Mr. Penghulu, Marry Me!
No Problem
"How long have you known me?" the question raised by Marwah, made Cia's hand movements stop.
The girl in the beautiful long dress turned to the black hooded woman, who was picking a stalk of chili.
"It's only been a few months, I-Mother," said Cia quietly, even sounding nervous.
"It's only been a few months?" Marwah repeated her question.
Cia just nodded, somehow his voice felt choked, his tongue felt twisted.
"Why do you want to be the same, my son? you already know what his job is and the circumstances of his life. If you marry my son, you won't live well. Honor that Alkan received from his job as Penghulu, just enough to eat us a day." Marwah spoke at length to Cia, but both of her eyes remained focused on the chili in her hand.
"You're definitely not going to survive, life is hard with us. Girls today have a lot of needs, right? from skincare, bodycare, and many more. I'm sure, Alkan can not meet all your needs later." continued Marwah.
The middle-aged woman spoke as she was, with the current state of life of her and the son.
"Don't mentang Alkan S2 legal scholar, you keep thinking that my son has a lot of money. You're wrong, Alkan could go to such a high school because of his own struggles, not the cost of his parents. Since his father died, while Alkan was still in 3rd grade High School, Alkan died studying while working. He financed my life, often ill, alone. Fortunately, Alkan was smart-brained, he was looking for a full scholarship to study law. If the tuition fee he did not come from a scholarship, where maybe Alkan could go to such a high school, we people could not afford. Aren't you going to regret it, if you marry Alkan, later?" Marwah continued to speak, without giving Cia to interrupt him.
"What's kam...,"
Cia's tongue is already itching to talk. Until somehow courage from where, he immediately interrupted the words of Marwah, who did not give a chance to talk to him, from now on.
Marwah fell silent, she turned to the girl next to her. The two Netra Marwah continued to stare unreadably at Cia, not knowing what the middle-aged woman was thinking.
"Are you sure, with all that you said? if I look around, it seems like you are used to living a luxurious life. Where is it possible if you can adapt quickly, to the difficult life of your husband later." fawning Marwah continuously.
Cia slowly inhaled a deep breath, and slowly she exhaled.
"Mother's right, from childhood I was already living. But, do not just because I am used to living in the world, other people judge me, can not live simply. My extended family, never crazy with property or office. My life is more than enough, but if for a simple life, or even lack, I do not matter." said calmly Cia, even the girl continued to develop a thin smile on Marwah.
The black-hooded woman could only blink, hearing Cia's words. Even the movement of his hand stopped for a moment, his two eyes still stared unblinkingly at Cia.
After being satisfied with his gaze, Marwah immediately turned her gaze towards the front, without saying anything. The two women were different ages, again busy with their cooking events. Without a single sound they let out, after their conversation. Until Cia and Marwah are not aware, if Alkan heard the talk of the two women, without being missed in the slightest.
