Letter from Sarah

On Saturday, Rony immediately prepared to go to Kampung Kelapa. He waited for Sarah at the mosque according to their agreement. Waiting and waiting .. until adzan dhuhur reverberated, Sarah never came.

After the dhuhur prayer together in mushola, Rony immediately left Kampung Kelapa with a mind full of question marks. He was very sure that Sarah was not a woman who broke her promise. It must have something to do with Jacob, that's what Rony thinks right now.

Arriving at the border of Kampung Kelapa, a voice heard someone calling to him.

"Omm Rony!"

Rony stopped his vehicle and a boy hurriedly ran over. The boy then handed her a white envelope.

"Sorry, Om Rony, huh? This is a letter from Sarah's mother." Rony nodded and smiled. He felt amused to be called "Om".

"What's your name?" rony asked as he received the white envelope from the boy.

"Ikhsan, Om."

"Where to?" Rony wondered why Sarah had sent him a letter.

"Sarah's mother apologized for not being able to keep her promise. Jacob was away and at home. Sarah's mother had asked permission but could not go with Jacob. Finally he pretended permission to the shop and asked me to send this letter to Om Rony."

"Are you sure I'm Rony?"

"That's sure, Om. There is no one whose face is as handsome as the Arabs in our village. I've seen Om at the mosque but I'm afraid that someone will see me giving this envelope to Om. That's why I'm waiting here for Om because I'm sure Om must have come home this way."

"Well, I got this letter, yeah. Thank you to Sarah. Then I'll go home now."

Before leaving, Rony took one blue note from his wallet. He gave the money to the boy in front of him.

"This is to buy snacks, please accept, do not refuse. Think of it as a thank you for helping us."

"Thank you, Om," Ikhsan replied with sparkling eyes.

Rony continued the journey and drove his motor matic quickly. He was impatient and wanted to read Sarah's letter immediately.

Arriving at home, he immediately opened the white envelope and sat down in the living room. He read a piece of paper containing very neat handwriting.

Assalamu'alaikum, Brother Rony.

Sorry, brother, I can't keep my word for a reason. It seems that I also could never help Rony delivered to Kak Tasya's house. Brother Jacob began to restrain me and he would not let me go unless he was accompanied by Brother Jacob himself.

With this letter, I just wanted to convey something I already knew. Brother Rony actually no longer need to investigate about the son of Tasya. Brother Jacob himself once admitted that Kak Tasya's son is not the biological son of Rony.

Sorry if I didn't tell this to Rony earlier. My plan is to let Rony know for himself.

That's info from me. May Brother Rony not be angry with me nor with Brother Jacob. Hopefully with the news that I convey, Rony is no longer curious and can calm down.

Assalamu'alaikum ....

Sarah.

"Goddessa ...."

Rony immediately made a prostration of gratitude on the living room floor. He was very grateful to Sarah. Indirectly, Sarah has lightened the heavy burden that is in her heart and mind.

If he had Sarah's phone number, Rony would have called the woman. But he doesn't know it at all. Maybe from now on he will never see her again. Suddenly Rony became sad when he remembered the writing in Sarah's letter earlier.

"Is that Jacob's possessive to his brother? It's so sorry Sarah. I'm gonna try to help her get out of her brother's arms." Rony promised himself. Even if he's not sure it will work, he will try.

"Hemm, so Tasya's son isn't Big Brother's son? Thank God Rony knew without having to investigate. I hope you can calm down now" Riko said after reading a letter from Sarah.

Tonight Rony's staying at Riko's house. Tomorrow's Sunday, they'll be attending Clara's wedding together. Rony showed Sarah a letter to her sister.

"To put it bluntly, now I'm the one who doesn't think about Sarah. What should I do to help her?" Rony asked Riko's opinion.

"Help her?" riko did not understand.

"Son Rony don't look for trouble, man! Just leave him like that. Jacob will only intend to take care of his sister," said Riko disagreed.

"Pity him, Riko. Sarah is no longer a child or a teenage girl. He's an adult. Jacob should have believed in his brother. Sarah also seems to be a pious woman who can take care of herself."

"Hemm .. There are secretly idols of Sarah." Riko laughed at her brother.

"Review you, Riko!"

They laugh together too. Throw each other sofa pillows in the family room. Naila who was walking towards them, only shook her head looking at him. However, in his heart was happy to witness the scene before him at this moment. The two brothers who were once hostile, are now familiar again.

"It turns out that adults joke more than children, yes." Naila said while sitting next to her husband.

"Sorry, yes, Naila. You are disturbed by his rest" said Riko and immediately apologized to his sister-in-law.

"It's okay, brother, just relax. I'm still not sleepy either, anyway" Naila replied with a friendly smile. She felt bad for her brother-in-law, because of her attitude a few days ago.

"Eh, brother, I have an idea. What if you propose to her?" Riko's question made Rony laugh bitterly.

"I could have been kicked with Jacob. He threatened me not to go near his sister" replied Rony.

"That's exactly it, brother. If Brother Rony proposed to him and asked Mr. Hashim for help, Jacob would agree immediately." Riko gave Rony some advice. She was sure her brother really liked the woman named Sarah.

"Yes, if you agree, thank God. If there is rejection and commotion, pity Sarah. I don't want to embarrass a woman."

"Sir Rony really likes Sarah, huh. Caught now ...."

Rony threw a pillow at his sister. Riko just laughed. Rony then approached his sister and hugged her.

"Thank you, Riko. I'm so happy, we can joke like this again. If I can be honest .. I don't want to propose to Sarah."

"Lho, why, brother? Is it because of Jacob?" ask Riko wonder.

"It's not so .. I'm not going to propose to her but I'm going to marry her immediately."

They laughed again and Naila just smiled at the behavior of the two. He doesn't even want to know what they're talking about. For Naila, seeing them as they are now, has made her happy.

"Tomorrow we leave at what time, dear?" riko asked after they had entered the room.

"Four ten only, yes, Mas," Naila replied as she tidied up their beds.

"Alright, we invite Mr. Supri and Bi Marni as well. I told them the same. Bi Marni, let's sit with you. Tomorrow you don't have to go back and forth, yeah. Just sit down, let Bi Marni get you some food or drink." Riko doesn't want his wife tired after the party.

"Keep you won't let me?" naila asked and immediately stared intently at her husband.

"I have a couple of clients who came to Clara's show. Maybe I'll meet them for a while and discuss a little work. That's why I'm asking Bi Marni to come along, let you have a friend." Riko approached Naila who looked irritated and stroked his wife's cheek.

"Related work. Come to the party to do the work too. Would I rather be home?" Riko smiled at Naila's words.

"Don't do it, honey. Just for a minute, really. After that we will take a walk wherever you want," said Riko persuaded his pouting wife.

"Really, huh?" asked Naila with a glittering eye.

"Yes .. Where are you going?"

"I .. I want to eat meatballs in front of Clara's wedding hall." Naila's reply made Riko wrinkle her forehead.

"Why do you know that in front of the building there's a meatball stall?"

"Know, dong. The meat is delicious, the sauce is delicious. I used to go there with Daf ...."

"Daffa?" sahut Riko cut off his wife's words.

Naila just nodded. The pleasure of making himself lost.
