"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."
Everyone answered the greetings in unison. Then allow Asma to join them. Small talk increasingly warms the atmosphere without any awkwardness, even with each other trying to familiarize themselves to know each other and understand each other's characters.
Both the Asma family and the Fay family. The two sides were like brothers who had not met for a long time until the first meeting went smoothly without any meaningful obstacles. But the heart still needs time to gain the trust of each other in order to get closer to being a family.
"Ifii, do you seriously want to live in Jakarta to work?" asked Mother Naufal to look at her nephew who looked very good and happy, she felt that a rare opportunity made the person of Ififay more colorful.
Fay nodded surely without hesitation, making his mother sigh slowly as she glanced at Fatur. Where the young man was a little stunned by the question that replied to a voiceless statement. The marriage of threatened families failed before it even began. Is fair?
"I'm sorry, but you should know that the job Fay took was not a simple one. We will work together as a business partner and check out more often in the field. However, we should enjoy the party because here is a place to share joy." explained Asma trying to make all understand there is still tomorrow for the discussion of work.
Fay smiled faintly because his brother's attitude was still formal and cold. When can that woman relax? Besides with. I don't know because personality can't be changed or forced to be this way, let alone that. Humans just need to adapt to each other.
"Ndu, aren't you going ahead? Guests must be willing, back to the front! Fay just invite my daughter to let her husband who could have been pranked by people." said Ms. Zulaikha, making Asma smile, while others laughed softly together.
He kissed both cheeks of the mother as a form of love from her, "Mas Rey is not an ATM card, Mom. Cannot be pricked, but usually in a pinch. Fay, ahead yuk! Help me take care of Jovanka."
"Kuy, I don't think I came yet." Fay got up from his seat, as did Asthma.
The two girls simultaneously left the family room, then walked into the real reception party room. Where the guests are still enthusiastic about chatting, even seen many who tried the complete menu on the southwest side. All good and nothing strange.
Asma circulated her gaze looking for the whereabouts of the husband who was nowhere, making Fay who was standing next to her smile meaningfully. A flirting hand distracts her brother from her.
"Who's looking, Ka? Can I help you?" tawar Fay could not help but tease Asma on her sister's special day.
Asma tried to balance the ignorant attitude of Fay who began to hit Bagas, "Help me find your prospective companion. Can you?"
How could her brother think of a soul mate for her? While in the family room there is still Fatur who has clearly been betrothed for his future. What is amnesia sister? Of course not. The woman knew very well the steps to be taken to ease the path of the future.
"Fay, when are you going to suppress your feelings? Fatur handsome, maybe is also well established, but the heart cannot be forced. Is it true that the unhealthy relationship between the two of you can continue?" said Asma straightened the decision because it was aware that matchmaking would lead to regret later on.
Not meant to be paranormal, it's just that he was too sorry every time he saw Fay holding back emotions. Several times he caught his sister busy daydreaming after talking to Fatur over the phone. Although not reprimanding in one time. Still, he was not willing to see the resignation in the midst of the struggle of life.
Fay turned his attention to stare at the guests who filled the room. "I don't know that none of this is easy. It can be with anyone, but to love? You know who I am, Ka."
"Hmm, not answer, Fay." Asma refused to argue about things that could change the mood.
The conversation of the two women was stopped because of the arrival of the secretary Bagas who had just arrived and immediately sought the whereabouts of the two of them. "Hey, how are you guys? Wait a minute, does it have to be formal or normal?"
"Jen! It's a party, not an office." asserted Asma without emphasis, making the beautiful woman in front of him raise his hand while showing the peaceful code of two fingers.
"I'm a laper, find a yuk! Instead of discussing the unclear," chirped Fay who immediately moved the body to walk toward the food, just contact Asma and Jen the secretary who insaf follow the steps of the woman's feet one.
Indonesian reception party that serves various types of Indonesian cuisine. Among them are rawon rice, soto, meatballs, rendang, gulai, and other heavy menus that are also accompanied by various types of sambal sambel such as tomato, sambal matah, sambal ijo, sambal roa, sambal kecap, sambal plow.
Not to mention dessert such as putu ayu, ice cream, mango pudding, legit sandwich cake, bika Ambon, pinch cake, klepo which is a sweetener and can eliminate the sensation of hot spicy due to traditional heavy food. The mainstay menu list of Indonesians that is deliberately used as a means of introducing culinary heritage.
Fay choose soto, rawon and also meatballs that are equipped with all types of sambel. It seems like that one child is again a raging fashion, the stomach is definitely rebelling but the order is beyond belief. Even so still can not prohibit because the party is only held once. Want, do not want them to sit waiting for food delivered to the table which is now a barrier to each other.
"Jen, I heard you wanted married. Is that true?" Asma asked did not mean pleasantries because at this time there was no problem between the two of them.
Jenny nodded her head, then showed a photo of a man who turned out to work as a state servant. Handsome and dashing in a green uniform, "After marriage I will resign because I have to join my husband moving city. So don't forget to come to our wedding, the invitation is still an otw process, yes."
"You are married. When's my turn? Cape insinuations mulu, let alone have a brother one hobby want to seduce me trus." ketus Fay just a joke that is enough to eliminate the tension of the atmosphere around them.
Without Fay realizing that his joke was clearly heard in someone's ear. He who had other intentions, but stopped because of the hope that suddenly swallowed affect the contents of his mind. Somehow the heart felt this was the right time to fulfill the promise he had made. Will everything go according to plan?
Glance his eyes to and fro looking at the situation around. Safely restrained even unexpected things are also welcome without any code from him. Does nature also bless the hope of a heart filled with compassion? All who were present made him to act immediately, where his footsteps walked closer to where the three women in front were sitting chatting.
"Fay! Marry me." she said loudly distracting everyone, but Fay was stunned frozen sitting in her place.
