Love Without But
surround the city
***
A clear Saturday morning is a special day for me. Because today will be the guest of a man who will propose and make me a companion for life.
All hope and long wait seemed to be answered already on this day. Last night these eyes could hardly be closed because the heart and mind drifted out of nowhere imagining tomorrow.
This morning I was struggling in the kitchen preparing a special cuisine request - and Mas Agung who has been gentleman to propose to a halal bond. Orek tempe kecap, fish cob balado suir, I prepared for lunch menu later.
The clock on the wall shows ten o'clock in the morning The person who was waiting finally came was also welcomed by Abah and and some of the elders of the village to talk about things that I myself did not understand.
After Mas Agung expressed the intention that his second arrival was intending to propose to me. Abah also gave advice or rather asked Mas Agung to be willing at once directly held the ijab kobul event in the near future.
Because according to Abah, the good thing is not good to be delayed. Or either because he felt so happy his heart was a man who came to propose to his daughter.
Mas Agung gasped for a moment after hearing Abah's request. He did not expect that the response of his future father-in-law was so enthusiastic and asked him to marry me in the near future.
Though the original plan at this time Mas Agung only intends to apply. As for speeding towards marriage he intends to prepare it first for the next six months. Like I've talked to before. But it turns out everything is outside its own planning.
Between looking happy and a little hesitant, Mas Agung finally agreed and agreed to Abah's request. After that, he asked for approval from his own family.
The determination of H day falls on next Friday, or approximately one week from the application event. I feel like this is all a dream that in a week's time will leave single and change one hundred to become a wife.
After the chat is considered finished and enough Mother allows her guests to have lunch together.

I was tidying up the dirty dishes from that lunch in the kitchen. When Mas Agung was about to go to the bathroom to take ablution we passed by. There was a subtle sigh within his chest as he looked at the figure of a man standing towering right before me.
Wrapped in a long-sleeved purple batik shirt and matching color trousers Mas Agung looks very mature and charismatic. His hair cut short neatly combed the more perfect look good.
"Why was the wife-to-be busy in the kitchen?" Mas Agung asked half-temptingly.
My cheeks felt like they were heating up, holding back the embarrassment of hearing the question of that tall-nosed man who in a matter of days would become my priest.
"Eng ... no, what, Brother himself why use stray here?" I answered while giving an original question.
"Where are you going to the bathroom, huh?"
"It's true, what's the talk of doang, huh?"
"Yes .. only once the bathroom has moved," he continued.

After the application event as well as determine the day H for the future of the family Mas Agung pampit to immediately go home and will start preparing everything from now on because they have to take care of correspondence from his hometown different provinces with my area of residence.
In my room I was alone. Thinking of someone who has long given hope but has not given certainty until now. Until now I have asked to be a companion for life.
One side of my heart felt flowery when there was a man who had dared to come to Mother and Abah to propose, but on the other hand my little heart hesitates and feels guilty to Iwan who until now has not known about me if my current status has become a prospective wife of another man.
I can only regret the attitude of Iwan who was too confident with his thoughts that I would definitely wait for him until he graduated from the pesantren. In fact, I really look forward to a man who is ready to choose to make as a wife.
News about my wedding day has also spread widely to the countryside.
"Ekhem .. there's a smell of bullshit, euy!" Such expressions are usually addressed to people who will soon get married. And I have started to hear such a sentence directed at me by some who are flirting. I just responded with a smile.
"Horee .. persiden jomblowati village finally want to marry too!" Must be paraded around this village mah, let it be festive." Lyra exclaimed in her arms while I was playing at her house.
"Ish, what the hell, lo, I am a circumcision bride what use the event paraded around the village of all," said I throw both eyeballs towards Lyra who was folding clothes.
"But honestly, yes, Dhin, actually, I'm sad to know, because now you want to get married."
"Lha, instead of being happy and happy, my friend wants to do it, it's sad. Giman the hell, lo, Ra?" I said throw a pile of clothes at Lyra.
"Yes, obviously I'm sad. Later if you're married and brought to your husband's place, we will not be able to cook and eat boiled noodles together again, you can not go every night again in my room," lyra poured out her heart.
Lyra's concern is not without reason, because we are both so familiar and close from the time Lyra sat in high school until now she has been sitting in college majoring in English at UNMA campus. The largest university in the city of Pandeglang. Moreover, Lyra and I one colleague taught in elementary school.Together with him became more tight and intense. As if they cannot be separated from each other. Always support each other and provide solutions to each other's problems.
"Yes, later, right, I'm also coming back here, Ra."
"But it is still different, if you are married, you will definitely be busy with your husband rather than spending time with them" replied Lyra.
"Eh, betewe, you already ngabarin Kak Iwan belom if you already want to marry Mas Agung?" ask Lyra to remind.
" Not yet, Ra," I replied shortly.
"What a fact, lo? Buruan tell you, do not let Kak Iwan later yearsya after you become the legal wife of another man, can be as neat as later lo children people."
Be continuous..,
