WEDLOCK
Proposal

"Known... This IS ANINDIYA ANASTASYA KAMIL".

Anin immediately turned to look at Yusuf who looked back at him with a charismatic smile that was ready to kill the nerves of shame every woman who saw him because she did not want even a second to lose the smile. He memorized the long name of Anin.

It's Anin...

Mas Yusuf is your superior.It is only natural that he knows and happens to want a long name loe...

Anin did not know why she chose to speak in her heart. But Joseph introduced Anin as his future wife before his family. The boisterous voice of gratitude from the family seemed to echo. Anin doesn't know what to do. He immediately nodded with the family who looked very warm while greeting one by one people in the living room. And especially for the man who bore an absolute resemblance to Joseph, Anin kissed the back of the hand.

"Waahhh. That's why I don't want to mate, I already have my own beautiful choice that kog".

Once again, Anin felt like her heart was jumping out of place. But on the other hand there is a sense of pleasure, if it turns out Yusuf memillihnya as a prospective wife.

But why am I the one who's his future wife??

Didn't Mas Yusuf already have his own candidate who had long been engaged??

That thought still stuck in Anin's brain. Some time ago, Joseph said he was not married. But not married does not mean breaking up from his fiancee dong. Now she must be confused with the event of her introduction as the future wife of Joseph. The person who just returned in his life who managed to make a lot of surprises. Surprised that Joseph was not married, many changes in the nature of Joseph were difficult to catch by Anin and now Joseph made him as a prospective life partner.

What kind of fate is this, O God...

***

Anin still did not understand what Joseph was doing now. Introducing himself as his future wife in front of his parents and brothers while he himself was never asked once about this from Joseph himself.

"Known Anin, who is at the end of it is called Ms Farida. He's my oldest brother. Next to her was Mas Rizal, her husband. Trus there is Mas Didit her husband Ma'am May. This is Maman's husband Ifa.."

"Uncle?? Loe recognizes brother-in-law Loe using Maman's name. Please please, Mas. Loe hasn't changed. It's free to go to Germany but if you call me rich it is".

The grumbling man whom Joseph introduced as Maman did not accept what Joseph had told Anin.

Everyone laughed at the protest from Maman. Although actually Anin did not understand too much, but he also laughed because he felt funny with his name Maman.

"HHAHAHAHA.. trus loe asked to know how??"

Joseph could not stop his laughter. She will always tease Maman when they meet.

"LUQMAN FAHRI, ibc. But call Luqman. Don't be afraid of what Joseph said".

Owhhh..

Joseph could have called Maman...

Anin just smiled holding back her laughter and it left Joseph slightly stunned. Joseph was always happy to see Anin's smile. Sincere, not made up.

"If this is Umi with Abi".

"Mr and Madame Dhyaksa".

Anin returned her smile. Although a little hesitant and stubborn, as much as possible he covered. He can also make sure that at this time his face must be very strange because he had to hide what he was feeling.

"Call us Abi and Umi as rich Yusuf called".

Said Abi which made Anin once again startled. What he really received in the Dhyaksa family. That fast.

"At some point you will also be part of the Dhyaksa family. Don't worry".

Imbuh Umi which certainly makes all prospective daughters-in-law will feel happy if the blessing of parents has been obtained. What is the blessing of parents??

"We've met before, but where is it...??"

Rizal feels he has met Anin. He's trying to crack his brain.

"Owh, you previously worked at the Dhyaksa Group company in Jakarta??"

Anin slightly twisted her brain and she was aghast in shock. So Dhyaksa Group, his company in Jakarta once belonged to this Dhyaksa family. Family of Joseph. But why does he only know that the owner is Adam Dhyaksa. The director had told him to become General Manager at the bankruptcy company that had just been purchased.

Yusuf was no less surprised, because Anin had been around his family all along. In his family-owned company.

"Maybe you don't remember, but at that time I myself had seen you presenting about a new project in Palembang".

And now Anin remembered already with Rizal's face. Back then, Rizal was in the front row with his director and he just thought that he was one of the shareholders of the Dhyaksa Group. But he still did not expect that the Dhyaksa Group was a company that one of its owners was the family of Yusuf. And it wasn't just Rizal who was there, it turned out that there was Didit and Luqman.

"Relax, there's no need to be so tense. We all know your track record..."

Didit joined the conversation between Rizal and Anin.

Yusuf who had listened earlier was only able to catch that Anin had worked in Dhyaksa Group. The company belongs to his extended family.

