"So what, Nak Yumna? Do you want to accept Abyan to be your husband?" mr. Latif asked to confirm Yumna's decision after the woman spoke to Abyan.
Yumna refuses, but Abyan's face is similar to the person who is threatening her at this time. Especially when Abyan put one finger on his own neck with a position like a person who is slitting the neck-like in a thriller that Yumna had seen.
It wasn't just Abyan who acted. Abah even threatened Yumna. The old man whispered to his third child.
"If you don't accept Abyan, Abah make sure after this you'll regret it!"
Yumna's eyes stared in horror at Abah Ayub's face.
Why did his brother become like this? Did the middle-aged man not even think about his feelings?
"Already, Son. Accept it," added Umi.
Yumna seemed to be pressed by the circumstances. But before he really gave an answer, Yumna first asked.
"Sorry Pak-Bu. Is Abyan still in school?"
The heads of both Abyan's parents nodded. Then Mr. Latif answered. "Yes, Son. He is currently a student at one of the boarding schools in our city. But Nak Yumna just calm down. Even so, in shea Allah Abyan is ready to be the husband of Nak Yumna."
Huh! Yumna let out a long, albeit slow breath. For fear that someone will be offended by his actions.
What answer should Yumna give at this time?
It's really dead-end.
"So what, Nak Yumna? I was hoping you'd receive Mom's son, huh?" pinta Ibu Nurma chimed in on her husband's remarks. It added a burden to Yumna's heart.
Honestly, Yumna did not want to marry Abyan. The young man was very restless and stingy in his opinion.
It seems to be mediocre too. Yes, although it looks very charismatic and authoritative.
But right, still he's still a santri, mahasantri or whatever! Obviously the young man is still in school.
"Sorry Pak-Bu. Can I ask for three days for istikharah? I have to establish my heart first." Yumna made her wish. Although Abah and Umi have been waiting for answers from their children.
Abyan's parents glanced at her son who had been looking down since. Without stealing the opportunity to look at Yumna who despite being old but damagenya like a teenage girl.
"What do you think, Abyan? Want to give it a moment?"
Nod Abyan's head as she gave a gentle and polite smile to her parents.
"Well Pip, Mim, Abyan will love time."
In the end they agreed to wait for the decision of Yumna three more days. However, whatever the answer from Yumna later, Abah and Umi have agreed to accept Abyan as their son-in-law.
**
Three days later, Yumna finally gave her decision.
As long as he does istikharah, only the name Abyan is always in his mind and heart.
Yumna felt like she had been used by the young man.
And the truth is, Abyan bewitched Yumna with his prayers in the last third of the night as the man was fast asleep.
"So how, Na? You've decided to accept Abyan, haven't you?" ask Abah when they are having breakfast. This time along with them Yumna's second brother named Zaid - a police officer who works in the city of Bandung. He came home when he heard his brother being proposed to by a man.
"How does Abah think? Does that kid deserve Yumna?"
"This is God's worthy, Na. Ask me, aren't you, Zaid?"
"He'em." Zaid nodded his head without speaking more. He already knew all the information about Abyan who had been presumptuous to propose to his sister who was far enough age with him. So Zaid agreed with Abah and Uminya's decision.
Yumna took a long breath. Gazing doubtfully towards the food before him at this moment.
It seems that Abyan was indeed the answer to his prayers all along. It was not Jonah who only wanted his virginity. Except for a young Abyan-man who dares to justify himself.
"All right, Abah-Umi, Mas Zaid. Yumna accepted the proposal from the boy."
"Thank God!!" fun all family with compact.
Then without waiting for long, Abah immediately contacted Abyan's family to provide answers to his son's decision.
**
On the other side of the place, Abyan pranced with excitement after the prostration of gratitude when he got a call from his parents who told him the answer from Yumna.
"God, I am so glad!" he exclaimed, making a man in one room of his dormitory mendelik upset.
"Udah ah don't have to be happy. Ordinary aja. Just be careful if you regret it because I married Teteh later. He is not as good as you think" said a man whose face is quite similar to Yumna.
"Ah you, Han. Though you yourself who want to mate me with your brother from the past. But even you said it was like that."
"Yes, indeed. That's because I want you to be able to change my Tetah for the better."
"In the Lord. Please pray, okay?"
"Hem."
The two best friends of one dorm room since High School were finally doing other things after talking about many things about Yumna.
**
Time passes quickly. Three days after Yumna's decision came out to accept Abyan's application. Now Abyan and his family come to hold a marriage contract with the local community and the nuclear family of the prospective groom.
The wedding was done very simply. Inviting orphans and the poor. There is no fancy party. Even Yumna's friend was also the only one who came. His close friend of course. While his office friends no woman invited other than his boss who also until now has not read a message from him.
"You're sure of your choice, Na?" ask Ratih to reconfirm his best friend's decision by marrying a child who is different age with him.
At the moment Yumna is being made up by the best MUA in the city. In accordance with Yumna's request to her parents.
"I'm sure God, I'm sure."
"But you've really broken up with that crazy guy?"
"Yes. It's." Already."
"Goodoo. He hasn't been in the office for the last few days. Apparently being stressed from breaking up with you."
"Ah come on, don't talk to her again. Soon I will be the wife of a child. So doain I was able to face his behavior. Because he really sucks!!"
Hearing him Ratih chuckled while enduring the pain in his stomach.
"Review carefully. He can't make you walk out of town tomorrow."
Yumna's eyes squinted at her best friend. Feeling very upset because Ratih said something that did not make sense.
How could Yumna give herself up to Abyan? The man is still a child who certainly does not know anything according to him.
"That's it. At most he will faint on the first night. In short, he is still a child. In the love of candy it must be directly obedient," said Yumna smiling mockingly.
"Hehehe we'll see, I'm sure the boy won't be what you think."
