A year has passed. Hanan and I have a good relationship. Even in the near future Hanan and his Pak Iskandar Pakde will come home to propose to me. Hanan also said her parents would attend the event. I still can't believe this happy day is coming.
Which woman is unhappy with the good news. Finally after a long journey we will live together soon. The thing is very much awaited by all women is when his name is mentioned in the sacred promise of ijab qobul later.
A few days ago Asep came to see me. Asep suddenly expressed his feelings that Asep had liked me secretly. I think he is good because he is sincere so all this time he was good and mocked me it is the thing that justifies his feelings.
I was shocked by Asep's sudden statement that even approached my engagement to his own cousin but it turned out that Asep was fully supportive of my relationship with Hanan. Asep only expressed what he felt. Asep will also focus on studying in Jakarta. Maybe that's a reason to run away from me. I can only wish Asep all the best.
Hanan and I still work at Ms. Dania's shop to this day. How not Ms. Dania has been very good to me and Hanan. But something was different this time. Of course, now Hanan has been appointed as chief and head of division since 6 months ago. While I was given full responsibility for everything related to the Global bakery that belongs to Bu Dania. Ms. Dania only received a clean and good income even now rarely visit the store. So now I'm a little busy at the store and more overtime.
Baby Misela has started to actively walk and learn to talk. He grew up to be a smart and obedient child. Especially to Hanan. He always followed what Hanan told him. I as the Mother even sometimes envied Hanan because Misela obeyed Hanan's words.
Zaki's family has no news at all. During this year Zaki and his family lost no news. Same as the old days. But I'm relieved that nothing will bother my mind anymore if Zaki doesn't see me often.
Obviously I don't think long about Zaki's problem. It doesn't matter to me about Zaki. It's just that every month there is always a package delivery containing groceries and Misela's needs are always even tucked in 5 million cash there. Between happiness and wonder.
That money I never used. Because the money from my salary is more than enough now. Even I can donate some to a mushola not far from my house. I always keep the money in the bank. I am so grateful that my life is now enough.
But something's been going on lately. The last package I got was a letter there. I haven't been able to read it. I tucked the letter in a pile of novel books that I used to read. Every time I read it, something bothers me.
***
The day of application has arrived. Mom and I are ready to welcome Hanan and her entourage. I didn't believe Hanan's parents, especially his father, would come. But it turns out they really came and blessed our relationship.
I thought Mr. Hanif would never see us again after that meeting.
Not many people followed the reception. Only Hanan's parents, Mr. Iskandar and his wife, as well as Asep and 4 other people whom I did not recognize as his they were elders in this village.
My best friend's daughter who is busy studying in Jakarta also took the time to attend my application event with Hanan.
"Duh very beautiful you Del with this hijab. I am glad that you made a promise to each other. Hopefully this relationship can get to the bottom of my dear friend." The princess hugged me tightly.
"Thank you Put was willing to go all the way just for me." I returned the Princess' embrace.
"You said what the hell ah so melow this later make up faded. Come out they're waiting for you."
Me and the Princess came out of my room. And sure enough, they all gathered. I sat down with Hanan and the show started.
Parents talk to each other for a long time. Sometimes I ask me too. They also directly determine the wedding day that will be in the title three months from now.
Between happy and happy and what and what I can't express my feelings right now.
After all I've been through, I can be happy with the man who really loves me and is the father of my daughter.
After that Hanan and I exchanged rings and took a picture together.
The event went well. After that, we continued with a meal together.
"Battle…!" Misela called Hanan.
"Papi's son is very pretty. Have you eaten yet, baby?" Hanan asked while holding Misela.
"Eyum Pi." Answer Misela.
"Let's Papi take a bribe?"
"Heem."
Hanan eats with Misela. They look very familiar. They are like a father and son.
The meal is over. When Hanan's family was about to say goodbye, suddenly four policemen came to my house.
"Excuse me is this the residence of Ms Renita the wife of the late Mr Tomo?" One of the policemen asked RT.
"True sir, I called him for a moment." Mr. RT went to the kitchen to call Mom.
"No one's looking for it."
"Who Sir?"
Those who were still busy chatting did not realize that there were police outside the house. I hurried out to see who was coming.
Seeing Mother and Mr. Iskandar who hastily I came to be curious. Even everyone who had been busy with their respective chats was amazed to see Mother and Mr. RT.
"What's? Not likely. That's impossible, right, sir?" Mom's shout provoked everyone inside the house to come out.
Hanan walked out and held Misela.
"What's up Mom." Ask me. But Mother was sitting limp in front of the house while Mr. RT tried to strengthen Mother.
"Sorry sir what's wrong?" I asked one of the policemen whose position next to mine was standing.
"We have to arrest Mr. Hanif on charges of premeditated murder to Mr. Tomo Candra Winata.
"Excuse me." The two policemen came in and handcuffed Mr. Hanif.
"The father of my future husband is my father's murderer." I looked at Hanan full of anger.
Mr. Hanif resigned and bowed following the steps of the police and got into the car.
"Sir…. Mister…." The screams and cries of Ms. Selly made the atmosphere in my house turn scary.
I walked closer to Hanan. Seizing Misela who he was carrying. I also cried without a sound.
"Now I'm beginning to understand the meaning of what you used to say Nan. You know your father killed my father, right?" I spoke flatly without any expression.
"Del sorry. That's not what it means. I can explain" Hanan tried to hold both of my arms but I walked backwards away from her.
Then I walked up to Mr. RT who was staring at me with teary eyes. Although my legs are not strong enough to step, I have to force myself to say what I want to say.
"Now I also know the meaning of Mr. RT's talk when I suddenly asked about someone who bumped into my father."
"Son Adel sorry Mr. Nak. You didn't mean to hurt Adel's son." Mr. Iskandar tried to speak as well but I didn't respond.
I turned around to go into the house. I wanted to be as angry as I could but I was helpless.
All were silent except for Ms. Selly still as unwillingly in Hanan's arms. None of them dared to speak.
"Actually you all know what happened to my father right? But you guys hide all this even you dare to propose to me? Ma'am let's go in."
I gave Misela to Mom. Mom walked into my bedroom.
"You're all bad guys you're all brengs**." I screamed at everyone outside the house.
With sobs I remove the ring that is coiled on my ring finger. The chirp Hanan just wore. I threw it in front of Hanan. Then shut the door of my house hard.
I also sat down with tears.
"Hanan doesn't really love me. Huu huu..aaackkk…!" I hit my door as hard as I could until I didn't notice any fresh blood flow.
"Yahhh…. Adel has to be how Well."
I hugged my legs and lowered my head. Sneaking alone in front of that closed door. I don't know what I can do now. I can't think clearly. I wanted to catch up with Dad and ask him what really happened.
It was only a few minutes ago that I was happy to find a new life but this time I was devastated again.
