The Beginning of the Marriage
Chapter 7
"Sir, you see Salma is working" said diyah to his brother
"He works at the grocery store?"
"Yes brother, he's his son is very diligent and does not like to complain"
"Yes, look from his face"
"You're Ken's blessing with Salma, right?" Ask him to make sure
"Merestui is well, her big brother is not neko-neko. The important thing is that he is good and can be a good wife for Ken, his brother is very grateful" said Lina
"Alhamdulillah if that's my brother, I'm happy"
From a distance Lina saw the shrewd Salma in her work.
'she's very cheerful' Lina's inner
'may you accept my son' Pinta Lina
****
The afternoon after Salma was seen coming home from work. Lina rushed to call her child just to get ready.
Elsewhere, Ken who received a phone call from his mother was shocked because suddenly his mother asked him to prepare now.
Ken immediately took a shower and wore long pants and a short-sleeved shirt.
Tok.shock.
"assalamualaikum" said Lina when she reached home
"Waalaikumsalam, Ken in the ma'am room" cried Keanu
"Have you prepared yet Ken?" Lina asked by walking towards Keanu's room
"Have you, like this? Where the hell are you going?"
",Yes, that's not papa either. You should come with mom"
"Mom take a shower first"
Ken who heard that just sighed.
She waits for her mom and opens her cell phone to check some of the work Azka sent her.
Hose beberpa minute,
"Assalamualaikum" said Vano,om Keanu
"Waalaikumsalam. Already home?"
"Yes Ken, your aunt hasn't come home yet?"
"Not yet"
"Oh yasudah, om to the market first pick up Auntie"
"Yes, um"
"Van vanoo, don't go first " cried Lina from inside her room
"That's your mama why Ken?"
"Lack of knowing"
Tap.tap.
"Van, where's the Salma family's fried rice shop?" Ask Lina when she arrives at the courtyard where Vano and Ken are chatting
"Huh?" Ken parroted
"Not far from his house, brother, will Kaka go there?" Ask Vano
"Yes, we're going there"
"Oiya yes. Be careful, brother, you know the way Ken is?"
"Hemm? Yes, I know it"
"Oh yasudah. Brother, I'll pick up diyah first"
"Oh yeah, be careful"
"Yes my brother"
"Will we go to Salma's shop?" Ask Ken after his om leaves
"Yes, yes you have to steal his heart and his closest family is Ken. Don't be passive, want to marry someone's child how passive the story is" said Lina
"Today, Salma agreed to give an answer tomorrow ma. If we go there I think I'm expecting him too much again" Ken replied by following Lina walking behind him
"Aren't you garepin of him? Are you not interested in him?" Lina asked with her eyes fixed on her son
"It's not so ma, it's a different story. Aisshh mama plays too much" complained Ken by sitting on the soffa
"Playing a role what do you mean Ken?"
"No, let's know when we go there?"
"If you don't want to get married, that's up. Mama yesterday also did not want to maksa you, your own who asked to be known as a girl. Turn already there are girls and you have your own initiative for cepet-cepet nikahin tuh cewe but you have no initiative to look for attention to where ya where it can be"
"Even if you have a daughter and suddenly there is a boy she does not know marriage and the guy is not passive like you also refuse mama" continued Lina ngomel not endlessly
"Yes yes ma, sorry Ken ya. Yauda ayok there, mama there want to until the store closes what?"
"If so Ken change clothes, wear casual clothes" said Ken left his mother who still looks angry smoke.
"Huhhhhh, no child" lina complained
.
.
After the Maghrib runs out Ken and Lina leave for the salma family-owned tavern, only the two of them. Karna Vano and diyah are still in the market and have not returned home.
"Assalamualaikum sir" said Lina when entering the store and there only seen Mr. Rohman and his son
"Waalaikumsalam, uh mother. Come on let's sit down. Nak Ken please sit down" replied Mr. Rohman familiarly.
"Thank you sir"
"His Salma isn't here, sir?" Ask Ken suddenly
"Oh, Salma's here to finish, son. Change it with father"
"Does Ken want to meet Salma? Let's call a son"
"By, bentar"
"Put, please call Salma's brother now yes"
"Yes sir" replied the son
I don't know what's on Ken's mind right now. He is like a man who has no initiative but at the same time he can be a superactive man.
