30 Days of Pick Up a Mate
First Kiss

"Mother doesn't want you to marry Kina.Ti.tik!"

"But I love Kina Mother" the Queen Mother glared, she was shocked to hear her son's confession.

"But Mommy doesn't want to have a daughter-in-law like Kina, she's sneaky" her tone began to rise.

Okky sighed rudely, "Squeak from where the hell Bun, indeed he did what until Mother said so"

"Mother doesn't like it, just doesn't like it. Erika is much better than your secretary"

Okky knelt in front of her seated mother, clasping her hands together. "Bun, please allow Okky to determine Okky's life, just this time. I beg you.." pinta Okky gently, trying to melt the heart of her mother who is as hard as steel.

"No!" snapped and then looked away.

Okky put her forehead on the Queen Mother's lap. "Pliss.Mother, all this time Okky has given this life to Mother, just once Mother. Let me choose my own life partner. Erika is good, Kina is good too. But I love Kina, not Erika" she asked with all her heart.

"Mother doesn't want to, anyway you have to marry Erika. Do not make the struggle Mother in vain. Mother wants the best for your children, for your happiness too"

"Did you ever ask, am I happy or not?" asked with a trembling voice, the Queen Mother was silent, unwilling to look at her son's face.

Okta was already in tears, from the second floor, she saw her brother pleading for something that should be his right to determine. From the beginning, she already knew her brother loved Kina, only that Okky didn't notice it.

Okky is powerful, rich in treasure, but he's not an ungodly child. Without the blessing of Mother, he would not dare to step. For her, the blessing of God's mother, then the wrath of God's mother also. Now he seems to stand at a crossroads, there is a right Kina and left there is a mother with erika. If he chooses right, then you will get hurt. If he chooses to the left, he will get hurt.

……

...And that it is He who makes people laugh and cry...

...Surah An-najm verse 43...

Crying, he wanted to do it. Not that he is weak, only that he is human, endowed with feelings by the creator. And, that's just doing it, on the prayer mat.

Okky felt despicable, when she was happy, she seemed to forget her God. But when he was in trouble he came to his Lord. Indeed, Allah is longing for him.

Staring at the dark night sky, Okky lamented his fate. The problem of the chaotic company has not been resolved, now he must add to the burden of mind by forcing Mother to marry a woman he does not love.

A pat on the boat, waking him from the reverie. Ammar smiled and sat down beside him.

"I've heard all of Okta's. Did Okky convey good intentions to Kina?"

Okky shook his head weakly, "No time yet. You know, we've been preoccupied with the problems at the factory for the past few weeks. The company is really fucked up" he lamented

"How about Okky tell Kina first, and then we have a family meeting to discuss this issue. Okta and I will help you talk to Mother"

"Is that so? but I was afraid of being rejected" Okky looked down, staring at the grass below.

"Make all the same above"

"OK.tomorrow I will convey my good intentions to Kina"

"Oh my spirit, we support you" said Ammar, encouraging his brother-in-law. Okky was happy, because there were people supporting her.

……

Kina smiled welcoming Okky's arrival. Okky was silent, just staring at Kina's face, long ago. He was gathering strength, to face his destiny.

"Good sir"

They sat side by side on the long sofa. Kina who does not understand the situation, feels tense, she is afraid of bad things happening to the company. Okky turned her body, facing Kina, grabbing Kina's hand gently. Kina did not dare to turn her head, only glancing slightly through the tail of her eyes.

"Ki...are you ready to get married?"

"Eee...why do you ask questions like that?" asked Kina nervously.

Okky took a deep breath, her heart racing. "Would you not marry me?" ask with a serious face.

Kina frowned, "Pak Okky don't joke, joking about marriage with a woman is not polite you know sir" Kina said a little annoyed.

She's afraid Okky's just playing games to get her married. However, Kina was just an ordinary woman, she realized that she was not worthy enough to accompany the perfect Okky in her eyes. Their social status is also very different.

"Did my face look like I was joking?" tanya Okky was also annoyed by Kina's annoyance.

"ehem.no sir, sorry, I'm just too surprised. I'm sorry" he said softly, feeling guilty.

"Then, what's your answer?"

"Did the Queen Mother know about this? What about the beautiful lady from yesterday?"

"I told you, I don't like him. Especially after chatting, we really live in a different world"

"Sorry sir, I don't know what to say. As I said before, I will not give my love to any man, before there is a lawful relationship. Mr. Okky well, I'm happy now you start diligently worshiping. I am also not a sholeha woman, I still have doubts, but I want to emigrate with my halal partner. I will consider your good intentions, on one condition"

"What's the condition?"

"Suri's mother already knew this, and she approved of what you were planning"

Okky lowered his head, his hands crept into Kina's hand which was not separated from his grasp. Inhaling a lot of oxygen, until here he could already guess what would happen. Kina patted Okky's shoulder gently, smiling as the man looked at her.

"Don't worry, God will give us what we need, not what we want"

"My whole life, never having loved anyone but my family, it turned out to be this painful" Okky laughed insipidly, laughing at himself.

Okky twisted Kina's body, in order to face her. Then pressed her palm against Kina's lips, looking at the girl's eyes full of love. Kina looked back at him, her face looking confused.

"I love you, no matter what happens, I'll still love you" Okky kissed her still-attached hand on Kina's lips, until their foreheads and noses touched. Kina rounded her eyes, rubbing them repeatedly. His heart was beating faster than usual.

After quite a while, Okky rewinded her face and pulled her hand from Kina's lips. He dropped his forehead on Kina's left shoulder, his left hand still holding Kina's left hand.

Her shoulders trembled, Kina felt something wet dripping down her hands. Yeah, his boss was crying on his shoulder. Kina patted the sturdy shoulder pat, where many people were leaning. Ibu Suri, Okta and all PT employees. Nice Food, including himself. Now the shoulder is fragile.

Kina's heart ached to see a person who is usually strong in any condition, suddenly weak because of him. Really, there was no intention of harming the good man. Precisely Kina does not want to be selfish, accepting Okky's proposal will only make Okky and her mother's relationship messy.

"I'm sorry sir, let's talk this out with Suri's mother. It was all my fault, I who made him angry and hated me" he said gently, his hand still patting Okky on the shoulder.

Brakkk…!!!

The door of the main director's room was pushed violently. Okky and Kina were surprised to see who came with that extinguished red face.
