Mahabbah Longs
CHAPTER 14: Again and After

Mr. Farhan who saw his wife arrive with a grim face, and also Nur with a swollen face, went into the room without greeting, confused and wondering.

"What happened to you guys?"

"Obviously, our shirked neighbor."

"I mean bune, what tho? ... I don't understand."

"Who else if not Retno ma'am. What a no-no about Nur. Just make it hot."

"Rully, Bune. Let your anger go."

Not until Bu Farhan entered, from the outside was heard the screams of the twins Novi and Noval.

"Assalamu'alaikum .... Grandpa, Grandma."

Mom Farhan's face turned cheerful. He turned around to welcome his grandchildren with joy and warmth.

"Wa'alaikum salam ..., Novi, Noval. Here's Grandma's hug."

Gaining a warm welcome, the two ran, scrambling for the first hug.

"What time do you leave. This is already bad"

"Hour 02.00pm." replied Nadya tired.

"It just so happens that Hamdan has a need in Yogja. Yes ... You guys drove us." he continued.

He walked towards the chair, resuscitating his back. The journey may not be too far. But enough to make his body tired.

Nur who heard the crowd, immediately went out of the room. I forgot to wash my face.

How happy his heart when brother Nadya and nephews have come as promised time.

"Gulf aunty dong dear." she stretched out both her hands. Prepare to hug both of them who ran closer.

"Tante really misses you guys. How's your school?"

"Yesterday Novi and Nova have finished munaqosah juz 30."

"Graduating?"

"Pass dong." they answered in unison.

Their arrival had indeed driven away the gloom that momentarily rested in Nur's heart.

"Nur why are your eyes soaked?" nadya said when she realized that Nur's eyes were red, like crying.

Nur smiled looking at his sister. His mouth has not yet spoken. Bu Farhan has already gone ahead.

"Occustomed to the front neighbor. There's just the way."

"Oh .. I mean mother. Miss Retno."

"Who else," Bu Farhan seemed to want to spill his anger. If only Nur hadn't prevented it.

"Already, Mom. I'm sorry."

" Here clean your bodies first. Aunty wants a good masakin for you."

"Yei .. fun." shouted Noval and Novi simultaneously.  They followed her umminya to the bathroom.

While Bu Farhan and Nur went to the kitchen, preparing breakfast.

It doesn't take too long to get everything ready at the dinner table. And ready to eat.

Everything is now gathered around a large dining table. Enjoy breakfast together. No exception to Farhan's mother and father.

"What time is Nur coming?"

"God willing after Isa'"

"Means there's still enough time to welcome him."

"They're not much, brother. Only four of them. Don't want to be crowded."

"But if we prepare that's better."

"Yes, Brother."

Remember that Hamdan must also immediately go to Yogja to finish his business. Nadya immediately took a bushel to prepare her provisions. Of course with the cuisine available.

Maybe this is what makes Nadya can cook. Hamdan prefers to bring food from home. Than to buy outside. Though it used to be not asked ... he .. he .. he ....

"Ummi, abi go first."

"Yes, Abi."

"Where are the kids?"

Brother Nadya immediately called Noval and Novi who were still relaxed on the seat, finished her milk.

"Noval, New. Here ! .. Abi is leaving!"

The two of them immediately moved from their seats, approaching his ashes waiting at the door.

"Don't be naughty, help umi. Shalih sholihah abi."

"Yes, Abi."

Both get a kiss of love and prayer in their crowns.

After the happy ritual, Brother Hamdan departed with a face of sumringah. Although his body was a bit tired. But it looks excited. Brother Nadya and the children queue it up invisible from sight.

There's nothing special we do to welcome the event tonight. Just some ingredients don't have yet. So Nur had to buy it at the shop at the end of the village.

"This is it, brother."

"Yes"

"You guys buy it so you can go back and forth again"

"Snap , Bu."

Nur passed from before them, about to pull out his metic motor from the garage. Without him noticing, Novi followed him from behind.

"Tante, where are you going? .. Novi's coming with dong."

Wah ... if you invite one of the others would want to come too. It certainly can't be fast. Her thought. Not to mention later if queued, would have bothered dech.

"If Novi comes along, who helps umi and grandma. That ummi wants to make a cake. Later you will not be part. Spent the same Noval."

"Yes, auntie stingy."

Nur so a smile saw his nephew sulk.But still he left him. Despite the grumbling gazes of his nephew.

True also Nur's guess, it turns out the people in line to get the goods. Understandably, it was the only shop in Nur village.

Perhaps today was the most fateful day for Nur. Morning has met, here must meet again with Miss Retno.

Astaghfirullah .... Sadar Nur .. consciously .. accept it. Try again in patience.

Not wanting to make a fuss Nur immediately picked up some needed items and queued up to pay for them.

"Meet us again, Misser" he said sneering. His words were not so good this morning. But that was enough to make Nur's mood uncomfortable

"Nur, I saw your house rame. Are you really going to propose?"

I don't know what the word Retno, expressed by sneering it. Nur did not answer.

"There's nothing, Miss Retno. Only brother goes home with his sons."

Then another mother approached them.

"What's up Retno. It looks really sewot. What because of Nur nolak mother's son's proposal?" his words were clear, but he did not know who was listening ...

Look Retno's face becomes red.

"Ich .. who would take her ghost. His descendants are not clear."

Hearing that sentence, Nur's heart was very, very sad. Plus it was discussed in public. Nur really felt uncomfortable. But his heart was strengthened so that he could be patient.

Why the news about Anwar's rejection of Nur's proposal, quickly spread. Nur never thought, who spread.

"I'm sorry, Mom."

"nr ... Nur , why should I apologize. You're not wrong. But is there really nothing?"

"I mean mother?"

"You're not doing anything forbidden, are you?" tanyanya seriously. Confused to not know what to say.

"Nur took refuge from such a thing, mother."

"Thank you, Nur. I believe you." said Haji Shodikin, stroking Nur's hijab. Make the heart Nur added plong.

"Oh yes Nur, yesterday I received a call from someone. Today I want to come here. May this be a happy thing for Nur and his family."
