We've Been Matchmade
Permit to Move Ngontrak


This dinner was a bit different because after I finished I had to ask my parents for permission that we would move to the contract. Indeed the place is not yet certain where, but Dinda urged that I permission from now on so that later when the beginning of the month does not need to be pushed back again on the grounds of too impromptu permission. It seems like Dinda's desire to move has been round, when I see in this house he and umi are ordinary, there has never been a conflict even though it is actually better that the household misah.


"Mi ... Sump. Dihya wants to talk for a second, okay?" I said, after everything was done eating and the two special women in my life began to clean the dining table. Umi who heard straight back to the seat, while Dinda continued her work.


"Why?" ask umi.


"MMM, Dihya wants permission from both Umi and Abah. InshaAllah at the beginning of Dihya and Dinda want to move." I said.


"Moved?" as I thought, umi immediately reacted in disagreement. Ask why you should move everything? What's wrong with living here? This house is too big if only filled by Abah and Umi. The woman who gave birth to me objected to our plan, she wanted us to stay with her. Even Umi to apologize if there is an attitude that makes us especially Dinda feel uncomfortable. Hearing that it was Dinda's turn to be hesitant, he swore that Umi was a pleasant in-law. The plan to move has nothing to do with comfort. While Abah just casually heard the chat of the three of us. "Yes already, if it is comfortable here anyway." pinta Umi who immediately persuaded Dinda because it seems like Umi believes that if he can hold Dinda then the move problem is finished.


"Umi and Abah were married and decided to move house. Separate from the residence of each parent because it is better that each household. Dihya and Dinda want to learn independently. Learn to understand each other. Facing all the problems only two so that later we can grow up and be strong if I have been given the sustenance of offspring." I said, trying to explain as mature as possible.


"Yes, Umi's parents and Abah have other children. While we only have you. If you move then who's with us?" wjaha umi immediately expressed sadness, actually I did not have the heart but had to be tough for the sake of our household. "So don't move on Dihya, Dinda. Umi promise you will never interfere in your household affairs. Umi also will not disturb you let alone disturb you. Indeed for a few days umi bother you guys? Are you uncomfortable with Umi and Abah? I'm sorry, umi and Abah are old, if anything is wrongly told, we never meant to hurt you. Really!" now the cry of umi broke. My defense immediately collapsed. How could I see Umi like this. Dinda was the same, he immediately looked down unwell, even his eyes were glazed.


"Hmmm," Abah cleared her throat. "Mi, don't be like that. Poor kids. They're not uncomfortable with us, they're learning. We should support Dihya and Dinda, mi. It was true what Dihya said. They have to start self-study, putting things together. Relying on each other, not others because the household they build is their household. The learning must start from now, if they are pushed back to the hunt they have children. Mentally they must be trained strong so that when our grandchildren are born they are strong. In part why it must be sad like a child wants to go forever or want to go to war far away. Lha Dihya and Dinda just want to move near here. They will come as often as possible, we can also swipe at them whenever they want. So don't be troubled. I should be proud, children and daughters-in-law umi can think of adults like this. So don't cry out." Said Abah who was trying to mediate as we started to get overwhelmed.


"But the Umi who was not ready to be left went Dihya. Our son is one, umi can't." Umi's still crying.


"Mi, Dihya will play here often. Umi won't lose Dihya. Ampai whenever Dihya his son umi. He will also call us often. Yes that's how life is, children as much as anything will not be with us forever. One day they will go one by one. Moreover, this is only one. That is proof that they are God's only care for us. Tucked away for a moment, you have determined your own path." said Abah again.


Hearing Abah's advice, not only Umi cries. But me and Dinda. This short life, from childhood to adulthood we are cared for by parents, then there will be a time when we go to start a new life. So next, we will be abandoned by our children who will start their new lives.


"Well," Umi was back sulking. "Change don't say that. I don't feel sorry for Umi. Umi also did not want Dihya and Dinda not strong household. Umi was just sad to be left behind."


"I told you, kids will play here often." Obviously Abah.


"Really?" Umi looks at. "Promise you know, you have to play here often. If the phone should also be lifted. There can't be many reasons. Umi doesn't want to know!"


"InshaAllah mi" I said.


"Yes already then. When's moving?" Ask umi.


"God Insha earlier this month, mi. It's still a matching nyari." Reply again.


"A fast. But yes, it's the best you think." said Umi.


"Thank you, I've allowed us. Doain Dihya and Dinda always yes mi." My love, holding tightly the hand of the first woman I loved. Umi just nodded.


"Umi don't be sad, there is Abah who always accompanies umi. InshaAllah we live as a heavenly yes mi." Abah started to crunch. "Somehow, we'll both be like newlyweds again, mi. Where are the two. Why both. How romantic for me." Cetus Abah who tried to persuade the earth, but who was persuaded even manyun. Not caring about the guyonan Abah because he said his heart is still sad.
