After getting a phone call from the village, Aya's hand shook violently in disbelief.
"Inalallahi, O Allah," said Aya who could not hold back her tears.
Mama Salamah who heard Aya's screeching voice went straight to her room.
"Darling, what's wrong?" asked the worried Salamah mama to see Aya suddenly crying a mouthful.
"Grandmother, she has died mah," said Aya who could not resist her sadness.
"Inalillahi wa innailaihi roji'un, who is patient, dear, we just pray that your grandmother is accepted by her side. Life dies there is a regular, we who are left must be steadfast and patient," said Mama Salamah trying to comfort Aya.
"Hik. hik... Aya could not see the face of the grandmother for the last time" said Aya who could not do much because they were still in Arabia.
"Darling, more we now immediately complete our task here so that we can quickly return. Yea?" Mama Salamah is still trying to calm Aya down.
"Hiks, hyks, yes mah" said Aya who tried to calm herself.
..
Under the Ka'bah, Aya prayed that her late grandmother be accepted by his side. His grandmother was the only family who loved him the most, but now he has gone to leave her.
..
After only 3 days in Arabia, they decided to go straight back. They canceled a scheduled sightseeing event. Their plan will be a week in Arabia. But with this disaster, they decided to return quickly.
While packing, mama Salamah approached Aya who still looked sad.
"Darling..?"
"Yes, mah?"
"Are you still thinking about your grandmother?"
"Hemm, Aya just felt like everything happened so fast, mah. Aya always loses people Aya loves and loves in a state where Aya is still very unprepared to lose them," he said.
"Darling, life and death are indeed almighty secrets, we cannot choose when the human being should die. Add your heart dear, you must remain firm and live our lives steadfastly."
"Yes, mah. Thank you very much for accepting Aya as part of your family. Aya doesn't know, what Aya should do without you guys."
"All is destiny, dear. You are here too it is the destiny of the almighty. Now, you also have to think about your destiny and Vishnu for the continuation," said mama Salamah trying to remind Aya about Vishnu who wants to propose to her.
"Mamaaaah," whined Aya shyly.
"This ring. If you can accept him, wear this ring. He's got a very good intention, honey. Mom and dad will always support you."
Aya stared at the beautiful ring with a haru feeling. Aya does not believe, if at this time Vishnu is where most likely they will be able to unite.
"Well, can Aya wear her ring?"
"Of course it's a pity, it's okay to wear it.."
With a pounding heart, Aya wore the ring slowly. The tears could not be that Aya could stand anymore.
Mama Salamah gently wiped away Aya's tears gently.
"May you be happy with her, dear."
"Amin, thank you for everything." Aya hugged Mama Salamah very tightly.
Tok...
"Mamaaah, Aya, are you ready yet?" asked Mr. Maher from the door.
"Yes paaahh!! Already, a minute .." Mama Salamah immediately picked up Aya's suitcase and carried her out.
"Dear baby, papa called. We have to hurry so as not to miss the plane" said Mama Salamah.
"Yes, mah."
...
Now Aya's heart was steady to accept a man to be made a priest in his household.
Although he thinks this is too fast, but it cannot be denied if actually faster is better.
..
Long story short, now Aya has been buried the grandmother along with Vishnu.
Aya prayed and sprinkled the fresh flowers of her grandmother's still wet cockroach.
"Sir, forgive Aya who did not accompany Grandma at the last moment. May Grandma be calm there and happy together with mom, brother, grandpa. Aya will always pray for you." Aya looks tough to say good-bye.
"Grandmother, grandfather, Abah, mother, here I want to ask for blessing to ask Aya for me to make a wife. Abah, Abah just calm down, I promise I will make Aya happy with love and affection," said Vishnu made Aya smile in disbelief.
"Ak, isn't it too fast?" ask Aya.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" ask Vishnu back.
Aya just smiled unmoved.
"Yes...?" call someone from behind.
