MARRIED DUREN ANSA

Ask Him to Come With His Family

"Whatever your decision, I hope you can live happily. With whoever you marry, I'm sure to bless you. Only one thing you ask for, live in harmony. There are any problems to be solved with a cold head" said Ary's father.

Ary who listened to my father's advice became moved. He did not expect at all if father gave his blessing, without any conditions other than his happiness. For Ary, father is his first love. His father's love was so great to him.

"Mother also hopes, whatever your decision, you will always be happy in sailing the household ark. Mother does not want your favorite child to suffer. If you suffer, you'd rather die than watch your child grieve." mother advised Ary.

Mother's words can be a sign that the parents' affection is without limits, therefore a mother's oath to her child. And later the mother's words will be proved, because no mother can see her child shed tears.

"Yes, Ary promised. Ary will always be happy. And Ary sure, Ary must be happy." replied Ary steady.

"Then what decision did you make?" ask dad.

"Ary accepted it, dad!" ary replied while bowing.

Mother who heard Ary's reply could only shed her tears. It seems like mother feels Ary's sadness in plain sight. A mother's feelings and premonitions won't go off, even if they don't go too far.

The father who saw the mother crying, can only rub the mother's back slowly. I know for a fact, someday Ary will get married and leave them. Which parent is willing to part with their child. Though Ary's marriage is not necessarily the case, but as parents they have to release their children if they are married later.

"Do you feel sure?" I asked slowly, afraid to offend Ary.

"Seventy percent, yeah!" ary replied still with his head bowed, he had not dared to look at his father and his mother.

"Then you do it again tonight. Seek guidance from Allah." counsel father.

"After being absolutely certain, tomorrow you tell him to come with his family. Especially her parents!" father said while standing up to worship.

"It's time for worship, we should worship and ask for His guidance" said mother reminded Ary.

Mother also followed my father into the room. Leaving Ary alone at the dinner table. Initially Ary was relieved because his parents supported whatever was his decision. But Ary was worried when he asked Alex to come with his family, including Alex's parents.

What if Alex's parents are against both of them? What if Alex's family hates him? And various other questions were raging in his mind.

Ary finally walked to his room. He wants to ask for guidance back to the One who turns his heart upside down. It could be that today they can both unite, tomorrow after tomorrow or later the household is hit by a storm.

***

The next day, Ary wakes up. All this because, Ary lack of sleep. In the remaining third of the night he used to complain his fate to God. A third of the night he did until dawn, making Ary a little calmer.

"For dad! Morning mother!" ary shouted as soon as he reached the dining table.

Her parents are now sitting around the dining table. They're both waiting for Ary, to have breakfast together. Ma'am Asih has served it all on the table.

"After, baby!" answer father and mother compact.

"Sorry, Ary was after the Fajr prayer sleeping again. Wake up bad luck!" ary said while sitting in front of the mother, to the left of the father.

"How did you sleep last night?" ask me to look at my favorite son.

"Lack of sleep?" ask the mother while taking the fried rice for the father.

"Suddenly, but Ary woke up in the third of the night. So Ary continued until Fajr. Because it is still sleepy, Ary sleeps again." explained Ary while taking a glass filled with water to drink.

"Why not drink milk?" ask mother, because Ary prefers water from milk that has been made by mbak Asih earlier.

"If eating rice keeps drinking milk, where does Ary's stomach fit, Bun?!" ary answered while taking a spoon, because the rice has been taken by mother.

Finally they ate in silence, only the sound of the clinking of the spoon clashing with the plate.

"Who made the fried rice, Bun?" ary asked after the fried rice on his plate ran out.

"Another tumben tastes, not as usual!" answer Ary.

"Other how?" ask mother again.

"There's less, bun!" ary replied while holding his laughter.

"What's less, the seasoning or the salt sugar?" ask the mother again, while taking a spoonful of fried rice and began to taste, slowly munching on the rice.

"Less a lot! Hahaha.." replied Ary with a laugh because since then he had been holding back his laughter.

"Basic you are! Just old people, usually!" yelled mother while throwing a washcloth towards Ary's face.

"The mother does not know how her son. I used to love joking around with him!" said he defended his beloved girl.

"Ary! Have you contacted that man?" ask dad later, when he remembered about Ary's chat yesterday.

"Remember dad's message! They should be here later in the night. Parents must come, if he is serious!" continue father.

"Yes, yeah! Later after this Ary contact him." replied Ary while putting an empty glass after the contents were swallowed up.

Ary helped mommy clean their cutlery earlier. Ary took her to the kitchen and washed her.

"Let's wash the dishes, mbak!" mbak Asih said when he saw Ary started washing dishes.

"It's over, mbak Asih do the rest!" ary answered still continuing to soothe the dishes.

Finally Asih left Ary who washed the dishes, Asih chose to obey his little master. Because after all, her little boss was the queen of this house long ago.

After washing the dishes, Ary wiped his hands dry and headed to his room to contact Alex. Ary has to ask Alex to come with his parents, or else he'll turn them down.

"Later at home bring your parents and other family members. My mom and dad wanted to meet them"

After the message is sent, Ary saves his HP back on his bedside nightstand. Ary wishes for a reply from Alex.

Meanwhile Alex, who had just entered his room, heard a message notification coming in. Then Alex opened a message from Ary, after reading it, Alex also replied to the message.

"I try! Take it easy it will work."

"Hour seven nights, we're definitely coming" the next message read.

How happy Alex was, because Ary asked him to come with his family. That means his proposal is most likely accepted.

Exactly at seven o'clock in the night, Alex came with his papa Pak Kusuma Wijaya and Anton, not forgetting he also brought Kevin. They came with some hands.

"Wait a minute, the father and mother are still inside" said mbak Asih when serving drinks and some cakes.

"Where is mbak?" alex asked impatiently.

"Mbak Ary is still in his room." replied Asih before passing from before them.

Shortly after, Ary's parents came to the living room. Where Alex and his family are waiting.

"Jinjuma!"

"Why!"

Shouted Bu Widya and Mr. Kusuma together.
