Sifa, you don't lie. Don't you say as if we weren't there for you just yet" Bukde snapped.
Sifa smiled obliquely. "If I'm the one lying, can Bukde tell me where you are when I need you all? When my grandmother and I were starving and only asked for a handful of rice to cook, but you threw the rice on the ground and told us to pick it up," shifa with tears streaming down.
"When my grandmother and I were rained and cold at night, none of you would give us blankets and instead let us sleep in the barn behind the house. Where's where my dad keeps his mulled stuff."
Sifa was sobbing, Abash embraced his future wife to calm down. This is not what Abash really wants. Abash has no intention of getting Sifa back hurt with her past. But, Abash's intention of inviting Sifa's kinsmen, it was because he wanted to make calculations with all of them. Want to show if Sifa is no longer an orphan who can be oppressed and underestimated.
But, seeing what was happening at this moment, made Abash feel guilty and regretful for inviting all of Sifa's relatives. It felt like Abash was going to kick them all out right now.
"Sifa, you may have forgotten that we took care of you first" Pakde said in a softer voice.
"Caring?" sifa asked with a slanted smile. "If Pakde is taking care of Sifa, why did Pakde let Sifa go when he was kicked out of the house with bukde? Though the house that Pakde occupied, there is also the right of Sifa to live there."
"Sifa, Pakde has been looking for you everywhere, but your grandmother took you somewhere and made us lose you" said Pakde trying to take Sifa's heart.
"really?"
Someone appeared from behind Pakde and Bukde, so they all simultaneously rounded their eyes when they saw who was coming.
"Rohaye?" lirih Pakde was surprised.
"I am a witness, where you are molesting this child" said the middle-aged woman, named Rohaye.
Yes, Rohaye is the one who helped Sifa and grandma find a place to stay. Buk Rohaye also helped grandmother to find a job as a washing worker. But, since the husband died, Buk Rohaye had to return to his hometown with his children. Therefore, Sifa did not remember much about Buk Rohaye, because they only met once. Sifa only remembered, if there was a woman who gave a place to sleep and food that night. But Sifa did not remember her face and what her name was. Sifa only remembered, if the woman drove them to the house where she lived with the grandmother the next day.
Pakde and Bukde were silent, because this time they could no longer dwell. Buk Rohaye used to be very scared and disinclined, because of her husband who was a soldier. So, their family did not dare to deal with the Rohaye Buk family.
"Everything is clear" Abash said, ending the conversation. "So, what other lies are you going to invent?" abash asked with a sharp look towards pakde and bukde.
"What do you really want, to invite us here just to be embarrassed?" ask the guy bukde.
"For that matter, never sell the name of Sifa for your own personal gain. Want that you say if Sifa has a sibling relationship with you on your content account that is not clear, that is, or in the type of your comment that says if Sifa can be that great thanks to the help of all of you," exasperated Abash.
"Sifa can get here by her own efforts, not by your help. For that, never sell the name Sifa for your sake. Whatever it is," growled Abash. "If you are caught selling Sifa's name and claim to be a brother or a person who has helped Sifa in times of trouble, then get ready to get a call from the police station, he said, on the false charges you made" Abash threatened.
They all seemed to be gulping down his saliva violently. It seems very clear, if they are very afraid of the threat that Abash gave. It's a law of nature, right? If we who do not have money, will not be able to win against people who have power. But, this time because Abash has the power, it does not mean Abash abused his power, but Abash just wants to protect his future wife. And also, giving lessons and deep regret in the pakde and bukde Sifa.
"By not reducing my respect, please leave this place," Abash said, making Pakde and Bukde feel ashamed.
Sifa's relatives came out of the ballroom with a red face that held the shame.
"Sifa, please forgive Pakde," said Pakde and rested at Sifa's feet.
Abash quickly hid Sifa behind his body. The man knew that if Sifa would not have the heart to let her father beg her.
"Mas--" shouts Sifa from behind Abash's body.
"Sifa forgave you, but remember, never see Sifa again" Abash upset and told Pakde to leave.
"Sifa, remember, we're still brothers. You can only marry this man, if your husband is the one getting married. This is your legal guardian, Sifa. You have to remember that, you do not be arrogant, because someday, only your husband can marry you," Bukde said with emotion.
"really?" ask Abash. "Did Pakde never drink alcohol? Or Pakde until this moment his prayer never stayed?" abash asked with a slanted smile, thus making Bukde speechless.
"Sifa could marry a representative of the ruler, because his pakde could not be responsible for himself in the presence of the creator, so, how could he be a marriage guardian of Sifa later?" abash continued with great emphasis. "So, don't look for excuses to complicate our marriage."
Bukde felt annoyed, making the middle-aged woman even more embarrassed.
Yes, in islam itself. The most mandatory thing to be a marriage guardian is, keep the prayer five times. If that alone cannot be maintained, then the marriage guardian can also be replaced with the guardian of the judge's marriage.
