Certainty of Love

33

The day turns out to be like the previous plan that Nayya would visit the family of her future father-in-law. Nayya after helping the mother with home affairs and breakfast together immediately prepared to go to her future in-laws.

While Risam at his home was also just finished preparing to pick up his future wife, “Mih, Pih Risam said goodbye first.” Risam Permit.

Mami Vega and papi Lutfi already knew that Nayya was coming. Mami Vega and Adiba have prepared something to welcome Nayya to their new family, “Be careful on the road nak.” said Mami Vega.

Risam nodded then greeted his parents and he immediately snatched the keys of their family's car to pick up his future wife.

We go back to Nayya's side, she's done preparing. While waiting for her future husband to pick up who was already on the way, Nayya tidied up all the flower vases in her house.

“Nak, why not go instead clean the flower vase. Your clothes can be dirty nak.” said mama Fara who saw her daughter who was beautiful and fragrant actually cleaned the vase of flowers.

“Gak nothing mah. But I am tired of waiting. It is better for Nayya to use her time to tidy up the vase. Take it easy mah, this will not dirty the body of Nayya.” Nayya.

Mama Fara can only sigh because she is very memorized that her daughter is very stubborn, “Alright it is up to you. Don't blame mama if later you are kicked out by your future in-laws because of the smell of dust.” Mama Fara said immediately leaving her daughter.

Nayya who heard his mother's words just smiled, “Mami Vega can't possibly throw me away mah. I am their ideal son-in-law.” Nayya said narcissistic.

Mama Fara who heard her daughter's accent just smiled while shaking her head, “You're narcissistic son.” said Mama Fara smiled when in her mind justifies that her daughter told the truth.

Nayya who heard his mother's reply just smiled. Nayya also did not seriously say that because no matter how the family of her future husband liked her she should not be stubborn. Nayya did it just to melt the atmosphere.

Not long Risam arrived. Papa Imran who is in front immediately welcomes his future son-in-law, “You picked up Nayya huh?” ask papa Imran a stale base after his prospective daughter-in-law experienced it.

Risam nodded, “Iya pah.” Reply Risam smiled.

Nayya immediately came out because she heard the sound of Risam's car so she immediately came out with a bag on her shoulder, “Nak, invite her future husband first. Offer a drink first time yes just leave.” said papa Imran saw his daughter who had come out.

“No need to deck. We're leaving. Pah, we're leaving. Risam is not thirsty either. Risam permission to invite Nayya pah to home.” Risam said with respect.

Papa Imran smiles, “Iya son. Be careful on the road.” Papa Imran.

Risam nodded then the two immediately greeted papa Imran to leave because Mama Fara did not have any business for a while. Risam immediately opened the car door for Nayya, “Thank you.” Nayya.

Risam just nodded then immediately ran to the other car door and entered and not long after the car left Nayya. Papa Imran who saw the car that took his daughter away smiled, “It looks like I have to get used to this scene. I will lose my eldest daughter because she will foster her new family.” Papa Imran said a little sad. Papa Imran is happy because his daughter finds a man who loves her sincerely and also the family of the man loves his daughter very much but still he is a father who will certainly feel sadness. Moreover, Nayya is his eldest daughter, the daughter he first carried and gave him the title of a father. Turn his title of just a husband into a father. The daughter he loved so much and was proud of all his success.

He is actually not sincere if his little daughter who he used to carry is soon going to be a wife and daughter-in-law for his new family. Although he is also uncomfortable if he hears his daughter in gossipkan because he has not been married at the age of 27 years where friends his age are married and have children. Papa Imran does not understand what his heart wants, he wants Nayya married but on the other hand he is also sad. Maybe that's how a father feels when he's going to let his daughter get married.

***

Nayya and Risam told each other in the car and as soon as they passed the center of the village they did not realize there was Afnan who saw them talking and laughing at each other. Afnan looked towards those who were indeed open car windows. That look was a wounded look.

Mami Rana who also saw it immediately looked at the son who stared at Risam's car until it disappeared from sight, “Nak, let's go home.” Mami Rana said carefully.

Afnan looked at his mama and nodded and immediately left the stall first from his mama. Mami Rana looked at her son's back sadly, “I'm sorry mami nak.” muttered mami Rana felt guilty.

Afnan indeed some days did not show his sadness and just silence like a mute person. He will only talk if he is spoken to. Mami Rana and papi Riyad also only let their son without disturbing him or bringing up any problems related to Nayya because they know their son is injured even though it is not said.

Afnan once reached his house went straight into his room and laid his body on the bed. Afnan took a photo he kept behind his pillow, “Why is it so hard to forget you, Nay. Why seeing you laughing with another man makes you so sick. My heart feels bloody Nay. Is this how you feel when you wait for me to keep my promise? Please disappear from my heart. I've tried to give you to your future husband but why does everything hurt me so much. Your laugh made me bleed Nay. I want you to be happy but I am also unable to endure this pain. Nay, what should I do so that you can disappear from my heart.” Afnan muttered in tears.

Afnan immediately stood up and took something in his closet. He stared at the bottle, “I know you hate this Nay so much. I know you hate something as haram as this, but this is the only way I can for a moment forget my deepest feelings and also your shadows in my heart.” Inner Afnan immediately drank a bottle of alcohol in one drink.

Mami Rana who heard the muttering of her son could only cry behind the door, “I'm sorry mami son. This is all our fault.” Inner mami Rana crying.
