"Assynoltom..."
"Greetings waalaikum!"
Amelia walked shyly behind Lukman.
His heart is pounding. Especially after Lukman parked his motorbike into the parking lot of a very large and magnificent house.
Amelia finds out that Lukman is the son of a rich man.
"Aiii, who's this pretty girl?"
Amelia forgot to tidy up her chaotic makeup due to the daily half around the market.
He tried to sniff his body inquisitive and anxious if his body released the aroma of sweat that is not pleasant because it runs out of the market.
Geez, Amel... Why is this stupid?! You're from the market. Automatically your face sweaty and oily. The body is also certainly full of various smells in the market. Duh Gusti's! How's this? Why did not stop by the public toilet to clean your face and make up?
Amelia was very nervous when greeting one by one members of the Lukman family.
"Amelia just got home from the market, Grandma. Lukman kidnaps without saying anything. That's why she's so nervous about meeting Grandma, Mama and Papa!"
Amelia smiled. Lukman immediately handle so that the turmoil of his heart a little treated.
"Good dong. Grandma prefers girls as they are. I like playing in the market. Especially the traditional market. Not a beautiful woman, fragrant fragrance and cover her face with glamor. Hehe... Here's my son, near Grandma!"
Amel blushed. Sit close in shame.
She is not a teenage girl. But, this situation seemed to bring him to a thrilling condition.
Where he was introduced by a man who claimed to be a lover to his family members.
Amelia remembered. Eleven years ago when Solehudin took her to her ex-husband's house.
"Oiya, dong's introduction first. Hehehe.. Let us know his name too, Brother!" Diana Lukman's sister number one tries to interact with Amelia.
"Oh, meet Amel. Her full name is Amelia. He's 31 years old. A catering entrepreneur."
"Not a businessman, just a culinary trade. Hehehe.." between Amel reciting Lukman's words.
Everyone smiled, seeing how compact Lukman was in accompanying Amelia who had been groggy before this unusual situation.
Lukman's outdoor living room and large, super-padded sofa seat warms the hearts of all the family members who gather there. An elderly woman sat on it with a handsome, dignified middle-aged man sitting on the side. While others who are young are casually fluttering on the floor covered in expensive thick tapestries, of course.
Amelia felt like there was a domestic helper job interview interaction but at the home of a wealthy man who was kind and easy-going.
"Amel? Amelia?"
"Ah yes, Grandma?"
"Where are you real? West, east or central java? Or are they Betawi? Hehe..."
"O_kampung, Grandma!"
"Surely Lukman's Amel is not a scarecrow, Grandma!"
Everyone laughed at Lukman's jokes. Makes Amelia more nervous and feel distant.
"Anyone, we don't matter. We are happy, Lukman finally brought the woman he likes. All this time, this boy was closed to matters of the heart. Makes us really worried, Mel?!"
Amelia. Bimo politely included himself in the conversation.
"But.., my age is two years older than Lukman!" amelia murmured with a downcast face reddened.
"Why indeed? Is there a problem with age? She married her father Bimo, four years her senior. Widow of two children married to a bachelor. Hows it? Cool right? Hehe... Matters of soul, all are the provisions of God. We don't know what our soul mate looks like. How God sent it so amazingly. Aye right?"
Amelia swallowed her saliva.
His grandmother Lukman's story warms his heart.
Amelia's eyes rippled. It was so hard that I could no longer speak.
It turns out, the Lukman family is a really great family. Even super great.
Lukman, who had been staring at Amel's face without blinking, smiled sweetly as Amel turned towards him.
Bimo and Fanny also looked at each other with eyes filled with happiness.
Has Lukman set everything up? For the sake of being able to draw my sympathies? Ls i? Masa'yeah a rich man's son, trying to get his Grandmother in front of his parents to tell him things that seemed to be on my side? A widow who divorced her husband, a poor widow who only had education until junior high? Ls i? I'm so precious in Lukman's eyes? Until she wants to marry me ? Really this? In the past, my soul mate was just a simple man who was a level higher than me. Until we were married ten years and then.divorced because of the choice of polygamy that was not in place.
"So, you guys aren't actually? Brother Lukman is in the middle of a exploration?! Waah, have to hold on Amel, brother! Don't you saggy! Hehe..."
Amelia smiled with her head down.
She was embarrassed, but wanted to.
He wanted to, but hesitated.
To be honest, his little heart was felt also because the sincere kindness of Lukman wholeheartedly always helped Amelia in every tribulation.
But Amelia hesitates and fears that Lukman's family will oppose him. Because actually getting married is not just binding two human beings. But there is also a family behind them.
For a moment Amel was relieved and pleased.
"Amelia.., come with Mama!"
Amelia looked up at his face.
Fanny, Lukman's mom took him to the room.
"Here!"
Of course Amelia was embarrassed to walk into Fanny's room because she felt disrespectful.
"I'm waiting for you outside!" amel said with a stammering voice.
"Here ah!" of course Fanny is anxious and pulls Amel's fingers into her room without hesitation.
"Here!"
Fanny patted her bed foam mattress. Code for Amelia to sit with him who is opening the family photo album sheet.
"See this! This is Lukman, our first son!"
Amelia was stunned, her eyes staring softly at the adorable picture of the tiny baby.
"He was sweet from the time he was a baby. Very sweet because the late Mama Mama prefers to dress Lukman with baby girl supplies. Mom really wants to have a granddaughter. Hhh..." Fanny breathed. Sumpat Amel reacted by gently rubbing the back of Fanny's hand.
"You still want to hear Mama's story?"
Amelia nodded.
"Lukman is like a baby girl when he is a boy. That was our first mistake. Our second mistake was not allowing him to interact with his boy friends when he was a toddler. So Lukman was only friends with us women other than his Papa who at that time often traveled out of town. At that time, Mas Bimo's family, was still far from us because, we were married without their blessing. First, then..."
"Grandmother betrothed Bimo married a Medan person who was the son of his friend Grandpa rather than marry Bimo to Fanny."
Fanny and Amelia turned towards the door. His grandmother Lukman stood up with a smile.
"Mother..."
"Tell me everything. I'm happy, you want to be open to your son-in-law."
"Hehehe... Here, Mom! Fanny just wants Amelia to know Lukman's real sad life story! It all started with our mistake in educating her."
Amelia was curious. Fanny's story makes Amel listen seriously to the continuation.
