I then sat down in the guest chair, next to papa, but my hand was still
asik holding a mobile phone, because there is still discussion about the expansion of the cafe
the wa group. Mr. Sukarta seemed a little shaken by my behavior, and
then he smiled. Maybe I'm thinking of something.
So what is important about Mr Sukarta?
What's the connection to my marriage?
Am I going to marry Sukarta?
Just be right. What age am I married to an old man of the same age
with my Papa.
But another consciousness entered my mind. It is not Mr. Sukarta who will
marrying me. It cannot be him. But son. Yes, his son was right.
At that moment I remember Papa saying.
“Tasya, as promised by Papa and Pak Sukarta in college, we promise
will marry our – children to strengthen our friendship. Because
sir Sukarta's son is only 1 and his son – boys, then Papa plans to marry
his son is with you. You agree, right?” ask Papa at that time.
Papa has long known Mr. Sukarta's son – boy. But Papa doesn't
I had the initiative to talk about my marriage. Papa is trying to
didn't discuss the matchmaking every time I heard Mama ask on one occasion,
because he knows my free nature. Papa was sure I would be very resistant
with matchmaking. Therefore, Papa is not often in contact with Mr. Sukarta,
so that the Matrimonial problem is lost in time. But finally Mr. Sukarta
I immediately found Papa. Papa can only pray in his heart, for all that happens,
it can happen well. Because it's about family and friendship.
“Ooo, okay Pa.. Tasya agrees whatever Papa says,” I replied when
that's. I swear I was not aware of my words. I thought at that time, Papa would
telling me about business, and right then and there, I was busy
reply to messages on my phone. Finally, speak from my spontaneous mouth as
Papa was also surprised by my answer. He felt that I would go straight
lured to answer no, because it was a matter of my matchmaking, but
then Papa just thinks of me, the kind-hearted child, who understands
the feeling of his parents, to keep his Papa's self-esteem in front of his friend.
Papa didn't plan to ask me again over the matter.
Papa smiled at Mr. Sukarta. Mr. Sukarta was also happy because
i agreed. Smile expands from Mr. Sukarta's face. His arrival
today, means not wasted – in vain. He finally fulfilled his promise, and
ready to give his only child to be a daughter-in-law in the family
his friend.
“Thank you son Kayla, Om very happy. Om will make preparations
mature, and we'll see you next month, son. Oh, I was saying yes, already
kemalaman, ..” Pak Sukarta said goodbye to go home. Distance between J and M
pretty far. Using a car alone, it can take about 4 - 5 hours.
Even if there are no obstacles with traffic lights.
“Good Sir, heart – hearts on the road,” sahutku while taking the hand of sir
Sukarta. Then I kissed Mr. Sukarta's hand, like a child asking for a blessing
from the old man.
Papa and Pak Sukarta of course
surprised by my reaction. They looked at each other for a long time and then the same
same smile. In their hearts perhaps, I have accepted Mr. Sukarta as
father-in-law, while all I do is a manners
child to an older person. Not more. But apparently, simple things
so, it raises a different definition to both parents. After Pak
Sukarta got in her car, I went straight to my room without asking again
about what Papa talked about.
