Leaving Shanum for a moment, it's okay. Because we're gonna turn to Imran for a second.
Imran is currently having lunch in his office cafeteria. He who was enjoying coffee while daydreaming, was suddenly approached by one of his friends.
"Why is your face Imran?"
Imran immediately turned his gaze towards the friend who was already sitting in the opposite seat.
"It's okay!"
The friend, who does not believe in Imran, continues to urge him to tell him.
"Come on! Don't you lie to me. I can see it clearly in those eyes!"
"Is this Linda's problem again?" say friends again.
Imran nodded immediately. And the friend named Ali immediately continued his words.
"What has Linda done this time, Imran?"
"She has rarely looked at me as before. He prefers to be busy in his shop. Even I married him can be counted by hand can eat at home or eat together with him."
"What's the opposite of Shanum?" said Ali.
Imran's reflex nodded his head slowly.
"Are you no words of regret after dumping Shanum like that Imran?"
"Repent. It seems like that word doesn't suit me!"
"Why?" Ali was a little confused.
"It's just that I regret it, because I won't be able to have Shanum anymore either."
"Honestly, I prefer you to Shanum. However, this is the path of your life that you have chosen, and I cannot do anything about it."
"Yes! I'm sorry why I didn't listen to your advice."
"I wish Linda could change and give you a child as soon as you want."
Imran just nodded. And when they finished enjoying their lunch. Imran and Ali are back at work.
Back to Idris's grandfather's house again. Emyr, Shanum, Nasir, Laila, Idris' grandfather and Khadijah's grandmother had finished their meal, but they were still sitting there talking casually.
"It seems, Laila and I have to resign first, Grandma! Cake!"
Khadijah's grandmother and Idris' grandfather nodded their heads.
"Thank you, Neng Shanum."
Shanum nodded. "Just like Nek."
Shanum then turned his gaze towards Emyr. "Sister Emyr! Again forgive Shanum."
Emyr smiled very thinly at the sight of Shanum always looking down embarrassed when faced with him.
"It's okay Shanum."
"Then, Shanum and Laila excuse me first. Assalamu'alaikum."
Greetings from Shanum and Laila were instantly answered by all of them. Grandma Khadijah and grandfather Idris smiled at the behavior of Emyr and Nasir who continued to look at the departure of Shanum and Laila, until they were no longer seen.
"Ehem!"
Emyr and Nasir immediately regained consciousness hearing the gloom from Idris' grandfather.
"I hope you don't like the same woman!" grandpa Idris said with a smile.
"No Sir! Of course, Emyr loves Shanum. Isn't that so Mas?"
Unknowingly Emyr nodded his head immediately. And that made Nasir laugh.
"Then, may Nasir say it to the mistress and master, if Mas Emyr has found a suitable woman to be a wife?"
"Gee!" it seemed like Emyr had just heard what Nasir had said to him.
Nasir was still laughing at the dazed Emyr. Just this time Nasir saw that Emyr could act like this.
"What do you want to say to mom and dad?"
"Quick say! You were going to say what mom and dad are like!"
"Nasir wants to tell his mistress and master, if Mas Emyr wants to propose to Shanum!"
"What!" Emyr was screaming very loudly.
Khadijah's grandmother and Idris' grandfather, who saw Emyr and Nasir arguing like that, even looked like a sister who loved each other. Not like employers and men. Because in their eyes, even though Emyr was the son of a rich man, but he had no qualms at all living in a poor family like them.
If Emyr and Nasir tease each other, it is different with Shanum and Laila.
Shanum and Laila have arrived at the rented house. They both cleaned their bodies before taking a nap.
"You why Laila? Why is it that after coming home Idris' grandfather kept smiling?" shanum Goda.
"Who are you taking? Mas Nasir or Emyr's brother?"
"No way to Emyr! Uh! But you call him brother anyway? Mas Nasir, you call me mas instead of big brother?"
Shanum lifted onto his two shoulders. "Eitherway! I don't think Emyr's sister deserves to be called Mas."
"Is it because his face looks bule?"
Shanum nodded. "Yes! And honestly, I'm afraid to be happy if I see it."
Laila laughed out loud at Shanum's words which she thought were too innocent.
Shanum who saw Laila laughing at him, he became confused. "Why are you laughing Laila?"
"Just funny! You're like you've never seen a handsome man, Shanum?"
Shanum shook his head. "Never ever."
Laila directly patted her own forehead. "Astaghfirullah's. I forget. You never leave."
"Easy! Don't discuss it again. I'm gonna take a break first. I'm tired of my body."
Laila just nodded. And they decided to take a nap.
If Shanum wants to rest his body. Similarly, Emyr who tried to rest too but could not. Not because the place is not as luxurious as his home. It's just that every time he closes his eyes, Shanum is always the shadow in his eyes.
"What's wrong with me?" Emyr asked himself.
"My heart is always pounding even if it remembers its name." Emyr held his heart that was pounding quite fast.
"What is this thing called being in love? Or just plain likes?"
"I feel like I want to stay close to him!" Emyr rubbed his face violently.
"Astaghfirullah's. O Allah show me what I am feeling this time?"
At night as usual, when finished the maghrib prayer, Shanum will prepare the ingredients for cooking tomorrow.
This time Shanum prepared it all aided by Laila.
"Is this how you work every day Shanum?"
Shanum nodded. "Yes Laila. Because this is my livelihood."
"But this is a lot of Shanum? Can you solve it yourself?"
Shanum smiled looking at Laila who felt astonished at him. "Yes! Why why anyway? If you want to succeed, don't you have to bother first?"
Laila was deeply saluted by what Shanum had done. Because he looks very hardworking.
When Shanum was in the kitchen to put some ready-made materials. Inadvertently his eyes saw his cooking oil spilling onto the floor.
Shanum was a little panicked, because it was already night. Shanum then let Laila out for a while to buy cooking oil again. However, how unlucky Shanum, because the stall that is close enough to his rented house is closed. As a result, Shanum had to buy cooking oil to a stall that was very far from his rented house.
As always, if Shanum anything always ask help to grandfather Idris and grandmother Khadijah. And when Shanum just got to Idris' grandfather's yard. There was Emyr and Nasir playing guitar on the porch.
Somehow, seeing Emyr was staring at him. His heart beats twice as much as usual. And it turns out not only Shanum, but Emyr was the same. Even he was fascinated to see Shanum who was walking gracefully towards him.
