The Life of Introverted Girls

13

Maliq POV.

After seeing a little girl named Syifa,I felt I had to have the little girl.I felt very interested in the little girl at first sight.His indifferent attitude to me made me determined to have it.I who had never been serious in a relationship, so far,suddenly very eager to marry the little girl, when all this time Mamah and my big family always urged me to get married immediately, considering my mature age.

But I never responded, until my Omku, the brother of my Papah betrothed me to the son of my Papah Cousin.I agreed with him without seriousness,I just want to please them.I think later it's a later affair.like the previous one was like that.Let's have a thousand reasons to avoid marriage.But, there will be a thousand reasons to avoid marriage.But,in fact, my extended family is very serious about the matchmaking.Unto my knowledge they have been deliberating to determine the date of my marriage.

Om Ahmad was very angry after learning that I had proposed to Syifa without their knowledge.I have indeed expressed my seriousness to Papah and Mamah Syifa to marry their daughter.

I promised Papah and Mamah Syifa I would bring my extended family to propose to Syifa officially.

"Maliq, you can't be this cool.You've already got a match with a kid from Om Ino in Jakarta, and you've agreed!!".Speak with emotion to me, Ahmad.

after City X, the,I went to Om Ahmad to ask Om Ahmad and my extended family to propose to Syifa officially.Before at home also I had a dispute with Mamahku who was very surprised to hear I wanted to marry the girl they were mamah cried because he already talked about my match with Sandra son of Om Ino.I persuaded Mamah who basically always obeyed all my wishes.With a heavy heart Mamah bless me,but he told me to come to Om Ahmad to talk about this.Because it was after the death of Papahku, Om Ahmad who always played a role in taking care of Me and my brother.We consider Om Ahmad as Papahku.

"I did agree to the match yesterday,but I'd say let's know each other first not directly married.But why Om decided to directly talk about marriage.I did know Sandra but that's when we were little.I don't know what she's like after adulthood now".My words are still in response to the anger of Om Ahmad.

"Ooo...so you have no respect for Me as Ommu and want to please yourself huh??You want to throw your mistake at me??Shoot Om Ahmad full of emotions.

"And I assure you this marriage of yours will not have the blessing of our great family.You married a woman whom we do not know Who her family is, and only a country girl again.."

Cc.ckk..You really make the family ashamed.Now you do not need to come to me again, just consider me not Ommu anymore, I no longer care about you.From the first always just as willingly alone"Pekik Om Ahmad while shaking his waist in front of me.

I stood up from my seat...

"Alright, if indeed Om Ahmad no longer considers me anymore.That's okay.What is certain is the girl I will marry later is the girl whose origins are clear,although she's just a poor girl from the village like what Om said earlier ,but his family is a good family.And I guarantee also without the blessing of the family, I will still marry him.

I walked out of Om Ahmad's house to my car parked in the courtyard without saying goodbye.

"Gw..."

I exhaled violently the air that filled my chest cavity.I felt tight to face the anger of Om Ahmad, I held back my emotions hearing Om Ahmad insult Syifa and her family.
