How Matcha Love You's

Make a Decision

Salma had just arrived in front of her house. He pulled the bike over, then went into the house.

“Assalamu’alaikum.” Salma said as she walked into the house.

Salma was surprised by the whereabouts of her parents sitting in the guest chair and looking at her.

“Wa’laikumussalam.” Answer Salma's parents.

“Come from where?” Ask me to see Salma.

At once Salma's heart trembled, though intending to tell his relationship with Malik back to his father and mother. But for now, he did not have the courage. Salma felt that she was not ready to say that because her parents might be the same, she would feel disappointed when Salma told her the truth.

Salma tried to think of the right thing to be an answer to your question. Which is an answer that does not make his parents disappointed, but he also does not lie. Salma continued to rotate the brain, in this short and unpredictable time his mind felt deadlocked, unable to think.

“I...” Salma tried to open the word, although in fact he has not found the answer that feels right.

“Aduh.” Salma dropped the key.

Salma stopped continuing her words and lowered her head to pick up the keys to her downed motorcycle. Salma tried to calm herself down in the middle of a short time while taking the keys to her bike. “Already.” Thought Salma resigned.

Salma would say something as soon as possible and she gave up whatever would be her parents' next question after hearing this answer later, Salma would just do the same, she said, trying to think of the best answer again.

“I went to see a friend.” Salma replied without hesitation after she was already in an upright standing position.

Ms. Fatma who heard her daughter's short answer felt choked. The look on his face suddenly changed, he looked worried as well as angry. Ms. Fatma lowered her head, feeling that the things she feared would actually happen. She had actually found out Salma was back with Malik. but he never told me because he still hoped Salma only met without the same feelings as two years ago with a young man who he did not really hate, he said, but he hated if his son chose to live with the young man. Ms. Fatma was not satisfied with Salma's answer, she wanted to shut up and ask something more.

When Ms. Fatma wanted to say something, suddenly the Father grabbed her hand as if giving a sign to let her child this time. Seeing the Father who seemed to prevent it, Ms. Fatma also undoes her intentions.

No different from Ms. Fatma, I also feel Salma is hiding something that might disappoint them. From a few weeks ago, as you passed the street in front of Malik's house, he saw Malik keep coming on Saturday. Although not so concerned with one of the residents of this village, but the fact that Malik who previously always returned home every school holiday was almost known to all villagers. You feel uncomfortable, especially seeing his daughter lately always out on her day off work.

But you don't want to force Salma to say things she hasn't wanted to say. I believe my daughter will do her best this time. To be honest, you do not mind if indeed Salma again wants to ask for blessing to be with Malik. He knew his daughter who had been trying not to disappoint them as a parent. Although he never intended to marry his son to one of the villagers here, but considering he had tried to prevent but his daughter still could not find someone else. He was sure his daughter's choice was the best. If Salma was so adamant about being with Malik, he would have had a reason to make himself confident about his choice.

“Oh.” I interrupted hearing his daughter's answer.

Salma, who was ready to think about the answer to her parents' next question, was suddenly surprised by her father's short answer. He felt a little calm and chose to immediately enter his room.

“Sgratitude.” He thought, stepping into his room.

“Pak, you sure it's okay to silence it like this?” Ask Ms. Fatma worriedly. He was worried about what he had just done because he had let his daughter go and did not ask for more details about what she actually did when she left on Sunday.

“He is an adult, he will say it himself when he feels it is ready.” Answer Father. He believed his daughter would be able to choose the right course of action.

Ms. Fatma felt that she was unable to contain the worries she had been enduring. He doesn't want it all to drag on. He wants you to act early so that Salma does not continue to hope for Malik who until now he continues to not want.

“Looks like he's with Malik.” Said Ms. Fatma.

Hearing his wife's words, the feeling of disappointment was still felt. Although he was thinking of handing over all the decisions to his daughter, yet it seemed that his heart could not fully accept that. He breathed his breath slowly.

“Seems like? That was just our guess.” You try to evade, and still hope that is not the reality that actually happened.

“I saw on instagram that they went together to Nanda” proposal said Ms. Fatma looked upset.

“Isn't that a month ago?” Mr. ascertaining.

“Iya.” Answer mom down.

Does that mean his daughter was already with Malik from a month ago? Father felt troubled, but he remained in his stance. If indeed later his daughter will ask permission to return with Malik, he will expand his heart and choose to give in to his daughter's decision.

“What will we do if ... Malik comes back here?” Madam Fatma looked at you seriously.

He took his breath slowly, then exhaled it. He knew that his decision might upset his wife, but it was the best decision for his daughter.

“We will allow it.”

“What?” Ms. Fatma looks in disbelief.

“If he comes back here, it means he has more courage than the first one he did. It also means he has more reasons so take that decision.” Answer Father.

“At least he still respects us, even though he desperately wants Salma and knows we are against him, he continues to need our blessing. If he's not a good person, can't he be without our blessing he still insist? Moreover, our son Salma also seems to like it very much.” Then, Father steadied his heart. He tried to say something that might open his wife's heart to give up all Salma's decisions to live with anyone.

Behind the door of her room, Salma continued to pay attention to her parents' words. “Alhamdulillah.” Salma was grateful and relieved to hear the words of her parents who would not oppose the decision anymore.
