The Step Sister of Tiri

310. S2 - expressing desire

"Ma, there's something Papa wants to talk about" Ayman told his wife.

"Speak what, Pa? Tumben, it looks serious." Zayna looked at her husband, waiting for him to speak.

They're home now, they all came home from Arslan's house this morning. They decided to stay and just this morning everyone went home. Although Zayna was actually still lazy to leave, she still wanted to be together with her granddaughter.

"So Lukman talked to Papa about our daughter."

"Our daughter? Wh who? Ainiya or Ainaya?"

"Aena. He said that Aina likes Ustaz Ali. What do you think if it's true."

Zayna paused for a moment, thinking about the possibility of what would happen. "Honestly, Mama was a little heavy releasing the twins. Those who are usually always spoiled with Mama, every there is anything exciting must be the story of the same Mama. If there were no them, it would feel very lonely. Losing Arslan alone feels different, what if the twins also leave. Mama will be lonely."

Ayman smiled and embraced his wife's shoulder to get closer and stronger. "Kan, there's Papa who's always next to Mama. It is also impossible for children to stay with us forever. Someday they will go with her husband."

"It's true, but not for now."

"So Mama's gonna forbid them from getting married now, is that it?" ask Ayman who wants to be sure.

He doesn't want to make his own decisions. Moreover, children are also very mature, they have the right to choose their own path. He and his wife can only offer support and prayer.

"Not really, Pa. If they really want to get married now, Mama also might not be in the way, but if possible later when they are really mature. Mama's not ready to lose them."

Ayman nodded, himself just like his wife. Still not willing if the twins leave the house. Especially if until the prospective husband is not in accordance with what they want. Regarding Ustadz Ali, they were not very familiar with him either. If no words come out of the children's lips, they don't want to talk about it anymore.

"Already, Ma. No need to think too much, later Mama even sick, the problem was thought later if it was time."

Zayna also invited her husband to the family room and watched television there. Not long after, Aina came and joined them. The girl looked nervous, trying to brave herself to talk to her parents.

"Pa, Ma, there's something I want to talk about" Aina said in a trembling voice.

"What do you want to say? Just say, tumben want to talk just use ask everything," said Ayman who was relaxing next to his wife. They are enjoying a television show that is certainly preferred by Zayna. Ayman doesn't like to see it much, he just accompanies her.

"What do Papa and Mama think of Ustaz Ali?"

Zayna and Ayman looked at each other, just now the two were talking about the man, now his son was also asking the same question. However, as much as possible he should look ordinary. They don't want their daughter to know if the two don't like her.

"Which ustaz Ali?" ask Ayman who pretends not to know who Ustaz Ali is. It was clear who the man mentioned by his daughter was.

"That's, Pa, the guy who always drives Kyai Hasan when he comes to visit."

Aina was confused as to where to say. Though previously he had arranged words, but in front of his parents even nervous like this. The girl was determined to tell the truth about her feelings. Seeing the calmness of both her parents, it made Aina even more afraid. The girl would rather look at her angry papa than be as expressionless silent as she is today.

"Why silence? What happened to Ustaz Ali?" ask Ayman again.

"I like it, Pa. I want to share it with him, Pa."

Ayman nodded his head, while Zayna shook her head. The woman did not allow her daughter to be with the ustaz. Seeing her mother shake her head made Aina look at the woman with a look begging to bless her.

"What makes you interested in that guy? You also do not know him thoroughly. How his character is, his daily life, his family, everything. You don't know anything about him."

"I don't know anything about him yet, Pa, but I'm sure Ustaz Ali can lead me down a good path. He could also definitely give me a decent life later on. I beg both Papa and Mama to approve me and propose to Kyai Hasan for me to share with Ustaz Ali!" aina Pinta.

"It's not all that easy, honey. We all don't know who their families are, how could Papa and mom just bless you" Zayna said.

He tried to give his daughter understanding so that the girl understood his purpose. Aina was still too hasty in making up her mind. There is still plenty of time to get to know each other.

"But, Ma, I'm sure that they are good people, the proof is that Arslan and Hira are also happy, until now. Their families are good too."

"That's different, your father first knew Lukman before becoming the leader of the boarding school. Papa also knows his family well, even they used to be friends while still studying, while Ustaz Ali, we do not know anything, even one thing about him we do not know. How could you choose it?" asked Zayna who really did not like her daughter's choice.

"But I'm sure Ustaz Ali is a good man, Ma."

"But, Honey ...."

"Mama" interrupted Ayman who did not want the wife to argue with her daughter. Moreover, both of them clung to what he considered to be true. Later he will find out about their family first, before giving up his daughter to be someone else's wife.

"Oh, we'd better talk later. There are many other days."

"But Papa should think about my wishes well."

"Yes, I'll think about it." Ayman did not want his daughter to be disappointed. Everything will be answered later.

Aina's face was less sure of the answer from her papa. However, as much as possible the girl will prove to her father, if Ustadz Ali is a good person and worth fighting for. He will try to make Ayman see the advantages possessed by Ustaz Ali.

Aina tells her parents to go inside. He went to his brother's room. The girl wanted to talk to Aini, about what she should do. Aina was sure her twin definitely had a way to persuade both her parents.

Ayman and Zayna could only sigh, seeing the desire of her daughter so strong, to soon marry Ustaz Ali.
