You Take Me Off, At My Level
wedded

"Come, first drink the tea son Rizal" Adis' mother invited kindly.

"Thank you, ma'am," replied Rizal no less bull

"Sorry there's no city food, son, here's just this cake available"

"It is precisely here that the vacation that city people like me and Mia bu want, almost every day he talks back home" replied Rizal slightly chuckled

"Yes ma'am, she always talks about the village "sahut Adis

Hearing the arrival of Adis and a man many of their extended families came, because the news of Adis widow was almost spread throughout the village by Sinta's mother.

Dita brought out some traditional cakes typical of their village and fried bananas to accompany the tea happened to be a little cold this afternoon.

"Mas Rizal has known Adis for a long time?" Ask a distant family Adis, who happens to be next door neighbors of his house.

Rizal nodded with a smile.

"One job with Adis?"

"Yes sir, it just so happens Adis works under my auspices" Rizal replied politely

"Where does Mas Rizal work?" Replace a skinny father asking.

"I work in property and heavy equipment in a company Mr." replied Rizal again

"So Adis also works there?"

Rizal just nodded small.

"Not Adis-"

"Widow!! yes Adis has been divorced from her husband long ago and we know after Adis separated his not good intentions should not be delayed sir, moreover, Adis and I almost met every day and were afraid to cause slander" replied Rizal to make the skinny man nodding.

"For Nak Rizal's own family how?" ask pakde Adis

"God willing to agree sir" replied Rizal made Adis speechless, why so his impression of his return this became a proposal.

"Son Rizal let's sleep in Pakdhe's house. Let's not get slander. You're not husband and wife yet." Another Adis sir commented.

"Not that I don't want pakde,Mia can't if waking up doesn't see me" declined Rizal subtly

"then all this time?"

"I mean Rizal Mia should see her every day pakde, then Rizal mas to there, this is still late afternoon right" replied Adis straightened and nod by Adis pakde.

"Dis, maybe Rizal needs a break, prepare his room first" said Mr. Adis and was embraced Adis obediently

Adis who is already used to preparing all the needs of Rizal is no longer awkward to make her mother really sure if Adis and Rizal do have a relationship,his son far abroad must be there to take care of him, if indeed Rizal can take responsibility on Adis he is very grateful.

"Mas, bathe first, too late afternoon will be cold" Adis said and carried a sweet smile Rizal

Adis is not a woman of defiance, only once she says ask in exchange Adis calls directly meet her.

"Cold Mas?" asked Adis when he saw Rizal sitting on the porch of his house

"Lumayan, Where's Mia?"

"Inside again at ready to eat the same Eyangnya"

"Mas, is it true what you said earlier?" ask Adis

Adis just kept quiet and did not continue his words

"Mbak Adis, Rizal mas called Pakde Karwo" call Dita

Adis and Rizal sitting next to them were three old men who were known as Adis's close family.

"I heard you wanted to propose to Adis?" asked the white-bearded man

"Yes sirde" replied Rizal firmly

"If it has been steady and your choices do not change again we from the family will strongly agree, moreover, Adis a widow with one child will make her bad in the eyes of others if going to the city and to the hometown with a man" obviously the man named Karwo and his other members.

"For that we as Adis family can calm down after finishing the celebration tomorrow we ask you to hold a series wedding first in order to avoid slander" he continued to make Adis stunned

"Pakde, why so soon, all need the process of pakde" refuted Adis

"Dis, this is for your own good, we see you're so close that even Mia herself doesn't want to be separated from Nak Rizal,not that we forced Rizal Dis's son but this is more in terms of responsibility as a man let alone your status Widow, easily underestimated by others" explained Pakle Jono

Adis looked at Rizal, how could Rizal want to marry her so soon.

"Then I'm willing to pack, for his dowry I have not bought a ring" said Rizal

"No matter, son, there was a clear first take it sacred"

"Mass-out"

"Dis, believe me" cut Rizal to make Adis unable to wiggle anymore.

Not her run from Rizal's life but instead deepen her immersion in the life of this wealthy man, what about the Rizal family thought Adis

"Well, then tomorrow we will finish the Thanksgiving event, if we can contact your family Zal to be a witness" said the Adis Family made Rizal speechless.

The witness??? who will be the Witness there's no way he's contacting his papa and his mama.

"Sir, can we talk first?" ask Adis

"Like it's night, it's not good to see other residents, but it's time to rest and tonight Rizal is staying at the place of pakde, our wedding tomorrow directly right" replied Pakde Karwo.

***

Tonight Adis can not sleep as early as possible, his head is dizzy thinking about his wedding tomorrow, an impromptu wedding that was designed by his family, Rizal's family will approve all this Adis thought.

No other in the house next to Rizal also could not fall asleep because thinking about who the witness that he could bring tomorrow because this was also an important event for his, papa and his mama would obviously not be able to.

"Dis, are you asleep?" ask Rizal through his cell phone

"Not yet"

"I'm confused as to who will be his witness tomorrow"

"if you are confused at the time of cancellation, let me explain to my family that you are actually my master"

"Don't!!!! I really want to marry you dis" Rizal replied quickly

"But just confused who was the witness" continued Rizal

"Haikal...Will Haikal come tomorrow?" ask Rizal again

"I don't know mas" Adis replied again, because indeed he never established communication with Haikal his cousin's husband

"May tomorrow there be a clue to Dis" Rizal's message again but not in Adis' reply, maybe the prayer has fallen asleep.
