TerLove (Love After Wedding)

Big decisions.

Along the way to the house, Anas kept thinking about Mr. Permana's request. Completely confused and astonished, why was she the one chosen to marry Cantika? Isn't Mr Permana a successful entrepreneur? That man must have known a lot of rich people. Why not choose one of her acquaintance's children, or perhaps her business partner as the girl's future husband? Ahhh, Anas forgot! Mr. Permana wants to choose a man who is able to guide his daughter. Why was he chosen? Anas felt unworthy to carry the burden.

I can't be a good man yet. Can I change the attitude of a girl like her? If I refuse, will Mr Permana not be hurt? He has been so kind to me and my late father. It doesn't feel good if I can't fulfill this request. But marriage is no joke. What am I supposed to do?

His mind sometimes goes forward, sometimes backwards. His heart was so riled up. If he followed his instincts as a man, of course he would be willing to marry the beautiful girl. But if considering the future, it is impossible for him to choose a mother-to-be who behaves badly for his children in the future.

But...It could be that the girl changed, right?! When I first met, he was so friendly and kind to me. Basically the boy is good. Ahhhh, I don't know. I'm really confused!

He did not feel like he was in front of his little house. The four-room building is the legacy of his parents. Anas just a little renovated from the results of selling profits.

On the porch of the house, sat a dimpled girl. Stand with a smile when you see the owner is home.

"Mas, where's it coming from?"

"Mira, I'm from Mr. Permana's house, father and mother's best friend." Parked his vehicle, opened his helmet and walked up to the girl.

"I was cooking gudeg, maybe Mas want to taste?" thrusting the rantang he held.

"Well, thanks! Just know that I like this food." Taking a bushel and smelling its aroma. "Sweetie! But I'm still full, I'll eat it later. I will definitely spend, your cooking is the most delicious!" smilingly.

Mira glinted at the arch on the man's lips. It is so beautiful and sweet!

"Mas, I'm saying goodbye. Maghrib soon."

"Yes, thank you so much for the gudeg."

"Either. See you at the Masjid !" Smile and pass.

"God's Inshaa..."

Anas immediately went into the house. Put the bushel on the table in the middle room. Go to the bathroom to clean up. After that, go to the mosque to pray for congregation and teach children to teach.

Go home from there, Anas take a break. His body will return to activity after morning blind around three o'clock. Usually do tahajud and so on. While waiting for dawn to arrive, he prepared ingredients to be processed as food to be sold.

At 7 or half 8 am late, Anas is ready to peddle yellow rice on the terrace of his house. Usually the mothers and girls who swarm buy their wares. The yellow rice is in demand. In addition to its delicious taste and cheap price, which is the attraction of buyers is the friendly attitude and sweet face of the seller.

That is the daily life of Anas Malik.

This morning Mr. Permana knocked on his daughter's bedroom door. It's been a few times, but there's no sound from inside.

"Cantika, it's not good for girls to wake up during the day. Open the door, boy! Papi has to talk to you about something important."

After a long time, the door opened. The matted face was still sleepy, poking out from behind the door. "What's wrong?" his voice is a bit hoarse. Mr. Permana smiled, "May Papi come in?" Cantika nodded and walked towards the sofa. His father followed and sat down next to him.

"Well, Papi loves you very much. You are a sign of Papi and the late Mami. Papi won't see you ruined." Sticky-looking.

Cantika held his temple, "Don't beat around a lot, just tell me what Papi really wants !"

"Son, Papi wants to set you up with Anas. Papi.." the sentence was cut off.

Cantika stood wrathfully, "That tacky guy yesterday ? Why would papi carelessly match me with her ?"

Mr. Permana stood up and held his daughter's shoulders. "Well, Anas is a good man. Papi's sure he'll be the right husband for you. Papi hopes he will also accept this matchmaking."

Cantika threw his father's hand, "I don't want to be betrothed to any man. Let me decide for myself!"

"Son, this is for your own good. Papi wants you back to being a good woman."

"But I don't want to. Now please Papi get out of my room, my head is getting dizzy because of this crazy plan !" holding his head that feels like it is about to break.

"Alright, but please think again about this Papi request !" Pass away.

Daytime in the family room.

Riri and Bu Sofi were talking. They were talking about Cantika's matchmaking plan.

"Ma, who wants to be betrothed to Sister Cantika ?" ask Riri.

"But said the hell, son of his best friend. The man is good and responsible. Hope they are fooled. Mama wants to see Cantika change."

"Hopefully yes, Ma....I also want the best for Cantika. But, is this plan going to work ?"

"Hopefully."

"Ma, where did this idea come from ?"

"Actually the one who suggested that Cantika be married soon was Mama. Mama just wants Papi to reduce his burden a little. If your sister gets married, someone will guide her. So Papi can be a little relieved."

Cantika clapped her hands as she approached the two women. Smiling sarcastically, "Wahhh, what a great idea you have, fairy godmother! Is this a way to get me out of this house?"

"It's not like that, brother. Mama's only good intentions." Riri.

"Diem, Lo! I know you guys really want to take care of me. Really sneaky! I hate hypocrites!" clamor.

Bu Sofi held her stepson's hand but was crushed. "Cantika, we really have no evil intentions on anyone. Mama wants what's best for you and Papi."

"Don't believe meee ! You lickers !" waltzing away.

Bu Sofi cried in the arms of her son. Riri tried to calm the woman down. Both hoped Cantika would soon change and accept their presence as part of the family.

Week pass.

This afternoon, Anas returned to visit Mr. Permana's house. After really trying to seek enlightenment, he had finally made up his mind.

In the living room, Anas sat opposite to Mr. Permana. There's no one else there. Bu Sofi and Riri were at the Hospital to visit Grandpa. And Cantika, I don't know where the girl is right now.

"How, Anas? What decision?"

Anas took a deep breath before speaking, "Why are you sure I'm the right man for your daughter?"

"Now! Besides, I know very well if you are the man in charge. You are the kind of daughter-in-law I expected." Sticky-looking.

"After much consideration, I decided to fulfill your request. I am willing to marry Cantika, with a note that she accepts me willingly. Without any coercion from anyone."

Mr. Permana smiled broadly, "Alhamdulilah. But Cantika has not yet given an answer. I also don't know where he is, his phone can't be reached. I'll talk about it all to Cantika. I hope she accepts this match."

"But, I'm willing to marry this man !" A cantika suddenly appeared in front of the main door. Slowly he approached the two.

Anas gave her a quick glance, then immediately lowered her head. For some reason, his heart was beating faster?

Mr. Permana stood up, "Are you sure of this decision?"

"I'm willing to marry Papi's chosen man. If you can, marry us soon!" Then I can get out of this house. Don't look at the hypocritical faces of those cunning women!

Mr. Permana smiled happily, "Let's sit down! Maybe you want to talk to Anas. Papi's going to the room for a minute." After his daughter sat down, the man immediately left. Deliberately leaving the two to get to know each other more freely.

Connect first, sorry.....!
