Love The Bule
Opening the sky door

Six days later.

Jhon Parktis no longer meets Tina. He is still here only because of his knowledge for Uthman and the project he will be working on to fulfill his last promise to Kiyai Magelang.

Jhon tried sincerely with Tina's decision.

Dret ... Dret .. Dret …

Jhon's phone rings with Alex's name.

“Halo.”

“Ck. Still in Magelang?” ask Alex to his best friend.

“Yes, I'll be here a long time, Lex.”

“Yes, I know. So now I am in Jakarta.”

“Serious?” ask Jhon not to believe.

“You how else? I can't possibly leave this branch office we've built just like that, while the leader ran away unclear because of love.”

Suddenly, Jhon laughed. “Sorry.”

“Nothing, sorry,” says Alex annoyed.

“Then your wife and child?”

“Yes, because I'm LDR with them,” Alex replied.

“Strength, Lex?”

“Yes, strong ga strong. Far from a strong child, but from a wife who is not strong.”

John laughed again. After a strange incident that occurred during the past week, Jhon finally can return to laughing and sincerely living his life again.

“Oh yes, how was the project you emailed yesterday about the signal booster tower? You're right – will really build it there?”

Jhon. “Yes. For these five days, I've been making details of his proposal. All cost and time calculations are there.”

“Ck. You'reinsane. It's a big cost, Jhon. Not to mention bureaucracy with the local government.”

“Yes, I know,” replied Jhon. “But I made an appointment with Tina's late father. Loyalty of a man – man is when he can fulfill the promise.”

“Superficial,” replied Alex literate. “Looks, long – long you will be a son of santri, Jhon.”

Jhon laughing.

“Oh, yes. My wife also wants to go there for alms, but baby twins still can not be invited to travel far.”

“It's okay. I'm sure Tina understands.”

Alex nodded. After talking for a long time, they hung up the phone. John can breathe a sigh of relief. The plan, after tahlil on the seventh night which will be held later tonight, Jhon will talk with Abid to start working on this project.

On the other hand, the family that Uthman had left behind was still in deep sorrow. When in the last few days after Uthman's funeral, Tina who slumped and often dumbfounded with a blank look, now Hasna.

Hasna is shocked and hysterical when she returns home and discovers that her husband has only one name left. Although since the hospital, Abid and Arafah have been a little mention of this truth, but still Hasna was shocked and hysterical. Especially when the middle-aged woman who for thirty-five years accompanied the husband and stood on top of the vortex, Hasna was powerless to be unconscious.

“Ummi.” Tina cried, and so did Arafah. Those who were all hit and began to accept fate, now again must be hurt to see the condition of his mother now.

****

“Ummi. Let's eat!” Tina went into the mother's room and placed the food on a small table on the bed Hasna had occupied.

Hasna, who ignored the plea, now began to respond. Hasna looked at her daughter's face. “Every living creature must die, as well as ummi. But why is it that heartache?”

Tina cried again and hugged her mother.

“Ummi knows this is destiny,” replied Hasna.

The hug loosened and Hasna rubbed her wet cheeks. “Ummi only takes itself a few days. And, God willing after this, Ummi will try to start the day without Abi.”

Tina's crying broke again. She hugged her mother and again apologized. “Sorry, Ummi. Sorry, Bira.”

Hasna also received the hug. Outside Hasna's room, Arafah and Zahra peeked. Munah also joined nimbrung. The three women also shed tears.

Meanwhile, in the living room Abid again received guests. Mustofa and Al came to say goodbye, because their purpose in this place was finished.

“Bid, how?”

After the last year, Mustofa returned to the house to talk to Abid and talk about Al's match with Bira two years ago.

“It's been seven days, Bid. Pakde wants to go home, Pakde pesantren cottage has long left.”

Abis raised his head and looked at Mustofa. “I'm confused, Pakde Yai. I have to decide what? In the near future, Bira does not want to get married first. Said he still wanted to be alone.”

“Yes geez. Shabira is old, until when will she be alone? He's been twenty-six years, right?”

Abid nodded. “But, I also can not force if the child does not want, Pakde.”

“What made Bira reject Al? my eldest son is educated, handsome, his morals charming, and we are worth it. Moreover, Bid?”

Abid understands very well. If the sister agrees, she will gladly become a guardian. But what do you want to say? Tina still refuses to marry and still rejects this matchmaking like two years ago.

“I can't force, Pakde Yai. Because Bira's condition is also still in a state of hit. I just don't want to force it, Bira will run away from home. I don't want that, Pakde.”

Muntofa breathed in roughness. He looked towards his son who had chosen silence. “Al, how's your reaction? You've already rejected Bira twice this.”

Al also resigned. He has forced the will to curse the victim, even though everything that happens is indeed of His will and has become His destiny.

“You are flanked again, Bi. Yes already,” replied Al pasrah.

“Trust me, Al. If the soul mate is not going anywhere. Once Bira's state is stable and she starts thinking about getting married, you can start taaruf.”

“Ck. Later, Bid,” replied Mustofa upset.

“Sorry, Pakde Yai.” Abid can only say an apology, for not being able to fulfill Mustofa's request. Abid is more concerned with the mental brother.

The next day, John began working on the project he had promised. Abid was pleased with the development of a project that would make his ponsok pesantren become more advanced and modern because it has technological sophistication.

Abid was enthusiastic when reading the proposal given by Jhon, after the return of Mustofa and Al. Abid only purely believed in Jhon who he said came to cooperate with Uthman before his father died.

John also fulfilled Tina's desire to stay away, although in fact they were still close because Jhon was still in the area, even though they had never met. Even Jhon and Tina did not communicate at all until a month had passed.

“Nduk, please give this fried banana to the worker,” Hasna said asking for help to her youngest daughter.

“Where to go, Mi?”

“Ke market.”

Tina breathed her breath. For one month, he was able to stay away from Jhon and now he has to come to the place to make the tower to bring food. Tina was worried that Jhon was there.

Unbeknownst to Tina, Jhon does often stalk her. The man sometimes settles to see Tina from behind a tree when the woman hangs her clothes or goes out with Munah to the market.

Honestly, John misses Tina very much. I miss everything in that woman. Will fate bring them back together? John only hoped to open the gates of heaven from every prayer he dedicated in the third night.
