Not the First
Magrib

"Rey,"

A chat came in, from Wibie.

Rey replied to a message.

"Yes,"

"Believe a prayer, yes,"

"What's wrong?" ask Rey

"And I want to meet the future-in-law" Wibie replied again.

Emoticon love.love.

"Alright, I will pray for you, my future faith," Rey replied in a jest. The emoticon shuts its mouth.

"Aamiinu. After magrib I left. I've been getting ready since then," said Wibie again.

"Yes success. I hope you're not angry with me anymore,"

"Aamiin," replied Wibie

"Rey,"

"Yes,"

"Kangen.

"But only 2 working days, too,"

There's no reply. Wibie just sent the emoticons crying again.

"Udah yes. Already adzan. Happy fighting,"

Rey closed the conversation with encouragement.

Check two and blue. There was no reply from Wibie.

Rey put her HP back on the nightstand, next to Devara's bed. Since Wibie left, Rey has been sleeping with the girl.

********

As I promised Rey, tonight I'm going to meet her parents. Officially ask them if I want to marry his daughter.

I've prepared words that would protect Rey from their anger and could make them accept me as her future daughter-in-law.

I'm alone, considering the mother who can't leave Witha. I also have no family in Sumatra.

Think of it as an introduction. If they object to the proposal I made myself, I will prepare an army. What matters is, whatever I do for the sake of the marriage contract we have planned.

I parked my service car right on Rey's doorstep. The house is quite large, painted blue and located on the side of the highway.

A boy about 13 years old came out as soon as he heard the sound of a car entering his unfenced yard. He was standing at the door, his eyes fixed on the car I was parking.

"This is for sure, Doni" whispered Wibie inwardly.

According to Rey, her sister is about her age. His face is similar to his brother.

The boy was watching me. His gaze could not be separated at least began to enter the yard of his house, until I came down and stepped towards him.

"Assynolajet. Doni, right?" guess Wibie kindly.

"Yes, Brother. Sorry, who do you want to see?" The answer was friendly and asked the guest. His gaze still swept over Wibie from head to toe.

Just a few seconds later, a woman wearing a negligee with her hair tied together.

"This must be my future mother-in-law" Wibie guessed again.

Wibie immediately developed her smile and greeted her.

"What's up, huh?" ask the woman. The same look as the boy next to her. He also swept my entire appearance.

"Sorry, Mom. I'm Wibie. Loundry customers who live on mess 105. There's something I need to talk to mom and dad about" Wibie gave an initial explanation.

Still with a face full of question marks, the woman invited Wibie in.

After allowing Wibie to sit, the woman entered the room. Before long he pushed a man sitting in his wheelchair.

Wibie got up from her seat, went straight to the man and greeted him. Very politely he kissed the palm of the man who still looks handsome.

We sat in a guest chair facing directly towards the living room.

"I'm sorry I interrupted my break. I've come here to tell you something" Wibie opened the conversation.

"Well, what, huh?" ask Rey's father in a curious tone.

"It's about Rey" said Wibie. He was silent for a moment, seeing the reaction of the two people. Doni and her brother who were sitting in front of the tv immediately looked up at me hearing me say Rey's name.

"What's wrong with my son?" ask the man. This time with a very worried tone.

Instead, mom looks ordinary. There's no reaction. He seems to be so upset with his daughter.

"Right now Rey is working for me. I happen to have a convection business in Jakarta. He lives in the shophouse and the office where he works,"

At that instant, Rey's mother immediately glared. Wibie's statement this time left the two shocked.

"How could he meet you. Her aunt in Kemayoran said Rey was in Jakarta and only stopped by for a while at her house. He said the boy was at work with his friend and didn't leave an address" this time the mother spoke up.

"Yes, Mom. Im sorry. I just told you now. Rey and I have known each other for a long time when she used to take loundry in mess. He often tells about his desire to work and study in Jakarta,"

"So you're the one who ran away my son," attacked the mother with a tone that started high.

It's been almost 3 months that he's been helping me" Wibie explained carefully. In his heart he apologized to Rey for not telling him the truth.

"Why are you coming now. We were so panicked to find the boy. You are secretly hiding it," said the mother fiercely.

"I don't know if Rey ran away from home" Wibie told a lie.

"Already, Mom. Nak Wibie already has good intentions by telling us. Maybe he has a reason why he can tell you now" I'm trying to mediate. He was so scared that his wife was out of control.

"Rey asked for a while not to tell her family. I also don't understand the reason. I'm sorry if mom and dad feel unappreciated" Wibie tried to talk as softly as possible so that mom's anger didn't explode.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide Rey. At the moment Rey is fine even she has started college" continued Wibie. The explanation instantly made Rey's father happy.

"really? Thank goodness she's okay. Thanks, Son. You've helped my son" said the man so happily.

