Trapped in the Love of the Past

All my family members looked at me in surprise but also in shock. Maybe they didn't think I could get replaced that fast either.
"Yes ma'am, his name is Rohman. She's one year older than me. But he's very nice, ma'am. He works at BPN and his stay is not far from my boarding house either."
"Son, are you sure about Rohman?"
"God willing, mom. And he also asked me to immediately tell him when I can come here."
"Son, all decisions are on you. You will also be living it. But I just want you to think about everything mature."
"Yes,bu. I understand mother's intentions. But I've been steady with Rohman's mas. Why am I waiting for the uncertain, ma'am. Doesn't everyone need certainty, not hope."
"Yes, son. For the meeting you just determine mommy's following."
"Good ma'am, what if it's Sunday tomorrow. If it's a regular day all right on busy work."
"Yes, kid. Hope everything goes well."
"Amin, ma'am."
I also ask for help to my sister and my brother to attend the family meeting later. I want everyone to get together. Because I need all my family members. Especially my mother and sister. Because my father died a few years ago. And my brother will be my guardian.
Brother named Eko, he is four years older than me. And mas Eko has a beautiful and kind wife in my family. Her name is Mbak Lala. But unfortunately, until now has not been given a baby. But even so, Eko and Mbak Lala look good and support each other.
After I got my blessing from my mother, I immediately sent a message to Rohman. I tell you this happy news. I determined the day when my family and Rohman's family could meet for a proposal.
[Mas, I've told you everything. Thank goodness my mother was pleased.]
[And God willing tomorrow the week our families can meet. For hours I follow.] Not long ago the message I sent was blue. That means my message has been read.
[Alhamdulillah. I'm so happy.]
[Later to talk to my parents, baby. I'll tell you again at this hour.]
[Good, mas.]
[Darling, what will you bring tomorrow if I go there.]
[I didn't ask for anything, Mom. The important thing is that you got here safely I was very happy.]
[Don't do it, baby. I'll have to bring you a dowry. You ask for what, you name it. If I can, I will try for you.]
[For your dowry problem only specified, mas. I don't want to demand much. As long as you are able and do not mind that is my message.]
[All right, that'll be my business. You don't have to think about anything else. Just take it easy.]
[Yes, I understand.]
[Yes, my mom.]
After talking to each other via whatsap, my eyes felt very heavy. I only woke up a few hours from sleep. No need to get stale, I rushed to the room to rest again.
**********
Day after day, my daily life is at home. Sometimes if I get bored, I help my mom sell. Because it was a day my mother was selling in the school office which was not far from home. It's good to have busy. There is no tired activity either.
Finally the day awaited arrived. It's on Sunday, where Rohman's family will come to propose to me. I've sent my home location to Rohman. Waiting for news when they leave
This morning our family was busy with cooking. For the next guests. Others are busy cleaning the house.
For two hours we were all busy with our duties. Until it's all done. The dishes are neatly arranged on the table. Various types of snack cakes and bottled drinks have also been neatly arranged in the living room.
Spokesman has also been stanby in the living room. I did deliberately hire a spokesperson who was none other than my own neighbor. So that it can go well later.
I grab the phone and open the whatsap app, it turns out that the Rohman family is already on the way. I noticed the message came in about an hour ago. That's a sign that in about half an hour they'll arrive.
I immediately told the mother of my family members all to be ready. I immediately took a shower without long, and immediately put on as polite a dress as possible. I make makeup with makeup that is different than usual. Because this is an important event and I have to perform as gracefully as possible.
I wear a light blue brucet robe with a matching hijab. With a makeup polish a little thicker than usual. Don't forget to spray a little perfume. I was standing right in front of the glass. I noticed the clothes I was wearing were fitting in my opinion.
My family's gathered in the living room. We also took selfies together. When will we all get together like this. It feels so good to have a family like this.
Not long after two cars entered the yard. I'm sure it's the Rohman family. Lots of people present too.
My heart beats irregularly. It feels very nervous. They all walked with a lot of fun. I didn't expect that much.
One by one the Rohman family came in and we felt it. After everyone had sat down and gathered together, we introduced each other to the family members. And then continued on the core event.
His father Rohman became a spokesman. And the proposal was made. And thank God everything went well. I accepted Rohman's proposal with pleasure. We exchanged rings. And don't forget to take photos when you're wearing each other's rings.
A happy smile shines on all the family. The wedding plans will be held in three weeks. Because the Rohman family won't linger long. But I ventured to speak a little.
"Ehm, sorry in advance the father of the mother of all the Rohman family. There's a little I want to tell you."
"What's up, son?" Said his father Rohman.
"Father, my family's mother lived a simple life, so I didn't have a big party. I just held a kabul ijab and small thanksgiving only. But the rest will be up to the Rohman family."
"Yes, let's set how good it is, son. If your family doesn't have a party, we don't have a problem. That's up to you. And for our family, we'll talk about it again at home. And how ahead we'll be able to tell you."
"Yes mother, father. Thanks for understanding what we mean."
"Yes son, our family understands what you mean. We'll be able to notify you soon."
