Her.. A Choice For Me
ACCEPTED

Limasan Gandarani's.

Wednesday, since 4 am, many people look back and forth there, arranging this and that. When Mahen asked Mr. Jim just replied, there will be a thanksgiving event later tonight ba'da maghrib.

This morning after breakfast, Jim seemed busy. Many of the guests he invited into his workspace, all dressed in Javanese customs. Feeling uninterested, Mahen chooses to remain silent in his room while playing a video of his memories with Naya. Don't ask where Rey and Simon are, both unseen from last night.

" dear.... When do we meet? everyone seems to be hiding something from me... My wounds have not dried properly even though it has been almost a week ". Mahen spoke while looking at the photo of his girl.

Over time, Mahen got bored and finally fell asleep.

Centule.

Mama is busy in her residence, spreading a large carpet in the living room assisted Nanda. His two children he asked for leave today in order to help him realize the series of events later tonight.

His face was radiant this morning, but since last night he was incessantly crying when Jimsey reported about the news that would be a surprise for his eldest son.

" Sister, Esa, take the cake at Bu Gito and please call the florist ".

" Deck, Nanda... Then invite Ustadzah all study mothers at 16.00 ... Don't forget, it's a souvenir of her recitation ". My mom is busy organizing this and that. He wants everything to be perfect.

" Yes mom... ". Both are together.

They are both enthusiastic about doing his mother's request this time, they are happy, even the father who was in Mahen's room. Occasionally it seems to wipe away the tears that fell on his old cheeks. So very happy.

Ageng Joglo. Yesterday's.

Danarhadi called Jimsey and Wisesa into her room last night. He wanted to discuss before his blessing went down to one of the men who had proposed to his great-grandson.

" Mad, express your opinion ". Point it at Galuh with the look in his eyes.

" Mahen I'm ready to help Mathew when I get back to the USA with Rani, the cake... Only Mahen is able to take care of Naya and Exona, he is my asset ".

" In addition, Mahen has a commodity agricultural business that currently exceeds his monthly turnover in Exona, a very independent child... Even if he refuses to raise our family company... Naya will never lack, if grandfather worries about their future ".

" Mahendra Guna, his ankle was amputated for saving my life first... His mother was the owner of the honorary title of Minang Kingdom, given by the family of Puti Reno Amelia Sutandir... Although Mahen is not a noble descendant or has noble blood, but his grandfather is a person who is meritorious in the culture of majesty in his ancestral village, because the title mosesabab was down... Mahen has a nasab which is also a very good cake ".

" Mahen's leg is deformed? ". Ask Wisesa.

" You just found out? ".

" I've never met him, Amir never told me about his physique ".

" Ckck once slow stays slow ". Galuh.

" You mind that, Mom? ". Danarhadi asked Wisesa.

" The origin is not a defect of faith, I don't mind cake ".

" Otherwise, continue Galuh ".

" Mahen has loyall people who are very much needed in this business.. Our family company is not a small cake company... Need a person who understands the ins and outs of his yet, Mathew certainly can but Mahen experience, his analytical sensitivity is very detailed... Just like me ".

" What do you think about Raden Hasbi? ".

" I'm not sure.... ". Galuh's Law is short.

" Mas Hasbi's scope of work is different from our company's cake... Religiously, Mas Hasbi is superior but the assets of the Kusuma family also need qualified people to manage... Indeed, we can hire the services of professionals, but yes there must still be control of us as the holder of power ". Wisesa expressed her opinion.

" Kusno also agrees with you Galuh.. ".

" Yai Maksum sent me a message yesterday but the words hang... Grandpa continues Mas Hasbi's proposal? ". Ask wisesa.

" I just said when he came to see me... My decision, it depends on Naya... I want my great-grandson to be happy.. When I asked Kyai Maksum to wait for Naya to be healthy, he replied: All is clear, Naya does not love Hasbi and yesterday has officially rejected the proposal... So he just said thank you and asked to be prayed that Mas Hasbi could legowo accept this ".

" Thank God..... ". Say them both together.

Galuh and Wisesa hugged without them noticing. Galuh, he was moved, shed his happy tears in front of the grandfather.

" Direct the marriage contract, but I can't attend... I'm blessed from here... And keep this news from both of them... I want to surprise them... ". His orders to Wisesa.

" Good cake... "

" She, you will bring Mahen here... I wonder... You defend him in such a way ". His orders to Galuh.

" I've asked Kyai Jazuli to get married... The official letters to the civil records are also ready and complete... ". Galuh.

" I'll take it first, later his thanks how Naya wants... ". Danarhadi still looks weak.

" Prepare well, the best.. Sesa, go home first... You need to ask your potential ghost, right? I'm the same Naya here, there's Kusno too ".

" I'll be home tomorrow afternoon for Galuh kek.. After Grandpa and Naya take the medicine.. Naya in paes ageng no? ". Ask Wisesa.

" It's up to the kid.. I want to give you a surprise, which is important, the man... ".

" Pake donk cake, let's be dramatic... Must be your son coming later Sa... Dikira forced with Hasbi... Haha.. I'm gemes, really Meela's potokopian ". I laughed imagining that.

***

Wednesday ba'da dzuhur. Limasan Gandarani, a few hours before the marriage contract.

" Where's Mahen Rey? ". Ask Jim when he just arrived.

