Hahh I didn't expect Dad to take me to the garden. But the garden has been transformed into a place to camp.
And there was already a tent that stood firm. And I was preparing food for us.
''This is a small celebration of your graduation with better grades than you usually get, son.'' Said Father.
I pursed my lips. This father is insulting once.
''Daddy..!! This is also my father's son. I've been trying so hard to give my best to Dad.'' My answer is a little bit sulking.
Mom and Dad laughed.
''You are proud of Mom and Dad. However your values, will not affect our pride and affection for you dear.'' Mother mediates.
We spent the night in the garden. Sleeping in a tent. I really am like a baby again.
***
Tok..
There was a knock on the door. We were in the kitchen helping Mom, errat, more precisely disturbing Mom who was making a cake order. While my father and I were just busy talking about the occasional flour war.
I also ended the war that ravaged Mother's kitchen. You don't mind me and Dad. In fact, if you can capture through his cellphone.
''Who the hell bothers you. Just keep saying I almost won.'' Gertutuku.
''Maybe Mr. Salim son. Yesterday I ordered fish to be cooked, this brings the money later give all.'' Sahut.
I walk towards the door. I opened it, not looking at his face.
''This is the money sir, said Mother, I order i...'' My voice was blocked when I saw who was coming. Not the fishman.
The one I called Sir frowned confusedly, after which laughed after observing my astaghfirullah appearance once.
Dika.
Huaaa why he came when I was like this.
I misbehaved myself, wanting to tidy up which one used to be. All full of flour. What other face.
Oh God..
''Making a cake ? Or taking a bath of flour ?'' He asked with his hands outstretched towards my cheeks, my temples and my hair.
I just stared with eyes watching his face. This sweet treatment can always destroy my feelings.
I realized, I was lulled.
''Easy. Let me clean it myself. Let's enter.'' I was nervous.
I went straight to the kitchen, telling Dad and Mom in front of Dika.
I rushed myself into the room.
After all, I went out of the room to meet my heart. He seems to be joking with Dad. I remembered his words yesterday 'wife'. Oh my goodness, that's so.
I sat next to Dad. And Mother poked out of the kitchen with a cake in her hand. My mother joined me by sitting next to me. I was in the middle of Mom and Dad.
Seen Dika was breathing deeply.
''Well, ma'am, I came here, I have something to say.'' Dika. He glanced at me. My hands are sweating. My heart is already dizco ria.
''What's the son of ?'' Ask Dad.
With eyes that look confident. He came to propose himself. I really appreciate his effort and courage.
Then Father and Mother looked very surprised by Dika's speech. I looked at me for a moment.
''You realize what you said, son ? Are you really serious ?'' Ask Dad.
Dika nodded incantation.
''It's very serious Dad.''
''You how is Syila ?'' This time, my mother asked.
I'm down. Why fret like this. Mom took my hand in her hand to see me look insecure.
''A. I. how about Dad and Mom.'' Reply staggered.
''You listen to my son. Wait until Syila is able to adapt to the capital. Maybe 6 months or 1 year. If indeed you do not believe in a relationship without official ties. You can get engaged first.'' Said Father.
Seen disappointed in Dika's face.
''Not that we want our daughter to continue piling up sins, or that we intend to belittle your good intentions. Just please understand a little, Syila is still a teenager she still has dreams. He wants to go to college. Please let him adapt for a moment to his world. If indeed later he had understood the outside world without his parents, he was able to bury his heart for you. I'm happy to hand over Father's beloved daughter to you.'' Answer Dad straightforwardly.
I don't understand, instead I'm disappointed to hear Dad's answer which is like delaying Dika's good intentions. But in fact I am very happy with the delay of good intentions.
He seemed to think again. Like a ponder of Dad's words.
''Stupid is arranged son, I don't mind if Syila married at a very young age. But what about you later. Can you take care of and guide our daughter ?? She's a girl who never understood the outside world. What else about marriage. He never cried to be by our side.'' Mother continued as if it was really hard to let go of her daughter.
Living the household ark will certainly be many obstacles. There will be a fight. Misunderstand it. The jealousy. And the most far removed from the mind is betrayal. While Syila she is still with unstable emotions. Still with sensitive feelings. Spoiled son his parents. Life full of love. Without understanding to fight. Arsyila's parents were just worried about that.
They were very worried that her daughter was in shock with all the household treats.
They did not escape the quarrel, only, they were able to keep it even from their own daughter. So what Syila has seen so far is only happiness and harmony.
''Well, Mom, I'll wait for him until he's ready for Dad and Mom. I'm ready to replace your roles for Syila.'' Dika's answer still sounds incantation.
Syila was moved to hear it.
''I will prepare everything for this engagement.'' Another imbibing.
Syila's parents just nodded their heads.
''If so I say retreat.'' Connect Dika again.
***
After Dika left, what was once very tense Syila is now getting tense when Mom and Dad put on serious fashion.
Ohh God it feels more when facing graduation.
''Are you sure of your heart, boy ? Convinced that the man who came asked you to be his wife.'' Mother asked. Dad's watching.
Syila lowered her head. His hands interlocked with each other, channeling the various flavors that raged in his heart.
''Are you sure you want to get married young ? You sure you can divide the time between the household and educate you ??'' Ask Mom back.
''I don't know Mom. There was still a little doubt in Syila's heart. He also said it very suddenly. Even I was relieved that Dad gave me time to think and adapt. Because I really wanted to know him first. Because all this time we only connect through cell phones. But I don't think that's the right reason. I don't know if I'm confused myself.'' Honestly answered.
Mom and Dad looked at each other. Then they breathe at the same time.
