Hanan had silenced her mother a day ago as well as Gus Rohid. Umi Tin felt increasingly unsettled since last night Hanan refused an arranged marriage and dared to oppose it.
Tonight after the Maghrib prayer Gus Rohid plans to take Hanan to the house of Mr. Wibowo without going home first. Gus Rohid really kept his promise to meet the parents of the girl who had been proposed to the child last night.
"Well, don't we need Mom's permission first?" hanan asked as they walked out of the mosque
"Just let your mother, occasionally giving lessons to realize her mistake and not repeat itself, not only did you Hanif feel guilty until now, he said, but Abah also felt that he had failed to become a priest as well as being your parents, lucky that Khusnul dared to strongly oppose your mother's wishes elegantly according to Abah" said Gus Rohid smiling at his youngest son.
"Did Abah agree I proposed to my employer's son?" hanan asked as he retreated his steps slightly back due to his respect for his brother.
Gus Rohid stopped and turned his head back to see his son who looked down on his shoulder and spoke.
"Of course, already feel failed with your first marriage, this time Abah does not want to fail again, Abah, whomever your choice Abah agrees as long as he can accept Abah's child because God is not because of carnal lust alone" Gus Rohid assured the child.
Hanan looked up and smiled, he was really happy to get his brother's blessing.
"A ready? we go there now, remember as Abah said this afternoon if we go there, let his son who gave the decision, Keisya will accept or refuse you must be airy, if later Keisya asked for time, Keisya said, you have to wait patiently, getting married is not a matter of splinters but a matter of how to unite two heads at once with the advantages and disadvantages of each" advises Gus Rohid.
Hanan nodded steadily at his brother's advice.
"Alright Abah, but still Hanan feels odd if not saying goodbye to mother" said Hanan
"Yes there you say, Abah wait at Mr. Anom's house there is a need for a little" Gus Rohid allowed Hanan to see his mother.
Hanan turned towards the house, while his father continued his steps to the house of one of his neighbors.
Hanan went into the house but the conditions were quiet, usually after Maghrib his mother would be busy in the kitchen making dishes for dinner, but this time it did not sound anything from the direction of the kitchen.
"Assalamualaikum ma'am, where's mom?" call Hanan looking for his mother into the room but nothing, to the kitchen, to the Hanif mas room, Khusnul mbak room, to the family room, to the back kitchen also did not find his mother.
Hanan returned to the living room and saw his mother enter the fence with two large bags of Snack and fruit as well as several boxes of bottled drinks.
"Mother where? shopping a lot?" hanan asked in surprise.His mother was silent for a moment staring at the face of her son who looks bright tonight.
"Where are you?" ask Umi Tin without responding to the child's question
"The house of Mr. Anom, there is a need to say, where is the mother from? why do you shop this much?" hanan asked again while taking a bag from his mother's hand.
"You save and arrange all the Snacks and fruit into a white box, then put it in a paper bag, as soon as possible enough to make souvenirs for Mr. Wibowo, later bring a car even though it is not good if you take this much food in the view of the neighbors" said Umi Tin without looking at the confused child.
"Yes, I've changed clothes first, you ready everything to enter the car, the key is on the table near the television" continued Umi Tin passed leaving Hanan still glued in the living room.
Hanan blinked many times trying to convince his hearing, while Umi Tin had already passed into the room. arrived in the room he wiped away the tears that he had been holding.
If this afternoon he had not contacted his daughter and asked her many things about the past marriage of his eldest son, he might not have realized his mistake all along.
Hanan was right, her youngest child was right, if the late Rurin's first son-in-law died of uterine cancer which she had hidden for years from her parents as well as Hanif. Although the marriage of his eldest son was fairly short but the son-in-law had many wounds because of the selfishness of his parents as well as himself as in-laws who were too demanding.
umi Tin sobbed in silence as much as she could hold her voice so as not to be heard by the child. Umi Tin really regretted her mistake. He used to force Rurin to accept his proposal without him knowing that Rurin was waiting for someone to propose, even with the coercion of her parents, Rurin finally accepted and the man she was waiting for finally came to propose six months later after she officially became Hanif's wife.
Unfortunately, the man who proposed to him was also expelled violently by his parents at the time and had a fatal accident on the way home.
Rurin hears of the death of her lover drop immediately knowing that the man she had been waiting for was frustrated to hear Rurin was married and also expelled violently by Rurin's parents.
To Khusnul his sister-in-law he told her everything a week before his departure, Rurin harbored regret and guilt for hurting the man he had been waiting for before Umi Tin came to propose to him at that time.
Hanif also just found out Rurin's disease after Rurin's body was buried. Khusnul told his elder brother everything without any of the ones he covered.
Regrets still come behind, after hearing the truth of the story from Khusnul, Umi Tin is increasingly overwhelmed with guilt.and she is afraid that if she keeps putting her selfish forward, Hanan will also leave her like her two brothers. Hanif decided to stay quiet outside the city to keep the feelings of his wife and child, likewise, Khusnul who went directly to Egypt with her husband a month after marriage and planned to return and live outside the city as well as far from the same parents as Hanif.
Umi Tin never realized if all this time his two children felt uncomfortable living close to him. this time Imi Tin did not want to hurt Hanan the only child who had never once refused his wishes even though he himself felt unable but Hanan remained silent and obeyed all his mother's wishes.
"I'm sorry mother le, mother is wrong, if it is the son of the conglomerate that is your choice, mother accepts" the inner Umi Tin wiped her tears.
Umi Tin immediately confirmed the location of her hijab once she heard Hanan's voice calling her from the living room.
"Yes for a moment, this is another pinprick" said Umi Tin and then went into the bathroom washing her face so as not to look like she had been crying.
Hanan stuffed the paper bags into the trunk and had enough of the car while waiting for his mother to get ready.
"Awhile I forgot the back door" cried her mother from the door.
"Hem habits" inner Hanan.
Moments later, her mother got into the car and sat in the passenger seat. Hanan chose silence not to ask much, he deliberately gave his mother time until the woman who had given birth to him was willing to open up again.
the car drove slowly leaving the courtyard of the house.until in front of the house Mr. Anom apparently the Abah was waiting in front of the fence of the owner of the house that looks closed.
"Will there be anyone, Bah?" hanan asked as soon as Gus Rohid came in and sat down on the seat beside the steering wheel.
"Newly taken to the city hospital with his son, has been two days sick can not wake up" replied Gus Rohid.
Hanan was just making a scene while focusing on the path in front of him. the closer to the big road his heart is pounding but Hanan remains relaxed until the car is really parked in the spacious yard of host Wibowo.
They welcomed the driver to the family and took them inside the house.
"Who is Bin?" ask Keisya from the kitchen.
"There is a guest lady, Gus Rohid with his wife's child" Bintoro replied politely
Degs...
Keisya's heart immediately pounded, lucky that the father immediately entered right then and there from the back door because he had just put firewood into the small cottage.
Keisya silently looked at the father who was also confused by Keisya's sudden attitude like a possessed person.
"Lord there is Gus Rohid and his family came to visit" said Bintoro. just wanted to ask Keisya, the driver had answered him first.
"Yes, wait a minute I change clothes first, kei, make a drink yes" said Mr. Wibowo
