I Leave It To You

Want to Marry No?

Adi PoV's

Like the usual days after from teaching I did not go straight home, but stopped by my parents' shop which was not too far from the school where I taught.

I parked my motorcycle in the store's headquarters owned by my parents and then I stepped my feet closer to my father who was sitting on a long chair of bamboo placed in the front corner of the store while fanning body .

" Assalamualaikum yah ." I said as I stretched out my hand to shake hands with him. I kissed the back of my father's wrinkled hand and sat my body next to my father .

" In .. Would you marry me ?"

The question of the father who arrived - arrived it made me shocked and dumbfounded - dumbfounded to see father. Until my father asked me again I realized that my father was serious about the question.

" Would you not ?"

" Yes want well..who does not want to marry..why did you arrive - suddenly asked like that?"

" So morning. Haji Rojak here buy water gallon , he continued to tell me that his friend was looking for prospective ghosts who memorized the Qur'an and happened to be Hajj Rojak remember that you are a hafidz Qur'an so he came here to nawarin to you maybe you are you want."

Adi breathed heavily after hearing his father's words.

" suff.. Indeed, the father already knew about the ins and outs of his family when the father agreed with the offer of Haji Rojak "

" It's not that I agree with Rojak's hajj offer but if you want I'll find out about the ins and outs of his family from Rojak's hajj "

" I'm anyway up to the father than later already love even not in the blessing of the father" my sulut father who heard my speech just grinned to look at me.

My memories instantly began to go back to the time when I was in college first . Long time ago I was in college even though my appearance was not as cool as a model photo but quite a lot of friends of the opposite sex who like me . It's not that I'm shy but it's the truth. They liked me for my intelligence and besides that also because I was the chairman of the Senate at my University .

And a glimpse of my memory began to fill with the shadow of the beautiful hijab girl who had seized my heart . Her name is Difa Aulia Laksmi we are in the same faculty . Frankly, at that time I had no desire to just find a boyfriend or a mate . My mind at that time just wanted to focus on college so that I could immediately graduate college and find a good job to be able to show my ex's family that I could be successful.

Yes .. I already had a lover . We were married from childhood when we still did not know what love was. As time went on, the seed of love grew in our hearts . Until one day my father's shop was engulfed in the red whiz. That made my father's business go bankrupt. And from then on my beloved's family canceled our match

I who had just experienced a breakup and saw my family's unstable economic situation, began to be encouraged to study harder to get scholarships and also looking for work to help my family's economy . Since then I have been lazy to find a lover .

Several times I got love letters from friends and underclassmen but I never did. I'm not a big selling point but I'm still traumatized by what's called a love affair. I was afraid when I was already in love with someone, but his parents did not approve because of the state of the economy of my family that is fit. That trauma still haunts me.

When I first got to know Difa I was just acting normal, just like I was treating my other girlfriends . Although there was actually another taste in my heart for her when she saw her sweet smile but soon I pat because once again the trauma still affected me .

The kind attitude shown by her sister Difa and her family when I drove her home made my confidence grow . I who had always been in the shadows by deep trauma finally ventured to express love to Difa . And thank God he accepted my feelings of love . Since then we have been in a relationship.

One time Difa revealed to me that after graduating from college she would continue her education abroad like her other brothers. It made me upset because I couldn't see it far from me, so I intended to tie it with the engagement rope .

I have expressed my intentions to Difa and his family, and they accepted my intentions with open arms. I have the blessings of both my parents that I have not yet received. I intend to express it by inviting Difa to meet my family while introducing him to my family.

That day still vividly remembered in my memory when I came home with Difa with me . My mother and sister seemed excited to welcome Difa to our home . I was very happy with the familiarity that was going on between them. We chatted in the living room waiting for the father's arrival from the store, like the day father would usually go home before the dhuhur adhan to rest.

When my father came I expressed my intentions. Dad just kept quiet at that time, then he took me to the yard. He took a stone and gave it to me.

" Eat"

I frowned not understanding father's intentions, until father continued his words .

" Want to be fed what your wife's child will be , want you to eat stones, Wong is still in school already asking for marriage".

" Athaghfirullah father.. I just want a fiancee to marry him after Difa graduated S2 I'm sure by then I already have an established job that can support my family."

" It turns out Difa still want to accept you after he graduated S2 wong you are just a graduate of S1, do not have to think of marriage - just a real college marriage if you have a new job thinking of marriage"

Since then, our relationship has been strained. Difa who assumed that my father did not approve of our relationship slowly but surely began to avoid me. I also began to be lazy to look for a lover again .

" How to not .. in the question from earlier instead of answering even dumb "

I who was daydreaming about my past became shocked - shocked after getting a pat from my father on my shoulder.

"A.. What's yeah.."

" His this is you .. Not married"

" yes . It's up to dad"

" Yes, I'll talk to Haji Rojak later "
