MY IMAM

106

For a long time they were silent in silence. Inter-diving each other's minds. Think about what just happened and what will happen. When Alvian was determined to make Naima his companion. Naima hesitated to start it all. Naima was afraid even too scared if this was pseudo happiness, she was afraid that what was in front of her was just a mere mirage.

For a long time they just kept silent without a word until finally they were surprised by the presence of Bu Rahma in their midst.

" There's a guest anyway, Naughty Kemal where's Nay?"

Naima yerlonjak with her mother's question, while Alvian smiled awkwardly, stood up from her seat and greeted Rahma.

" Having gone home, Mom, he hastily had some business to do" Naima said, glancing at Alvian with his eyes on his tail. Ms. Rahma nodded at Naima's response.

" Nay, there's a guest who hasn't been made to drink." Rahma looked at Naima, hinting for Naima to go to the kitchen and make Alvian a drink.

" Well, who's this kid, Naima's coworker? ask Alvian.

" Yes Mom, I'm a friend of hers. But I came here with the intention of asking for blessing." for a moment Alvian paused his sentence. Makes Ms. Rahma curious about the word blessing that Alvian said.

" So, son, you don't understand?" Bu Rahma's forehead wrinkled as she stared fixedly at the young man's face in front of her.

" I'm here with good intentions Mom, I intend to propose to Naima's mother's daughter. If mother gives my blessing please allow me to take Naima and introduce her to my extended family." Ms. Rahma was silent and did not answer Naima's words.

Naima emerged from the kitchen with a cup of unsweetened coffee. Naima memorized exactly what Alvian liked and disliked. Not because he was trying to figure it out but because he was a secretary who always took care of what Alvian needed. It all makes Naima know a lot about anything that Alvian likes or that Alvian does not like.

" Please drink son!" mama Rahma said after Naima put the cup on the table. Alvian nodded and smiled faintly.

" Mom will leave everything to Naima. If you are the man Naima chose to be her priest then mother as a parent can only give her blessing and wish you both the best." Bu thought also looked at Naima who was only down to hear his words.

" But Mom, what about Kemal?" Naima's question suddenly made Alvian feel upset with the woman sitting in front of him. It could be that Naima was worried about the other man in front of her blatantly.

" You don't have to worry about that. I'm sure Nak Kemal will understand." Naima was silent and lowered her head for a while before she replied.

" Well, I want to be Mr. Alvian's wife. One side Alvian was pleased with Naima's reply. Even very happy but on the other hand he was annoyed with the name Pak, which Naima implied to call him. But Alvian smiled at the answer, there was no way she could protest with Naima's call to him in front of the future mother-in-law. What would be a mother-in-law, it feels too tickling his heart considering the word in-law.

" Then I ask permission from my mother, tomorrow Naima even I take home to city X. Tomorrow my sister and sister-in-law are having a second sister-in-law's pregnancy. I'll introduce Naima to my family tomorrow." Alvian told Ms. Rahma.

" Zahra's mom pregnant?" naima asked, she looked at Alvian with round eyes." Alvian nodded and smiled at him.

" Yes, Mom, I haven't introduced myself. I am Alvian Bu, working in the same company as Naima. I live in town X while both of my parents live in town B. Tomorrow I will introduce Naima to my family and in the near future, I will return here to formally propose to my mother. I'll be with my family."

" Please mother will wait for your arrival to propose to mother's daughter. I just told you to take good care of your daughter, love her and never hurt her. Naima grew up without her father but the mother always made sure that the affection she gave her was never lacking. I will not be willing if the child that I raised with all my heart and the mother gave me love is hurt by others" said Ms. Rahma at length. Alvian just looked down, listening carefully to what the future mother-in-law said. He promised that he would try to always love and love Naima with all his soul and body.

After they had a serious conversation, Alvian now prefers to talk lightly about work and also Miss Rahma who tells the story of Naima's childhood. While Naima herself was busy in the kitchen preparing a meal ready for the three of them because her mother told her to cook for her future husband. Actually, Nalvian will just order or take Naima and Ms. Rahma to the restaurant only. But Bu Rahma refused firmly he said Vian had to try Naima cuisine because Naima cuisine is also delicious, as good as eating restaurants according to Bu Rahma.

They also spend time getting to know each other. Ms. Rahma was quite surprised to learn that Alvian not only worked in the same company as Naima, but Alvian was also the boss and owner of the company. From their chat, Rahma knew that Alvian was a good man who would be able to take care of Naima.

Now he's relieved to let go of Naima to a man as good as Alvian.

Alvian takes Ms Rahma to X city tomorrow to meet her family, but Ms Rahma refuses, she will wait for the right time to meet the Alvian family. Maybe later when Alvian comes back to his house with his family to propose to Naima officially as well as set the date of his marriage.

After lunch is over, Rahma told Alvian to rest first. Let Naima later in the afternoon take him for a walk around Yogya he said. Alvian said it was because he felt tired. Alvian also rested in Naima's room, while Naima rested in the room of the sister who happened to have not returned from campus research. The plan is to go home today and be pushed back tomorrow.

Alvian did not immediately rest, he even traced every corner of Naima's room very neatly. There was not much stuff there, just a medium-sized bed, a closet and a dresser but more stuffed with books than with makeup equipment.

At the table there is a photo of little Naima with an adult man who Alvian knows is his father because the face is the same as the picture displayed in the living room earlier.
