Ramadan Without Sua
Asking Parents

If there is a man who does not mess with his words he is Dhito. Yes, Dhito after returning from the house Ardhita immediately conveyed the intentions and intentions of his heart to the Father and Mother. According to Dhito, there is no more right time than now.

"Where, Dhit? Tumben loh, you're so neat. Where does it smell too," asked Bu Lastri with a laugh looking at his son.

Because, a year and a half new this time his son is so neat and certainly very fragrant. Miss Lastri until her own head saw her son. The Javanese say, "Necis", because Dhito is really neat with a shirt and fragrant.

"So, Dhito baru sowan (visit - in Indonesian) to the home of the future in-law, Mother. Ardhita has returned home. After a two-week quarantine from Natuna," Dhito's story goes.

Bu Lastri and Mr. Hardi were also surprised that Ardhita had returned home and did not give any news. It also feels confused. Whether it is real or not.

"Grandfather, Dhit? Is it true that Ardhita came home? why not tell me first?" ask Mr. Hardi.

"That's right, sir. Ardhita has come from Natuna. The reason was not informed because he spent quarantine in a quarantine house for migrants entering Malang. Moreover, Ardhita also had no idea people were worried about her. So, he just told Dhito this afternoon."

Now Dhito told everything to his Father and Mother. Indeed Ardhita chose quarantine first, besides that there was a two-day time that Ardhita spent with his parents first. There is a meaning to every action that Ardhita takes.

"Yes, good, Dhito. Although it is normal, but it is better to be more careful. Vaccines are also being tested clinically. Later if it has improved, all the rules can be more loose," replied Mr. Hardi.

Thank goodness Mr. Hardi is a positive person so he actually judged Ardhita's actions were true. Now, it has entered a new era of normalcy, a new normal. The rules are not as strict as they used to be in the early days of the pandemic. However, you must implement health protocols and also take care of yourself first.

"Father and Mother, allow Dhito to speak to Father and Mother" he said.

There was a nod of the head from Mr. Hardi and Bu Lastri. Usually, when his son was about to speak and wanted to convey something, it was a sign that there was serious talk that Dhito was conveying. Therefore, as parents Pak Hardi and Bu Lastri will listen to Dhito.

"Look, now Ardhita has returned to Malang. So, according to Dhito this is a good time to continue the plans of two families that were delayed due to the pandemic. So, do you and Mom approve of Dhito's editing Ardhita?" tany Dhito now.

"Mom and Dad really don't matter. It's just, is now a good time, son? The earth is still affected by a pandemic. Not good when we make a big celebration and endanger the safety of others. Though around ourselves there are also many who grieve," replied Mr. Hardi.

That is the opinion of Mr. Hardi. It is not very nice to make a big party, when many relatives or neighbors have to separate from their loved ones for good. Very not good, when in the middle of high levels of exposure to covid, and they will hold a celebration. Therefore, Mr. Hardi said so.

"What your father said is true, Dhito. The condition has not completely improved either. Don't you wait for the pandemic to end?" ask Miss Lastri.

"Look at Father and Mother. No need to throw a big party. Importantly, we can both hold a contract and be accompanied by parents. That's more than enough. Isn't the essence of a marriage a contract? So, it is better to pledge Akad in the Office of Religious Affairs only," replied Dhito.

Dhito conveyed all of that carefully and slowly. Instead of throwing a big party and inviting a lot of people who can trigger a new cluster of covid deployments, it is better to pledge a contract. For Dhito, the essence of marriage is on the agenda. Akad is not just a promise, but a pledge that unites two different people to unite and foster a household.

"You sure? Don't want a reception?" ask Mr. Hardi.

With so much steadiness, Dhito nodded his head. Now all that matters to Dhito is to make a whole and heartfelt pledge to Dhita. Even just in the Office of Religious Affairs alone is not a problem.

"No problem, Father. Dhito is sure," he replied.

"Ardhita objected not if it was just a deal?" ask Mr. Hardi again.

That question was because Mr. Hardi wanted to make sure that Ardhita also agreed with Dhito. Not just the will of one of the parties. If both parties agree it tastes much better.

"So Dhito spoke to Ardhita and he agreed" Dhito replied.

As a young man, he had conveyed his heart's intentions first to his Father and Mother. How not to go ahead, but Dhito tried to talk and ask his parents. Because, however, his parents will marry him to his chosen lover later.
