That man is my husband

Warmth of the Family

I was almost late to go home. Even though Abi has been going to phone and nagging is not clear. Once he gets home his tirade will continue. If it is like that no one will be able to howl including umma.

Then, Aa Rey will keep pumping Abi so I can get punished. Sometimes I like to hope when Aa makes a mistake, I feel like I want to come back.

"Assalamu'alaikum." I entered while saying my regards.

"Walaikumsalam," reply compact Abi, Uma same Aa Rey.

At this hour, my family does have a habit of gathering while waiting for the Maghrib prayer time to arrive. Usually when gathering like that various kinds will be discussed. Start trouble job, education me and Aa. With this, each family will be open to each other and each family member will know each other if one family member has problems.

"Tuh, Bi, look at the new girl coming home" said Aa Rey.

Right, my guess. Aa was always like that. Comforter.

Until in front of them I saliminate one-on-one, unless Aa deliberately I pass by. I sat down next to Umma.

"It's starting, huh. The Ais section has the same permission Umma and Abi as well, wew."

Umma and Abi just smile and shake their heads every time Aa and I fight each other's mouths. For them to see and hear us like this is a happiness for Umma and Abi.

"Already, really, so fight that," lerai Umma.

"Leave it, Umma. If they're not rich it's a lonely house."

"Lha, kok, Abi was rich. I love to see his kids fight. They're not kids anymore, Bi."

"Well, that's the problem. Because there are no small children, so let them like that let this rame home," continued Abi with laughter.

Hearing Abi's last words made me and Aa stop clashing their mouths, then immediately looked towards Abi who was laughing.

"So, you mean Abi we're kids?" I'm with Aa Rey.

Abi stopped his laughter and turned to look at me and Aa.

"Umma, don't follow."

"Eh, Ice. You better take a shower and change your clothes, it seems like a few minutes away from the azan magrib," Abi's alibi avoided the gaze of me and Aa.

Well, that's Abi, having eleven twelve as rich as Aa Rey. Yes, I was in the same kid. Ah, Abi, my man wants twenty years of gini. I don't accept it if it's just like a kid, dong. Aa suddenly gave me a code, and I understood Aa's code. Finally I went and pretended to go to the room, when I was behind Abi I immediately gave the code to Aa who sat opposite to Abi.

Then I and I immediately attacked Abi with a deadly tickle.

Here Abi's weakness, not strong amused. Abi complained to ask for forgiveness to stop tickling her. While Umma just kept quiet and laughed at my innocence with Aa and laughed at Abi who kept shouting for mercy.

Kasian too, anyway. Finally the event tickled Abi also ended with Abi who lost of course.

"So, if Rey calls Abi aki-aki not?" ask Aa Rey to Abi who is currently looking boring.

I'm the same Aa's mean, yeah. Abi himself was possessed by that rich man, sorry Abi.

"Emang Abi looks like Aki-aki? It's good that Abi people are still young gini," Abi protested because he didn't want to be said aki-aki.

"No, Abi doesn't want to either, right? Rey also does not want to be in the same rich child. If Ais, anyway, it's nothing he'll be a kid," said Aa Rey and I did not accept.

"Well, yeah, it's delicious. I'd like 20 years, yeah."

"Once a boy is a boy."

"I'm an adult, A."

"Soner."

"Well, gini rich little boy, here. Exactly rich, you" said Umma, pointing at me and Aa. Continue if umma has spoken up all round, no one dares to dwell anymore.

"Aki-aki is also rich in gini. In such a tickling alone has been ngosan that, the stamina is reduced," said Umma again as he pointed towards Abi.

Abi's laughter disappeared immediately, after being hit by a check from Umma. Me and Aa tried to hold back the laughter by covering their mouths with their palms.

The drama ended this afternoon after I heard Azan. All who gathered in the exit room disperse the road and change ready to do the Maghrib congregation prayer.

Right now after dinner, as usual we regroup until nine. At this time we will usually sit separately. Men with men and women with women.

Like now I'm lying on Umma's lap. Making Umma's thigh as a cushion for my head. This position is the most comfortable position for me, not infrequently I can fall asleep in the lap of Umma.

Whether there is a wind from where, suddenly I want to really vent the problems that occur in the village. Mumpung Abi with Aa sitting a little far away and will not hear my curses.

"Umma," call me to Umma who is currently reading a Muslim magazine.

"Hem," replied Umma briefly.

"Can you confide, can't you?"

Hearing the words vent Umma immediately took off his reading glasses and then put them on the table along with the magazine that Umma read.

"looks serious? What, I told Umma."

Without changing positions, I began to tell her what was happening on campus.

"Umma, according to Umma what would Umma do, if there was a marriage?" ask me to Umma.

"Umma will immediately accept it, it's a sign that the man is earnest," Umma said as he stroked my head.

"But if the person we married is not known or the term we just know that day should we accept it?"

"depends."

"What mean? Depends on how, Umma?" tanya Ais is getting curious.

"We'll see how that guy is. Not in terms of wealth or solidarity, but in terms of religion and sincerity. If it's good, there's no reason to reject his good intentions."

"But 'Kan Umma met also new today, the time yes immediately invite marriage. What if I choose wrong."

"There is a term ta'aruf" explained Umma

"Wait, deh, this is Ais again whose story? or just ask?" umma, who seemed to be starting to get suspicious about my question.

I took a deep breath and threw it away, wanting to gather energy to tell Umma everything.

"There's someone who asked Ais to get married, but Ais doesn't know her umma" I complained honestly to Umma.

"Well, Umma did not think, you know, hihihi," Umma even chuckled.

"Ih, Umma again serious fashion, nih."

Umma led me to wake up, then me and umma faced each other. Umma's hands cupped both of my cheeks.

"If she's serious about coming home and asking permission to marry you, if it's just a joke she'll never ask permission, then let it be."

"May it be just that uncivilized man's joke, may his words contain only a joke not a seriousness."

And hopefully it's like that....
