Thanks For Your Love
Part-1 Proposal
A week passed after the Rome abduction tragedy. Trauma still lingers in the memory of Rome, sometimes making her parno herself when she wants to go home from the hospital. So as busy as it is Tommy he will always take and pick up Roma when leaving and coming home from work.
"Bang, from tomorrow you don't have to pick me up again ya–." pinta Roma when Tommy picks him up from work.
"Well, why the deck?" Tommy knitted his two eyebrows. He looked at the girl who had managed to snare his heart.
"I don't want that Brother's soybean Bang. Early in the morning have to go to the apartment first to pick me up, in the afternoon so also pick me up from the hospital and continue to go to the apartment and return to the office. Ntar long ago Brother elders in the street. Hehe–." Roma feel amused themselves when imagining every trip Tommy to pick him up, not to mention if they are stuck in traffic, Tommy must be more wasted on the road.
"Cup–." Tommy kissed her lover's lips. "Makanya we marry now yes, let us live together so we can reduce the old brother on the road."
"Tomorrow the Brother family will come to propose, you are patient. Getting married is not as easy as turning over the palm of Bang, everything needs preparation. Got to find a building, catering, WO, wedding dress and more."
"Have you forgotten who your future husband is?" said Tommy bragged about himself. "If you forget to let Brother ingetin, but–." Tommy points at his cheek which means asking Roma to kiss him first.
"Don't, I want–." Roma pushed softly on Tommy's cheek that he had pointed at.
"Can't you?"
"That's not the time of Bang–."
"Cup–." again Tommy landed his kiss in Rome. "If that's what you kiss."
"Don't, that's cheating on his name." Rome pursed her lips.
"You don't have to think about WO and all that stuff. If you have said yes, you can prepare everything today" Tommy said with confidence.
"How'd it go?"
"You said yes, you just made it all up." Rome thought for a moment.
"No, I also do not want if the wedding I have a hurry effect. Must be of course the date that fits Bang, not just our readiness aja Bang, Bang, but also our immediate family must also adjust when the right time for our family can gather and come to our wedding."
"That's good, only the only child, am I? My family has to adjust my brothers' schedule when they're off or on vacation."
"I don't want to be on my wedding day, one of my brothers isn't there. I want them to watch my wedding Bang." The tears of Rome. In her family lived unmarried Roma and Rome was also her only daughter. That would make her wedding feel special compared to her brothers' previous wedding.
"Yes Brother knows–, whatever the decision will be, Brother does not want us to get engaged first, Brother wants to get married immediately. Or tomorrow's proposal event as well as our engagement event just how?"
"Suddenly gini bang? My family only wanted a proposal."
"Yes, you will tell your parents that tomorrow is our engagement."
"But how is the preparation Bang? Don't be weird, deh–." Roma know that preparing for the engagement is almost the same as the wedding only the guests are limited and most are only attended by the family.
"You don't have to think about that. If you agree later Brother contact the WO party to decorate your house how?"
"I have to negotiate first with my parents Bang–." Wah can be surprised by Mr equally Mamak if the event suddenly like this? Think Roma.
"Yes you just call now, or you want us to go straight to your parents' house, how?"
"What a good thing is to bang. I just follow." replied Roma resigned, he wanted to leave all the decisions to his parents.
"Okay, let's go to your house now." Tommy turned the car around. The goal is now to change to the house of Roman parents.
An hour long trip they took to get to the home of the future-in-law.
When he saw Tommy's presence, Togar and Berta his wife felt surprised because they knew Tommy's family would come during his application tomorrow.
"Son Tommy, what's going on these nights? Not tomorrow's show, is it?" berta asked as Tommy kissed the back of her hand.
"Yes Aunty, the plan is so but there's little I want to talk about with Om and Auntie."
"Yes, we entered first while enjoying coffee made by the Romans." Togar gave the code for the girl to go inside and make them coffee.
Roma who already know the meaning of his Father went straight into the kitchen to make coffee according to Togar's orders.
"What's up, son? Is anything important?" Berta who was impatiently waiting for the news that would be delivered his prospective daughter-in-law.
"Look Om, Auntie–, the plan is not tomorrow I and my family will come to propose to Rome, but if I may ask for tomorrow as well as the engagement event how about Om, Tan?" Tommy looked at his two future in-laws in turn.
Both parents looked at each other.
"Why is this so sudden, Tommy? Aunty has not prepared anything just preparation to welcome the arrival of the family son Tommy alone." said Berta.
"If Om and Aunt agree tonight I will bring the WO to decorate this house, or Auntie and Om want to be held in the hotel alone can also be." proposed Tommy.
