“Umi, Bang Rendra wants to marry Cut and she intends to bring us a family to Java. How, Umi?”
“Do you want to marry her?” asked Umi who made me doubt a little.
“You like it?” ask Umi back.
I'm speechless. How should I tell Umi if I myself am confused by my own feelings.
“When we like a man, we will feel happy if we can see him even from afar or at a glance.” it seems like Umi realizes my doubts.
I looked at Umi smiling at me. “What do you feel when you are with him?”
“How did Umi feel when she met Abu?” Umi chuckled like she was mocking me.
“Umiiiii..” I whine because Umi is like playing with my curiosity.
“Liking a guy is normal for loyal girls. And also Umi. Such is the power of God that instills a feeling for each of his creatures so that they can pair.”
“How does it feel, Umi?”
Umi laughed at my question.
“You are like a fruit in a leaf.”
“Fruit in a leaf, that is?” Umi seemed to be playing a puzzle with me.
“Can you see fruit in leaves?” i'm shaken.
The fruit that grows and grows in leaves is very difficult to see because it is covered by leaves that make it survive the target of people.
“You are a girl who has never felt a man's liking. And you grew up to be this beautiful in a remote village that people rarely see. Until finally came Rendra who put the taste after seeing you in the village. Rendra who came from a very far away island found the girl who captivated her heart at the end of the island. There is nothing wrong with your feelings. Neither Rendra nor you. You have every right to be happy with your soul mate. If you are destined as his soul mate then no matter how far you run or how strong you refuse him will still return. God always has a way to unite every couple who have been betrothed.”
I was speechless hearing Umi's long uncharacteristic saying. But, I still do not understand how Umi's decision. Should I be clear to be sure?
“Try to tell Umi, how did you feel near Rendra?” still looking at Umi who was smiling at me again.
“Looks like he's a bad guy, Umi.”
Umi's forehead wrinkled, “Not good how?” ask Umi curious.
“He brings disease to Cut. When nearby Cut often feel tightness in the chest and difficulty breathing, Cut's heart also beats very fast.”
This time Umi laughed a little louder than usual. “It's not a disease but a love from your heart for Rendra. O Allah, you are truly fruit in leaves.”
“Do you like that? Like a disease alone.” I grumble myself.
“In such an way. You will have a hard time sleeping if you remember him and will smile yourself if you can see him.”
“Smiling by yourself? Like crazy if so.”
“Because if we like our guy like a madman who keeps thinking about him. Eating bad sleep was not good.”
“But Cut is delicious if eating and sleeping is also good.”
“Ih...if you like the same Rendra can make crazy better not to.”
“That's how it should be, likes and hates don't overdo it. The affection for someone is quite just the same even though the husband himself. Because overdoing it is not good. So how? Do you want to accept Rendra's proposal this time?”
Umi's question made me realize that Umi was investigating me in her way.
“Do Abu and Umi approve if Rendra and Cut get married? Will Umi and Abu join Cut?”
“Cut, Don't overload Rendra with our presence. Everyone who wants to build a household would want to organize and inhabit it alone without anyone else let alone parents or in-laws. Long before you asked about this, Umi and Abu had already talked about this together. Umi and Abu agreed if indeed you marry later, we will remain here raising Teuku.”
“But, Cut can't be far from Umi and Abu. Let alone Teuku, he will definitely look for Cut. After all, why did Abu and Umi talk about this without Cut's knowledge? Cut is not necessarily willing to accept Rendra.”
“So what if he comes to propose? Should Umi and Abu refuse to return?”
I stared confusedly at Umi. “Istikharahlah! God willing you will find the answer to your worries.”
“Alright, from tonight itisharah until you are absolutely sure. Umi and Abu will discuss this with Rendra if he comes. Ask Allah earnestly, for only Allah is all-knowing what is best for his servant.” I nodded slowly and Umi left my room.
Two days later...
Tok.dok...
“Assalamualaikum.”
A voice of a man saluted.
Abu who was relaxing afternoon with us while eating fried bananas woke up from his seat.
“Alaikumsalam, please come in! Coincidentally Umi Cut makes fried bananas.”
Gleck...
Two days not seeing him what's with my heart? This is what Umi meant. Geez why doesn't it feel so good? Why am I trembling and why should I be ashamed? He's a nobody but what's going on with me? It turns out that liking is not fun.
“Cut, make coffee for Nak Rendra!”
“Not bother, Abu.”
“Uncomplete taste of eating fried bananas without accompanied by coffee.”
I got up from my seat and rushed to the kitchen. I heard Abu and Rendra talk from the kitchen.
“Nak Rendra, when can we return to the village? Ash has missed the village, rice fields, fields and livestock there.”
“Sorry Abu, we haven't found Khalid. It would be very dangerous for Abu's family to go back there. Since Abu has already discussed this matter first then I don't want to mince words anymore. I came this afternoon to reapply Abu and Umi's daughter. And I also intend to invite and Abu, Umi and the little Rendra certainly to the island of Java. I want Abu kinsmen to live there and Insha Allah is safer than here.”
From behind the kitchen wall I could only sigh at Rendra's words. Abu himself did not respond directly to his words. What was Abu thinking? Does Abu agree?
If you digest back what Umi said that night I don't think Abu will follow what Rendra wants. Can I part with both my parents? Living in an area I never imagined. Why am I suddenly afraid? I leaned against the wall of the kitchen and turned my face up.
“Yes Allah, give your instructions..”.