"And loe, Yusuf. You should've connected to what we're talking about".

Joseph just nodded his head even though he did not understand completely. Let it. He could ask Hendi this sometime.

"He works at our company, Mas??"

May asked her husband.

"Yes, he's been working with us. He was a workaholic, so he was moved to a bankruptcy company that was in solo for him really and the results are rich now. Just a year in the hold, there have been 2 big projects in Jogja the same in Malang".

Obviously Didit to his wife enthusiastically.

OOOHHH...

It was the only expression of everyone who was there, except Anin. He was glad that he was now praised in front of Joseph's family. But on the other hand, he was embarrassed if it was too exaggerated like before.

"Good partner dong..."

Tempted Farida while nudging the shoulders of her only younger brother. Joseph.

"Udah is beautiful, wear a hijab, it works well too. Kog do you want Anin to accept Yusuf??"

Ifa who was still carrying the baby was also following Joseph's teasing.

"Oh Ma'am, Mas, Sister... everything is... less handsome what try the only boy in this family?? Until Anata Dhyaksa's family is out of stock".

Joseph simply responded casually and made everyone laugh.

"If so, we have lunch first. Umi amiin first".

Umi headed to the kitchen. Everything is ready, but less prepared drinking water.

Anin who felt that she was a woman especially introduced as a prospective daughter-in-law in the family chose to move from her seat following Umi who was already in the kitchen. Everyone who was there immediately cheered what Anin did that made Anin's cheeks flushed.

"CIIIEEEEEEE...."

Cheer them in unison.

"Cieee, Umi, somebody's gonna help you with this. The ideal son-in-law, Umi".

Shouted Luqman from the living room and certainly can still be heard from the kitchen by Umi.

***

It is not difficult for Anin to find a kitchen in the house. Because for Anin, no matter how big the house, the kitchen was still in the back. He designed several houses for his father's projects. For sure it is still in the learning stage, because he himself does not have a basic in designing the house. He only found out about it when he saw his father's work several times.

Anin deftly helps Umi prepare food and drinks for lunch. Although Anin's life is mostly only done for work, but she never leaves her nature as a woman, which is not foreign if you have to deal with the kitchen.

Although it felt awkward at first, Anin tried to open the topic for the two of them. Anin did not like the awkward attitude like this time.

"Umi cooked all this??"

Anin still poured water every glass on the dining table.

"Who else?? Ifa again takes care of her son. May has also just come from Solo with her husband. If Farida, she also just came from her shop and came here to have lunch, he said".

That answer made Anin only able to nod. If rich gini, he can not continue the question because there is no feedback from Umi.

"How many people do you work in Jakarta, son?? Rizal's power is really amazed by your performance??"

Finally Umi gives feedback for Anin.

"3 years, Umi. used up that Anin in moving to Solo".

"Are you welcome at the move to Solo??"

"Yes, at first I didn't accept it. You think, Anin can not yes meet the expectations of the company. But after being thought again, meningan emang in Solo aja. More than parents".

It turned out that a bunch of people who were still in the living room had already headed to the dining room which must have made some commotion. They also look for seats in accordance with their usual position. As for Anin, she did not know which side to sit next to. But, Joseph immediately pulled Anin's arm slowly and told her to sit next to him. It made everyone look at the impromptu couple.

They chat small style warm family while eating a menu that for Anin is like a party. Yusuf and Luqman were still debating arguments that were not clear the problem made all who heard could only laugh happily, including Anin.

After eating, Yusuf invited Anin to go home to Solo. This time, I went back to Solo. But Anin refused to go home immediately. At least he helped wash the dirty dishes.

"You go home, ma'am. Yes, the first time I met was asked to wash dishes. Later Umi so lost his son-in-law candidate again".

Ifa's temptation to convince Anin to just go home.

"It is not our intention to make ngusir you know, but certainly in Solo a lot of work. Then there is Bi Ratna who usually helps Umi clean up the house".

Abi tries to convince Anin who looks still bad if she just comes home. But finally, Anin according to also. Besides, there are still a lot of files that he should have taken care of earlier. But all of his schedules went awry due to an unexpected meeting today.

Anin immediately crucified all the residents of the house there. Starting from Abi, Umi, Farida, May, Didit, Rizal, Luqman and Ifa. Not to forget he also greeted Bi Ratna who happened to be in front of the house was watering flowers that made all the family of Joseph who saw him become more happy with Anin.

"When to play again. Don't kapok".

Message Umi while stroking Anin's shoulder.

