I'm Growing Old But I'm Afraid of Getting Married
story part 17

Intan was pensive in his room, he again cried but this time diamond cried without a sound until unconsciously he then fell asleep.

the next day, Diamond was awakened by the god's grandmother early in the morning as usual. Looks diamond eyes are still damp because of the scars crying last night..

"canon... Wake up son, pray at dawn first!

The sound of the divine nek calling the diamond gently made the diamond instantly awaken.

"yes grandma, diamond out now!

Then diamond came out and opened the door of his room, and the god who was still in front of the door looked shocked to see the diamond's eyes were still swollen.

"astagfirullah your eyes why diamond? are you crying, honey?

intan forgot that after crying his eyes would look swollen and now look by his grandmother. Then Diamond looked for reasons so that his grandmother did not suspect him.

"all night the diamonds mostly eat badger, so the granny nangis know for herself that the sweet diamond is a bit directly swollen eyes!.

Nek ilah initially still does not believe in hearing diamond speech and he knows for sure that diamond is lying at this time.

"you want to lie to Grandma? Where does anyone eat chili until like that diamond! This must have been your uncle, where were you last night?

then the musician approached them after hearing his name mentioned by his own mother.

"what the hell mom, musakir ngapa-ngapain kok diamond! Just ask the same person.

Intan then smiled at the god-grandmother and went to the bathroom to clean himself, because today the musakir and the god-grandfather want to take diamonds to the seller. To sell the watermelon they picked yesterday.

"intan has nothing to do, I want to take a shower first.

Intan heads to the bathroom, while the musician heads to the kitchen to help the lady prepare breakfast for the three of them.

In the kitchen, the lady felt unsettled and then she asked the musician.

"that's your nephew why the hell, son? His eyes are so swollen? Where did you take him last night? Is he bothering people there?

Muzakir actually wanted to hide this from his mother, but gradually the godhead would also know, so the musakir told him everything that happened last night.

"so look ma'am, the diamond met last night his ex who had invited him to marry was loh ma'am, who was told mba ratih.

Bu ratih had previously told all the diamond problems to the musakir and bu ilah, so they also knew very well that the diamond had been surrounded by her future husband.

"god, is that so? Worth his eyes until swollen so cry, apparently met the man anyway!

Muzakir confirmed his mother's words, and he told her how sad she was when he saw her in front of him. Although in her daily life diamond is a very cheerful and active girl.

Muzakir only until not finished thinking so see diamond who is very sad.

" don't mind mom, zakir just don't believe diamond can be as sad as that mom, last night diamond saw her ex was sitting on the porch of the new resident's house mom.

In the village of Nek ilah, there are some transfer residents who have only lived in the village for a year, and one of them turns out to be a rian family. Because they rarely socialize so musakir and nek ilah do not know him too well.

Soon enough, the diamonds came out of the bathroom and the food was ready. Nek ilah and zakir tidied their food at the table.

Meanwhile, Diamond dressed up in his room and after he finished then went to the dining table for breakfast together.

They ate together quietly without any conversation. Nek ilah did not ask the diamonds nor the musakir, they let the diamonds eat comfortably.

Sadly, diamonds by all members of his family. Even whatever was done diamond did not escape the attention of his grandmother and uncle.

It is seen that doni, roni, riki and fatih are already in the location waiting for the arrival of musakir and nek ilah. Doni and Fatih look more excited after seeing diamonds also come with them.

"wih has been an exemplary employee!

Muzakir teases his friends as he usually does they are only joking and never put into the heart every word of musakir.

" yeah, you can't get up in the morning.

Doni then said and back to tease the music, doni thought that the music never woke up early because it always came bad luck. Muzakir always wake up early and help his mother cook.

"it's good that you don, don't know if you're a chef at home, and the building is always the earliest.

muzakir explained that he always woke up early, but still no one believed him.

Eventually they all set out for the fruit market to sell their harvested watermelon to retail watermelon sellers in traditional markets.

On the way to the fruit market using two open cup cars driven by musakir and fatih, diamond suddenly asked his grandmother about the wedding.

"nek diamond wants to ask!

Nek ilah then held the hand of diamond.

"yes, baby, what do you want to ask? Just ask!

"grandmother, how do you find the right man to be a husband?

Nek ilah and muzakir were shocked to hear diamond's question.

" why suddenly ask so intan? Do you have a candidate, Diamond?

Muzakir asked out of curiosity.

"is diamond getting married?

Then the lady also asked diamond.

"intan is just scared grandma, uncle!

Intan expressed her fear of getting to know and reconnect with men, because her first love and first boyfriend hurt her so much, she almost lost her trust in men again.

"why afraid, baby?

Nek ilah asked intan again, while the musicians only focused on driving their car.

"intan is afraid of choosing the wrong man and heartache again Grandma, this time alone is very sick, especially later if married. Intan is afraid to marry Grandma.

Nek ilah then advised diamond because diamond seems still traumatized by romance.

"you should not be afraid to marry a diamond, as long as you are married to the right man, then your life will always be happy, and the slightest problems will be resolved like your father and mother, and your mother, after all, you are 25 years old, you still have time to find the right man to be a companion for life.

Intan then fell silent for a long time, he permeated every word of his grandmother, because if he married a man who could understand and understand each other like his father he would definitely be happy like a coach.
