The Gema Shahadah Aisyah
Jaya and Renata Permit

The sound of horn honking was heard chasing the shocking security guard who was asleep at the post near the gate. The 50-year-old man was aghast running out to open the gate even though his eyes were still half open.

"Sir, please get in my car." Aisyah got out of the car in a hurry.

"Lho Ci Atalie just came out and went home?" The security guard was only able to open his eyes completely after hearing Aisyah's voice.

"Yes, please, sir." Aisyah ran through her yard.

"Yes I entered the car, why rush to beol ya Ci?" The security guard saw that Aisyah's tiny back was getting away, he had long worked for the Jaya family so he knew the habits of Aisyah. In her childhood every home school Aisyah always rush into the house because kebelet BAB.

"Sir, his drool on the chin is clean!" Aisha half-cried from the door of her house.

"Si Cici wear see my iler all over again." He rubbed his chin wet with his own saliva before putting Atalie's car into the garage.

"Mama!" Aisyah looking for her mama to the back garden. Usually in the morning Renata is in the garden to water ornamental plants or feed fish. "Mama."

"What the hell is Atalie." Renata turned her body to hear Aisyah's voice noisily calling out to him. "Why are you so dirty?"

"Ma, I want to talk seriously." Aisyah approached Renata at the edge of the pond. Koi fish with various patterns rose to the surface when Renata threw the feed.

"Change the clothes first, the smell of mud." Renata pushed Aisyah's back to change clothes first.

"Ma what I want to talk about is much more important than clothes."

"What the hell, are you pregnant?" Ask Renata.

"Astaghfirullah Ma, marry me yet!" Aisyah stomped her feet.

"Mante Veve's daughter yesterday suddenly told me she was pregnant so she's getting married next Sunday."

"Do you know my lecturer who was here at the time?" Aisyah sat next to her mother hanging her legs to the pool.

"Why?"

"Ma, he said he wanted to marry me." Aisyah's eyes twinkled as she said that, she still remembered every word Umar said and it was very thrilling.

"Why does she want to marry you, you are pregnant with her child."

"Mom, I'm not pregnant."

"Why did he suddenly want to marry you?"

"Actually I've liked Mas Umar for a long time but he didn't seem to care, just now suddenly he said he wanted to come here with Abah and Ummi to propose to me."

"You're a kid getting married?"

"I'm 24 years old soon." Aisyah reminded her mom for the umpteenth time that she was no longer a child.

"You think marriage is easy, you can't cook instant noodles." Renata has not taught Aisyah about cooking or other household chores. It was her fault but Renata never expected that Aisyah would marry young. Renata had predicted Aisyah would get married at the age of 30 after her successful career.

"Who said I can't cook instant noodles." Aisyah once tried cooking instant noodles at the Gracia boarding house even though it failed. But at least he tried. After all, it includes people who learn things easily.

"Keep you want to feed your husband instant noodles every day?"

"No, it's Ma."

"Some of you haven't graduated yet."

"I'm graduating next month, I also have plans to open a boutique after graduation."

"Let's talk about this with Papa, marriage is once in a lifetime, you have to think carefully." Renata left after feeding the fish.

Aisyah was still pensively in disbelief if Umar would actually propose to her. He was willing to give up because reportedly Umar and Hilya will soon get married.

"God is truly magical." Aisyah looked up at the blue sky. The cloudy night that hung over slowly disappeared until the sky was fully visible.

Aisha did not dare to pray for Umar to Allah, she only often whispered it in her heart and dream. But God knows everything, even if it is hidden behind the hearts of men.

"Why don't we get a phone number, I don't even know what time he's coming here." Aisyah went from there to her room to change clothes. His anger subsided immediately after hearing the expression of Umar's feelings. He couldn't even stop smiling.

Meanwhile Renata, Jaya and Daniel perform morning services like their usual routine. After that they will have breakfast together before doing activities outside the home. They were all busy people, there was no free time even on the weekends.

"So right Umar will propose to you?" Jaya looked straight at Aisyah behind the thick glasses perched on her nose.

"Yes Pa, Mas Umar said he'd be here to propose to me." Aisha answered with a radiant face. A red tinge was visible on his cheek from the moment he got home.

"Hah, Brother wants to be proposed, how can Mas Umar want to be with Brother Atalie?" Daniel stuck out his ignorant tongue at Aisha.

Aisyah kicked Daniel's leg for talking recklessly.

"Are you ready?" Ask Jaya again.

Aisyah nodded, how could she not be ready to be proposed by the man she had liked for a long time.

"All right, tell Umar to come."

"Papa agrees?" Renata did not believe Jaya would allow Umar to come.

"Why not?" Jaya put her shoulders back and enjoyed her breakfast this morning.

"But Pa—"

"Umar is a good man, he is also well established and fluent in Mandarin."

"Papa's always obsessed with people who speak Mandarin." Renata snorted in annoyance, Jaya's consideration of Aisyah's future husband was very unreasonable.

"That's enough for Papa to accept Umar."

"Pa, getting married is not easy, Atalie also has to learn a lot of things, Papa knows Atalie herself does not know anything about getting married."

"Atalie's got us, her parents who are always ready to be by her side, if marriage is a difficult thing then we'll make it easy."

Aisyah was flabbergasted, seeing her papa instantly give her permission like a miracle. He had never seen his papa so readily agree to his wishes.

"Don't you agree right away?"

"Papa talked about this with Umar."

"When Pa?"

"When he brought you here."

A pair of Aisyah's eyes widened, so Umar had already said his intention to Jaya. Aisyah had no idea about it at all. Perhaps that was why Umar would not tell when Aisha asked him.

"At that time Umar said he liked you."

Aisyah held a smile, rather than expressing feelings towards him Umar preferred to say that to Jaya. Umar takes a direct approach to Jaya.

"Papa once said that I should marry a fellow Chinese."

"Now it's not a problem, you're different." There was a look of sadness on Jaya's face when she said that but she immediately covered it with a smile and continued eating. "Today Papa will be home early."

"But I don't know what time Umar is here yet."

"Jam 2 he said." Jaya brandished her phone.

"Papa has Mas Umar's contact?" Aisyah was shocked for the umpteenth time. It turns out that Umar had approached Jaya earlier than Aisyah. Aisyah felt defeated by her own papa. He also had no reason to ask for Umar's phone number rather he prestige asking first.

"Do you not have any?" Renata asked in disbelief.

Aisyah shakes.

"Where do you want to get married, you don't have each other's contacts." Renata grumbled as he chewed on the last mouthful.

Aisyah just grinned at her mama's taunts. They can exchange numbers after meeting later from Umar who asked for it first.
