The Customary Line of Marriage

Marry her brother or fiance first!

A motorbike parked next to a simple house painted in marun color. There are no lavish celebrations, as there are only two family gatherings. The atmosphere inside was still quiet.

They just arrived at the house. It seems the owner of the house is also gathering his family. There were two girls and three boys in the house. The woman's father is quite old seen from the gray hair that began to appear.

The man dressed in cocoa trousers sat in the chair opposite the father of the woman who was a little gray. With his chivalry the man opened his voice.

" I came here to propose to my father! "

" Daughter, I didn't reject your proposal. If you want to get married quickly, please marry her brother, but if you can wait please you fiancee first, "said the man who was edikit changed with the batik outfit.

The man seemed to stare in disbelief at the words of the woman's father. While the girl who was about to be proposed looked even more downcast, she looked saddened by the words.

"Sorry sir, why did you make that choice?"

" This is what Ahsan is. The father's daughter was two, her brother Raniyah was not married. It is not good for the youngest to step over his sister. Many events that are married overstep her brother marriage is not good" said the father of the woman called Raniyah

Keep everything in that room quiet. Ahsan who was about to propose to Raniyah could only be bowed down, apparently only a matter of stepping over that caused her to have to delay the desire to get married.

Though in the heart of Ahsan really want to get her wedding soon. Raniyah is the woman he once wanted to be the wife and mother of his children.

While now she has to choose her brother, Ahsan does not know her brother at all, in terms of age and her brother Raniyah 5 years above her age. It was not thought at all to marry a woman he did not recognize.

" How's son Ahsan?" Ask Raniye's father.

" We need to consider it first Mr. Ansori," said his father Ahsan who immediately opened his voice as soon as he saw his son starting to speak a thousand languages in disappointment.

"Yes, Mr. Karim. I can understand that. How else, the custom in us is so." Answer Ansori Raniyah's father.

Raniyah heard a little sobbing, Ansori sir told his wife to bring Raniyah to the back. While being led, Raniyah was taken to her room. He could have guessed it would be like that. Because when he said someone would propose to him over the phone, his father had refused him to marry over his brother.

When Raniyah was in the room, she began to sob. His mother calmed his youngest son, soon entered his older sister and sat on the edge of the bed.

" Loh ma'am, why did you say that. Where would Haya marry equally. Raniyah is under Haya's age!" Haya said her sister Raniyah.

" Hus! Relax, your sister!" Mother says.

Haya slowly approached her sister who was crying as she hiccupped on the pillow. Haya's soft hands stroked her sister's back.

" Dek, brother also does not want to be the same Ahsan, bocil that. Actually, brother does not matter you want to marry first also Deck." Haya.

"You know for yourself, I told you on the phone that the proposal was okay, if the marriage should wait for brother, you ngeyel de anyway." Haya.

" Kak Haya, Iza love Ahsan." Raniyah.

" Yes, gini now. If you are a match, you will be united. Remember the prophet Adam and the city of Eve alone separated hundreds of years by God finally found again in Jabal Rahman." Obviously her brother was trying to comfort Raniyah.

Raniyah woke up and sat on her bed, she noticed the face of her 29-year-old brother. For the size of his age in the village should already have two children, but different from his brother who is busy with a career, especially now he holds a position as the principal at a private school.

Not that no man likes Haya, just that Haya has a cold nature and jutek to men, making many men stay away. Its nature is very different from Raniyah who is more friendly to men. So many men have a crush on Raniyah who is a PNS teacher at one of the state schools.

" Boy sister!" Sapa Raniya.

"Why deck?" Answer Haya.

"If Ahsan is ready for fiancee first, would it be a long time not to wait for big brother?" Tanya Raniyah looked at her brother's eyeballs.

" Oh!! You just pray for the deck, hopefully soon you can find your brother's soul mate!" Haya replied while staring at the portrait of Raniyah's graduation.

"Father may fear that if Rani marries first, Rani's fate will be like Radit's brother who marries continuously. " Connor Raniyah stared at the family portrait when she graduated.

"Maybe de," replied Haya sighing.

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of the door being knocked from the outside, the mother was heard calling Raniyah because Ahsan and his family were about to leave. Raniyah immediately got up from the bed and wiped away her tears. He came out with Hayah behind him. Ahsan's family didn't seem too happy, I don't know what their parents decided.

Raniyah also walked to deliver the Ahsan family to the gate. Before saying goodbye Ahsan glanced towards Raniyah who occasionally bowed every eye the two met. Ahsan approached Raniyah.

"Insyaalloh we're going to keep married Ra, the important thing is we're patient first now!" Ahsan.

" Yes San." Reply Raniyah.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow!" Ahsan said before he left.

Raniya nodded slowly. Ahsan also said goodbye to Raniyah's parents politely. Ahsan's family left the grounds of Raniyah's house. The Raniyah people went straight into the house, while Raniyah was still staring outside to see the departure of the Ahsan family who did not display a look of happiness at all.
