UNEXPECTED MARRIAGES

THE PROPOSED REQUIREMENTS

This kind of swish had only first crossed his heart. Starting with a clashing gaze and then until his figure left, the feeling did not disappear. Whatisthis? He doesn't understand at all. But for sure, he

hope fate will bring them back.

Belinda looked at the window of the canteen, it was already afternoon. He glimpsed a black clock that coiled around his wrist. At 16. 43. After this, he intended to go straight home.

“Yes Allah Bel, it is natural that he became the legend of the handsome prince in our campus.”

Belinda. “Who do you mean?”

“That, brother Charles. All this time I only heard the story because he had a rare final semester to campus.”

Belinda breathed. “If it's a handsome guy business, you're up to date, huh? Great dah.”

“Iya, dong. I love the creation of a good and beautiful God. Admiring his creation is a form of my gratitude.”

“Yes, it's up to you, deh.” Belinda threw a glance at the door as someone walked in with a smile.

What kind of guy is here too?

“Hai Bell!” Without permission, Candra immediately sat on the chair in front of Belinda beside Sasi.

“Why are you here?” Ask Belinda ketus. His ears and heart were not ready to hear the man's boast.

Candra laughed softly. Laughing at the suspicion of the girl in front of him. That's natural and he's not offended. Because before, he did do something suspicious about the girl.

“Yeah, Bel, don't suudzon keep dong with me. I promise I won't do it again.”

“So you want what nyamperin me?”

Candra sighed, reached into her trouser pocket, then pulled out her phone. “Have checked instagram yet?”

Belinda. His suspicion of the man in front of him began to diminish.

“At first I didn't know that you were also in this poetry contest. You know, I followed him too. Just as I was checking, uh, I saw your name among the winners. I have no doubt that it must be you even though there may be many people who have the same name.”

Belinda patted her eel. “kok can forget yes, today is the announcement.”Directly searched his phone in his backpack. Moments later, after checking her Instagram, she screamed hysterically.

“Bener, Can, I can! I got champion three! Thank goodness...!”.

Candra and Sasi smiled. “Congratulations yes, Bel. I'm so happy.”

“Iya, Can, thanks yes. Uh, what about your poem?”

“Only enter fifty selected poems listed.”

“It's also thank God right, Can?”

Candra smiled as she nodded her head. This was the first time Belinda had spoken to him so loudly. “Ya, already, then I go yes.” Candra rise.

“Do not want to chat with us first?”

Candra's eyebrows meet, staring confusedly at Belinda. “Emang can? Don't you like it when I'm near you?”

Belinda smiled. “From now on can you promise to get rid of your feelings for me.”

Mr. Gunawan enjoyed a glass of warm chocolate while feeling the fresh smell of air in the yard next to his spacious house. There are two mango trees whose fruit is still small there. Aster with a variety of colors, red and white roses, and a fountain with a fish pond underneath.

In the past, when his wife was still there and the children were young, he often spent the afternoon in this place together. Enjoy your family's favorite snacks and talk about anything. Next, there will be laughter that enliven their big house.

“Master, the guest has arrived.”

Mr. Gunawan looked over. “Yes, bik, tell me to come straight here. And, please later bring drinks and food for his guests yes bik!”

Before long, the said ‘tamu’ by bik Iyem appeared from inside with a wide smile. Gunawanpun immediately returned a smile.

“What about your health, Gun? I see you look better.” Said Mr. Budi while patting the upper arm of Mr. Gunawan.

“Alhamdulillah, since my daughter agreed to this matchmaking, I have become more powerful.”  Gunawan replied excitedly. The young man standing next to Mr. Budi. The young man who had such a charismatic face.

“It..”.

“my Ibra, om.” Ibra immediately took Mr. Gunawan's hand to be attached to the forehead.

“Yes, this is Ibra, my adopted son.” Mr. Budi added.

“Hmm, sorry if the position of brother Charles must be replaced by me.” Ibra said heartlessly. Because initially, Pak Gunawan's daughter was intended for his adoptive brother.

Gunawan smiled. “No problem. I heard your story from your father. Om sure, you are a reliable husband. Your father's judgment cannot be wrong.”

Ibra. It was a form of praise, but his heart just felt uncomfortable. Gaining trust like this does not make him happy even become a burden.

“O yes, we chat while sitting yes. Don't stand still. Come please!” Mr. Gunawan moved his hand to the right side, pointing at a set of rattan chairs not far from where he stood. Mr. Budi and Ibra obey the orders of the host.

Just sitting down, Iyem's bik popped out from the inside with a tray containing two glasses of watermelon juice and a plate of chocolate cheese bananas. After putting it on the table, the old woman passed inside after bowing allowing the guest to enjoy what he had brought.

“Begin, Bra, there are a few things you should talk to about this matchmaking.” Mr. Gunawan started the main topic after previously making small talk.

“Ya om, dad told me.” Answer Ibra gently.

“Sgratitude.”

Mr. Be silent. He chose to listen while enjoying the juice of watermelon made by bik Iyem.

“Begin, Bra.” Mr. Gunawan took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. Actually a bit heavy he conveyed this because Ibra and Mr. Budi did not necessarily accept. But how else. This is

belinda and her daughter's request threatens that if not approved, she rejects the match.

“Actually, at first princess om refused this matchmaking because she was very young. He was seventeen years old and had just entered college. But he finally agreed. However, he did apply some conditions. “ Mr. Gunawan

looking into Ibra's eyes that looked serious listening to her words. The man with the thin mustache decided to continue his speech.

“The first condition is that she wants her marriage to be done secretly without anyone knowing except us-we alone. Because he said he didn't want his friends to know he was getting married. The second, though,

she hasn't had sex until she feels ready. And here om ask you never once to force it. Give him a chance to get to know you. The third, because of the second condition, it means that she is not ready to get pregnant until she herself feels ready. So what do you think, then,

Bra?”

Ibra smiled slightly. “That's no problem for me om. I'm okay okay aja.” The answer is firm and firm.

Gunawan looked back into Ibra's eyes. He wondered why the young man answered without a doubt. Is not the condition proposed by his daughter is a case that is not easy when the marriage has occurred.

Adam himself did not care about these conditions. What is in his mind is to keep the promise of Mr. Budi to be willing to marry the daughter of Mr. Gunawan so that the desire of his adoptive father to return the favor is fulfilled.

“You sure accept those terms?” Mr. Gunawan tried to provoke Ibra's true feelings.

Ibra. “Yakin, um. Besides I also need to know princess om first right?”

Mr. Gunawan smiled in amazement.”Yeah, you're right. Married princess om to you to be loved and loved. Don't even hurt her heart. Om hope, you take care of her like om take care of her.”

Ibra nodded back. “Yes, um. God willing I will carry out the mandate of om with all my soul.” He glanced at Mr. Budi. His father's face seemed happy to hear his answer. Well, that's what he expected.

Seeing sir Budi happy. Yes, although it should put aside its own feelings. His feelings for Fatimah.

Seriate...
