The Father Boy
ALA29'S CHAT. Wedding plans
"Fastly, Brother. There is a baby, Hadi will come again. How it feels, the time of every minute comes." Giska was worried because her son was a boy.
"But no, Ma." Ceysa hung up her words.
"Why?" Givan looked up at the face of his downed son staring at the floor.
"And I'm still breathing." Ceysa fused her brows and said softly.
Givan held back a laugh, he understood the hidden intent behind the sentence. The others could not hear clearly, as Ceysa spoke very softly. However, they were obviously curious about Givan's amused laughter being held as much as possible.
"It's okay, what's important is that, right?" Givan spoke back.
"What is it, Dad?" He was curious about the conversation they did not hear.
"Ceysa is still breathing" Givan said a little loudly.
Ceysa bowed shyly, she embarrassed herself by her statement that was repeated by her father.
"It's okay, Ceysa. Hadi will help you with home work. Later buy a washing machine, let's not squat wash clothes." Hadi did not think in the direction that Ceysa and Givan were thinking.
"You think you're washing clothes, Di?" Zuhdi chuckled.
"Yes, that's the housewife's job. Ceysa can not work hard, so Hadi must help first because Hadi has not been able to love the housekeeper." Hadi spoke towards Ceysa.
"You'll sleep alone first, Di. Until later finished the Ceysanya puerper, that is," explained Zuhdi slowly.
"What if Dayyan were to cry at night? I used to hang out when baby Cala was here bustling. I wake Biyung, if Cala cries." Hadi thought straight.
It makes the parents doubt, if Hadi can be a man who can satisfy women. Givan thinks that Hadi should be taught to be able to make his son happy in bed.
"You can't do the same thing where you made Ceysa pregnant, Di," Keith explained slowly.
"Yes I don't want to either, Bang. Ceysa's pregnant again, Ceysa's still a child." Hadi turned his head towards Keith and Ceysa alternately.
"There's a thing called KB, Di. So you can wait for the big Ceysa first, but you can hook up every day without fearing Ceysa's pregnant." Chandra explained slowly.
"Dad can't believe you really don't know." Givan took a look at Hadi's gelagat.
"It doesn't matter, Dad. I mean, afraid that Ceysa might get pregnant again. Dayyan's not big yet, we're definitely lost." Hadi put out his thoughts.
"Yes, there's a way. Only, now Ceysa is still breathing," added Ceysa later.
"It doesn't matter, marriage time should wait for puerper?" Hadi felt that was not important.
"You sure you can be strong? You can't keep Ceysa in touch, until she's done puerperia, about forty days. You'll be staying with Ceysa and Dayyan at Yusuf's mange house near the palm oil field." Givan was actually worried about letting them stay together by taking care of their two children.
"Strong, Dad. Dad would often look at it, or Ceysa nemenin there if Hadi was Saturday Sunday school." Hadi was worried that a wild animal might enter the house and endanger his wife and child when he was not home.
"Don't worry too much, the important thing is that you always keep your house safe, Di. The door should not be loose, the window should not open. You still have to get out of the house, even if you don't go to college on Saturday. You have to make a living for your wife's child, you will still leave the house and return again after getting a wage from your work. It's so rough, Di." Zuhdi explained subtly.
"Yes, Mom. I understand." Hadi nodded.
"Tomorrow is okay, Biyung." Hadi wants to be quick.
"Who's the guy, Bang? Who used to take care of marriage that." Canda wants them not to bother.
"Udah is dead. Later Nando aja, they married not here because. They married there, Pintu Rime." Givan pointed to the direction the area was located.
"Can't come tomorrow, Di. You asked Ceysa what dowry, you asked Dad what the conditions were." Zuhdi is actually a little traumatized when it comes to marriage.
Recalling his earnestness while working on materials for their marriage, Zuhdi worried that Givan would impose the requirement on his son.
"Well, how much does it cost Ceysa? How much does Hadi and Ceysa's wedding cost?"
Zuhdi pat jidat, because his son seemed to be asking the price of goods. He thought, what because of age, made Hadi do not understand the procedure of asking a daughter from his father.
"Ask Ceysa, support the discussion. I want to discuss dates with people who know you." Givan gave his children the freedom to make their dream marriage a reality.
"Not so, Van. You have rights, even if you're just a father." Zuhdi was astonished by the decision that Givan made.
"My children know how to unite themselves, with the marriage of their dreams. The dowry was too expensive, I was traumatized as well. I'm still pioneering, Canda asked for a farm dowry." Givan shares his experience briefly.
"Then yes?" Zuhdi obviously knew nothing.
"He'em, they're planning it themselves. What date do you think it's good? Usually your cake people, can count dates, weton and weather." Givan starts to open up a chat about the date to hold his son's wedding.
Hadi had moved to sit on the floor next to Ceysa, while Ceysa was sitting on the sofa. They were right in front of Givan's door, where Dayyan was fast asleep.
"He doesn't understand, Van. Want to follow the people of old times? Not that I don't want to, but I don't understand." Givan pressed his shoulder.
"What is one week from today? Then, next Sunday." Givan felt that one week of preparation was enough time.
"Okay, I want some people including family." Zuhdi felt that marriage should also share happiness with those closest to him.
"I don't, I don't like too much. My family, the same grandchildren, the chairs must have been full. You weigh who wants to be invited, because they won't sit down." Givan wants a simple party, because it must be festive with his family only.
"I want her to have a boyfriend, Van." Zuhdi laughed and said it.
"Gee!" Giska directly hit her husband's arm.
"How's the fix?" Canda is confused, because there is a difference in the wishes of the family.
"Take the middle, a simple marriage with limited invitation. So for example, Bang Zuhdi only invited a hundred people, Bang Givan only invited a hundred people as well. Whatever, you want your family to want your relatives or friends. If possible advice, let Adek Ceysa not too tired because it is still in recovery, the recipe is limited." Keith's idea, too, sprang from every marriage of the family that is always limited to hours.
"Can deh. I really do not intend to invite, bring Ghavi and his family, must have been crowded. Eight brothers gathered, the wife's children counted grandchildren as well, must be crowded too." Givan dislikes inviting his old friends, fearing that his friends would talk about his previous disgrace.
"OK, sip. A hundred people does that mean anything? So, how's your wedding planning going?" Zuhdi threw a question at the young man who was seriously discussing.
"We want a wedding….
