Marrying a Classmate
Ch. 10: Meet Parents

The house is quite large with a black gate to be the stop of Space. The man honked and not for long, the gate opened. Myria who was at the back turned her head to the side when she heard someone say hello.

“You want to meet him?”

Myria turned straight.

“It is not necessary. Later also know yourself if you live here.” Space continued. His tone was seductive.

“Kasa, whatan, anyway?” Myria's cheeks were red. He who had been crying since then, was now starting to carve a smile.

Myria's smile made Angkasa breathe a sigh of relief. Because, he was also anxious when the girl continued to shed tears along the way. “Come!”

Myria's steps swung softly in the back of Space. He followed his classmate into the house. Actually, Myria was nervous and a little afraid if Angkasa's parents scolded her later.

“Ma, assalamualaikum.” Space shouts from the living room. Not long after his mother came.

“Kasa.” Madam Nasita reached out and stroked her son's hair. Do not forget the kiss on the cheek received by him. The woman shifted her gaze. When he found the child coming with a friend, Mrs Nasita immediately approached.

Myria grabbed the back of Lady Nasita's hand and kissed her reverently. He was a little moved when he did that because he remembered his late mother.

“Sit, Myria. Mother is glad you came here.” Madam Nasita escorted Myria's steps to the sofa. “Wait here, Mommy get something for a snack.”

“No need to bother, Mother.”

“Glorifying guests is the sunah of our prophet. Mother does not feel bothered, stay here first, yes.”

Myria finally nodded and no longer refuted.

“Wait here, I changed my shirt while nyari bokap.”

“Kasa.” Myria held Angkasa with her voice. Two hands resting on the thigh clenched tightly while gripping the skirt worn. “I ... fear,” he said in a soft voice.

Space is chuckling. The guy just this time looked at Myria's face up close. For two more years of one class, he never realized the beauty that was in Myria in the slightest.

“Please, ortu I'm not a bad guy. If I am angry, I will be scolded. Not elo.”

Myria did not answer. He simply stared at Space with a regular blink.

“Trust me, My.”

Doubt was not completely erased, but Myria tried to believe in Space's words. He nodded then set his breath to be calmer.

After Angkasa left, Mrs Nasita came with a tray full of plates filled with cookies. Behind him was a grown woman carrying a drink. Myria wanted to help, but was rejected.

“Let Aunty only, Non.”

Ah, from the way the woman spoke, Myria guessed that she was the household assistant of the Angkasa family. He almost forgot that such a big house could not be taken care of alone.

“Where's Space?”

“Ee, said change clothes, Mother.”

“Oh, yes.” The sofa on the right was occupied by Madam Nasita. The woman allowed the skirt for a while so as not to tangle. “Mother is happy if there is a friend Kasa play to the house. But unfortunately, the boy never invited anyone here.”

Myria was bearded while listening.

“Tok you guys off, huh? Did Angkasa pick you up here on purpose, Myria? Why is it like this night?”

“You drink first.” The glass from the table was taken by Mrs Nasita and given to Myria. As a woman and a mother of two, Ms. Nasita was very sensitive and very responsive to one's attitude. “Do not be nervous like this.”

In the condition of her mouth closed in a glass, Myria glanced while trying to nod. He wanted to shout at Angkasa, why so long ago the guy came back and left him alone.

Glasses down to the table. Myria kept trying to buy time to not answer. Several times he moved restlessly in his seat.

“Ma.”

Finally Myria was able to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard that voice. He turned his head and stood up to pay his respects to the host. Myria's two hands cupped to her chest while bowing her head once.

Angkasa's father who understands that replied no less friendly. “What's this night bring girl friends until wake Papa?”

Myria gulped hearing the heavy sound of the man in green clothes. He felt like running away and forgot the Space offer. However, his mind had not yet been realized, he suddenly felt a gentle touch on the back of the hand.

“Pa, Ma, I want to marry Myria.”

“What?” Madam Nasita spontaneously shouted. The husband nearby was no less shocked. The two senses of sight of the old man were both glaring as soon as he heard the words of the child. “Kasa, what are you talking about, son?”

Myria's guts are shrinking. Sitting him backwards with the captain bowing deeply. Meanwhile, the sky remained calm. It could be that the guy did not react in the slightest fear.

“Ma, I just want to protect Myria. I have a crush on him. After all, he is now living alone, if so Mama's daughter-in-law Papa continues to live here, later he will not be alone anymore.”

Mrs Nasita's mouth was open without a sound. The woman was too shocked to be able to struggle. Let alone counsel for the son, consciousness alone somewhere.

“Kasa.” The father took over the conversation. Angkasa and Myria immediately paid attention to him. “Papa doesn't want to hear your jokes night-night. Remember age. School has not graduated yet, why think you will marry a girl?”

“I told you the reason earlier, Pa.”

“If your intention is to get married because you just want to help, Papa and Mama can make this girl your foster brother. No need to travel the wedding path.”

“What's the difference then? If he married me, Myria would be Papa's son to Mama. Now you want to be raised as a child, someday if I still want to marry him, it's the same, right?”

“Kasa!”

Madam Nasita immediately stroked the husband's arm. The family leader's man had almost lost his patience hearing Angkasa's rebuttal. Wherever the parents, will certainly rethink when the child wants to get married at an early age.

“Kasa, Myria, the wedding was not something easy. Men and women are united by their own promises and responsibilities. They will be asked later in the afterlife about the responsibilities of their role as husband or wife. Getting married is a science, son.”

The talk of Mrs Nasita further drowned Myria's confidence. Indeed, he should not have come from the beginning and did not need to face this kind of situation. It was not that he did not want to be advised, but the advice made his chest tight.

“I know, Ma.” Space interrupts. He really didn't want to give up. “I told Mama and Papa why I'm this decade.”

The two old men in front, Angkasa noticed one by one. The mama was still as shady-looking as ever, while her father was staring seriously with the look of a firmness in his eyes. “This marriage offer is indeed me who invites, Ma, Pa. Actually Myria refused and I did not understand anymore. But, tonight, she was almost harassed by the same thugs. I just saw him continue to help immediately, from the incident just now, I want to take care of him. Without marriage, we are not halal, so I made the decision to bring Myria here.”

Ms. Nasita and her husband fell silent. There was a shock when his son said the incident happened to Myria.

“I promise I won't be weird, Ma, Pa.” Space continued.  “I'm just looking for Myria if she needs to go anywhere.  I promise that if we get married now, it won't disrupt our future. I will follow Papa's will to become a successor in the company someday. School, college and working properly.”

The youngest child of Mrs Nasita is strong-willed. He memorized the attitude of Space and difficult to melt from the first. However, as hard as anything, Mrs Nasita can still find the good nature of Angkasa.

There was a pause for a few minutes before the conversation continued. Two parents who are in front of the children need to take all into account. Madam Nasita whispered to her husband until finally, the man raised his voice. “Night is almost late. You better rest first. Papa and Mama will give a decision tomorrow.”

The tense face of Space began to relax. Breathing that has been held in the chest, can now be exhaled slowly. The guy shifted and was about to talk to Myria.

“Kasa, go back to your room. Mama who will take Myria to the guest room.” Not yet Angkasa talk, Mrs Nasita has first interjected. He switched his eyes. “Myria, sleep here, son. Mommy wants to talk to you as a woman.”
