RENATA POV
I went into papa Jea's room, and I greeted my parents one by one, my mom and dad. While kissing papa's hand, I just scrunched my forehead, I looked at his face, there was a strange slide in my heart. What's the matter?
Jea was already sitting on the sofa, with his head resting on the sofa, the sleeves of the shirt were already exposed to the elbows. Very sad, tired in the office, plus sad about the health of the father.
Vino and Sita were sitting next to Mama who seemed to be chatting with my father and mother. There was the rest of the empty space on the sofa just near Jea, and I decided to sit next to her.
I patted his back gently, he stuttered, probably falling asleep a while ago. I looked at his tired face as well as he looked at my face with a faint smile.
"Why is it so hot?" aska whispered.
"From this morning." He replied slowly while rubbing his eyes.
"What does the doctor say?"
"The situation is stable only the heat is not down, but it has been given a heat sink as well. If the heat doesn't go down until midnight, take it to the ICU again." Clearly slowly.
Hufh.I let out a short breath. "Well eat?" ask me on Jea and she just shook her head, right also kayak gini circumstances where maybe appetite. "Want to eat in the cafeteria?" bargain again.
"No need!"
"Ntar you're sick!"
Maybe my voice sounded mama, she said to me, "Take her eat, Ta. It's withered."
"What the hell, Ma." Reject Jea politely.
"Will I eat with you?" Babe Vino.
"Add no taste." Jea was upset.
"That's it, I've got Renata removed."
"Did bewit me." Sambar Jea throws a sofa cushion at Vino.
"Eat first before ijab!" chirps Mother. I directly looked at him. What ijab?
Mama came straight to me and clasped my hand, she sobbed. I'm getting confused. I got Jea but she looked away.
"You want to marry Jea now?"
Sita and I were shocked, we glared together. Even my father and mother seemed silent and nodded. What the fuck.
"Mama knows this is too soon for you, there is a reasonable doubt, but mama please before papa leave.." he quietly turned to the husband who looked at him also with a smile. Although the oxygen hose blocked that smile. "Let Jea fulfill her father's wish by marrying you."
Tests
My tears are falling. I don't know what I cried for, I should be happy to have a husband who dared to ask my father and mother, and he agreed. I'm very willing to get married but it's not like this. I don't know if Jea loves me yet, or if she's obsessed with getting me or just a temporary escape from the stress of thinking about her papa.
I was silent, still silent. Mind fucked. But when I rubbed my hand on Jea slowly, I turned my head and looked at her. "It is not acceptable that if you are not ready, I will not force you." Sincerely speaking.
Oh Allah.......
Substances that turn the heart. Am I wrong to refuse to marry because of conditions that are not in accordance with my wishes? If I refuse him, will I get a man as good as him someday?
I just smiled at Jea, she forced a smile too. Lying that I don't feel sorry for Jea, it's hypocritical that I don't admit that there's affection for the young man, even if it's a small one. Is this what you call a soul mate? this is a situation that is often said by people, long courtship will lose to a soul mate who meets in just seconds. And I experienced it.
I've never had a taste for Jea before, even though we had one KKN together. I severely limit my relationships with men. But now, when there are good men, earnest, and intending to marry me should I refuse. It would be stupid until that happened.
Although my heart did not want this soon, but my logic still went well, I realized there was no second chance given by God as it is today. Moreover, seeing the father and mother who are so fond of Jea, can I disappoint him.
Bismilbornrahmanirrahim, I recited basmalah before making a decision, well maybe this is the best decision for all. "Ma, sir, ma'am, sis, God willing I'm ready to get married now."
Final decision. The mother beside me immediately hugged me, I looked at the tired faces of my smiling father and mother. Vino just gave a thumbs up while my best friend cried until as much as he pleased. Screaming Jea, she just looked down, her two clutched hands were placed on her thighs, her shoulders were up and down I'm sure she was crying.
Right after the Maghrib prayers all gathered, even Mita was already in this inhouse room. Papa with a blank look kept looking at me. Vino called ustadz who was visiting the mosque near the hospital. I was accompanied by Sita and my mother.
"I'm sure you don't want to make up first, I bring powder and lipstick loh." Sita offered me, because my face looked pale and haphazard.
"No, I'm fine." I answered slowly, and I still use the face. I asked when Ijab would let me use this face, and my mother agreed. Wrapping up is better.
Exactly 18:30
With my father's own guardian, the doctor and nurse, Vino and Mr. Tarmin, the Jea family driver, as witnesses. My marriage to Jea took place in front of my bed.
Brother Jea Andra Sanjaya bin Sanjaya Hadikusuma, I marry and marry you to my biological daughter, Renata Adzkiya bint Handoko Purwanto, with a dowry of 750 thousand rupiah, paid in cash. Said my father firmly while shaking Jea's hand.
I accepted the marriage and marriage of Renata Adzkiya bint Handoko Purwanto with the dowry paid in cash. Replied Jea firmly in one breath.
"Huh?" utadz told the witnesses.
SAH, the witnesses answered firmly.
The barakallah...... Mr. Ustadz began to recite the wedding prayer, and we put our hands together, assuring all the prayers chanted for the blessing of my household and Jea. Ijab Qabul not until 10 minutes managed to change my life.
My tears were shed, I was hugged by mother and Sita, they were both crying. My father, who a few minutes ago married me, seemed to wipe away tears.
I opened my face and kissed Jea's hand. Again my tears fell as the back of his hand kissed,
Thank you for choosing me to be your companion, God willing our marriage will be happy, sadinah mawadah warahmah. Aamiins. My mind also prays for the happiness of this marriage.
Now that Jea kissed me on the forehead, so warm was her kiss that she might pray for the happiness of this marriage.
I looked at my parents one by one. Mama, papa, father and lastly my mother. I embraced him, asking for his blessing to live this household. Hugging me, she whispered, "Now trust me, mother's laughter if you get married now."
Astaghfirullah ibuukuuuuuuuuu
