MARRIED DUREN ANSA

MDA 2'S. Dream Son-in-law

"This is the last time we introduce you to a man! Want it or not you have to accept him as your husband later." Marini gave her son an ultimatum.

"Ma, Eno already has a boyfriend. Cook Eno should break up?" Eno whines not to be betrothed again by her parents.

"Working continues! You're not a teenager anymore, Eno! Remember age!" yelled Marini frustrated.

The only daughter always defies. There is always a reason to fight his parents. Maybe because all this time he was too pampered, so did not want to hear the advice of parents.

Eno is not only spoiled by her parents, her stepmother also loves her very much. Because Eno is the only daughter of Mr. Mundarman, after twice married.

"A year, mama! We plan to get married in a year. After he finishes his education, he will propose to Eno." Eno explains why her boyfriend hasn't proposed to her.

"If he was serious about you, he would have proposed to you. Especially if a year is not a long time. You can be engaged first, after all, fiance does not interfere with college." replied Marini.

"Dzaky doesn't have the capital yet, ma! His savings were exhausted for education, he took a specialist, not a general practitioner. Specialist doctors are expensive." Eno tried to give understanding to her mother.

"But you don't want to know why, you know the man who gave the rose will lose to the man who gave the dowry! So, prepare your heart! Whoever proposed to you first, that's what we'll accept" Marini said before leaving Eno's room.

Marini slammed the door of Eno's room hard, making Eno immediately run after her mother. Because her mother would not be angry if she did not miss, it means that she has hurt her mother's feelings.

"Ma, give me a week to bring Dzaky here to propose to Eno." said Eno.

Actually, Eno hesitated, whether Dzaky would come to propose to him. Seeing the Dzaky debate all this time, Eno was very sure if Dzaky preferred to retreat. Eno repeatedly discusses marriage, but Dzaky's response is always the same.

"Study is not married yet! No, no, it's complicated!"

It feels like Eno is desperate to get Dzaky married quickly, but he does not want to force Dzaky. However, Eno is convinced that Dzaky will keep his promise. Therefore, Eno is still faithfully waiting for the arrival of Dzaky to propose to him.

"Remember just a week, if more than that," mama Eno paused her words for a moment to ease her emotions.

"you must marry the man of our choice!" marini.

"Yes, ma." said Eno softly, he did not want to make his mother angry again.

Previously Eno had repeatedly run away when he would be introduced to the man who would be betrothed to him. So this time Eno's parents, made a way for her son not to run away again.

Despite threatening Eno, Marini's feelings remain unsettled. Marini can not believe one hundred percent, if next Sunday Ary can bring his girlfriend come let alone propose.

Marini just wants to see her only daughter happy. Marini did not want her son to be hung like a clothesline. For what lingers courtship, if finally broken up. It is better to get married immediately if you feel fit.

Sometimes parents think differently than their children. Parents will always worry about their children, but their children are relaxed as if nothing will happen. As human beings, God's creatures cannot choose or determine what will happen. Man can only plan and live on what is already his lifeline.

It's been a week, but Dzaky hasn't shown himself yet. Even Dzaky is hard to contact anymore. The last time Eno met Dzaky was a week ago after Eno came home from her parents' house.

At the meeting, Eno asks Dzaky to come to his parents' house to propose.But Dzaky's response is still the same, he does not want to get married, still wants to pursue a career.

Eno was disappointed with Dzaky's attitude. Eno had hoped for a lot on Dzaky, but it seemed that Dzaky was not serious about their relationship. Finally Eno prayed istikharah to ask for instructions.

Marini has an appointment to meet her cousin. Marini and her cousin wanted to match her daughter-in-law with Eno. Marini's cousin had only one daughter, named Anita. Anita died a year ago while giving birth to her first child. So that his son-in-law currently holds the status of one-child widower (duren ansa).

"Your daughter-in-law is good, isn't she?" ask Marini.

"If it's not good, I don't want to match him with Eno either." replied Riyana, Marini's older cousin.

"What's his job?" ask Marini.

"Just like your husband, only he has not been high because he is also only 31 years old" Riyana replied.

"TNI huh? Eno where want to have a TNI husband" said Marini lethargic with both shoulders immediately slumped.

"Not all TNIs are like your husband! There are many loyal TNI, the proof is that your husband is also loyal after marrying you" Riyana said, trying to entertain.

Riyana knows how Marini went through a difficult time with her husband. Even though they are happy now, but the wounds that were incised have been impregnated. It's hard to forget or even assume that there isn't.

"Yes, Mr. Mundarman is no longer cheating after having a daughter. He loves us even more." mama Eno replied with her bright face.

"My daughter-in-law is my dream daughter-in-law. He is kind, gentle to his parents and family. He was a dirty man. The person is also not neko-neko" Riyana said promoting her single daughter-in-law.

"All right then! Tomorrow we meet them. Jenengan bring your daughter-in-law and her parents to the house" said Marini enthusiastically.

Marini was very happy, because she finally got a candidate for daughter-in-law who fit her criteria. Which mother is not happy if her son is married to a righteous man. Marini has often met her cousin's son-in-law, has a handsome face and good behavior.

After returning home from meeting her cousin, Marini contacted her son. There are many ways she uses her child to go home.

"A little while, son! Do you also want to?" marini said by phone.

Marini said her husband was sick. Actually Marini does not lie, because the age is no longer young, Mr. Mundarman easily sick. So that it can be used as an excuse to ask Eno to come home.

"Yes, mom! Eno will be home today too, if papa is sick." replied Eno resignedly.

Eno could not refuse his mother's request this time. He must go home to the man who became his first love, his father.

Marini who got Eno's answer immediately cheered happily. Eno did not see how her mother clenched her hands so happy.

"Wait a minute, baby. Be careful on the road, don't speed in the street." Marini ordered with a fluffy smile .

"Yes, mom! Get ready first, ma!' answer Eno lethargic.

"Okay, yes. Assalamu'alaikum!" marini said ending her call.

"Wa'alaikumusalam." answered Eno lethargic.
