Honey For Amira
About Gus Farid

Tonight, a young man remained silent in his room. After finishing the prayer, the young man went into his room. As usual, the prayer beads were still in his hands. He still looked dhikr by holding the prayer beads.

On the sidelines he recited, the knock on the door from outside the room sounded.

"Mas... Mas Farid." exclaimed a woman from outside Gus Farid's room.

Gus Farid came down from his bed. After that he walked over to open the door.

"Husna, what's wrong?" ask Gus Farid.

"Mas Farid has eaten yet?" ning Husna asked her sister.

Gus Farid just shook his head.

"Yes, Umi is waiting for us in the dining room. Let's eat Mas!" bring Ning Husna.

"Yes." Yeah."

Gus Farid then walked following his sister into the dining room.

Yes, Gus Farid is the grandson of a kyai owner of a famous boarding school in his region.

His father died when he was a child. He was raised by his mother, grandparents. And now there are only grandparents and mothers left. Her grandmother died five years ago.

Gus Farid was the eldest of two children. His sister was named Husna, and was commonly called Ning. Because he is still a descendant of Kyai Hanafi.

Ning Husna was married, she was married, ahead of her older sister Gus Farid who had not been married to date. He had entered the head of three. Gus is now 31 years old, and he is neither married nor single.

Five years ago, before Gus Farid's grandmother died, Gus Farid had been willing to marry a woman, and the woman was one of the students in the boarding house.

But the marriage failed, because one day before the wedding, a tragic accident befell Gus Farid's future wife and made Gus Farid's future wife died at the scene.

Since then Gus Farid has been feeling bad. And until now, Gus Farid is still traumatized by the incident. Gus Farid was not willing to accept another woman in his heart.

Gus Farid and Ning Husna were already in the dining room. While their mother Umi Zahra was still struggling in the kitchen preparing food for dinner for her two children.

"Where is your husband?" gus Farid asked Ning Husna.

"Still ngajar santri, in the front hall, why after praying Mas Farid even go home? why don't you help my husband?" ask Ning Husna.

"I'm not feeling well on deck anymore. It was right in the mosque my eyes were very sleepy, so I went straight into the room."

"Oh. That's the devil's temptation too. Satan loves the temptations of man. Especially if we want to do good as if we want to pay for example."

"Yes anyway. "

"Would you take your medicine?" ask Ning Husna again.

"Not yet."

Moments later, Umi Zahra walked over to her two children in the dining room.

"This, the food is ready," said Umi Zahra while carrying a bowl of vegetables.

Ning Husna smiled.

"Mi, sorry Husna yes, Husna can not help Umi much" said Husna.

Umi Zahra smiled.

"It's okay."

Ning Husna got up from her seat. After that he walked to the kitchen to help Uminya bring the food to the dining table.

"Kakek Hanafi is still in the mosque?" gus Farid asked Umi Zahra.

"Lho, you don't know, Grandpa is sick again. From yesterday he was sick, and did not want to leave the house" Umi Zahra explained.

"Oh..." Gus Farid mangosteen understood.

After all the food was ready on the table, and the two children Umi Zahra was already sitting in the dining room, Umi Zahra looked at her two children alternately.

"Farid, Husna, Umi call grandpa first huh. Who knows if he'll eat with us here" Umi Zahra said before leaving.

"Yes Mi" said Ning Husna.

Umi Zahra then walked to the room Kyai Hanafi who is none other than his father-in-law.

After her husband died, Umi Zahra took care of her two in-laws until her children grew up.

Umi Zahra also has no intention to have a new husband, because she always hopes to still meet her late husband in heaven later.

Arriving in front of Kyai Hanafi's room, Umi Zahra knocked on the door.

Tok tok ..

"Assalamualaikum" said Umi Zahra.

"Wa'alakiumsalam," a greeting came from inside the room.

"Just enter Zahra" Kyai Hanafi pinta told his son-in-law.

Umi Zahra slowly opened the door to her father-in-law's room. He smiled when he saw his father-in-law.

"How is Abah's condition?" ask Umi Zahra while approaching Kyai Hanafi.

"What's Zahra doing?" ask Kyai Hanafi.

"Change, I've prepared dinner for Abah."

"It's not good to eat Zahra anymore."

"Of the truth, Abah must eat. You can get sick if you don't eat."

"Where is Farid your son?"

"He's in Abah's dining room. He's waiting for Abah. "

"Zahra, get Farid here."

"Now Bah?" ask Umi Zahra.

"Non't now, if he's eating. I want to talk to him about something."

"Yes Abah."

"Yes, you eat first. Keep your kids eating."

"Yes Abah. Have you taken your medicine yet?"

"Udah. Abah just ate a little bread for the wedge of the stomach."

"Oh, yeah. Zahra go first Bah. Get well soon, Bah."

"Yes." Yeah."

Umi Zahra then came out of Hanafi's room. He walked back to the dining room. Arriving in the dining room, Umi Zahra sat mingling with her two children.

"How's Mi?" ask Ning Husna.

"Your grandfather is still sick. He did not want to get out of the room" said Umi Zahra.

"Yes, we eat first Mi" said Ning Husna again.

"Yes." Yeah."

Umi Zahra, Gus Farid and Ning Husna then ate together.

After finishing her meal, Umi Zahra looked at Gus Farid.

"Farid, after eating, you will go to your grandfather's room, yes" said Umi Zahra.

"Why are you doing Mi?" gus Farid asked on the sidelines.

"Grandpa you want to talk he said to you."

"Oh, yes Mi."

"Would he want to mate Mas Farid with a woman" chirped Husna who made Gus Farid look at him sharply.

"What do you mean?" ask Gus Farid.

"At that time, Grandpa once said, if he wanted to find a mate for Mas Farid. Who knows, I'm also married, when did Mas Farid get married?"

Umi Zahra seemed to think. He then looked at Ning Husna fixedly.

"Husna, are you sure about that? do you know which woman your sister wants to marry?"

Ning Husna just smiled.

"I don't know Mi either. It's just second-guessing" said Ning Husna. After that, he returned to eating his food.
