The Power of a Prayer
CHAPTER 57 KSD_The Result of Matchmaking


"Oh God, why is my life destined to be like this?" My inner being, I'm down.


My dad moved to sit on the porch, Eli and Mom were helping out in the kitchen. I rested my head on the sofa while staring at the ceiling.


Outside, I heard Dad talking to someone, maybe his dad has gone home.


"Assalamualaikum" greeting him, I looked up at the coming one.


"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullah" I said, I do not believe in my eyes. "Well, Dad?" I looked at Tera's father, Mr. Abdul.


"Yes, this is Tera's father" My father replied that I was talking to him when I was talking to Abdul.


"Dhani?" Said Mr. Abdul.


"It's not the wrong address, is it? This real?"I still don't believe this.


"This is your son?" Mr. Abdul ignored my words, he even talked to my father.


Everyone was already sitting in the living room, the dishes had also been served.


"Let my son speak the decision is in his hands" my father said.


"Well, son give his decision, I will not force you to hide Nera does not know yet. Whatever the decision, I'll accept it because you're going to make it."


"Nera?" Said Mother.


"Okay, Dad, I'll ask for it tomorrow" I said steadily.


"Well?" Dad frowned, maybe Dad didn't pay attention to what I said in the car only Mom smiled. Apparently Mom remembered what I said in the car.


"If you marry, how to Yah?" I looked at Dad to make my Dad gap.


"Not quite your age, not yet seventeen years" said Father made Mr. Abdul chuckle.


"Well, if I turn seventeen that day I'll go home with Nera."


"Do you know where she goes?" Challenging Dad, Mr. Abdul only smiles unclear because he knows me in one cottage.


I remembered how the struggle to get Nera's school information, it was the stupidest thing I've ever done.


"Don't ask me again Well, now I want to ask. Why did Dad call him Tera while the two parents just called him Nera, even his beloved brother called that too."


"Likes Daddy dong, hehehe" My dad and the others chuckled.


"So Sister Tera who was in the Brother's prayer in the third of the night?" Cetus Eli made me glare at him.


"Oh yeah?" Nera's mother, Ms. Sari.


"You know where the hell?" Ask Mom to start wondering.


"Meet at OSN at the District level" I said clearly. "Continue fitting will go national I lost in the District so can not get to know more closely, uh even met in the same Junior High School."


"What is important now is that Brother's prayer has been in jibabah, the spirit of prayer again let him be in a match with God" Eli said again.


"Miain O Allah" I said in my heart.


"Hopefully Nera doesn't have a boyfriend, but she says she has a view of the future" Ms Sari's remarks reminded me of the events of half a year ago, about Nera revealing if she has another man besides me.


"Try to make sure again Mom" I asked Ms. Sari.


"Yes, I'll just call you this time?" Ms. Sari asked for our opinion.


"Can you call this night to the cottage?" Abdul is not sure.


"The rules should not be Well, but usually if it is important it is okay. Now Nera is carrying a cellphone" I explained.


"Yes Well, Nera went to the district to inform Mother" Bu Sari told her husband.


"May go national."


"Mi'mi'n god."


"Yes, I called Nera first."


Bu Sari dialed Nera's number, not taking a long walk in the lift.


"Mom's Assalamualaikum" greeting Nera across, we all heard because at the loud speaker.


"Wa'alaikumsalam" said Bu Sari, the others only answered slowly.


"What's wrong, ma'am?"


"Nothing, I miss."


"Mom mah lebay, the feeling this morning phone, yesterday also the longing period phone continues. Oh yeah, what's Mom doing?"


"Well, how about that again, ma'am?"


"Mom's curious, anyway."


"Dad was also curious" Mr. Abdul chimed in.


"Tumben Daddy's making a sound?"


"What friends of yours are coming home together?"


"Hm, this Dad. What the hell is going on, Nera gets suspicious. Do not let any matchmaking that is not clear it is Yah and now is not the time of Siti Nurbaya anymore."


"No boy, now modern" Mr. Abdul looked at my father and then turned to look at me while raising his eyebrows for an opinion.


I took Ms. Sari's phone from Mr. Abdul. "Hey, darling! You got another girlfriend besides me?"


"Loh!" Nera seemed surprised. "You don't fuck around, I still want to go to school. It will be nothing else with my father" said Nera Long.


"What am I really doing?"


"Why in my house, she said of the family event. Don't tell me you're proposing to me."


"If so why? You're not the mother of my children?" At once everyone here looked at me and there were so many questions on their minds.


"Woy, we're still school times" Nera still doesn't accept with this.


"Yes, but what's wrong if I know your parents, who knows if I can have your blessing. It's not in vain that I love you! Ahaha!" I unintentionally laughed while holding my knee in front of my family especially Dad who was immediately astonished.


I who realized in a strange look by my father immediately silent.


"Ouch! Repot this later."


"Why the hell?"


"So morning Mom forbade me to date on Dad's orders, now you're seeing them."


"Why indeed?"


"Why do you keep asking, why again? I'll be outraged later, you don't know my father if talking can't be denied!"


"But you don't have another man, do you?"


"No, you're crazy!" Nera still did not realize that if this debate was heard by my family and family, they all held back my father's laughter until he held his stomach. Eli took a video.


"Yes, I'm going to sleep at night. Tomorrow I'll be tired" Nera's tone has been low.


"Excite ya! Don't look for another man."


"Not the spirit of go national instead look for other men. Just watch out you're talking weirdly to my parents, I'll bury you alive."


"Yes, but don't look for another man."


"Yes, yeah."


"Favoured assalamualaikum."


"Wa'alaikumsalam" after Nera answered my greetings, I immediately turned it off. I forgot if Ms. Sari or the others wanted to talk again.


"Sorry Mom, I turned it off" I returned Miss Sari's phone.


"It's okay."


"So fix yeah, you guys got this matchmaking" my dad made sure.


"It is accepted, Dad."


"So no pretentious, try to accept from earlier we have finished our event."


"Lagian Daddy calls him Tera, yeah I don't want to. His parents called him Nera. It's foreign to me."


"Yes, it's just Dad calling you that, your Mom and Sister are following along" Dad explained.


I took a long breath. "Yes, that's it."


After eating Dad chatted with Mr. Abdul outside while enjoying the night air. My sister and Mom helped Miss Sari clean up the leftovers. I fell on the couch while waiting for Mom to finish.


I'm so tired today.


Thank God, I hope I'm not wrong in my decision this time. Household is a long-term thing, hopefully I can be the captain.


It was ten o'clock and thirty-five minutes, we withdrew from Nera's house.
