"what's wrong with Naj ? Want to put where the mummy face if the mummy friends know the boys pride mummy caught wet. With a woman like that man like her too."
Mrs Habibah cried sobbing on the bench outside the religious court. Unexpectedly, the child who was always praised as high as the sky in front of his female group friends had now smeared charcoal on his face.
Najwan just silenced himself while looking down at the floor. His mummy talk just passed by the edge of his ear like a windstorm blowing. His eyes that were covered in sunglasses occasionally glanced at Syaza who was sitting on a bench 5 meters away from him. His heart poked furiously at the thought of the events that happened a few days ago. The help he extended to the girl apparently ensnared her in a matter that felt hard to bear. If his friends knew he was in this court not because he was defending the case but he himself was facing the charges, how shameful. It's sure to come out the story of their fellow hot controversy 'a handsome lawyer caught red-handed with a tomboy girl'.
Finally, after the trial was over, they were found guilty of sitting alone in a house in a state that could cause prejudice and fines.
*Some days later...
Shazacoba melted his eyes. It had been three days that he had taken a leave of absence due to the bitter event. His ears were almost dislodged due to being scolded by umi. His explanation of the actual story was not accepted by Umi.
"Umi, Jaja is innocent ! Why is it that Umi doesn't believe your son's story ?" He complained to himself.
"If you're already itching to mate, just say frankly ! Umi can marry. Don't bring a man into the house. Shame your parents' faces only !"
The heat of the heart still does not subside even though the case has been resolved. Almost a week after that Abah and Umi took him together to the house of the Najwan family. There were few things to settle, obviously when Syaza asked their reasons for going to the man's family home.
"I am even just his stepfather, but the shame is too great, the impact on me too."
"Can't you explain what you really want to come to my house, no need to convolve !"
Shaza only lowered his face when he heard the oral war that occurred between Abah and the father of Najwan. He did not dare to raise his face to look at all that was there. His heart was still wondering why Abah and Umi came to the joglo house. Time to talk about this embarrassing thing.
"All right ! I won't talk at length anymore. My wife and I have spoken, we want Najwan to take responsibility for our son. They both have to get married."
Najwan felt like he got an electric shock when he heard the words of the stepfather of Syaza.
(Have ? With this tomboyish syaza ? Oh God ! Why is this disaster happening to me?) He groaned in his heart.
Syaza pinched his hand for Bu proving that he did not dream spookily at the time.
(I was forced to marry Naj ? Oh God ! Please help this servant. Let none of this happen,) his heart also groaned.
"Amboi, come to our house, now want to force our child to marry your child ! Or maybe your family has something to do with all these events ? When you and your family know that Najwan is the son of a rich man, your family plans to trap him. After that force her to marry your son who is like this man." The voice of Mrs Habibah who was loud surprised all those in the living room.
Hajah Hawa looked upset at the woman dressed in thick clothes like the Chinese Opera player sitting opposite her.
(Look at once he accused us. He thought we were thirsty for his treasure?) His heart grumbled furiously.
"Mrs Habibah, our family is not interested in your property, but we are more concerned with the dignity and worth of our daughter. Najwan, uncle wants you to marry Syaza too !"
"Shaza, err..." Najwan wanted to say something but Islam Shaza turned off his words. He looked at the girl who was crying while holding his umi hand.
"Bah, Jaja does not want to marry him. We're not in gear. We did nothing in that Jaja apartment ! Please don't make Jaja like this. Umi's... Please Jaja, umi !"
"Our decision is round, Jaja ! You must marry Najwan immediately."
"Naj, mummies don't like girls like this guy being mummy's daughter-in-law. Naj do not be afraid of their insistence. Mummy's gonna help Naj."
(Oh, the weight of my problem ! Mummy doesn't like me marrying Syaza. The Syaza family asked me to marry him. I'm not ready to get married either, especially with this Shaza I don't love. Syaza is like me. How is this ?) Najwan scooped his face with his palm. He did not expect that he would be faced with such a severe problem in his life.
"Alright, aunt... I agreed to marry Syaza but I wanted to make a deal before we got married," Najwan spoke of pouring out a plan that suddenly came to his mind. She felt mummy and daddy looking at her with a surprised look.
"What ? To get married you want to make a deal. You don't have a heart."
"Oii, Mr Hamzah ! My son wants to marry your son is good enough ! You should be grateful ! Just follow that he said, don't protest too much."
"Syaz, I'll call you when I've prepared the terms of the agreement and one more thing, you'll have to find a witness for your side."
Najwan's words were ringing in his ears.
(Am I cruel until Najwan is able to marry me befriend the agreement. And if he doesn't want us to get married why doesn't he try to oppose him ? Why are you suddenly so cruel, Naj?) Syaza scratched his tears flowing down his cheeks.
"You don't have to cry like that. Next time you want to do anything think about the good. Rice has become porridge to cry until swollen eyes. We women need to take good care of ourselves. If no one wants to."
His ummah talk further adds to the pain he incited. It's a shame his fate is now. Already last week he was arrested wet with Najwan, now forced to marry the man.
That night Shaza spoke to Anita in her room after a week of ostracism. His friend just kept silent to hear all the overflows from his mouth.
"Nita, I didn't expect this to be such a long time ago that the problem happened to me and Najwan. Because of one carelessness, everything's ruined."
"Patience, Syaz... All this is God's destiny. So, what's your problem with Najwan ? Is it all done ?"
"What's finished, the more runyam actually yes !"
"What do you mean ? I don't understand."
Syaza recounts all the events that occurred at Najwan's house this evening to the letter of his marriage agreement with Najwan.
Anita gawked at hearing it. He did not expect until the complexity of his best friend's problem.
"So you want me to be a witness when you sign the letter later ? Have you thought carefully about all this ? None of this makes any sense at all."
"I had to, Nita.... For the sake of preserving the dignity of the people I love."
"Syaz, I heard the rumors of the residents in this apartment say, he actually complained to the religious department to arrest the Zita, but the employee was wrong house, it turns out," obviously Anita while laying herself down.
"And, it just so happened that I was with Najwan alone in this house. Indeed it is the fate of the body," Syaza added in a sayu tone.
"After that, I'm in my room first."