Anin smiled back. He doesn't know if he's happy or how. To this day, he did not know how to behave. His feelings are too mixed.

"Assalamualaikum..."

Greetings Anin while waving from inside the car with the open glass.

Joseph who saw him just smiled. He did not expect, even though Anin looks awkward in front of his family, but at least in his eyes, Anin tried to blend in with his family. Most importantly, Anin connected with the topic of conversation from his family. And his family also looks happy with the arrival of Anin. Seen from Abi who tried to invite Anin to speak several times.

But now what was seen from the look in Anin's eyes was a curious look. Joseph understood this condition. It's as if he didn't just kidnap Anin and bring her home.

"Finally thank you, because you held all your questions up until here. I'll explain everything. But please, don't cut it until I'm done".

Anin only let out a rough sigh and did not give any response. Joseph thought Anin agreed to what he said.

"Honestly, my family's been asking me too many times when I'm getting married. Especially Umi and Abi. Even yesterday at the same reunion with the campus, they also asked the same thing".

"Trus is related to me what, mas?? Mas Yusuf never..."

"That's not to be cut, I'm not done yet..."

Joseph pulled his car over. He wanted to talk seriously with Anin.

"I know you're not a couple either. More precisely you are not married, because at this time I also do not know whether you have a boyfriend or not. The one in your profile says that you are not married. So automatically this could be a chance for me before the yellow janur curves".

"And I recognize you as a future wife, it's no joke. I really want you to be my wife. You just did not see Umi's expression when you saw you for the first time and when you also tried to help Umi make lunch. Usually Umi will refuse if the help comes from others, but it is different from you. Umi's gonna take it..."

"But it could be, Umi was being rich because Umi did not want to abuse me. Umi didn't want to make me ashamed because my help was rejected".

Anin was still trying to evade all that Joseph had explained. He tried to think of all the negative things that could have happened.

"Emang I can not be different where the original smile belongs to Umi same forced smile from Umi?? I'm Umi's son for 27 years. I seem to know more about Umi's feelings for you than you do".

It was clearly Joseph who made Anin unable to speak his rebuttal anymore.

Again Anin could only look into the eyes of Joseph who was now looking at him as well. Anin did not expect that she would be in this close position to Joseph. Seen from the radiance of Joseph's eyes, indeed he did not look playful with his words.

"Now you can get out your opinion. Or all the questions you've wanted to ask since. I will try to answer everything honestly. But please, you accept my offer this time. Be wife".

Joseph resigned with what Anin would decide. But he also could not accept the rejection from Anin. He did not want to disappoint his parents again.

"I'll try, ma'am. I received an offer from Mas Yusuf".

At this moment, Joseph wanted to embrace Anin. But she knew that Anin was not halal for her yet. He finally decided to drive his car back.

"Now there is no love, but I will try to be the best husband when we get married".

The word has not been love seems to have succeeded in making Anin's heart move from its place. Is the decision right to accept the proposal(??) from Yusuf. But he himself is now in the same position as Joseph. Always chasing questions about marriage. Maybe it was time for her to decide to get married. Even if the choice is now a crazy choice.

Anin tried to stare at the view from behind the glass of the car next to her and without feeling she had closed her eyes. I don't know why today he felt more tired as well as happy. No expression could describe what he was feeling right now.

What is Joseph thinking now??

Why is he suddenly married??

Why should I??

Inner Anin with all the questions that only she was able to speak for herself.

***

After the incident Anin was introduced to Joseph's family. Anin tried to be at least as much as she met the person who had proposed to her impromptu. Meeting Joseph like this morning was able to make him heart gymnastics, especially if he met face to face with his person. And Anin tries to control her emotions so as not to talk anything to Franda about what happened between her and Joseph.

Joseph himself had not contacted him since the incident a few days ago. What if now he regretted what he had said to Anin. Really this also makes Anin curious half dead. Half-dead he tried to positive thinking if the office is currently busy with the business of projects that drain energy and mind. But half-dead too, Anin was curious about what Joseph was thinking now. What time was he was wrong to take medicine, until he proposed to Anin like that.

Not usually Anin daydreams in her work. Actually Anin had already finished the report that she should have finished yesterday. But now he was busy with the ballpoint pen in his hand.

"Woi, ngalamun. What the hell. Dong stories".

Franda nylonong entered Anin's room because she knocked on the door, but Anin did not answer immediately.

"What a story. There's nothing to tell the story either. Emang loe has finished loe's cooperation?".

