Marrying Young to You

Shalihahs

After delivering Melani and Anisah to the airport and confirming their departure, Raihan returned to his home. The man felt that something was missing when Melani had left.

Raihan went into the house and said his greetings. Once inside the living room, he was startled by the arrival of a woman. He knew the woman well, his childhood friend. But he had not met the woman for three years because she was in school in England.

His name is Shalihah, the woman who became Raihan's fiancee from childhood. The woman that Raihan had thought of as his own sister. Shalihah called Raihan as Aa which is the Bandung language of the Big Brother.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, you've come home baby, see who comes" said Mama Raihan.

"Salihah, when did you arrive in Bandung?" raihan said basa stale.

"So morning Aa, Aa Rai how are you?" ask the woman.

"God be well, how are you Shali?" ask Raihan.

"Alhamdulillah Shali healthy Aa, Shali heard Teteh Anisah is married huh A?"

"You know where it came from?" ask Raihan.

"Shali heard from Aunt A" replied Shalihah.

"Yes he's married" Raihan said.

"Good A, at least Aa Rai must quickly move on" replied Shalihah.

"Ma can come with Rai back for a second?" pinta Rai's.

"Yes dear" replied Mama Raihan.

Raihan took his mom into the kitchen. A lot of statements that want to come out of Raihan's mouth.

"Ma, didn't Raihan tell you that Raihan already likes other women?" ask Raihan.

"Yes, that Melani, right?" answer Mama.

"Then why do you still insist on matching Rai with Shali?" ask Raihan again.

"You think Mama's stupid Rai?" mama Raihan.

"You don't think Mama knew Melani wasn't a good woman?" reply Mama.

"That's not all true Ma, where did Mama get that fake news?" ask Rai again

"That's all not important Rai" anyway Mama does not want you close to Melani" said Mama firmly.

"Why Ma?" ask Raihan not to believe it.

"You already know that she is an actor, trying to damage Anisah's household and her husband" Mama Raihan replied.

"Not to mention that he is old, reportedly he rejected all men and wasted his age to get Anisah's husband" continued Mama.

"Is Mama wrong Rai?" mama Raihan again.

"Mama was right about Melani being older than me, but she was only twenty-seven years old Ma, only four years different from Rai, is that too much?" Raihan.

"In addition to age, everything you say about Melani is wrong" Raihan continued.

"Mama doesn't want to know Rai, you have to leave Melani, period" Mama Raihan said as she left her son.

"Oiya one more time, get changed, we'll have lunch with Shali" Mama Raihan ended their conversation.

Secretly unbeknownst to them, Shalihah listened to the conversation of the Mother and Child. The woman smiled triumphantly.

"Feel Melani, just as you want to take Raihan from a Shalihah" Shalihah said in his heart.

Mama Raihan soon returned to see his future daughter-in-law. He did not want the Shalihah to wait alone any longer.

"I'm sorry baby you've been waiting a long time" said Mama Raihan.

"It's okay Auntie, Shali is at home lingering at Auntie's house" replied Shalihah smiling sweetly.

"You were right, Raihan desperately defended the girl named Melani, fortunately you told everything about the woman" said Mama Raihan.

"Yes Aunty, I don't want Aa Rai to choose the wrong woman" Shalihah replied.
