As promised today Alvin rushed from the office to Haifa's house to take him to the airport. Alvin does not know what Haifa is going to the airport for.
After arriving in front of Haifa's house, Alvin immediately notified through chat.
"Ma Haifa said pick up bang Ken first. This is Mr. Alvin ahead." said Haifa to the mother.
"Alvin straight from the office?" ask Mama.
"Yes he said."
"Don't go to the deck. Alvin asked, not yet. If you haven't eaten yet. Kasian is afraid not to eat abis nganterin adek must have returned to the office right."
"Jaudah ask first."
Geck... Geck...
Haifa knocked on Alvin's car door.
"You wanna sit in front?" alvin asked after opening the glass.
"No. Have you had lunch yet?"
"Not finished meeting here yet."
"Jaudah come in and eat first. This abis goes straight to the office again right?"
"Don't be late for the plane."
"will not. Haifa didn't catch the plane, just wanted to pick people up. The ones that were picked up were adults too. So if it's too late can still wait."
"It's not good with aunty when she's here eating."
"This is Mama who told me to."
"Oh auntie yes. I guess you, just wanted to say my candidate is very attentive anyway. Not to be."
"Flush. It's been spitting up longer with gini."
"Yaudah, yes for a moment" said Alvin, closing the windshield and slowly getting out of the car.
Haifa went first and Alvin followed behind.
"Assalamualaikum Tan." said alvin when he saw Mama Anna (Mama Haifa).
"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Aina's not coming with Vin?"
"Neither tan. Alvin's right out of the office."
"Jaudah pretentious to eat first there. Haifa is at the dinner table."
"Eh yes tan. Sorry for being a nicotine."
"No hassle. It's precisely this aunt who again ngerepotin you make nganterin Haifa."
"Judah there eat."
"Yes thanks tan."
Alvin sat alone with Haifa at the dinner table but their positions crossed so far enough. And there was also a mama in the living room not far from the dining table.
"Aren't you eating?" alvin asked when he finished eating.
"Udah was."
"Judek. Want direct?"
"Just sit down first dad just finished eating too" Haifa replied as she cleaned up Alvin's former meal.
"Thank you for the food" said Alvin.
"The same."
On the way to the airport the car was quiet. As usual Alvin was sitting behind the wheel and Haifa was sitting behind the seat.
"Who are you going to take you to the airport?" ask Alvin.
"Later you know."
Alvin nodded.
Arriving at Haifa airport, he contacted Keanu to ask where the man was.
"Bang Ken." call Haifa when you see Keanu. Then kiss her hands and embrace her. So did Keanu who spontaneously kissed Haifa's head as Haifa hugged her.
"Haha, I am ashamed. Diliatin people." said Keanu while releasing Haifa's embrace.
"Kangen." said Haifa while looking at Keanu.
"Abang too. Mama Papa is equally good family right?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Meanwhile Alvin watched her question mark. There are a lot of questions Alvin wants to ask.
"Eh adek here the same who knows dong same brother" said Keanu when he saw Alvin actually Keanu already know but get acquainted directly seems better.
"Oh Yes. Bang Ken's. This is Mr. Alvin. And Mr. Alvin's bang Ken's cousin Haifa."
Alvin and Keanu shake hands.
"Keanu."
"Alvin's."
"Thank you so much that Alvin's been repotin nganterin Haifa picked me up."
"No problem though. I know something new" said Alvin, glancing at Haifa. And the one that glimpsed just looked down.
"Jaudah went straight home. Talk later on the street." take Keanu.
The three of them were on their way home.
Fellow boy Keanu understood what was in Alvin's head at the moment.
"I'm the same Haifa's cousin. He said that since the age of 6 months I was raised by Papa Radit and Mama Anna (Both Haifa parents) because my parents died. So Me and Haifa, Hani and Hilya's tea grew up together since childhood so we're this close already feeling like sodara bladders." Keanu explained without being asked by Alvin. But Haifa had asked Keanu to help explain to Alvin.
"so. But set that cousin even though growing up together from small. That's not mahram, is it?"
"Yes indeed. But we're mahram's cousins."
"meaning?"
"Because we are sisters. From the age of 6 months I also breastfed Mama Anna. So yes it is."
