Zainals
I sat down with Bang alif and Zainuddin, her future husband Ani. He's younger than me.
I sat down to take some distance from him while bang Alif sat opposite to us. I sat down uneasily because my mind was mixed everywhere. Faded already my desire to confide in bang Alif. Now I'm lazy, to say even a word I'm reluctant.
He was young, handsome, ustadz and his carrier was calm. What am I supposed to compare to him?
"You're out of Zein's sport?"
"Zeez..." Bang Alif called me.
"Eh yes bang.." I replied in shock.
"You're out of sport?"
"Oh.. This was me here riding a bike all sports. I was here to confide but I got a surprise ...." I can't hide my dislike for the person sitting on my equal footing.
"It's called Zainal ustadz. He's Ani's ex. Has Ani ever told you?" Bang Alif said casually and I was a little surprised. Why did bang Alif say that to us.
"oh.... This I just heard. But now there's no relationship anymore, right?" He nodded and then looked at me.
Crazy this is a guy. It's a puck or something, my mind. By the way it can be that relaxed. He was not jealous or felt that I was nothing compared to him. I want to grab her neck collar and then I'll just slam her. My pride is like being trampled.
I just kept quiet and didn't answer his question. I don't want to budge yet still just a proposal, not yet a wedding.
"If the proposal still has no rights, right bang? As long as Ijab qobul can still be fought right bang?" I can't talk anymore. To the point only. I don't want to give up now. Mama's blessing I got so no one else can stand in our way. I'm also sure Ani still loves me.
Alif's look at me was not what it used to be. He seemed angry, perhaps not pleased with what I just said.
I swallowed my salivary. The gaze of bang Alif this time really made my hair bristling with fear. Never have I seen a bang Alif like this. It turned out that the person whose carriage was calm and wise was extremely frightening when angry.
"Sorry bang. I don't know about it yet".
A quiet atmosphere enveloped the living room. Actually, I want to ask how the law is married while pregnant and the children's nasab later how it happened to Wulan. But I paled because the current condition is not right. I will also be more insecure because it will make me look stupid in front of my rival who is an ustadz.
"Bang." I finally ended our silence and I know I'm not expected here right now.
"Yes.." replied bang Alif.
"Dude...." I paused my sentence for fear that bang Alif would get angry again and might not give permission but at least I should try one last time. After this I promise I won't bother him anymore.
"Why?"
"Can I talk to Ani for a second ?" I glanced at the man sitting a little far away from me.
Bang Alif looked at his future brother-in-law like he was asking for an opinion.
"I don't care if Ani is willing because as he said earlier if I don't have the right to forbid. I also believe my future wife knows the boundaries that should not be broken. There might be a conversation that the two of them had to finish" He spoke confidently and authoritatively.
I really feel insecure.
"I'm waiting in front of the bang...!" I said as bang Alif moved from his seat to enter the house.
I waited anxiously, whether he was willing to meet me or not.
I promise Mu ya Alloh.
