The Struggle of a Husband

Deathsmith

Havva Zuhayri Selyn is usually called Selyn. She is a girl that Amri has liked since she was in High School. But they are only friendly, there is no bond.

Today, Amri came to his home to fulfill the promise they had agreed to.

"Assalamualaikum.....?" greetings a silent young man peeked at the door, waiting for an answer from within his house.

From inside the house came the voice of the fathers who answered my greetings.

"Guardo!" hearing the voice of Selyn's father, the young man who was none other than Amri was still stiffly coughed.

So Slyn came out of the house and invited Amri to sit in the living room seat.

"Please, let's have a seat" said Selyn.

"Eh, yes. Thank you." replied Amri who walked in.

After saying hello and shaking hands. Amri sat in front of a chair that was almost facing Slyn's father. Only newspapers became 'sitroh' among them.

Almost 10 minutes of silent atmosphere without sound. And Selyn's mother came out of the back room carrying water and cookies. Amri smiled sweetly.

"Please drink first, son. Have you had breakfast?" ask Sellyn's mother to Amri.

"It's Mom, thank you." replied Amri looking down embarrassed.

Then he sat down next to Selyn and said. "You are ashamed of everything with us" he said as he widened his smile.

"I'm just shy Mom. Hehe." replied Amri clumsily.

"I'm sorry, I see you've been here a lot. When are you going to send a group (lamaran)?" sela's father stopped the conversation of his wife and young man before her.

Sellyn's mother was surprised. "Eh, this father." She patted her husband's shoulder slowly.

"Hmm, I don't have much money yet sir." Amri replied with a ghost and lowered his head.

"Yes kumpulin dong first, only later here again." Sauten him with a little tart.

"Mother and Father, would you like me to provide you with some steamy money for this proposal?" asked Amri doubtfully. Then Sellyn's mother answered.

"It could be 20 million." he lightly said. Then, Selyn's father chimed in on his words.

"Hee, but if it can be bigger than the person next door who has a crush on us too, our son Selyn!" he compared Amri to the young man next door.

"I'm sorry, if you can tell how many mums are there?" ask Amri to him.

"40 million, I'm glad you could be more." Slyn's father replied with a glance in his eyes.

"God, 40 million. Where do I get that kind of money. Oh, that's huge sir. Couldn't be less. We make the show simple. Simply invite family, relatives and close neighbors." Amri tried to discuss.

"That's your fate, son. You're going to marry our son. After all, Slyn was our only daughter." replied Slyn's father by folding his hands over her chest.

Amri almost lost his mind, when he mentioned the 'price' for Selyn. And Amri tries to re-discuss with Selyn's parents.

"May I ask again. Are your kids good at cooking?" asked Amri politely

"Hmm. Just wake up at 9 more, not wake up that morning. Waking up straight to lunch." Sellyn's dad took it for granted.

"Emmmmm, uh,...His mother is the same. I love waking up late too." said Sellyn's father loudly.

"Oh, this dad!" His mother was embarrassed.

Amri was stunned for a moment, when he heard a small debate between the two parents of Selyn in front of him.

"Ehem, that's enough sir. Now I know. If I may ask again, can Slyn read the Qur'an?"

"It can be, a little bit" replied Selyn's mother smiling.

"Learning is the same?" ask Amri further.

"Maybe!" he nodded his head.

"Hmm." Amri mutters.

"Why?" he asked, astonished at Amri.

"Oh, it's okay ma'am. The last question is, is Selyn praying diligently?" then Selyn's father replied in a slightly irritated tone that sounded so obvious to the ear.

"What do you mean ask all this!You've been a friend of Sellyn's since school. You should have known." he replied with a sniffle.

"Sorry Father and Mother, I think Slyn can not cook, can not pray, can not teach and can not close the aurat well. Before Sellyn became my wife, her sins would also be the sins of father and mother."

"Unless Selyn hafiz Qur'an 30 juz in the head, good at keeping the aurat, self-preservation and restrictions on his religion. Then with a 100 million dowry I tried to pay."

"But if things don't have to be paid, why force it to pay. Like the dowry. For the best of marriage is as low as dowry."

Slyn's father's eyes were pierced by his wife's eyes. Both of them were silent without a sound. Now the three bow their heads (Dad, Mom and Slyn).

"Indeed, some customs make girls to be made objects of satisfaction. To show wealth and boast about what is, especially in marriage."

"Cultural customs often defeat religious matters. The parents let, even wanted girls in ornaments and made public performances. While at the time the contract has been fulfilled by the husband, all the sins of the father's daughter have been borne by the husband." with one breath, Amri can finish the speech loudly and politely.

"I just want my son to be happy with a little bit of luxury. Such a thing would only happen once in a lifetime." in a slightly lowered tone Slyn's father replied and let out his wish.

"Boy want my son to feel the luxury?" Amri tried asking in a gentle and polite tone.

"Of course we will both be happy." replied belaiu gently.

"What is that really? Can I call again? Father, mother, I am no one. Now the sins of the father, the father is also responsible. But the day after tomorrow after the marriage contract, continue the sin of Sellyn I who bear."

"Not to mention fitting father and mother want us to sit long at the magnificent pelaminan. The mother's son was dressed with the most beautiful makeup, with the most expensive makeup and clothes, in front of hundreds of invitations to make us look luxurious too."

"In addition to every eye that looks at us will get sin. Is that so important, if in everyday life we even try to live as simple as possible without exaggeration." Amri tries to explain to both of Sellyn's parents.