Anin was still playing her ballpoint pen and only stared at Franda once.

"Udah, it's the weekend. I was about to go home. But loe ngalamun from earlier. Is the report finished??"

"Loe why the hell?"

Franda. Franda felt there was something strange with his boss and his best friend. Usually, if his best friend has problems especially if it is related to his love life, he will be the number one person where Anin tells everything he feels.

"Papa NGO. I just thought of something".

"Trus something that makes you think that's what?? If I can help, I will try to help. Loe doesn't macem think of anything until now".

Franda knew full well that Anin was indeed someone who thought things over seriously especially if it had anything to do with her life. However, Anin was also not a person who thought too much. Because for Anin, there were still many things she had to think about. And thinking about one thing for a long time is just a waste of precious time.

"If you don't want to tell a story right now, don't papa. But don't think too much. If most think it even becomes jammed in your mind".

Franda finally gave up. Maybe for now, Anin was not willing to share what she felt.

"But don't forget to also give the report to Mr. Joseph. Last afternoon he actually asked for his report, but because you are rich so I said that you are not feeling well".

DEEEGGG....

Hearing the name 'Yusuf' alone was able to make him deg-degan plus now he had to submit his report.

"Loe can't anterin report to Mr. Joseph?? I also want to go home. My body is tired of everything".

"Jude, if you want that. Actually, Mr. Yusuf said that if he could report his own loe nganter. But you're really sick. I'll tell you that you're coming home spit".

"OK.. thank you, you are the best friend I can andelin".

Anin submitted her report and immediately left Franda. He knew that he should not have shied away from Joseph. But for now, that might be for the best. He really did not understand what Joseph said yesterday. His brain kept turning to find the right reason to convince himself of his decision to accept Joseph's proposal.

***

This week, Anin decided to sleep in her parents' house which is actually a complex with her house only in a few alleys. I don't know why he was so confused by the room he had left after he worked in Jakarta and now he has his own home.

As usual, after the dawn prayer, Anin decided to go back to sleep. Work makes it only sleep an average of 6 hours per day. Sometimes he has to be willing to sleep on the sofa in his study or in his office when his work is too much.

Hour 8.00..

Anin had woken up an hour ago, but she was still reluctant to get up from her soft mattress.

"Mbak.. wake up mbak. there are guests..."

The mother tried to wake up the comfortable Anin with the bolster she still held.

"Ehhhmm??"

"There are guests. Meningan Mbak Anin hunted shower, and beautiful alike do not forget to wear hijab. Guys guy. Don't be long ago mbak..."

Message the Mother who has left before clarifying who the guest boy who made her should get ready in the morning today. It's too early for Anin for Sunday. With ogah-ogahan he immediately headed for the bathroom next to his room. Her house and her parents' house both do not have a bathroom in, because for the 2 women, Anin and her mother, the bathroom inside was not as comfortable as if the bathroom was separate.

After the bath, Anin tried to sweep a little make-up onto her face. He also chose peach-colored lipstick to make it more natural. Wear clothes in his house. At first he only wanted to wear a T-shirt during his college, but if the mother had ordered for a beautiful dance, usually it was marked that the show was formal.

Formal show?? Anin realized that the show was formal. What events on gini rich sunday?? Do not let this just an insignificant event that successfully disrupts his long sleep.

Wearing a pastel green shirt and pants skinny fabric cream color. Coupled with a motif hijab that has a green color older than his shirt. Simple but that's how Anin dresses. Because Anin always remembered every time she wanted to wear a double-double clothes in the style of hijab today only added to the pile of laundry more and more.

Anin immediately descended from her room towards the kitchen looking for her mother. But how surprised when he saw Joseph with his family who this time only seen Abi, Umi and Rizal who was beside Joseph. What is this show. Plus there are some definite parcels of it from Joseph.

"Kok ngalamun anyway. Get on there, meet your boss..."

Suddenly the voice of Mother was behind Anin who was immediately able to make Anin keget.

"Come..."

Anin with slow steps walked towards the living room. In his heart he was ashamed because in this way, Joseph automatically knew his bad habits at this time. But on the other hand he was also curious about the intention of Joseph coming to his parents' house. Why Joseph could know his parents' house. If the reason is because of the profile of office employees, it can be made sure it is not possible. Because Anin filled out her personal data with her home address now instead of her parents' home address.

*Flashback On

TTTIIIINGGG... TTTTOOONNGGG'S CHAT...

"Assynoltom..."

