And so she would. Later that afternoon, when Azmi asked her, ‘Why don’t you and Dad go to see Rosnah’s parents? Arrange the wedding,’ Maryam threw her arms around him and beamed. She felt stronger immediately.

‘Mamat, listen! Azmi wants to marry Rosnah! Thank God! I’m so happy.’

Yi, Aliza and Ashikin buzzed with excitement, and Ashikin added just a touch of smugness to her attitude. ‘I told you,’ she said proudly to her mother.

‘You were so right,’ Maryam enthused. ‘How clever you were to think of it. Oh my goodness. Well, we’ll have everything now, a good child and a pretty daughter-in-law.’

Mamat slapped Azmi on the back. ‘This is great. Will you stay in the army?’

‘I don’t know yet.’ Azmi was suddenly serious. ‘Maybe we should open a business here. Maybe, I don’t know, work with Uncle Malek. I don’t know yet.’

‘Well, plenty of time to think about it,’ Mamat assured him. ‘Don’t start worrying yet.’

Maryam began to plan. ‘Kin, can you and Rosnah arrange a time for us to go over there? Rubiah and Abdullah should come too, don’t you think?’ She turned to Mamat, who agreed. ‘And Ashikin and Daud, Aliza and Yi. What should I wear?’

This last comment was clearly not directed at Mamat, who had walked outside with Azmi and Yi so the men of the family could share each other’s company. But Maryam and her daughters had to plan their wardrobes.
