morning ...
As usual Elsa does her homework. The sun began to rise, as the day grew. A car entered the grounds of Wijaya's house and parked in the courtyard. Elsa looked inside the house trying to guess who it was.
A male figure that he seemed to recognize walked leisurely towards his uncle's house.
"Hey .. wasn't he the reckless man who lost his son that night?" Lirih Elsa when she saw clearly the figure of a man who was getting closer to her uncle's house.
Marni was surprised to see Elsa staring outwards, she got up from her favorite chair. When he saw who was standing in front of the porch of his house, Marni was so excited it turned out to be her future grandchild husband.
"Assalamu alaikum nak fattah .. lama we did not meet," exclaimed Marni welcoming Fattah.
Fattah was shocked to see the old woman who often met him in the mosque
"your mom ...? mak is here ...? "Fattah astonishment.
"Not my mother .. but grandma .. because you're my grandson's future husband .." said Marni.
Fattah smiled.
Elsa who had stood up earlier to look at and hear the incident just now increasingly dumbfounded. She really did not expect her future husband to be the man she remembered as a careless man.
"Yes Allah .. is there no other man .. why should this careless man, grandma likes him again, hyks hyks hyks ..." Elsa was crying in her heart.
"Elsa .." cried Marni
Elsa wakes up from her daydream.
"Yes nek ..." answered Elsa and immediately approached her grandmother.
"Elsa .. nak Fattah this is. Your future husband," cried Marni.
Elsa was confused not knowing what to do she just lowered her head.
Marni is very happy to see the embarrassed Elsa.
"Elsa .. please make a drink for Fattah's son "pinta Marni.
Elsa nodded and immediately withdrew to the kitchen.
"Let's go Fattah ... enter .." exclaimed Marni.
Fattah put his foot into the house of his future wife. He sat in a long chair near Marni.
Before long Elsa came carrying 3 glasses of warm tea and snack setoples.
Elsa and Fattah were both silent. Either awkward or embarrassed.
Marni talks casually with Fattah. After a long period of stale, the warm tea in the glass began to shrink. Fattah expressed his intention, to invite Elsa out.
Marnie would agree.
After hearing Fattah's invitation and permission from her grandmother, Elsa asked for time to change clothes.
Finished changing clothes, Elsa dragged her feet which felt very heavy to go. Elsa stood next to her grandmother.
Fattah looked at Esa who was now wearing shar'i clothes he was amazed.
"Subhanallah .. there is a virgin child who wants to be the same me who is widower in his heart."
Elsa and Fattah say goodbye to Marni,
before they go they salim at Marni.

"Ohh .. that's .. I thought you were married ...!" replied Fattah coldly.
Hearing Fattah's words Elsa's anger peaked. Somehow like being naked just his taste for Elsa. Seeing the look of anger on Elsa Fattah's face feeling guilty, her words did tend to be insulting. Elsa must have wanted school, just the circumstances did not support her.

"Why are you using your grandmother's judgment measure ...? You also have a size according to your eyes and heart, don't you?" Fattah.
"My an appraiser ...? I am still a child not .. where I understand about the household, therefore also I was not given the opportunity to speak. That's why I believe so much in my grandmother's judgment and resigned to all her decisions" replied Elsa.
