The Story of the Children of the Juragan
121. Sleek
"May I speak for a while" said Marquez, and all directions of view of the two families were on him.
"Please, Marq. Seriously it looks." said papa Reyhan accompanied by a small oddity.
"Yes, because this concerns the future of two people." Marquez replied again.
Everyone looked at each other with astonished faces.
"Who do you mean?" papa Reyhan still did not know about the direction of Marquez's talks. Because he had not known for a long time that Wulan ever approached his son.
"Does your son already have, girlfriend?" marquez said carefully, but made Salman choked again.
The young man grabbed and finished his drink.
"My son never dated. But when it comes to women of choice, I don't know. Salman, maybe you can answer Marquez's question." papa Reyhan turned to his son again.
I don't know why Salman is getting nervous about asking such questions.
Let alone Wulan, his face was instantly deathly pale. In his heart he prayed that Salman may not have the woman of his dreams.
Though a few months ago away from him, Wulan had dashed his hopes of getting Salman's heart.
The woman also did not know why her heart could change.
"Sa_I don't have a woman like I meant."
The Wulan family immediately breathed a sigh of relief at the young man's confession. They used to wish Salman and Wulan were not united, but now they hope otherwise.
"Om used to dislike you even though he had never met you at all, to send him all the way here.
But it turns out that destiny says something else. Even though om had sent him here, he and his parents decided to move on.
At first he was very disappointed, and he found out why he decided such a big thing.
And it turns out they follow exactly what they do. Maybe all this is too soon, but if God wills, we can only go through.
For the umpteenth time Salman choked. Somehow the dinner that should be filling and fun, even make it like a grave. With its horror atmosphere.
"My daughter's parents were willing to make a big sacrifice for her parents. And now om also wants to sacrifice for him, by asking you for daughter om. If you don't have a dream woman yet, will you marry a daughter."
This time Wulan and Salman again choked together.
"It looks like you guys are going to be a compatible couple. Because since then it has continued to choke simultaneously." chuckled Marquez, who was followed by the others.
"Daddy." lirih Wulan resisted embarrassment, although in fact he also wanted if Salman asked him.
They are anxiously awaiting answers from Salman.
"Jawab Salman. Whatever your decision, in shaa Allah, your father will support." said papa Reyhan, mama Laura was also seen nodding.
Salman remained silent for a few minutes. It all felt too fast for him. But if he stall for time, fear that later Wulan will not respect him.
Because everything in front of him is too inversely proportional. Wulan who always chased after him, now looks cute.
Salman recalled the ever-present Wulan in his dreams.
"Sa_I don't want to accept this offer."
There was disappointment on the faces of both families when they heard Salman's reply. Wulan also looked down lethargic. For the umpteenth time he felt very embarrassed to be rejected by Salman.
Salman who could see the sadness on Wulan's face again continued his words.
"Because it is unethical if women who ask for men. Though Umm Khadijah never did that." Salman paused his words and took a deep breath.
"So from that, I'd better propose to princess om to be my wife."
All were shocked to hear Salman's words. Wulan who had looked down now looked up at Salman with round eyes, and her heart was beating faster.
