God's Choice of Mate
The fruitless arrival.

We were all in the car and ready to head to the Imandar family home.

This time Reno's brother who drove the car replaced Pak Budi who sat quietly beside Reno.

Meanwhile, Ummah and I were in the second seat and Wirda was sitting behind me and Ummah with Bik Inah.

Fariz was sleeping in his seat car.

On the way home, I still saw facial expressions full of anxiety and worry in the look of Ummah and Wirda.

And several times I also tried to gently wipe the fingers of Ummah to calm him.

Ummah looked at me with a small smile in an expression of anxiety that he was trying to cover from me.

The journey home we went through went smoothly without any obstacles. And a few hours later the car driven by Kak Reno has arrived the home page of the Imandar family residence.

We all said hamdalah.

So did myself who felt very happy to be back in this house.

Mr. Budi first went down to help Wirda and Bik Inah lower Fariz from the seat car.

I also prepared to go down. But my eyes were fixed on Ummah who was still glued in her deep daydream.

"What is Ummah?, "ask me while gently rubbing Ummah's fingers.

Ummah looked back at me.

However, this time Ummah rubbed my face affectionately.

"It's okay, baby, " replied Ummah with a smile forced on me.

I looked at Ummah's face full of worry as well. Because I understand what makes Ummah feel depressed.

" Is Ummah still worried about Rani because Rani and Kak Reno decided to go home and see Kak Roy and his daughter?, "ask me slowly.

Ummah nodded her head and clasped my fingers.

Brother Reno who heard the conversation of myself and Ummah immediately turned to us and smiled at me as well Ummah.

" It is better now that Ummah goes inside with Rani to rest. Surely Ummah tired after a long journey, "said Brother Reno trying to divert the burden of Ummah's mind.

Ummah shook his head and now looked seriously at Brother Reno.

" Reno, whether your decision and Rani to visit the Roy family home residence can not be canceled. Ummah felt that something was not good if you met. Please think about your decision.

Ummah did not want if Rani to get hurt and sad again Reno, "say Ummah a little restless.

Brother Reno looked at me for a while then let out a short sigh.

"Ummah, " said Brother Reno deeply.

Ummah and myself also looked into the face of Brother Reno simultaneously.

"God willing, everything will be fine Ummah. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala knows better whatever is good and bad in the life of Reno and Rani, ", explained Reno.

Ummah fell silent while sighing after listening to Brother Reno's words.

I immediately invited Ummah to get out of the car and into the house.

Meanwhile, Reno and Pak Budi took things out of the trunk of the car and were assisted by other household assistants.

Arriving inside the family home Imandar Abi and Enjid welcomed us all with joy.

After meeting with Abi and Enjid.

Wirda immediately headed into the room to put Fariz to sleep.

While I, Reno, Ummah, Abi and Enjid are still chatting in the family room while enjoying the warm ginger milk made by other household assistants.

After an hour of talking to everyone. I also say goodbye to clean my body while resting. Ummah did the same to me. While Kak Reno is still busy talking to Abi, Enjid and Pak Budi.

----

The next morning Reno and I were getting ready to visit Roy's house.

But this time Ummah did not allow myself and Brother Reno to go alone.

Mr. Budi and Ummah also participated with us. Meanwhile, Wirda, who was accompanied by Bik Inah, remained at home to keep Fariz, who was still exhausted by the long journey. Meanwhile, Abi and Enjid go to work to see and check out the company as well as some important work.

On the way to Roy's house.

Ummah continuously showed her anxious face. Although I have repeatedly tried to calm Ummah. But still my efforts failed because of the excessive fear of Ummah towards me was really embedded in his mind and heart.

Several times oral Ummah asked Kak Reno and myself not to continue our intention to both visit Kak Roy and his daughter. But with the relaxed, polite and calm attitude that Brother Reno shows can always break the anxiety of Ummah. Although not long after that the anxiety that Ummah felt would appear again to the surface of his heart.

And I could only silently look at Ummah's face while gently rubbing her fingers.

Not long after the car driven by Mr. Budi has arrived at the residence of Kak Roy's house.

Like before when we were all preparing to go down. Ummah still feels heavy and difficult to move his legs out of the car. Until I had to persuade Ummah while rubbing his back. It was only after that that Ummah was willing to get out of the car even though I knew he did it with a sense of urgency.

Pak Budi and Kak Reno brought some hands that I deliberately prepared for Rani and Kak Roy. I hope they will like my gift.

The closer to the entrance of Kak Roy's house the tense and anxious face of Ummah is more clearly visible.

I quickly grabbed Ummah's hand and repeatedly rubbed his arm.

It did not take long until we were all in front of the main entrance of Kak Roy's house.

Where we arrived all were immediately welcomed by Kak Roy's domestic assistant who immediately invited us all to enter the house.

I, Ummah, Pak Budi and Kak Reno sat waiting for the arrival of Kak Roy and his daughter in the living room of his house.

Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes passed until almost thirty minutes passed. We are all still waiting for the presence of Kak Roy and his daughter who has not yet arrived.