Alvin nodded in understanding.
"I'm sorry if I thought wrong. You see, for weeks of acquaintance, I did not get an explanation that Haifa has a sister" said Alvin, glancing at Haifa from his front view.
Haifa who was aware glimpsed by Alvin immediately lowered her head.
"sorry. Neither did you."
"I didn't ask because I didn't think that way. You see, the siblings do not all have so yes there is no thought to it."
"Well, it should be a clear cut." Keanu.
"Yes sorry wrong."
"Haha sorry Haifa yes. What matters now is knowing."
"It's a good thing you guys are doing this I'm not here."
"Emang why?" ask Alvin.
"Darguably if I'm here I'll be a free mosquito repellent. Baygon is expensive."
Alvin just laughed.
"What do you mean brother?" ask Haifa.
"Well, if you can never leave if you only two. Someone must be accompanying. Keep in mind when Hani Tea and Hilya ta'aruf become brother who ngintilin them where."
"Haha yes kasian. Yes brother long time no cepet ta'arufin children people."
Alvin just chuckled at the chatter of these two brothers.
"Don't bother adek tuh should be sungkem same brother. Never shone out of what custom says if the sister wants to step over her brother. His brother must be given a gift, asked what it is. Not even diledekin. No, brother, thank you for just knowing you."
"Yes bang. The prize if clearly accepted. Now it is still unclear." said Alvin again glanced at Haifa.
"It's not hard, brother. Range rover kayak gini aja nih (while pointing Alvin car) already grateful."
"Not to be heard, sir. Mah's brother didn't ask for a gift. But robbing is bankrupt" said Haifa.
"Waitwait. What did Adek call him, father? Sorry how old is Alvin?" ask Keanu.
"I'm still 26."
"O Allah, Dec. 26, is called a different father in 5 years."
"Ih brother but Mr. Alvin adek lecturer."
"Eh seriously? I could be a lecturer for 26 years. I'm still 25 S2 process. Oh abis S1 direct S2 without keda?" ask Keanu.
"Yes so. I have also just been a lecturer for 2 years" replied Alvin.
"But my brother is serious. Change times outside the campus and don't call you father."
"Why brother who bothered anyway. Mr. Alvin it's okay."
"Actually what what. Because I don't feel that old. But if you're comfortable it's yaudah." replied Alvin.
"Well." added Keanu.
"Why the same brother Mr. Alvin so rich plots for adek ledekin." annoyed Haifa.
"It's okay dong. Yes, not Vin."
"Haha do not follow the bang until the next 5 days. Fear affects the same answer." said Alvin.
"Eh though Haifa's answer is yes also if there is no blessing brother is not your blessing" said Keanu.
"Times?" ask Alvin.
"Clearly." replied Keanu.
"Bodo." Haifa replied.
Suddenly there was laughter in the car.
"Would you come in first or would you like to go straight in?" haifa asked as they reached the front of the house.
"Live on. There's still work in the office." replied Alvin.
"Judek. Thank you and sorry for interrupting your work." said Haifa. While Keanu was still busy unloading the goods from the trunk.
"Yes the same. Yes, I say yes. It is the same in the house. Assalamualaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam."
"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Thank you Vin." said Keanu.
"The same." replied Alvin while giving a thumbs up.
After dropping off Haifa to pick up Keanu at the airport, Alvin has not yet seen Haifa or his family. To this day, when Alvin and his extended family are ready to go to Haifa's house for a proposal.
Upon arriving at the Haifa residence their family was welcomed by the extended Haifa family.
"Where is aunty?" asked Aina who Alvin had been leading since. Aina could now say aunty was beautiful clearly.
"Yes later yeah. Patience first. Aina greetings all the same." Alvin told Aina.
"Yes Papa."
The event began with each family giving a welcome.
"Now before you get to the point. We'd better call one more party who has a show."
Haifa did not appear long ago.
"Now there are both of them who have an event. Please may be Alvin's own son or a family representative who will convey his intentions and goals to ananda Haifa" said the host.
"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim. Assalamualaikum. No different than what my father said at the beginning.
