"What??? Is their family a good person? Mama's just afraid of letting you go to the wrong family! " saw her Mama with a face of shock and worry.
Aulia smiled with her Mama's worries, her parents did not know who Davin really was.
"Ma, Pa! Actually Mas Davin was the son of Abah Sulaeman and Umi Hafizah who was pronounced dead at birth! So, have you made sure what their family is like?? " said Aulia again which made both her parents in shock.
"MasyaAllah.... ! So Pak Kyai and Bu Nyai's children are still alive?? " ask Papa who still does not believe.
"Yes, Pa! This has been proven by the results of DNA tests Mas Davin and Pak lek Rohim! What do you think of your mom as well? Did Papa and Mama get Aulia married to Mas Davin?? " answered, asking back.
"Yes Nak! We wish you were married to Nak Davin! Mama still can't believe if her late son Pak Kyai will be your soul mate! Mama should prepare her as best she can! Papa should help Mama! " said her Mama Aulia with great enthusiasm.
"Ma, don't overdo it! It's just a proposal, not a wedding yet! " sahut Aulia reminded her Mama.
"Yes, I can't do it dong! Everything should be prepared as well as possible, let alone this will be the first and last event for our family! Anyway you just calm down, let Mama and Papa take care of everything, you stay in order! " said her mother did not care.
"But Aulia doesn't want Mama and Papa to be tired just for preparing all of her own! Why not ask people to help, this is not a big event yet! " said Aulia with a worried face.
"The seed said your mother! This is a special occasion for our family especially for Papa and Mama! You don't have to worry, son, let us do what parents have to do for their children! Things we never did for you! God willing, we will both be healthy until you give Mama and Papa your grandchildren! " reply to Papa with teary eyes.
"Papa... Mama... ! " said Aulia and hugged her parents in a happy cry.
The three of them cried while hugging tightly, his Papa kissed the tops of the heads of the two women he loved so much with a happy face.
"Papa is happy to see Papa's only daughter getting married, and it feels hard to let go of you to another man! " his Papa said again which made Aulia even more crying.
"Wish you could be a good wife to your husband and a good parent to your children! " he added again by kissing Aulia's long forehead.
That night they cried to the eyes because of the slow crying.
Next morning.
Mama Irah and her husband came to her brother's house aka her uncle Aulia or more easily Papa's sister Zahra her cousin.
Zahra was discharged from the hospital and temporarily rested in the village because he was still recovering.
They were all very enthusiastic when they got this happy news, even more so when they found out who Davin really was. His uncle and family also helped prepare his family sports proposal Davin.
...****************...
Meanwhile, Pak lek and Bulek postponed their return for three days because they would prepare the shipment for Davin's proposal to Aulia.
They're gonna go home and propose to Aulia for Davin. Mama Lia helped Bulek Saroh, and they both prepared whatever they would bring with them on this proposal.
During these two weeks Ali deftly and skillfully worked to help Davin, as he was about to apply to his village of Aulia, he completed all his work on helping Ali.
Ali and Elya were also invited by Davin as a group from the male side at the application event later.
It has been three days Amay sulked and sulked because he could not attend his bestie application event. Izam forbids her to come along because of pity with the twins who are still small on the road far away.
"My dear... ! Pity the twins and love if they come! Moreover, they have not even two months, and you know our children are born prematurely. Brother is afraid they are susceptible to disease, especially the place they first visited. "persuade Izam when he returned from the office.
Amay who was breastfeeding Zaid only sighed harshly. Honestly, he was so sad that he could not witness a special moment for his best friend. But she was also afraid of taking the twins away for fear that the twins were sick just as her husband feared.
"Yes, Bang, don't talk about it anymore! Make me even sadder! " sahut Amay with a flat tone.
"Dear, you won't say that anymore! " answered Izam obediently.
Three nuns or babysitters had been living in the Barzakh residence a week ago. All three wear hijab with an age range that is almost the same, which is about 39 years and above. The three are also married and have children who are still in school.
The three sisters only work from 8 am to 8 pm, right after Izam returned home from work. So, they can still take care of children and husbands at home.
...****************...
Aulia and Davin finally arrived. There were four cars that left there, Izam with his parents, Davin with Pak Lek and his Bulek, Ali with Elya and her husband and Fahri, too, while another car to pick up his mother and Pakde Soleh.
Papa Rahman could not come because he accompanied Amay and the twins at home, because it was impossible for them to leave Amay and the twins without any family waiting for him.
After the completion of the morning prayer, Aulia was dandan pretty using a maroon-colored kebaya with a subordinate batik cloth, compact with batik clothes that Davin wore when leaving earlier.
All his family have been gathered since yesterday afternoon including his cousin Zahra who is still recovering.
"They're leaving, son? " asked her mother as she entered Aulia's room.
"From 7 o'clock Ma, two more hours will also arrive! " answered Aulia who was wearing her hijab.
"If you have breakfast, there is still time! Ntar was starving when the show started! Mela... ! Bring your sister some breakfast and bring her here! " his mother said as she shouted to one of their relatives.
It sounded authentic from outside the room and soon a woman entered the room with a tray containing a plate of rice complete with side dishes and a glass of water.
Aulia nodded with a happy smile as she was the first time the mother had fed her since her brother died. When his sister was still there, he was still often fed by his mother.