"How Sir?" Berta asked her husband who was also surprised by the request of his future daughter-in-law.
"If you want to do Boru yourself?" Togar instead throws the question to Roma his new daughter appears with a tray containing coffee and snacks in her hand.
"If Rome follows the words of the Father with Mamak alone." while putting coffee and snacks. Then sit next to Tommy.
"In that case, so as not to bother Om and Aunt we should have a hotel. How's it?" tommy's suggestion because he saw the two prospective in-laws seemed confused to make a decision.
"But I want it after the wedding proposal only Om, Tan–. No need to go through the engagement process so if you can proposal and engagement just put together the event."
"It's okay, Tommy. Tomorrow is still planned early, if the marriage problem we talk with the family who gather tomorrow" said Togar then invite Tommy to drink coffee made by his daughter.
Roma is very understanding with the attitude of his parents, they do not want to trouble his future daughter-in-law let alone the party of his extended family. They know Tommy's good intentions only that they also want their family principles to be respected.
Tommy did not want to impose his will. He agreed with their original plan.
...💗💗💗...
The long-awaited day arrives where Tommy is getting ready with his family for the Rome residence. Not spared Zia, Zio and their spouses and children also attended a sacred Tommy proposal event. Siska also participated in accompanying her former daughter-in-law with Indah and Pramudja and several other relatives who also drove Tommy to propose to her beloved girl.
Arriving at the Nasution family residence they were welcomed by the entire family of Rome. Because Roma is a batak girl, the application event was carried out customarily batak in accordance with the request of both Roman parents.
Tommy has learned the customary ways of batak. When they first arrived at the first event was Mangarrit Boru which means a man must convey his desire to marry the girl of his choice to his parents, so parents here are obliged to explore who the woman is. Whether if when they come to propose will be accepted or whether the woman has another man before their child proposes to the woman. Everything needs to be investigated first. But because Tommy's parents are from the Javanese tribe, this certainly must be done by parties who better understand about the custom. Therefore Tommy asked for help to one of the batak family as well to be his representative.
Then an MC read out the next event that the groom with the family came and introduced directly to the boru (women) and conveyed their intentions and goals came and this is called Padamos Hata.
After choosing a representative of each party who will later answer each other the questions that will be asked.
“What is the meaning of brother family coming to our house?” ask one of the female representatives.
"Given our son Tommy who is already a big boy, has finished school, there is already his job, and now he aspires to be married, she said, and we want to ask right in this father's house there is a daughter named Romauly who is the father's daughter and has anyone asked her?“ ask the Tommy family represented by other batak families who are more aware of the batak custom.
“True, our daughter is named Romauly and to our knowledge no one has asked her yet.” replied a representative from the Roma side.
“Alright–, so are we from the party who came this allowed to continue our intention is to apply for Mr Nasution's daughter?“ ask Tommy's representative.
“Because our daughter Romauly has not proposed, then there is no reason for us to reject the goodwill of the family brother.“ replied a representative from the family of Rome.
Supposedly after the event has finished hata men go home and will return again according to the specified time, but because they already have a word of agreement before then the event was continued with the event Patobang Hata (Melamar).
In applying for this, the male party must bring Salipi. Salipi are placed in a rectangular shaped pouch made of white pandan woven mats and around it decorated with colorful threads. In it there is betel chalk, betel nut, gambir, tobacco, and burangir (whale leaves). Tommy has been taught by Togar anything that must be prepared. And the family who became his guardian had told Indah and Pram.
Lovely was very happy to prepare everything sincerely. He felt that the custom of the batak family was very unique.
Then the salipi was given to the woman represented by Tommy's side earlier, then accompanied by words. “Can we already convey our wishes?”
"Please convey. Sirih we accept.” this time the receiving is a party from a good expert or customary penetrator.
"We have conveyed the meaning of our arrival. About the daughter of the Father, Romauly is allowed to be a life companion of our son Tommy?”
"We are honored." replied the representative of the Romans. "But given that there is a Rome here, there is our mora. Therefore it is our Mora who knows and welcomes the wishes of our family, with all humility then this event we submit to our mora.” The Roma representative handed the microphone to Mora's side
“Assalamu’alaikum Wr.Wb, thank you to the female family for giving me confidence as the mora of this family. The welcome of the son of boru father, has been great hearted but his father handed it to us. Of course, we from the mora ni mora side are very happy. But that's how beautiful culture is not that easy picking our flowers without customary conditions. If agreed then the terms we will convey are as follows." Mora also read the requirements requested by the women.
These requirements can also be determined by both parties