Lina who saw her son asked Salma first was also happy. Maybe his mind is open, his mind is open.
****
Salma walked with the son from her home to the tavern.
"Assalamualaikum, sir"
"Waalaikumsalam son, it's Ken and Bu Lina's son" replied Mr. Rohman
"Yep"
"Assalamualaikum Ma'am" Salma kissed Bu Lina's hand
"Waalaikumsalam sal, I'm sorry to bother you. Come here to play the Ken truck to meet you" said Bu Lina
"Oh yes Mom, no papa. Not disturbing at all" Salma said with a smile.
"Ken, here's the Salma . He said he was meeting"
"Yes ma"
"Salma, can we talk together?"
"Can mas"
They talked together outside Rohman's shop. Salma brought two chairs and made some warm tea for Ken
"This is mas, drink the tea. It's okay to just talk here?" Ask Salma to make sure
"Not papa sal"
"Ekhm. Look, sal, I don't want to force you about the wedding I said yesterday. But, I just wanted to say. If I really want to marry you"
"Emm, yes, yes. Salma will answer tomorrow"
"Thank you, I hope your answer doesn't disappoint me"
"inshaAllah" Salma smiled.
there was no other conversation, just up there and they just kept quiet while staring at things from a distance.
Ken who is basically stiff and not touched by women must be faced with a situation like this, he does not know what conversations he should build.
Likewise with Salma, the woman rarely has male friends especially men who are serious with her.
"Ehm. If you accept my proposal and are willing to get married as soon as possible. What price do you want?" Ken asked to break the silence between the two
"I answer this later, not that I accept and am willing to accept this impromptu marriage. I will give you the answer tomorrow"
"I don't want to incriminate the dowry. Want anyone who married me, I do not give a standard dowry. I leave everything to my future husband later, I just ask. Give my dowry according to the ability of my future husband later and get married to the pledge also in it. It is a pity not if the dowry given a lot but my future husband is not sincere or bring it up in the future" continued Salma
"No nomimal?" Ask Ken back
"No, I just want to ask for the best dowry and seikhlasnya"
"If my future husband is able to give me a 100 thousand dowry, but he only sincerely gives me a 10 thousand dowry. That's not a problem" continued Salma by reviewing a smile
"Emm. okay-okay"
"If it's for a wedding, do you have a dream wedding?" Ask Ken
"Dream wedding? There must be mas. Every woman has a dream wedding. But, usually some of them are constrained by cost"
"Well, what is your dream wedding?"
"Emmm. The wedding of my dreams, I wanted a party that had plenty of food and invited many people without having to bring donations. It would be like they came, gave prayers to the bride and groom to eat home. They should not bring donations that might incriminate them"
"Especially in my area here, most minimal fixed income mas. So I do not want to burden them, fearing that my marriage is not even blessed" continued Salma
"Good, your thinking is very good" said Ken
"No wedding invites who?"
"No, I also dare to have a dream marriage also do not dare to be nice. Afraid of not being able to be disappointed even, hehe" kekeh Salma
"It is not wrong to actually have a high dream. But, it must be balanced with hard work, so that the dream can you reach" advises Ken
"He'em right"
Without them knowing, it turns out their chatter can get them a little closer and that small talk will probably be a serious chat in the future.
"Oh yes, if you marry me. Do you want to come with me in town? Because you know for yourself, if I'm not from here"
"Emm, I'll go with my husband wherever it is. Because the wife will always be there beside the husband, right?"
Ken just nodded.
"Alright, I look forward to your answer tomorrow" Ken said sincerely
"Good mas"
"Yauda let's join the others inside" said Ken
They walked together into the store Mr. Rohman, Ken who brought 2 plastic chairs and Salma brought Ken's tea glass.
"Have you finished Ken?" Ask Lina
"It's ma"
The shop was quite crowded, so Salma could not accompany Ken and his mother to chat.
Ken and Lina who saw how deft salma was amazed. He can get here very nimble.
"If he accepts you, you don't greet Ken's wife" whispered Mama Lina
"May ma"
