My Little Wife Fatimah's
6. Toughest decision

That night I gathered family members in the living room because there was something important to talk about.

"Dad gathered you here because there is something very important" said Dad seriously.

Rahman, Sarah, Fatimah and Mother looked at the Father who spoke.

"Fatimah..," call Dad to his daughter.

"Well, what's the matter, Dad,?" Fatimah curious.

"Dad will marry Rahman to you son, considering you are our dear daughter, we do not want just any man to ask you," said Father slowly staring at Fatimah.

Fatimah was shocked by her father's words. "What's? the marriage? dad joked yes, I may be married to Rahman, besides I still want to continue college, even if I have to get married why it should be with Rahman," said Fatimah who is still confused.

"Fatimah, actually the mother kept this a secret from you, the mother and the deceased mother of your birth once promised to marry our sons, mothers and biological mothers you were good friends when you were young, anyway what's wrong son," mother persuaded Fatimah.

Rahman simply bowed and did not dare to look at Fatimah.

"Fatimah, what's wrong with filial piety to both parents, let's just say this is a form of your devotion to father and mother," Sarah persuaded staring Fatimah.

Fatimah who was still in shock with her parents' orders left the living room.he was aloof and mused in the room.

" O God, what kind of commandment is this, why should I marry my own brother, I know I should be filial, but this is not the way, really I love Fatih, we already have the commitment, we have the commitment, how could I possibly treat my sister as a husband, I can't get through this" the inner Fatimah who was crying in the room.

The next day Fatimah went to a cafe and told her brother Rahman to come there. Fatimah intended to ask Rahman to speak kindly to father and mother.

"What is Fatimah, why do we have to talk in this place, can be at home" Rahman began the conversation.

"I just want to talk to my sister, I want my sister to talk to my father and mother so that this wedding plan is canceled, my sister would not want to be married to me, either, however we are brothers, even though I am a child," said Fatimah softly but sharply.

"I cannot Fatimah, what makes you refuse to marry me, Fatimah I will be what you want me to be, as long as you want to be my wife" Rahman said seriously.

"What's? sis...how could I be your wife, I consider you as my sister, mad brother yes, big brother just came home from Singapore, why did it suddenly become like this?" fatimah asked in a loud tone because he did not think that Rahman also wanted this marriage.

"Do you want to see your father and mother grieve?, after all this is the will of your late mother, your father and biological mother are gone Fatimah, and this is their will, would you refuse it?" ask Rahman streak.

"I have a future husband" said Fatimah slowly but sharply.

"I don't care, no man can ask you but me" Rahman said seriously.

"Why be gini, brother? why did my sister confront me in a situation I hated" Fatimah cried in front of Rahman.

"Fatimah, this is the best for us" Rahman said, staring at Fatimah.

"Best for you, not for me" Fatimah said, leaving Rahman at the cafe.

***

As Fatimah wept, praying, "O Allah, Who is the All-turning heart of man, set my heart on the right choice, help me to get guidance,"

After the Fatimah prayer was still contemplating his troubles." I had loved Fatih, I guess my love story with Fatih would be like Ali and Fatimah, who were matchmaking without courtship, I guess, likewise, I chose to wait for Fatih without a relationship, but in reality I even had to marry the man I consider my brother," Inner Fatimah.

***

Sarah understood the feeling of Fatimah when she knocked on the door of Fatimah's room after dawn.

"Fatimah.can I come in?"

"Please brother," Fatimah wiped her tears as if she did not want her brother to know the sadness of her heart.

"Fatimah.kakak understand how the mess of your mind and heart when in a match with brother Rahman, at first I also did not think this could happen, I did not think it could happen, he said, but in hindsight this is indeed a good path, and an opportunity for you to make your father and mother happy" Sarah said while stroking Fatimah's head.

"Sir, you know that I was waiting for Fatih to come to propose to me after college" said Fatimah who cried.

***

Dad brought the family members together to talk about the wedding plans.

"How about Fatimah, if you are willing this marriage will be held next Sunday," said Dad seriously.

Fatimah did not stop crying imagining the figure of Fatih was there, but for the happiness of his father and his mother he was willing to drop his happiness. he will feel guilty if he refuses because his father and mother are willing to raise him well like a biological daughter.

"Yes, Fatimah is willing to father," said Fatimah heavily, while she did not stop crying.

Rahman was so relieved by Fatimah's reply that on the one hand he could not bear to see Fatimah's sorrow.

***

That night Fatimah accidentally crossed paths with Rahman when he was about to take drinking water.

"Sister, you'll regret marrying me, I won't be able to be a good wife, I'm too young, you're much older, I'm not as good as you think," fatimah said sharply as if it was not her.

"No problem" Rahman said casually.

"Later my true nature will be seen, I am the laziest to bathe, my body odor can make humans faint," continued Fatimah seriously.

"No problem, it's good, I can still take care of you, bathe you, and make sure you always smell good" Rahman said as he poured water into his glass.

"Basar nyebelin, this is not the brother Rahman I know, the basis of flirtatious.what do not-do all this time he ..ngak, no , not possible, keep thinking positive Fatimah" fatimah was very upset with Rahman.

"Oh yeah.One more thing, brother get ready later I could have snatched all your wealth, after that I will leave you, and I will marry another man," adamant Fatimah smiled cynically.

"I don't care, because I know very well how the Fatimah I love, the Fatimah I love is equipped with religious knowledge, it is impossible to do that bad," Rahman said.
