THE JOMBLO DUO CONVERSATION


Dyah and Laila did not tell Shanum. If all the vegetables are not distributed to the neighbors. Because the two of them did not want to make Shanum even more mind.


Malik who heard the story from Laila and Dyah was also very surprised, when he heard Emyr who would cook for Shanum's merchandise tomorrow.


All that Emyr did, so that Shanum can still have income. Because Emyr knew, just by selling, Shanum had money.


It could be that Emyr gave money to Shanum's hold. But Emyr knew very well, a man like Shanum would not stand idly by and would definitely refuse his gift. So, Emyr's intentions in such a way, would definitely not be denied by Shanum. In fact, she can't cook at all. Never mind cooking, just entering the kitchen can be counted using fingers.


After taking the medicine earlier, and performing the Maghrib prayer service, Shanum chose to go straight to sleep and rest his body. Which makes Shanum fall ill, because he was exhausted plus the thought of Emyr's speech proposing to him, let alone the words of Mulan's mother who told him to follow Emyr home.


Shanum actually still does not want to marry again. There is a sense of trauma in the heart to build a household again. He was afraid that he would be barren and would not be able to give offspring. All the events when married to Imran still continues to swirl in his memory. Shanum did not want to experience the same pain a second time. While the previous pain alone he could not heal completely.


Emyr himself tonight after finishing the maghrib prayer, he taught for a while. Idris' grandfather and Khadijah's grandmother, who heard Emyr teach, were heartbroken. They did not expect, rich people like Emyr, can be very obedient worship, even teaching it sounds very smooth.


While waiting for the Islamic prayer to come, Emyr who had finished teaching, tried to find Nasir who was sitting on the porch next to the house.


"Sand!"


Nasir who was reading the book instantly turned his gaze towards Emyr who had just called him. Emyr also sat down on the chair next to him.


"Eh! Mas Emyr's. What's up, Mas?"


"Why did you say to papa this afternoon?"


Nasir looks scared and ashamed of Emyr. "Emm! Nasir was actually unwilling to tell the great master, Mas! It's just ... "


Emyr interrupted him. "Who pressured you to say it?"


Nasir nodded immediately. "True Mas!"


"Nasir can't lie to Hisham. Who knows if Mr. Hisham already knows, Mas Emyr's path to get Shanum's mother to be smooth. Like Madame Mulan who looks like Shanum right away."


Emyr smiled faintly. "Maybe I'm crazy. Usually I wouldn't like this when I see a woman. But with Shanum, my heart says something else."


"That's called love at first sight."


"Have you ever fallen in love with Nasir?"


Nasir is like looking at the past. "Earlier. But Nasir was in High School. And it turns out that the girl that Nasir likes, prefers Nasir's friend who is economically richer."


"Since then, Nasir has preferred to work and work, rather than thinking about romance. Nasir believes that God has prepared a soul mate for us. So then! Than Nasir chasing the uncertain. Better time Nasir use for useful things."


"Your age and my age will be older! Don't you want to find a companion?"


"Did Khadijah's grandmother and Idris' grandfather not tell you to get married?" ask Emyr again.


Nasir smiles. "All parents are the same! Mother and father are like mistress and master. Always tell Nasir to get married. But if the heart has not found the right one, how else?"


"Aren't you Laila? Seen from your eyes that always look at him with sparkling?"


Nasir looks shy with a smile. "What does it look so obvious, huh?"


Emyr nodded. "Why did you choose Laila instead of Shanum?"


"Mbak Shanum is not Nasir's type, Mas. Nasir was inferior first when he met a woman like Shanum. Nasir felt he would not be able to guide a woman like Shanum, if we were really meant to be a match."


"Nazir will ask. Why I'm not interested in Laila. Though the face of Laila that can be seen clearly by our eyes, compared to mbak Shanum who only seen his eyes?"


Emyr raises his shoulders. "I don't know. Even when they came here, I didn't realize there was Laila beside Shanum. And my eyes can't be sidetracked from Shanum at all." Emyr smiled to himself.


Emyr nodded. "Yes! He was good. And his life is really sad."


Nasir just nodded. "Let's sleep! At one in the morning we have to go to Shanum's house to help him cook" Emyr said.


"Can't Mas Emyr cook?" ask Nasir.


"This is my way to help Shanum, Nasir. Because people like Shanum won't easily accept help from others."


Emyr patted Nasir's shoulder. After that, he immediately went into the house to rest his body.


"May you mate with Shanum" said Nasir.


While moving places. At the house of Imran.


Imran is now seen picking up pillows and blankets that he will bring out of the room.


Linda who saw him directly asked him. "What are the pillows and blankets for?"


"Mas wants to sleep in the living room!" Imran immediately passed away from inside the room.


Seeing Imran leave, Linda immediately moved from the bed to approach him. "Mas! How can we have children, while Mas himself avoid Linda?"


"Let tonight Mas alone first Linda. I don't want to argue with you!"


"But Mas ... "


"Enough Linda! Just once give me peace in this house!"


Imran immediately left Linda and passed towards the living room. Linda herself then chose to go into the room and was angry.


While Imran who had laid his body on the thick carpet in the family room, even daydreaming is unclear. The one he was thinking about was Shanum.


"Why do I miss Shanum now. How's he doing there? I'm really sorry I wasted a woman as good as Shanum." Imran spoke to himself in his heart.


"If I were barren. I would be so ashamed to meet him."


After all, if you want to prostrate under his feet. Shanum still won't want to come back to you Imran. The pain that you give, Shanum can never forget at any time.


Imran that night completely separated the room with Linda. Because that night, Imran was not in the mood to see Linda.


Like Emyr said. At exactly one in the morning, Emyr and Nasir had already come to Shanum's house.


Shanum, who had intended that day not to sell, was surprised when he heard in the kitchen of his house was very noisy.


With limp footsteps, Shanum walked towards the kitchen. Arriving in the kitchen, Shanum immediately saw Dyah, Laila, Emyr, Nasir and Malik, were busy with their respective activities.


"What are you doing?"


"Cooking! To trade tomorrow?" answer them all.


"Well!" Shanum immediately held onto his chest in surprise.
