"You are, like to surprise Mom! Thankfully, I have no heart disease! " said her mother while pinching the clenched clench of Davin's burly arm.
"Because I don't have a history of heart disease, I'm afraid! " reply Davin with his reasoning.
"Well, you can never win! There's always an answer! " sahut Ibu Tinah resigned.
"Well, that's what I know! Mother's son from the past is smart to talk! " reply Davin again to Mother.
"Yes yes... Love your heart, son! " sahut Ibu Tinah resigned and relented.
"Mom.... ! "
"Hmmm.. "
"If anyone likes Mom and wants to propose to Mom to be her wife, do you accept the man's proposal? " ask Davin with a feeling of crabbing.
"Haha... You are mah Ngaco! Anybody wants to be the same old woman as Mom! Stir up you mah! " answered Mother Tinah giggled.
"Davin asks like Mom! We don't know God's destiny for our future! " said Davin again in a serious tone.
"If that's the case, I don't know! Because honestly I never thought about marrying again what else I used to be afraid of not being able to give enough attention and affection to you! I don't want to make you lack of affection and I don't want to make you feel like I'm a favoritist if I get married again and have another child! Not to mention later Mother will also be busy serving her husband. That's the important reason I rejected male props when you were a kid! " replied Tinah's mother with glaring eyes.
Davin was moved by Mother's affection for her, she embraced her Mother's shoulder and leaned her head on her shoulder.
"Stay now the condition is different, ma'am, Davin is already big and not a child who thirsts for affection and attention! You can remarry if a man asks you to be his wife! " davin said to his mother again.
"Haha... If now anyone wants to be the same old woman as Mom! You're kidding me over! " my mother replied with a back chuckle.
"If there is a Mom? We do not know the destiny of God! You still want to receive a male proposal if the man is a good man, who wants to spend his old age with you as his companion? " ask Davin again in a serious tone.
"If he is a good man and Soleh why not! It's just that I'm not sure if there's a guy who wants to be just like an old woman like Mom! " answered the mother who made Davin happy.
"Why are you happy with Mom's answer?? I am suspicious of you! " he said again with his eyes peeking at Davin.
"Ish, um I suspect what the hell! Davin just wants to make Mom happy, and not be lonely anymore when Davin's working! Although Mom now lives in Pondok Pesantren, but you do not have friends when at home. Friends tell stories in the afternoon while drinking tea and friends tell stories when Mom's heart is broken! " said Davin with his reasoning.
"Yes, yes, too... Mom is astonished! Never-never-before you talk like this with Mom and it makes Mom suspicious! " my mother answered again to give her reason.
"Sorry Mom, if all this time Davin is not sensitive to work and leave Mom alone at home and make Mom lonely! " davin said sincerely.
"Who said mom was lonely huh...! Just indiscriminate by the way! " his mother's nagging pretended to be angry.
"So the point is that you want to if there is a man coming to propose to you? " ask Davin again to confirm the mother's answer.
Tinah's mother nodded her head and Davin smiled happily as she gave her thumb to someone behind her.
...****************...
After the day of the completion of the twins' aqiqah, Pakde Soleh gathered everyone including all the children and the daughter-in-law Mama Lia and Papa Idris.
But before that, he had spoken six eyes with Mother Tinah with her daughter Annisa witness.
A few hours before the meeting.
"Ekhem.... Can I sit here ? " ask Pakde Soleh to Ibu Tinah who is sitting at the pool.
Tinah's mother seemed restless because she was alone sitting here, she did not want later people to prejudge her by sitting together with men who were not her mahram.
Pakde Soleh who understood the anxiety of Mother Tinah immediately called Annisa who was deliberately standing not far from where they were sitting.
"I know the concerns of Dek Tinah, so I call my son Annisa to accompany us here so as not to cause slander! " said Pakde Soleh who made the look of Mother Tinah's face relieved.
"A-There's a need for what Mas to see me? " ask Mother Tinah a little nervous.
For some reason he was suddenly nervous and broke out in a cold sweat while sitting near the man in front of him, his heart even racing as if it was about to jump out.
Annisa chuckles amusedly at the nervousness of Mother Tinah because it is seen from her attitude that squeezes her hands tightly.
"I'm sorry if this surprises Dek Tinah, to be honest this is the first time I have spoken to a woman other than my late wife 18 years ago. I fell in love with Dek Tinah when we first met at Pondok Pesantren his Sulaeman. It's up to Dek Tinah to think I'm a sloth because honestly it's my true feeling. I want to make Dek Tinah my life companion, accompany my old days, be my story companion, share my joys and sorrows until death picks us up. Will Dek Tinah together live all this in the bonds of marriage? " said Pakde Soleh at length.
"What???? " said Ms. Tinah with a shocked face.
"I'm sorry if my words make Dek Tinah surprised! " said Pakde Soleh with a sorry face.
"Eong....No papa Mas. I mean that, what did Mas say was really the real thing? I am not a perfect woman and I am also old and not beautiful! " sahut Ibu Tinah is rather pessimistic.
"Who said Dek Tinah was old and not beautiful? Even for me Dek Tinah is young and very beautiful! " said Pakde Soleh earnestly.
