"assalamualaikum" said someone from the outside.
"greetings waalaikum" answered me who was in the guest room alone.I walked towards the door of the house that was deliberately opened.
"kyai ahmad has gus?" ask the middle-aged man.
"let's go in" my son invited them into the house.
"sorry excuse me for a moment to call my brother" said my saying, they just nodded their heads. I went straight into the house to call my brother.
"there are guests in front" I said to abah. abah smiled. abah and ummi immediately walked up to them
"let's go with you" asked ummi, and I just nodded.
"assalamualaikum" said abah
"waalaikumsalam ya shodiki (my friend's name)" abah and he shook hands with each other as well as uumi and the middle-aged woman.
"son, salim first" said abah to me. I was confused who they were if only abah's friend, not usually ummi meet him and tell me to shake hands with him. I also approached them and kissed their hands
"sorry ahmad, not polite but I can't take long, because I have to take my child"
"yes it's okay. This I want to continue the chat on the phone yesterday about our child" said abah. I was shocked and immediately understood my intention. so they are my future in-laws.
"sorry mad, not unwilling to introduce him to you, but my son is different from the others.he does not really like the frills ning (son kyai), he prefers to be an ordinary santri. that's why every time I meet you don't want to come, he said let alone sowan"
"what about your son, does he agree with this matchmaking?"
"yes he agreed"
"sorry before, last night I got a call from yemen if I have to go back there in 2 weeks and can only come back here next year because there is something I have to do there"
"yes, that means you get married next week, after that you can go to Yemen, and after your wife is done with the business in the cottage, you can go there"
"what about his devotion?" much
"yes she will continue to serve in the boarding school and she is your wife zak. automatically she will serve here"
"let's just war, how if today zaky follow his nafisya father nganterin to his place, later you can chat in the car to strengthen your hearts"
"yes, at least you've met before the wedding"
"may I see a photo of your daughter mad?" asked kyai anwar. abah immediately looked for a photo of nafisya on his phone and gave it to kyai anwar. after kyai anwar saw him give the photo to his wife.
"mashallah, whether this happens to be what it is, at that time he had been to ndalem join one of the ustadzah and ummi felt very determined with her, it turned out to be a ummi ghost candidate"
"yeah if that's what we'll excuse you first. it's like already want to leave. permission yes want to take zaky for a moment"
"just bring it home later to be picked up by the driver at the terminal"
After shaking hands, my friend and I went straight out of the house mbak hana.
"sorry, can I just wait in the car"
"yes, son, let's get you to the car"
"dad same nak zaky wait in the car just let the ummah who wait fisya here" after that, me and me directly to his car.
