Hijab And Waiting
Heartbroken
Today Diana asked Bu Lani for permission not to work, because today will also be a historic day for Diana. Hafiz and his extended family will come to formally propose to Diana. Diana was very frustrated. But he won't have the courage to argue with Oma either. One night he could not sleep, leaving a black mark under his beautiful eyelids. Oma and her other siblings are busy in the kitchen to cook various food menus to welcome the arrival of Hafiz and his family.
"Well you haven't had a shower yet Diana? Let's quickly take a shower, wear this shirt and make a beautiful dance, yes" said Oma while putting a package containing clothes.
Diana was only able to take a deep breath and walked with her shunt steps towards the bathroom. After cleaning up, Diana returned to her room. Then look at her face in front of the mirror.
"What is this thing called destiny? Why is it so painful for me. He's a nice guy, but I don't think I'm getting married this fast either. Suppose a prince came to take me away from this place... But it's all just in fairyland" said Diana, drying her long hair with a towel.
tock..tok....
"Get in" said Diana when she heard the door of her room being knocked.
"Sir, do you really want to get married?" ask Kevin who was sitting on the edge of Diana's bed.
Diana simply shrugged her shoulders while expressing something that no one else understood to mean.
"Did you like Hafiz's sister?" ask Kevin again.
"Think of it never, ever, ever like it again," replied Diana casually.
"Trus why would you marry her?" ask Kevin again.
"Mbak just don't want to be a child against parents. Oma said our mother did not want to hear Oma's advice so that her household life was a mess. So you just don't want to be like a mama," added Diana again.
"Trus, how's Andre?" Kevin began to be curious, because at the age of his teens he had begun to understand about love.
"Why are you a detective? go there, she malu. Kepo very similar mbak life," said Diana sewot.
"Just ask doang." said Kevin as he left Diana's room.
**********
At Hafiz's house it seemed that everyone was busy preparing everything to propose to Diana. Some of Hafiz's cousins put the delivery parcel in the car. There are 3 units of cars parked in front of Hafiz's house. The car belonged to Hafiz's extended family who wanted to take Hafiz to Diana's house. Actually some of them were just curious about Diana. Because all this time Hafiz is known to have no girlfriend or close female friends.
Hafiz was already prepared with a white shirt and black pants, complete with a black peci decorating her head.
"Sir, what is his future wife, Hafiz?" tanya April Hafiz's cousin's sister.
"Later to see for yourself, you can conclude for yourself what it looks like" said Hafiz with a smile.
"The ring is, isn't it, son?" ask Aunt Hafiz who approached them.
"It's bi," answered Hafiz briefly.
After all the preparations were complete, Hafiz and the others got into the available car. Then they walked along.

"Diana's permission not to enter today, she said there is a family affair," said Bu Lani while reading a magazine in the living room.
"What is ma?" Andre started to wonder.
"Kepo is very much the same for people. Ask yourself," said Bu Lani with a laugh.
Andre acted like a child. Pacing back and forth like a chick losing a brood. Bu Lani chuckles at the behavior of her eldest son. Andre took out his cell phone from his pants pocket and wanted to contact Diana. But there was still doubt in his heart. He began typing a message to send to Diana, but hesitated and deleted it again. Andre took the keys of his motorbike then rushed to go to Diana's house.
"Where are you going Ndre?" asked Bu Lani who saw Andre wearing his hodie.
"You're looking for some fresh air, ma'am" said Andre casually.
Bu Lani shook her head looking at her son's behavior. Andre drove his motorcycle towards Diana's house. But he did not go to Diana. Andre decided to look at the situation there from across the street from Diana's house. Coincidentally not far from Diana's house there was a stall. Andre decided to wait there while ordering his favorite orange juice.
The atmosphere outside Diana's house looked crowded. Several family members gathered on the terrace of Diana's house. Diana has not yet appeared. Andre was still patiently waiting until almost an hour he saw there were 3 units of cars parked in the yard and outside the house Diana. Andre stood up to see where the man was going. It turned out that all of the guests were Diana's guests. Finally the curious Andre asked the owner of the stall.
"Sorry mom, I know what's going on at Diana's?" ask Andre to Miss Saidah, the owner of the shop next door to Diana's house.
"Oh....That's Diana's proposal. Diana was not actually a real person here. But he's become a village flower here. A lot of guys like him. But Diana was notoriously cold, keep the same distance men. Mother's son once liked her, he did not want to," said Bu Saidah.
Andre who heard the words of Bu Saidah felt like he was struck by lightning, his entire body felt helpless. He rubbed his face with both hands.
"Then, who's Diana's future husband ma'am?" andre asked, curious.
"Mom did not know mas, but what I heard from her Oma Diana, Diana's future husband was a young ustadz, a civil servant teacher as well. They have known you since 2 years ago. Indeed, after Diana's mother also never had a close male friend, because her Oma always did not like, and Diana's future husband only met in person to propose," said Bu Saidah again.
Andre was silent for a moment. He held his chest which suddenly felt like a dagger. His heart is so sick. His breathing became heavy. His eyes began to look glass. He almost lost control. Andre paid for the juice and left the place. Andre drove his bike fast. So that he almost hit the vehicle in front of him, fortunately he can still dodge.
