My Life Diary
12. Covering sadness

The rain was still pouring on our way home, at 10 pm we arrived home.

He honked his motor horn from the outside right in front of the entrance, from inside the mother opened the door, saw me coming down from the motorbike and opened the raincoat, she just cried and hugged me very tightly.

" O Allah Muly...Why are you coming home at night, son?, which husband is your husband?Can't he go home?". The same question I have to answer.

" Yes buk, we go in first yes" while I take off my mother's embrace and bring her inside.

"Sister.

"Sister kangen you all" as I hugged and kissed one by one.

"So, wait a minute, Sarah, take warm ginger tea for your sister, let your sister's body warm and do not catch a cold" explained Sarah as she poured tea into the glass.

" This is his tea brother"!.

After I drank the warm ginger tea and replaced the rain-soaked clothes, my father and mother and sister all sat in the living room.

"Sir, Mom forgive muly yes, all this time Muly did not have time to look at mother, saolnya bang man there is no holiday, always busy in the garden, always busy in the garden, now this is another harvest in the garden so bang man can not go home" I explained to my father and mother with a little defense for my husband.

" Your husband is outrageous, letting you go home alone" mother's reply was so upset by the look on her face.

" buh... Muly has some good news".

"What is that brother"? ask Sarah to wonder.

"Muly is now again three months pregnant Ma'am,"

haah .. they miss everything.

"Alhamdulillah, finally you become a grandfather too" replied the father with a happy tone. " Sister tonight we sleep with Sarah yes, there are many things that Sarah wants to tell sister!"

" Yes, I can ! but Idah and Fatma's deck also go to bed with ya!" my firmness. " We want to bangeet sis.kita sleep together again like before yes "answer them with great excitement.

" Sir, it looks like our house has changed, yes, Muly saw the addition of a room in the kitchen" as I got up and opened the kitchen room door.

" father has a little sustenance to add a room, soon your brother Sarah wants to marry, yes this room can make Sarah, father and mother can move rooms in the kitchen" explained the father.

That night I slept with my sister in her renovated old room.

" Well, how nice is Sarah's room, is this you're the one who's stuck?" ask me while holding the pink wall wallpaper with floral motifs.

" yeah, who else if not Sarah" .

" It's nice brother Sarah said that cake, this is if there is no sister we can not install it yourself, huh ngak Fatma?" idah clearly

" Okay, sister is just kidding, it's thanks to your help too if you think it might be as neat as khan!" clearly Sarah while laughing little.

" Sarah..! tell me a little story about Sarah's future husband, where are you acquaintances?" pinta.

" yes, sister, Sarah's candidate is called Jamal Hadi, I call mas Hadi, first met when Sarah nemanin mother to housing, it turns out mas Hadi lived in her om house, her mother, and her, originally South Acehnese, his rich man, his shop there are three now mas Hadi who took care of the store, because his om again sick stroke" explained Sarah.

" You're lucky Sarah, you got a rich man's husband".

I opened her new HP Sarah and saw a photo of her future husband, it turns out that her future husband Sarah is very handsome and looks like a rich person clearly visible from her appearance.

" Brother prayer may you be happy to get a good-looking, rich, understanding soul mate, if you see a very compatible partner.

"Who..! this sister can" Sarah replied shyly.

"One more sis, SMS number yesterday was Sarah's phone number huh, brother remember Khan? don't forget to keep it.

...----------------...

The next day we saw the house of our brother coming from the father and some close neighbors.I dressed Sarah in a white dress bought by her future husband. Sarah looks so beautiful and graceful in those clothes.

" Wide candidate where, we from the grooms side want to see the bride" heard the request from outside, it turns out Hadi's family has arrived.

"Sar ..Sarah" mother's voice called Sarah." out Hadi's family wants to see Sarah".

"Let's Sarah come out, this must be Hadi's mother wants to put an engagement ring on your ring finger" I said as I led Sarah out of the room.

"Don't be nervous, smile a little" I whispered in Sarah's ear.

Seeing me out with Sarah, my aunt took my hand and asked her to sit next to her, whispering in my ear, my aunt asked my husband why he couldn't go home, any busy work for the family must be at number one right, again - again I defend my husband to maintain the honor of our household.

" Muly...Your mother said you were pregnant again huh? why would your husband let you go home alone is he not afraid of anything happening to your womb?" ask aunt

"gtsrt..." Don't be loud bi! more guests.

" It's Muly's wish to go home alone bi, bang man again harvest in the garden, there is a bang man nawarin want to nganterin up here, there is, only Muly did not want to bang man tired of having to go back and forth again".I explained to my aunt by lying for the good of my household.

" Bibik don't have to worry, Muly is happy to live with bang man, Muly is like a queen at home bi, can't work this let alone being pregnant all bang man working". obviously I with a smile appeared happy.

" Thank God if you're happy, auntie thinks your husband let you suffer, if anything happens to you don't mind the same story auntie ya".

" Yes bi, it must be because my aunt slalu received Muly's heart.

Bibik is the sister of my father who from childhood I often spill all my heart to him he always faithfully heard that advising me when I was wrong to my parents, understand the nature of jealousy towards my sisters.

" When do we have the wedding day and the reception ?" question from the priest of the Hadi family.

"This is the priest, Mr. Asmid, there is a sister's daughter than Sarah who has been married and is now 3 months pregnant, if the reception of Sarah and Jamal Hadi is held in the seven months of his brother Sarah, how about the priest.

They deliberated for a while and saw Hadi's father and mother nodding.

" Yes, we agree"!. replied Hadi's family.

The decision has been made by both parties of the bride and groom, it turns out the father still cares about me. Sarah's adek reception along with my seven-months, this is a time that soon only waits for four more months.

I'm worried about this decision will my husband want to? how do I explain it, yesterday when the wedding brother bang man was not invited only his sister who came, is this not excessive?.

I think I'll have to ask my father for help talking to my husband.

after all the guests came home we cleaned up the house and shared - share the application cake (good cake) made by the groom for neighbors and relatives who have become the tradition of our village if there is a proposal.
