So, why did he and I get married, it happened on Friday, because it was the last day of work this week, the next day it was off, and my friends were gathering at my house, we're curcol. Telling hidden things, whether it's anger, happiness, sadness, adversity, success, failure, or something else. Me and my friends must gather, whether between Friday afternoon, Saturday, or Sunday. I always choose between those three days.
We decided to meet on Friday. Gathering in my room. I'd be happy if they were here. At least my burden disappeared when there were them.
I remember once, around 2pm someone knocked on the door of the house, I was confused who knocked, usually no guests came.
Tok....
"Assalamu'alaikum."
Since I haven't worn a veil yet, I immediately ran to the room to pick up the veil.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, wait a minute."
When I opened the door, I was shocked.
"Eh, the April deck is open anyway, your mom and dad are there?"
"Oh yes, there's a ka inside, come on in, sit down first ya ka."
"Yes deck."
I went straight inside looking for my mom and dad.
"Mom, sir, there's a guest."
"Who's Pril the guest? The Pio, right? You make a drink first, Pril."
"Yes sir, there's Brother Pio in the living room."
I made a drink in the kitchen. When I went to the living room, I brought a drink.
"Come, come on, kid, drink first. April, you're here first yeah, sit here first."
Actually I want to go back to the room to tell my best friend, if I stay for a while because there are guests, but because you have given the order, I will obey.
"So this is Pril, have you introduced Pio?"
"Yes sir, April is familiar."
"This pio came home wanting to propose to be your husband. So you don't want to accept the proposal?"
I was so confused then. I remember when I was texting him, it turns out that when I sent the message, there was one thing I just knew, he sent the message not because of idle or mode, it turns out, but he wanted to get to know me more closely. In the message there are so many questions like the interviewer who is interviewing me, questions like whether I can speak English, whether I still teach, how my school. These subtle questions I was not aware of, because the technique he was asking was what made me not realize that I was being interrogated by him.
With my nervousness, I said yes. I am very sure, if he is the right man as my imam, I have also noticed it through social media and I think he has qualified as a prospective husband, it is in accordance with the criteria in Islam, he said, he knows religion and he practices it, he is educated, and so on.
After all, both my parents strongly agreed that I was with him. When else would someone like that come to propose to me if it wasn't him? I don't want to throw away the diamond, I welcome him well.
"Hm.. Aprrill."
"if April has agreed, tomorrow I will bring a big family and bring money for the wedding later, sir."
"Okay, do you want to come here tomorrow morning, noon, afternoon, or night?"
"I came after Isya's prayer, sir."
"Well, father, mother, and April will await the arrival of you and your family. We'll talk about the wedding date."
"I said yes, sir, I want to give good news to my parents."
"Yes to Pio."
The real me was still shocked to immediately clean the glass and then go into the room with all the questions in my mind.
"So that's brother Pio coming to the house."
"What's up, Pril? How come your face is so confused?"
"Eh, anu, so Pio's brother came to see my parents, and then he conveyed his good intentions."
"Delivering good intentions?"
"Yes, so he wanted to propose to me."
"Huh, seriously Pril?"
"Yeah, why do I boong. Tomorrow he comes back home with his family and money and talks about the date of the wedding."
"Alhamdulillah, finally April did not become a zombie again. Yeayy. Happy April."
"Remain Pril, God's plan is beautiful."
"Yes, God's plan is beautiful."
"Asikkk nih, soon to have a companion, so not alone anymore, hehehe."
"Sttt.. cake don't joke."
"Hahaha yeah, sorry."
Then, my friends celebrate that day, they love to cheer. Happy when his friend gets married.
"Judah so we can't do it? It happens to be Saturday tomorrow, so it's a work holiday. May be Prill, let's help tomorrow."
"Yes, you can do it, the door of the house is always open for all of you. Asiickk."
"Judah I'm bringing you a shirt."
"I went back for a while, Pril, would like to pick up clothes and other equipment."
"Yes, yes, whatever you have, what matters is that you're here again."
That night, the friends accompanied me, I was nervous about dying for tomorrow. I was confused too, I had to say anything.
"Udah Pril, just calm down, you just follow the flow. We will be there too. We'll help you."
"Where to calm down, I've never experienced this."
"I'm not Pril either, so I want to learn from you hehe."
I learned to talk, so nervous my voice became hoarse. My best friend panicked, he ran into the kitchen looking for lemon and squeezed lemon and poured warm water into a cup, then told me to drink it. I followed what he told me, and it got rid of my hoarseness.
The next day, everyone woke up early in the morning. Some have gone to the market, some are preparing cooking tools. Someone is decorating. It's just so busy.
My friends and I also helped. Today, I am called a newlywed, always fed up with my family preparing for the event.
All busy in the day, until nightfall, the dull and sweaty body had turned graceful with makeup polish on the face. Two families have gathered together into one, accompanied by an ustad who will become the mastermind in my show.
"How is Aprilia, are you willing to be his future wife?"
I did not make a sound, I just nodded, because at that time it was a shame to be a matter of attention. The two families also agreed with the proposed date, June 21 I will have a wedding, meaning two more months will be held. That's fast.
Such were the plans of God never before thought, the perfect plan, made with compassion for His servant. Thank you God.
Then you guys must know what happened next, Pio and I are busy preparing for the wedding. Everything went smoothly until now, I was enjoying time together at the beach while thinking about when he first dared to meet my parents.
