Young Marriage (?)

3. Son-in-law

***

"Syifa, Diamond. Aunt comes home first. When to play to auntie's house," said aunt Nurfa who just came out of our house.

"InshaAllah aunty," replied Intan then immediately greeted aunt Nurfa.

I am still cleaning my hands on the tap directly approached them and then joined in greeting aunt Nurfa.

"Train on the way auntie," I said.

"Aunty's house is just beside your house" said aunt Nurfa then shook her head.

I was grim while scratching my veil eh scratching the head covered in a veil I mean.

But even the house near must be careful. Who knows there are naughty pebbles that make tripping. Who knows if there are thorns blocking the road. Who knows if there is a cute widower.

Uhh but I just said it in my heart. Can be exited from the list of prospective daughters-in-law if I talk like that. Uh but not necessarily aunt Nurfa had a son. But if you have a son must be cute, Nurfa's aunt is beautiful. It's nice to have a handsome husband. I can show off to Intan. Hiss

"Oyy daydream!" intan said while shaking my shoulder.

"Where's aunt Nurfa?" my many. Tibatiba has disappeared. The feeling was still in front of me.

"He's in his house, Syifa. You are not dreaming of the world. Where was your daydream?"

"Till to the guarantee," I replied. Oops I immediately put my mouth down. Plasteredness.

"You really want to get married? Ckckck."

"Ish shut up!"

"Mama! Syifa said she wanted to get married, Ma!" yelled Intan while running into the house.

Ish that kid is a bitch. Watch out for you, Intan. There's cheese there's taro, there's time I reply. Hahah aisshh pantun whatever.

I also ran into the house. Danger is also if Intan says anything to Mama.

My favorite cartoon is starting. I watched TV alone, leaving Mama and Intan busy cooking. This diamond cooks good, so I feel not very useful in the kitchen. At least they can get their hands on them. Yesterday, I was arrested for frying fish with gloves on. The cooking part I was terrible. I am also worried about how marriage will be. I'm not not learning. But yeah, I just messed up the kitchen. If you get a good cook husband, I'll be lucky.

Ish why lately I think about the husband problem anyway. Effects should be young marriage like.

"Sister! Where are the others?" papa's voice surprised me. I immediately regretted it, and the Papa who had just come home from work sat down beside me.

Oh yes ... This Papa likes to call me brother, even though I don't have a brother.

"Again cooking in the kitchen" I replied, focusing my eyes on the tv.

"So why not cook? Expelled from the kitchen, huh?" ask Papa ngeledek. Papa memorized me where Reti cooks.

"There are ladies and gentlemen who cook, princess Syifa just sit sweet," I said.

Papa could only shake his head.

"Jaudah Papa will take a shower first."

"Eh ... You didn't go home with Papa? Not just going out together. Is he going to be costing again? Don't let him be afraid of being teased by Intan," I said.

"No. Your brother will also be home. It seems like many more patients so the return home is a bit lazy," explained Papa.

"Oh that. Yaudah husss there Papa take a shower first, don't bother Brother watching cartoons," I kicked him out.

"That's yealah!" papa said he gave up and then left.

Dafa's car broke down this morning, so he took Papa because Papa's office and the Hospital where Dafa works were quite close.

I have not told you, Dafa was taken care of by my parents since childhood. Her mother died when she was a baby, that's why my mama was a lame. His biological father was me, still there, and he also often came to Dafa.

Since starting work two months ago Dafa started living alone in the boarding house, but it seems now he will stay with us again because this house is only 1 hour away from the Hospital.

Aiissshhh even talked about Dafa, my cartoon is about to end this. Teepok.

Dafa came home after we finished dinner.

"Dafa, eat first. You must be hungry" said Mama when Dafa came out of the room after cleaning himself.

"So before returning Dafa stopped at the place to eat first, Ma. It just so happened that there was a Dafa friend who lived in this area, so Dafa nebeng him earlier. And before he came home he did not eat Dafa first" explained Dafa.

"Jaudah if that is it. Mama wants to make some coffee for Papa. You guys want hot chocolate, right? Let all Mama make it," Mom pleaded with me, Intan and Brother. The three of us nodded. Just like a child.

We are gathered in the TV room. Intan sat down, in front of a desk while doing college work. I sat on the couch right behind him. Dafa anchored himself next to Papa, on the Sofa facing the TV.

"I went to the kitchen first. Help Mama," I said as I got up to the kitchen.

In the kitchen I saw Mama was pouring hot chocolate on our order.

"Ma, let Syifa help nuangin. Mama is ready for your coffee." I also took over my Mama's job.

"Hmm Ma, who went to the house was an old friend of Mama's? Syifa's never seen it before" I asked.

