The tahlilan event has finished until the third day. There are still families who live there, including the Risma family. The Rendra family itself chose to go home because there were also Reni and Riko. He also wants to enjoy time with his two children who just came home let alone Anugrah only endapat leave for 12 days. Cut felt calm and happy when the husband decided to go home. He could not afford to face Risma and her mother who were like watching him while doing anything.
There was something different about Anugrah, after yesterday's meeting with Tiara. He kept thinking about Doni and the aunt's words about marriage.
“What's up? Looks like you have another problem.” Rendra asked the boy who kept looking at his cell phone.
Iskandar came out of the room and joined the father and his sister. From the kitchen, Cut brought a plate of freshly made wet cakes.
“For friends chat.” Cut said then sat next to Anugrah.
“Come stories! We haven't heard much from you guys since until yesterday. It's time you guys talked to us.” Pinta Rendra's.
“Kakak Is first. S2, hajj as well. Next what? Don't tell me to continue with the S3. Papa same Mama also want to be channeled like you tipped granny.”
“Paaaa.” The protests of Iskandar and Anugrah.
“It is reality. We're all going to get there. So what's your goal after this, Is?” ask Rendra back.
“Is already called for an interview at the state islamic campus, Pa, Ma. Maybe in about a week Is will be there.”
“Good, if that Papa agrees because it's close. Mama agrees too, right?” ask Rendra to his wife.
“Iya, Mama agrees.”
“Keep, do you have a candidate and want to get married?”
Glegs…
Anugrah looked at her papa, “Not a candidate yet and not planning to get married at this time, Pa. Is willing to prepare yourself first.”
“Good. Now it's your turn, Deck. You are already duty bound and the only thing you can do after this is get married. Are you going to propose to your high school boyfriend? She's pretty enough to get a better-looking one than you.” Rendra had unwittingly doused gasoline on the coals. Now, the fire started.
“I want to apply him, Papa the same Mama agree?” ask Anugrah doubtfully.
“Agree. His son is good, Papa also knows his mother. It seems that his mother took good care of him. Ask her when can we meet her parents?”
“True, Pa?” Rendra nodded and Anugrah immediately contacted Tiara who was with her parents who had just returned from out of town.
“Until when are your parents home?” ask Anugrah by phone.
“Monday is back in their city. Why?”
“My family wants to propose to you. To-“
“What? You're serious, A?” not finished Anugrah spoke, Tiara immediately interrupted her speech.
“Who, Darling?” the voice of a woman reached the ear of Anugrah.
“Tell your mother that my family wants to propose to you tonight.”
“What??” again Tiara jumped in shock.
“What the hell is it? Who called?” the curious mother finally approached and took the princess's cell phone.
“Hallo, who is this with?”
Glegs…
Anugrah swallowed his saliva with difficulty. “Good afternoon, Aunt. I'm Anugrah's girlfriend Tiara. My family wants to see a family aunt. I want to apply for Tiara, Aunt.” Although a bit nervous, Anugrah who had been married also ventured to talk to the mother of Tiara.
“What's your job?” not the answer that Anugrah received but an interview.
“I am a soldier of pratu rank, Aunt.”
“Know where with Tiara?”
“We're first-class friends at High School, Aunt. So it's third class time.”
“Ouh...friend but married apparently. Come later tonight, I wait!”
“Good Aunt, thank you.”
“Emm,,,”
Tutt…..
Anugrah looked at one by one his family members. “Later tonight, His mother is waiting for us.” Lirih Anugrah hesitated.
“Oke, prepare. After magrib we leave. Ma, let's go get some parcels. We can't carry much because this is quite impromptu.” Cut held the hand of the husband affectionately left to their two sons.
Anugrah again sat himself near the brother. “You dated SMA time?”
The Anugrah was afraid it would finally happen. Iskandar often advised that he did not date at school but now his honesty to the future mother-in-law was a disaster for him.
“Even so-“ said Anugrah was cut off when she counted her fingers.
“Sampe ten times, Brother. Kiss a glimpse of doang. No more, not the same when I was exposed to stimulant drugs first. Be honest, Brother. After that, I like having trouble sleeping. My mind loved to remember the incident and I ended up in the bathroom.”
“You are 100% sure to marry her?”
“Yakin, Brother. He was always there when I liked and humbled him at school. She's a loyal girl, sister. That's why I have no doubt. Even when we're so far away, he's still loyal to me.”
“How is his religion?”
