A Friend from Malaysia

It was not Ehsan

"Eh, uh, look at that fat guy over there! Too bad. Why did Yola have so much to him?"

The whispers of students at Yolanda school were heard during the break.

Hafiz was seen being punished standing in the middle of the field in salute at the flag. Sweat soaked his face and school uniform. Hafiz was punished by a sports teacher for not working on PR. Mr. Mulyadi is famous for his killer punishing disobedient and undisciplined students. He also hated students who did not do their jobs. Because of knowing that, Yola and her friends deliberately tore the task that Hafiz had worked so hard to do from home.

"Yola, how do you hate Hafiz? Poor know! For almost an hour he stood in the field. Where it's hot, he also did not tell Mr. Mulyadi that our PR was torn. I was so sorry to have followed you to disturb Hafiz" Friska said with pity.

"God, do you like Ehsan? Sono, sono! Help your girlfriend! Stand there at the flagpole!" yola replied annoyed.

"What girlfriend, Crazy?! I obviously just feel sorry for him. And if I think he's good too. The proof is he didn't tell Mr. Mulyadi that you ripped off his PR. You see it! He's sweating all over him, Yol! Will soon faint again because of the heat of the child," defended Friska.

"Wildamah! Ndut should thank me. Thanks to me he can reduce his calories by a percentage. It's good that he's skinny. Counting could be Friska's boyfriend later, wouldn't you say, Yur?" ask Yola for Yuri's support.

Yuri immediately replied with a nod as they laughed giggling. Before long their attention was on Mr. Mulyadi who shouted from the teacher's room at Hafiz.

"Dude!! Already, you rest now!" exclaim Mr. Mulyadi.

"Thank you, sir!" sahut Hafiz leaned over and tried to stretch his legs which began to feel cramped. His feet are really limp. With a trick Hafiz immediately walked towards his classroom.

"Duhhh kasamaaaan ..." ledek Yola with her evil laughter.

Hafiz snorted in annoyance but could do nothing. He immediately left the troublemaker trio. But just as he was about to turn around, Hafiz accidentally looked towards Yola's skirt that looked stained. That is ....

Hafiz left that place. He even approached Yola, until it was very close to Yola.

"Eh, what do you want?" yola asked in shock when she realized Hafiz was very close behind her.

"There's something on your skirt, Yola. You come with me to the toilet for a second. I'll help cover you up with skirts" whispered Hafiz.

"What are you talking about, Ndut? I don't understand what you're doing" Yola replied still with her teasing.

Hafiz sighed and pointed at the back of her skirt. Yola turned her head, and yes Tuhaaan .. why did it break through? How'this? How'this?

"Did you look? You come with me!"

And Yolanda was forced to walk backwards, covered with Hafiz's fat body behind her.

"Eh, Yola's the same Hafiz who did?" whispered his friends.

"Yola! Why are you taking the way back so much as Ndut?" yuri asked while wanting to chase after Yola.

"No, no! You're there, Yur! Don't follow me!" yola panicked.

Yola was panicking. He felt the problem of his current moon was one of the embarrassing moments after his mother explained that he was no longer a child. That by coming months a woman means to have become a mature woman like Mama and should not be carelessly close again to men. Yola was embarrassed because among the three of them, she, Yuri and Friska, she had experienced this moment first. It's shameful! What else does Hafiz see now.

"You waited here for a second! I'll get you a jacket to cover you've got skirts" Hafiz said after they got to the toilet.

"No need. You just get my jacket in the drawer and my bag bring it here!" said Yola.

Before leaving school, Mamah brought him a bandage to keep in a bag for guarding.

"OKAY. Wait a second. I'll get you got a bag. In an instant I'll be back here" said Hafiz.

Yola nodded. In his heart he was somewhat sorry to treat Hafiz nosily. Actually the kid's a good kid. And Yola wasn't a real nosy kid either. But if you remember a few months ago Yola had eavesdropped on the talk of Mama and Mama Hafiz, Yola became hateful and wanted to make Hafiz hate him. How not, that time ...

*Flashback on*

"You're Yolanda?" The woman was stunned looking at Yola.

Her soft hands directly touched Yola's chin, and then touched the delicate skin of her face.

Yola nodded.

"Svery lock! You're so pretty!"

Yola looked at her mother confused.

"Yola, he's Aunt Zubaidah from Malaysia. This aunt with her family just moved to Jakarta."

The person called Aunt Zubaidah then nodded in allowing.

"They are like you. And the plan will be a school with you. You can be good friends" Mama explained.

Yola just nodded.

"Yes, Ma. But Yola went back to the room first huh, Ma? Aunt, Yola to the room first, yeah! Yola still has PR to work on" Yola said.

Yola also left Mama and aunty called Makcik. To be honest, Yola was a bit uncomfortable with the sight of Uncle Zubaidah who looked intensely staring at him. Can't even help but touch her hair and skin. Is this the first time they met? Why does that guy look so familiar to her?

