I touched my own chest, still waiting for Ayumna who was silent almost without expression. He may be surprised, obviously, but somehow, I don't want to understand, want to hear an answer immediately and just want to hear a good answer.
Wasn't he the one who came mysteriously in the carriage and made up the story that I was his future husband? Now that I want to believe that story, I also want to be his future. So he cannot refuse this seriousness.
More than that, I still desperately wanted to hear her other stories, and out of nowhere the feelings that were now lodged in my heart, that made me feel steady and increasingly guided me, she said, to be sure that whoever this Mima Ayumna Lenkara is, something she told me about the future or the past about us, all of it, is definitely not something bad. Even a normal human would doubt what he said in the carriage, that afternoon.
“How?” It might sound a little urgent.
“I'm willing,” he replied, shaking my universe.
“Alhamdulillah!” Etek and Mama simultaneously shouted, the two women scooped their faces with both palms, similar to mothers who were meng “Aamiin” is something.
My gaze and Ayumna met, a second later we both bowed in shame. I guess it's good that I, Ayumna too, didn't expect that today would exist. I'm glad this proposal has finally been accepted.
“Ay, thanks.” May she be unaware of my vocal cords shaking so glad.

The next day I went out of town, but my heart was left in my hometown, in the house of Ayumna.
While knitting feelings, we started preparing everything for the wedding day. I, um more precisely Mama wants a magnificent wedding party as a representation of abundant happiness when receiving new members in the family. Our family will soon not only consist of two members, but will there be three, four, five or more?
Mama wants everyone to see how happy she is for Ayumna to be the wife of her father.
“Who said mom would welcome daughter-in-law? Mama wants to welcome the new daughter of Mama,” she said while observing the catalog our vendors were offering. A similar sentence threatens that the presence of Ayumna will replace my position in Mama's heart. It's been imagined that two women will conspire to bring me down if I make the slightest mistake.

As the wedding day drew near, I was getting assignments out of town more and more, only occasionally being able to go home, and I always used the opportunity to meet my future wife.
Like tonight, upon arrival from Jakarta, I tracked down Mama's house at eight o'clock in the evening, really just changed clothes and asked Mama for permission to go straight to Ayumna's house, half an hour ago Ayumna sent me a message about her disagreements with one of Mama's thoughts about preparing for our wedding.
Tired of course, but letting the girl grumble alone, I think the effect will be greater than just the tiredness of work. Ayumna was already at the door when she heard the sound of my car engine stopping.
She smiled waiting for me at the base of the stairs, an expression that made my tiredness disappear by half.
“Padahat can be discussed tomorrow,” he said let me go up to the terrace. He sent me a message that I didn't have to come right away, and he can wait for tomorrow to talk about it. Half want to solve the problem, the other half is indeed my kangen who does not want to lose.
“Emang deliberately want to meet you, kok.”
People say, the days leading up to marriage is a very cursory time, not a few couples who give up on the problems that come at times like this.
My story with Tiara for example, ended in the last seconds of the future. And it has a big impact on how Mom feels. I was just trying to anticipate that Ayumna would not feel left alone and take a unilateral decision.
Since the day of our closeness, I know, Ayumna is an adult female figure who can deal with all conflicts carefully and wisely. I almost never heard him complain or grumble at length, so when just one time shows his protest, I can make sure he is in need of a interlocutor.
I sat in the rattan chair in front of the porch.
“I'll get you a drink first, yes.”
“All meals, yes, Ay, I'm laper. Last meal was 11.00 lunches earlier.”
“You eat cows? I made iga soup this afternoon.”
I tried hard to push the saliva down the throat to hear the food menu that Ayumna offered. But more than that, what makes me even more unexpected is, Ayumna did not show a face of annoyance at all, even though I came to hear her sigh and tiredness during my time away.
“Mau!” I said half-wetting.

