The Matchmaker Competition

CHAPTER 67

The twilight in the sky of Jakarta looks so blushing. The golden-yellow glow of the sun reflected in the houses around the complex where Dira lived. A yellow light spray reflects off the pool water. Anyone who sees it feels at peace.

Tonight is the last night of Ramadan. Tomorrow is the day victory will come. All mankind will welcome the day after a month of fasting, and now the victory comes.

"Ra," Mama Dewi called her middle daughter.

"Yes, ma." Dira stood up as his name was called.

"What are you doing there?here help mama make Lebaran tomorrow. Oh, yes tomorrow we gather at opa Han's house, yes. Han opa period continues to illuminate us."

"Yes, ma." Answer Dira up from the pool area.

Currently Feri, Dira, and Vira were gathered in the living room. They work hand in hand to organize the room to welcome guests. Usually one week before Lebaran opa Han stay there. However, a few days ago opa Han asked her family to gather at her house. Because his nephew is only the son of Wirya, the older brother.

Ever since Wirya died, Opa Han felt that Dewi was his responsibility. Wirya died when Dewi was not married. Still a student. Her mother Dewi died after giving birth to her only daughter. Since then Opa Han intervened in every affairs of the Goddess until when her grandson grew up.

Assalamualaik..

A baritone voice greeted in front of the door of the residence of Goddess Savitri. The goddess and her three children rushed to greet the guests they respected. The four of them turned to greet the guest.

"You're staying at Opa's house?" Ask opa Han.

"Want?" Dira and Vira exchanged looks. As they remember, her mother only said that tomorrow she would come to visit her opa residence.

"Aren't we there tomorrow?"ask Vira.

"Mama forgot to say that you three were asked to stay there. Mama's next tomorrow, so you're the first to stay there." Obviously Goddess.

"You too, Goddess. When you are alone at home. Tomorrow after prayer we make a pilgrimage to your parents' tomb. It's been a long time since I looked at your papa. All of you want to look at my wife who is still in the same complex as your mama's tomb." Opa Han.

"Yes, ma. time is just the three of us there while mama is alone at home." Sahut Ferries.

The goddess looked at her three children intensely. He was moved to see the attitude of his three children who were still thinking about him. His hands held his three hearts together.

Allahuakbar, allahuakbar, aailaillallahuallahhuakbar, allahhuakbar wallillahilkhamdu

Meaning: "God is great, Allah is great. There is no God but Allah, Allah is the Great, and praise be to Allah.

Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, laa ilaaha illallaahu wallaahu akbar, Allahu akbar walillaahil-hamd

Allahu akbar kabiira walhamdulillahi katsiiraa wasubhananallaahi bukrataw-wa ashillaa.

Laa-ilaaha illallahu walaa na'budu illaa iyyaahu muskhlishiina lahuddiin

Although karial kaafiruuun, although karial hypafiqun, although karihal idolatry

Laa ilaaha illallahu wahdah, shadaqu wa'dah

Meaning: "Allah is Great, Allah is Great, Allah is Most High. There is no God (who has the right to be worshipped) but Allah and Allah is Great. Allah is Most High and Praise be to Allah alone

Allah is Great, Allah is Great, Allah is Great. Allah is great with all greatness. Praise be to Allah. And holy of God all morning and evening. There is no God but Allah and we worship none but Him by purifying the religion of Islam even though unbelievers, hypocrites and polytheists hate it".

The sound of takbir roared from after magrib until now. In the opa Han residence close to the ordinary housing, the strains of victory were heard from the mosque behind Opa Han's house.

Each house appears to light a torch in front of its own fence.

"You know, opa purposely lived near residential residents because the atmosphere reminded us of our childhood. Opa Han and Opa Wirya are not rich kids. We are big farmers, our childhood is still living in colonial times. Yes, even in a gripping life, we still go to the mosque after the magrib, playing with friends to feel the torch with other residents.

enjoy the same happiness that is by making “Mercon Bumbung” – made of bamboo rather long and perforated then inserted carbide, ignited fire and issued a sound of explosion like artillery cannon."

Opa Han sat in the middle of his two beautiful grandchildren. Remembering his beautiful childhood, even though the people were always hunted with fear because of Japanese cruelty. However, tucked away memories.

"You guys take a break, yeah. Tomorrow we're going to be lebaran." Take opa Han to her two grandchildren.

The goddess looked at her way of seeing her two daughters. As a niece, Dewi is happy to feel the affection of a father even though he is not a real father. How since his father died, opa Han immediately intervened to meet his needs, find him a husband, everything that is done like a father to his son.

"From a long time ago, opa always treated you like her little grandchildren. You are all grown up and soon to be married. Opa also once told mama, she was afraid when she died no one took care of the factory. That's why he had the intention to match Dira when you were little. But mama at that time objected, you are still small, there is still much to pursue. After all, not necessarily also the man who will be paired with Dira."

Feri still listening to his mother's story. He only found out that Dira had been prepared for his soul mate since childhood. If that's the story why his mother is still excited to find a mate for Dira. Why didn't her mother question the matchmaking as much as she did? question after question keeps rolling. Sometimes parents' thinking is hard to understand.

"Do you know who Dira is dating?" Tanya Ferries.

The goddess shook her head, she did not know who Dira would be betrothed to. Looks like his Om is still keeping it a secret. Omnya it likes to make a surprise, which is certainly the choice of om will not be original. Like his om match Feri and Meyra first.

"Mama don't know, Feri. Surely Opa will not choose just anyone. He must be looking for something that's worth Dira." Definitely mama Goddess.

"Ma, I'm gonna take a break, yeah. So tired." Sahut Feri left his own mother at the porch door.

"Fery,"

"Yes, ma."

"How are you? Is.."

"Ma, I'm so sleepy. Tomorrow I'll talk about it." Feri left his mother. Better to avoid being asked questions.

Ferries lay her body in the room provided by opa Han. Eyes glared at the ceiling of the room, as if there was a deep longing.

"Mey, how are you? you know I go through day after day, time after time, year after year without you. It feels so empty.

Usually you always tell a story every night about the atmosphere of your office, you also often tell about your cousin who has no news.

Mey, I want to tell you too, but later, I'm tired right now. I miss you so much, Mey."
