Ba'da Maghrib; me, umi and Abah prepared for Dinda's house. Umi has brought a hand in the form of a hand and a little gift for Dinda. Although the actual Umi is still heavy with the decision I made so that several times tried to negotiate but Umi still approve as Umi said before.
Now, the car driven by Abah has entered the yard of Dinda's house. From inside the car I could see the house that had been opened half the door was set to entertain prospective besan, different from the conditions this morning when I came.
"Come on!" abah said, holding Umi's hand, while I followed behind while carrying souvenirs. "Assynnya!" abah shouted at the door.
Before long his brother Dinda, stepmother and several uncles and aunt Dinda came out to welcome us. Everyone shook hands warmly, then the three of us were welcome to enter.
"So we came here to propose to Dinda for our son Dihya." Abah conveyed the purpose and purpose of my arrival formally which was already known by om Hasan and his family. "So how?" ask Abah.
"InshaAllah we received a proposal from the nak Dihya's family for our daughter Dinda." replied Dinda's brother.
All the families welcomed the proposal with joy until finally his brother Dinda requested that the wedding be held this week as well.
Not only Abah and Umi sounded shocked, but also the Dinda Family who were present here.
"Isn't it too rushed? Everything needs readiness. Preparing everything is not easy." said his aunt Dinda from the Uminya side.
"InshaAllah does not need more preparation mbak because the plan is only to organize a contract." said his brother Dinda.
"mere only? Dinda and Dihya are both only children, they are very young. Why rush as if there is something. Don't be like that. Hold a walimahan party because we believe both the Dinda and Dihya families are also materially capable. Do you not love because marrying a child once in a lifetime is not even a party, right. Moreover, the walimahan event can also avoid slander in case there are prejudiced bad later. Thought their marriage was fast because something happened that was not-no" said his aunt Dinda again
Umi also opened the sound. Agree with what his aunt Dinda said. Even umi dare to put up a body. If her father Dinda does not want to join the dues for the party, Umi is ready to bear everything.
Unfortunately, his brother Dinda insisted on his decision. Dinda should get married this week too. If we remain objected then welcome to cancel everything.
"What a shame!" umi was hooked too. "Mas Hasan this is why, Dinda is the only relic of Fifi. It was hard time for him. Even his rights do not give. It's hard to wait for a month. We promise we won't trouble you, we'll take care of everything. Costs included. You just have to come and give your blessing to our children. As his Aunt Dinda said, let not the holy marriage of our children become a source of slander for the people!" Umi firmly.
"And we have said, if the men do not want it is okay. From the beginning we did not want to be damning. If you're not ready, you can still back off. We've done this all thought out. After all, we have resigned for a week to Dihya istikharah." replied Dinda's brother.
"Astagfirefull!" umi got up from her seat, emotionless with her brother Dinda's attitude. Even a week counts. Even though it was a month back, it was not too long. "What is this really? Why are you impressed to rush to marry Dinda as if he wants her to immediately leave this house. What the hell is going on?" ask umi. Abah had tried to hold the hand of Umi as a signal to keep the umi silent, but because the emotions had peaked, umi who usually obeyed Abah finally inflamed as well, out of control to ignore Abah.
"Yes Allah ..." said Umi and her aunt Dinda.
"So how's Dihya?" abah asked me to avoid a prolonged debate.
All eyes are on me now. By saying Istighfar three times, then reading basmalah I decided to continue with this proposal. I agree with Dinda's brother's terms for the wedding to take place next week.
"Yes Rabb," umi nodded her head. And so did Dinda's other aunts. They look disappointed because they can't make a party for Dinda.
The deal was re-made. The marriage contract will be held at his brother's cottage Dinda. A simple event that will only be attended by large families and cottage parties. Ba'da Friday is next week.
For the dowry, his brother Dinda handed it to me and Dinda to make a deal.
When it was over, the three of us went home. While shaking hands, his uncles Dinda hugged me tightly as if conveying their sorrow. Some even shed tears.
Until I left her house, Dinda was nowhere to be seen. I don't know where the girl who usually always smiled cheerfully was. What is felt at this time after listening to this long debate. Whatever it is, I can only promise inwardly that I will replace her father very well to look after her. Inshallah.
"Umi was completely inexhaustible, Dinda's brother was now exactly like stepbrother. Treating his son so cruelly like that!" said umi. Nagging along the way.
"Where there is cruel, mi" said Abah. Everyone has a different way of educating their children. Hasan has lost a partner in taking care of Dinda, naturally he is a bit careless. We should understand not even vilify. Poor thing. Especially soon he'll be our boss."
"Pity? who is compassionate? The only one to be pitied in the family is only Dinda!" Umi firmly.
"Mi, even if there is no umi will be gamang, mi." explained Abah.
"Then will Abah also sacrifice our child?" reply umi.
"Yes that's not it," Abah shook his head, no longer knowing what to answer because Umi still did not want to lose. Continue to fight for his opinion on arranged marriages that are considered impromptu. Whatever it is, I don't care. The important thing is Dinda. If indeed in the family environment is already uncomfortable as before it is better to take him away even though this ship is not full.
