Enmeshed in the Love of a Married Man

9. Applicable

The morning came....

As always, this morning was beautiful. The sky is still gray. The air around feels cold touching the skin. The birds sound cheerful singing. His chirping accompanied the human activities of that morning.

Early in the morning Ayu had woken up from sleep. Suddenly the sound of dawn from the mosque toa.

Ayu immediately rushed to take a towel and shower and then berwudu to immediately worship. It turns out Arya and Bu Ida have also been waiting to worship together. They worshiped together until they finished. But when Arya recites the prayer, Ayu's unfriendly stomach wants to quickly enter the bathroom. Ayu immediately continued to pray quickly because of the kebelet.

After that Ayu out of the house looking around it turned out that outside had started to brighten, the sky god had started to emit his rays into the contest.

The surrounding atmosphere looks quiet, but the cool feel is very beautiful when looking at the surrounding yard. The atmosphere outside the yard also looks cool from a distance.

At that time Ayu looking for fresh air in the morning while his mother began to busy preparing food for breakfast.

Some people run small to exercise. There also looks a little motorbike. They seem to be working office people who work or people who go to the market to shop. On the other hand, there are still people who sleep in their beds, enjoying their beautiful dreams.

Somehow the drowsiness returned to attack Ayu. He went back to the room.

***********

Ayu continued walking towards the street to the market. Ayu chose breakfast at a stall because there is his favorite breakfast menu, namely chicken porridge. Drink warm tea.

'Emmm, it was so delicious this cold morning.'

After enjoying breakfast porridge, Ayu again continued his journey. Ayu has prepared a shopping cart and put a wallet in it.

Ayu to the market by riding his matic motorcycle. The motorbike he had bought himself from the sale of rice in the stall.

Ayu down the streets that are still quiet with her favorite motorcycle. Green and shady trees accompanied his journey. On my right side, there was a line of trees and grass along the way. On the left side, there are a lot of trees and shrubs, even many trees are still high and the diameter of the circle is wide, which displays the impression of the forest.

Ayu keeps pushing the bike. The sun is shining warmly. I love doing activities in the morning. The air is still fresh, has not been polluted with many motorized vehicles. The view of the green forest refreshes the eyes and heart. Mood Ayu is good.

The streets are starting to decline. The path downhill until a few hundred meters ahead. Without digas any Ayu motor experienced an increase in acceleration.

Suddenly Ayu is startled with a kitten around the corner.

'Laughter!'

The position of the kitten was not so far from Ayu. The little and innocent kitten had no idea he was in danger. Ayu directly slam the handlebar of his motorbike to the right of the cat. And the cat survived, not getting run over. But Ayu's motorbike pierced through the road separator and in front of her a smiling tree towards her greeted him kindly.

'Bruck…'

"Well yaaaaahhh....." Shouted Ayu.

Everything went dark. Dark and lonely.

"Father.... Ayy... Why are you, son?" The sound of Bu Ida's voice seemed to shake Ayu's body.

Ayu opened her eyes. He got up immediately but did not stand up. Adrenaline's still beating fast.

'Ah, it turns out that I didn't have any injuries.' thought Ayu looking at her hand.

Looking around was his room. And in front of him was Ida who was sitting with a panicked face.

'Ah, fuck. It turned out that at dawn I fell asleep again.' said Ayu in his heart while kneeling his temple.

"Why are you, son?" Ask Ida again.

Ayu did not answer and immediately looked at the clock, displayed at 08.00 AM.

"Tiiidaaak, I'm late for the market ma'am." Ayu.

Madam Ida shook her head.

"Actually why are you Yu? I just suddenly screamed in shock at Mom." Said Ms. Ida.

"Don't kid, today I want to rest first. You don't have to go to the market." Reply Ms Ida.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Now, let's get out. We have breakfast together, Arya has also come home from jogging."

*****************

Day by noon...

Adi returns to visit Ayu's house. This time he came with the intention to propose Ayu. Adi is really smitten with the beauty and kindness of Ayu. But Ayu hesitated to agree to marry Adi because Adi invited her to marry betel.

"Well don't want Mas, why should betel. Don't you think Mas in town already has a wife?" Ayu.

"Not that Yu, Mas is under a contract that does not allow Mas to get married in a period of up to 2 years. But Mas promised, next year we can already legalize our relationship legally." Reply Adi.

Ayu.

"Did you not believe me?" Ask Adi.

"Mas, horrify me yes. I honestly still hesitate to get married. I'm afraid things aren't up to expectations."

"Didn't you love Mas? Or you've got more of everything than Mas." Ask Adi who is starting to look upset.

"Please listen to me first. No, it's not a problem I don't love Mas anymore or I want to look for a better one as you think. For me, it was perfect. But I can't cover up the fear that comes up every time you talk about marriage. Just this once, let me explain what my biggest fear is if we get married." Ayu.

"Say!" Say Adi fast.

"Maybe I think I'm weird. But honestly, I was very nervous when Mas proposed to me. Dating and getting married is obviously different, and I'm not sure if I can keep this commitment. Especially with my status. But I'm a loyal woman, but I don't know if I can be a good wife to you.

I want to say thank you for making me the woman of choice. But what if we get married later? How did the Mas family respond to my status? Can they accept me? Can they love me, love me, love me like you?

My family and friends here always urge me to step up to the guarantee. They just looked from the outside without considering what was on my mind. If there is a problem arising from this original decision, are they willing to take responsibility?

I'm not that stupid to forget the essence of marriage. But if Mas is aware, many people are more busy talking about his celebration than how to maintain it. Many people are competing for their special day to look so magnificent. For a long time, I only meant marriage like a party done once in a lifetime."

Adi fell silent, his gaze continued to stare at the floor with his feet constantly moving. While his hand was held tightly by Ayu.

"Honestly, I only want to get married once in a lifetime. But God wants something else. Just try to see how many failures happen to other people's households. We cannot make the failure of other couples as a shadow of the future, but I know that there will be a lot of problems that come from various sides. I'm pessimistic about whether we can get through it together or not. When the problem came dozens or even decades later, whether Mas still loyally loved me and fought together or we chose to give up."

"Darling, horrifying. Do not doubt anymore. Promise me that I will be happy for you. Eliminate all your doubts." Adi finally spoke.

"May all these doubts not last long. May my fear of binding the sacred promise with you soon be lost. But, for all these decisions, I have to ask you first." Reply Ayu.

"All right." Reply Adi.

Ayu then called Ms. Ida to be invited to talk about everything.

"Mother is up to you two. Marriage is worship. Moreover, you two are also both adults. Moreover, Ayu has also been married, so she at least already has a picture of how married life. But, one thing still makes Mom doubt Nak Adi." Said Ms. Ida.

"What is Mom?" Ask Adi.

"What about your family, if they can accept Ayu with this kind of status. Moreover, you never introduced Ayu to your family."

Ayu looked at Adi who looked down.

"Mas I'll agree to marry Mas. Even though for a while we only married betel. But Mas must bring the Mas family, and we get married witnessed by community leaders here. I don't believe in the same, but...."

"Yes, I understand." Adi said cutting Ayu's speech.

Although actually still in doubt, Ayu finally agreed to marry Adi, on the condition that Adi would bring her family to come before their marriage.

Seriate....