Mother Tinah's face immediately flushed like a ripe tomato hearing Pakde Soleh's praise on her.
"Jeek...Smart that my mom's aki-aki menggombal! I am losing to Aki-aki! " whispered Davin who was peeping with Izam.
"Everything you learn nyong ama Pakde, I see Pakde's temperature in proposing to women! Do you want Aulia on the first embat with another man? " whispered Izam heated up Davin.
"Garcep dong garcap ! Let's not star first for someone else ! " said Izam while whispering again.
"Well, your talk makes me hotter! As you shut up, I want to hear my mother's answer! " sawut Davin who began to be arrogant with the words of his curse friends who always make his heart hot.
They again eavesdropped on the talk of Pakde Solah and Ibu Tinah on the edge of the pool.
"How's Deck? Will you be my wife? " ask Pakde Soleh again to Ms. Tinah.
"But I can't give you offspring because of age? " ask Mother Tinah back.
"Mas getting married isn't to continue Dek's descent? Mas just want to have friends share likes and sorrows, friends share stories, love each other until death to pick up. " replied Pakde again honestly.
"But what about the rest of the family? " ask Mother Tinah for the reason.
"Nisa agrees, Mom! Even Nisa is happy that Abah is married again and has a interlocutor other than Nisa "*Annisa said in a comment.
" Nah, you heard it yourself, didn't you, Grandpa ! So how's your answer? If the matter of Davin Mas has spoken to your son it will be the desire of Mas, and he gave up completely the same as you ! " said Pakde Soleh again.
"Then according to Mas, I'll go! " said Tinah with a shy face.
"So you mean, you received Mas's sudden proposal? " ask Pakde Soleh once again.
Tinah's mother answered her with a slow nod. It was heard from the lips of Pakde Soleh and Annisa on the answer of Mother Tinah.
Meanwhile at Davin and Izam's spot peeking and eavesdropping, Izam patted slowly while talking with a concerned face to his best friend.
"Congratulations Bro! Your mother has sold out, now lives her son who still does not sell alias jones singles ngenes! " lop Izam while running after patting Davin's shoulder.
"****** ....! You damn friend! " reveal Davin quietly with a heartfelt snob.
Back again at this moment*...
After everyone gathered including Amay, Pakde Soleh also expressed his intention to gather them all.
"Bismilbornrahmaanirrahiim.... I'm sorry if I make you all surprised by my words. Dek Tinah and I decided to get married soon. Because we are no longer young, we will hold a simple marriage, which is only a marriage contract both religiously and legally. Please pray for our goodwill! " said Pakde Soleh with the face of sumringah.
"Alhamdulillah..."
"Whataaa?????? " scream Davin and Amay together as everyone gives thanks.
All eyes looked at the two of them, Amay who was really shocked even said that made Davin even more arrogant bin annoyed.
"Tok see Amay like that? Is it wrong that Amay is surprised? Amay just did not think that Pakde moved quickly also by proposing to Mother. Means Mas Davin lost star dong to Mom? Amay just pity to see Mas Davin lost step to Pakde and Mother, Mommy sold out first than his son! Davin sucks! Want to be single to old too? " said Amay with her innocent face.
"Huahahahaha." Everyone laughed at Amay's words.
Only Davin was upset bin goiter bin gedek bin dongkol half-dead with a telling from his adopted brother.
"Dear Amay, can't you talk to your sister like that? " reprove Papa Rahman gently when he sees Davin's irritated face.
"Sorry Papa...Amay is just saying what's in Amay's heart! " said Amay with a sorry face.
"No dear, what you say is not a lie, aka it is true! The young yes lost the same old star, Hahahaha.." said Izam with a loud laugh.
"Basic of a bad couple! It's so nice to mock your own brother! Mother also made Davin shocked, should have let Davin get married first! Let not pamali child in step his mother! " said Davin, half-dead.
"Maha...." Everyone laughed again with the reason of Davin's shock.
"Already, already...! You are, where there is a child in the footsteps of his mother! " lerai Pak lek Rohim while leaning towards his nephew.
"My wife and I welcome the goodwill of Kang Soleh with Mbak Tinah. We honor the good intentions of you two! " said Mr. Lek Rohim again.
"We agree too! " said Mama Lia, Papa Idris, Papa Rahman and others.
"When will Kang Soleh and Mbak Tinah get married? " ask Mama Lia excitedly.
"God willing in two weeks, Besan! " answer Pakde Soleh.
"What???? Why so fast??? Davin doesn't agree??? " call Davin in shock.
"Yes, Amay disagrees too! " amay also shouted out in protest.
Hearing Amay also protest makes Davin feel happy because there are people who agree with him.
"Amay does not agree that Pakde is married in two weeks! Why not two more days here! So Amay can watch Pakde's wedding too, because if two weeks away it must be her wedding at the cottage. Amay is sad not to see Pakde get married! With Brother's connection, all you want can be done in two days! " said Amay again expressing his dislike.
"Strade ! "
Davin fainted at once upon hearing the reason for Amay's refusal.
