“Please Abi, Umi.” the Naila family welcomes you kindly. While Naila herself did not understand the purpose of the arrival of the very honorable guest.
“Said Mom who came coworker Dad, why even family from pesantren..?” naila said accidentally sliding just like that. Everyone in the room smiled. Is this a surprise that you will give me?
“So it's a surprise from Daddy dear. Mom doesn't lie, it's true Gus An is her co-worker Dad.” Mr. Said tells the beginning of getting to know Gus An. The two met at the airport when Mr. Said had just come from out of town on business, while Gus An was leaving for Egypt. In less than two hours the plane that will be in Gus An take off, he was suddenly robbed. The perpetrator carried a Gus An bag containing mobile phones, passports, money, ATMs and other important documents. Knowing that Gus An was chasing the perpetrator, Mr. Said tried his best to help Gus An until he finally managed to find the trail and take over the valuables. However, Gus An was still late and had to delay departure. That's not a big deal. He was given salvation and his belongings were returned. In return, Gus An offered for cooperation as well as giving some of his shares to Mr. Said. Not only that, Gus An also offers educational scholarships if Mr. Said deigns to send his children to boarding school owned by Abinya. But Mr. Said did not accept that, he wanted his son's education purely on his own responsibility.
“Oh so that, why Dad never told me when the incident was a long time ago, since I was still SD.”
“Because you are still a child, want Daddy to tell you anyway you will not understand.” Mr. Said embraced Naila who was beside him. Everyone laughed when they heard it. Her spirit became warm as the laughter mixed into one.
“To the point only, the point is today I propose you to be a part of my life. I've been talking about this with Mr. Said all day. I'll wait until you're ready to get married.” Naila didn't expect Gus An to speak this seriously. He was stunned to be speechless again. A few days ago Gus An had revealed, but Naila thought that it was just a joke. How could he marry a son who is already well educated and has a good career. While he was just a snot boy who did not understand anything. The nasab is only from ordinary people, not from a kiyai or guardian. He may be spoken of by the people of the world. Nyali. He's totally insecure.
...****************...
It's past midnight, Naila can't sleep. He kept thinking about his decision to reject Gus An. Is it true or will it be fatal. The thing is he has to deal directly with the kiyai family. He tried to remember all the good that Gus An had done to him, as well as to remember all the ignorance of Gus An.
“Aaa.. Damn damn you Nai, still a kid has to deal with adults.” Naila covered her face with a bolster. He turned back to think about the problem.
