I Chose You
22 - Can We Talk?
"If I accept your terms, hand me our wedding date. How?!." Surya asked his own wish.
"I told you, it's up to you Surya."
They also stepped back into the family room. It turns out there's no one.
"Go to the dining room. Looks like we've been in the back garden too long."
"We also have to deliver our conversation to them later." The sentence made Ayu stop his steps turning to Surya.
Ayu nodded slowly.
It will not be as I expected. Ayu muttered to herself.
The dinner together was over, a little light talk happened at the dinner table. Adding warmth and familiarity two families who will soon officially become besan.
Suryapun conveyed the results of the deliberations with Ayu earlier to the parents. However, it should also be discussed with the family.
"What kind of condition is that?!." As Ayu had expected, Aunt Risapun did not agree with the conditions her daughter submitted to her prospective daughter-in-law.
"Marriage is just status?! don't be made fooling around marrying it Ay!." His voice sounded angry. Ayu could only duck while squeezing the sky blue dress she was wearing.
"Mama also does not agree you split the house if you are married, must be together!. How can you learn to serve each other if you're not together?!." The follow-up words from his mother, had even made his eyes heat up. The Queen's Mother's word seems inviolable.
Hhhh I should have remembered. When it comes to this matchmaking, Mama is transformed into a coercive handyman.
"Darling... " Looking at her silent daughter-in-law, Aunt Nisa grabbed the girl's hand. Gently handle it, channeling warmth. Ayu looked at her hand held, then turned on her beautiful Mama-in-law's face.
"You can continue your education. Even you and Surya can go to college together, side by side without any worries over your line all this time - little Auntie told your Mama about it, so proud to have a daughter-in-law like you-Sit's quiet for a while
"These parents must be calm if you're married, able to look after each other and serve." Aunt Nisa spoke so softly to her future daughter-in-law. While Surya just kept silent while staring at Ayu. The look in his eyes said what his heart was feeling right now.
"You can also choose to postpone the baby first, if that is what you are worried about this marriage. Right said your mom just now, marriage can't be made into toys." Ayupun nodded while replying to his mother-in-law's hand.
Ah at least I'll have a meek mother-in-law like Aunt Nisa.
"Yasudah.. Om's daughter-in-law will live in an apartment with Surya. Husband and wife must have one roof, son. Separate the room first. There are two rooms." This time it was Om Haryo.
One roof, one room should be Pa. Eh? I will be able to khilaf dong. Surya muttered in his heart.
"No pa-pa, you hold Sur first." And still had time Om Haryo tease his son, making Surya can only smile awkwardly. Remembering his own thoughts.
"Eh? if you are both ready and not pa-pa times Pa sleep together, there are special ways to delay pregnancy. Outside, is it Sur?." Aunt Nisa with her santay asked, making one table gawk.
What kind of talk is this. Ayu's face blushed hearing that.
"This mama, look at our daughter-in-law so embarrassed." The atmosphere that was tense earlier, seemed to have started to melt.
"If Ayu leaves, Mama is alone. How's it?." Ayu is still trying to find a gap to stay here, in her own house.
"So Mala's plan is to stay here, we talked about it." Dismissed is hope.
"If for the latter condition, Surya strongly agrees Aunt. Our marriage was known to the core family scope only first. We are still in school."
"Oh yes-yes. If that's Auntie also agrees baby... " Aunty Risma sumringah answered her future daughter-in-law.
Hah actually whose son Mama is me or Surya. Very soft with prospective ghosts.
The parents could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Even Surya seemed to have whispered the wedding date of his choice.
"Why really agree with the date Surya chose?." Aunt Nisa is back to make sure.
"Yes Tan, Ayu agrees." Although the two conditions were not met, but it was Mama herself who did not agree. Never mind, Ayu thought.
Before returning home, Aunt Nisa who was so happy that she hugged Ayu so tightly, kissed the girl many times.
Not yet official...
I closed the main door.
Seeing the Mama who was breathing slowly, Ayu understood, she had made her mother think.
"You're Ay, why did you ask to cancel all the engagement? make mama almost hangers. Moreover, the unreasonable terms you requested."
"Well, why did you answer yes earlier when asked by Mbak Nisa? Just one more month you've been telling me shit."
"Me and Surya made a deal together behind Ma."
"Oh that. Mercifully. Mama's relieved that way. Remember, no more dramas later."
"Yes Ma... "
*****
The next day when I got home from school...
Ayu frowned. When he opened the gate, he was surprised by some people who passed by. Enter the living room there is also busy arranging a table and several chairs. The family room has been transformed into a flower garden. The dominant white and purple flowers were scattered everywhere.
"Sir, what's wrong?." Mala has not been home since yesterday.
"Prepared for your show later malem is." Ayu gawking.
"What's the way, brother?." Ayu panic. Don't tell---
"Your wedding Ayu. You agreed last night?." His eyes are perfectly round.
Ap- what?! Later tonight?! Really this?!...
"Why you, baby? that's bengong?." The mother approached the brothers who were talking. He noticed his youngest daughter was even dumbstruck like a dazed person.
"This is actually his wedding later, Ma malem?." Still trying to find certainty.
"Loh yeah. You said you had an argument with Surya last night?."
"But he-but
Arrghh I think at least one more week. Is this... tonight?!
"This is your deal, enter your room. There's a mother who'll help you clean up."
"Come on. Brother Anterin to your room." Mala pulled the wrist of her sister who was reluctant to step.
Will I get married tonight? with Surya?!