Glegs…
One thing Anugrah has not told her family. “He's Christian, Brother.” Lirih Anugrah and as predicted by his instinct if the brother will react.
“How do you get married if your beliefs are different? My sister has said that you should marry a woman of the faith. It is important for your offspring later. Do not follow modern style as it is now. Free to marry despite important religious differences in love with each other. What will your household be? Does your union allow marriage of different religions? Do our parents agree?” Iskandar rubbed his face rough.
While Anugrah was also confused about how to react. “She's going to convert to Islam, sister. We love each other. He'll definitely follow me.”
“If he wants then his parents? Will they agree? Not necessarily, Dek.”
When Iskandar continued to explain about marriage with different beliefs, Anugrah smiled to look at her brother. Something that Iskandar did not realize was that this was the first time he had called Anugrah with the call ‘Dek’
For others it may be trivial but not for the Anugrah. He had been waiting for this for a long time. While at his home, Tiara is also undergoing an emergency hearing with Mamang in front of his family.
“You've slept together?” ask the mother.
“No, Ma. We only kissed that one glimpse. She's from a good family, Ma. His father was a soldier.”
“You sure you want to marry him?”
“Yakin, Mom. Although suddenly but Rara really loves A.”
“Already, Ma. We have come to where our daughters are taken. We must be willing, not forever they will be with us.”
“Mang, you also know Tiara dating? Why not tell me?” the mother was not satisfied with the rampage.
“Sorry, New. But I always keep an eye on Non Tiara. And the grace was indeed a kind and polite child. His father was also kind, we had even eaten porridge together. Though I have said that I am only a driver Non Tiara but Mr. Rendra still invites me to eat together. From there, I am sure that Non Tiara has found a good man.”
Both of Tiara's parents seemed to be interested after hearing Mamang's explanation. The mother glanced towards the kitchen. The wife of the Mamang is preparing some snacks to welcome their impromptu guests later tonight.
“Dita, when did you introduce us to your girlfriend?” asked the mother glanced at her eldest daughter who was still cool looking at her cellphone.
“I have no intention of getting married, Ma. Let Tiara get married first. Don't you think about me!” ketus Anindita Tiara's.
The night began to come, the Rendra family was ready with his batik uniform. Iskandar and Anugrah are shining tonight. But the nervousness is not relieved of the face of Anugrah especially both parents already know if the prospective daughter-in-law has different beliefs with them.
“Ready?” ask Rendra.
“Siap, Pa.”
Anugrah took over then, he needed a place to neutralize his nervousness. Next door, the elder brother had already regained his composure after grumbling at length for the first time. While in the back seat, a husband and wife who are not young anymore can only smile enjoy their journey to meet the prospective besan.
“Tante Risma doesn't bother Papa anymore right?” Anugrah tried to melt the silence but she chose the wrong topic.
“You if you're nervous just don't carry the name of others let alone drag the name Papa.” Sahut Rendra was upset while the wife just laughed.
“Check that if both want. But if the woman only wants to but the man does not open the way. It won't work, and vice versa. Papa you only consider friends but dear Aunt Risma wants more. And your Papa must be realized first and then know if the friendship that he considers it is only a cover for Aunt Risma to continue to buy your Papa. Fortunately, Anugrah managed to dispel all actions of Aunt Risma until she realized that her actions were only in vain.” Cut explained at length.
“This is also a lesson for you later. Keep a partner who really wants to hang with you but let go if your partner wants to escape. Do not force your partner to continue to survive because it could be that your partner has found a better one than you. Don't stick to one person, there's a lot better out there. Cheating partner indicates if he is not happy with you so he looks for another. So let go of your partner if he gets caught cheating.”
“That's why Mama still maintains Papa? Because Papa can convince Mama if Papa is not cheating?” ask Anugrah.
“Iya. And as a wife, you know if your Papa is cheating or not. But, your papa's closeness with Aunt Risma is still not justified. Mama must be angry and jealous if your Papa does that again.”
“Pa, Mama vent tuh!”
Cup…
Rendra gave a hot kiss to silence his wife's mouth.
“Pa, Don't show off our front intimacy!”
Car enters the yard of Tiara house, “Kayaknya you already memorized ya home?” sindir Rendra who was only smiling by Anugrah
A couple stood at the door welcoming them. Cut who was already at the door with his family was made shocked by the figure before his eyes at this moment.
“Dia??”
***
Guess who Cut saw???
