Alvin cleared his throat then smiled again, not really understand this person, cheap smile but stingy talk. I can't wait for Alvin's explanation.
"Sarah I want to talk to you and this is serious" Alvin said again testing my patience.
"Iyaaaa to the point alone, from earlier muters mulu" I'm increasingly made Alvin annoyed.
"West.. I want to be honest with you, but you don't get angry after listening to what I said about me loving you more than your car it's true, can not be denied I love you" explained Alvin.
"Darling ?? As what ? friend ? Brother ? Or a girlfriend ?" Ask me to clarify
"In my dictionary there is no dating word, I just want a girlfriend after marriage because it's more beautiful" replied Alvin seriously.
"If in your dictionary there is no dating word, then what do you think ? I mean you love me just as a brother ? Or a friend ?" I asked Alvin again
"More than that.. Sarah I want to be serious with you, I want to have a legitimate bond" Alvin replied.
Now it's my turn to hesitate on Alvin, what's with my heart suddenly like this ?
I'm still silent.
"What's up ? Why are you silent ?" Ask Alvin.
"No, do you seriously want to establish a legitimate bond with me ? While my past was very dark, would your parents accept me ?" I'm serious about Alvin.
"If that's what you're afraid of, let's talk to mom and dad together to convince them, but that's if you really want to be with me" Alvin told me.
"When did you fall in love I mean you started feeling love for me ?" I asked Alvin.
"After I helped you from those men, I didn't know why after that I felt love for you, and it's been a long time to this day that the feeling is getting stronger, every time you teach you to pray when the love in my heart begins to appear, forgive me if I am presumptuous to have expressed my heart" Alvin spoke softly and humbly to make my heart melt.
"Well, if indeed you want me to have a dark past I can't refuse because actually I also have the same feelings as you" I replied
Alvin smiled at my words.
"But I'm sorry Sarah I'm not as romantic as your girlfriends" Alvin said, laughing
"You're not as romantic as my ex but you're good at getting people's hearts loose" Ledekku
"One more time Sarah, I don't want to date, because I'm sure going out after marriage is more beautiful" Alvin explained.
"Then ? We married ? I failed before the wedding and I don't want to fail again, the marriage is not a toy" I said seriously to Alvin.
"I've set my heart on living with you, so I want to justify you immediately, I don't want to if we fall in the pit of sin" explained Alvin.
"When are we going to talk to our parents ?" My toot.
"Later tonight I'll pick you up" replied Alvin.
*********
I can't tell you how my heart, between happiness and fear, is afraid that Alvin's parents won't accept my and Alvin's good intentions.
I have absolutely no doubt about my parents, because from the beginning they wanted a good husband for me, let alone a mother who had always praised Alvin in front of me, if they heard this news, they would be very happy.
But don't papa mama first, if Alvin's parents have given me a new green light and Alvin will tell mom and dad.
I saw from the window that Alvin's room had come to pick me up, I went straight down.
Alvin's just coming in but I'm out on the porch, Alvin smiles at me.
Alvin opened the car door for me and we headed straight for Alvin's house.
In the car I just kept quiet, somehow later ? My hands are so cold.
"What's up ?" Ask Alvin.
"No" I answered lying
"Why silence ? Just relax why is your face so tight ?" Alvin asked with a small laugh
"I'm scared" I answered.
"Fear why ? We're not going to meet a judge or an angel, we're just going to meet dad and mom asking for our relationship's blessing" Alvin replied in his signature joking interlude.
"I'm afraid they can't accept me, you're an ustadz and a lecturer while I ? I'm just an ex-smoker I've been in a holding cell" I explained in a frightened tone
"That's not important it's just the past that matters now that you've moved, everyone must have a past" Alvin replied.
"Secrang you take a breath then throw it and take it again try a few times until you feel rilex" added Alvin while smiling at me.
Okay, I'll try what Alvin said.
I stopped my steps.
Alvin looked at me and smiled.
"Why else ?" Ask Alvin.
"You remember what I taught you every time we started something we had to read bismillah" Alvin reminded me.
I nodded and followed Alvin and read basmalah in my heart, what a smile and every word Alvin could nourish my heart.
"Assalamualaikum Father.. Mum.." Alvin said his regards
It was seen Alvin's parents coming out from the inside and welcoming us.
"Son Sarah.. Please sit down" Alvin's mother said
The four of us sat in the living room.
"What's up with Sarah ? And you're Alvin why are you with Sarah's son ?" Ask Alvin's dad
"Look at daddy.. Mother.. We both want to convey something important to us" explained Alvin began to express his intentions.
Alvin's father and mother looked at each other not understanding the meaning of his son.
"Sarah and I have committed to making the relationship legal so that we are not trapped in sin" Alvin explained to his father and mother.
"Yes sir, ma'am, even if the father and mother bless our relationship, considering Alvin is an ustadz and lecturer, and who am I a former girl who was damaged and never failed to marry" said my humble.
"Look Alvin, are you sure ? Marriage is not a toy, it's a sacred bond, Sarah's son has fallen and I don't want another day you drop Sarah or hurt Sarah" Alvin's father told Alvin.
"InshaAllah well Alvin will not drop or hurt Sarah .. Alvin is ready, Alvin has set Alvin's heart to live with Sarah" Alvin told his father in earnest.
"How's ma'am ?" Alvin's father asked Alvin's mother.
"Mother goes with what father and Alvin say, if this is best for Alvin and Alvin in the Bahgia, why should I refuse" Alvin's mother said, which means giving the green light to our relationship.
Alvin immediately hugged his parents with haru and thanked them. Likewise with me who then sungkem on both parents Alvin.
"Thank you Sir.. Buu.. Already willing to accept me as a son-in-law" I said happily to Alvin's parents.
"Yes, Sarah, if you're happy, we're happy" Alvin's mother replied.
"Our mother's father wants to immediately formalize our relationship into a legitimate bond, if it is acceptable Alvin wants to get married on Friday, for Alvin all days are as good as Friday, if you want to get married on Friday, and we want to marry closed and simple, just attended by both families" Alvin explained to his father and mother. And Alvin's parents agreed to his son's request.
I say goodbye to Alvin's parents.
********
Me and Alvin arrived at my house.
I asked the sister if she had slept.
"Where is mama's husband ? have you slept yet ?"
"Not yet, Ms. Widya in the room with Mr. Wijaya" replied the nurse
I took Alvin to see mom and dad in the room.
Tok tok tok tok
"Mr ... Paaa" Call me from the outside
"Paaaa Sarah wants to talk to mommy papa can Sarah come in ?" I asked my mom.
"Just enter Sarah the door is not in the key" replied papa.
Papa was a little surprised to see Alvin coming with me. Me and Alvin sitting next to Papa.
"What's up, son ?" Ask papa
"Ma .. Ma's.. Me and Alvin want to formalize this relationship immediately with marriage" I replied to my mother and father.
Papa was surprised and asked how with Alvin's parents, me and Alvinpun told everything that Alvin and I had got the green light from Alvin's parents.
"Alright then, papa will arrange a time to meet with Imam Haji and Bu hajah maimunah, so that he can immediately hold this marriage" said papa.
I hugged my mom and dad to thank them.