" In a room like sir, I call you ".

" No need, I went there.... ". He heads to Mahen's room with Wisesa.

Tok.

" Hen? can I come in? ".

" A little while Sir ". Mahen still wears a koko shirt and loose sarong dzuhur prayer, he then folds his prayer mat then steps slowly open the door of the room.

" See... Please ". He said as they sat on the sofa in the room.

" Mahendra, I'm Abah Naya... Amir says you have expressed an intention to propose to my youngest child... Doesn't it? ".

" Right Abah, it's been a long time but when my parents are going to come here to apply officially, you have to operate first so that intention is delayed ".

" Yes, Amir told me, how are you now? ".

" It's better than ever, thank God.. Thank you Abah ".

" How did you hurt, son? can you bring some activity for a long time? ". Abah asked looking at Mahen's left abdomen.

" There is still a little pain and soreness, and still have to use mass even though the stitches are dry.. Just prevent from getting exposed to water ".

" Thank God... ".

" What is your intention to continue? ". Ask Abah back.

" Sure ".

" good.. I accept your proposal, the application procession follows but if not I don't have a problem... Because I don't wear the culture of courtship and fiancee.. So ba'da maghrib later if you can, we will immediately do the marriage contract process... Hows it? ".

" Seriously Bah? Mr Jim? ". Mahen was shocked alternately staring at the two middle-aged men before him.

" Yes Mahen... Seriously, if you're still in love with Naya that's also ". Mr. Jim teases.

"............. ". Mahen was speechless, he lowered his head long ago, He was too embarrassed because some of the clear liquid's beads had escaped falling from his eye bead. Really his heart is very fast pounding at this time because it is too happy.

" Mahen? ". Abah understood, the child in front of him is probably in shock. Just met in person at asked to marry his daughter even though he knew, this is what the two wanted.

" In the Lord, bismillah.. I ready... Documents to his civil records? Or can we follow? ". Say it then while wiping the remaining liquid that is still attached to the corner of the eye.

" Happy Son... Finally your struggle God answered ". Mr. Jim had to see Mahen, he got up and hugged the boy for a long time.

" I'm allowed to tell Mama and ask for her blessing, okay? ".

" Your family has known since yesterday Mahen... They have been preparing since morning, studying and so on... Just call your mom ".

" Completeness documents to civil records are also complete... Now the rest of the bride-to-be and her Mahar alone, ready or not ". Jim continued explaining.

" Yes ready ". This time Mahen firmly replied.

" There are conditions that you must meet before the agreement will be ".

" What's Bah? ".

" Read the Quran at least 1 juz ".

" good... I do now... The dowry's cash only because I haven't prepared a ring for Naya ". Mahen was about to rise up to take the pocket Quran that Naya gave him but Abah prevented.

" You did it with Amir yesterday afternoon.. Thanks ".

Mahen confused "Don't I just help ka Amir and accompany his muroja'ah? ".

" That's Amir's mission... ". Jim chimed in with a smile.

" Prepare your mentality, son.. We'll take care of the rest... ". The two old men in front of him got up and exited the guest room that Mahen occupied.

After their departure, Amir and Rey sneak in.

" Ciyeeee, who wants to marry.... ". Seloroh Amir's.

" Ka, ko ga said the hell... I have no preparation.. ".

" It's not necessary, it's just a deal... It was finished outside... Nagian Naya did not know that she was going to marry him, Mas Mahen... This is a surprise for you... A Gift from our Buyut ".

" Make up a hanger.. I'm in shock, shocked... Duh, Rey my suit please find ".

" The boss prepared me and Simon yesterday to prepare everything for today including Mahar ". Rey hangs the captain Mahen will wear.

" So I'm the only one who doesn't know? ".

" He em, Naya doesn't know either... Kan surprise... ". Amir's Kekeh.

" Boss, the Mahar... 3.110.109.. 31 December, 10 January, 10 March and 9 May... Your sacred date.. hehehe ". Rey gives a frame inside which has been neatly arranged a number of money used for dowry.

" Rey........ Thanks ". Mahen doesn't know what else to say. He chose to take ablution back then perform sunnah hajat prayer as his thanksgiving.

Mahen sobbed, what a fad that made anyone who heard his trough. Their story is full of twists to get to this point. For a long time he offered a prayer as an expression of his gratitude to the Khalik.

Amir who saw his sister-in-law's prospective brother-in-law became quiet after the prayer had approached him.

" It's memorized, right? do not forget later if you meet Naya tomorrow, say a prayer of kindness for her.. ".

" In shay Allah Ka... This is not a dream, is it?... Mama was contacted from there she picked up my phone ".

" Not Raden Mahendra, not a dream... Mom intentionally... Let it go first, enjoying the euphoria of surprise ". Amir understood, he was very happy, especially Mahen.

Amir hugged the man in front of him, Mahen was like a sibling to him. He believes his sister-in-law can bring Naya to be a good wife and mother later.

The afternoon atmosphere in Galuh's residence is a little quiet. Krisna, Simon and Rey have prepared security parameters when the procession ijab kabul held later, as well as in Joglo Ageng, Kusno has standby with his men.

Mahen looked at the suit beskap Java in front of him.

" Dear, in a few hours you will be lawful to me, Ainnaya ".
