Lurah Pondokku Candidate My Husband

12. Courage comes from nowhere

With a nod of spite, I ventured to face Nur's parents. After arriving at Sasak, I immediately walked. If you wait for a long time, after walking for 15 minutes, Nur finally came also with his motorcycle.

The joy of seeing him pick me up I can't describe in words. He seemed to be in disbelief at my arrival. It still looks syock. I held out my hand and she kissed me. There is nothing happiest about this.

Nur got off the bike and handed the wheel to me. " Spirits, this is the beginning of the struggle for my love for you" Bathinku smiled at Nur.

There was no conversation between us during this trip. Each one was busy with his own thoughts. I don't know where the courage is from, I got to this village. For the sake of asking a girl for me to bet on her parents. Still feels like a dream to me. But it's real, and Nur is right behind me, as dirty as I am.

It didn't take long, we arrived at Nur's house. The house is simple but large enough for a house in the countryside.

My arrival was warmly welcomed by mamah and papah Nur. I immediately kissed her hand, the parent I would ask her daughter to be my future wife, the mother of my children.

Mr. Kiai has warned me that I must come home today, not to stay here. Whatever happens later, I must hold fast to the trust of Mr. Kiai.

" Assalamualaikum sir, introductions, my name is Alimudin, I'm an overseas child, who is away from the parents. Coming to the island of Java in order to mondok, studying religion" I was silent for a moment and then I continued what I meant by coming to this house.

" I'm sorry sir, when my arrival bothers you. As for my intentions, I came to ask the father's daughter, to make me my future wife. If in the future, there are other men who ask Nur, please tell me that I have told Nur as my future wife, I love Nur, since the first time I saw him, I love Nur, a visit to my cottage" plong felt, after saying what I had to say. Whatever the outcome I leave to God.

" How long have you known my son?" I don't see any confusion in his eyes. I saw him welcoming me with open arms. Surya said that Nur's papa was fierce and firm, broken by me today. He was very friendly and accepted me with open arms.

" Not long ago, when the first day Nur set foot in the boarding school where I studied, that's when I first met him" I replied as is.

I saw him nodding in understanding what I was saying.

"I don't know what makes you love my daughter, but I leave everything to her. I don't want to force my will" I nodded and agreed with what he said.

" Thank God I came here was at Nur's request" then I handed the letter that Nur gave at that time to him.

He opened and read the letter and believed what I was saying.

" Well, how does Nak Ali go about this meeting now? " ask him while looking at me.

" Are you in no hurry? You also just know each other, I think it is better if there is enough time to be able to understand each other." I agree with what he said.

" Marriage is part of worship, if there is a candidate and the ability, then immediately is the law. This is to prevent slander and adultery of the heart" I said confidently and steadily.

" In Islam there is no dating term, illegal law. Nur also told me that she was not looking for a boyfriend, but a husband. That's the thing I admire about him, one understanding with me." I'm still trying to convince him that our marriage doesn't have to wait too long.

" Well I accept the good intentions of Nak Ali, me and my extended family, waiting for the arrival of your family to follow up on our meeting today" after the official business is over. I feel very relieved.

from my arrival in this house to my return I have not seen Nur at all. She just came out of her room after I said goodbye. He looked sad because I just went home, after the business was over. He tried to persuade me to stay the night that it was too late to go home.

But I remember Abah Kiai's message that I have to go home tonight, no matter what.

" Well at home, wait for me to come with the family to propose, okay?" I see him differently today, spoiled I feel.

He took my hand and sulked, asking me to let go, but I could not break what Abah Kiai had entrusted me with that I should go home.

With a heavy heart, I went home with between by my father-in-law's prospective to the slash market. He waited until I got the bus to Purwokerto, I repeatedly told him to go home because it was very late, but he insisted to accompany me until I got the bus.

After getting the bus, I kissed his palm and said goodbye. I saw him coming home on his bike too.

I give endless thanks, because my business is very smooth. Although only capitalized bismilbornrahmanirrahim, I will finally continue our relationship to a more serious level that is marriage. It's really very happy.

Tomorrow I will convey to my parents in Sulawesi that my proposal has been accepted, just wait for the official proposal from the family and discuss the time and procedure of the marriage later.

Because I was so tired I finally fell asleep on the bus, and reached Purwokerto at dawn. Lebaran Eid ul Fitr this year feels very different, because I have now become a prospective husband of a girl I like since I first saw her .

Although a simple girl but she is included in the criteria of my dream, the girl who can keep her Marwah as a woman by not associating with other types. During my stay at the cottage, I noticed he spent more time in the room and very rarely went out at night. It was rare for a student like her, who was definitely the friends of many who used to go out at night.
