“Why should Maira?” abi Mike asked directly staring intently at the two men and one woman who were right in front of him.
The softness and patience that had been his character during the pesantren. Now it seems to disappear and return in cold and scary mode as before knowing Arshyla.
How not, if tonight he and Chila get a guest in the form of an old friend of the wife who has not visited for a long time. And now, they visit the cottage just to propose to his daughter.
Good intentions, not to be rejected, that is true. But, Mike and Chila know, that Arga's son Kenzo and Naura will soon have her wedding. In fact, both of them had already received a wedding invitation from them a few days ago.
And when the event is in sight, just wait for the day. Suddenly they came to his house with the aim of proposing to his second daughter.
Which means her daughter will be made a substitute bride. A surrogate who will replace the bride.
“Ana from your business partner, I think not a little and they—“
“But Arga and Maira have known since childhood. They are friends even though we know each other. Arga goes here, and Maira who also often comes home, we are like family, right? And we—“
“If it is like family, why would you let my daughter be a surrogate?” cut Mike's abi quickly, making the two instantly speechless.
“Don't make excuses that you guys have been friends with my wife too since High School. What about Clayton? There are also children of their age, right? Why not their child?” abi Mike said cynically.
“Astagfirullahalazim, Abi ... “ now Maira voice when she first saw the other side of her abi.
“Mai, I beg you!” pinta Arga again and now he looks at his best friend with full of requests.
“Chila ... “ Not only Kenzo who continues to persuade Mike, Arga to Maira. Naura to Chila was also the same, they really begged the Maira family to help her.
“Ken, Naura. Sorry, I—“
“Abi .. “ Maira directly looked at her abi, took a deep breath and then looked back at the middle-aged face of the father, “Please pray the blessing of Abi.”
“Maira!” yelling umma Chila and abi Mike together, of course, makes Maira directly lower her head.
“What Kenzo says. Maira and Arga have known since childhood, we are friends, and we are close. Didn't Abi ever say, dating after marriage will be much more beautiful. Similarly, if later Maira married Gus Hilal, wouldn't we start from the beginning of the introduction? Let's just say, Arga is like that too.”
For a moment, Maira stopped her speech, she sighed again, “Maira will not mind the events that have passed. God willing, Maira can make Arga forget his past,” he added so gently.
There was no longer the figure of Maira who was so bar as usual. Now, the girl looks so gentle and graceful and so wise in giving answers She is so mature at the right time.
“maira, you know marriage is sacred. You must not regret the decision you have taken now!” press umma Chila staring at her daughter.
“That's what Maira told Arga earlier Umma. Maira had rejected her well well, but it turns out she was still undaunted even now brought Aunt Naura and om Kenzo. That makes Maira think, that in addition to saving the good name om Kenzo. Maybe this is also God's way to unite us,” explained Maira at length and now while bowing her head.
