Only I Love
Chapter 33

"Hum-Humaira?" ask the man she helped.

Ala frowned. The man's voice was very similar when Syauqi used to call his name. However, as a Muslim woman, Ala prefers to subordinate her views to the opposite sex. Plus, the opposite sex is already married.

"Good, lah. I'm back there first." Ala nodded her head even though she did not see for sure who she had just helped.

"Thank you, Auntie" said the boy.

"Together." Ala left the father and son.

"Humaira ... Humaira ... Have you forgotten me?" The man called Humaira's name again.

"Well you know that aunt?" ask Baim, his son.

The father could only show off his sorrowful look. He was reminded of the past, where he had just woken up from a coma after an accident.

He could not hear, could not see, and his rigid tube could not be moved. After that, he was just like a statue that could do nothing. At all times, he called Humaira's name ..the wife of a soha who was secretly betrayed by him. However, from the moment he woke up, he never again felt Humaira's touch and embrace.

After installing a hearing aid, he found out that Humaira had demanded a divorce from him. He who can't do anything, can only accept a one-sided decision that he knows too late.

Not only that, Salma left. Because, he was just a statue could do nothing but cry and regret all the things he had done. To his knowledge, Salma gave up a six-month-old baby.

"That's your son! Take it! I can't take care of him. I will marry a handsome man who can give me anything I ask. Now, find your Humaira! But, I doubt it. Whether he'll take you back, or don't know you anymore. You yourself would be surprised to see your reflection in the mirror if you weren't blind!" he said at a high enough volume. He deliberately said so, knowing that this man had a hearing loss.

Syauqi looked nervously shaking his head. "Salmas? Why did you leave me too? Doesn't this happen when we mix love? Where is the love you say I'm the only one you love?"

"Have you forgotten, it was you who made me betray my wife. You're the one who seduced me, and you're the one who got me hooked on what a real romance is, until midnight I'm willing to chase you all the way there."

"That's it, Bang! Don't tell me the time I regretted the most in my life. If you hadn't gone to my place, I probably wouldn't have limped like this!"

The atmosphere was only filled by the sound of baby crying in the hands of Syauqi.

"You don't leave him! He still needs you to ASI get!" syauqi said he could not bear to hear the baby's cry.

Suddenly, the sound of the baby crying stopped, then one hand was pulled holding a bottle.

"She I never gave breast milk, since birth drink formula, so you can take care of her. It's already! I don't want to argue anymore! I'm asking for a divorce! We're just marrying Siri, aren't we? So, there's no need for me to bother taking your divorce to court."

Then, the atmosphere was still there was only a baby who began to calm down asleep in Syauqi's lap. He realized that Salma had left, but left a deep sense of regret.

"Abi?" The son shook Syauqi's body making her aware of the daydreams and regrets of a lifetime.

'For God has given me very painful karma. Humaira, before you forgive me, I won't be able to feel calm. Can I still expect you to carve the story back?'

Ala who was working on her Pesantren Cottage duties in the room, was startled by the vibration of the mobile phone from an unknown contact. His forehead shriveled and his head slightly looked down trying to guess whose contact it was.

"We're not teenagers anymore, are we? If this isn't a playful call, he'll call me back." This time Ala chose to ignore the call to continue her work.

drrrttt

drrrttt

His phone shook again and Ala pulled the green button on the flat screen.

"Assyndus ...."

📲 "Walaikum salam warrahmatulli wabarrakatuh."

Ala kept the phone away from her ear because it was a male voice. He again noticed the sequence of contact numbers listed.

📲 "Hello? Where's diem?"

Ala put the phone back in her ear. "Sorry, I don't keep this number in my phone contacts. So, who is this?"

Ala scratched her forehead feeling awkward and confused. Suddenly, his mouth opened in remembrance of many cases and exactly like this. Later he pretended to be our acquaintance, telling us to guess, and whoever we guessed was justified.

Without saying anything, Ala pressed the red mark, and the call was over. "Huuuff, lucky yesterday had time to watch a case of kayak gini. Apparently, this time I was the target of their target. Astaghfirullah al'azim .." he rubbed his chest several times.

After feeling a little calm, Ala continued her work as a manager of the Pondok Pesantren Foundation, Abi. He is checking the list of nutrients and nutrients for santriwan and santriwati food for the next month.

Drrrtt

Drrrttt

Ala saw the contact was still the same as the previous one. However, this time he chose not to lubricate it and throw the phone on the mattress so as not to interfere anymore. Ala continued her work.

The door of his room was knocked on and without any orders, from the outside of the door handle of the room was pulled. Alya's face appeared, the sister who was opening the door was not too big.

"Union, is Alya bothering you?" peek.

"Why Lya?" tanya Ala turned her chair around and did not mind accepting her brother's presence.

"city ... Union ... Is there anything else that deket same Uni?" ask the sister to sit on the bed. Then, he saw his sister's cell phone light on realizing there was an incoming call, because it was shaking. He immediately handed over the phone.

"Let it!" ala shook his hand.

"Whose name?" ask Alya.

Ala just put her shoulders and looked at her sister. "Tell me, what do you want? Someone wants to marry you, right?"

Alya smiled awkwardly, shyly. "But the Union don't worry, Alya will wait for Uni to marry again. Only then, after that it was Alya's turn. Or are we just together??"

Ala smiled faintly shaking her head. "If she already has good intentions to marry you, you don't have to postpone it until you wait for Uni to get a mate. Please he faces Ummi. It's all right." Ala approached the sister sitting next to her holding onto Alya's shoulder, smiling modestly.

"But, Un?"

"It's okay. Especially if you know each other. And, in fact we are not recommended to be close to the opposite sex. The courtship is non-existent, there is only ta'aruf. Hurry up and direct your marriage! Than saving sins?"

Alya scratched her upper head slumped awkwardly. "Well, Alya will immediately tell Ummi and tell him."

"They will accompany you." Ala and Alya face the mother.

But his mother objected. "Your union hasn't got a soul mate yet? Poor her?" Ummi.

"Ummi, the soul mate of Ala is still the secret of Allah in the heavens. Here, Alya is closer, don't be rejected." Ala tried to convince her mother.

Ummi's body, which had been stiffened, now began to slacken. "Ummi is only afraid, if you 'stepped' your sister, making your soul mate further and further into the seventh heaven," the mother murmured.

"Ummi, that's just superstition. At that time, Ummi believed? That soul mate, only God knows. We do not know the secrets of Sustenance, Fools, and Kemati4an. All the secrets of God that cannot be changed." Ala kept the mother cornered.

"Ah, you? Always been like this? Ummi could no longer speak. Yeah, tell your candidate Alya. We'll set a date to come and ask for your candidate." (Adat Minangkabau, a family of women who came to propose a future husband. )

At the end of the week, the Ala family group came to the groom's house. He helped in this event to bring the pastuak (ketan plus chicken opor) to hand over to the family of the bridegroom.

"Lho's? How come the bride is coming?" ask one of the prospective family marapulai (bride) when Ala handed over the past.

(In the custom of Minang, prospective children daro\=bride, not allowed to participate in the application event)

Ala chuckled at the question. "No, Ma. I'm the sister of his future son Daronya."

"Why, Ma?" asked a very handsome and handsome man who appeared from inside the house.

Ala flinched as she saw who had appeared from inside there. "U-da Rafatar? So, Uda's getting married to Alya?" ask Ala.