"Is Roy at Bik's house?, "asked Kak Reno to Kak Roy's housekeeper who was arranging food and drinks on the table.

The housekeeper nodded softly, "Son Roy is inside Nak Reno. He's getting ready. And please wait for a moment like Nak Reno with others to taste the food and drinks that I have presented a tabletop film. "

"Yes Bik. Thank you, "reply Sister Reno as she gazes at the passing of the housekeeper's aunt who passed away.

After waiting a few minutes, however, he returned. Roy hasn't shown up yet and is showing signs of his arrival.

Ummah also looks increasingly upset and agitated.

"Until how much longer we're here and waiting for Roy to come baby, "Ummah told me.

I nodded and understood what Ummah said.

Because I also felt that Brother Roy really wanted to buy time to be able to meet all of us.

While rubbing Ummah's back slowly I also said to Ummah to wait for the arrival of Kak Roy. But if in a few minutes, Kak Roy also did not come to see us. So I told Ummah that we could all leave the residence of Kak Roy.

Ummah, Brother Reno and Mr. Budi also agreed to the advice I gave.

And sure enough after about ten minutes passed, Kak Roy also did not show any signs of his presence.

Until the time when Kak Roy's housekeeper who welcomed our arrival met us all again.

With a pale face and like fear.

He did not dare to look us all in the face. He only said an apology if at this time Kak Roy and his daughter are not ready and want to meet with us all, especially myself.

Listening to the words conveyed by the housekeeper Kak Roy really makes Ummah look more upset and angry.

"What's this why Roy played us all?.

If from the beginning he didn't want to meet with all of us he shouldn't have made us all wait for him like this" Ummah said.

I also tried to calm Ummah by immediately taking her away from the residence of Kak Roy.

But the resentment and disappointment that Ummah felt first filled the cavity of the heart and mind of Ummah.

Seriously and carried away with emotion Ummah also said again to the household assistant Kak Roy.

"Bik please tell Roy. After this never once did he ask even to beg to meet my daughter Rani. Although for various reasons she will be the condition of girls who are critical. I have been kind enough and heartened to ask my daughter to sympathize with her daughter's circumstances. But after my daughter's good intentions and we're all here. Roy ignored us all like this.

Ckckckck.. It's outrageous Roy, " said Ummah at length with annoyance in his heart.

"Ummah. Istighfar Ummah, "my word reminds Ummah while pulling Ummah's body to immediately move away from the living room at Kak Roy's house.

Ummah refused and wanted to continue his words. But quickly and politely Reno reminded Ummah with his words that a little more can persuade the heart of Ummah to be destroyed. So that Ummah is ready to leave from Roy's house immediately.

However, before leaving the residence of Kak Roy's house. I also leave the hand that I bring for Kak Roy and his daughter to the housekeeper Kak Roy.

After that we all said goodbye to Kak Roy's housekeeping assistant and stepped away heading into the car again.

Sometimes I look back to see the situation around Kak Roy's house.

Until I accidentally found Roy who looked far at us all from the window of his house on the second floor.

However, when he found out I saw him quickly, Roy went into hiding and disappeared from my eyes.

I was surprised and a little speechless to see Kak Roy's strange attitude like that.

What really happened to him was that he was acting strange like this my inner self in my heart.

Reno immediately opened the door for Ummah to get into the car.

Then it was my turn to get in the car.

Before I got in the car for a while my eyes met with the sight of Reno. Where inadvertently our palms both hurt to meet and touch when my fingers hold the car door.

Brother Reno smilingly looked towards me while rubbing my head slowly.

Ummah who originally looked upset and angry now turned to smile and was happy to see the closeness of myself and Brother Reno.

And without me too Brother Reno realized.

Brother Roy from a distance continued to stare at the two of us with a look full of hatred and dislike.

Not long after, Brother Reno asked me to get in the car.

And I immediately obeyed his request.

Ummah rubbed my face affectionately as I was sitting next to her in the car.

Bruck.

Reno closed the car door and rushed into the car as well.

Not long after the car that was driven by Mr. Budi had driven away from the residence of Kak Roy's house.

In the car Ummah returned to his regret for the childish attitude shown by Kak Roy by making us all have to wait for him.

I also listened to Ummah's complaints while calming him with my words that can at least comfort his feelings that are still upset.

" It's okay Ummah maybe at this time Kak Roy is still hit by the departure of both parents. So that he was not yet able enough to meet us all at his home residence. we pray that Brother Roy and his daughter will be strong and able to pass the test that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gave them."

"Aamiin yes rabbal'alamiin. It is true what Rani said was Ummah. So Ummah did not have to think too much about Roy's attitude.

Reno believes Roy must be very shaken and very sad about the departure of his parents. For that we just give time for Roy to be able to calm himself first. So that he no longer refuses to meet with all of us in particular meet directly with Reno and Rani, " added Kak Reno with his words .

Ummah nodded and fell silent after listening to the words of myself and Reno.

We were all silent until unknowingly the car driven by Mr. Budi was almost at the residence of the Imandar family home.
