Maira sits right between her mom and dad. Maira did not dare to raise her face, to be honest at this moment she was embarrassed. Papa now grabbed Maira's hand and looked at her face.
" son, Fardhan and his family came here to propose to you. How, did you accept his proposal ?" ask papa
" bismilbornrahmanirrahiim, God willing Mai accepted !" maira answered with complete confidence
alhamdulillah said all in unison
After hearing Maira's reply, now Mama Fardhan pairing the ring on Maira's ring finger. Everyone seemed to be smiling happily looking at him. After the ring, Fardhan invites Maira to chat outside while the parents are busy talking about the month and the wedding date for his daughter's son. Maira invites Fardhan to sit on the front porch of her house.
" Mai." call Fardhan.
" yes, what's up ?" maira asked and turned to look at Fardhan
" you're beautiful !" fardhan's words made Maira's cheeks red
" the time ?" maira asked with embarrassment
" yes, you are beautiful ! oh yeah, what about your forehead ?" asked Fardhan while looking at Maira
" thank God, it's better !" ja2ab Maira with her sweet smile
" but why is it still wrapped in Mai's bandage ? didn't you say you were just a clerk ?" ask Fardhan curiously
" the wound is big ! so it still can't be taken off the bandage !" answer Maira
" big ? you said it was just a stick, but how can it be big anyway ? how big is the wound ?" ask Fardhan
"just three stitches !" lirih Maira's
" three stitches ? you said three stitches Mai ?" asked Fardhan to confirm the truth of Maira's words, Maira just nodded her head
" astaghfirullahaladziim" said Fardhan as he rubbed his face rough, while Maira silently bowed
" Mai, beat me up ! you're my heart frankly, no matter what happens to you, I need to know. Let yesterday's events be a lesson to you, but from now on I ask you to always be honest with me. Now that I'm your fiancee, I'm your future husband, so I deserve to know what happened to you. do you understand ?" obviously Fardhan while looking seriously at Maira's face which was still downcast
" yes, sorry !" lirih Maira's
" i hope you can open up to me Mai !" fardhan said slowly
" sorry !" a word Maira could speak
" let's go, let's talk about something else !" fardhan
" Mai, if our parents are going to marry us in the near future what do you think ?" ask Fardhan
" actually if according to Mai's own view, it's better mas ! because at least we can avoid slander. You know for yourself, right, how is life in this day and age ? I'm just afraid that we're doing a khilaf which is sure to be a sin !" maira replied calmly
" yes too ! are you ready to get married ?" ask Fardhan
" ready not ready to be ready to be ready, married now or later is the same ! but should not all good things be in motion ?" maira's successful question made Fardhan develop his smile
" i'm glad to hear your answer !" fardhan
While in the living room, papa Salman was in talks with om and mama Fardhan regarding the date of the wedding.
" what if we just marry both of them in a month ?" ask mama Fardhan
" but is that one month time enough to take care of everything for the wedding ?" ask uncle
" god willing enough sir, ma'am ! " reply to papa Salman calmly
" well, so the date of the next month is her wedding day !" said uncle make sure
" yes, I hope this wedding plan goes well !" father Salman said
" aamiin !" say everything in the room
the two families have agreed to marry Fardhan and Maira next month, precisely on August one. If asked why August ? the answer is because both were born in the same month, only different dates. Soon Fardhan and Maira rejoin the family.
" let me deliver !" father Salman said
" look at Fardhan, Maira, we all agreed to marry you on August one ! how, do you guys mind ?" ask papa
" no !" replied Fardhan and Maira in a compact manner that made all the family smile happily
" cie, who wants to marry, compact really !" goda Azka
" what the hell is bang !" maira said while bowing her face reddened in embarrassment
" sorry sir, ma'am, it's getting late. We also have to return to Sumatra soon, because we still have to finish some work.I'm sorry we have been troublesome, and for the preparation of the wedding later we contact the father and mother. For that we now pay back, assalamualaikum "uncle said
" waalaikumsalaam warahmatullah" replied father Salman and family
Fardhan and his family returned to Fardhan's house, while father Salman and his family still did not move from their seats.
"do you mind if Mai gets married in a month ?" ask papa Salman
" Mai is so sure pa ! marrying for another month is better, so that Mai and Fardhan do not fall into sin" Maira replied
" favour it if you are sure, papa just does not want you to accept this marriage because you have to. But now papa is relieved after hearing your answer !" papa said as he hugged Maira
The day now changed with night, the gusts of the night wind made Azka's hair move. He was dissolved in his own mind until he did not realize that Nisa had been standing next to him for a few minutes.
" mas "call Nisa
Azka did not listen to Nisa's call because she was still busy with her daydream
" your ! why are you ?" tanya Maira now embraces Azka from b3lakang to make Azka aware of her daydream
" m not what, baby ! what's up ?" Azka asked Nisa
" from now on I was daydreaming so much that I didn't pay attention to my side ! say what's wrong ?" nisa asked still in a position to hug her husband
" mas only think about Maira. You know yourself not a woman should according to what her husband said later if she was married ! mas can not imagine if after marriage later Maira will leave this house. Mas worried, Mai it can't be far from mama and papa !" azka
" i know you, but a wife is obligated to obey her husband as long as it is in the good. We can't do anything but wish Maira the best !" said Nisa
" mas "call spoiled nisa
" what's dear ?" azka asked as she turned around and hugged Nisa
" mas, like eating a good pempek !" nisa said while imagining it
" do you want ?" asked Azka, while Nisa just nodded
" all right, let's go now find the pempek seller !" azka
Azka picks up her jacket and car keys first, while Nisa is choosing her jacket.
" dear, come on ! " take Azka
" let's go !" nisa said with her spirit
Azka and Nisa came out of her room. Maira saw Azka and Nisa came out and asked

" brother wants to find a pempek ! you want ?" ask Azka
" wiiiih, if in buyin mah will not refuse bang "maira replied with a happy smile

" aish, brother mah ! do not be busy in the office ! so the hawker place doesn't know !" said Maira
" yee, this is all because you also do not want to enter the company. It was a busy man !" answer Azka
" yes, brother and sister wait for me in the car. I'm pointing the place out so don't get it wrong !" maira said then sped up her steps towards the room
