Father To Sapphira
Applicable

PoV Risa's

From the moment I finished my bath until I finished my prayer, I saw Manda still in my room. He seems to be focusing on his phone. Besides, there is a gray-ash color with navy color tiles. Also pashmina color is in tune with that tile. It was my dress that I bought a few weeks ago. Would he borrow it ? Do what ?

I walked over to hang my face to the closet door. "You want to pack that game?", I asked to shift his focus.

"Udah, finished the prayer, right ? Now this unclean brother", he even thrust the ash-and-grey robe at me. I looked at him in wonder. "Don't ask a lot of questions". Connect again.

Manda seemed to take off the clothes she was wearing. Then replace it with the game that has been prepared. I just follow it. Take off my negligee and replace it with the Manda's preferred robe.

"More. From the sound", I received a cell phone given by Manda. As for her, lead me to sit in front of the dressing table.

I started focusing on my phone. It turned out that there were thirty-seven missed calls from Rendy. And that call has been going on since this morning. I was amazed to see so many calls. It was so important that he called me dozens of times. I see the call mode. With volume five. Hard enough because I forgot to change it when I went to bed last night. Am I so sound that I can't hear it ?

I open the green app to see the incoming message. There were about twenty-nine incoming messages from the alumni group. I ignored those messages. Because it must be just ghibah. Then I switched to the next message. There's only one message from Rendy. He called many times but only sent one message. And that's at the end of his call time. I ignored Rendy's message. I switched to Erik's message.

[Sa, I want Safira's pinjem. I'll buy him a toy. Bentar. Can you, yeah?]

He added a full emoticon of love at the end of his message.

[I am in front of the house. Kayak kebo you. Mollor mulu]

What ??? Is she home ? Erik ? I'm lyric clock message entry. 12.48. Then I'm lyricizing the current clock. 13.35.

"Astaghfirullah's..." I jumped at the sight of the clock.

"It's easy, man" said Manda, holding both my shoulders.

"Erik has come?", I asked Manda. I looked at Manda who knitted her brows. Wonder. I was about to get out of my seat but again, Manda held both my shoulders to stay seated. Then her hand pushed my cheek to look at my reflection in the mirror.

"Astaghfirullahaladzim".

Again. I was shocked to see my reflection reflected. Did I focus too much on the phone that I didn't realize that Manda had scratched my face. He even put a snail on my head.

"Beautiful, isn't it my work ? Simple but elegant looks set". He said with a satisfied smile. "That doesn't need to be mostly dumb. Want me to wear the hijab or pack it myself ? Chivy. I was waiting outside".

He thrust a navy color pashmina at me. I grabbed it and put it on. Adjusting to my dress. I just realized that outside the room sounds a little crowded. It looks like there are guests.

"Bang Rendy has sent a message?", asked Manda when I was still staring in the mirror. Hem. Not bad also the results of Manda's string. I admire his work.

"I haven't read it yet, anyway". Flat answer.

The look from Manda's mirror widened his eyes. "Gile you, Ndro ? Read dong. Who knows how important it is". He said a little sewot. His face looked sour, but still polished.

I reopened the green app. Look at the message Rendy had ignored earlier.

[After Zuhur I will go home. Wear a neat shirt. Don't kayak inem]

I widened my eyes when I read the message. Don't know why, my heart keeps beating fast. Suddenly a nervousness approached me. Strange thoughts came to my mind.

What does Rendy mean ? He doesn't usually say that. Usually if you want to invite the condangan, surely he will go directly to the point. But this ? What don't - don't...

Argh. My head came - a migraine. I can't let my mind wander and imagine what it doesn't - no. But, is what I have in mind right ? What is the voice of the Rendy family. My chest feels full. My brain can't think clearly

"Rise... "

"Mother." Mother's voice resuscitated me.

"Had awaited. Exit son. Mandas... Take your sister out, yes", Mother told Manda. The words are so soft. Makes my heart beat worse.

'Yes, God. What is this sign ? Strengthen the servant, O Allah, I can speak only in my heart.

Slowly my feet stepped out of the room. Walk towards the living room. My room and my mother's room are in the back near the kitchen. While the Manda and Zein rooms are located in front near the living room.

