Honey For Amira
Two hearts are hurt

This afternoon, Farhan was still in the living room. He has been silent since. His eyes stared at the screen, but his mind seemed empty somewhere.

A while later, the sound of Galih's greeting was already heard from outside the house. 

"Assynolt,"

A few moments later, Galih came into the house. Arriving in the living room, Galih stopped his steps.

"Farhan, where's mom?" ask Galih. 

He sat down near Farhan. 

Galih looked at Farhan's face. Farhan is not as usual. He looks very upset right now. Farhan did not answer the greeting from Galih because he was so busy he daydreamed. It seemed that Farhan did not feel the presence of his brother. 

"Farhan, what's wrong with you?" ask Galih again. But Farhan who was spoken to again was silent. Makes Galih a little upset. 

"Woi…!" galih said while patting Farhan on the shoulder a little hard. 

Farhan surprised. He then directly looked to the side sitting down. 

"Mas Galih,"

Galih smiling.

"Why you? why is my face in that bend?" ask Galih. 

"I'm okay, Mom. Just a little disappointed."

"Why disappointment?" 

"It turns out Amira already has a future husband," said Farhan who made Galih surprised. 

"What! have a husband candidate? how do you know about that Farhan?" ask Galih. Looks like Galih doesn't know about it yet. Because Amira has never told Gus Farid about Galih. 

"Today I'm from Amira's shop. And Amira herself told me that she was talking to Gus."

"Whose gus? all this time Amira never said anything to me. Then, why are you going to Amira's shop?" 

"I'm going there, giving money to Laila. But Laila said it was school again. That's why I left Amira."

"What are you talking about with Amira?"

"I talked a lot. I even asked to refer to him."

Galih was surprised. 

"You came there to refer to Amira?" 

Galih's face suddenly changed upon hearing Farhan's words. 

Farhan did not refer Amira, but did Amira want to refer back to Farhan. And what about my heart. As long as I love women, I've only ever felt my heart hurt like this. Because the woman I love is my own ex-sister-in-law. And since that rejection, I have not been able to forget Amira, Galih's inner being.

Now, it's Galih's daydreaming turn. Her chest felt tight when she heard that Amira already had a prospective husband.

"Mas, why Mas?" farhan asked when he saw his brother daydreaming.

"Mas Galih…!" farhan said with a raised tone of voice. 

"I'm fine" replied Galih. 

Galih then turned his body towards Farhan and looked at Farhan fixedly. 

"Are you sure Farhan was with what you said just now? are you sure Amira has a husband?" tanya Galih wanted to make sure once again that Farhan's words were true.

"Yes. Amira wants to be betrothed by her parents to a grandson boy Kyai. And he said he's still a bachelor."

"Have you seen that guy?"

Farhan. 

"Amira is an honest woman. He never lied about everything he said. If Amira has said that, it means that Amira already has a prospective companion in life," said Farhan.

Laila and Amira are currently behind the shop. They still seem to be talking. After school, Laila did not go straight to her grandmother's house. But he stopped by the store first. 

"Umi, is Umi sure, want to marry Gus? Gus is too young for Umi?" laila asked while talking to Amira. 

"Why are you asking like that Laila? don't you know, if your grandma and grandpa made Umi's match with Gus."

"Umi, is Umi in love with Gus?" 

Amira quiet. He then looked at Laila fixedly. 

"Love?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"If it is, Umi cannot answer Laila. Because Umi also still knows Gus."

"Did Gus love Umi?"

"Umi doesn't know Gus' feelings either. But Gus wants to give Umi to be his wife."

"Umi, don't Umi want to start older than Umi?" 

Amira stared at Laila sharply. Actually Amira did not understand the meaning of Laila's questions. 

"You mean? you asked Umi to dance with another man? you already know that Gus is good. He loves you too. Not necessarily, other men who want to nerima Umi and nerima you like Gus. And Gus can also be a good priest for our family. He's kyai's grandson, and Umi doesn't doubt his science and faith anymore."

"But.." Laila hung up her words. For some reason, from the first time I saw Gus, Laila disagreed with Amira and Gus. 

"That's it, no need to buts. Gus is still young, but he can be a good father figure for you. And that Gus is also my grandson, he's more pious than your Abi."

"Umi Deh. But Laila does not agree Umi married Gus. Umi is not worthy of Gus. Because Gus is younger than Umi."

"Lho, Laila, you're talking like that. There is nothing wrong with the age difference. The Prophet Muhammad married a widow, older than him. The Siti Khadijah. Why can't Umi marry Gus?"

"The age difference is not a problem for Laila. As long as Umi and Gus were married because of God, nothing would be a hindrance to us. Because our parents both agreed. If it's a love problem, it can present itself. In the past, Umi same Abi you married also because in a match. And that love was present after we got married."

"Is Umi still in love with Abi?" ask Laila. 

Amira was silent.

"What do you mean you ask that?"

"I want Umi to come back again with Abi. If not, then marry Pade. Pade is very good with Umi. He has sacrificed a lot for us, if Umi could just look at Pade. And Pade also loves Umi."

Amira was shocked when she heard Laila's words. 

"Where do you know about that?"

"I heard Pade's conversation with Umi at the time. And Pade has also shot Umi twice. I know that too."

"Ja-so you already know, Pade's feelings you."

Laila nodded. 

"Yes. Pade's in love with Umi. And I was disappointed, why Umi preferred Gus, a new person Umi knew, rather than choosing Pade who was clearly no doubt his love.  If Umi doesn't pick Pade, at least give Abi a second chance." 

Amira is completely unexpected with her son, even though she is still a child, she turns out to know everything about Pade and Abinya. And Amira was puzzled as to why her son would prefer the two men over Gus Farid.

"But sorry Laila, Umi will still marry Gus, because this is the mandate of Kyai Hanafi. And this is also a request to two of Umi's parents. Umi does not want to disappoint your grandmother and grandfather. Because Umi wants to serve them."

"It was up to Umi, but until anytime Laila still disagreed with Umi married Gus. Laila just wants Umi to marry Pade or refer to Abi again. Because only those two men Laila agreed to marry Umi."

Laila got up from her seat. After that, he left the shop. 

Amira can only shake her head with her selfish son.