Mother's attitude is still cold. Whatever Wibie said about her daughter's state out there didn't make her develop the slightest smile.

Silent!

"Sir, Mum. My intention is to come here and ask permission from you. I want to marry Rey,"

At once, my father got up from his wheelchair. He looked towards Wibie. Mom immediately got up from her seat, grabbed the body of the father and asked him to sit quietly.

I am no less surprised than Dad. She looked at him more and more, but mother tried to calm down to see the reaction of her husband who was so shocked by the request of her guests.

"What have you done to my son?" ask father with a clean. Now he looks calm again.

"No. there's nothing. Everything's fine. Sorry if I have made my father and mother prejudiced. Again, Rey is fine. I treated him as my employee, nothing more" Wibie explained in a hurry as she saw Rey's father's increasingly frantic reaction.

"Just be honest. I am a widower with one child. My daughter is now almost 4 years old. Except for my mother and sister, there was no more family I had.

Since childhood, I have cared for my son. Now my mother is in Surabaya because my sister is about to give birth. Since we lived in a different city, it was very burdensome for the mother to keep an eye on her grandchildren and children. That's why I decided to get married again. It just so happens that Rey is close enough to my son and my family, too,"

"I also want Rey to be a mother for my son. When I was on duty here my son was watching" Wibie added

Silent....

Father was still shocked by the news about his daughter. Seeing the seriousness of Wibie on her daughter, her anger soon subsided.

His face of the man who was about 45 years old was so calm. It seems he was thinking something.

"Well, I'll talk to Rey, '" he asked Wibie after a while.

"May.maybe," said Wibie with his spirit. He immediately reached for the phone in his shirt pocket, pressed a button and heard a dial tone.

"Hello," a voice came from across

"Rey, I want to talk. He misses you. VC yes" said Wibie.

Long time no word. But the phone is still connected.

"I've spoken to Mom and Dad. Come on, they've forgiven you" Wibie said

"Yes," Rey's voice sounded so short.

HP screen display converted to VC. Rey's face was clearly across the street. Wibie handed the phone to Rey's father

Long enough the boy and the father let go of the longing. Sometimes mothers also look at the screen of Wibie mobile phone. Perhaps he was also curious about his daughter's condition.

Soon, the phone call ended. Both Rey's parents look happy after knowing the state of his son is fine.

"Rey looks so happy" Dad opened the conversation again.

"Yes, Sir. He really enjoyed his work. Especially since starting college, he was more excited about his activities" added Wibie.

"If Rey has chosen you as her life partner, I agree, son. Dad, take him. Take good care of him" Dad continued

"Wait!" Mom immediately cut off their conversation.

"Did you forget, Rey was engaged to Aldy. How do we explain to the boy if Rey is suddenly married" the mother argued.

Inwardly, the mother does not refuse if Wibie marries her child. Seeing Rey who is already living happily and the interior of the house lived (seen at the time of VC) looks magnificent, the nature of the mother matre momentarily arises.

Dad was flabbergasted to hear mom bring up Aldy's problem again. So did Wibie.

"Already Ma. Aldy's business can we talk about later," I'm trying to melt the mood

"Can't be, Dad. I'm happy if Rey finds her soul mate, but what about our accountability with Aldy," suddenly mom sobs. His tone became raucous instantly.

Mother gave a brief explanation about Aldy because Wibie pretended to be surprised to hear the name became a topic that was discussed in their conversation.

"Aldy's been so kind to Rey and this family. He also gave Rey luxury items as proof that he was so serious about my daughter. But the boy did not know himself. After Aldy sacrificed a lot for her, she suddenly ran away. Though the wedding day is getting closer," the mother's story sadly.

Dad looked at his wife closely. He wanted to protest. What is said is exactly the opposite. Even I don't want to hear Aldy's name spoken again in this house.

Seeing the father looking at him in such a way, mother stomped on the feet of father. Give a code so as not to interfere with his affairs this time.

"Since Rey escaped, Aldy's been so angry. He asked for the items that had been given to Rey and the family. Mommy's sad, son. Aldy sent a bill of 20 million and asked to be returned immediately if Rey did not return immediately,"

"Mom," I'm trying to cut off Mom's conversation. But the woman could immediately prevent it.

"It needs to be covered up, Dad. That's how it is. Think about where we're going to pay that bill, '" she continued. This time, her tears almost broke.

"Mom don't worry about that. Since Rey is going to marry me, let me solve all the things that were caused by her mistake," Wibie immediately calmed her future mother-in-law so that her tears would not become.

"Really, Son. Is that a lot of money?"

"I'll pay Aldy a price so he doesn't bother the family anymore" Wibie said firmly.

Mom became a momentary sumringah. It turns out that his former candidate is indeed tajir as expected.