My footsteps grew heavier as I saw the living room filled with people. Manda slightly pushed me to speed up the pace. I held onto my chest which kept this indeterminate thump.

Manda led me to sit next to the Father who was sitting against the wall of my room. I couldn't lift my face. My gaze was only fixed on my two interlocked hands.

'Why didn't anyone tell me about this show?'

That's all that's ringing in my head. I have absolutely no preparation to deal with a situation like this. I never really imagined.

"Rise... Mr. Rino's family came today to ask you to be part of his family. Are you willing to be proposed by Nak Rendy ?". That's Pakde Surya, my mother's first brother.

"The decision is yours, Risa. I just want you to be honest with your feelings. Whatever makes you happy, surely Mr. Restui", I immediately turned my head when you whispered that sentence. His smile was etched sincerely on his face. I looked at the face of my father. I set my breath and nodded at Father. Then he returned it with a smile. Hold it tightly to my hand.

"Risa agrees with this proposal", said the Father to all who attended. I don't know who's in this room. My head feels heavy to look around.

"In that case, let us embed this as a sign our application is accepted".

My head immediately moved to see the owner of the voice. Aunt Diana ? There's Mira's sister, Sakha, and Lita. Sapphira was also there holding Sakha. My eyes are heating up. I applied it several times so that this clear grain did not flow.

You signaled me to get closer to Aunt Diana. I shifted my weight towards Aunt Diana who was also coming closer. His hand was outstretched to welcome my hand. Then pin the ring to my ring finger.

"From now on, call Mama. Don't get aunty anymore" he said, then kissed me on the forehead.

"I can too?", though whispering, I can still hear it. I stared at the owner of the voice. He just shrugged both of his shoulders.

"I thought I was going to propose to Tio" I said teasingly as my eyes met Tio. I know, Rendy really doesn't like it when I'm close to Tio. While the surprised Tio became misbehaved because of my words.

"Well me anyway, just want to be proposed you be my wife", always with shame - shame.

Scroll from the tail of my eye. His eyes almost escaped his place. I managed to make it ketar - ketir.

"So, Mama had that intention too. But, Mama was afraid that something might explode".

I smiled winning. It turns out I'm not the only one who likes to tease her. But her mother too.

"Yes, don't go on. How about we directly discuss when the wedding will be done ?"

I switched to the speaker. Rendy's Papa. Yeah, I almost forgot. If there is already an event like this, then there will be a wedding. Am I going to be ready for my second marriage ?

"What about next month ? Already entering the beginning of the year as well", this time Kak Mira also spoke.

I slowly shifted my position back near the Father.

"Ciye... Nih ye's proposal... " Manda whispered in my ear. If only not in this kind of situation, maybe I would have pinched her lips.

"It seems like a good idea. Faster is better, right ? A month. I think it's enough to prepare everything" his father Rendy suggested.

You heard me talking with Pakde Surya and Pakde Alam. Their heads looked mangosteen - mangosteen. Seems to agree with Rendy's Papa's proposal.

"We agree with his proposal. Then the show wants how and where?", asked you politely. Looks like you want candidates to give opinions. Maybe even Rendy's parents want to take place in their place. This is Rendy's first marriage.

"What does it want ?"

I was surprised when Mama asked that question. "Kalo Risa. Because this is Risa's second marriage, Risa wants the show to be simple. Attended by family. If the matter of place, Risa just wanted where she held".

I must be aware of the status I am holding. There's no way I'm asking for a fancy show. While I was a one-child widow. For me it is legitimate in the eyes of God and the country is enough.

"In that case, we just have to determine the date, yes. We'll be here in a week to tell you", said Rendy's mother, who was approved by my family.

I just stuck with their plan. My gaze was locked on Safira who was staring at me with her sweet smile. His face looks so happy today.

"Mother is very beautiful", I noticed the movement of her mouth without the slightest sound. Then I smiled as I understood the words he said.

After the verdict, we continued with lunch together. It was too late because we had to negotiate first. I hope after this no one will get sick of Magh because of late eating.
