Before long Amelie was done with her somay, stepping gracefully to return to Satrio's rented house.
Inhaling the air that felt like it had been a very long time he did not feel.
"Ah, enjoy it like this. Thank you, God, for giving me back my heart and my spirit. I don't think I'll be able to stop being grateful" he muttered happily.
"Aish, where's your boyfriend?" amelie asked after her foot climbed into Satrio's courtyard..
..
Aish looked to stare a smile. "She, Mi. Here sit here, Mi."
Aish shifted and made room for Amelie to sit next to him.
"Well, the somay looks good. Let's eat first." Amelie gives a package in which there are several packs of somay into Aish's hand.
Aish accepted and they began to eat from the calm.
"Excuse me," muttered Satrio who was already finished with his sudden business inside the house.
"Ah, yes?"
Amelie and Aish turned around, and how astonished they saw Satrio's neat and fragrant appearance.
The hair that is neatly combed, neat clothes, slippery and fragrant like just the iron is also a charming smile on the face that looks just shaved from naughty hair.
"Mas, is this you?" mummy Aish.
Satrio sat in front of Aish and smiled. "Yes, who else is Ai's deck?"
"Mami's son is not wrong, Mami's daughter-in-law is very handsome" said Amelie while drinking syrup from Aish's glass.
Satrio seemed to blush in embarrassment, his red face he hid with his head down and poured ice syrup into one more glass and served it to Amelie.
"Hummm ... so .. when? You're gonna propose to my daughter, son?" ask Amelie suddenly.
"Huk, uhuk." Aish covered her nose which felt spicy and hot due to choking.
Quickly Satrio gave him a drink, which was directly in his throat until the toilet.
"Mommy, why do you talk like that?" whispered Aish shy shy.
Amelie smears a smile. "Yes because Mami wants to carry a grandchild, son. When you were a baby Mami didn't even have time to hold you but you and Asy have disappeared. What's wrong if now Mami wants to hold your grandchildren? You're not kids anymore, son."
Aish and Satrio looked at each other, but with all the courage he had Satrio replied. " God willing soon I'll propose to Aish, Auntie."
****
Asy pondered in the corner of her room, here alone made her feel like she was in an incredible dilemma.
"Mas, why are you leaving?" his murmur looked at the sky gathering clouds in its midst, as if covering the earth from gazing at its beauty.
Asy exhaled a long breath, pulled his head from the edge of the window and turned towards the mirror.
Asy stood there, rubbing his stomach looked flat with a sad and confused look.
"Would I be willing to give one of my descendants to you, I would be able to calm down, Mom? Why does it feel so crowded?" muttered Asy again, imagined again by him when when Nature asked his opinion of his request which might be the last.
*flashback
At the hospital at the time.
It rained heavily at that time, again the day when news of Rahman's disappearance spread and Ed immediately went with some of his men to look for him.
In the hospital room, Asy was constantly crying making Nature feel sorry to see him.
"Dec," call Nature weak, Asy seemed to gasp quickly at the tears flowing down her cheeks and smiled faintly.
Nature shook her head, then she slowly grabbed Asy's hand in her grasp. Something he hadn't even done since they were legally married in front of the ruler.
Asy looked jolted in shock, yet she did not pull her hand out of Nature's grasp at all. Perhaps also, because of the pity of seeing the pale face of Nature and her weak body.
"What's up, Mom? Tell me, don't scare me?" murmured Ash with eyes that returned misty.
"It's okay, Mas loves you, deck."
Asy nodded, holding onto her chest that felt pinched.
"Ta- but ... Mas," said Asy nervously.
Nature returned to smile at him. "Yes, Mas knows you love that ustadz. You will not force me to love you. But ... can you accept the choice from Mas, the deck?"
Ash's forehead seemed to form a wrinkle. "Optional? What choice, Mom?"
Nature takes a deep breath before conveying her meaning. "Mas will release you sincerely, but please give birth to only one successor for Mas, for Mas's parents in the village. Pity those who do not know what if Mas go later," explained Alam with a hoarse voice.
Again Ash was stunned, and unable to move his tongue to answer until Nature resumed her sentence.
"But, if you don't want to Mas will never force you, deck. Mas will release you if it is your will, but .. if later Mas has gone please often come to visit Mas's parents in the village, consider them as your own biological parents, deck." deck."
Tears of Nature seemed to flow on the side of his face, Asy who could not bear to wipe it gently made Nature turn to him.
"All Mas do because Mas only loves you, and until the end will still love you," added Alam with a smile on his lips.
Asy's day was filled, not because she had opened her heart to Nature but because of the extraordinary sincerity she had captured from the eyes of the man who was still her husband.
"A- Asy ... Asy can't choose, Mommy." Asy sobbed slowly.
"It's okay, you don't have to answer it now, answer when you have the right choice. But, Mas hope not too long because you also know the time Mas can end at any time," replied Nature again makes Asy helpless, want it to feel when Asy slammed into his arms but Asy could not do it.
And it continued in silence until Nature chose to close her eyes to rest, leaving Asy in her own confusion.
*flashback end's.
Too long at home, making Asy finally decided to go to the cottage. Want to breathe fresh air while visiting Jeni who will soon hold a seven-monthly thanksgiving content.
"Assalamu'alaikum," said Asy in front of the house ndalem'.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, uh neng Asy. Come on, come on in, all alone? Where's husband?" tanya Umi Nafisah who welcomed the arrival of Asy in front of the house.
Umi Nafisah leads Asy into the house, then leaves her for a moment to call Jeni.
"Eh, Asy .. geez I didn't play here for long?" greet Jeni while hugging and kissing Asy's left right cheek.
"Yes, Ma'am yesterday Mas Al was sick so where can't he go?"
Jeni invited Asy to sit in the guest chair side by side with her.
"Oh yeah, what pain?"
Asy just smiled knot, it still feels hesitant to tell others about the disease suffered by Nature, although in fact Nature did not ask him to keep anything secret.
"Jen, I want to leave first yes." the voice of someone broke off the chat Jeni and Asy, which immediately made Asy relieved because there was no need to answer Jeni's question before.
"Ah, Sister Sarah wants to go home? Has anyone picked you up?" Jeni got up and held the hand of the woman Asy knew as Jeni's friend.
"Here, my husband just called."
Sarah tilted her head when she saw someone behind Jeni, her face that still looked puffy made Asy a little surprised.
"Lho, Aish are you here too?" ask Sarah who seems to have misunderstood Asy again.