I Muhammad Alvin Firmansyah with the family ventured to come to the family residence of Mr. Raditya Gunawan and Ms. Anna Nurfadilla with the intention and purpose of wanting to propose or menghitbah the youngest daughter of the Father and Mother named Haifa Tazkia Shafira's. But before that since last night there were those who were more enthusiastic than me to face this event. She's my daughter Aina. Aina was so enthusiastic that ever since last night she always said to me. Papa can not later Aina want to talk to Kai, Umi is also aunty beautiful. I still don't know what my daughter is going to say. So if the extended family is all pleased, I beg you for time to let my daughter express what she wants to say" said Alvin.
"Bby dong. What do you want to say about Kai, umi and aunty?" ask the host.
Instantly all eyes were on the 3-year-old little boy who was wearing a beautiful white dress with a matching hijab.
"Try what Aina wants to say?" alvin asked while thrusting the mic near Aina's lips.
Aina looked embarrassed as she continued to hold Alvin's hand.
"It's okay baby." said Alvin.
"Kai, Umi can't if aunty gorgeousna be Aina's bundana?" aina asked shyly while never holding Alvin's hand.
The large family present was amazed by Aina's question. Some even screamed. That caused Aina to be instantly embarrassed and embrace Alvin.
It's beyond expectations. Alvin himself did not know Aina would ask such a question. I don't know who taught me. Alvin himself was amazed even to the point of several feet kissing Aina while involuntarily shedding tears.
Haifa was in front of Alvin.
"God's beauty is funny. Thank you so beautiful for asking. Well now Kai and Umi answer dong or want aunty beautiful yourself answer?" ask the host.
"Here dong, Aina was the same Kai as Umi now here dong Kai and Umi wanted to kiss Aina first." said Papa while waving to Aina.
Aina looked up at Alvin as if asking for approval. Alvin nodded. Aina approached Haifa's parents.
"Try dong once again Kai wants to hear Aina's question." asked Papa when Aina was in front of him.
"Can't it be that aunty gorgeousna is Aina's bundana?" ask Aina again.
Although this was the second time but did not reduce the anxiety of the big family in Aina.
"If kai is the same umi. That's fine."
The guests smiled happily.
"Not yet brother. That was the answer from Kai and Umi. Not from the concerned party. Well now just please aunty pretty answer questions from the beautiful princess." said the host.
"Here dear." said Haifa waving to Aina. Now Aina was standing before Haifa.
"Aina wants Aunty to answer What?"
Aina just kept quiet while playing Haifa's finger.
"Bismillah. Aunty wants to be Aina's mother." said Haifa.
"Sneak?" asked Aina enthusiastically.
Haifa nodded.
"Here's hug me." said Haifa.
Aina hugged Haifa.
"Alhamdulillah." said everything at once.
"Son Alvin would you like to add more questions? Make it just to be Aina's mother" said the host.
"Eh not yet hehe. Then then. Bismillahbornrohmanirrohim. Allow me Alvin to ask Haifa directly. Is Haifa willing to be my wife and mother to Aina?" ask Alvin.
"Please Haifa to answer again."
"Bismillah. I am Haifa God willing to accept to be the wife of Mr. Alvin and Mother to Aina" said Haifa.
"Alhamdulillah." again the invited guests gave thanks.
"Shortly a minute. What's so pretty?" ask the hostess to Aina when she gets an interruption from Mama if Aina wants to ask anything more.
"Aunty pretty, can't you ask Aina to call Mommy?" aina asked as she looked up at Haifa.
Before answering Aina's question, Haifa looked at Alvin as if asking for approval. But Alvin just nodded his shoulders as if to say "Teruhan thou." in the sense of handing over the decision to Haifa.
"May dear." said Haifa.
"Thank you Mother." said Aina and then hugged Haifa again.
A smile of happiness clearly emanated on the faces of the entire extended family attending this event.
"Now everything is clear. It would be better if the two families could start negotiating a wedding date.
Long enough to negotiate finally agreed if the marriage will be carried out in approximately 3 months.
The event that started ba'da dzuhur balau was completed at around 16:00. Some families are already happy.
Both nuclear families including Alvin and Haifa are apparently discussing marriage. Because for the matter of marriage 3 months is not a long time.
