The Love of Nava
Denial of Nava

Nava who had just entered the house was somewhat surprised to see his parents sitting in the living room.

"Assalamualaikum, Ma Pa, tumben sitting here. Nungguin Nava came home yes" said Nava while sitting next to his mother.

"Greetings, yes we are waiting for you. How did he teach today? Smoothly?" Answer Nava's mother

"Alhamdulillah smoothly kok Ma. tumben mama papa waitin Nava home. What's wrong, huh?" Nava asked curiously

"So gini son, there is good news that we want to tell you. You heard first what papa would say to you." Answer Nava's mother.

For some reason Nava's feelings suddenly did not go wrong, he felt uneasy with what his parents would say.

"What the hell is Ma Pa? How I got scared." Nava said again

"Gini son, so the time of the Thanksgiving event yesterday at the grandmother's house, you see no ustad who brought a lecture at that time?" Ask Nava's father to open the conversation.

"Hmmm who brought that lecture? Nava look really, if it's not wrong Nava was shaking hands with him when he wanted to go back Pa. Why is he?" Ask Nava

"Oh that is, so the name of the ustad is justad Yusuf son. He's Pak Rahmat's son, papa ever talk to you about the family of Mr Grace?" Ask Nava's Dad

"Hmmmm, Nava forgot which one. What the hell is it? Just be curious." Nava

"So yesterday afternoon Mr. Grace came to the house, he continued to convey their good intentions to papa son." Nava's Father said

"What good intentions does Pa mean?" Tanya Nava was astonished

"Ustad Yusuf at my grandmother's house, said he watched you son. He's happy to see you. And after coming home from grandma's house she conveyed her heart's intention to propose you to her parents son." Obviously Nava's father

Nava's heart seemed to stop beating hearing what her father had just said. Nava seemed unable to speak, he was silent, unable to respond to his father's explanation.

Nava's mother, who saw her son fixated, seemed to understand that she was not ready for what she had just heard. His mother approached Nava and grabbed him by the shoulder, saying

"This goodwill is just what we tell you. To accept or reject this proposal, we will also ask for your opinion. Because you will have this relationship later. You just have to think carefully about the decision you will make. We'll accept whatever it is that you decide."

Nava, who heard her mother's words, was able to make herself calmer. It felt like he had rejected the man's proposal right then and there. But he tried to stay calm in front of his parents.

"Hmmm good Ma Pa, give Nava time to think yes. Nava actually did not think that the ostad suddenly wanted to propose. Nava was confused what to say." Answer Nava

"What your mother said is true, son, think carefully about your decision. This is for your future. But at least you should know that Joseph's ustad is a good son and sholeh, his family is also good people. Yusuf is a graduate of a well-known pesantren also in the city of Silk. So wise to make a decision later." Obviously Nava's father

"Well Pa, if that's Nava enter the room first well, want to rest first." Nava left her parents and rushed into her room.

Doni who was lying in his boarding house, immediately woke up and looked for his cellphone that was ringing. He immediately received a phone call when he saw Nava's name on it.

"Yes hello dear" said Doni opening the conversation

"Yeah, what are you doing? You busy aren't you?" Ask Nava

"No, baby, what's wrong? how do you feel that way?" answer Doni

"Hmmm I want to say something to you, I'm confused." Answer Nava listlessly

"What the hell is that, baby? why aren't you excited? Any issues?" Ask Doni curiously

"So the house turns out my parents are waiting for me, you know what they say? There's a man proposing to me" said Nava

"Applying? who loves you all of a sudden?" Ask Doni again

"I also don't know the guy, just the time of the Thanksgiving event yesterday, the guy who brought the lecture continues he said he saw me, and finally asked his family to come to the house to propose to me." Obviously Nava

Doni was silent at what his lover had said. He was afraid that Nava's parents would accept the proposal. What about their relationship? On the other hand Doni was not able to come to meet both parents Nava to propose to his lover. Although in Doni's heart there is a belief that the proposal will not be accepted but still there is a sense of worry and fear about his lover.

"Hello baby, you heard me, right?" Nava asked again because he did not get a response from Doni.

"I-iya dear I heard, how now? Your parents want to accept that proposal? So we go on, baby?" Ask Doni

"So my mother had told me, if the decision will still hear my opinion as well. Actually, I just wanted to refuse, but I don't know what reason to give." Obviously Nava

"Hmmm sorry well baby, I should have come to the house and met your parents, but I haven't been able to get close. But you should know that I'm serious about you, I love you and I want to marry you." Obviously Doni

"Yes I understand, I'm just confused about what reason to tell my parents to reject the proposal dear." Nava said again.

Doni and Nava seemed to be together thinking what words were reasonable as an excuse to reject the proposal.

"What if I talk to my mom if I want to focus on my career first, I'm still young anyway. And I certainly don't know that guy, I don't know his character, his nature. Makes sense, right, baby?" Ask Nava.

"Hmmm makes sense too baby. Tell me about it with your parents." Answer Don

"OK tomorrow I'll try to talk to mama, yes baby, you rest. It's also night."

Nava ended his phone call. Nava is confident that the reasons he will convey tomorrow will be accepted by his parents. Nava who had been tired of his activities today immediately broke his body and soon he fell asleep in his sleep.

Will Nava's parents accept Nava's refusal?
