Love (Not) Owned

Proposing

"you are married there has not been a week you cook, do you want to go back ?" ask mommy at breakfast

"iya ma'am sorry yes, if the holidays over time I think the mas kasian mas Dimas back and forth work must be more and more, if I myself have permission weekly" said brother Zahra

" Abah I'm sorry Dimas too soon bring Zahra back to Medan, there are some deadline jobs that can not be handled ama temen office, there are some deadlines, Abah and I don't mind if we leave this morning ?"

"i'm sorry, it should be, wife follows husband everywhere she goes, and remember Zahra wherever you go out must be your husband's permission because the wife's sins are borne by her husband, but on the contrary the sin of the husband is not in the wife's responsibility, your every move is a burden to your husband both in the world and in the hereafter "

"iya Abah "

"and Dimas's son if out just need to tell not to let his wife wait anxiously without news"

"prepare bah"

"so where are you guys going to live ?"

"i had bought Bah's house before we got married because my intention was that after marriage I should live alone"

"Alhamdulillah if Abah was happy to hear "

Another Abah also Mother, Abah steadfastly released her son to come with her husband but not with the mother.

His eyes have been dewy since. From Laila's brother Nadrah and now Zahra's sister she always thought of her daughters when brought by her husband.

Any mother would be hard to let go of her son. You can't stay away from your child for too long.

I can't imagine how my turn came.

Remember very well when I went to college in Makassar, my mother was the most opposed to my decision, very heavy at that time. Enough alot until Abah who had to persuade mother.

Moreover, I choose not to go home at all while in college, eating her thirds of the month mother always comes to visit.

Finished packing bg Dimas take the suitcases and put them in his car. We went to the terrace of the house and mother could no longer withstand the tightness and tears.

"mom, Zahra just moved house like a boarding house, just think so mom let's not sad, besides me and Dimas will often come to visit as usual mom, ma'am, please don't cry"

"bu Dimas promised me that I would care for and love Zahra like my mother and Abah did all this time"

"forgive the mother who still can not fully release the night Dimas, mother is only not accustomed Insha Allah the sincere mother's prayer is always with you two, she said, you're fine there if there's a difference of understanding, get it done"

" Mum this is your third daughter, there's still one of your unmarried daughters so don't waste your tears leaving it to your big boy's shofie, later even Abah who is crying like a gini mother if your tears are no longer there" Abah's tease that makes the atmosphere melt

" well, you guys be careful, always tell me mom comes often you always miss"

" yes ma'am" they answered

"hey you are my favorite sister take good care of them do not leave them both if you do not want to have a sister again" said brother Zahra who immediately made Abah and mother misbehaved

" ready brother"

" yes you have left now more and more jammed later in the day"

Abah right there is still me who is not married, and it seems like I have not seen my soul mate until now.

After they left, I went to school.

During the break, my mother told me that Hendra and her parents were at home.

I looked at their faces alternately looking at me with a smile.

"shofie, the whereabouts of son Hendra and his parents here anyone would like to convey to you, please ask directly with his son" said Abah please

"let's say shofie om and aunt came here to accompany Hendra, with the intention to propose you as his wife, because he's been feeling the same way for a long time and he even told me that he used to propose to you but you're still not ready and now we're here to propose again"

I can't say anything still shocked still can't believe he still hopes I'll accept it, or maybe this is what Malik meant at the time and this is also what makes him careless.

shof, shofie calls Mom wake me up

"ahh yes ma'am, how" I replied in shock

"so what is your answer to Hendra's request, are you willing to accept this proposal ?"

it felt like there was something in my throat that it was hard to talk.

"emm I don't know about aunt, I have no thoughts of getting married at this time and I just think of Hendra as my best friend" I replied clumsy

"you want until when like this shof you don't think of yourself ?" this time Hendra spoke

"just because I think of myself, I don't want to make hasty decisions, I don't want to get married because of pressure and even because of age"

"then what about old man shof ? at least for them"

"i'm sorry about the wedding I had a discussion with my parents first" I said

"right son Hendra, shofie has talked about this before to us, we do not want him to marry just because of us but married on his own will" said the mother

"indra sorry yes I have not been able to find your application, I am sure someday there will be a better woman than me ndra, I will not be able to accept your application, om aunty sorry shofie ya can not be full of requests om and aunt, shofie is afraid if he accepts it because of insistence like this will be uncomfortable later shofie can not tan" said I looked at his mother

"no papa shofie aunt knows, you don't try not to be happy that yes, you actually married it must be our will with the man of our choice who is comfortable in us, maybe indeed someday Hendra will get a better wife than you and you will also get a better husband" said his mother

"soul mate sustenance death all has been arranged we just pick him up just the way we do like in son Hendra this pick up a mate also no harm is important has tried the problem received or no business later before the yellow janur curved yakan nak Hendra ?" Abah mediates.

"shof I'm sorry if my arrival shocked you and so ruined your mood, I hope after this our relationship stays the same as it used to be, I don't want to because of this we keep our distance" said Hendra

"no papa hen, I get it, we're still friends like we used to be" I replied

"already if it's more comfortable shofie boy friend no problem, don't forget aunt shofie occasionally play dong to Jogja yes, yes, then please excuse me first, sir, ma'am easily hopefully at another time and the opportunity we can meet again" said his mother while shaking hands

After they returned my mother also directly introgasi me

"are you papa shof ?" ask mom

"no papa ma'am, I look sick huh"

"yeah you're in good health, I mean your feelings"

"ahh mother why became a kepo sii, mom since I knew him I have no intention to have more feelings for him, she said, he is a good boy not neko-neko but indeed I can not accept his guess which is more than just a friend"

"daughter of the same mother Abah does not get tired of advising you so that you do not close your heart too long to accept men son"

"yes ma'am I understand thank you for all the advice that you don't get tired of saying, ma'am one day I must have married like another mother's child but not now ya ma'am"

"yes I believe you want me to also believe you will be happy with your own choices"
