Love Because of Obligation

Family Request

Today at her workplace school Aira is holding a gotong royong event with students.teachers are watching while talking between one and the other. Aira chose to sit at the base of a large tree with Bu Tia which she called Kak Tia.

Sister Tia is the same age as her biological sister Iyan and is not married. Sister Tia is very indifferent with men so she has no serious boyfriend.The people around do not dare to talk about it. if anyone talks about her and reaches her ears, she said, then he will meet the man and torment him with words that are spicy beyond the spiciness of samba lado.

Bu Tia is very good at examining the problems of people especially the shy like Aira. For example this time he asked the extent of Aira's relationship with Haris, whatever Aira did while dating Haris even she asked how Aira felt staying at Haris' house.

Aira who innocently recounts all the events during her relationship with Haris, Tia's sister who never experienced such times felt amused herself. then she teased Aira again "ye, you are Aira, you are, the pretentious here is also Tomi's recommendation with Bobi!"

"ah, sister Tia what the hell.I think of them as big brother, really!" aira's yelling pushed Tia's shoulder.

"his older brother's time is so great" his god is "uh, but like Tomi really has a crush on you, you know!" he added.

"don't make ge er deh, sis" replied Aira who actually also knew that Tomi had expressed her love for him.

"Aira, all this time there are many guys who like you, and you don't want to marry young, so?" tia started to ask seriously

"It's better that anyway, sis. than long ago like this fear later, most zina hearts and eyes" Aira twirled the flowers he held. Aira felt comfortable talking to Tia until she opened all her secrets.

"What kind of man are you waiting for, anyway?" it's like interrogating a suspect.

"I will accept whoever my father and mother approve of" Aira's voice softly but clearly heard in Tia's ears.

"Ah, if I were you mah, I would decide for myself my future husband" said sister Tia who did not like the attitude of Aira always resigned and relented.

"Yes, how else, brother, I don't want to

people ruin the family's good name" Aira seemed to ask Tia for an opinion.

"The words of the people need not be heard, the important thing is to do what is best for ourselves!" Tia was getting pity to see Aira.

In the afternoon Aira's mother's brother gathered at home. Aira was astonished at what was happening, usually her uncle went home if there were any family problems to be resolved.

Mother asked Aira to serve snacks and drinks for her uncle and father.mother also sat among them. After serving drinks Aira who was afraid to interfere in the affairs of the parents immediately stood up. but his oldest uncle got in the way.

"Sit here for a minute!" he asked, "we are gathered here at the request of your father and mother, because as the saying goes, the son of a big father niece of uncle" said the uncle, who was a ruler and a village leader. everyone obeyed his advice.

"Look, since you are already an adult, you certainly know what is best for you and do not damage the good name of our family which is very respected by the community.we first want to ask, we ask, have you made a promise or have a candidate of your own?" the other two uncles mother's and father's sister scatter their heads while the father rests his head on the wall while staring at Aira full of hope.

"no, uncle" Aira who had not prepared herself reflexes replied.There was nothing Aira thought about at that time other than giving Answers that did not make her parents and uncle angry.

"If there really isn't. we want to know if someone proposed to you, are you ready to accept?" asked uncle in a flat voice.

Aira did not give an answer, because if she refused for sure all those who sat in this circle would immediately scold her. if she answered agreed she did not know who the man was. he saw the face of my father who was expecting to quickly have a daughter-in-law.

"Because you are just silent means we consider to agree, after all, the husband-to-be is a hard worker, he really loves his parents who will certainly also love you later" advised uncle.

"Mean, in two weeks, the family can ask us to come to you, prepare yourself as mature as possible!" added Faisal's uncle's sister's mother.

"Well, it's okay to speed up, because good things have to be quickened" the father gave his opinion.

Not long after that they chatted about arranging a proposal from the men and closed the meeting with good news for them. but for Aira this was all so difficult that it could not be expressed in words. He asked for permission and left the family association immediately in his room.

As usual before going to bed Aira did the night worship first and now added with the prayer istikharah asking for instructions to be given kindness for his decision.
