A Decision

The Arrival of the Waiting

It was time for the Bimo family to return to Mom's house. Mama, I and Widya are busy to make delicious dishes to welcome the arrival of the Bimo family. While Arif is sweeping the courtyard.

The Bimo family purposely came to talk about my wedding plans and Bimo.

Many foods are cooked today by the mother to welcome the arrival of the Bimo family. There are vegetable soup, sambal and lalapan, salted fish, tempe bacem, telor balado, anointing and others. Snacks and ice fruit are also available. No more watermelons, bananas and oranges.

Once mature, everything is neatly arranged on the table.

10.00 WIB hours

Bimo had already informed him that his family was on their way to his mother's house.

Me, Mama, Arif and Widya are waiting for their arrival. The kids are playing at home with their friends.

.

.

Half an hour later..

Bimo's car is coming. They all got out of the car. Abi, ummi, Audy, Harris and Grandpa Aryan took part in the show this time.

"Assynoltomodel.." Say everything!

"Girlwindsalam! Answer us all!

They all shake hands and then one by one enter the house and sit in the place that has been provided!

Widya put drinks and cookies on the table. Then let the Bimo family taste the dishes that have been provided

"Thank you mbak!" Grandpa Aryan. Parents of Abi.

Widya just nodded and smiled. Then he went back inside.

"Mom, this is Aryan's grandfather. Grandpa Bimo. Old man from Abi." Ummi speech.

"It's nice to meet Grandpa." Sahut.

Grandpa's eyes are looking for someone, maybe what he's looking for is me. Because we have never met!

Grandpa then said. "Where is Amanda my granddaughter's future wife?"

"I'm Manda, cake! It's good to see Aryan's grandfather."

"Beautiful, smart you choose, Bim!"

Bimo looked down embarrassed because grandfather praised him.

Aryan's grandfather could guess someone from his appearance alone. Even though we first met. And his guess was never wrong! That's the advantage of grandfather to date.

.

.

Abi started the conversation. "Bu Atika kinship thank you for a very warm welcome to all of us. We're here to ask and hear firsthand about Amanda's decision. Only then do we talk about its continuation."

"How's Manda?" Ask my mom and look at me.

"Abi, ummi and the extended family of Mas Bimo. I .. Amanda accepted Bimo's mas to be my husband."

"Alhamdulillah!" Answer simultaneously.

"Now we know that Manda has accepted Bimo to be her future husband! For the continuation of how mom and son Arif want how?" Said Abi.

Arif is the son of a surrogate father, after the father is gone. So Arif already holds all that responsibility.

Arif said out loud. "We and our family have talked about the wedding and agreed that the event will be held here. Most importantly the event Ijab Qabul run smoothly and wisdom."

"Sorry Rif, if mas Bimo and family have agreed to organize a reception in the building only. If Ijab Qabul's problem here is okay. So different days. Don't you think, bi?"

"Yes to Arif and Miss Atika! Like that! So for the marriage issue, leave it all to us. Our family will keep us informed about the wedding preparations. From catering, clothes, souvenirs, penghulu and so on. Let Harris set it up. Open. so Ris."

"Yes right!!" Answer Harris. Because Harris is Bimo's confidant.

The conversation doesn't get there.

There's still a lot to discuss. They all keep talking about the wedding plans that will be held when?

****

The conversation is over. Now there is a dinner show.

"Let's go ummi, Abi and the others. Enjoyed lunch. Come on, Bimo." Bring mama.

"So bother nih ma'am!" Sahut.

Everyone stood up and walked to the dining table. One by one take a plate and spoon containing rice, vegetables, and side dishes.

They all enjoy the fine dining served by the host with delicious and scrumptious.

"This is a good anointing! Who's making it?" Tanya ummi after tasting a well-tasting anointing.

"Manda will make for ummi yes, it happens that abi same Bimo likes!"

I replied to ummi. "Yes ummi."

.

.

.

The wedding discussion is over. Lunch is also. Now there is a free event.

They talk back together!

While Widya and I cleaned dishes and used glasses.

Suddenly Bimo came and shocked me who was doing the dishes!

"Manda. Can we talk to you for a second!" Call Bimo who suddenly came!

"Yes mas! What's up?"

I followed Bimo to talk outside for a while. Bimo walked first and I tailed behind him!

Bimo brought me to Grandpa Aryan money sitting in front while enjoying the view of the mama's house full of flowers!

"Grandfather! It's Manda!"

Grandpa Aryan looked at me and smiled revealing his tooth that was getting toothless!

I approached Grandpa Aryan and asked him! "Grandpa called me what's wrong?"

"Grandfather has heard everything from Bimo! What a fate to play you! But believe me Bimo will restore all your dreams of happiness in the household! You will get happiness! Stay upbeat and confident that all crying will be replaced with happiness!"

"Yes cake!"

I did know grandfather, but grandfather's words encouraged me. That all trials will inevitably come to an end and be replaced with happiness!

"Manda, we pray together. You want?"

I turned around and looked into Bimo's eyeballs.

I have not prayed with my imam for a long time. Last with Abim! Whether it was when, I forgot! My inner!

"Let's go!"

Because this has entered the time of Dzuhur, I also accepted Bimo's invitation. We both went inside to get water.

We both perform Dzuhur prayers together. After the prayer, Bimo did not stand up. There is prayer and dhikr after the completion of his prayer! I followed him until he was done.

Said mom.

"No ma! I forgot to tell you that my mother sent a message via WhatsApp, he said Mr. Rizal was still sick. So can't come!"

"Their love. They must suffer because of their children!" Sahut Arif's.

We all went back to cleaning the house.
