Since the accidental meeting between Andi and Yumna, they never met again until now. But some time ago, Andi sent a message through wassap to Yumna. The man was supposed to visit Yumna's house.
Yumna tidied up the house that looked less neat. Because he hasn't broommed since morning. Before that, Yumna had also cooked food and snacks that became a habit of Yumna. Bottle jars that are usually full of snacks purchased or made, now appear empty without any contents. Therefore, Yumna makes some easy snacks and also does not need to take a lot of costs.
Everything Yumna did was done. The woman chose to clean her body, because it was not pleasant to smell. Sweat is quite a lot out of Yumna's body because of a lot of activity. Wearing a matching robe and hijab. The woman looked beautiful with a liptint polish and a little powder that she used to use. Although no longer young, Yumna still looks very beautiful.

A handsome man was driving his car to a friend's house during his school days. The man put a faint smile on his lips. He looked very happy because he was going to visit the house of the woman who had once entered his heart.
Leisurely without hurry the man drove his car. Splitting a highway that doesn't look too crowded. By whistling the man imagined meeting the woman who once filled his heart. He was too happy, even very happy. Whether the feeling is still there until now, which is clear Andi still feels like an ABG child who will meet his girlfriend. Andi did not know the feelings she was feeling now.
The car that Andi was driving entered the Yumna house. Parked his car on the wide-looking street. The man opened his car door and pulled out his long legs to stand on the ground.
With a small bag that does not know what it contains. With that spirit the man walked towards the entrance. The door seemed to be tightly closed.
Geck...
Geck...
Geck...
"Assalamu'alaikum," The stern voice said a slightly loud greeting.
There was the voice of a woman known to Andi. Answer it from inside the house.
Chequek...
"Let's go to Ndi" asked Yumna, who was taken by the man.
Andi stared at every corner of Yumna's house. Looks comfortable, not even a minute Andi has felt the comfort in this house.
While Yumna to the kitchen to take drinks and snacks. There was no way Yumna would just let her guest sit down without giving her a drink. Although there is no snack, enough with tea water or even water if there is nothing else.
The woman carried a glass of sweet tea and a snack on the tray. Put sweet tea in front of Andi then open a snack that is still tightly closed.
"Let's drink Ndi," said Yumna invited Andi to taste the sweet tea and snacks he offered.
"Alright Yum," Andi replied a little awkwardly.
The man took the sweet tea in front of him and tasted the sweet tea that his tongue felt. After a sip back Andi put the glass on a small plate, where he originally took the sweet tea.
"Where is your son Yum? how come it wasn't visible?" andy asked curiously. Even though today is the weekend, of course there will be no scheduled lectures on campus.
"Not yet to return home, because last night he stayed at his father's house," replied Yumna with a smile. "Maybe it will be soon" Yumna told the man.
"Yes Ndi" replied Yumna. "Oh yeah, why don't you bring your wife or kids here? why alone?" Yumna looked curious. Though Andi could have brought his wife or child to accompany him to visit Yumna's house. But what he saw was himself. Like no one has a wife or children. Yumna quite shook her head with her own thoughts.
"My wife's been dead for a few years now Yumna. And during my marriage I did not have a child from my marriage" Andi replied. Yes it is true that he has no children with his late wife. Though when he was married he hoped quickly to have a child, but the destiny of God said another.
Yumna was silent to hear he said Andi. He regretted his thoughts a moment ago. It felt like Yumna was eager to hit her head which with her youth thought so without knowing the reason first.
"Ahhh sorry Ndi, I don't know. Sorry to make you remember your late wife and make you sad" Yumna said.
Andi shakes. "It's okay Yumna. I probably won't keep thinking about it either. There I was even sick and even stressed with something that I would no longer be able to reach" replied Andi with a smile. There's no way he's gonna dissolve in grief, just because his wife died. The universe still gives him to enjoy his beauty and it is possible that God is providing a wife for him someday. Who knows someone's destiny.
"I'm mi-one more"
"Mother's Assalamualaikum," A person's voice was heard as he entered the house after opening the door. Yumna's words were cut off because of the voice of her bachelor son who had come.
"Wa'alaikumsalam," Yumna and Andi answered simultaneously.
Ali who heard the male voice instantly turned her body spontaneously. The shoes he had just picked up he quickly placed on the shoe rack. Look at the grown man sitting in front of his mother.
The young man's long legs quickly stepped towards his mother and greeted her hands with reverence. Sitting next to the sanv mother with a questionable look to Yumna.
"Make that your school-time friend, honey. His name was Om Andi," Yumna introduced Andi to her only child.
Ali looked straight at the grown man in front of him. "Familiar with my name Ali, Om," Ali thrust his hand at Andi.
Andi welcomed the handsome young man's hand with a smile. Then he mentioned his name to Ali. Andi then went home, because he also had a sudden need that might not be delayed. Moments after the introduction with Ali, the flat object in his pocket shook, as a message came in. Andi immediately read the message. Because the message was very important, so Andi immediately went home and gave the bag he had brought to Yumna.

After Andi, now sat the mother and child with staring at each other. Yumna's forehead wrinkled as the son looked at her with an unusual gaze.
"Why?" Yumna frowned because the son felt a bit strange after the arrival of Andi to their home.
Ali shakes. "If I see that Om likes Mommy" Ali said making Yumna bully her eyes. The child is just there. Andi just went to his house. The response time of the son of the problem there.
"You don't be weird, honey, anyways Om Andi was a friend of the mother when she was in school. There is no way she likes mother," said Yumna who disagrees with her son's words.
"I can see from his gaze to Mother. Not the gaze of a friend or anything but the gaze of a man to his woman" said Ali. Ali simply noticed Andi's gaze to the mother earlier while talking. Even from that look was a flash of love. Ali knew about it, because Ali had been in the position of Andi. He can't be wrong with what he says.
Yumna was quite surprised by her son's words. It seemed that Yumna did not believe the words of the son. But if his son's words are as true.
Alun looked at the Mother who was only silent to hear her explanation. "Had my words been right, and one day Om it would have bedeviled my Mother no problem. Her first happiness to me. Mostly enough during this time Mother is alone, and I quite know for sure Mother wants a companion who will accompany the Mother's old days later."
