Your Uncle Is My Soul
Chapters. 8. Gathering

After talking to her future husband, Meylani initially thought she would not be able to fall asleep and would be awake until dawn. But, it turned out that just in a matter of minutes his eyelids were closed.

Meylani seemed to get immunity and sleeping pills after hearing the voice of Zaidan the future priest.

Away from that place, a man was initially busy once completing his remaining work before a two-week break after marriage. The aura of the look on his face instantly turned into a happy and radiant one.

Since about five years ago since the meeting of the two at the event of one of the alumni of their parents' best friend, the man saw Meylani who was like a princess who came down from kahyangan. From that day on he continued to pray that the two be united in the sacred bond of marriage.

But, about four months ago before the fasting month, both of their parents agreed to match the two. How happy and joyful to have such an open opportunity.

Zaidan began to investigate and secretly became a stalker who continued to follow Mey from behind him. But, Zaidan did not know at all who the figure of his girlfriend who will be his wife.

"Thank God I was so happy to hear his voice so soft, tomorrow what would he say to ask me to meet, but by the way the popsa cafe is where? I asked his sister, Kamil, now it's time to sleep so that tomorrow I'm not late to come," he muttered Zai while sending a chat message to Kamil his future sister-in-law.

The next day, Meylani asked her parents for permission. He had to lie about the reason he met with Zaidan his fiancee.

"Mama I say goodbye, well" he said Meylani after spending a bowl of chalk typical food Makassar which was deliberately asked to be made specifically for him happened to be a cousin of his mother came from the Palopo area.

"You don't be long, well, remember after you've met Nak Zaidan you immediately return home, don't wander indistinctly," she said Ms. Santi who was afraid if Melani did something strange out there.

But only a few steps of his feet stepped outwards he had to stop for a moment because he heard the words of his father.

"Mey you didn't forget your promise to father who wanted to meet Bhishma with Dad!" Mr. Zulkarnain stared intensely at his first daughter.

Mey was too late to forget the very important problem so happy she would meet Zaidan. It is as if two people who are drunk in love are about to meet. The sense of happiness, calm felt by Meylani was equally unconscious. He thought that if the pleasure that came to his heart was because happiness would break his relationship with Zaidan. Though it was only his mind, not necessarily Zai was willing to cancel his marriage.

"Sa-ya ti-dak lu-pa kok father, I will try to bring the bisma mas to face directly in front of him father," said Mey who panicked so stammered in talking.

"Yes Mey's father understood very well" said Mey who then walked out with lethargic footsteps as if she had not eaten all day.

With her face bowed in lethargy, Meylani continued to step her feet towards the exit of her house. Some of the people who were inside the room only saw and heard without anyone daring to comment in the slightest. They are too shy and reluctant to talk to the conversation between the father and son.

Ms. Santi saw her daughter's back moving away from her house on her motorcycle, "Dad I'm afraid what if Mey is reckless and runs away from here, what would we do if it was like that, we will definitely be very embarrassed" said Ms Santi who panicked and worried about her daughter's departure.

Mr. Zulkarnain smiled faintly in response to the words of his wife's mouth, "just trust me, you trust me, I'm sure my daughter won't be as determined as you fear Gunawan and Jamal Abdillah will continue to watch Mey's movements no matter what, I got the last word if Mey promised to meet Zaidan her future husband,I've warned Zaidan not to budge with Mey's request that he'll ask Zaidan to annul their marriage" Zulk said.

"Hopefully what we expect can happen according to the wishes of all of us, I couldn't possibly allow Mey to marry another man whose origins weren't clear let alone never seeing how the man's nose was, '" she wrote.

Mr. Zulkarnain left the lunch table. Her husband's brother-in-law stared at her brother's departure before speaking out all the words she harbored a few minutes ago.

"Sir why from the beginning of this matchmaking was not conveyed first to Mey, why should I ask her for approval? So that events like this do not happen in the future," said Miss Diana, her sister, Mr. Zulkarnain.

Ms. Santi turned her attention away from the stairs where her husband was now towards her sister-in-law.

"Diana did you see if Mey would agree to come back here if I told her that I was marrying her to a friend's father's son and was getting married? Surely that is unlikely to happen, Mey will definitely not go home and we will see Mey definitely fail to marry, so I with her father thought of the best way to accept the proposal in Meylani's absence, Meylani said, Mey is stubborn and only her father is able to soften and make Mey will not talk much and demand anymore" he explained Bu Santi.

"True, if Mey knew everything early would have continued to resist and would have likely tried to act recklessly, I knew the nature of the Zulk bang was exactly the same as Mey once abstained from changing it," it was Miss Diana.

"If I'm such a handsome man that I can't refuse, Aunt Ma'am Mey bego if maintaining her relationship with men is not clear compared to the established man, saucy, sholeh, kind and polite again it is the dream of all women," said Masitah his cousin Meylani while whipping eggs preparation to make various types of pastries and wet special for the party.

A few minutes later, though, Zaidan is already inside the famous Popsa cafe in the Makassar area which is cheap and compare with other cafes located not far from where there is the iconic Losari beach of Makassar.
