Married by Promise

First night

Mila and Vanessa have stepped into the ward of Mr. Sarman, Irman and Ms. Saniah who are in the room staring at Mila.

Mila is trying hard to what will happen next. Mila stepped casually, she tried to calm herself down so as not to disappoint the grandfather who had raised her from childhood.

Meanwhile, Mr. Sarman looked at Mila with hopeful eyes. Her heart that was so afraid that Mila would not come to see her that night had been slightly healed by the presence of Mila who came wearing a red robe with a white hijab. Behind him runs Vanessa who uses a red shirt mixed with checkered motifs that are also white. Vanessa is not yet wearing a hijab like Mila, but her bright white face is still attractive to anyone who sees her.

Irman watched Mila and Vanessa, taking a deep breath and getting ready for a long argument with the grandfather who raised her. He realized, his mother would not want to argue long with Mr. Sarman because of what they had experienced.

‘Hopefully grandfather will not impose his will on Mila, Mila is already very depressed like’ inner Irman saw the length of Mila's face.

Mila had gotten close to her grandfather, she no longer cared about the other people who were also in the room. His eyes were only fixed on the eyes of his grandfather who looked at him expectantly. Without even realizing it, her tears had been shed.

Mila had been facing her grandfather very closely, her hands rubbing gently on his grandfather's face,

“sorry cake, Mila came a bit late” he said gently to Mr. Sarman.

Mr. Sarman quietly did not answer, he swept the tears that had been bathed in the eyes of Mila, Mr. Sarman himself realized, that this was a heavy thing for Mila, he said, but somehow he was so sure that Mila would feel happiness if he had married Arya. There is a belief that has grown in Arya from their two meetings.

“grandfather no longer need to worry about Mila, Mila will follow all the wishes of grandfather”

mila said steadily and firmly, although her heart was sliced with pain when she said it, her tears came back.

Mila tries to hold the pain in the heart that she feels ‘bang Arnes, may all of God radiate her inner’.

Everyone in the room gasped in shock, disbelieving the words

Mila, only Vanessa seemed a little calm, she breathed a deep breath while closing her eyes, ‘hopefully everything went as her inner’ planned.

Irman see what Vanessa ‘ is doingwhat is this? why is Mila like this, was not she still sad this morning did not want to accept this grandfather's request, is it possible that her feelings can change so soon?’ inner Irman. While Saniah's mother could only shed tears, she was completely unable to see her daughter who had to endure the pain in her heart.

“Thank you very much dear, thank you very much” said Mr. Sarman while kissing the hand of Mila who had rubbed his face.

“but cake, After this and next Mila will use this” said Mila, he took out the veil he had held.

Mr. Sarman saw what Mila put out, ‘it seems Mila is not really sincerely accept this all’ inner Mr. Sarman. Mila then wears a veil in front of her grandfather as well as everyone who is there.

‘what was Mila planning?, did she think the man would reject her because of the veil

that?, but I have held Arya promise promise, which surely he keep’ Inner sir Sarman inhale long breath from his breathing apparatus.

Mr. Sarman pulled Mila's hand, he clasped Mila's head and hugged her into his lap, “do what this you do Mil, grandfather will not ask

anything other than this” said Mr. Sarman softly.

Mila held back her tears in the lap of Mr. Sarman, her heart really hoping that her grandfather's chosen man would refuse this marriage because of the veil he had

While Irman looks at Mila with a riled face ‘don't think of that no-no Mil, don't make trouble with your inner life’

Mila and Vanessa have returned to the car to return home after

meet Mr. Sarman at the hospital.

“Mil, I hope you are not missteps” said Vanessa worried about her sister-in-law's decision.

“you mean sister?” mila said flatly, he looked at Vanessa with a feeling that began to rouse.

“maybe the man does not blame the veil you wear, and the wedding will still go as Grandpa” wishes.

Mila breathed a long breath “ini plan Mila and bang Arnes kak, besides you know for yourself many people who antipathy with veil now, and few who want to accept veiled women” replied Mila definitely, he tried to convince himself that the plan he was going through would work out as it should.

“then what if the man is that little part?” said Vanessa flat.

Mila was silent, she did not think at all that far, what was in her mind was that the man would definitely reject her because of the veil she was wearing.

Mila and Vanessa have reached home in their car, followed by Irman's car running behind them. Vanessa took a deep breath looking at Mila who immediately got out of the car then stepped quickly into the house ‘even her

unsure of the plan he madeEven Vanessa's inner’ looked riled up on her face.

Mila got out of the car and opened the door to go to her room.

Irman who saw Mila stepped quickly immediately following her, “Mila, wait, wait

Mil” shouted Irman who made Mila stop right in front of her room door.

“why bang?” said Mila upset with her brother's shout ‘can not be a hell if calling the person does not need to scream’

“what's your plan? why are you suddenly willing to accept grandfather's request?” asked Irman firmly.

Mila just kept quiet, he did not want to tell Irman the plan he was running ‘what do you care bang?, since you never cared about me, ever, Only grandfather cares about me’ umpat Mila in his heart is upset.

“do you think the veil will save you?, you did not see that grandpa just relaxed looking at using the veil, that means your veil will not be able to help you” said Irman with an emotional tone, he was really disappointed with his sister who took rash actions that could destroy his sister's life.

Mila who was previously confident in what she was doing began to waver again after remembering Vanessa's words in the car earlier, the feeling of fear began to penetrate

his heart, ‘does I make a wrong decision?, is not the veiled woman at this time the issue is very hard with terrorism, does it mean that the man will reject me outright? or he will accept me without caring about this veil Mila's inner’ is completely engulfed in fear.

“if you want to reject the wishes of grandfather, I am ready to debate grandfather earlier, whatever risks I have to bear, even I am ready to guarantee Arnes with myself in front of grandfather, he said, you have always been rash to make a decision, as if I don't care about you” angry Irman can't stand it, he feels he has failed to save Mila from a life that Mila does not want.
