even though I don't know what will happen in the future I will just surrender to him, and entrust everything to God..
"today he has taught me a lesson that will never be forgotten ! " say the professor
"what is that ? " say I asked
"god will always give me according to my intentions, until when I find fault in something, I know something is wrong in my intentions !" he said while smiling happily at me.
from that day on I understood one lesson that had occurred, that there were two possibilities that we were separated by someone we loved - the first, would be replaced with a better one.
second, he came back in a much better version.
from that day on I met him less often, but more often to tell each other, so many stories happened that day, in addition to the professor telling me about how he converted to Islam, he also told me all about himself and his family background, and the plan of the professor wanted to apply for me immediately.
while waiting for the good news, he and I lived each other's lives for a while.
until one day my uncle came home, and on that occasion, I immediately told him something that had not been conveyed to him for a very long time.
"om ! there's one thing I want to ask you about !"
"yes ! just ask !"
"emm .. if I marry first instead of what ?! " many
"no way, you have to go first and get married !" answer me firmly
"do you have a candidate ?"
"already ! "
"lih !"
"do not believe it is already !"
"seriously om !?"
"yes !!"
"in that case, I'll just wait for the good news !"
"basic boy ! "
"oh yes om, if you can not long ! om aji is no longer young !! " say I'm getting stuck
"yes, I know ! " he said annoyed
***
short time, 6 months later om aji was married, and this is a good news that I always later in his presence.
at that time professor Hajun also came to the wedding om aji not to forget he also brought a wedding gift that he had prepared far away.
when the event has finished the family took pictures with the bride and groom, the event went so festive and luckily everything went smoothly.
after the event was really over I and the professor sat together in a park. Nothing changed a bit from us, but somehow the conversation this time felt very awkward for me.
"how are you mira ?"
"my news is good ! if the professor ?"
"i am also good, and now I am getting busy !"
"your family is there .. can you accept you now ?" said I asked
"alhamdulilah already, even though at first everyone refused me to return to be one family, but as time went on it all came back to the way it was !"
"thank God, then ! "
"if you're feeling, how is it ?" ask the professor
"what is my feeling ?"
"about your feelings for me ? is it still the same as it was then ?"
at once I blushed in shame and covered my face with the end of my long hood
"it's the same ! " answer me
"when do we catch up with them ?! " said the professor as he glanced at the uncle
"following what ?"
"bikin' a rich wedding today ?!"
"just wait ..! "
"when will ?"
"next year !"
"is that not too long .. What if next month ?!"
"why must the hunt !"
"because I am married, you don't want to ?"
"yes want .. but isn't it too soon ?"
"i don't think so, if the wedding is, we do it in Korea !"
"but I am an Indonesian ! I can get married there ! "
"can you really ? "
"yes I can ! you promised me that time, you no longer pretend to forget, right ?"
"about ?"
"settle there !"
"i forgot to mention prof !"
"automatically if you want to stay there you have to be a citizen there, you are ready ?"
"god willing I am ready !"
"okay !"
"prof !"
"hmh !"
"i'm getting married later ! can the professor's family accept me there ?"
"before that time I told you, if my family had accepted me to be part of his family again, so automatically they will also definitely accept you as our new family member !" professor
"but what is not uncomfortable prof, we are different religions with the professor's family ! "
"are you afraid we're gonna live in a house with my family ?"
I nodded slowly too
"quietly, I have my own house there !"
"oh that apartment right ?!"
"isn't that anymore ? I've moved to a bigger one than the previous one !"
"why before ?"
"what is nothing ! just still looks a bit narrow right if for both !"
"the time ?"
"the bottom line is I've moved and I've bought a new house ! that's it !"
"oh, oh !"
"we just had a conversation, but my time is up !"
"do the professor want to go ?"
"yes .. sorry yes mira .. I have to go back to Korea again !"
"we just met !"
"yes how else !"
"my job is there, if I go back and forth to Indonesia waste money dong !"
"doesn't professors still teach on campus ?"
"it's just a side job !"
"side job ??"
"already yes mira ! I have to go now if not later I missed the plane ! " he said
"yes prof, be careful ! " i said who also did not want to keep him here any longer
"i go first ! you take care of yourself here no where, just wait for the good news from me next month ! " she said while stroking my hijab
"yes !"
"oh yes send greetings to om aji ya mira !"
"yes yes ! "
then while walking the professor looked back and immediately gave the knot of heart on his finger to me, looking at his funny behavior I laughed and then returned the knot with my finger as well.
after a long separation, time just brought us together in a matter of hours, and after that we had to split back for a long time.
"mir ! where's your girlfriend ?" ask om aji
"just left !"
"go away !"
"why om ?"
"i wanted to eat with my family ! his yam also did not invite him from earlier !"
"so I was wrong !"
"yes you, sneak in here we eat together !"
"hii the newlyweds are fierce !" said I'm getting sucked
he's gone . and I'm alone again..
finally I felt again, reciprocating messages then accompanied by a smile of my own smile and after that longs to soar.
