CHAPTERS. 3
At the residence of Mr. Budi, Anis was seen sitting on the bed, hugging his favorite roll. He breathed a rough breath. Occasionally rubbed his face with both hands. He thought hard how to get out of the knickknacks requested by his father. He went out and looked for his mother in the kitchen.
“Bu..again busy huh?” asked Anis while sitting on the dining chair.
“Ngak also son, I just take care of the rest of the breakfast was”.answered ma'am Rusmi.
“What's the son?” rusmi asked Anis.
“Bu..mom know since childhood I always studied hard so that I got the first rank continuously. I thought that if I could obtain rank one then I would be easy to continue my education to a higher level. And it proved that I entered Junior High School and High School in this city.
Entering High School I am still trying hard to continue studying, so that later I can get a scholarship at my dream university which is “UI”.
Ma'am.I want to raise my father and mother through my education and career later. I'm not getting married now bu”. Obviously Anis at length tried to give understanding to his mother.
Her mother stopped her work for a moment and pulled a chair near her daughter.
“Mother understands what you have in mind right now son,, mother also knows how eager you are to learn and always obedient said the old man.
But I can't go against your father's will, son, I'm powerless with that decision.
We both understand how hard mr”. Rusmi said to her son while stroking her daughter's long unraveling straight hair.
“Bu...is my single rank so far only going to stop halfway with me getting married now? Beratri all the vain that I did all this time ma'am, study hard, study hard, obey your father not to date even to not be close to men who are not muhrim because I hope I will boast of mother and father with my success later”. Obviously Anis to his mother again who unwittingly began to drip.
“Do you really want to make mom and dad proud and happy because you want to?” ask Rusmi then.
Anis nodded her head in response to her mother's words.
“Then I apologize, son.please obey your father for a number of times. I can't promise you a life, son, but your father? He is the head of the family that we must follow his orders and will. No matter how hard your father is to you, no matter how strict the parents are to his child, that must be for the good of his dear son. God willing this decision is the best”. Clearly buk Russmii to his son.
“ Be proud mommy sama sapak all this time have me bu?” ask Anis
“Of course we are very proud of you son, you are a smart, obedient, and also jolly child. Let's wipe your tears baby, I don't want to see you crying all the time because of your father's decision. Rest assured all this is good”. Russian ma'am ended his words and left Anis who was still sitting in the dining chair.
Ms. Rusmi walked out of the kitchen and headed to the living room to meet her husband, Mr. Budi.
“Pak why the coffee has not been drunk?” ask Rusmi to her husband who looks busy reading the daily newspaper.
“ Yes later ma'am, still hot”. Answer is short
“Pak, I want to talk to you same father”. Said mom Rusmi
“You said what bu?” ask Mr. Budi while closing the newspaper and putting it under the guest table.
“Pak, what really can not be found any more solutions regarding the marriage of Anis, the father of our daughter. The spirit of learning can be dashed if we get married this fast. What else he has never met his son Mr. Herdi”. Answer mom Rusmi
“Bu.bapak actually also do not want to marry our daughter so soon, I know Anis very keen to go to college and achieve his wishes. But you can't refuse Mr. Herdi's request. They've been too busy helping us ma'am. I also know how good their family is. I believe his son was as good as Mr. Herdi”.ucap Pak Budi trying to convince his wife of the decision taken to marry his daughter.
Rusmi was finally unable to speak anymore, because everything her husband said was true.
• * *
In the hospital room of Mr. Herdi precisely at the Mutiara Cinta hospital, already present Herdiawan family and perias who are ready to shield the bride. Rezi, Herdi's second child, was not seen in the room, as he was having a company cooperation meeting in Australia.
A few moments later I heard the door.
“tok..tok..”. Pak budi, Miss Rusmi, and Anis entered the room.See a happy smile on the face of Mr. Herdi and Ms. Lida. Anis kissed the back of Mr. Herdi's hand and Ms. Lida who would soon become her in-laws.
“How is Mr Herdi now?” ask Mr. Budi to Mr. Herdi
“As sir Budi sees this time sir, I feel happy because soon we will be besananan, it means we will really be family”.Sir Herdi's words were weak but still emanated a smile on his face.
“You're beautiful once, son.” Praise Bu Lida to Anis.
“Thanks bude.”Anis replied with a pushy smile. Because his heart is currently in turmoil.
It turns out gini really feels like a young marriage yes.usually only able to watch and read novels about stories like this, but it actually happened to happen in the same way I did. Anis grouse in his heart tried to stay strong in various ways.
“Do not call bude dong, will soon you want to be a daughter-in-law of mama, call mama aja ya”. Pinta Bu Lida to Anis.
Anis nodded her head while smiling at Ms. Lida.
“Let's go to the makeup table, let's go directly in makeup”. Pinta bu Lida to Anis while driving to the dressing room.
Anis immediately stepped foot into the dressing room. He looked up at the milk in the corner of the room. It turned out that Miss Lida had prepared some kebaya for Anis.
“This kebaya deliberately mama buy for your marriage contract later son, you are free to choose to wear which one”. Said Ms. Lida to Anis while stroking her hair full of affection, because indeed the family of Mr. Herdi does not have a daughter.
“Thanks ma”. Said Anis to her future father-in-law with a smile.
.