Yola's question was finally answered. When Yola wants to take a drink to the kitchen, Yola overhears the conversation of her Mother and Aunt.

"Well, Dik Ratih, I did not expect that Yolanda had grown into a very beautiful girl, beautiful in face when she was still a baby, very small, but cute. Now it's big. Saye can't wait to marry Yola to saye's son. He must be saye's son-in-law" said Makcik Zubaidah.

Mama Ratih doesn't seem very happy to hear that.

"Yola .. She was very small. Only his body is big. He was also spoiled and childish," said Mamah trying to subtly reject the statement from Uncle Zubaidah.

"Not ape. Whatever kind of attitude from the prospective daughter-in-law saye, we can accept. In keeping with the ape-ape that we agreed on in the past, Yolanda must be saye's daughter-in-law once she reaches puberty. We will treat the die well and semestinye. So please, don't try to break our pade promise" Makcik said.

While Yola who was peeking out from behind the door was confused by that. Whatdoes thatmean? What does it mean he's been set up?

"We will not break the promise" Mama said despite sounding insincere. "But Yola has not yet reached puberty. He's never even been menstruating. So it's too early if Mrs Zubaidah talks about marriage."

"Don't call me Puan. Call me Brother. Soon we will be besan. You will be the father-in-law of Saye's son. Regarding Yolanda, soon he will also reach puberty. When she has her first period, don't you ever hide it from us, hmmm?"

Yola who heard the conversation also became coldly hot. Soon he returned to his room. Be married? Will she be married at a very young age? Nope, no! That must not be true. Yeah, that must be wrong.

*Flashback Off*

Yola wanted to ask Mama that question. But seeing Mama was very intimidated when discussing it with Uncle Zubaidah, making Yola undo his intention to ask Mama directly what their conversation with Uncle Zubaidah meant.

At their next meeting, Yola was introduced to the son of the Aunt Zubaidah. She's Hafiz, the fat one that Yola thought was the one who would marry her. Making Yola hate and always insulting Hafiz so that the child has a bad impression and does not want to be betrothed to him.

And today ever since Yola knew what she was going through this morning was the menstruation referred to by Uncle Zubaidah, making Yola so much more want to pressure Hafiz to not like it more. So that later when they really talked about it, Hafiz refused. Because of Mama's attitude when talking about it with Uncle Zubaidah, Mama seemed to have no power to refuse. So Yola thought, maybe if you reject Hafiz, this early marriage will never happen.

But today Hafiz helped him. How'this? Will Yola keep judging that fat guy?

"Finally you came too, Inspiration. It even came earlier than Mama had expected. Can't wait to meet your future wife?" moda Mamah Zubaidah on Inspiration.

"What do you mean by Mama? Ilham came here to tell Mamah that Ilham did not want to be married to the slave," replied Ilham shortly after he reached his family residence in Jakarta.

"Mamah does not accept any reason Ilham. I'm gonna have to marry Yola. Mom has loved him since Yola was a baby. Mama wants him to be Mamah's son-in-law" Zubaidah said.

"Haah!? Mama is suke but want to force Ilham to marry die? Why didn't Mamah Saje marry the boy?"

"Ilhaaam!! Mama dah kate, not de rejection. You can't fight Mamah!"

"Ilham didn't want to fight Mamah, but Ilham didn't want to get married. Inspiration does not want people to say that Inspiration is a pedophile. Inspiration still wants to learn. Inspiration is not ready for marriage, Mom! especially with that little boy," argued Inspiration.

"Not anyone who talks about that to you. You and Yola can still learn the same. People marry mase ni hanye for mere bonding. A few more years on your way back from Berlin, Yola is all grown up. Mase that's what you are and he's wading through the real household ark" said Zubaidah again trying to convince his son.

"Then do you mean Mamah and Papah, kenape I did not marry Ilham and he was in Ilham's mase back from Berlin? Kenape must be now?"

"In that case, kenape did I not marry the boy to Hafiz alone? They will grow together. He will still be Mamah's son-in-law" Ilham argued.

Inspiration increasingly do not understand the way the mind of his family. Why should there be such a thing in his life?

"Kerana Atok also wants you to marry Yola. Hafiz isn't old enough, honey! He is not yet aqil puberty. And you're Ilham, with Yola already at that mase. So, you and him are the most suitable!"

Arggghhh!!! Inspiration scratching his head that does not itch. How do I convince Mamah? He really doesn't want to get married. But if Atok also wants him to be married to the child, it means that it can not be contested. What Atok said was absolute and inviolable. If Atok already wants A, then what happens must be A, not others.

"That's it, you can't dodge anymore. In the future you will be kind to Yolanda. He'll be your companion taking care of the kite's business. Have you seen the picture of your future wife? Look at it here! Pretty, right?"

Mamah opened her cell phone gallery and showed her photos of Yolanda. Inspiration only glanced at him at a glance.

Helleeh, so is dikate beautiful. Sonia is far more beautiful. More mature and mature. Not like a slave! the Gerrutu of Inspiration in the heart.

