If Gede is asked to attend tomorrow. Bram instead sent a message to Hilman to come to his residence that afternoon. Bram had told Ayra that her daughter would not be present in the front room for as long as Hilman came.
Bram will deliver the rejection. After all, Hilman had to be told. He also knew that there was no way he and Gede were elected. There is still one chosen to accompany his daughter.
The housekeeper came to tell Ayra that the awaited one had come. The hostess called her husband, who was busy with his reading.
"Mas, Hilman has come..."Ayra said when she was near her husband.
Bram closed the book he was reading. He rushed towards the living room. Ayra also stood up. Arriving in the living room, Hilman greeted the homeowner so politely.
Almost twenty minutes passed, the chat was still limited to Hilman's career development. When Bram thought it was right. He also reported that he was not chosen to accompany Qiya.
"I'm sorry, son Hilman. Not that Nak Hilman is bad in the eyes of our son and our family. However, marriage should be based on the same liking to attend love. Although there are among families or boarding houses arranged. But for my family, I freed my children to choose a life companion but I also kept an eye on it" Bram said.
"I mean Mr. Bram. I was rejected?" hilman.
"This is Nak Hilman, Nak Hilman does not mean bad even though he is not a match for Qiya. Maybe there is someone more worthy to accompany Nak Hilman. Hilman's son is a good man. Lah Wong people's representative. But the heart, we cannot force. So did Qiya, Gede liked him and he proposed to Qiya. Qiya also likes Gede then accept it even though Nak Hilman is also good. Not that it's better. But what Qiya likes to accompany himself, he is more likely to be Gede. Rest assured, handsome, successful, and good youth like son Hilman will find a good soul mate. Although not a match with our daughter" Uca Ayra quickly. Long and clear Ayra said.
Hilman. He did not expect to be rejected. How could Qiya like a doctor who is not even an alumnus of any boarding school.
"So soon Qiya fell in love after our marriage process was canceled." Hilman.
Bram felt a little dislike of the sentence Hilman said.
"If you used to choose your soul mate because you want to worship. He thought falling in love after marriage, dating after marriage would be wonderful. Nak Hilman is considered a gentleman because of his interest. So's Now. But what is different, at this time my daughter has already dropped her heart on Doctor Gede" said Bram quickly. Ayra slightly rubbed her husband's p@ha.
Although Bram said it with a soft tone and inaudible emotion. But Ayra knew that her husband was not pleased with what Hilman said.
"What made you fall for that guy Qiy." Inner Hilman.
"Sorry sir, can't I meet and talk to Qiya?" Ask Hilman.
"I think yesterday you proposed to my daughter through me. Why should we meet now?" ask Bram.
Hilman was silent, he could see the dislike gaze of the owner of the house.
"It's lucky that the doctor got your daughter. Alright, I will accept this decision. Then excuse me to go home. I want to convey this to Grandpa ", Hilman said.
He was so disappointed, he said goodbye. In his car. While driving his car. He cried over the rejection that Qiya had done. Hearts that are still hot and disappointed. He pulled the car over.
[Qiy. Give me one reason why you chose that man.]
Hilman sent a message to Qiya. Minutes change, he never saw the sign contang turned blue. Actually Qiya had seen and read the message in kite mode but he did not dare to open it. He was confused as to what to answer. It is impossible to answer what is. But if Tia answered was not a wise attitude.
Finally Qiya ventured to open and reply to a message from Hilman.
[The most appropriate reason may be because we are not a matchmaker Hilman. Because Gus Baha also dawuh 'The fool is who wants to invite married and want to be invited to marry'. There must be positive and negative poles to achieve attraction, and maybe we are both positive so we can not meet in a marriage magnet.]
Hilman read the message. He shed tears. There was a sense of resentment in her heart towards her Papa who had cancelled her marriage plans with Qiya. Now girls pujaan many santri when mondok used to have been betrothed by men who were not descendants of Kyai or santri. He's just an ordinary guy.
"What is more this doctor than... Hhh..."
His hand quickly typed back the message onto Qiya.
[Alright thank you. May you be happy Qiy. I hope you have no regrets about your choice. Best prayer for you. If the heart you choose hurts you. I will never forgive him who wasted the opportunity I so desperately hoped to fall for me.]
Hilman was looking for a place where he could calm a hot heart. Heartbreak that people may say break up.
[Pardon Qiya Mas Hilman. Please forgive Qiya for hurting Hilman. Hopefully later Hilman will meet a woman who is much better than Qiya and can be much happier than Qiya. Gus Baha also once said Mas, 'Love is not enough to not hurt the beloved. But, also have to be patient when hurt by loved ones'. ~]
Qiya closed her phone. He did not dare to re-read the message when replied again by Hilman. The Ayra girl shed her tears. He was not crying because of Hilman's loss. He was in the position of Hilman. He feels pain when what is expected does not match what happened.
He repeatedly begged for forgiveness for hurting a creature of God. He felt sinful, but he could not resist his heart that half his soul had been anchored to the man named Gede Ardhana.
"Hiks.... Hix... Forgive Kulo Gusti.... Forgive this heart that has hurt your creatures... Forgive Kulo... " Qiya covered her face with her two palms.
"Qiy, tomorrow if the same marriage Buy Gede. You're going to live in Bali meaning?" ask Ammar who is ready with a shirt shirt and hair that has been neatly combed.
"Yes Ndak knows mas, her name is female makmum her husband." Said Qiya who was just looking towards the assistants who were busy preparing the dining table.
"Mas wishes you were here later, pity Mama and Papa if you go." Ammar.
"Hust... Yes Ndak can arrange that. If Qiya is married, let her and her husband make their life plans. Mama and Papa it doesn't matter if all of Mama and Papa's kids don't live here. The important thing is that you are happy, Sakinah mawadah warahmah. That's more than enough to make Mama and Papa happy." Said Ayra who was already present in the room while pushing the wheelchair Eyang Lukis.
"Where has Ma been?" Bram asked who had not seen her mother-in-law's presence.
"Just get out of the highway said Kak Siti." Ayra.
Before long the entire Pradipta family has been present to welcome the Gede family. Furqon and Umi Laila.
They are still waiting for Gede and Family. But what was awaited never came.
"May your future daughter-in-law not go back to lost Ayra." whispered Bram to Ayra because some family members are already impatient. The promised time has passed by an hour.
The sound of the roar of the car from the front makes the family members can breathe a sigh of relief.
"The camera's coming, ma'am "Say one of the assistants to Ayra.
"Alhamdulillah... Directly welcome to enter mbok." Pinta Ayra's.
When Gede's entourage came in. Umi Laila and Niang Ayu who looked at each other together smiled. Their age is old. The style of dress, the style of sitting from Umi Laila and Niang Ayu which also did not change much just gray hair on the head that looks indicate he is no longer young, but still beautiful.
"Doctor Ayu" said Umi Laila.
"Mrs Laila..." Niang Ayu greeted from his wheelchair.