“Don't say thank you son, it's my obligation to prepare all this”.Bu said Lida. “mama stay first ya”. Further
“Iya ma”. Reply Anis
Anis immediately sat in front of the mirror for makeup. His hands squeezed the shirt he was wearing, his heart was erratic.
I should still be at school with my friends, chatting, laughing, going to the library together. Inner Anis in the heart.
His eyes began to glaze over, Anis quickly raised his face up to hold his tears so as not to fall wet his cheek which was again made up by a fairy.
“Iya mbak sorry”. Say anis to her fairy.
“What age is it now?” ask her to Anis to divert Anis' daydreams so as not to cry anymore.
“18 year mbk, I am still SMA”. Answer Anis
“Sorry before, sister betrothed same parents huh?” ask the fairy again while polishing Anis' face with makeup.
“Iya mbk, my father betrothed me with the son of Mr. Herdi”. Anis replied in a soft tone.
“Ooh.so”. Said the fairy while nodding to understand the reason the little girl who was being herself was teary-eyed to refrain from crying.
It's okay, sir Herdi's family and Bu Lida's known good family, insyaAllah sister is happy with their family”. Then the fairy tried to calm Anis.
Finished in make-up Anis also took careless kebaya that has been prepared Bu Lida. He was not in the mood to choose a kebaya to be used for a marriage that he did not want at all. He took the green kebaya and put it on.
Finish changing clothes Anis out and sit between her parents. She looks so pretty. All the eyes in the room looked at him in amazement. Because indeed all this time Anis is not the type of girl who is good at berias and uses makeup tools. She always looks natural only with my baby powder on her cheeks that are already white.
“You are very beautiful son, very suitable with this kebaya”. Bu Lida kebada Anis.
“Thanks ma’. Anis smiled.
...****************...
Dikantor Reza had just finished a meeting with his clients, and soon Libya arrived.
“What a shame are you really going to get married today”? Ask Libya to Reza.
“Down baby, I don't want to talk about it”. Answer Reza lazily
“Kring….Cring….Crane..”
Reza's phone rang, on his phone screen it was written the name “Mama”.
“Assalamu’alaikum, Yes hello ma.” Reza.
“Wa’alaikumsalam, where are you now? Everyone has been waiting here a long time.”. Bu Lida told his son.
“Ma please ma..Reza loves Libya very much. Even though Reza married the son of Budi Buka Reza can not just be separated from Libya. Reza would hurt two women at once. Please understand ma”. Please Reza to his mother.
“Your love will grow over time, and with Libya? Mama knows she's a good girl despite her high style, but it's better Anis daughter Pak Budi”. Answer ms. Lida.
“You are here now, this is the request of your father who is currently weak in the hospital, if within 30 minutes you are not here, too, mama and papa will not consider you again as a child” said Ms. Lida threatened her son.
Reza disconnected her phone. And said to Libya who had heard her conversation with Ms. Lida on the phone.
“Dear please listen to me, I love you so much I don't want any of this to happen baby. I promise to solve this problem and marry you”. Reza said as he looked at Libya's face that had begun to get wet.
“Don't promise me too much dear, this is already quite enough to make me hurt”. Said Libya with a trembling voice.
“Please don't hate me baby, I don't want this to happen to our relationship”. Reza hugged Libya.
“Of course I don't hate you, I still love you so much right now. I'll wait for you to come back to me dear”. Said Libya returning Reza's embrace tightly.
The two agreed to remain in a relationship even though Reza was married.
“I go first ya babe”. Said Reza sampil tucking Libya's forehead.
“I want to come”. Libyan Saying.
“Don't !! It will hurt you more later. I don't want to hurt you too much”. Reza said as she rubbed Libyan tears on her cheeks.
“Let me come and watch your wedding, this is my request before you marry someone else dear. I want you to see how sick I am when you pledge ijab qobul later”, replied Libia
I want you to remember me continuously and quickly be able to solve this problem’. Libya continues.
Reza finally resigned to the Libyan argument. They enter the car and drive towards the Pearl of Love hospital. Arriving in Mr. Herdi's room, everyone was waiting including the ruler.
“Why did you bring Libya here?’ ask Bu Lida to his son in annoyance.
“Let me see Reza for the last time before she marries aunt”. Speak Libya to Ms. Lida.
“Ok does not matter, but you have to promise not to make a mess here’. Assert Ms. Lida to Libya.
Libya just nodded in response to Ms. Lida's words. While Reza just resigned with all that his mother said.
Not far from there it turns out Anis noticed Reza and Libya when entering the room together. He was sure that the woman who spoke to Ms. Lida was the man's lover who was none other than Mr. Herdi's son.
Everyone sat back. Reza sat in front of the head. Libya sat in the back row and watched Reza very keenly. His heart was cut like a knife. Eyes glazed.
“Are you ready”? Ask Pengghulu to Reza.
Reza just nodded without making a sound.
Then the ruler said the marriage contract answered by Reza.
“SAH” answer everyone in the room. Libya's eyes are unable to stem its tears and tremble. He then walked out leaving the people who were inside the room. Libya ran out of the hospital with tears continuing to flow. When he entered an elevator he hit someone.
“Bruuuuuk, aaww”. Shouted Libya suddenly.
“Eh sorry, sorry I accidentally’. Said the man while looking towards Libya who was still crying.
