Trapped by My Husband's Destiny

Engagement

At 09.00 am, already lined up vehicles in front of Nadia's house. The house that was deliberately painted back already looks crowded. The Arkan family got out of the car and headed inside Nadia's house.

Arkan brings the family on this Sunday, according to the schedule of her and Nadia's engagement event. Nadia's family welcomed her warmly. The first meeting between the two families took place today. The family that will unite will become a big family later.

Arkan stepped slowly beside his mother who looked very calm. He was holding his mother's shoulder. Although this woman is old but still looks young. Behind them is Daniel and Fandi. Daniel held Fandi's hand and led the little boy to walk parallel to him. And several other members of the Arkan family have also entered Nadia's yard.

The family of thirteen adults and several children included Fandi and several other Arkan puppets. Nadia's parents greet the Arkan family in front of the house. The entire Arkan family is herded into the house by Nadia's mother and father.

Within minutes, the two families had gathered in the middle of the house that was deliberately coated in brightly colored ambal. They all sat on the floor. Be cross-legged. The male part is in the old room, while the female part is on the left of the room.

At first Nadia asked Arkan if her family would be willing if the place was laid out in a simple way that is sitting on the floor reasoned ambal, not modern style like installing a tent and sitting on a chair. Arkan answered the question clearly. "Sitting cross-legged on the floor is also better. More of a family."

Finally the setting of the place was made ordinary. The guests from the Arkan family and the hosts from outside Nadia blend into one in the living room that is not too broad. Enough to gather with a capacity of thirty people.

The engagement event was as simple as possible. From the setting of the place, to the event that was undertaken. Not with the customs of Pure Java. Just a regular fiancee show.

Arkan brought one person as a spokesperson and Nadia also appointed one of the elders from her family to be their spokesperson representative.

The word was expressed by a representative from the Nadia family. A few minutes of talking is a welcome sentence.

A spokesman from Arkan finally replied with thanks for welcoming him, followed by a statement of the purpose and purpose of the Arkan family to visit Nadia's residence.

The two jurors talked in a chat, joking and stringing words well. The atmosphere of the event became more lively and warm. Non-rigid.

After going through the meeting and explaining the purpose and purpose conveyed by a spokesman from the Arkan family, he said, so the representative of the Nadia family ordered to remove the girl to be betrothed to come out of the room.

Arkan who sat in the male line from his family could not wait for his future fiancee to come out. He sat holding Fandi on his right thigh. Beside him was Daniel who occasionally teased Fandi.

Nadia's mother walked into the room quickly when the spokesperson ordered to remove Nadia. Before long Nadia came out of the room led by her mother.

Arkan.

Daniel glanced a little at Arkan even though his hand was playing with Fandi.

Nadia walked towards the middle. All eyes looked at the girl who worked as a general practitioner. Nadia looks embarrassed. He felt an extraordinary confidence trait - a trait that had always been his mainstay - shrunk instantly. He was afraid of doing something wrong in front of both sides of the family. Especially if something goes wrong and is seen by Arkan and his future in-laws.

Nadia was asked to sit in the middle. Arkan's mother was waiting for her son-in-law in the middle of the red dominant ambal. Nadia greeted the prospective in-laws as she approached him. She smiled a little. Cold hands.

Arkan's mother saw her future son-in-law who was feeling uneasy. His right hand, filled with the experience of struggle and the journey of life, stroked Nadia's back as the would-be son-in-law leaned in to greet her.

Nadia was a little moved when that happened. He tried to hold back the tears. Currently, Nadia was ordered to sit face to face in front of her future father-in-law, Ms. Arkan. Nadia hanyda. He can no longer detect where Arkan is.

The host is a representative of the family Nadia chatting a little as a connector when the peak event will be held. A little joking to melt the atmosphere back and allow Mother Arkan to pin the ring in Nadia's hand.

In the middle of the room that bears a silent witness to the happiness of the people present at the event, Mother Arkan pinned a gold ring as a sacred sign that the girl had been tied up by her son. The last child who will follow all her brothers to get married.

Nadia could not hold back tears anymore. Clear details fell dripping about the batik cloth used. He immediately asked for a tissue to his mother who was in the back. He quickly picked up the tissue that his mother had proffered. After feeling able to control the heart, Nadia greeted the woman who would become her mother-in-law later. He kissed the cheeks of the 65-year-old woman.

Arkan. He saw the action with a happy heart, mixed with. The man who sat parallel to the rest of the family, felt relieved. She was finally able to perform this engagement.

Spokesmen from Arkan and Nadia spoke in Javanese. They throw questions and welcome answers, to each other. Both families are trying to find the word consensus to set the date of their marriage. Dialogue that took almost an hour, finally got the decision that the marriage will be carried out in the next 6 months.

Both families agreed to the wedding date. All kinds of things related to finances, equipment and equipment that will be given, have also been discussed. The engagement event went smoothly without the slightest obstacle.

The event closed with prayer.
