For three days I stayed at home. Abi and Umi won't let me out of the house. Even if it goes to school. I don't know, if things end up like this in the end. People attacked me, saying that I was not a good girl. But it's all my fault, I've made a mistake. This is my punishment, but why my family is also in the law.
This morning, abi and umi did not come home from the mosque after the dawn prayer, whether they went where, I had prepared breakfast for them. To be honest, all this made me very tortured, I was stressed thinking about all the words of many people.
Long enough I waited for abi and umi, before long I heard umi coming and immediately busy in the kitchen. Umi's still quiet, not talking to me. It really makes me more guilty. I'm sure that Umi was disappointed with me.
"Umi, where's abi?" ask me 'cause I can't bear to know where my abi is
"There's still business" she replied briefly, but her tone was mediocre.
I chose silence, even though I wanted to cry. I kept trying to help Umi in the kitchen, even though I didn't think I existed.
Before long, Abi came but he immediately entered the room and locked her. Umi had run, but could not catch abi, he had already closed and locked the door of his room.
"Mas, breakfast first" Call umi while typing the door.
"Later on, don't bother me" replied Abi from inside the room.
Hearing abi's reply, Umi immediately cried. He did not look at me, then went to brother zaka's room.he also immediately locked the door.
Just the rest of me, I can't stand all this. I was hysterical in front of Abi's room. I forgot all about it, how bad I am right now. I'm alone, no one wants to understand my heart. I was the one most affected by the public's talk.
I'm getting mad at myself. It's all my fault, it's all because of me. It hurts my heart when everyone dumps me.
But my cries did not make my parents out, I went into the room and locked myself there. I lay my body on the bed, I hugged the stuffed rabbit which managed to make me feel calm even a little. Until I was unconscious, and I woke up to the knocking of the door.
"Sabrina, open up dear" a bang adam voice called out to me.
"Sabrina, this is abi darling. Let's open" abi was there too.
My body was limp, because I haven't eaten anything since morning. When I wake up, sit on the edge of the bed. My eyes immediately blurred, after which I did not know what happened.
When I opened my eyes, I saw my brother smiling at me. There are a lot of people there too. There's an uncle, aunty, umi, bang adam, and I'm wrinkling my forehead. The man smiled at me.
"Assalamualaikum, Sabrina" His greeting
"Waalaikumsalam" I answered while thinking about who the man was. I've seen each other, but I forgot.
"So, we'll just wait outside"
Everyone just came out of my room. Only Abi was still there.
"Mas, I prepared food for Salman's gus first"
"Yes"
Well, after hearing her. I just remembered that he is Gus Salman, his friend bang Adam.
"Dear Sabrina, forgive abi. Abi shouldn't have acted like that"
"No, bi. Sabrina is wrong. Please forgive Sabrina"
"No, baby, you're not wrong. Abu knew it"
I hugged my abi, crying on his chest. How calm is my heart after crying in his arms.
"You take a bath, baby, out there, Gus Salman wants to see you"
I looked at my abi with a question mark.
"Sabrina, Gus Salman would like to ask you a few things" Rupa, my abi knows the meaning of my gaze.
"Where is it, bi?" I'm still confused
"He wants to taaruf with you, Sabrina"
Duars..
Bummer.
So surprised.
"Taaruf?"
"Do you not want to, dear?" Ask my brother with a disappointed look.
I immediately answered him, according to him this time is a better thing.
Abi smiled to me "It's just taaruf dear, still question and answer stage. You can either reject her or accept her later"
I silently stared, rethinking my last words before he left my room.
...****************...
I went out with my brother to the living room of my house. There was an uncle, kyai baburuddin and the others.I also sat next to Abi, right in front of Gus Salman. I looked down because I was so embarrassed, my face was made sure it was very ugly, because my eyes were swollen from crying all day.
"Please Salman" said my uncle, who I know has begun this question and answer session.
"Sabrina, what are your ideals?"
The question is very difficult.
"Objectives are related to work, so I don't have goals to achieve"
"Why don't you want to achieve your goals?"
"I just don't want any ambition in my heart, let it go according to destiny. My only job is to keep learning and keep trying"
I said, everyone seems to be smiling. I was still silent, was my answer so ridiculous that they all smiled revealing their teeth.
"Sabrina, please it's your turn to ask" said my uncle
I was confused as to what to ask, my mind was completely blank.
"Sabrina doesn't want to ask anything, uncle" I said directly.
"Alright, Jalil" Kyai babrudin said. I became deg deg an once heard his voice.
"Since we left home, we've decided to ask Sabrina to be our daughter-in-law"
I heard him straight up.
"Alright, we'll be ready whenever his application" said the uncle.
"But Sabrina hasn't said Mau, uncle"
Everyone looked at me, what was wrong I said.
"Sabrina was right, Kyai Jalil." Gus Salman said, looking at me with a smile.
But my uncle's face was like his, angry. My brother can also just be quiet.
"I still want to pray isikharoh. It's a wedding, I just want the best"
"That's right" Kyai baburuddin said with a laugh. "The future wife of Sholeha, this" she continued while nudging her child, then I saw Gus Salman smiling shyly.
After eating together, I went straight into the room. I was really disappointed with my uncle who forced me to accept Gus Salman. I cried when I found out that my marriage was going to be held for another month, and that meant I was going to quit school.
"Sabrina"
I turned my head, I saw my abi standing in the doorway of my room.
"You crying?" she asked in panic, approaching me
"Abi, Sabrina wants to go to school first"
"Abi is also confused, baby, your image is already very ugly in the eyes of the community. God willing this marriage can finish all of it and restore your image"
I hugged Abi while crying
"The real rabbi doesn't want to force you dear, but his circumstances did force abi to choose all of this"
My cries are breaking more and more hearing her.
"But if you don't want to marry Gus Salman. You can ask Exel to propose to you, abi will accept whomever you choose"
Degs...
Seriate...