“Where is your job?” he asked after I finished enjoying one bowl of the most delicious fresh rib soup of my life.
“Early next month I will be appointed supervisor.”
“Supervisor?”
“Supervisor level, so supervisor for the conductors,” I replied briefly. He's nodding.
“Not married to you yet I've climbed up the ranks. Means your presence is a blessing to our lives.”
“Aamiin, but is that so?”
“Iya, tau!” seriously answer.
Ayumna was just about to make another statement about something that was still stuck in her heart. But a few seconds passed and he still seemed to be considering the word he was going to say, well, Ay. Let me do the talking.
“Sorry yes, lately so busy, you must be overwhelmed ya prepare everything?” I changed the seat slightly so that facing Ayumna was limited to one small table between our rattan chairs. "Is there anything that doesn't go your way?"
“Shaka, Sorry... but your mama's design,” he said carefully.
“For a while, I'm not happy to hear you say Mama you, mama you are so. How about we call it ‘Mama’,” protest me a little. I feel like there's a big Gap that Ayumna just thinks Mama is my mama, not her Mama. Yes although officially he has not become a daughter-in-law, but Mama has since when to consider Ayumna is her daughter.
“Iya, How?”
“I think, too much. Last afternoon Mama said the number of invitations suddenly became 5,000 people.” Ayumna panicked, her big eyes growing bigger as she imagined the excessive number of invitations.
From the beginning, Ayumna expressed her desire to create a private party that was only attended by the closest people. The invited guests from his side were not even more than 100 people.
“That time I had a deal with 3,000 invitations, but this afternoon my mom said it was 5,000. I'm shock.” Ayumna was not making things up, her face did look worried, as if those 5,000 people were zombies that would come to attack her.
If you look around, she is indeed a woman who does not have many circle friendships, according to Tek Da story even recently Ayumna actively interact and talk with people around.
Everything Ayumna prepared was always his philosophy, the reason was always sacred and reasonable. But Mama's wish is still humane, considering her intention is to tell the world about the presence of girls in her life.
“Later I try to talk again with mama yes, Ay.”
“Thanks yes, Shaka." Murat was relieved to look on her beautiful face.
“You don't rouse, yes!” I propped up my chin with one hand and spoke as softly as I could in front of him.
“Aaan anyway?”
“Ay,” call me, Ayumna turned her head without answering.
“This prospective husband of yours, just an ordinary man, I am like a man in general, who does not have the black magic to be able to look into the heart of his woman. I'm also not very good at psychology and emotions, so I can't guess certain codes.but I know, you're an adult woman who's not hard to be open about everything. Whatever you feel, whatever you want to say. I'll listen to it.”
Ayumna nodded, may she really understand my words and will still understand even though she is in an emotional state, someday.
“Say my married friends, guys always sucks. But I'll reduce the shitty levels in me as your husband, later.”
“Apaan anyway!” Ayumna flicked her palm in front of my face. The basic adult woman, she could not hear such a classic promise.
The little pebbles while preparing for our wedding did not end that night. Ahead of the wedding, there are still very many things that become a test of our seriousness. Especially the issue of customs that are still held in high esteem by the family and relatives of Ayumna.
Of all the lines of trouble, I found nothing, except Mima ayumna Lenkara, who was smart, graceful and wise, faced everything.
She was not like women in general who would easily grumble, nag and protest without a solution, let alone silence me.
I know more and more that my future wife is an extraordinary mature woman, who has the ability to make the right decisions in difficult situations, and is able to face difficulties with wisdom and courage, but it did not in the least detract from his respect for the older people.
Where did he get his wisdom?
An attitude that erodes all doubts and builds a full conviction that Ayumna is the best woman for my life. So with just one breath I speak with confidence.
“I received marriage Mima Ayumna Lenkara binti Rizal with the dowry, cash!”
From the first day I picked up Ayumna, all happiness immediately invaded our hearts.
***
I lightly closed the door behind us, Ayumna and I, who were in her room, without air conditioning, but the smell of a girl's faucet made tonight too fresh.
Ayumna smiled in a hug, just after I peeked her forehead deep, over and over. He must have known, I wouldn't let this night pass without something happening.
“Did you also witness something like this while you were on your way back then, Ay?” I said shortly after locking his eyes right under me.
Then my girl shook her head slowly, “No,” she said.
“Alright, it means beautiful and delicious tonight has never been imagined by us before.” I'm losing more and more “sabar” and “sadarku” while staring all the more and more of a form I'm craving.
I began to touch, as soft as the look of an eye stroking this mane. Rintih, erang also let loose, roaring into a melodic balance of our love that night.
The rhythm is increasingly uncontrollable, the breathing becomes increasingly heavy and entangling, but strangely makes the body that has been fused this feels lighter, we are getting ready to really float, we are ready to really float, celebrate foreign favors, which after tonight we will feel more often.
I focused my mind more and more, looking at the severed and open look of his eyes every once in a while, this first impression should be without any flaws whatsoever.
Until when all the flavors wrestle and almost to the highest point. Her beautiful eyeballs finally opened long enough, widening to receive the warm and moist that willingly, perfectly qualifies into a most glorious place in a woman's body.yes, womb, womb, our new family will live there.
“Shaka...” shamelessly. When the name was mentioned, at that time I felt that I had become strong and whole as a man.
I delivered a kiss that was no less warm like the first kiss earlier. Implying thanks for your acceptance tonight. Finally, we collapsed side by side, regulating the breath and drying each sweat.
“Ay, thank you,” these still-vibrating fingers stroked her sweet blushing face after our tussle.
“Happy celebrating love.” Ayumna came back shy.
“Happy celebrating love, Honey. Celebrating love is not only in a happy time, it is not necessary because there are achievements. Because your presence in my life alone, is a joy.”
That night was still quite long, we chose to talk about future life plans.
