“Jono, son..."

“I... Mammy? Is mom conscious? Alhamdulillah yes Allaaah!" Jono and Salma looked at each other and laughed happily, they hugged each other.

“Astaghfirullah's... Um... Sorry Salma, I didn't mean—"

Jono dicut Salma

“gapapa Jon, I should apologize to you and mom, you don't need to apologize, because you're not wrong, but I'm wrong"

“Nak Salma, does son Salma still love Nature or my son Jono?" The Sahut Hilda who was still lying weak

“Mmm... Honestly aunty, Mmmm... Salma did love Jono from the bottom of Salma's heart, Salma sincerely loved Jono because of Allah and His Apostle, as for Nature, he was indeed the best santri in Al-Hikmah's boarding school, the son of Al-Hikmah, but somehow my heart rejected it, as if there was a strange feeling that made me reject it just like that, maybe this is the business of the heart, only the heart can answer this all".

“Jono, how do you respond son?"

“Mean mother?"

“Ya means how do you respond to this? Salma has openly declared her love for you, do you want to repay her?"

“Sorry Mom, maybe for now Jono still can't decide, Jono knows Salma loves Jono very much, and he has known Jono since childhood, too, but let's see what fate says, for He alone is the All-Turning, Salma, I hope you understand my feelings now"

“You are not wrong son, there is nothing to forgive from you, and you also do not have to apologize, because you are a pious and pious girl, honestly, actually, auntie also wants you to hang out at the wedding with Jono, maybe this all just takes time."

“Iya aunt, no problem, anytime, Salma will always wait for answers from Jono, now we should both focus on school first... Jono, you are the spirit yes, in our school there are some students who are naughty, you take good care of yourself, baby yes"

Jono just nodded
