Second Pinang

Ten Step Candidate

Mak Nur entered without permission. The two human children in the room were shocked. Aidha had heard the name Aji come out of the mouth of Mak Nur. He was worried that the man was his papa rival.

However, when Aidha asked about who Aji was, Mak Nur instead told him to go home. The reason is because Mr. Kus has already picked up. With a heavy heart the teenage girl immediately took her bag. Calling Salwa because they must return home immediately.

Disa increasingly unable to stand the attitude of mother. What are you really afraid of? To act like that to Aidha and Salwa. My mother loved those two girls.

Aidha and Salwa say goodbye. After the return of two of his disciples, Disa rebuked mother. Straighten the attitude of the mother who is mistaken and somewhat overstepped the limits.

"Mom, you shouldn't be acting like this. Poor Aidha, he was immediately disappointed when told to go home." He tried to hold back his emotions.

Mak who was arranging the dishes turned to look, "Lha indeed she has been picked up, Sa."

"Emak why the hell? Surprised by mom. Why did I mention the name of Aji in front of Aidha? What the hell is Mom actually talking about with Mr. Dani?" Disa brought out all the questions she had in mind.

"Mak just wants you to get the best soul mate of the world and the afterlife, Sa! Is it wrong to expect that from you? Aji is the right guy! Not the others!"

Disa was stunned to hear Mak Nur's answer. The finest? Best according to whose version? God or mother? He shook his head to hear the statement his mother made.

"The best according to Mother is not necessarily the best for Disa. Allah SWT is the noblest determinant. We're just trying, not indoctrinating should be with people we see as good."

Silence possessed both. Tension still dominated the room. Mom sat down to let her emotions subside.

"Dani is a widower, Nduk. He already has two children. It will be hard if you choose it. Your biggest challenge is later, when you conceive your own child, and give birth. Can you still love them as they are today? Mom just wants to avoid you from the reproach of people whose status is more than ours. Not to mention later if anything happens to them. Do you want to blame someone else?" Mom finally expressed worry in her mind.

He was still silent and still. He can't guarantee that. Everything was still so blurry for him. What made him disagree was his attitude towards her.

It's like living in a cage. These few days Disa as dictated by mak Nur, how he should step. Not to be misguided, and regret later. She knows she loves him very much.

However, Disa is an adult. He also has a grip on life, that is, science, God willing he is not lost.

"Mommy, Disa thanks mom for worrying about me. God willing, I'll be wiser." It could end that debate.

He was back in his room. Take a moment and then take a paper. Write down what steps to take. About Aidha's question, and also about Aji's proposal later.

He wrote down every step that had to be done. It was all because he wanted to be meticulous and have no regrets behind.

Reza, who had just returned home from the office, immediately rushed to take a shower. He will introduce Sita to her parents. Not as an ordinary friend, but a future wife who will be betrothed.

Arsya, Rida, and Sita are waiting in front of the house. They will go to Holy. Yes, Reza's parents reside in Kudus. Sita looks so nervous. Arsya and Rida tease him.

"Ta, shadow Mas this is Reza's papi. Your mami the doi. Um ..., Sita, have you graduated yet?" arsya asked, imitating the voice of a woman.

"God willing next month, Auntie." Sita answered Arsya gracefully.

"Alhamdulillah, means next week can dong Papi and family meet your parents?" Now Arsya's voice became heavy, like a man's.

"But! Very smooth chat new two questions directly want to meet mommy?" rida protested.

Reza came on foot. They immediately rushed to the car. Because it's getting dark. Rida leaves Aidha and Salwa for Yem, because Dani hasn't come home yet.

Reza walked with Sita. While Arsya is parallel to Rida while holding Andra. Rida's husband's mouth was itching to tease her sister-in-law. Be him singing dangdut songs by changing the lyrics.

"My candidate is indeed close ..., ten steps from home ..., no need to send a letter ..., SMS also does not need ...."

Sita and Reza immediately looked back. Laughing at that song. Their footsteps were over ten. They got into the car. Arsya sat in front with Reza holding Andra. While Sita sat behind Reza side by side with her brother, Rida.

Along the way, only Reza, Arsya, and Rida chat. Sita silently looked at the street lights passing by so quickly. Reza glanced at him from the rearview mirror. Seen a look of worry.

"Who ..., what's diem?" ask Reza.

"Buskey! Who called him, Mas ...." Rida patted Arsya's shoulder hard.

"Why bestie? Shaking bestie ..., soon to meet camer, but have not been discouraged ayang ...." Arsya and Rida said it together.

Sita held back her laughter. Wonderful about those two. It was so compact that it teased him. Hopefully Andra doesn't follow in their nosy footsteps.

"You guys, yeah! It's so nice to tease us! Don't be tense, Yang. Mami is equally relaxed, papi" said Reza reassured Sita.

"Yes still, Mas. This meeting is different." Sita tidied back her hijab.

"What makes it different, Ta?" ask Rida.

"Because .., tonight I was introduced as a choice of hearts mas Za. Not just as a friend. Except a life partner, Ma'am. Grogi aja so, afraid that mami same papi do not like me," said Sita.

"Please, Ta. Positive thinking dong adek .., berdo'a." Rida clasped Sita's hand and convinced her.

They've reached Reza's parents' house. Great is the first impression when you see it. Compared to Sita's parents' house, the residence was more luxurious. Reza honks to open the gate.

After the door opened, the car drove up to the front door. All down, Reza knocks on the door and says hello. ART came to welcome and let in.

Reza immediately called mami and papi. Sita's heart is beating faster. Hearing the approaching steps.

"Aaa ..., Mami's future daughter-in-law is here!" said Mami Farah while hugging Rida.

Making Sita dumbfounded, Rida let go of the embrace with a little force.

"Wrong, Te. It's Rida!" arsya's wife protest.

"Huh? Any timing? Which glass eye, Pi?"

"Glasses, Mommy ...." Everyone shouted the same words.

Sita laughs with the hilarious behavior of Farah's mother.
