Halal Love of the Senior
Family Meetings

One week has passed, the family of Pak Wijaya and Pak Lukman finally met as a continuation of the family taaruf process. Pak Wijaya came with Ibu Hasna, Adi, Dita and also Rendra. Not to forget they brought a parcel of food that Dita made Saturday with Mother Hasna.

On Saturday morning, Ms. Hasna and Mr. Wijaya arrived at Adi's house. They deliberately came early in the morning in order to prepare the parcel to be brought. Mr. Wijaya can also chat longer with his son and favorite daughter-in-law.

At this meeting the two parents got to know each other and also discussed the proposal and marriage of Adi and Adelia.

"Because our two children are ready to get married. And we as parents have also agreed. So what about the proposal? Because Nak Adi said yesterday that there was no fiancee" asked Mr. Lukman.

"Would be as soon as possible, sir. We are chasing time before fasting" replied Mr. Wijaya.

"How, Ma?" Mr. Lukman looked at Sarah's mother.

"Fasting is three weeks away, so two more weeks into the proposal. How's it?" haggard Mother Sarah.

"If next week's time is too tight, we'll have to tell the rest of the family." Sarah's mother gave her a reason.

"Okay, then. God willing, in two weeks our family will come to propose to Nak Adelia," said Mr. Wijaya.

"When our application has agreed, how about the marriage contract and reception?" ask Mr. Lukman again.

"Faster is better. How about after Eid?" proposed Pak Wijaya.

"Sorry, Sir. That's too timed. We still have to find a building for the reception and the wedding contract." Sarah's mother rejected Mr. Wijaya's proposal.

"We were planning to marry Adelia after graduation. But if for now it seems the distance is too long because there is no fiancee. After Eid al-Adha may be able to, there is still about 3.5 months to prepare. How's it?" proposed Mr. Lukman.

Mr. Wijaya sighed. "How about we marry them like Dita?"

"Dad, God willing we can keep up the marriage contract. During this time mas also related through Dita not directly with Adelia." Adi rejected his father's proposal.

"Yes, I agree with Nak Adi. The wedding ceremony is done before the reception. We will also keep our daughter from being alone with Nak Adi. All this time they've been keeping each other's eyes on." Mr. Lukman chimed in.

"alright. Adi, I believe in you. Don't betray my trust." Pak Wijaya looked at Adi.

"Yes, Dad. God willing I will keep the trust of Dad and all." Adi then switched to Dita. "Sir, can you help, right?"

Dita nodded. "God willing, Mommy."

"So we agreed the marriage contract and reception after Eid al-Adha." Lukman looked at everyone there.

"Yes, sir." Hasna's mother this time said.

"Alhamdulillah, means we agree on a proposal for two more weeks, and a marriage contract after Eid al-Adha. If for the determination of the date of the agreement and reception following depends on the availability of the building," said Mr. Lukman.

"Sorry, Sir. If I may know which building the recipe is?" ask Hasna's mother.

"Because we will invite at least 1000 people, so it takes a large capacity and a large parking area. I plan to hire the Grha Sabha Pramana. After all, the two of them also studied at UGM" said Mr. Lukman.

"Dad, Mother, what if the recipe is made into one? Let Daddy and Mommy not be tired either?" adi's proposal to both of her parents

"No, our reception stays at home. Just like Dita." Firmly Pak Wijaya.

"Good, Dad." Adi would not agree with his father. There's no way he's resisting Mr. Wijaya's wishes anymore.

"How about the event at UGM Campus Mosque? The distance is not far from the Grha Sabha," proposed Dita.

"Good that too. But the capacity is small, Dek," said Adi.

"If the marriage contract is usually only the closest family. No more than 200 people, right? Still capable of holding."

"Yes, Pa. I'm just in Maskam." Adelia supports Dita's proposal.

"Yes can be. In that case, Adel tomorrow you go to Grha Sabha check what date is empty, if you can directly book. So when the application we already know the date of the agreement and the prescription. All of you to the Campus Mosque so that the building's business is settled just take care of the others."

"Good, Pa."

"Later for the family uniform and wedding dress with Jeng Dewi only, Rendra's mother," broke up Mother Sarah.

"Thank you, Aunt Sarah," said Rendra.

"One more time thank you, Auntie."

Sarah's mother nodded with a smile.

"Is there anything else we need to discuss?" ask Lukman.

"It seems like enough, sir. Tomorrow we can connect again when the proposal," replied Mr. Wijaya.

"Then, let's enjoy the food that has been prepared by my wife" asked Mr. Lukman.

"Sorry, because soon Azan Zuhur, how about we pray first? Only then do we enjoy the dishes Mother Sarah prepared." Mr. Wijaya looked at the clock on his wrist.

"So good too." Mr. Lukman agreed.

"The mosque is near or far, Mas?" ask Mr. Wijaya to Adi.

"Near, Dad. Let's walk, "Adi replied.

"Yes, already. We're going to the mosque now. Let's Mr. Lukman, son of Arsen."

Mr. Wijaya, Adi, Rendra, Mr. Lukman and Arsenio flocked to the mosque. While the women stay home.

"We, yesterday the japanese cheese cake was made by you huh? It's really delicious, you know. So soft. Auntie likes it especially Arsen can run out on his own if not reminded," praise Mother Sarah.

"Thank you, Auntie. Coincidentally the result is good," said Dita low.

"It's pinter cook anything, Ma. I'm gonna learn to cook with him tomorrow." Adelia praised.

"Mbak Adel is overrated. I'm still learning." Dita smiles shyly.

"Bu Hasna must also be good at cooking yes, not rich me who can not cook." Sarah's mother turned to Hasna's mother.

"I'm just a housewife. If the work is done, the activity is learning to cook, ma'am. It could also be because you get used to it," said Ms. Hasna humbled.

"Not only Mas Adi, Dita and his mother also all like to humble. I'm amazed by Ms. Hasna's family." Sarah's mother continued to praise them.

Hasna's mother smiled. "Our family is ordinary, Mom. Just like any other family."

"Mbak Adel, akh want to ride wudu and pray." Dita interrupts to divert the conversation.

"Oh, let's go to my room. Aunt Hasna want some of you?" Adelia looked at Hasna's mother.

"Yes, I can." Mother Hasna and Dita follow Adelia up to the 2nd floor where Adelia's room is located. The three of them prayed Zuhur alternately while waiting for the men to come home from the mosque.

"Mr Adelia, thank you for accepting Adi's taaruf." Hasna's mother clasped Adelia's hand as they sat on the bed, waiting for Dita who was praying.

"Together, Aunt. This is also a guide from God." Adelia smiled as she returned the grasp of Mother Hasna's hand.

"Tante is happy, finally Adi finds someone who can fill his heart again. Aunty was afraid, Adi married when we were no longer there. Thank God for hearing and granting our prayers."

"After we met directly with Ms. Adelia, Adi was not wrong. In addition to her beautiful face, Sister Adelia is also beautiful heart. Aunt Adi yes, Ma'am. Please accept all her shortcomings if you are married later" said Ms. Hasna.

"God willing, Aunt. I am far from perfect, I have many shortcomings. Thank God, I am so grateful that my Auntie family will accept me who was sinful."

Hasna's mother smiled. "That has passed is enough of a lesson. The most important thing now is, Adelia wants to improve herself for the better."

"Thank you, Auntie."
