If Love Could Choose

Matchmaking

Vishnu stepped slowly around room after room of the house that used to be very familiar with it. Not much has changed. The most noticeable change is Yunia... Marked by the photos on the wall. Starting from the figure of a cute little boy to turn into a beautiful girl.

Unknowingly Vishnu's smile was held back. His eyes looked at a picture of three children playing Lego. The biggest child was himself, the other son was his sister Bayu, and the only daughter was Yunia.

He remembered, after taking a picture, Yunia cried to the point of rolling around, because her toy Lego accidentally stepped on Vishnu until it broke.

Ah, it was like just a few days had passed.... Now Yunia wants to graduate High School, Bayu will have completed S1 and he can already manage his father's company.

Yeah, I've got to rest now. It was time, he, as the eldest son took over the responsibilities of the father over his family. And now, father, as soon as he used to call his father Yunia gave him additional responsibilities. Vishnu is asked to marry Yunia.

Given the father's request, making Vishnu must take a deep breath. What a complicated request.

"Assynolt...." Greetings from the front. Although he had not seen the person, but Vishnu still memorized the voice. That's Yunia's voice. He has come home from school.

There were greetings from some people sitting in the front room.

"Gee... There are a lot of people... Sorry for the greeting later... I'll pee first..." There was the sound of Yunia with a loud tone, followed by the sound of rapid steps approaching Vishnu.

"Hi, mas... Sorry. Shall it be later..." Yunia said while grinning, when she saw Vishnu. After that he rushed to the bathroom at the back of the house. Vishnu until gawking did not have time to say anything so quickly Yunia ran.

Shortly after, Yunia returned. Still wearing his uniform. But the school bag had already been thrown into a long bench in front of the bathroom.

"It's been a while, ma'am?" Sapa Yunia while extending her hand to greet Vishnu. For a moment Vishnu stared at Yunia's outstretched hand.

"Wash your hands yet?" His instantaneous questioning made Yunia look upset.

"Abroad! I think I'm a slovenly person! I was washing clean, using scented soap! Just delicious...." Omel Yunia ketus, Vishnu laughed at Yunia's anger.

"Bye, ah!" Yunia said annoyed, she hingga so salaman with Vishnu, the abandonment of Vishnu who was still laughing to meet the people he had passed in the front room.

There were Vishnu's parents with his sister. There are also neighbors who live on the right, left, front and back of Yunia's house...

"Eh?! What is this. How about rame amet...?" Thought Yunia. Are they going to feed Vishnu's family? Yes, Vishnu's family used to live in front of Yunia's house. In fact, a few years, Vishnu and Bayu became adopted children of Yunia's parents, before Yunia was born.

"Kok don't change clothes, Yun?" Tanya Bik Sumi, Yunia's mother's sister. Bik Sumi's house hoses two houses to the right of Yunia's house, but since Yunia's mother died when the girl was eight years old, Bik Sumi is more often at Yunia's house. Helping the father take care of Yunia and home needs.

"Just a second, Bik." Reply Yunia. He went to greet the neighbors and kissed the hands of all the older people.

"When do I kiss my hands, Yun?" Ask Vishnu who turned out to follow Yunia to the front room. His lips were moving withholding laughter. Seeing Vishnu's expression made Yunia look down.

"No!" His mouth was tight while throwing his face away. Vishnu laughed again. The people who saw Vishnu tempted Yunia to laugh. Yunia's lips pursed. He slammed his body into a chair next to his father.

Father stroked Yunia's head crest full of affection.

"Yun.... Something you want to say ..." Said when things started to calm down.

"Do you remember what you said last night?" Ask your father before answering Yunia's question. Yunia was silent for a moment. His eyes swept across everyone present in the room.

Yunia recalled, last night the father said, if you intend to match Yunia immediately, because of the poor health of the father in recent months. Actually, it wasn't just last night that you were alluding to that. But since months ago. Precisely because over time, Yunia forgot about it, until last night the father again mentioned it.

"On that..." Yunia suddenly got groggy because of it. His eyes swept back to the people around him. There are a lot of people here. Even the close neighbors are there. Time to talk about it now? Be ashamed...

The gentle smiling father understood the feelings of his daughter.

"What you want to ask... Is your answer still? Not changed?" Ask the father while stroking Yunia's head. A moment Yunia looked at my father's face. The face of someone who loved him so much.

Father in his illness, still thinking about the safety of Yunia. Yesterday night I said, if before you leave, you will find someone who can continue his responsibility to take care of Yunia. So I asked, would he be married? At that time Yunia said, if you just feel too worried.

"Mother must be healed..." He said repeatedly. But father insisted.

"No one knows, baby.... You just don't want to leave you alone without accompanying...." The father's reply instantly broke into the water dam in Yunia's eyes.

"Yunia manut (\=nurut) what the father said..." Yunia finally answered. Father smiled.

"Now.... " The father said then while looking at Vishnu's family alternately. " ... Here is Mr. Winoto's family. Your family knows you well, too..."

Until here, Yunia's feelings are immediately uncomfortable. His eyes were directed at Bayu and Vishnu alternately. Don't-don't ....

DAR!

"... I want you to marry Vishnu..." My words are like lightning during the day.

Don't you?! Right, alleged Yunia?! He wants to be betrothed to one of Mr. Winoto's children. Suddenly Yunia's eyes locked on Vishnu's eyes who was also looking at her.

"... how? Is there something you're gonna say?" Ask father. But this time it felt so far away in Yunia's ears. His whole mind suddenly stuck. He was busy thinking to himself ... This really?

"... Vishnu.... You've heard Yunia's words... Is there anything you want to say?" Ask the father again now turned to Vishnu.

"Nothing, sir." Vishnu answered while breaking eye contact with Yunia, he turned to face the father.

"In that case, there are enough witnesses here, let's finish it now..." Said.

Heard the words of the father, like a command for those who sit there. Soon they took up their position.

Uncle sat next to my father. Vishnu sat in front of the father flanked by his father and sister. Some of the other male guests sat somewhat pulled over not far from them. Bik Sumi got up to Yunia and guided her into the room with Vishnu's mother and several other female neighbors. The rest retreated backwards.

Yunia is still not connected to what happened. He was betrothed to Vishnu? Okay up to here he can still follow. But the change in the sitting formation was suspicious....

Suddenly Yunia's stomach felt mules for no definite reason, while cold sweat began to come out from her nape and palms......
