Love Because of Obligation

Visiting the Uncle

Dad picked up the TV remote, tracked down his favorite family comedy show while Iyan was ready to meet his friends outside.

Anwar took Arsyad's bed, put Arsyad to sleep in the middle of the room so that he could freely move his hands and feet to the left to the right and most often to the top, kicking his feet into the air.

Arsyad, who was only three months old, was able to respond to what he saw and heard, as now his father asked him to talk and rubbed his feet "aa. a. a..." arsyad responded with a sweet smile.

"Arshad..."

"woaa..." Arsyad raised his hand in the air to reach the hand of his grandfather called father who was stretched out in front of him.

Mom and Aira came from the kitchen. Aira brought two cups of coffee to be given to her husband and father. Aira put on the sofa table.

"Mas, drink the coffee first..."

"hm..."

"hek.. hek.." Arsyad's voice saw Aira.

"Ra, Arsyad thirsts for his appearance .." the mother who wants to carry a grandchild does not hear Arsyad's suggestion.

"yes ma'am, here unfortunately mama... carried first yes..."

Father also moved to sit on the sofa which was also followed by Anwar. Mom sat to the left of the father. Both of them took and sipped their drinks.

"Hem.... How about Anwar's work, did it improve?" dad opened the conversation after drinking a sip of coffee.

"Thank God, better than usual..." Anwar is not usually talkative.

"Oh yes, regarding your plan that Aira conveyed we support her..."

" Thank you, father..." Anwar straightened his back to a tidy sit with both palms into his pants pocket.

"But first you have to ask Uncle Aira for permission, so they can help take care of everything..."

"Huhhh...why do I have to deal with them again anyway" annoyed Anwar who was hidden in his heart.

"Because it is our village tradition, every bad good that happens we are under the responsibility of the elders of the wife" explained the father who knew what he thought was referring to his son-in-law's complaint.

Indeed, in areas that adhere to the matrilineal kinship system as in this area, the highest power holder in the family is the brother of the mother who is usually called uncle, and husbands are just people who come to protect their adult daughters.

Aira's thinking is actually very contrary to the rules that he thinks curb it because that's why since school he dreamed of being able to mate from the city alone, he said, but his dream must end when Anwar conveys his heart to one of his relatives.

Time passed by the day after getting the father's approval and taking into account it carefully a week later after being ready for dinner Anwar and Aira visited the house of Aira's uncle, the eldest sister of Lela's mother because all the decisions in her family were decisive.

Arsyad stayed with his father, mother and Sifa who happened to be without homework.

The trip they took only 20 minutes, on the way Anwar and Aira discussed again how to talk to the arrogant uncle Aira to eliminate their awkwardness that always occurs when together.

"Assalamu'alaikum .." said Anwar along with Aira after standing at the door of the uncle's house. It happened that the door opened just now Sisi's cousin Aira came out of the house.

"waalaikumsalam.. uh Aira, Anwar ayok entered, Arsyad really did not come.'' said uncle's wife. in the custom of the village of Aira guests will be awkward to enter the house if there is no stale base from the owner of the house.

"Arsyad was booby, bi..."

"Hem.." uncle cleared his throat to see the ponakan and the ghost means aunty should not linger there.

"Oh. please son Anwar, Aira. auntie make you drink first..."

"No need to bi, we're just ready to eat..."

Aunty left the three of them because in this case uncle's wife was forbidden to interfere.
