Chasing a Matchmaker
20. Towards Halal
"Eeh.. What are you doing?" mama Tia's cry sounded as she watched Celia and Andra clap tightly.
They let go of their embrace.
"Sorry aunt, we celebrated our relationship until it went too late like this" explained Andra who was afraid of the gaze of her parents.
"What do you guys have in common?" ask Mr. Wijaya.
"We've just become a reward, Celia Nerima I'm her boyfriend"
"Waaahhh. We are made by dong jeng Tia" Mama Rani cheered with excitement.
"Yeah, Alhamdulillah" said Mama Tia.
"Emm Ma. I'm just starting a relationship, don't think macem-macem first ah" explained Celia who was uncomfortable with the words of her mother who was too hopeful about her relationship with Andra.
"Well the name is also we hope the best for you dear" continued Mama Tia.
"What if we continue the conversation inside?" bring Papa Anton
They regroup in the family room to discuss Celia and Andra's relationship.
"Son Andra, is it really serious with Celia?"
"Papa.." Celia protests against her father.
"What ga Cel, it's natural Papa you ask this" explained Andra.
"Yes om, Andra is serious with Celia, if it is allowed, Andra wants to immediately make Celia as a companion of Andra's life, even if Celia is willing and also om and aunt gives blessing" andra continued at length to answer papa Anton.
Andra's answer successfully made everything there seem happy, except Celia of course.
Celia was still hesitant with Andra's sudden decision.
"Om and aunty strongly agree with your wishes Ndra, because we feel it suits you, let alone our family already knows well, but the final decision remains in Celia's hands, how are the Pants?"
"Celia asked for time to think first, because this is something important and Celia did not want to rush to decide" replied Celia
"Well, Cel, I'll wait for you to give me the answer" Andra said.
"You guys go out gih, mumpung still this afternoon, let you know more" Mama Rani proposed to Celia and Andra.
"Yes, yuk Cel we go for a walk while snacking" Andra invited
Celia also agreed to Andra's invitation and permission to change her clothes first.
They went to a cafe not far from Celia's house. There, again Andra expressed her desire to be Celia's companion.
"Cel, I know it's too soon for you, but I've never been this sure to decide that I want you to be my escort forever" Andra said, holding Celia's hand and looking into her beautiful eyes.
"I will always try to make you happy with me, you will be my wife" Andra continued, taking out a box from her pocket containing a very beautiful diamond-eyed ring.
Celia was shocked as she covered her mouth with both hands.
"I can't help my feelings anymore Cel, that's when I came to your house recently for buying this ring first, now you answer yes" Andra pinta with a pleading look at Celia
Celia looked at Andra's face, she looked for something there, looking for Andra's love and sincerity, then she reached out her ring finger to Andra and said "I'm willing to be your wife Mas" said Celia with a smile.
Andra happily accepted Celia's reply and subconsciously shouted while saying "Yesss".
His actions attract the attention of those around him. But he doesn't care.
Andra then put the ring on Celia's ring finger and kissed her while saying "Thank you dear".
Celia could only nod and suddenly her tears dripped from happiness.
Andra moved beside Celia, then clasped Celia's hand tightly.
"We called our parents" Andra said. Celia just nodded.
Tuuttt..
"Assalamualaikum Ma"
"Waalaikumsalam, what's the matter Ndra, just left when he called?"
"Mama and Papa are still at Om Anton's house?"
"Yes, again eating brownies made by Celia, so good you know Ndra, why son?"
"May you at loudspeaker ma?"
"Ok Ok"
Mama Rani loudspeaker her phone and put it on the table.
"Let's talk Ndra, everyone can hear you"
"mmm.. Ma, Pa, Om, Aunty. Andra just proposed to Celia to be Andra's wife"
"Wahhh..trus how is Ndraaa?" mama Rani asked impatiently
"Thank God Ma, Celia is willing to be Andra's wife"
"Alhamdulillah" all parents answered compactly.
"When are you planning on marrying Ndra?" ask Papa Wijaya
"Andra wants Pa as soon as possible, but Andra leaves everything to Om Anton and his family too"
"Ok, Mumpung Papa and Mama here we will talk about, you guys just take care of it" continued Papa Wijaya.
