Ali And Erika

Chapter 6

Eventually the family left me and my brother.

"where are they from?"

"yes from home"

"what does Nashwa mean?"

"city people, they're rich people used to live fancy lives"

"Nashwa also often see rich people but not like them "

"sstt can not ghibah, there is a bath of wry ambu" (wry guava\= smelly asem)

"mosok se bah Nashwa is fragrant"

"continue to smell arep ra adus ngunu tho?"

"continue if the fragrance does not take a shower?"

"he he he shower sump..."

"Sa.. here Sa"

"nggih bah"

I followed Salsa to the living room where you were there, Salsa and I sat next to each other.

"loh, call Salsa when you come"

"Nashwa also wants to know..."

"you're a kepo"

"ih si abah style use the language of children today"

"he is still young than Sa"

"nggih bah"

"as per bah"

"so Abdilah came here with his father he said there was no need to wait 12 weeks to decide this ta'aruf process because Abdilah has also been steady with you"

"alhamdulillah..." Salsas

"ciye.. who wants to marry thank God very fast" I tease Salsa who seems to be careless.

"it's nice that you've also been steady, Abdilah tipped this for you and this from abah" you gave two red boxes where the jewelry is usually placed to Salsa.

Salsa received and opened the boxes one by one, giving a gold necklace to Salsa and Abdilah gave a gold ring as well.

"his father Abdilah said it was a sign that you belonged to Abdilah and would soon be his wife"

salsa's cheeks instantly blushed to hear the words abah.

"why give the necklace to Salsa?" Salsa began to fall

"Salsa. abah as your parents can not give anything when you are married, you are not rich, you are not rich, abah doesn't have a lot of rice fields just that patch and that's also for eating all of us so you can't give it to you as a gawan*you go to your husband's house"

(*sort of treasure brought when married that given parents to their children, usually in the area of Java, especially east Java is still often found.)

"Salsa didn't ask for it all bah, Salsa was grateful to be able to get to this point, I took care of Salsa without distinguishing between mbak Nia, Erika, Namira or Salsa, just as you are all abah's daughter"

I glanced over at Abah and unexpectedly she shed her tears, I ran to sit next to her brother and hugged her, Salsa did the same.

"plague do not weep.hiks..hiks..." Salsas

"abah will release one daughter abah to make her someone's wife and give the responsibility to Aab to continue educating you for the better"

"pardon Salsa if all this time Salsa much trouble abah, Salsa can not repay all services abah who want to care for Salsa from Salsa small until now hiks..."

"you are good enough wife and daughter-in-law for your husband and in-laws later Sa, your prayers are always with you my children"

"thank you" I still hugged my brother but Salsa took off her arms.

"do you want to stay here with Nashwa? it's time for you to teach at son's prayer"

"nggih bah"
