Despite having told the child and those closest to him, Rahimah did not immediately give Abdar news about his decision.
It has been a week since Abdar's expression of feelings, but Rahimah never discussed it with the man.
He felt so embarrassed to express his intention to accept Abdar's proposal, so Rahimah always chose silence if the father of her child came.
Maryam who knew the news from Adit if Rahimah's marriage was canceled, was so enthusiastic to see the closeness of her brother and the mother of her nephew.
Even when it comes to teaching Intan, he always invites Rahimah to tell stories while waiting for Abdar to finish teaching.
"I heard from brother Adit .. mbak Imah, did not marry Ustadz Abizar?" mary asked hesitatingly.
Now they are sitting in the back garden after studying, accompanying Intan to feed a furry pet who likes to jump small with long earlobes.
"Yes, I'm not marrying him." Answer the honest Grace.
"I'm sorry, Iman, if I like to ask questions," looked at the person in front of him.
"It's okay, Mary." Reply Rahimah with a smile so that Maryam does not need to be unkind to her.
"Pas I know about it, it turns out Abdar's brother also already knew first he said. Ish ... I was immediately angry with Brother Abdar because it did not tell me the same story," said Maryam fiery.
Rahimah gave a smile while shaking her head faintly, just like Maryam who was guilty of asking the question earlier, but now fighting nothing happened.
"It should be 'sister the same story I, fortunately brother Adit came here and the story .. if not until now I do not know." He nodded while pouting.
"If you know, why?" ask Rahimah to relax.
"Hehe .. yeah let me not ask you again about the wedding plans." Answer take the grin.
Maryam became misbehaved, she did not want to say that she intended to betroth her brother to Rahimah. Because Abdar didn't tell me about the most historical event in Abdar's life.
Never mind telling me about the incident, about the marriage of Rahimah which is void, Maryam should know from Adit.
"It's okay, if you don't know suddenly ask about marriage. It's also because it's not telling me, right?" sincere smile embedded.
"Yes, Hehe."
While chatting lightly they noticed Intan who was busy chasing after the rabbit.
"Sometimes I like the same thought of Intan," said Maryam who suddenly had a sad face.
"About what?" ask Rahimah who realized the change in the face of Maryam.
Maryam sighed, her gaze looking far away. It was quiet for a while before it finally made a sound.
"At this young age, Intan had to feel the loss of his father. I don't know what Intan felt when he saw his friends were with his father. Sometimes I feel like Intan is hiding something from me" said Maryam sadly.
"But if you think ... Rahman is not much different from Intan, Rahman may first and longer feel sad because there is no father. But still, I don't feel as strong as Mbak Imah."
Back Maryam sighed as if so heavy, suddenly the atmosphere around them changed. The womb was silent when he felt there was still something Mary would say.
"I am proud of Rahman and Mbak Imah, who can undergo difficulties only both. As for me, if only there were no Abdar's brother and Adit's brother might not be among you anymore." A drop of clear liquid fell unsolicited as he took out his dagger.
"Don't talk like that, even without your brothers. Ma'am is also not as strong as you imagine," comfort Rahimah also sad.
His memory also floated, when there was still his Father who was always loyal to accompany him. What would happen if there was no Father beside him.
"Thank God, because God still gives those around us who love us" said the wise Rahimah.
Hearing that Mary blotted out her tear marks on Pipi and turned to Rahimah.
"Thank you Ma'am" said Maryam sincerely mixed with relief.
"Not be sad anymore. There are still many people who have the same fate as us, take the silver lining and happiness will come along."
Maryam nodded confirming that she was only one of the millions of people who became a widow in her young age.
"What meda?" Abdar came and asked, walking along with Abizar.
"Our nyariin?" instead of answering Maryam asked back.
"Yes, that was your sister in front of you but there was none. Fortunately there was an aunt who told me" Abdar told me.