"Bibik, uncle?" Aya surprised.
"Our family is now our only home. Bibik and uncle apologize for all our bad attitude towards you during this time" Bibik said sincerely.
Aya hugged her aunt to let go of the deep longing. This is truly the happiest thing. Bibik and his uncle had always been hostile to him just because their brother left when giving birth to Aya.
"Hik.hik... Iya bik, Aya also apologized if Aya had done a lot of wrong," said Aya crying must be embraced by the Bibik.
..
Now Aya and Vishnu are in the house of the late grandmother.
Without further ado Vishnu immediately asked for the blessing to marry Aya.
Previously, Aya had told everything to her aunt and uncle what had happened to her household with Rey Maher.
"Yes, may you be happy with Vishnu. The past let it pass. Bibik pray that you can be a family that is very happy with warahmah along with Vishnu."
"Amiin, thank you very much Bik for his prayer. Inshallah Aya will often play to the village if there is a chance," said Aya.
"Yes, neng. Yeah, I'll be hunting tonight. Be careful on the road."
"Yes bik. Uncle, Aya said goodbye, assalamualaikum.."
"Greetings ..."
When already pocketed the blessing, now Vishnu and Aya returned to the main house. All preparations will be made at the main house.
Vishnu deliberately did not bring Aya to his house, because Vishnu intended to bring his parents to propose Aya.
In the car they just kept quiet. Sitting position, Aya was in the back seat. Aya just focused on staring at the window while daydreaming. Every now and then Vishnu looked at Aya from the rearview mirror, Vishnu felt like there was something with Aya's sad face.
"Yes, if indeed you are still in doubt about our relationship, I will not force it" said Vishnu suddenly.
"What do you mean, ak?" ask Aya who was surprised.
"If you're not ready, I'm not papa" he continued.
"Ak, it's not that I'm not ready. Only, is Abah unable to accept me? Aya is a widow at the moment" she replied.
"Ooww so you've been daydreaming about that? You take it easy Aya, Abah just as Umi has blessed our relationship. A'ak already talked about this to them," said Vishnu.
"Really, Ak?"
"Yes, Aya. now it's better to just rest, later if it's up will not wake up."
"Yes, Ak. I was also a little tired because I had finished coming home from the Arab village. It's not papa if I stay rested?"
"Yes Aya, no papa," replied Vishnu with a smile.
.
Long story short, now they have reached the main house.
Aya and Vishnu get out of the car.
"You're home yet?" greet Mama Salamah and Mr. Maher. They didn't come because Mr. Maher had a sudden affair.
"Ah, yes Aunt. Oh yeah, I'm going home right away? here's the car keys, um. Thank you, om" said Wisnu returned the keys to Mr. Maher's car.
"Sama-sama son of Vishnu. Is Vishnu not going in first?" ask Mr. Maher.
"Ah, not om. It's just about magrib. Vishnu went straight back to the contract," replied Vishnu politely.
"Yes so, yes already be careful on the road," said Mama Salamah.
"Yes Aunty, Om, I say yes, assalamualaikum.."
"Greetings ..."
Vishnu finally with his motorbike went from Mr. Maher's house.
"Yes, go in yuk?" mama Salamah.
"Yes, it's mah .."
"How's it?" ask mama Salamah.
"Emm, a'ak said in a week she will bring her parents here to propose to Aya, "Aya replied timidly.
"Alhamdulillah, the sooner the better, Aya," said Taun Maher.
"Yes pah.."
"Yes, you take a bath first mama called for dinner" said Mama Salamah.
"Okay, Aya's in the room first, huh,?"
"Yes dear ..."
..
Master Maher and mama Salamah smiled at Aya's happiness. However, they were also actually sad because they had to lose a one-satuny child. Rey never showed her face in front of her parents. Although Master Maher had said, yet far from the bottom of his heart, he wanted to see his son come to persuade him. Unfortunately, that hope seems to be in vain.
