The Father Boy
ALA29'S CHAT. Mahar to Ceysa
"We want a simple wedding, Dad." Hadi and Ceysa talked almost together.
"Simple what does it mean?" Givan frowned.
"Married to KUA, get the family together. Documentation problem, we can photo studio."
Zuhdi's hope of inviting a few people, faded instantly. Givan's hopes of a simple reception with family get-togethers were slightly off-putting with his expectations.
"You bachelors and virgins, is the marriage?" Canda sighed.
"It's okay, Biyung. What matters is that we're legitimate too." It's nothing, Hadi and Ceysa thought about the cost. They worry about the cost, they don't want to bother their parents too much.
"I'm worried about Dayyan, if there's a reception. Who will he be the same? Will Dayyan be fussy? Will I be able to nyuin?" Ceysa glanced at her son.
"The perception is simple, Dek. Invite your friends, let them know that you are legitimate. Because of their ignorance, they will wonder if you will suddenly hook up with many children." Keith thought, so that Sekar would know the news of the wedding. He also did not want Sekar to disturb Hadi, after the marriage of Hadi and Ceysa because of Sekar's ignorance. Keith thought about it, because he remembered some of the women who bothered him when he only did one wedding reception at his in-laws' house. In fact, he had planned two receptions to invite his friends who were in Singapore. So, not only his wife's hometown residents know that they are married. But his friends in Singapore also knew that they were married.
"I don't mess around with that, Bang." Though unmarried, Ceysa is not shy about taking Dayyan everywhere.
"Simple perception, Dek. Let me be a good father, you don't have to think about this. Your marriage should be memorable, let you remember that your marriage is full of joy to all brothers." Givan wanted to give a few memories to his children.
So that among all his children, no one would be envious because of them there was no marriage celebrated. Givan wants to generalize his children, although some of them are not his own or someone else's children.
"But, Dad." Hadi complicated because the savings are not much.
"What's wrong. Did you ask Ceysa for the dowry?" Givan forced, intending not to happen envy between brothers.
"Udah, Dad. Money, one hundred and twenty thousand he said. The twelfth day Dayyan was born, twelve cakes the number of his dowry." Hadi said what he got from Ceysa.
Givan and Zuhdi looked at each other, clearly they could not express themselves other than hearing the dowry.
"Don't be bad, Van. I know how, you feel humbled by that amount. How much do you want? You mention that? I'll be able to pass through my son's hands." Zuhdi smiled widely.
"Bring me up, Di. Marry the girl Canda, I came out seventy grams of gold. Not money and anything else. His widow Dowager Canda aja, four hectares of productive fields, touched six billion at that time. Ceysa and Jasmine had a private contract, the dowry was no less than thirty gold mayams. Giska aja, until want forty mayam gold right? So, you're about to. I don't want to sue, because my daughters know the abilities of their chosen men and they also know the value of not degrading themselves. I don't want to score high, but I'm not with the dowry that Ceysa wants." Givan looked down and covered his face. He rubbed his face and watched them all one by one. He felt humbled by the dowry, but he did not understand the value demanded by Ceysa.
"Just try it, Dek. It's okay." It's okay." Giska also felt that it did not match the dowry. He thought, as if Ceysa was thinking that they would not be able to give a high dowry. Giska was offended, with such little value from Ceysa.
"But, Biyung." Ceysa had an understanding that dowry should be met from the groom himself, not the groom's parents.
"But what, Deck? Why?" Pitched jokes are always gentle, making her children open with their own opinions.
"Bahar must be from Hadi." That sentence explains everything.
"The boy still belongs to his mother, which means Hadi remains the responsibility of his parents. If Hadi has no money to give Ceysa food, clothing, yes we as her parents are more capable, obligated love to take care of it all in the name of Hadi for Ceysa and Dayyan," obviously Giska slowly.
The figure of the mother here is so helpful to mediate them all.
"But yesterday's grandparents played a role for it, because society and abusyik can't afford it. They can only guarantee, not by guarantee." Zuhdi spoke in a bitter tone, he remembered his sense of iron when the economy was so bad. However, when it comes to his sisters. Obviously his parents behaved differently, even though he always tried to be devoted to his parents. Until he was the one who made a sturdy building owned by his parents, although in the end became the seizure of his sisters after his parents were gone. He was grateful, because he was given economic sufficiency. So, do not explore the small house that he made sturdy.
"I am also nothing muh mamah same papah, indeed his family Canda there come love for help? Hmm, nothing! They come to anger us, until I'm lazy to hear it until I stay asleep." Givan also put his misfortune on one side.
"Our children should not lose the affection of one side so, Van. Afraid they'll interrupt their service to us." Zuhdi learned from his experience yesterday.
"Betul, I'm the same Canda family also less get along. But it's definitely different from the late mother-in-law, the beautiful widow." Givan chuckles amusedly.
Canda hit her husband's lap, then her husband grabbed her and rubbed her arm. The atmosphere relaxed for a moment, from the discussion that offended them.
"Just like Ma's cake, Ceysa?" Giska pulls back on dowry for her son-in-law.
"How long ago, Ma?" Ceysa focused on turning towards her future mother-in-law.
"Thirty-nine mayam gold, for dowry. The money is a hundred million more if not wrong, but the money is used for the reception fee. Ma in fact there used to be room contents all sorts, because it was full. Seven forms of pull cloth, daily clothes and makeup equipment and so on. Special fruits and cakes also exist, there are finished foods and there are some vegetables. There's even cows, there's goats and all sorts. Ma's brothers were giving gifts to be added to Ash's luggage, so there was no mention."
Giska and Hadi just gawked, they were shocked to hear the wedding story that seemed so luxurious.
"Ceysa want to be likened to Ma's cake?" Zuhdi offered to re-offer, as Ceysa was silent with a wink.