"What's wrong? You're crying" Abdar piqued to see the rest of the tears on his lashes.
"Ah, that's okay." Elak Maryam shook her head and rubbed her eyes.
Abdar let him know if his brother was lying. While Abizar also stared fixedly at Maryam. Not much different from Abdar, he also thought so.
"Intan .. here dear." In order to reduce awkwardness, Maryam chose to call her daughter only with a soft call and a wave of the hand.
"Yes, ma." Intan answered while running small.
"We're ahead, between aunt Imah same sir Ustadz. They're going home." Embracing my dear Intan's shoulder.
"Come on." The diamond slightly pulled Maryam's waist to walk in rhythm.
They also walked towards the front porch, finished the meeting today. But before separating Rahimah conveyed her invitation about Pak Rahman seventy days pickle which will be held tomorrow afternoon, ba'da Dzuhur.

"Emm, Imah, ..," call Abizar when they have reached the house of Rahimah.
"Yes, Abi's mas?"
"What happened just now? Look, it looks like Maryam was crying?" asked Abizar doubtfully.
Although Abizar knew there was no connection between them to require him to know the problem, but somehow he was a little expelled if he did not know the truth.
The womb smiled faintly. This was the first time he had seen Abizar's impassioned nature on people's issues, what else was she a woman.
"It's okay, ma'am. Maryam told me a little bit about her husband's alm, so it's sad."
"Well, so Mary is a widow?" Abizar flinched a little while asking.
"Loh, so Mas Abi doesn't know yet?" his reply asked Abizar who answered with a small coil.
"I think her husband works, so never see" I'm honest Abizar.
"If not wrong is not much different from my father, mas. Usually he did tahlilan in an orphanage he said. Most people around him are Christians, right?"
Silence after hearing the Rahimah's explanation.
"Mass?" the call of Rahimah breaks Abizar's short daydream that he knows what it is.
"Huh, oh .. I came back first. Assalamualaikum."
After Abizar left Rahimah rushed in and closed the door.
...*******************...
.
All the guests had filled the house of Rahimah, most of whom were only mothers because some men did not come. Maybe it's working.
This time Abizar was present, which was different was the old man from the young Ustadz who was not present.
Many of the mothers asked him about when his wedding anniversary, because no one knew but the closest person.
It is difficult for Rahimah to explain the truth, moreover she has no reason. Abizar was also reviled by the questions of the fathers present.
He also suspected that if the womb must have got the same thing.
After the event was over and the meal was over, Abizar asked for a little time for everyone present.
With a little bit of pleasantry he then opened the main topic he wanted to convey.
"I just want to confirm what my fathers and mothers are asking about my marriage and Rahimah." He said as he looked at all the guests present.
"We've agreed, if there's no remarriage ...," he said.
Instantly the room became rowdy by the whispers of the people who heard Abizar's statement.
Rahimah also became a gamang when she was told that if Abizar downstairs announced their marriage cancellation, she did not suspect at all.
"It's not because there's a problem, is it. It's just that I'm not ready to get married. Yesterday when I was shot, it made me think again to get married and it turns out that there is something I missed in my life," Abizar deliberately made himself worse not wanting Rahimah to be a gossip.
Abizar had predicted that if he who annulled the marriage there would be bad allegations for Rahimah. And vice versa.
"I forget, if I ever had a vow .. and my vow is, before marriage I want to umrah. Perhaps yesterday was a little rebuke from Allah because I had forgotten about it" Abizar said a little lie.
"Sorry Mr. Ustadz, can't you just go first for Umrah? Just after coming to continue the wedding yesterday? Then why did you say, there's no wedding anniversary?" a series of questions from one of the residents represent the thoughts of the people who heard Abizar's words earlier.
Abizar smiled, he thought there would be some dissatisfied when he explained so.
"The problem is that my vow is right in the month of Hajj. If I delay too long, keep the Rahimah waiting. So here I cancel Our marriage, I release Rahimah to accept another proposal if she wants to get married soon."
