THE WOUNDED EARTH

PROPOSALS

Morning greet, give coolness to the recesses of my heart.

The day of the meeting between the two families that will discuss our relationship has arrived.

The plan is at 09.00 this morning, brother Ridwan and his parents will come to visit our house exactly our small rented house.

I deliberately asked permission not to go to work first, from after my mother left the hospital until today's application event.

Mother was getting ready, she was wearing a robe shirt and a long veil.

Bani also does not want to lose, he has been neat from this morning.

I am still confused as to which clothes I should wear.

Some clothes stel I have tried but it still seems less fit in the heart to repeatedly try, making my bed stacked a few strands of clothes there.

"Tok..but.tok..."

"So, it's finished yet?"bani's voice from outside my room.

"Not Tires."

"It's a long time ago, it's already 08.00 you know" he said considering it adds to my confusion.

My lyrics for the clock on my phone screen, the time has shown at 08:00.

"Kok to this complicated way this is himself, will also be a new family interview proposal," my inner.

Tok.dok...

"Yati.."this time my mother knocked on my bedroom door.

I hurry and open the door.

"Aren't you ready yet?"mother asked with a smile to look at me.

Mother went into the room with a wheelchair.Mata was fixed to the pile of clothes on the bed.

"Why?" gently grasping tightly my fingers.

"Yati bewildered aja mak, want to make clothes which from earlier try no one fit in the heart" answered me lethargic.

"Actually not a matter of his clothes dear, but your heart.Emak know you at this time may be a little anxious, it feels heart is not karen.Maklum lah, will only first experience this."

"Can you help me choose the clothes I want to wear ?"tawang.

"Yes mak"tuk me quickly.

"Everything is good coke, looks feminine and certainly not outdated right" his mother pondered while sorting through.

"What if this one ?"haggard mom thrusting towards me.

Peach-colored gamers are bundled with her veil.

"Yes mak, this one is just" I quickly agreed to the choice offered by my mother.

Without a second thought, I put it on.

Before her I had a little makeup on my face, so that later the time to wear a veil no longer need to fear the makeup dirty my veil.

My mother's eyes can't be separated from mine.

"How's mak?"show me off when I'm done.

"Beautiful as always" she replied praising my performance.

"Sister, haven't you?"suddenly Bani appeared to open the door of my room that was not closed tightly from earlier.

"Had" answered me with enthusiasm.

"So pretty sister today, different from the usual day" he said.

"Ah can you" I said shyly.

"Assalamualaikum.." The sound of greetings of some people was heard from outside.

"Wa alaikum salam"we agreed.

"That must be Ridwan's brother with his parents, let Bani come out"the bargain passed leaving me and my mother.

Bani opened the door of the house.

"Sister Ridwan, sir, let's go in"Bani politely invited.

They came in and sat in the middle room.

"This is Bani's sister Yati,ma" said Ridwan first introduced Bani to his parents.

Bani greets and kisses the back of her mom and dad Ridwan's hand.

"Sorry, how come you stay inside for a while, brother?"bani Permit.

"Sister, mak.kak Ridwan the same parents have come" Bani told us.

"Let's go out to meet them "take mom on me.

I pushed my mother's wheelchair slowly from behind.

Brother Ridwan and his parents stood up to see our presence.

"Sorry Ma'am, sir, our welcome can only be like this" mother's pleasantries greeted them as she shook hands.

"No pa-pa ma'am, the important thing is that we can meet each other dearly"welcome mama Ridwan no less friendly.

I salami and kiss the back of the hand mama and her papa brother Ridwan alternately.

We all took a sitting position around the table.

Not long, Bani out to bring drinks and food to entertain the family Ridwan.

"Not bother with Bani" his father Ridwan said.

"Just drinks and cakes are just sir, ma'am" replied Bani then took a seat sitting behind me.

"Please sir, mother, son of Ridwan.."bid mother please.

"Thank you ma'am"welcomed his mother Ridwan representing then sipped warm tea served.

"How's her health now, ma'am?"ask Ridwan's papa to mom.

"Alhamdulillah sir, it's been a bit quiet" replied the mother.

"Allah, thank goodness ma'am.May we all always be given the same health God "welcome his mama Ridwan who was amenable by all of us.

"Our arrival here in addition to being in touch with the mother's family, wants to represent our son, Ridwan, to propose Yati's mother's daughter to be his life partner" said his father Ridwan with full authority.

"May our good intentions and family not clap one hand "so he continued with a smile looking at me.

"I really agree, sir, whatever the decision of Yati because later he will lead a married life accompanying son Ridwan "mom's answer does not cover his happiness.

"Well now we just listen to the answer nak Yati himself, is the application or what?"goda papa Ridwan's.

I looked at Ridwan who kept smiling.

While blushing embarrassed I replied,"Yati is willing."

"Alhamdulillah, now we all have to determine a good time to carry out his H day,"sela her mama Ridwan again.

"According to Ridwan and Yati themselves, when will you?"papa goda.

"Tomorrow pa" replied Ridwan quickly.

My reflexes nudged his arm out of embarrassment.

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

"There are already some who can't wait anymore" cut Bani also replied.

"Look, how about we determine the day H 1 week after Eid al-Fitr.3 months from now so that from the family of both parties the bride and groom can prepare everything and also not seem too rushed" explained papa at length.

"Yes right too pa"timpal mama Ridwan.

"What do you think?"ask your mother again for consideration.

"I also agree ma'am, because we will also have to go back to the village first to give this happy news to the closest family" said the mother.

"Alhamdulillah, then all have agreed yes.Hear that wan, 3 months from now so must be patient first yes.."goda papa.

Everyone just laughed when they heard it.

Me and Brother Ridwan could only throw a glance while blushing in shame.

There is a sense of happiness that cannot be described in this heart.
