Memories of Dusk
Parental Permit

That night passed so quickly, my heart was still overjoyed and did not expect that Satya and I had loved each other all this time. All was present unexpectedly, the feelings that were lodged in my heart all this time were no longer in vain. Satya and I decided to get married in 3 months. We have to prepare everything carefully.

Today Satya invited me to meet her father. Although Satya's father and I met often at the office, his father still considered us just friends.

At 9 am Satya arrived at my house to pick me up.

"A ready? Let's go" Satya asked me.

"Emm already... Satyaaaa," I said slowly to Satya.

"What's Sonya?" satya asked in a soft voice.

"I am afraid.." I said with a troubled face.

"Why should I be afraid anyway. Papa I don't eat kog humans," said Satya who joked.

"Ihh not gituuu, if papa you don't agree you marry me, how?" ask me with a face full of anxiety.

"He must have agreed Son.. He likes you so much, come on, let's go." take Satya by pulling my hand.

I tried to calm down and not feel afraid to meet Satya's father. The journey to Satya's house ranged from 20 minutes and now we have arrived in front of his house. Satya pulled my hand to go inside.

"Paa, papaa,,," called Satya who was slightly shouting.

"What's up Satya? why do you have to shout like that." said Mr. Satrio.

"There is something Satya wants to convey to papa" Satya said seriously.

"What's that?" ask Satrio to Satya.

"Sonya's here" said Satya, who asked me to enter her house.

"Loh Sonya, are you here? Why not go in? Come here son," said Mr. Satrio who welcomed me so well.

"I'm sorry sir I'm reluctant to go in" I told Mr. Satrio.

"You don't have to hesitate like that, just consider it your own home" said Mr. Satrio.

"So gini pa, me and Sonya we want to get married." said Satya.

"Haah? papa didn't hear wrong, did he?" said Mr. Satrio who was surprised to hear the news.

"Yes pa, this is all right, me and Sonya are getting married. I asked permission from papa ya.." said Satya slowly to Mr. Satrio.

"really? papa does not believe, this is very happy news, papa must bless you." said Mr. Satrio with a happy face.

"Papa's serious about blessing us?" ask Satya again.

"Yes seriouslysss." replied Mr. Satrio.

"There are many pa, thank you very much" said Satya who langung hugged Pak Satrio because happy.

"Thank you very much sir has blessed both of us" I said with a smile.

"Yes Sonya, I'm so happy to hear this news. I hope everything goes well until your wedding day, yes" said Mr. Satrio.

"Aamiin.." I said simultaneously with Satya.

"Well, if you're married, Sonya doesn't have to work anymore. Let him focus on taking care of the house" said Mr. Satrio.

"Iya pa Satya has also planned like that" said Satya.

"Eemm sir, we're both saying yes. Want to go to my mother and father's house to talk about this, too" I told Mr. Satrio.

"Then, be careful" said Mr. Satrio.

Satya and I touched Satrio's hand and went out of the house.

"Let's go in" Satya said as she opened the car door for me.

Satya gets into the car. And he started driving slowly.

"Well, now we just have to ask for the blessing of your father and mother. And determine the date and month of our wedding," said Satya.

"Yes, let's discuss it with mom and dad" I replied.

"What about Liana and Aldi's wedding?" satya asked me.

"Next week they get married, a while we come yes." said I who invited Satya to attend the wedding of Liana and Aldi.

"Yes we must have come" Satya replied to me.

The journey from Satya's house to my house is about 20 minutes. We did meet Satya's parents on purpose only after that my parents. I invited Satya to go into the house and meet my father and mother.

"Assalamualaikum father, mother." I said as I entered the house.

"Waalaikumsalam, Sonya, where are you Satya?" ask mom both of us.

"From Satya's house, ma'am" I replied to my mother.

"Well tumben you went to Satya's house, what's Son's business?" ask the curious father

"Gini sir, my mom wants to propose to Sonya, so I brought Sonya to see my dad." said Satya.

"You want to get married?" said the surprised father heard him.

"When have you guys been planning to marry Satya, Sonya?" the mother was also confused by our decision.

"Emmm since yesterday, ma'am," I replied nervously.

"To your father's knowledge there was never a special relationship" he told us.

"We never had a special relationship, sir, but we have the same feeling" Satya said.

"Dad, Sonya's mother and Satya asked your permission to knit our relationship more seriously, we do not want to date again father, mother, mother, because we've been friends for 2 years and that's enough for us to get to know each other." I said clearly.

"Dad, this mother has blessed you, son. Because according to your father it is suitable," said father.

"Yes, it's just that we think you're just friends. Dad and mom are happy even if you decide to get married." continued mom.

"Thank you, sir, Izini, both of us are good intentions!, Satya told father.

"Satya Iya. So when are you going to have this wedding?" ask dad.

"3 more months sir, because we have to prepare everything carefully" said Satya.

"Yes well, we need to prepare for this so we decide in 3 months we will have this wedding." I said .

"Date have you set?" ask mom both of us.

"It's mom, it's just that we want to ask for your opinion as well." replied Satya.

"What date are you going to have this wedding?" ask dad again.

"March 7th, sir, coincides with Sonya's birthday" Satya replied.

"That's a good date. I agree if you guys take that date to get married. Father and mother pray yes what you plan this smoothly until the day" said father.

"Mother wishes you could live happily later" continued the mother.

"Thank you father, mother for your prayers. I'm so happy to have parents like you" I said, hugging my father and mother.

"We're happy to see you happy, son" my father told me.

"Thank you, sir, mother. I promise I will always make Sonya happy in her life" Satya said with a smile.

We have got permission to knit our love in a marriage relationship. For us dating is not too necessary, because just making friends is enough for us to know each other without having to date.
