Love is Different
Chapter 61. Confident
After the departure of the princess for a long time and then followed the departure of Pakde Roki for a long time made me worse. Not to mention I'm still struggling with my grades so I can quickly koass.
"What about you after you don't have any eyes?" I asked on my way to campus.
"Riri wants when? It's gonna be a test soon, right?" Ask Adi.
"God willing, next year I will be able to take a test. Keep passing the young doctor."
"That means we can get married next year?" Ask Adi without saying anything.
I felt Adi was proposing to me but it was more spontaneous without any romantic words.
"Hmm God willing Ka.. His name is married worship Ka.. God waged it all.."
"Amiiiin.."
I'm happy and still grieving because my family is reduced to tubi. But regret is also in the chest. I should have been married by the time my daughter and Pakde Roki were alive. But it is the will of God Almighty. I can't regret it.

"Gue wants to tell you the same story as Myth." I called Mytha because I was confused where to tell you about this.
"What story Ri?" Reply Mytha in chat.
"So this morning Adi asked me to marry."
"Aren't they serious about you?"
"Yes, but it was not clear when the marriage of Myth."
"Keep continuing?"
"Yes I'm confused honestly.. Because this is the position I just grieved. The Princess died, her Papa Vienna also followed. My tears are still wet but Adi wants to marry me."
"Why do you even think because you are out of grief so you are confused if you want to marry Adi? I don't understand.."
"I'm sorry why Adi just wanted to marry me when Eyang is not there anyway."
"You can't know how to talk about Ri... It was God's fate that the Princess died."
"Yeah.. But yesterday, Bude Tari said that right before he was still in the ICU conscious, he wanted me to marry Adi. Wanna watch... That's what makes me feel good."
"Oh Bude Tari says it's the same with you?"
"Yes... I'm being thought. Eh this arrived - arrived after eyang died I was sad aja eyang can not see firsthand if I married Adi."
"You are the Way of Allah Ri... You can't regret it.."
"Yesa Myth... May my relationship with Adi be the best.."
"Permaine.. I doain the best anyway for you guys."
"Thank you, Myth."
My feelings are different indeed when Mytha and Pran know Adi, I know they are like less clicks with my choice. Because they're the ones I always tell you that Adi's gay. But they really appreciate my choice. I don't know if my family knows Adi is gay, maybe look observant naked eyes will know the motion - Adi's movements are different from most men. His style is weaker and prefers to spend his time at the gym. It was obvious that one understood that he was not a normal man. But I tried to be sure to choose him because I love his family despite the problems in it. I would be willing to be medicine and therapy for him if he really wanted to be serious about turning into a normal man.

"Ma.. Yesterday I got married." I answered when Mama and I were sitting together in front of the TV.
"Huh? Seriously you?" Ask Mama with a happy tone.
"It's serious. Time to joke me..."
"Keep answering what? Don't tell me you want to finish the doctor first??"
"No, Ma.. Yes I said Bismillah InsyaAllah may everything be made easier. Education is our relationship."
"Alhamdulillah.. Keep when?"
"Yes later he permission first Mama Bapak continue there may be a meeting - the next meeting.."
"Udah speaking?"

"You shouldn't be rambling - tele that dong. If you are sure you say yes, God willing I am ready Ka. It's."
"Yes, I want everything to go well, Ma.. His name is a man who wants to marry from anywhere.."
"Yeshi. Yaudah at least you should plan with her."
"Yes Ma..."
"I have a plan how and what the process is Ma.. Later the discussion will be with Adi."
"Judah you should be sure first Ri... It's married, the business is the worship of a lifetime."
"Yeah God willing, I'm sure I have the same choice. Bismillah.."
"Alhamdulillah."

