"So we were once a force in the Military Academy, yes you could say best friend. Everywhere always together even run for a date also together. Hahahaa" said Mr. Ahmad while laughing widely.
"Yes right, and that was about thirty-five years ago. It's been a long time" Mr. Wahyudi looked away considering his youth.
Mr. Ahmad and Mr. Wahyudi are retired army TNI. They were friends while studying military together.
After both passed, the two lost contact due to differences in assignment placement. Mr. Wahyudi was assigned to the capital of Jakarta while Mr. Ahmad returned to his hometown of Sidoarjo.
Mr. Ahmad had an accident while on duty in the conflict area at that time. He accidentally stepped on a mine which resulted in his leg being seriously injured so he had to amputate both. That's why he had to sit in a wheelchair until now. Fortunately, his life is still safe.
Mr. Wahyudi looked sad to hear the story of his best friend, he patted the shoulder of Mr. Ahmad to give strength.
The day is getting noon, Madam Dewi invites her guests to lunch. In the middle room is ready to be presented a variety of side dishes, fruits and drinks.
With a brown carpet with floral motifs, they sit together to eat a meal that has been prepared by Miss Dewi.
"Eating a lot of gold, sorry the condition is just like it was" Ellie said softly to David who was sitting next to her. He handed over the plate he had filled with rice to David.
"No problem" David replied casually with a wide smile. Her heart trembled to the sweet treatment of this beautiful girl. He grabbed the plate from Ellie's hand. Accidentally their hands touched. Ellie's cheeks blushed red like tomatoes. In a hurry he looked away, worried that David would see him.
After the lunch together was over, Ellie appeared to help her sisters clean up dirty dishes and glasses and bring them back.
"Mbak El, your husband-to-be is very handsome. Meet where's mbak? Want a clear dong so" whispered Rena's second sister Ellie while giggling amusedly.
"Yes, Ellie's got a handsome guy who never told us - did we?" Karin Ellie's first sister is talking.
"Hush, you guys are still kids don't think of guys just yet. School used to be a pinter" replied Ellie fiercely but with a smile.
"Yes yes, that's fine. We are your sister without learning we have been born a genius" said Rena smiling proudly.
"Well that's right" Karin also replied while carrying a dirty glass back.
Ellie shakes her head, her two sisters are always compact. Their age is only two years. Karin was in the eleventh grade of High School while Rena was in the ninth grade of Junior High School.
Mr. Ahmad invited his guests to perform the prayer duhur congregation at the mosque precisely to the left of the middle room. He asked David to become a priest. David accepted the request of his future father-in-law.
After they finished praying, they gathered again in the guest room. They will discuss about the initial purpose of meeting these two families. None other than Ellie and David's wedding plans.
"So gini Ahmad, my arrival here is to propose to Ellie your daughter to be my daughter-in-law, to be David's wife" said Mr. Wahyudi firmly and calmly.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, Ms. Ratna and Ms. Dewi looked at each other and smiled. Ellie looked down, she squeezed her own fingers interlocked.
David looked very calm, his countenance serious. Netra brown looked straight at Mr. Ahmad. He was trying to convince his future father-in-law with this attitude.
David wishes he had the blessing of his father Ellie. He was ready to marry this girl, maybe too soon but honestly he had fallen in love with the girl.
"I initially disagreed, when my wife told me that something had happened to you both" Ahmad said he looked at Ellie and David alternately.
"Ellie, Karin and Rena are my girls, as much as I can have to keep her from a man who has bad intentions towards her. Ellie is currently in college and living away from the family, I just hope she can take care of herself but the reality .." pak Ahmad quietly did not continue his speech.
Ellie raised her face, she looked at the father with remorse. If he hadn't gone to the bar that night, none of this would have happened. But the other side of his heart, he was grateful to meet David the man who helped him while drunk.
Yes it is true accidentally and unbeknownst to them, David has saved Ellie from Ragil who intends evil on her.
"Sorry om, I'm sorry for what happened and I want to take responsibility for what I did to Ellie.
"Yes, even though I know him but I will love him sincerely, I will always try to keep him and make him happy with me"., David replied firmly and calmly in just one breath.
"It's amazing this guy" Ellie's inner moaned. Very lucky woman who will be his wife later.
Ellie's heart warmed for the umpteenth time, her cheeks blushing back. It felt like flying into space hearing David's words just now. Without warning he looked up at David who was sitting in front of him only blocked by the table.
Netra the two met, as if talking to each other revealed something. Only the two of them knew what it was.
"You how's El?" asked Mr. Ahmad alternately he stared fixedly at the face of his daughter who looked nervous and anxious.
Ellie's excited, hopefully Mr. Ahmad doesn't realize it.
Ellie was confused as to what she didn't know what to answer. "It feels like I really want to be a jinny oh jinny, can be crossed in this situation" he was engrossed in monologue in the heart.
"I'm sorry Ellie's dad" that's all that slid off her lips. His tongue is a mute, he suddenly becomes a stupid man who can not think clearly.
Ellie's heart was betrayed, a year ago she was determined to focus on college. After college he had to get a good job and a lot of salary. The love affair of the umpteenth number. But what now? He fell for David's charm.
The atmosphere was silent again, no one spoke. Ellie and David are looking forward anxiously waiting for Mr. Ahmad to speak.
"Alright, what would you say if indeed the young want it so, the old ones just come along. I bless your relationship and immediately at law. So that I do not think too much Ellie far there is already a guard" said Mr. Ahmad relaxed and smiling.
"Alhamdulillah" mother Dewi and mother Ratna compact said.
"Thank God, thank you. I make sure Ellie is in the right hands of Ahmad" said Mr. Wahyudi reassured his friend and prospective besi.
David smiled with relief, and from that moment he looked at Ellie as if he wanted to hug the girl. If only there were no parents there.
Ellie's dark face now turned bright, a sweet smile rose. If only he was alone almost certainly he would jump up and down so happy.
Alright he will try to sincerely live his destiny of marrying young. If the father has approved, he will also obey.
"How about next week's ijab? said Ms. Ratna excited her net sparkling happily.
Everyone seemed surprised, but the next second ma'am Dewi added "we agree, right sir?" he convinced Ahmad by blinking one eye.
For what Ellie's sake is like choking on a condong fruit, she froze in place. I really can't believe it's going this fast.
While the man in front of him even looks happy he continues to smile while occasionally rubbing the tip of his nose like a person with the flu. "What's got into you, David?" inner Ellie bobbing head.
