Should We Get Married?

Responsibilities

The three of us sat facing each other. For a moment we were silent, both still groggy after a long time did not meet. Actually this meeting is very much missed, especially for us young people who are drunk with love. Despite knowing the sharia, still sometimes the affairs of the heart are difficult to control. That's why I'm always careful, especially when I meet Mas Bagas. It is undeniable, the name of the devil's temptation is there, the whisper is so subtle that those of us who know the rules become slipping.

"Yu," he called out, making my heart beat. "I already know everything. When I found out that my heart was so broken, all the dreams we kept were shattered. Some days I lose my passion to live because everything I do today is one of them for our future. But unfortunately all must be destroyed." he took a deep breath, as if hinting about his heavy heart. "But I've thought carefully that I won't change. I will accept the reality. For me, you who used to remain the same as you are now. Nothing's changed, Yu."

"Ta .. but," I played the end of the veil. Bagas doesn't know everything. He only knows about the incident the examiner**** that, but not with my current condition which is two-bodied. Unfortunately, my lips are too faint to explain everything. I can't afford it.

"Well pregnant." continued Tika. He knew that I would not be able to say it because to me it was a great disgrace. Until now I have not been able to accept the existence of this baby.

"What's? Pregnant?" mas Bagas was aghast.

While I bow my head deepened. Oh, how bleak my world feels.

"Then how?" ask Bagas. "Do you think Ayu should marry that man?"

"No, of course not!" I said.

"We're trying to get him into prison!" Add the Tika

"Oh, thank goodness. Then I will say that I will be responsible for what you bear, Yu. I will be a father to the boy so you don't have to bear the shame of being too heavy" said Mas Bagas.

"What's? You're not kidding, are you, Gas?" ask me Tika.

While I cannot say anything because I am still confused, whether to be happy or sad about what Bagas has to offer.

I admit that I love her, even wish that I could marry her one day. But that's later, not now. Right now I just want to go to school and realize my goals as a doctor. But God did another thing, He gave me a test that I don't know if I can get through.

"How, Yu? If you accept my impromptu proposal, then I will talk to your father to formalize it." added mas Bagas.

"Gas, I'm honestly very happy because there's a nice guy who wants to help my sister. But this is too impromptu and ..." mbak Tika can not continue his words.

"What, mbak? Not to face problems like this we have to think and make decisions quickly. Mbak knows, when the day continues to change then the content of Ayu will continue to grow. If it is too long, the baby may even be born first" said Mas Bagas.

"That's right, but ..." Tika's mom is still hanging.

"But just knowing is not enough. Marriage is not a two day thing. Especially with the incident that has happened to Ayu. How are your parents? Are they also like you, able to accept Ayu? Can you love each other if you get married?" mbak Tika is still not satisfied either.

"At this time my father and mother don't know yet. I have not dared to discuss with them because I do not know yet whether Ayu would accept me or not. And if it's my problem and Ayu's, honestly we've both liked each other. Although we keep it in silence but we are both committed later after our goals are achieved then we will get married. Is that Yu?" ask Bagas.

Hearing Bagas' question, my cheeks instantly met red. I don't know what to answer because this is the first time anyone other than us both knows how we feel.

"Really, Yu?" mbak Tika made sure.

I nodded, unable to raise my face because now my face was flushed with embarrassment.

"Why don't you ever talk?" now it's my turn to be interrogated.

"Because this relationship can not be brought to the pelaminan in the near future, so we decided to both keep it in silence, mbak." mas Bagas represents to answer it.

"Hmmm, so you both have feelings. Well then, if you are confident and can accept Ayu as she is, InshaAllah will be supportive." Said mbak Tika.

"Thank you, thank you!" mas Bagas gave thanks.

That day Bagas also met with Dad to discuss his purpose to propose to me. Although the father embraced the school that allowed to marry a woman who was pregnant even though it was not the biological father of the baby, but the father could not give an answer. I want to talk to Bagas' parents first. I wonder if they can accept me too.

"Just like Tika said, this marriage is half of religion. Weight. Must be thought out. I don't want you to make a decision just to follow your heart and feelings.

At the moment Ayu does need a man who can be responsible for the baby she contains and we have no desire to hold her accountable by marrying Ayu to the man who has already cursed her. But, back again as I said at the beginning, I want our family to be able to accept Ayu as she is. I can't see a daughter I love so much that she's not happy.

In this case, Ayu is innocent. He is only a victim and should not accept judgment from anyone. So, if you're really serious about marrying my daughter, please bring your parents here to formally propose to Ayu." Challenge father.

Tubs titted. Mas Bagas also did not mind to bring his parents. He promised that tomorrow he would come back here with his father and mother to propose to me.

After Bagas left, it was my turn to integrate. Dad questioned whether I would be willing to marry Bagas.

"Whatever has happened to you now, I don't want it all burdening you so forced to accept Bagas' proposal. But I want you to accept it with all your heart because you want it." said Dad.
