You & Dusk
Proposal

After driving us home, Ivan drove the car and rushed home to prepare for everything, the mental thing is certainly the thing that Ivan must have at this time for a proposal that will be in the afternoon later.

We had a photo session together in a big studio. Of course the one who bore the cost was Ivan's father. Taking pictures while wearing toga with family is something that should not be missed by graduates.

After being at home.. I let go of the toga and reflected. "What's next?" Mumbles.

From outside my room my mother screamed. "Arm.. Don't forget to spend the afternoon.. You promised Ivan." said Mother reminded me.

"Yes Ma.. It's also only 2 o'clock."

The application will take place after Ashar, at the residence of Grandmother of Yana. It's pretty far away because it's on the outskirts of town.

Pretty tired.. I lay down for a moment. I recall the memories of the 4 years that I have spent together with so many people. Not only with my close friends, not just with my class friends.. But also with my seniors and juniors on campus.. Either in the department or at the campus institution.

I unconsciously shed tears.. Because it's all over now.

"Arm.. Armani... Awake son.. It's already half 4 loh. Arman."

I opened my eyes, like my mother was calling my name.

"Arm.. Remind me to go to Ivan's house now."

Hearing Mom say that, my eyes opened wide. I seem to have fallen asleep because I was tired all day at the college graduation ceremony.

I hurried to the bathroom to clean myself properly and did not forget to fulfill my duties as a Muslim.. After that I changed clothes by using a long-sleeved shirt from batik.

I saw my smartphone that turned out to be full of missed calls from Ivan, as well as WA messages that immediately flooded my smartphone notification when I activated internet data.

From the message of W. A. Ivan.. It seems that since 10 minutes ago Ivan and his family have left home to Yana's place. Ivan told me to follow directly to the proposal, which was held at Grandma's house from Yana.

As a guide, Ivan sent Grandma Yana's house to me via WA. I replied to Ivan's message and told him the reason why I was late.. After being sent, I left the house on a motorcycle to catch up with Ivan.

"Hopefully it's not too late." My mind.

Meanwhile, in a car. Ivan couldn't help his nerves today, he just kept looking at the window. In front of him, the one driving the car was Dad while his mother was on the other side.

The three of them are one car.. While 2 other cars followed from behind. 2 of these cars were Uncle and Aunt Ivan from his mother's family. It's not too much, but Ivan thinks it's not time to get his whole family involved in this event.

Ivan will only involve his extended family when he holds a wedding reception next year.

Ivan was still looking out the window in nervousness, although he was certainly accepted for having done taaruf before but he still looked nervous. He held his pants pocket to make sure that he did not forget to bring the ring to Yana.

In the car driven by Ivan's father, they had a small conversation about the woman who would become Ivan's wife.

"Mama still doesn't believe Pa, that Ivan wants to get married" said his mother.

"when it feels like just yesterday Ivan graduated from High School, now the Bachelor has continued to want to marry again." continued his mother.

"Papa too, but it seems Ivan is more than ready." Ivan's father while looking at the tension face of Ivan from the rearview mirror in the middle of the car.

"What the hell is no problem. The important thing is Ivan can be responsible for his wife later. What else after meeting earlier, it turns out she's a beautiful and polite woman." Connect Ivan's father.

"yes.. You're a son of a man until he wants to be like you Van?" jest Ivan's Mother.

"Mama becanda. Ivan is just Ma's affection." Ivan replied with a light laugh.

"does.. Look at Pa.. Your son looks just like his father."

Hearing that Ivan's father laughed.

Looks like it was at the college graduation this afternoon. Ivan introduces Yana to both of her parents, who also happens to be on set.

While joking with his parents.. Ivan's smartphone reads. Ivan laughed because the incoming message on his smartphone was an apology message from Arman who fell asleep and forgot the time.

"Hhh.. Armani.. Armani.. I thought it would be like this."

"Why Van?"

"Oh.. So how? He didn't come to Yana's house."

"Say he'll follow Mom" Ivan explained.

The time was not felt until finally the car was right in front of the house of the prospective Wife Ivan. The three of them drove around the car and got into the yard. Followed by Uncle and Aunt of Ivan, they were 10.

Ivan and his Father and Mother, Aunt and Uncle Ivan from his Mother's family, and Cousins from his Mother and Husband and their two children also attended the application today.

It seemed like inside the house there were quite a number of people. Looks like Ivan's wife's large female family is gathering. It was seen a middle-aged woman coming out inviting them all into the house. Ivan said that the woman was a Aunt of Yana.

After arriving in the living room, they met a Grandma who sat together with a boy who was about 9 years old. The boy went inside and called Yana and Yana out. Meanwhile, Aunt Yana said that Yana's father had not returned from the mosque after Ashar prayers.

It seems like today the Yana big family really got together. Said Aunt and Grandma Yana, today they prepared a special dish for all of them and again the big family of Yana also wanted to see Ivan. A man who will soon be part of this great family.

It was not long before her mother finally came out. Looks like Ibu Yana is a little busy in the kitchen preparing food. Although quite a lot of people but Ibu Yana did not want to give the kitchen business to others, because she wanted to serve her best cuisine for the Ivan family.

Ivan's parents and Yana's mother greeted each other. Yana's mother apologized because Yana's father had not returned from the mosque. It was currently Uncle from Yana who was talking to them.

The cake and tea were served to Ivan's family by one of Yana's aunts.

Soon, Yana's father returns and joins Ivan's family. Yana's father and Ivan's father were involved in a serious conversation. Sure oes.. Because today Ivan officially proposed to Yana.

The conversation went well while occasionally enjoying the food provided. They look happy because they will soon be a family.

Yana who was finished and then went out to meet her future husband. Ivan's eyes were stunned to see his future wife at this time, so amazed he unconsciously widened his eyes and his mouth gaping.

Yana's niece who saw Ivan's behavior laughed.

"Vana.. Don't embarrass Mama." Said Ivan's mother jokingly looking at her son's behavior.

"Sorry Ma.. Hehe.." Ivan was ashamed of himself.

"Mama's daughter-in-law is very beautiful.." Ivan's mother said, patting Ivan on the shoulder.

Yana smiled at Ivan's mother's praise. Finally he sat down beside his father, facing Ivan.

"So.. How about Ivan. My Son?" ask Ivan's father.

"Goddess Uztads.. Yana is so beautiful today." Ivan blushed.

Yana smiled shyly..

Now they are back in serious conversation.. But the seriousness was only short-lived, when Yana received Ivan's family proposal.. At that time the atmosphere returned to liquid. Go to the ring exchange...

Some of Yana's family and Ivan's family took photos of the two of them. They're both very compatible.. A really suitable couple.

Yana's mother let out tears seeing that her only daughter had been proposed by good men and also sholeh. Ivan's mother approached, hugging Yana's mother who was crying because she had to see her son.

That moment, outside the yard.

"Is this right, Dad? I guess.. It looks like it's crowded inside." I said look at the location sent by Ivan.

It took me 40 minutes to get to this place. It was at an unnatural pace, because I didn't want to let Ivan down.

I who just got off the bike increasingly convinced that the house I currently see is the right house because I also saw Ivan's car parked in front of the house.

After tidying up the clothes that were quite messy due to wind exposure while riding a motorcycle. I walked into the yard.

"Hopefully not too late." I muttered as I walked in.

When in the home yard.. I was surprised to see a woman come out and look at me. The woman approached with a pretty upset look. "Kamuu... Why are you here?" He said while pointing at me.

"He.. Pu-pepper.." I saw him approaching.
