I woke up in the morning. I cleaned the house. Suddenly I saw Muhlas standing at the gate of my house.
Muhlas saluted, then I answered his greeting.
"Sorry Ara, I've been seeing you in the morning. You're not angry, are you?" Ask Muhlas.
I smiled and let Muhlas in.
"Ara... How do you have an answer? " Muhlas immediately asked after sitting in the living room.
"Yes, I've been thinking about it. Have you thought carefully about your wishes? We have not known long ago . I don't know what your qualities are yet and vice versa." My answer.
"Fra... We haven't known you for a long time, but I'm comfortable with you. I don't want to date because I don't feel much benefit from it. In fact, I am afraid that later we can worship and do things that are forbidden by religion. " Muhlas assured me.
"Alright, I'm willing, and agree with your views on dating. "
Muhlas seemed happy, then Muhlas asked, "When can I formally propose to you in front of your parents?"
"Let me talk to my parents first."
Muhlas. "Ara.. let me know as soon as possible... Because I want to marry you soon."
I'm nodding.
Muhlas stopped by just for a moment, only to ask me my answer to his question last night. Then Muhlas came home. And Muhlas plans to come tonight.
When I finished lunch, I conveyed Muhlas' desire to propose to me..
Both my parents agree. Then my mom and dad told me to have Muhlas come to the house tonight and I said yes because Muhlas promised to come later tonight
On that night Muhlas came and expressed his wish to my parents to marry me. My parents and Muhlas talked about the preparations that had to be done.
Finally agreed that Muhlas would bring his family to propose to me next week on my birthday.
***
That night my family and Muhlas's family gathered. Muhlas' family officially proposed to me.
Then the talk of various kinds of wedding preparations was initiated. And the decision was made that the wedding would be held a week after the proposal.
Marriage is made simple, because the Muhlas family is not from among the people. Muhlas was the eldest of five children. Muhlas is the backbone of his family.
The wedding ceremony was held at my house. The process for the marriage went well. I didn't invite many friends. Just a few, and so did Muhlas.
Invitations are mostly from family and neighbors only.
"Congratulations Ara...May you be happy and happy always..." Vishnu gave congratulations and prayers.
"Makasi ya Wis. "my words with a smile.
All the invitations congratulated us both.
After the event was over, Muhlas met me in the room. Then I kissed his hand.
"Fra... I am happy that you are now my wife. I'll make you happy, I promise." Muhlas said while kissing my forehead. I bowed and nodded.
"You happy Ara?"
"Yeah... I happy...I'm gonna try to be a good wife."
Muhlas kissed my hand. Then Muhlas came out of the room because my papa called him.
"Muhlas, the family is all ready. Now we're going to your house. Is your family ready to accept our arrival? "Ask papa.
"Yes pa... At home there was a family of Muhlas waiting. So we just leave, pa." Muhlas.
"All right, now we're ready to go."
"Yes pa..."
After the wedding, the Muhlas family took me home. My extended family took me to Muhlas' house.
Arriving at Muhlas' house there was a family who welcomed our arrival. Still feels the atmosphere of the countryside with a strong sense of family.
Now I am officially and legally the wife of Muhlas.
