent today."

"All right, I want to."

"Thank you, Honey! If so, I went back to my room first yes," Arya gently rubbed the top of Nissa's head and the beautiful woman just commented a smile to him.

Nissa exhaled, somehow the feeling became unpleasant. If Helma says her best friend, she is nervous because her marriage will be held soon. And it was natural for a newlywed like her.

Unwilling to be dissolved in endless thoughts, Nissa decided to refocus on her work which was delayed due to Arya's presence.

...#####...

"Come, so right?" arya asked after Nissa turned off her laptop.

"Yes, wait a minute. I'll clean this up first."

Nissa immediately cleaned her desk and put all the important equipment such as a laptop and a special mobile phone work to the briefcase. While the phone is for private, he put it in the other bag.

After everything was considered neat, Nissa and Arya walked side by side to the elevator because Nissa's room was on the 5th floor. The employees and the women who passed by them lowered their heads in a sign of respect. Nissa replied with a smile. Nissa did not distinguish the elevator for employees and for him.

After being in the office lobby, the two of them walked towards the parking lot where Nissa's car was. Yes, all this time they did use Nissa's car because Arya did not have it.

...#####...

"Assalamualaikum" said Nissa as her foot was on Arya's doorstep. A simple house that only has 1 floor, 3 bedrooms, kitchen, living room and dining room.

However, Nissa did not look at all that because during the relationship with Arya, her family was always good.

"Waalaikumsalam, oh my goodness! My man candidate is coming. Here son, sit here first. Duh, it's nice to go to the prospective favorite ghost." Mama from Arya sat next to Nissa. In fact, he also massaged Nissa's shoulder without being asked.

"Oh, yes! It's cake for Mama. I hope you like it, yes,"

Mama Amel received it with a sumringah. Nissa was happy to make the future-in-law smile.

"Well, thank you. You are very attentive. Until you only come for friends, you even bother buying cakes."

"Ah, nothing to bother with, Ma. Just cake."

"Please drink Nissa." Suddenly Arya's sister-in-law named Vina thrust three cups of warm tea on the table.

"Thank you Ma'am, sorry to bother."

"Ah, no trouble. It was his job to deliver that. And you are the best, not like he whose work is always a burden." replied Mama Amel.

Nissa looked at the face of Mbak Vina who was staring softly. Nissa herself felt bad because of Mama Amel's sudden remarks like vilifying Mbak Vina in front of her. Mama Amel shouldn't be like that.

"Oh yes, said Arya Mama invited me here because there is something to talk about. If you can tell, what is it?" ask Nissa directly. Honestly, Nissa felt bad to be there because of Mama Amel's talk to Mbak Vina.

"Ehm, that's.so you guys want to get married, well Arya's the youngest Mama's child. Both of her sisters were married. And the two couples his brother was also giving Mama a change of money while caring for the children Mama. Like Akbar, he gave me something I asked for. If Vina mah is not asked! Because usually from the beginning just bother. Yes, it's like you met your children after success, so you can ask if Mama asked for something a little valuable to reimburse Mama during caring for your children. Likewise with Arya, Arya has also been caring for Mama with affection until she was big and successful as now. And look, he's handsome too, right?"

"Then you mean Mama? Sorry, I don't understand the problem. Can you go to the point, Ma?"

"Eemmm, so I mean Mama. Mama wants you to buy Arya a car. More precisely for Mama to wear. Think of it as a reward for Mama who has been caring for Arya all this time. Surely not difficult dong yes for you who are a company owner to buy a car Mama in return for the services of Mama who has taken care of Arya?"

(Originally I got dizzy making his muter-muter sentence🤭🤭🤭)

At once Nissa also gawked with the words of the in-laws that did not make sense and the length of the ustadz again tausiyah.

"If for example I object, what about Ma?"

At once also the look on the face of Mama Amel who had changed looking intently at Nissa. Not only Mama Amel, Arya also stared intently at Nissa.

"Yes, if you mind being forced to cancel this marriage..."

Nissa looked back in disbelief at the woman who soon changed status to her in-laws. How could he say that? Does not caring for and financing all the needs of children become the obligation of their parents? If you do not want to be charged all**** workshop about children, yes do not need to have children. After all, children never ask to be born, but it is the parents who want the presence of children in their lives.

"How's Nissa? You don't mind, do you? Come on, it's just the car. It will not be difficult for you and your rich family. At most, how much a car costs."

Nissa took a breath and let go. He had to decide right then and there. He did not want to linger to make a decision because he already knew the answer to Mama Amel's question.

"Sorry Ma, Nissa can't fulfill Mama's wish which Nissa thinks is absurd. It should be Arya who gave me something I wanted as a dowry. Not the other way around. If Mama and Arya want to cancel this wedding Nissa accepts. Please come to Nissa's house to pick up the things you brought to Kemaren.