"Yes dear. Mama's best friend was still a santri at your grandfather's boarding school. After we got married, we never met. She's following her husband. The past is not as sophisticated as it is today. There is no smart phone for communication. I can't believe we're seeing you here again" Mama told me.

"He's got no boy, Ma?" ask again. This is just a simple question. Haha!

"Why? Want to register as his son-in-law?"

"Kok Mama knows?" I'm purapura shocked.

"From your face you're blind."

"Hihi exhausted aunt Nurfa beautiful. Having a boy is great. Who wouldn't want a cute husband. Aunt Nurfa is also good. Syifa Ridho just has in-laws like her."

"Mama told me she did."

"Say it. He will also be at least happy. He must also want to make Syifa his daughter-in-law. Who can resist the son of Seluchu Syifa" I said proudly.

"Luchu but if you can't cook for what. Haha!" reply Mama scoffed. "Eh but speech is do'a you know, baby. Just observe!" continue again while curling.

"Yes yes. Mama will put her son for you. Now let's get this coffee and chocolate to the front."

Garagara nemenin Intan stayed up late doing the job almost I misfortune to campus. In class, I almost fell asleep because of sleepiness.

Anyway, when I get home later I want to settle for sleep.

Today fortunately there are lecturers who did not enter, so I can go home after dzuhur.

Since Intan went to the bookstore first, I went home alone.

Why don't I come? We will need 'me time', yes time twenty-four by seven samasama continue.

"Asalaamu'alaikum!" my kitchen when I got home.

But no one answered my greetings.

I went to the kitchen and found out that Mama was busy making things.

"Raptain, Ma?"

"Yes Allah. Bummer. Why not say hello first?"

"Udah. My mom who didn't hear. What the hell is that for? It's as busy as it is."

"Make pudding. Oh yeah, Mama can I ask you a favor?" ask Mama with her face in cute.

"What?"

"Please take this pudding to Aunt Nurfa's house. Can you?"

"Okeh. Syifa's future in-laws love pudding, right?"

"Aiishh the future in-law? Substantial. Yes, he likes to eat pudding. You're trying to learn to make pudding, so don't be direct to be a daughter-in-law" said Mama. Still trying to hide.

A little boy opened the door. Aiikkk I'm not wrong house is this? At aunt Nurfa's house is there a child? Is this aunt Nurfa's son?

"Who are you looking for?" tanyakanya.

"Sweet sister, her aunt Nurfya there?"

"Tante Nurfa's? Hm ...." The boy seemed to remember. "Nothing, Brother!" the answer.

Aisshh it looks like I did have the wrong house. But, time yes. It's true, I guess.

"Who's dear?" tibatiba heard a woman's voice. He approached us with a smile.

So pretty!

"Who are you looking for deck?" tanyakanya.

"Tante Nurfa's. This is his house, right?"

"Ah is right. Let's go in first!" bring him. "Chad, call Nenda. Tell me there's a guest."

The boy called 'Chad' ran into the house. While I was following this beautiful sister sitting in the living room.

While waiting for aunt Nurfa we chatted. Apparently this beautiful sister bernana Arisya, her name is also no less beautiful huh. He said he was aunt Nurfa's youngest child. And that little boy was his son, his name was Arsyad.

He said again Arsyad called 'Nenda' to aunt Nurfa, meaning Grandma Mother. Aisssh is there. Worth it when I asked Aunt Nurfa she didn't know.

"Hay Syifa!" aunty Nurfa. "Sorry, I pray first."

"Yes aunt is okay. Syifa just wants to send this pudding. Mama made the pudding, she said aunt likes it so Mama sent anterin here."

"Well, you guys get to this repotrepot. Say thanks to Mama."

"Yes aunt. So Syifa went home first."

"You play first."

"Syifa a lot of aunt's duties. Tomorrow again play it," I said.

A lot of tasks, actually I'm still sleepy. Lying circumcision is okay times yes.

"Jaudah if that is it. Greetings to Mama."

"Yes aunt. Syifa said yes aunty, sister." I greet aunt Nurfa and Kak.Arisya. "Papay Arshad's. Assalamu'alaikum."

Arriving at home I immediately fell asleep on the sofa. So sleepy.

"Cieee who ran out of the house of in-laws," said Intan who came out of nowhere.

"Whisper! I'm going to sleep."

"Have you met Aunt Nurfa's son? Saucy?"

This Intan doesn't understand language, it still bothers me.

"Makep. But Nurfa's aunt's son is a girl oyy. Failed to be his son-in-law" I complained.

"What is the only one child?"

"Tauk. I guess not one. What I found was his youngest son. That's his youngest son already had a son, Tan. How's his eldest son."

"How many years old is the youngest child?"

"Many nanya ish. Where do I know. I think he's the same age as Abang Dafa. Ah lupain, want to sleep. Sleepy!" I said while covering my face with a sofa pillow.