"Assalamualaikum.. Auntie..." Sapa Adi while you are watering the plants.
"Walaikumsalam Di, come in." Answer me kindly.
Adi came in and sat in the guest chair, Mama sprightly in neat clothes.
"Sir, dong flush the plant. This is Adi talking seriously." My mother from the living room.
"Yes yes.." He answered and then turned off the water faucet and went in to change the trousers.
"Oh the aunt, justin. We just relax.. This is Adi not long either.. Let Riri go, all of you." Answer Adi.
"Let's go, Om is really the guy." Answer Mama.
You also came to the living room.
"What do you want to drink?" My toot.
"Yaampun is a distant guest.. The house next door, too." Adi answered with a joke.
"Who should be in suguhin dong." Sahut Mama's.
He laughed, "What the hell.." Answer Adi.
"Judah I made you first." I went straight to the kitchen.
"Healthy om?" Ask Adi at the opening.
"Alhamdulillah... Why would?" Ask me directly to the point.
"Gini Om's.. Adi's relationship with Riri was long enough. Already annual... Adi's intention to be serious with Riri." Adi replied somewhat stammered like nervous.
Father nodded. I came to bring you 4 cups of warm sweet tea. And I saw my father's maata like glass. Either you are happy or sad when Adi proposes to me at home.
"Where's Sir?" Ask Mama.
Father sighed.
"The plan is Adi wants to marry Riri next year Om..." Adi continued.
"Yaa if Adi is steady and ready to marry Riri and Ririnya also have accepted Om can only bless you and pray for it..." Answer Mr. slowly.
"Kalo Aunty join Om aja and how Riri is willing or not to marry Adi." Sahut Mama's.
I smiled, "God willing I accept Adi's proposal." Reply slowly.
"Alhamdulillah.." Adi answered while rubbing his face with both hands.
"So for the event plans and so on Om and Aunty leave it to Adi and Riri ya..." Answer Mama.
"There will be a stage Aunty, because we are from a different cultural tribe.. Aunt. Later after this Adi will tell Mama and Papa that Adi is serious about marrying Riri next year. Well later Papa same Mama permission again to the same house Adi. Then later there will be the stage Riri will bring Adi to the house of Om Ilyas his father the twins. Because in our culture, Om was reared. The highest is its degree. Because he will be Adi's guardian in addition to Papa. Because Adi is Mama's bloodline. If Minang's a child of Mother's lineage." Adi Clear.
"Oh yaudah later we follow the procedure and later there are Javanese customs there are also customary minang yaa.." Answer Mama.
"Yes Aunt... We can talk about it again." Answer Adi.
"Judek.." Reply slowly.
"Jaudah Om Aunty, that's all Adi wants to convey. Maybe for the next stage later, Om and Aunt." Adi said.
"His tea first." Sahut.
"Oh yes, Om.." Adi sipped the tea little by little to leave a quarter cup. "Of.. Aunties... Adi wants to take Riri down the road today..." Adi continued after finishing sipping his tea.
"Don't malem - malems come home.." Sahut.
"Yes, it's ready.." Adi replied and salim Mama and Father's hands.
"Depart yaa Ma.. Mr..." I answered with salim Mama and Father.
"Same Papa went ya Di?" Ask Mama.
"Iyaa Aunty, go to the sodara house in the depok. But Adi's not coming, males. So take Riri away.." Answer Adi.
"Well, why males?" Ask Mama.
"Males denger Aunty's question. When's this? So how is Riri...?? That's aunty. That's why Adi avoids it, Mama and Papa already understand. So Mama and Papa went with Ka Ani and her family. Most later if Adi asked where to say go with Adi." Answer Adi at length.
Mama just laughed.
"Jaudah go aunty.. Om.. Assalamualaikum." Hail Adi.
"Assynoltomodel.." My salutations.
"Getishalam." Mama and Father answered.
The first part has passed, Adi asked permission Mama and Father will marry me next year. I'm getting more and more convinced to be ready to marry Adi. There are still many next stages that Adi and I have to go through. I don't know if Adi and I can get through it or if we'll give up?
