CHARM OF MARYAM (Maryam Albatul Rahmah)
154. Unexpected
Nissa had arrived at her destination, walking with a slight dash to head for the main door.
Nissa was a little late, because Nissa had to make sure that Ali had arrived home safely. He just felt calm.
Not only that, but several times Nissa also made sure to the ummi, to ask whether Ali had arrived at the boarding school or not
"Please Miss, you are waiting inside" said a waiter with a friendly smile.
"Oh, Alright, thank you "Say Nissa politely.
This may be the first meeting after a few years ago, or it may be said to be the second meeting after the incident in the holy land at that time.
Tok tok tok tok
Nissa knocked on the door first before entering, not without reason she just did not want to be presumptuous before being invited in by someone who was in the room.
"Honey" said a middle-aged woman who welcomed his arrival. Standing right in the doorway with a sweet smile.
Still as sweet as a few years ago, where it was also his first meeting with him.
"Assalamualaikum Aunty" Sapa Nissa was polite by grabbing the hand of the figure in front of her then kissing the back of the hand in reverence
"Yuk yuk "
"This is asking to know the Aunt's Son "
Nissa followed the woman's footsteps.
"Tam ! " call Bu Siska to the son who was busy with his smartphone.
"Tama ! Recognize this Nissa" said Ms. Siska with a slight raise of her voice. Annoyed by the response of the son who still subdued his face.
Hearing the name Nissa who was called by the mother, Tama suddenly raised her face.
"Missy !" surprised Tama by moving from her seat.
"Doctor Tama !" said Nissa was no less shocked after seeing the figure in front of her was Tama.
Tama was very surprised to see Nissa's arrival at the place, and looked so familiar with the mother. Likewise with Nissa who was also no less surprised to see Tama had been sitting sweetly at the place.
But soon Nissa realized that Tama was part of the Siska Bu family and the dawn sir.
"So "Say Nissa and Tama Say Together
Seeing the two lovebirds in front of him, Ms. Siska was struck by a sense of wonder.
"Do you know each other ?" ask Ms. Siska full of investigation.
"Ma, so Nissa is the one you want to introduce to Tama ?" tanya Tama was full of enthusiasm.
Not answering her question, Tama asked.
"Yes . Nissa who wants you to meet her " replied Miss Siska still with a face full of astonishment.
Hearing the mother's answer, Tama immediately scattered on the siska, hugging tightly to the mother with love and affection.
"Tam!, Stop !" Said Ms. Siska with a shrieking voice.
"Tam!, you can hurt your mother" said the dawn sir who saw the son so eagerly hugging his mother.
Realizing that, Tama immediately let go of her embrace of "Sorry. Excuse me. Tama --" Tama said
"You are why the hell tam , Strange deh" said Ms Siska upset at the son.
"No ma, Tama twilight "Answer Tama by scratching the back of the head that does not feel itchy.
Seeing the behavior of Siska and Tama, Nissa could only smile. But there is a sense of happiness that comes out of nowhere.
"Nissa, sit here near Auntie" Invite Bu Siska to Nissa who was still standing.
"How are you doing Nissa ?" ask Mr. Fajar
"Alhamdulillah om, Nissa well, om same Auntie how are you?" Ask Nissa then.
"As you can see, om and Aunt are very healthy" replied Mr. dawn by commenting on the smile on his face
"Alhamdulillah" answered Nissa briefly
Unceasingly Tama looked at the beautiful face of Nissa who was sitting right next to the mother, although still feeling disbelief, but what was it, Tama felt very happy.
Afterwards they chatted with each other, waiting for the food to come.
Not to forget Tama also told her parents if Nissa was the person who planned to also introduce Tama to both, as the figure of choice Tama.
The world feels so narrow, the tip of I love Ulam Pun arrived so maybe the saying goes.
"This mama knows Nissa during Tam's Hajj" Bu Siska explained.
Tama nodded her head, listening to her story, because for Tama something concerning Nissa was very interesting to her.
"Keep that long Mama's still the same communication Nissa ?" ask Tama
"Yes, Mama has liked Nissa from the beginning we met" replied Ms. Siska by looking fixed on Nissa's face
Nissa who was the subject of conversation could only smile in embarrassment by lowering her face.
"Ma "Call Tama to the mother.
"Em" replied Ms. Siska briefly.
"If this is your choice anyway, Tama agrees ma, In marriage tomorrow also Tama agrees" said Tama nyleneh
"Hmmm.. It's a reward "Siska said with insinuation.
"Giliran deh, have met the right one, ask for marriage rush" Sindir Bu Siska
"Try what he said !" ketus Bu Siska reminded her son.
"Yes Tama did not know ma before" replied Tama timidly but willingly.
Still so fresh in the memory of Bu Siska and pak dawn , the previous Diman Tama was so hard refused to be betrothed, he said, even Tama refused outright even before meeting someone who wants her mother to introduce.
But the current reaction is inversely proportional to Tama's previous attitude.
Ms. Siska could only shake her head, seeing the change of the son who was 360⁰ was very inversely proportional.
Meanwhile, Nissa was increasingly downcast embarrassed by the conversation of the people in front of her.How not the discussion between them was only about her.
"We have eaten first, later we will discuss this again after finishing lunch" said Mr. Fajar who was embarrassed by the mother and child in front of him.
How the dawn sir was not upset, while he had to resist hunger from earlier.
"Oh yes, Upss.. What is the laper "Sinta Ma'am replied with a giggling laugh
Seeing the reaction of the wife, the dawn sir just grunted annoyedly.
While Tama and Nissa just looked with a shake of their heads, looking at the behavior of the two people who were no longer young.
After that they refocused on their plates, with the food prepared by the waiter.
"Eat a lot ya Nissa" said Miss Siska friendly
"Good Auntie" Nissa said with a nod of her head, not forgetting to comment on the sweet smile on her pretty face.
Destiny is so beautiful, how God brought the two together, so beautiful and so unexpected.
