HUSBAND PROBLEM
About Restu
“I understand. How about you, do you mind?”
Getting questions like that made Jean go silent. To be honest, Jean is not ready to get married, let alone take care of children. He was just about to graduate. The plan after his graduation was to continue his education to S2 level because he wanted to immediately open a psychologist practice clinic.
However, if Selma wants her to get married soon, Jean can do nothing but obey her. During her life, Selma never sued Jean for anything. Always listen to Jean's opinion well and release her according to Jean's own wishes as long as Selma is good and right. How is it that when Selma first asked her for something, Jean dared to refuse while she was always free in her opinion and achieve her goals.
Although Jean has not been able to realize his goals, but Jean even soon will graduate. Isn't it enough for him to learn about psychology?
“Jeannie.”
Jean breaks her daydream when she hears Shaka's voice next to her.
“What's up?” ask Shaka.
Jean smiled thinly, “Nothing. Just think for a minute.”
Shaka leaned his body on the chair. His head looked up, staring at the tree branch. “You mind, yes?”
“Soal?”
“Stupid,”
“No.”
Shaka straightened his body. He turned his attention back to Jean. “What did you say?” Shaka asked back as if his hearing was troubled.
“No.” Repeated Jean.
“Jean, listen. I don't want you to be forced into this matchmaking. You have the right to choose your future. I'll talk to my mom and Mama Selma if you mind.” Shaka tried to understand Jean.
To be honest Shaka really hopes Jean agrees and does not reject this matchmaking. But Shaka must remember, Jean is entitled to her choice. Therefore he did not want to force for Jean's happiness.
Not that Shaka will let Jean go. Shaka will approach Jean slowly and naturally without any help from anyone. So that when Jean likes him, Shaka will progress slowly. Starting from dating-engaged-to-married.
Jean took a deep breath and looked at Shaka with a smile on her lips. “I didn't have to and don't mind, Shaka.” Steady speech.
Shaka looked at Jean with a look of disbelief, “You're serious?”
Jean nodded still with her smile.
Shaka who saw it suddenly made his heart as if it was poured various kinds of flowers and butterflies so happy. Even if he could, he would jump for joy and hug Jean as tightly as he could.
Withstands. Calm down, Shaka. You have to be a cool guy once in a while.
Shaka held himself back with all his might. His lips even twitched so much that he could not help but smile.
“What made you accept this matchmaking?” shaka asked, trying to calm down.
Jean seemed silent for a moment and replied, “Because of blessing.”
“Restu?”
"Before discussing that, I'd like to ask." Jean looked at Shaka.
"Say,"
"Did your father give me his blessing?" tanyakanya.
Jean nodded with a look forward. “Married is something sacred. Marriage also requires the blessing of both parties. Your family and also my family.”
Jean turned her head, looked at Shaka and continued, “Your family and my family gave our blessing to both of us, there is a do’a which of course will accompany us throughout our future marriage, isn't that enough of an excuse for a wedding?”
The answer that Shaka never expected and expected would be heard from Jean's little lips. Jean so interpreted a marriage very well and sacred to make Shaka stunned for a moment with the mindset of the girl who was so mature.
How much Shaka likes Jean right now. No, Shaka was very sure he had fallen deeply with love as his foundation.
***
“You're back.” Her mother's greeting made Jean who was just about to climb the steps of the stairs to her room almost slip by surprise.
“Where is my son-in-law?” Selma asked again.
“What's home?”
Jean looked at Selma with her hands folded in her chest. “It looks like Mama really likes Shaka, huh?”
“Of course. Who doesn't like Shaka. You like it too, right?” Selma walked to the refrigerator.
Jean frowned at Selma's question, “No.”
“Not no, Jean. But not yet.”
“Why does Mama seem so sure that I will like Shaka?” Jean leaned her body against the stairs.
“Because you're going to marry him. You may not love her yet, but Mama is sure you won't take long to love Shaka. Mama just liked Shaka, you didn't.” Selma said at length while eating strawberries that she took in the refrigerator earlier.
It seems like Jean's decision not to reject her match with Shaka is the right thing to see how Selma likes Shaka so much. In fact, what he knows, Selma just got to know Shaka. How could his mother have liked Shaka to this extent?
Jean admits that Shaka is handsome, his body is proportionate. Shaka is the number one successful young CEO with fantastic wealth in the country. True said his mother, who does not like handsome and rich men like Shaka.
On the subject of wealth, Jean knew Selma well. Selma never looked at a person with her degree. No matter rich or poor. Selma never made a big deal about it. Evidently, Jean's circle of friendship since childhood has never been questioned by Selma as long as they are good. Even during Junior High School some of Jean's financially strapped best friends, Selma secretly helps her with Zian, her father.
Really, they are the two ideal parents who are so admired and perhaps so much in the hopes of some 'brokenhome' kids out there.
How could Jean refuse his match if his parents were this good. Jean thought, this is just a match. After all, just like he said earlier when he was with Shaka. Selma likes and blesses Shaka as her future daughter-in-law as well as Shaka's two parents who give her blessing. Wasn't it enough for her to accept this match.
After all, Jean had never introduced a single man to Selma as her lover. What if one day she introduces someone and asks Selma for her blessing but Selma doesn't like it. And worse, what if Jean loved the man so much that he would act rashly for the sake of someone he loved and would hurt Selma. That is why blessing is so important when it comes to marriage.
Jean does not know Shaka well, but she believes in her mother's choice.
Selma wouldn't like Shaka if the guy wasn't nice, would she?
***
Shaka shut the door of his car then took his phone from inside his jacket pocket.
“Find me a nice and romantic restaurant. I'm going to propose to Jean soon. You prepare as best you can.”
Shaka closed the phone. Then leaned his body on the chair while sighing deeply. His hands touched his left chest. He could feel that his heart was still beating rapidly. Word for word Jean was still ringing in his mind.
How much Shaka loves Jean right now. Let Jean not love him. Shaka promises to treat Jean as best he can, so Shaka hopes she will love him later.
Hope so.