On a predetermined night, the two families, the Nirwan and Gunawan families were reunited.

"Yola, come here!" call Papa Abhimanyu.

Yola, the girl approached lazily. He was very heavy-hearted to join this meeting. Judging from papa's order telling his ART to dress him up, Yola already understood the purpose of this meeting. He really wanted to mess it up right now, but Yolanda didn't dare to Papa. Now he only hoped that fat Hafiz would reject him. Yes, that Ehsan the bully will definitely reject him. Unless he wants to be bullied by Yola for the rest of his life.

Yola approached the dining table which was now filled with many people at the table. There was Hafiz and both of his parents. But uh, there's another one. Who her? That guy looks good. Is this the brother Hafiz meant?

Cih, this fat guy! He really called his brother! yola in the Heart

Slowly Yola pulled up the seat beside her Papa.

"All family members are complete, let's eat first!" abhimanyu said.

The dinner was interspersed with small talk between the Nirwan family and the Gunawan family.

"Dad can't come. But he was ape-ape who was the talk of the kite tonight I was the one who represented," Ismail's father from Hafiz said as soon as they finished eating and now spoke in the living room.

"No problem. I can understand his busyness," said Abhimanyu. "More importantly, the person we're referring to for tonight's meeting are both here."

Die, thought Yola. Today really came. Papa really wanted to marry me to this fat one, lamenting Yola inwardly, but his eyes glared sharply at the spoiled Hafiz who looked like he was struggling on his brother.

"Ilham, how are you?" abhimanyu asked Yola to look at the man.

The sight of their eyes meeting makes Yolanda so misbehaved.

"Alhamdulillah, saye healthy, Uncle! Mr Cik and Ms, how are you?" answer the man politely.

"We are healthy too, Ilham. Alhamdulillah! What about preparing for your departure next month to Berlin?"

"Alhamdulillah, all is ready, Mr. Cik. Atok has arranged everything" replied Ilham again.

"Your doctor is careful and alert in every way" Abhimanyu praised. "But Inspiration, at other times you do not need to call me Mr. Cik. Call me Papa. You will be my daughter-in-law. Have you met Yolanda? This is my son. Your future wife. You must have heard it from your Mom and your Papah."

Jengs!Jengs!Jeng!!

And Yolanda gaped at it, and so did Hafiz!

Ape? He wants to be my brother-in-law? hafiz screams in my heart.

Whahuh? So isn't Hafiz marrying me? yolanda's screams were also in the heart.

"Papa ..." murmured Yolanda slightly objected but her father ignored her.

"How's Inspiration? You agreed? Tell me now to make our family relationship clear in the future! So there will be no misunderstandings" Abhimanyu said.

Ilham looked at Yola for a moment, before he finally said.

"I am ready" he answered.

Abhimanyu smiled with relief and now turned to his daughter.

"Yola, you know Papa always wants the best for you?" ask him to Yola.

Yola nodded. He knew Papa would lead him with a cornered question so he would say "yes".

"If Papa says Papa wants to marry you to Abang Ilham, do you believe that Papa only wants the best for you?"

"Nggggg .. but ..." murmured Yola.

"But what?"

"But Yola still wants to go to school. Yola doesn't want to have children" she said innocently.

It made the two pairs of old men smile at Yolanda's babble.

"Papa understands what you're thinking. It's not as complicated as it's on your mind. Married only to Brother Ilham. Yola remained in school as usual, and Brother Ilham was also soon going to Germany for college. You will learn the same. So this is not like the marriage of Mama and Papa, rather not yet," said Abhimanyu trying to convince.

Yola still hesitated to answer him and timidly looked at Ilham. The man looked at him without any special experection. Yes, Inspiration knows this is a business marriage or the like, but clearly this is not a normal marriage like adults love each other. He's not mad at the girl. He understood that even Yola was confused. Therefore her face also did not show any expression when Yola looked at her.

"Yola!" call papa again.

Yola flinched from her thoughts.

"You're willing not to, if Papa marries you to Inspiration now?"

"Now?"

Yola added to the confusion.

"I mean Papa's not tonight. But in a few weeks."

"Nwg ...."

"Not to be forced now. Yola must still be worried, ye?" ask Ms. Zubaidah.

Yola nodded. Actually he's not worried. He was very sure to refuse. But papa ...

"We'll wait a few more days. Thats okay. Don't worry, Beautiful boy! Ilham's brother is the son of Mamah Zubaidah who is the best and handsome anyway, right?" ask Zubaydah to Yola.

Yola nodded slowly.

"He'll treat you like a sister. You don't have a brother, do you? He'll protect you just as much as protect Hafiz. Aye, right?" ask Zubaydah again to Inspiration.

Ilham nodded.

Yeah right, I don't have to treat this wife's macem slave. But I can treat her like a sister. No problem, married this kid. Apebile in the future this child is a little more mature and understand the marriage article should not be forced into an uncintentible apabile, I want to divorce him, as Ilham thought.

"A week to think?" ask Zubaydah to Yola.

Yola nodded.
