Divorced on the First Night

Want to Get Married

***

Honestly, Hamkan is not the type of man who likes to linger in a relationship with a woman like for example dating first before marriage.

Haman wants to get married soon. After all, his own age is now ripe for marriage.

Many of his friends followed him first. But Hamkan realized very well, marriage is not a running competition where the fastest win. Wasn't it! Marriage is not that simple.

Actually, many women approached Hamkan. Either clandestinely or bluntly. But Hamkan himself pretended to ignore them even though they had given a very significant signal.

Not just the kind of guy who is picky. Hamkan never demands to get a perfect lover or a level with himself.

Maybe it's true the saying goes. The smarter a person is, the harder it is to find a partner. Because their injuries are selected with jelly to get the best.

“I think I've gone crazy,” said Hamkan while rubbing his hair back when reflecting on his walk in closet.

How he's not crazy. The smile of the woman when gently rubbing the head of the little boy decorated with hijab was truly a very sincere smile.

There was even a question in Hamkan's mind. Anha is so unfortunately with a child. What if he has his own child? Anha will love her son very much. Surely later will be smitten cheeks that adorable.

‘I can't imagine, An, how will my children grow up with mothers who are like you.’

It's bullshit! Anha can definitely be a good parent to their child even though her past was bad!

Somehow Hamkan clenched his hands tightly when remembering the words of Anha's future husband at that time.

Hemkan sighed. Never mind. He thought too much about this final ending.

Because Hamkan was not feeling sleepy. Finally Hamkan walked down the stairs to approach his mother who was busy watching soap operas in the family room.

“Malem, Ma,” greeting Hamkan while landing his butt on that soft sofa.

“Hmm,” said mom at a glance while still staring at the television screen.

Get scratching the tip of his nose. Doubt to express his desire.

This time, Hamkan was steady!

“Well, what if Hamkan nglama someone? Does Mama agree?” that was the start of their conversation in the living room that night.

His eyes were immediately fully rounded when he heard it.

“Hah! Meaning?!” mama asked astonished while glaring and still holding the television remote. His mouth was slightly open when he heard his son's words.

Because this Hamkan is never boyfriend-girlfriend or seduce women out there. Then suddenly, there was no rain, no lightning. This boy wants to marry someone.

“Who would you like to marry? Before marriage, you must know well the seedlings, bebet, the same weight, you know, Hamkan!” mama said with a sigh while gnashing her forehead.

Wrong eating what his son was until suddenly asked to get married. Did Anha give strange food to her son this afternoon?

“But Mama already knows him well, really, Ma. Surely Mama also know that seedlings bebet weights from him is good.”

Jeng Asih is eager to catch his son using a television remote. He's starting to growl.

“Don't say, yes, you want to marry Prilly! I will not agree with Mama if you marry that girl. Nope! Mama will not wait!” said Jeng Asih earnestly with bulging eyes while pointing at Hamkan using the TV remote.

Lita—adik Hamkan who was studying in the reading room also turned his head on the door because he heard his mother screaming like that.

“Mama don't scream, dong. Lita again learned to know material for tomorrow's exam,” protests Lita while frowning because her concentration is scanty. The reading room is next to the family room. So her mother's voice sounded really loud.

Hamkan who heard that held an amused laugh.

“Eh, yes, Dear. Sorry Mama, yes. There and there you continue to learn you again.”

After that Lita continued to read her thick package book.

Back again to Hamkan and his mother who was still confronting in the family room. The atmosphere was getting heated between the mother and the child.

“Just Mama does not agree you want to marry Prilly odd it!” jeng Asih said but this time in a lower voice than before.

“But, Ma—”

Hamkan had not yet explained that it was not Prilly who he wanted to marry but his mother had cut off his speech.

“Not there but-beauty!”

Let's breathe out tired. Who would marry Prilly. Looks like this mother is very sensitive to Prilly.

When her mother looked calm. Finally expressed his wishes well.

“Ma. Actually want to marry the same.”.

Hamkan paused for a moment his speech making his mother wrinkle her forehead.

“Sama Anha, Ma.”
