arriving at my house it turns out there is my family and a pack of ustad who are gathered in the living room, yes Javanese tradition of women who determine and look for a good day for marriage, yes, earlier this they also gathered to determine the calculation of the soul mate and thank God I and the son are considered suitable and the results of Istiqoroh pak ustad and others are also good so the son is accepted and allowed to propose to me and now without me knowing they are counting the good days according to the day of our birth if the Javanese say counting from weton.

" assalamualaikum" said I and the same son who astonished many at home

"walaikumsalam you guys just came home" asked my brother

" yes, the son of maksa wanted to anterin so wait for the son to come home from work first" I replied so that they did not think like that because I came home late.

"yes, take a bath first let it be fresh, your son takes a bath in the bathroom just let me wait a long time nina shower after that when eating lulu here again" ordered my mother

"ok ma'am "my answer then rushed to take a bath because I was curious why I was told to gather in front, the son immediately went up to the top to rush to the bath. after the shower we got together with them.

"don't eat first ?" ask mom

"we were eating, nina was whining she said she was very hungry so stop buying food first" replied the son

"yes, then this is ustad sir and the elders in our village have calculated the date of your marriage, and it turns out that on 1 August it will be less than 3 months away from your wedding day, it just so happened that the son came here so later you tell your family yes, because get a very close day to prepare, we can not go there" said my mother

"why so fast ? are there any other dates, ma'am?" my words are shocked because my lecture has not been thesis and graduation session, but different that looks on the face of the son he looks very happy.

"there are other things but even sooner 5 weeks, we have no preparation for it so better jmyang tgl 1 we can still prepare everything" said my brother fikri

"it's too soon, what do you want next year?" god mbk goddess

"Don't that be the reason why I'll tell my family" said the son with enthusiasm and I noticed he was astonished

"it looks like this impatient son" replied Mr. Ustad teasing the son

"how would you like to postpone sir, if my rivals are many" said the son with a small laugh

"but I haven't graduated "my protest

"gapapa mbk nina, it is better to be halted first than the sin of trus pingin nyin aja sin decetan sin better halal giholek reward, because of the reward, kan ku lecture gk forbid married people" mr. ustad gives advice

" Alright how good it is, but the cost of the wedding also gk a little within 3 months my money just squawk a little" I said sadly

"i will help me have savings even if I have a little bit" said the son

finally we agreed and chose that date, after talking to everyone in front for quite a while, the son said goodbye because tomorrow had to work, he said, but the same mother in prevented the mother sent home tomorrow just finished morning prayers.

"then I say goodbye to go home first ma'am is already night" the son said goodbye to mother

"Don't go home now tomorrow, there's still room let nina sleep with mom and kasian you're tired of not resting afraid drowsiness, this uda night should sleep first" pinta's mother who is supported by my sister

"yes sleep here will not be slandered because there are many people here and every night I and friends still stay up late" said mas fajri

"i'll clean up my room first" I passed to go into the room actually only take a blanket for the son because my room is always neat if I forget to clean it always in mbk tutik same mbk Asia who helped settle the house since I was a child untilnow.

mbk tutik same mbk Asia always love me and help me, they are loyal to work in this house, each remember their late father always feel kasian to me because I live in the father before marriage, but I am grateful to have an older sister who is very caring and supportive of me.

I took the blanket from my closet, put it on my pillow, because here the air is very cold as at the top so we are always ready to stock the blanket to prepare if there are friends or relatives money to stay overnight, after that I go out to let the son sleep in my room.

"yes, don't forget to wake up" he said as he stepped into the room

I also re-joined the people who were ordinary in my house many people and stayed together, my brother's neighbors and friends often gathered here, my brother, when I started getting sleepy and preparing to go to sleep I forgot that my nightgown was still in the room, I tried to see who knew he heard and replied

"assalamualaikum" I sent wa's message to the son

"walaikumsalam" turns out the son has not slept

"not asleep? can go out for a minute !" I sent a message through wa, without any reply his people came out closer to me

"what's wrong?" ask son

"i'm going to grab my nightgown for a while and not sleep in this shirt" I replied, then I went in and grabbed my shirt and rushed out.

"there was nothing left behind, night cream for example" the son reminded, I immediately ran to take the skincare that I used to use when going to sleep and rushed back

"already all, now please take a break "I replied while carrying the clothes and wallet skincare and greeted the teasing smile of the son.

I also entered the mother's room, I felt tired of wanting to sleep but it was difficult to close my eyes because it was remembered that the wedding date was near 3 months was not a long time to prepare all that.

"gk can sleep ya" wa's message from the son who seemed to know how I felt

"you're not sleeping either, my room isn't comfortable for you?"

"it's comfortable, even I really like to sleep in your room, I think I'll sleep here when we're husband and wife, it turns out tonight I was told to sleep here"

"yes because my sister's room in use is now again gathered at home, since our application event yesterday tomorrow they just returned to Jakarta and to banten"

"yes it's good if at home, unfortunately we went home last night so I met safa and sania they were sleeping" replied the son who missed my nephew who used to meet the banten.

"tomorrow dawn must have met them uda used to wake up at dawn when all morning prayers" I replied

"why can't you sleep? " the son asked me back

"i thought of our wedding date, I think it's too sudden and fast" I replied

"Don't think about the cost I'll make, don't you like being with me?"

"that's not it, maybe I'm just surprised" I tried to find an excuse because I didn't want him to think like I was expecting steven or something.

"i'm very happy with our wedding plans, and I don't want you to be forced, if you want to be pushed back well next year" the reply wa son made me feel guilty

"not all of you agreed I just touched on whether I could prepare it that fast, let's go to sleep, we think about it tomorrow" I replied

"i'll help prepare it, yes let's go to sleep, good night assalamualaikum "

"night, walaikumsalam" I replied

we fell asleep because we were tired of the journey, before the dawn of dawn I saw the safa and Sania very chatty and noisy make me and the same son out of the room, it seemed that they were happy to see their dear son, they ran to hug the son and the son looked very happy to receive a hug from them, they are men who prepare to go to the musholah and safa, sania and najwa ank mas fikri come to the musolah looking happy children and want to be close to the son, he said, but unfortunately after the morning prayer the son can only play for a while because he has to return to Surabaya he has to work.