Everyone nodded while whispering, no one refuted over what Abizar said, as it pertains to vizar.
"I have also apologized to Ustadzah Habibah as a representative of the Rahimah family who accepted my proposal."
"And at this opportunity, I also want to apologize to all of you for the problems that I did accidentally" Abizar continued.
"Yes, we can pronounce him Mr. Ustadz" said one of the men.
Upstairs Rahimah shed tears of helplessness stemming her guilt over what Abizar is doing right now.
She felt it was her responsibility, but it was taken over by her ex-husband.
"Sir Ustadz." Everyone turned to the origin of the voice including the person called by someone.
"What's the matter Abdar?" That man was none other than Abdar.
"Then, can I also come forward to propose to the Rahimah?" questions from Abdar reached Rahimah.
The womb was riveted, unable to say anything. Maryam's hand shook it. Without the cue Maryam immediately embraced it witnessed trio of wewek and Ustadzah Habibah.
Although not yet know what Rahimah answers about the sister's proposal, but Maryam was so happy when she heard that her brother did so.
Now all eyes were on Abdar, they had just heard the cancellation of the marriage but at the same time he came to express the intention to propose.
"If Abdar wants to propose to Rahimah, then I give permission. But to be accepted or not it still asks for an opinion to the person concerned," said Abizar sage.
"And don't forget Rahman." Appoint Abizar to the little boy next to Abdar.
Abizar clearly remembers what Rahimah said about Abdar who a week ago proposed to her after knowing their marriage was cancelled.
Now that originally held a gathering together for the seventy-day event of Mr. Ramlan's death changed with the application event.
Everyone was immediately excited to hear the answer from Rahimah, deliberately undoing the intention to go home.
""How Rahman, agree not his mother married this om. Consider continuing the marriage yesterday!"
Rahman quickly nodded and smiled at the father, who then embraced his dear.
Now it is your turn to lead the Rahimah to answer immediately. Rahimah was still in shock with a sudden proposal, eager to curse at the man who made a tantrum.
In the midst of his turmoil and disbelief he was even cornered with the question 'accepted or not?'
Seeing that everyone was staring at him waiting for an answer, it was curious that he ran away and hid in the smallest ant pit.
Ustadzah Habibah and the trio of wewek have tried to advise them to give time to think, but few people against the crowd who almost filled his house obviously can not do anything.
"Have it, just tell the people below .. that the Rahimah cannot decide so quickly," repeatedly the sentence is spoken.
"Come on, answer now! We're curious?" cetus one of the female guests did not serve Ustadzah Habibah.
Salah Abdar did express his intentions in front of the guests, this is how it becomes .. too take care of one's personal problems, so they do not realize the discomfort of the person.
The laws of nature are indeed, not a few people are also like them. Hopefully we do not include among them π€²π.
Wanting to say not to accept, but not when found Maryam's face with her cultivation.
Wanting to say yes, Rahimah felt too rash even though there was a little taste that began to bloom without being asked.
With all the pressure and want to immediately end the association that does not want to go home each. The uterus took a deep breath, making sure the air supply in his lungs was still filling the respiratory cavity.
"Yes, I accept," he replied resignedly but tucked in relief
Ustadzah Habibah and trio wewek can only take a resigned breath, believing that this is a decision that God has planned.
Abdar cheered inwardly, just so he fiddled to divert the questions of the guests to no longer search for Abizar.
It was unexpected that it made him a huge profit.
Not over this sudden feeling, they were again made to gasp and have difficulty believing the question of a man.
"How about a wedding now, Mr. Ustadz? It's gonna go off again, like yesterday?"
"Sir Ustadz could marry them off? Doesn't it matter, Mr. Ustadz?" the other timpal.
Abdar and Rahimah were suddenly made to gasp and suddenly nervous. Not planned all this.