Already 3 times Joseph pressed the bell near the fence of the house in front of him now. 3 times also he said hello by raising several octaves from his normal voice. But no one answered. He had also made sure that the house he came to now was Anin's. But now, the house feels uninhabited.

"Yusuf, is this really Anin's house??"

Rizal asked curiously who was still sitting in the driving seat.

"Sister really..."

Joseph answered, who is also less certain. But after looking at the number of his house, it was clear that the house in front of him now was indeed Anin's house. After all, he had sent his spies to confirm Anin's house before he himself came here. And judging from the photos of the house sent from his man who helped strengthen his argument at this time.

"You ask the people around here, Joseph. There's no harm in mastiin anymore".

This time, he listened to what Uminya said. Than he's like a madman poking people's house bells. It just so happened that someone was running around in the morning who happened to be passing by.

"Sorry Mas. but do not know where the owner of the house is??"

Joseph asked, pointing to Anin's house.

The man probed a little with Joseph's face. He was familiar with the face of the person before him now, but for now he could not remember. The guy in front of him now even though he is familiar still he has a face so handsome that makes him a little inferior.

"That house?? Ma'am Anin mah was at home from earlier. What's the matter with my sister??"

The man was Arwi. He was a little surprised, why this cute level one guy asked his brother's house. But he's still conscious. The proof, he still brings his courtesy to answer questions from strangers.

After expressing his intentions and goals to Arwi who turns out to be his sister-in-law soon. Joseph immediately asked Arwi to take him and his family to Anin's parents' house. And Arwi, who was still in heavy contact with Joseph, finally delivered Joseph to his house. When I get home, all the questions will be answered.

*Flashback Off

"Mom..."

"Pig..."

"Mas Rizal's..."

Anin crucified all of them one by one, including Joseph. And especially for Umi and Abi, he also kissed the backs of the hands of the parents who had considered him a son-in-law.

"I'm sorry, Anin boy. Because we're part of here so disrupt the break. Are you that good??"

Umi seemed really worried about Anin's health, because Yusuf said that Anin was sick.

"Ahhhh. ngga papa kog Umi. At least just a pegel".

Anin tried to cover up with her smile. He did not want to make Umi worry about his actual state of being fine. He just felt tired of the added thought of what had just happened in his life that added to his mind.

"I'm sorry, sir, Buk.. There is only a rich gini.padahal already far from Jogja".

Said Mother who felt bad, because it only provides makeshift treats.

"Anin didn't say that today his new director will come..."

"Ngga papa kog, Buk. yesterday we also prepared food for Anin when he was in Jogja is also common".

"Ohhh, , so has Anin ever played to Jogja??"

The mother who looked at Anin with a lightning gaze. During this time, Anin had never covered anything from her because Anin was not the type of person who could lie. Especially lying to your mother.

After an exciting conversation between the parents plus Joseph and Rizal that looks exciting. It was time for Abi to speak out about their arrival at Anin's family home. While Anin had just been silent, not knowing where to join the conversation from. Not the type that can not adapt quickly in the environment, but this time the atmosphere feels different.

"Sorry before, I am not the type of person who likes to make small talk like Javanese in general..."

Abi looks nervous, because only this time he has to apply for a prospective partner for his son. Usually, he is the one who hears these words from the parents of his son-in-law. Understandably, Joseph was the only son of four brothers. Joseph himself had two older sisters and one younger sister. And everyone is married. That is why he is constantly urged to get married. The urge grew worse when his sister stepped on him and had a 3-month-old child.

"Please continue. We are also not the type of people who bring too much Javanese customs in our family".

Anin's father tried to melt the atmosphere. Suryanda Kamil's.

"We are here to ask Mr. Surya's son-in-law to be our daughter-in-law. Being the wife of my son. Joseph".

The words of Abi suddenly make Mother can not cover what is in her mind.

"Sorry to interrupt before. Did you say that Yusuf's son is your third son??"

"Yes mom. What's the matter??"

Umi seemed curious about the purpose of the question.

"But for this application event, it may have to be delayed first. Or rather, just cancel it".

Everyone was shocked. Including Abi and Anin who did not expect that Mother would say this blatantly.

Is it because of this weird myth????

Inner Anin while holding shame. Because what is rejected now is not just anyone. He is Joseph. The one who has the highest power in his office today. Maybe even he is a person who has even higher power that Anin had not imagined. And maybe tomorrow, could be his last day at work. Get ready to be 'PHK IMPAKAN'.