Aulia opened her mouth as the spoon filled with rice and the side dish was already pointed at her mouth. The bribes he received from his mother made his heart flowery and happy. He ate his food until the rice and side dishes were gone.
Aulia was done in the grooming, and now she was playing games on her phone while waiting for the arrival of her future husband.
Two hours later, the sound of the car horn stopped its activities. Her heart was beating fast and one of her relatives told her that the person they were waiting for had arrived.
Mr. Mardi and Ms. Sumirah welcomed Davin and his family with a smile on their faces. His uncle Aulia also welcomed them and he embraced with Pak lek Rohim.
"I didn't think I was Mr. Kyai! We became brothers because of this marriage! Come on-let's all go in! " uncle Aulia said with a bright face to Mr. Lek Rohim.
"Yes Mr. Partner! I am so happy to have Aulia as part of our family! " replied Mr. Lek Rohim with a small smile.
"Aren't you groggy? New proposal, not yet done! Don't be shy in me if you're nervous like that! "joked Izam by whispering in Davin's ear.
"Campret... You damn friend! Instead of encouraging even make people more groggy! " said Davin quietly while whispering.
"Hehehe.... " Izam chuckled at the annoyance of his best friend.
"Udah, no.. Izam said, don't be nervous! This is just a proposal, not yet the akad event whose atmosphere is more creepy than this! " said Fahri who initially defended turned out to be the same, Both mocking.
"Elu too! Damn I have two friends who have no morals like you both! " davin's murmur was exasperated to death.
They both chuckled and went straight into the house ahead of the bride-to-be.
They sat in the living room on a soft carpet. Two families face each other with Mr. Lek Rohim as a spokesman from Davin's side and Uncle Mitra's spokesman from Aulia's side.
"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim.. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi.. ! We all came here in order to build friendship with Mr. Mardi and his extended family. I as the guardian of Davin Pratama, convey the intention of our arrival here to propose or ask Princess Pak Mardi to be the wife of our nephew Davin Pratama! Would Mr Mardi and his extended family accept our goodwill? " said Mr. Lek Rohim started this event.
"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.. ! Thank you for the arrival of Mr. Kyai and his entourage to our humble home! I as a spokesperson appointed by my brother Mardi will answer Mr. Kyai's request. Bismilbornrahmanirrahim, we and our family received Mr. Kyai's proposal for Pak Kyai's nephew, Davin Pratama! " answered Uncle Mitra loudly.
"Alhamdulillah." said everyone with a happy smile.
Since entering this house, Davin has unceasingly stolen a glance at his heart adoration sitting across from him with a face down in shame.
"Prophe Bro! Still this proposal, not yet legit want to see for long! " whispered Izam by gently patting Davin's shoulder.
Davin who was shocked immediately changed the look of his face became sour because of the whisper of his best friend's curse.
Izam just chuckles amusedly to see the pouting face of Davin, it feels like he is very happy to tease his best friend.
The next event was the installation of rings on Aulia by Bulek Saroh as a replacement for his birthmate Umi Davin.
When they finished, they talked about when their wedding would take place. All that was talking was the parents, Davin and the others just listening.
"Davin, Julia! We have all agreed that your wedding will be done directly with the marriage certificate in the morning after that proceed with the reception until it is finished! Starting three months from now, and the event will be held at the Atmanegara hotel as asked by Mr. Rahman Atmanegara to me last night. He did not accept rejection and all of Mr. Mardi's extended family were asked to come without exception. He also said that there would be a bus that would take them all to the city! Do you two agree?? " lek Rohim said to Davin and Aulia.
"How long is it Mr. Lek, three months! Mama married Pakde in just two days! My turn is long, three months! " davin protests with a sullen face.
It was not Davin's name if he accepted the elders' decision immediately.
"Alah, say aja elo already can not stand the immediate halal and two-dua same Aul.. ! " izam's ridicule that made Aulia's face instantly met with red.
"Sue lu." Davin was upset.
"Yes, you always protest! When did he get the same old man? The tree should be three months away! Mama, Bulek and your in-laws will prepare everything and you just prepare yourself to memorize the qabul ijab! Kan shy of Kyai Sulaeman's descendants ngakap his ijab qabul repeated! " said Mama Lia accompanied by her sharp gaze like a laser on Davin.
Her mother Aulia smiled amusedly at the face of her future daughter-in-law when she got a sharp look from her in-laws Amay. He already knew if they also consider Davin like their own son, especially Davin his son's friend.
"Your mom is so ugly! A Davin must say ijab qabul over and over again! Mama is not ashamed of her child's marriage vows Ijab qabul wear on repeat! " said Davin again with a sullen face.
"Ngapain Mama shy, people later Mama's face will close, so no one knows how especially later Mama will also not sit near you! " mama Lia replied casually.
"Isa.... Never win if you argue with your mom! Very clever! " davin's murmur is growing again.
"You probably don't! You're also a pinter ngeles if the same Bulek! " said Bulek Saroh who followed cornered him.
"I was attacked by two mothers at once! " his answer with a face deliberately made sad like a victim of a jumping fish soap opera that was persecuted by the antagonist.
"Don't fit your face in making that kayak! " said Izam with a soft menoyor his shoulder Davin.
Davin replies to Izam by hitting his shoulder because he is really upset. Everyone just smiled at their discussion.
"Come on, let's go everyone! Let's have lunch first! I'm sorry if the dish is only potluck! " bring Uncle Mitra to everyone.
