SHE
15| Wedding

After hearing Lastri's explanation that made me shocked, I immediately went home to Lastri. Leaving him alone takes care of the santriwati. Because of the distance of my house with the canteen close, I decided to go through the kitchen door only.

In the kitchen, I found the figure of Anjani mbak with Mimi and some santriwati mbak-mbak who served in Mimi's ndalem.

"Assalamu'alaikum Mi" my greetings were instantly answered by everyone in unison.

I approached Mimi and whispered in her ear.

"Mi, does Ara want to get married?" Ask me, making Mimi surprised.

"Where are you?" mimi asked without answering my question.

"Mii... I don't want to marry young!!" I said, I was welding while holding the hand of Mimi who was busy frying tempe mendoan.

"Wes there! Cut the cooking oil later you!!" mimi. But I'm still hanging on Mimi's shoulders.

No wonder if it's just the cooking oil, the important thing is I don't marry young!!!

"Mi???" whining me again while showing a face of wanting to cry.

"Sana, meet your brother! Talk carefully!!"

Hearing Mimi's words makes my head stand up straight, talking to Abi??? You could die young before my wedding!!!

"Mi???" whining me again regardless of Mimi's ouster, as well as strange gazes from other khodam cultures.

"Wes there!! Mimi is busy cooking!!!"

Finally, with lethargic steps, I walked towards the reading room to meet Abi. Abi sat down while reading a book that I did not know while accompanied by Fajar, my youngest brother. I sat next to Dawn who also focused on the book of Abi.

"Jar, didn't go to your school?" Ask me pleasantries.

"No. I am comforting" he replied to me in shock.

How did you get Abi???

"Where to play! I'm gonna talk to Abi." I said finally, after the plan to expel the previous one was canceled.

"Males. Rained out. I want to nemenin Abi at home." Refusing it makes me angry.

Ih, this one leak cannot be compromised!!!

"Called Umi that's loh. There!" Say it again, trying to seduce him. But only answered with a head.

Oh my God, this boy!!!

Finally after hearing my debate with Dawn, Abi who felt it also sent Dawn to Putra's cottage to meet Kang Kafi. Tell him to take Mimi's order at Bu Kasiyem.

After the departure of Dawn, I finally approached Abi with a downcast face. Well, I'm the same Abi is not too close, and also because the distance I created is too wide for me and Abi can get close to each other. I do not know if Abi is still angry with my choice 3 years ago, when I chose to stop memorizing my Quran and choose to focus on pursuing science by studying in Jogja. But for sure, today I will repeat the story 3 years ago.

"Bi, Ara wants to get married?" Ask me carefully. Abi nodded without looking at me.

O Allah, return the servant to the womb, please!!!

"Don't you say Ara first?" Ask me again.

Abi closed his book and faced me. Abi's gaze drew straight to my heart. It feels like it's really cold.

"If Abi says, do you want to?" asked Abi who I immediately greeted with a coil.

"But at least Abi will tell Ara first, let Ara take heart." I still try to avoid.

"So I don't want to refuse you anymore. Just 3 years ago, you rejected Abi's choice. Now you must follow Abi's wishes!!" Abi's word made me both god-level shock and fear.

"Bi, cooking can not be ignored anyway? Ara new semester 6 loh? Cook want LDRs with your husband?" I tried to seduce Abi again to postpone this marriage until I graduated college.

"Later for your husband to live in Jogja."

Abi's answer frustrated me. Oh my God, I have a husband-to-be kok gini gini really???

"Abi, Ara is not ready to build a household ark with a man. Ara still wants to live freely, enjoying adolescence as an adult with Ara's friends. Ara was not ready if she had to stay at home to serve her husband, dedicating herself to reaching Jannah in this way Abi. Please, Ara please don't marry Ara now!! Marry Ja'far first bi, he's ready!!"

I said long and wide, prostrating at Abi's feet. Abi was still unmoved with no intention of waking me up or speaking a word to me, until my twin went into the reading room with Kang Kafi, as his loyal khadam Abi.

"Assalamu'alaikum bi" said Ja'far and crucified Abi's hand. I took a quick look and then prostrated myself at Abi's feet.

"Wa'alaikummussalam, ono opo?" abi asked after answering Ja'far's greeting. Ja'far glanced at me, then smiled obliquely before saying his goal came with the kang Kafi.

After hearing Ja'far Abi's words immediately stood without caring for me who was still prostrating at his feet.

O Allah, how do you share your own child bi???

Now replace the Ja'far sitting in front of me. I chipped slowly, then sat down next to him.

"Wes great behavior koyok arek kelik." Ja'far's words made my blood rise.

"The curse is Lo!! Not even kegebelain, even mengelekin!!!" say I grunt.

"Astaghfirullah's. Istighfar neng, gini-gini ane son of man. The most noble man created by God. You should be grateful to have a face like ane!!"

Huft, start his lecture ustadz Ja'far Qomaruddin.

"Yes, you know that overseas graduates. What does it mean that I didn't pass!!" I said as I walked into the kitchen to meet Mimi. Leaving the laughing Ja'far giggling behind me.

Going into the kitchen, I see the atmosphere has begun to quiet. Anjani's mother still prepares food on the table, while the other khodam mbak wash the cookware in the back near the bathroom. I approached Mbak Anjani and helped arrange the food on the dining table.

"Mimi where is mbak?" Ask me after being close to Mbak Anjani.

"To the market share with Laila, want to buy treats for later tonight" replied Anjani.

I breathe softly.

"Emang tonight's the show so?" ask me, make sure this isn't all a dream. Mbak Anjani nodded, assuring.

Well, tonight is an introductory event between two families. It is easier to call an official application. But my marriage was confirmed to be one week later. Oh, God is so good???

Abi Sama Mimi decided not to invite my college friends, because they too must be too far to come to Malang. They only invited large families and residents around the cottage, the rest were invited guests from the groom.

Speaking of the groom. I've never met him, his name I don't know. What is certain from the story Lastri earlier, I can know that my candidate is a Gus aka the son of a teacher from my Abah, which is automatically certainly a Kyai. Therefore, when the proposal came, Abi was very reluctant to reject it and preferred to accept it, even though Abi knew that I would be the victim.

Huh, why is my life story like teenage novels that are forced to marry???

"Sir, may I ask you?" I whispered beside Anjani who was making milk tea.

"Ask what?"

"Eee... What's my name?"

Mbak Anjani looks to remember one of the names that he must have heard recently. Still stirring milk tea, mbak Anjani uttered a name that made me shocked.

"If you're not mistaken, call him Gus Reon"

Seriate...
