"Hi, Auntie," I said.
My youngest aunt immediately smiled and gave me a hug. A hug that I had always liked a lot, because my aunt had a strong but gentle kind of hug that made everything seem better, a generous treatment that needed to be tasted and enjoyed. But that does not mean I am a person who is very fond of hugs and wants to be embraced by anyone, I just like the hugs of people who love me. Especially the hug from Reza, it was the most comfortable hug I've ever felt, just as comfortable as my mother's hug. "I hope Auntie doesn't mind because I stopped by without telling you first."
"Of course not, honey. After all, you haven't stopped by here in a long time, when you've been, right, to Bogor?" he said while holding me in.
I wasn't in the mood to wander, so I decided to visit my aunt's house. Luckily Raline and Raheel were at home, and it was even more fun that they were peeling fruits and had prepared spices. It's one of my luck after going through some things that triggered emotions on this long day.
"Well, now look at you." My aunt grabbed my shoulder and held me as far away, her eyes squinted. "Hmm. geez. There's something serious in your mind. Come on, let's sit down, let's go down and listen to you tell a story."
I nodded with a slight wry smile. "What story do you want, Tant? There's nothing, really," I said.
"Don't lie. Aunt knows you from when you're still red. This hand cleans your first pup. You know, Auntie can read you as easily as a book. You carry a weight as heavy as the world has come, and don't try to protest. Now tell Auntie -- everything."
Right, it's not a good idea that I refuse, just like my mother - I can't keep anything from my aunt, even though Raline and Raheel are there. No problem, they also understand what happened in my life since childhood until now - a life that is very different from their lives are abundant. Including about the complete affection of both parents.
They listened to me seriously while I told them all about Reza and Salsya, they stopped me from asking once in a while. "So what should I do?"
"Leave and choose Bang Aris" the youngest Raheel answered me with a toilet.
Well. this is a child. Really too. Sadistic!
My aunt immediately looked at her youngest daughter, followed by Raline who immediately stuck her head. But that's how Raheel is, Aris is very pampering for him, so he loves Aris as much as he loves his two brothers, Rafasya and Randika
"It's actually kind of complicated, yeah, honey, 'cause this happened to you. Sorry, the girl who grew up in a broken home family, which is because of the past you become traumatized. Once in love something like this happens. But Aunty could not comment, because Auntie did not know Reza. Auntie doesn't know how her character is."
I wiped a large piece of young mango until my face smirked because of its sour taste. I am a hobby of poetry, especially if the heart is upset and angry. Spicy, sour and sweet taste becomes its own medicine to calm bubbling anger.
My aunt got up to get some water from the fridge. "Follow your heart" he said. "If your heart wants to be with Reza, just fight. Who knows what will happen in the future. Hopefully Reza can keep his loyalty."
Following the heart? The problem is that my heart is twice as confused as my head. Hows it?
I'm shaking. "That's hard, Tant. From now on it has been seen that Mas Reza will not release me that easily. Especially after marriage."
Raline who had been listening while enjoying her speech suddenly immediately thought. He put his elbow to the table, folded his hand then propped his chin up on it. "Never seen the movie When Cinta Bertasbih first season, no?" tanyakanya.
I thought for a moment, I remembered the title of the movie and felt like I had seen it. But I need to remember - which movie it is, who the player is, and how the story goes. "It used to be, once. Why?"
"Don't you remember the details of the story?"
I'm shaking. "Had forgotten. Just remember the outline of the story," I explained.
Raline also tells about the role of Oki Setiana Dewi as Anna who proposed premarital conditions when she was proposed by Furqon played by Andi Arsyil, the condition: as long as Anna was alive and able to carry out her duties as a wife - so Furqon could not remarry - she could not marry another woman. And that condition became the legal condition of the marriage contract and Anna's legal as a wife for Furqon as long as Furqon qualified. "There is no harm if Mbak put forward such conditions. If finally Mas Reza denied, then by itself Mbak free and become haram for him, because it means he has dropped talak against Mbak. Mbak may even add that the condition does not apply if Mbak has given him permission to polygamy, such as - amit-amit - - if Mbak is seriously ill, sick, or can not give offspring. You can revoke that condition. I think that's the right solution. How's it?"
Waw! My aunt and I exchanged glances with raised eyebrows. Even Raheel, who had been chewing until he was choking, heard the exposure of his sister's view.
"Mazing...!" aunt exclaims. "Mommy's son is really an adult."
Raheel who had downed the remaining water in his glass immediately clapped his hands excitedly.
"Trims, Honey." I hugged Raline warmly and the moment was immortalized by my aunt. I never knew there was an adult figure behind his young age.
Raline nodded. "I know how much Mbak loves Mas Reza, and I also know that Mbak is much stronger than he seems. If -- but amit-amit baby, yes - if at any time the marriage is not as beautiful as we expect, Mbak can definitely get through it all, because Mbak is exactly like Mother, Mother, a tough woman and mother, who is strong and as loud as a rock, right?"
"Right," my aunt said. "Everything, we as women must be smart to make money even though we are also busy taking care of the family. Even though our husbands provide for our needs, we must have our own savings. If one day we meet a man like your father who takes responsibility for his children, we can still stand alone to provide for our children. I hope Reza isn't like that, won't be like your father."
"Aamiin..," the three of us compactly agreed to the loving woman's speech.
And, yeah, I think this is the best solution for me. I hope....
