The Light of Love Salma

Matchmaking Plan

Abah and Ummi are not a businessman, both of whom earn money from some great figures in various places, Abah also has some fairly large rice fields and dairy cows are kept by his confidants. Abah built the pesantren from his efforts.

"If you can no longer think of anything else to change Kafa at this time, that is the only idea that exists in Abah's mind at this time Ummi," Abah said.

"Try to think of something else Abah! at least there is something much better than stopping the facilities we love" Ummi said.

Both of them were silent because they were busy with their respective thoughts, thinking of ways that Kafa could change much better than now.

"What if we match Kafa with an Ummi girl?" abah Monsi.

"Standing Kafa, is Abah sure Kafa wants to be betrothed?" ummi asked with a doubtful expression clearly drawn on her face.

"What if Ummi pretends to be sick and asks Kafa to marry the girl of our choice, just say that this is Ummi's last request!" Abah again brought out the idea that appeared in his head.

"Is it not a sin to lie to Abah's own child?" Ummi seemed hesitant about the idea expressed by Abah.

"Lying for the good of someone is not a bad thing and Abah believes God certainly knows what our purpose is to lie, this is also for the good of Kafa Ummi" replied Abah.

Ummi was silent to think about what Abah said, fondling the good and bad problems that would be torn if Kafa really married the girl they chose, because Ummi already knows if Kafa already has a lover out there.

"But Kafa already has a lover out there, Abah, would he agree if Ummi asked him to get married?" Ummi again expressed his doubts.

"Trust Ummi, how brutal Kafa is, he still loves you as Ummi who gave birth to him and Abah is sure he will obey Ummi's wishes as a sign of his devotion to you," Abah tried to break all the doubts seen on the wife's face.

"If Kafa really wants to get married, who is the girl we want to marry our son? is not it an open secret if our son has changed and become a brutal man Abah," said Ummi.

News of Kafa's changing attitude has indeed spread throughout the community, but although bad news about Kafa spread did not discourage people to put the princess of Merwka in the boarding school that Ummi and Abah kelolah, did not discourage people from putting their children, all because of the kindness of Abah and Ummi spread every time.

Ummi and Abah always do social service to distribute food and some money sheets to orphans every Thursday, and return to almsgiving every Friday to distribute food to beggars and the underprivileged on the highways, not to forget also Ummi swlalu provides free breakfast placed in a special place placed on the roadside and anyone can take it.

Ummi and Abah are role models even though their son is notoriously brutal, unable to cover up the good that has been spread by both.

"Salma," Ummi said as he looked up to draw what Abah suggested.

"Will Salma be betrothed to Kafa, Abah? and how can Kafa receive Salma also make him happy?" Ummi expressed the doubt he felt given the promise he had made to the late Salma's mother. Since Ummi promised Salma's mother to take care of her daughter in case something happened, Ummi felt responsible for Salma's life and considered her like his own daughter, so he would not be selfish to marry his Son to Salma if in the end Salma could not be happy.

"Aba was sure that slowly Kafa would definitely receive Salma, and the kafa would not hurt him because Abah believed that Kafa still held fast to what we had taught him" Abah replied.

Ummi again fell silent to think of every word that was said from the lips of the husband, so far Ummi also knew with certainty if Kafa was still holding firmly what Ummi and Abah had taught him. But the doubt that grew in Ummi's heart still appeared, even though the doubt was only a grain of corn.

"Tomorrow Ummi will try to say it to Salma, and hopefully Salma will be willing to accept this matchmaking" said Ummi.

"Hopefully Ummi, Abah could see the sincerity and gentleness in every look of Salma's eyes and the attitude Salma showed, so Abah was sure if Salma could change Kafa slowly, although Abah knows for sure if everything needs a process but Salma can definitely get through it." Abah.

"Ummi also thinks like Abah despite the doubts that are still tucked away but Ummi is sure if Salma can get through everything, and give good results." Ummi also revealed what he felt.

Ummi now looks a little calmer, he rests again preparing himself to say the plan he has put together with Abah in Salma tomorrow.

Night continues to pass leaving the dream world filled with beauty that is only temporary.

Since dawn, Ummi continued to think of the right words to say his plan so that Salma would accept the arranged marriage for the son and Salma. While Salma is currently busy cooking in the kitchen with Tari and Mbok Yem, preparing food for breakfast for the students.

"It turns out that if we do it with sincerity and do not consider it a burden, it all feels so nice, Salma," said Tari with a bright smile as bright as the sun that is clearly visible on her face.

"You're right, Tari, we're still lucky to be able to get a free place to live and also a good job as it is now added with all the lessons that Ghozi taught, everything feels so complete," said Salma who now also looks happy.

"Mbok Yem also feels grateful to be able to know you and be helped by you, even though we have just met but Mbok can immediately feel comfortable cooking with you," sahut Mbok Yem who now joined peeling vegetable soup that became the menu today.

All three look so familiar, whereas Tari and Salma are only a few days there, but all three are very familiar and compact, what a beautiful sight in the eye.
