Why marry me, Gus?
chapter 16

The atmosphere of my house looks crowded and full of people. Today, both of my parents are busy preparing to welcome their special guest tonight.

Yes, who else are you special if it is not the family of the prospective father and mother, namely Ustadz Wahab. They seem enthusiastic about preparing a lot of things. Even Ma'am Musda also came here to help.

"What the hell are they overreacting?" I was upset at my parents who looked better.

Ma'am Musda also came here to help. Ma'am Musda was also very excited, just like my parents.

I have repeatedly shown objection. I don't want Ustadz Wahab's family to come visit again. I want to finish all this. But my parents don't care. They don't mind my feelings one bit.

"Arin, what are you doing at the door? Here ajakin Satria first!" mama Musda told me.

"Bak to defend here just for help?" I asked Mommy Musda.

"Yes dong, Rin. Today is a special day for you" said Musda.

What special day? I didn't get any special today. Moreover, today the Wahab Ustadz family will come to propose for real. After passing this day, I should really marry Huda.

"No need to say that, Ma'am!" irked me.

"You play with Satria there! Ma'am wants to help Mom in the kitchen" said Ms. Musda.

Mama herself is the same. Ma'am Musda can't help me. I had to run the idea from Wirda. I just need to be disrespectful, right? Although I will hang you later, the important thing is that I can cancel this proposal first.

I heard this show will be attended by many family members. Because this is a real application event, there will be a presentation and also the determination of the wedding date.

This should be the dream moment of every woman. But for me, today is just part of the catastrophe.

"Arin, what a pity your fate is!" my gerutuku pity myself.

I should have been enthusiastic about preparing a lot for this important event today. But I chose not to prepare anything. Even to prepare decent clothes, I don't want to. I just prepared some makeshift clothes.

Yeah, potluck. And there's only a shirt and cloth pants in my closet. I don't prepare any special clothes. I'm just gonna put on a shirt. My mother actually forced me to prepare the hijab and wear it later, but I didn't want to. I'll wear the clothes I like. I will not obey my mother's wishes to make a good impression on Ustadz Wahab's family.

Anyway, today I'm going to mess up the proposal. Today, I will make the Wahab Ustadz family who will not see me again.

At last night came, and the Wahab family began to arrive. Not only the family came, but some students also attended. My house is crowded with many people.

"Rin, hunt out! Be prepared for a long time!" my mother scolded me as she knocked on my door in a hurry.

"Shortly, Mom! Arin is coming out!" I told my mother.

Actually I've been ready since. There was nothing I had to prepare for either. I'm just gonna go out wearing a T-shirt.

"You ready, Rin? Maybe soon you will be battered in the same beat Father Mother. But after this, you won't see Huda again. Your sacrifice will not be in vain!" my murmurs encouraged myself.

Actually I was still a bit hesitant and afraid to be disrespectful during the application event. But I need to be quick to take this step.

I came out with an appearance that was judged inappropriate enough. I did not wear the hijab as requested by my mother, and I also appeared wearing only the clothes as they were.

My mother immediately glared at me as soon as she saw my performance in front of Ustadz Wahab and family. My father was no less surprised when he saw my behavior.

Not only did I show an inappropriate appearance, I also started throwing tantrums by showing an unworthy attitude. I sit up and lift my legs up on the chair. I did not even greet Ustadz Wahab and the family properly.

"S-please taste the dishes!" my father said to distract the Ustadz Wahab family who were looking at me at this time.

"Wheel! Get off your feet!" whispered my father glaring at me.

I just kept quiet and pretended not to hear my father's nagging. I plucked the food in front of me with my left hand. I also enjoyed the food in a disrespectful way.

I saw at first glance it seemed like my father was really embarrassed because of me. Forgive your son, sir. I wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for the Father who meant me to make a proposal!

"Sorry, Ustadz. Arin doesn't usually act like this. Maybe it's because he's nervous" said my father, who continues to apologize to Ustadz Wahab's family.

But from the time I observed, it seems like the Wahab Ustadz family did not mind the slightest of my behavior like this. "No problem Mr. Great" said Ustadz Wahab.

Ha's? No problem? I've been acting like this since, but Ustadz Wahab himself still doesn't mind? Ok! If so, I can do something even crazier than this!

Yes, after eating I was immediately engrossed in scraping my nose. I peeked in front of everyone. It also seems to make my father more furious.

"I never taught my son to be disrespectful in front of guests" my father told me.

Again he apologized and was totally distressed to Ustadz Wahab because of me. I'm actually ashamed to do this, too. But I still hope that my behavior will upset Ustadz Wahab's family.

But it seems my efforts have come back in vain. Ustadz Wahab's family seems to be responding to my behavior. Even when I turned my head towards Huda, the man could still smile at me. They still remain polite, even though I have shown some brazen behavior.

For a long time I was embarrassed in front of them. Every time my father apologized, they did not protest at all and did not try to denigrate me who had been disrespectful.

"They're what exactly, anyway? They really want to have a ghost like me? Are the girls in this world gone?" my mind began to be upset and ashamed of itself.

The application event still goes according to the plan without the slightest hitch. I thought that after seeing me behave like that, the Wahab Ustadz family would go straight home without continuing the event. But also wrong. They kept proposing to me and even quickly discussed marriage with my parents.

"Thank you so much for visiting Ustadz Wahab and our family home. We're really sorry for the bad impression our daughter made. Hopefully in the future our affairs are facilitated and given smoothness," said my father drove the guests home.

"We and our family also say a lot of thanks to the family of Mr. Agung who has welcomed us well. We will visit again to discuss the continuation of the next event" said Ustadz Wahab.

After the guests came home, I immediately ran to the room and locked myself in there. I really do not think with the attitude of the Ustadz Wahab family which is somewhat strange. Normally no one would accept me as a son-in-law if I acted like I did before them. Moreover, the Ustadz Wahab family is one of the most distinguished families in my region. Why do they still propose to me? What exactly is their purpose and purpose? Is there any hidden purpose to this event?

I am increasingly curious about the Ustadz Wahab family. A few days later, I decided to visit the Ustadz Wahab boarding school.

"I have to find out the truth!"
