99 Love for You
99CU(S2): The Truth of Life

...💟💟💟...

The next day, the,

"Khumira! Umi called you to come to her room." Rosida as usual.

"Yes Ros. I'm gonna come. Thank you for telling me."

After Cecilia saw the collection of photos in Umi Isma's room, today finally Umi Isma decided to tell all the things that Cecilia wanted to know.

Cecilia steadied her heart to meet Umi Isma. He will apologize in advance because it was presumptuous to enter Umi's room without permission.

Cecil knocked on Umi's room door.

"Assalamu'laikum, Umi .. "greet Cecil when Umi has invited him in.

"Va'alaikumussalam, Khumaira. Please sit down." Umi Isma greeted Cecil with her signature friendly smile.

Cecilia sat opposite Umi Isma. There was a little doubt in his heart. He was just afraid that things would get more complicated because of his curiosity.

"Khumaira, thank you for coming. Sorry I left yesterday without telling you. Umi knows you must be confused by all this. But today, please ask what you want to ask. Umi will answer everything."

"Eh?" Cecil was surprised to hear the statement of Umi Isma. "Sorry Umi, yesterday I went into Umi's room without permission. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay. Wrong Umi for not locking the room because of the rush."

"Sorry Umi, I didn't mean to interfere in Umi's personal life. Yesterday I accidentally saw Umi's belongings. I'm sorry." Cecilia spoke with her head down.

"Why keep apologizing? It's okay, son. It should have been from the beginning umi telling you the truth. But Umi felt the time was not right. Um... Did Rangga ever tell you about her real mother?"

"Yes, he told me a little bit. She didn't like it when anyone talked about her mother, so .. I didn't dare to ask more. Is it true that Umi is ... Rangga's birth mother?" cecil asked doubtfully, still lowering his head.

Umi Isma nodded. "Yes, Umi is Rangga's birth mother ..."

Sontak Cecil raised his head to look at Umi Isma's face.

"But ... as far as I know the name of Rangga's biological mother is ..."

"Anna? That's Umi's real name. After meeting with Abah, Umi decided to change the name of Umi. So that no one else would recognize Umi."

"And all this time Umi keep finding out about Rangga from the news in newspapers and magazines?"

"Yes. For twenty years, Umi never missed the growth and development of Rangga. Umi is always looking for articles about Rangga in magazines and any sources. And sure enough, he grew up to be a brilliant kid. Umi was happy to see it even though only through a picture." Umi Isma told me with teary eyes.

"Sorry Umi, not that I was presumptuous, but why did Umi not bring Rangga to go with Umi?" ask Cecil again.

"No mother wants to be away with her son. Umi also wants to take Rangga away. But ... there are a lot of things that Umi has to think about. Especially about the future of Rangga. Umi can not raise Rangga alone with the condition of Umi who has nothing. And it turns out Umi's feelings are right. Rangga would be better off staying with her Papa."

"Why hasn't Umi seen Rangga in twenty years?"

Umi Isma sighed. There was sadness in his eyes.

"Sorry Umi if I'm presumptuous. I didn't mean to ... "

"Sorry, Umi."

"Yes, Umi understands. You are the closest person to Rangga, so it's only natural that you ask this."

"Since when did Umi know that I had a relationship with Rangga?"

"Didn't Rangga announce your relationship in public on AJ Foods' anniversary? Umi saw it in the online news. Umi is happy that Rangga has finally found her happiness."

Cecilia was embarrassed. "Thus ... Umi's not mad?"

"angry? Why should I be angry? Umi's happy because Rangga met a good woman like you."

"Eh? But. umi knows if I've ever been married and divorced. And when I suddenly decided to leave, did Umi also know if this had anything to do with Rangga?"

"Yes, Umi knows everything. And Umi understands you."

"Sorry Umi. But I can't be with Rangga."

"Umi understand. It'sit's okay. Now you have to start a new life with each one of you. So, don't look back again. If you are a match, God will bring you back together." Umi Isma clasped Cecilia's hand.

"And Umi asked you for help. Please keep this from everyone. About Rangga, Umi is looking for the right time to meet him again."

"Yes, Umi. I-i promise. Thank you for believing in me." Cecilia smiled with relief. "I told you first, there was a class teaching foreign languages with the students."

"Yes, go. Hopefully the knowledge you provide can be useful for the children santri here."

"Aamiin, thank you, Umi. Then excuse me, Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam."

Umi Isma looked at Cecilia who approached the children in the cottage garden. Cecilia moved the teaching and learning event to an open space like a park. So that students do not feel bored because they continue to study in the classroom.

Cecilia's smile expands. The smile that Umi Isma had long been waiting for, now reappeared. There was a feeling of relief in the mind of Umi Isma.

"Well, Umi wanted to ask Abah for help. Please make sure that Khumaira never knew about the incident that happened to Rangga yesterday. Umi does not want Khumaira to blame herself and will fall again."

"Yes, don't worry. Abah made sure Rosida didn't hear from Khumaira. Whether it's online news, newspapers, television or radio."

"thank you. Umi believes that Khumaira's departure must have something to do with Mas Adi. I don't know what he'd do if he knew where Khumaira was. We have to protect Khumaira, Bah."

"Umi take it easy. Abah made sure no one would know about Khumaira's whereabouts."
