Honey For Amira
The Arrival of Gus Farid

This afternoon, Mr. Husen's family was gathered in the living room. So did Amira and Laila. They also seem to be at home this afternoon.

Right now, they were all leisurely sitting in the living room. In the middle of the conversation Pak Husen and Bu Rahayu, suddenly the ringing of Mr. Husen's cell phone surprised them all.

"Sir, there is a noise" said Novi.

Mr. Husen then took his cell phone that was on the table. He looked at the new number calling him.

"Who are you, sir?" ask Amira.

"don't know. New number" replied Mr. Husen.

"Have a good hand sir. Who knows it's important" Pinta Bu Rahayu.

Mr. Husen then raised the call from the new number.

"Hello Assalamualaikum."

"Wa'alakiumsalam. Is this Mr Husen's number ?"

"Yes. Is correct. I'm Husen. If you can tell, who is this?"

"I'm Farid. Kyai Hanafi's granddaughter."

"Oh, astaghfirullahaladzim. Sorry Gus, I don't know Gus's number. So I thought who. What's up Gus?"

"I'm now at the terminal near my father's village. Can anyone pick me up? I'm confused about going to your father's home address."

"Oh.. Gus fast. I think Gus's arriving tomorrow."

"No Sir. I'm already at the terminal."

"Yes, later I will be picked up to the terminal ya Gus."

"Yes sir."

"Yes Gus. I want to get ready first. Just a minute, Gus. Assalamualaikum."

"Wa'alakiumsalam."

After hanging up his phone line, Mr. Husen looked at his son's wife and granddaughter alternately.

"Who Sir?" ask Ms. Rahayu.

"Guses. Gus Farid's. It turns out he's at the terminal."

"Oh yeah?" said Ms. Rahayu looking at her husband's face. He then looked at Novi and Amira.

"Gus Farid turned out to want to come here too," said Bu Rahayu.

It seemed that he was very happy to hear the arrival of Gus Farid. Because Bu Rahayu the one who supported her son the most was married to Gus Farid.

Amira quiet.

I got to the terminal. Why is my heart so uncomfortable like this. Very different first, when I wanted to meet Mas Farhan first. I feel like I'm so insecure about meeting Gus, the inner Amira.

What Gus Farid is. In the photo, he is very handsome. Will he be more handsome than in the photo? geez, I'm so impatient to see Gus's face, inner Novi.

It seems Novi is also curious about Gus Farid. While Laila, she was still silent. I don't know what he's feeling right now. Laila did not like to hear the news of Gus Farid's arrival.

I don't know Gus Farid. What if he's gonna be a dad, connect me. I'm not comfortable living with him. If Umi wants, I want Umi to marry Pade. Or Umi back again with Abi. I don't agree with Umi with Gus, because I don't know Gus, Laila's mind.

Husen got up from his seat. After that he looked at his wife.

"Bad to get ready, Mom. Go to the terminal and pick up Gus."

"Yes Sir. I'm waiting at home, sir."

Mr. Husen nodded. He then went to his room to get ready.

****

An hour later, the roar of Mr. Husen's motorbike was heard from outside the house. Mr. Husen got off his bike with a handsome young man who was none other than Gus Farid the grandson of Kyai Hanafi.

The purpose of Gus Farid came to Amira's house, because he wanted to ta'arufan with Amira, like what his grandfather had already observed who was currently sick.

Actually, Gus wants to reject the match, but because he does not have the heart of his grandfather who really expects him to marry and wants Gus to marry Amira, finally, Gus wants to go to Amira's house to ta'arufan first with Amira.

For Gus Farid, the problem of the soul mate is already there to regulate. If he is a match with Amira, God willing God will unite them both. But if there is no soul mate for them, Gus is sincere and wants to be in touch with the Amira family.

"Gus, let the father bring his bag inside."

"No need sir. I can bring my own bag."

"Nothing Gus. Here I bring the bag."

Mr. Husen just grabbed Gus Farid's bag of clothes. He then hurriedly carried the bag inside the house.

Arriving on the front porch of the house, Gus Farid stopped his steps. He then said his greetings.

"Assalamualaik."

"Wa'alakiumsalam" replied Mr. Husen.

"Let's get in!" Husen invited Gus Farid inside.

Arriving Pak Husen and Gus Farid in the living room, Amira, Laila, Bu Rahayu and Novi looked at Gus Farid together. They were stunned for a moment when they saw Gus Farid coming.

"Assynolt,"

"Wa'alakiumsalam" said Bu Rahayu, Amira, Novi and Laila simultaneously.

Bu Rahayu smiled as she hurriedly approached Gus Farid. While Laila, Novi, and Amira were still silent while staring at the face of Gus Farid close. I don't know what they're thinking right now.

Gus Farid is so cute. Much the same in the photo, more cute original. But why should he be betrothed to Mbak Amira. Why not the same as me, inward Novi.

I don't deserve to be with Umi. He was so young. Not really, have a young Papa like that. No wonder how it feels to have a young Papa, handsome again, Inner Laila.

"Gus, please sit down Gus. Coincidentally, we all gather here again," said Bu Rahayu invited Gus to sit down.

Gus Farid smiled. He then sat down to mingle with Mr. Husen's family.

"Gus, don't call if you want to come here. I thought, Gus is coming tomorrow," said Ms. Rahayu.

Gus Farid just smiled.

"Yes Mom. Grandpa told me to come here quickly."

"Why is Gus alone coming here? not a friend or a brother?" ask Mr. Husen.

"Yes Sir. Grandpa is sick. And Umi also has to take care of grandfather. Husna, too, is busy. So I went here myself. The important thing is to get to the destination safely."

"Yes that's right. If men have to dare to go alone," Novi chirped.

Gus Farid's sight fell towards Novi. He only smiled a little when he saw Novi.

Novi extended his hand.

"Oh yes Gus, my name is Novi. I'm her sister, Ms. Amira," Novi said.

Gus Farid just cupped into his two hands in front of his chest. He doesn't want to shake hands with Novi.

"Yes. I'm Farid.'

It seems Novi forgot that he is Kyai's grandson. So how could Gus want to shake hands with a woman.

Novi who felt embarrassed, and did not feel good on her own, finally pulled her hand back.
