It didn't feel like the day was coming, I was busy helping Mom cook in the kitchen. While Arsel was going to take a shower. But suddenly Mother told me to bring a towel for Brother Arsel. For some reason, suddenly this heart beats uncalled when listening to Kak Arsel clean himself with the sound of water gurgling. My mind drifted away imagining Arsel taking a bath without a thread.
" Ah Rissa, what the hell are you thinking. Very dirty of your mind. Let's wake up to Istighfar, "My mind is in my heart.
And it turned out that Brother Arsel was aware of my presence.
" Rissa, are you outside ???? " Shouted Brother Arsel.
" Well, here I bring you the towel. "
" Where is the towel ??? "
" Huh ???? What ???? You told me to go in there, baby ??? "
" No, just put it up here, baby. "
" Yes already then, "Ask me as I run with embarrassment.
In the kitchen, the food was cooked. The food is quite simple but appetizing. Eight eggs and salted fish along with the sauce. Do not forget the vegetables are cabbage and eggplant that have been boiled. Crackers and iced tea are also on our simple dining table.
And it just so happened that Arsel was done cleaning himself up. We were finally ready for lunch. Even to my amazement at Brother Arsel, he ate lunch without using a spoon just like us. He tried to blend in and get to know my family well.
After lunch, we chatted in the living room. And Brother Arsel also revealed the reason for coming to our house.
" Previous to apologize for Arsel's sudden arrival here, Mom and Dad. Arsel came here with the aim of getting to know the family closer here. Arsel also wants to introduce himself here. So later on the day of the engagement, we all know each other. "
" Yes son, Mom and Dad here are also very happy to get to know Nak Arsel. I never expected to have a daughter-in-law as good as Nak Arsel, who could accept Rissa and her family well. "
" Yes, Arsel just asked for a blessing from the family here. Please bless us so that we can be happy in this relationship. "
" Yes son, our family will surely bless your relationship. Moreover, his father Nak Arsel has been so good to our family. "
" Yes and one more thing, but if Mom and Dad allow it. Arsel wants to take Rissa to Malang, because there is someone who wants to meet Rissa. And Arsel promised to take Rissa to him. "
" Yes already then, it's okay. As long as our message is taken care of. We put Rissa on Nak Arsel huh. "
" Yes Arsel promises to be as good as possible to keep Rissa and will never hurt her in the least. Mom and Dad, don't worry. "
" Yes, Son Arsel, "Said Dad.
For about five minutes we stood and knocked at the door, but there was no word. We even tried to ask around the neighbors, she said My biological father and stepmother were inside the House. Because of these hours they are always at home.
Brother Arsel tried to calm my heart and told me to remain patient in the face of my biological father's attitude.
" It's okay, don't be sad and don't think about it. The important thing is that we have the intention to do good and ask for her blessing. Our good intentions are not well received, no problem. What is important is that we as young people have tried to respect the old dear, " said Brother Arsel, trying to calm my heart.
" But still, my biological father doesn't have a heart. His attitude was completely overdue, I had repeatedly apologized to him but was never appreciated. What the hell is my fault ??? It seems like she really hates me ??? If he doesn't want to have another bond with me, he should just say so. I'm tired of being treated like this, I'm tired, "Say me crying and shedding my tears.
Brother Arsel immediately wiped my tears. And lead me into the car.
" It's a baby, you can't talk about it anymore. Because how also in your body, has flowed blood from your biological father dear. Forever you will have a bond that can never be separated by anything. As bad and evil as he is with you, one day he will realize. You don't give up, baby, I will continue to accompany you to get the blessing of your biological father. Like the thing is you're always beside me to get my blessing from Mama. "
" Dear, thank you for accepting my family situation. And thank you for always being there for me, baby.
" It's equally dear. Because it's my job to be your life partner. So whatever and whatever the circumstances of your family, I will definitely accept it with sincerity and sincere affection. And I promise you, I will always be there for you. In Likes And Grief. "
" So, really, baby ??? "
" Yes, baby, you are difficult or happy I will still stand with you. I will never leave you alone to face even the toughest problems of your life. "
" Thank you, baby. "
" Yes dear, " said Brother Arsel while gently rubbing my cheek.
We immediately went home to get ready to go to Malang. And when we got home we both alternately cleaned ourselves and changed clothes. It turned out that Mom had prepared some food for us before coming home. So that we immediately ate delicious food Mother's cooking.
Now we have to say goodbye to immediately go to Malang. Mom hugged me and kissed my cheeks with my forehead.
" Kid Arsel, take Rissa, Mom's son. Take good care of him, and be careful on the road. "
" Yes ma'am, we're saying yes. Sorry if there are wrong words and attitudes that Arsel did not intentionally. Arsel actually feels at home with the atmosphere here, Mom, but Arsel had to justify Rissa first we could stay here Mom. Mother and family take care of health, we say goodbye first. "
" Yes, " said Mother.
We immediately say goodbye and shake hands with others.
