Sumiatun, Saranghae!
Chapter 7 The Burning Departure

Babeh Dadang let Sumiatun and Hanif chat together on the front porch of his house, Sumiatun and Hanif seem both stiff and awkward when alone there.

"Em, how are you Sum? Haven't seen you in a long time, said you want to study in Korea with your friend?" hanif asked in pleasantries, awkwardly.

"ye-yeah, emm... The news is I am good and Alhamdulillah healthy, where have you been so far no news? Denger-denger said you, uh! Are you an ustadz now?" ask the Sumiatun.

"Hehe, it's still a learning stage. Now I'm helping abi take care of my uncle's boarding school, emm... I also started a small business as well" Hanif replied timidly, trying to turn his eyes away.

"You're so different now, emm... I mean you're a lot more mature and, pretty!" say Hanif again.

"Ah, ordinary! Hehe... Precisely I am shocked to see the change of lu, a crybaby and timid boy is now already big plus handsome, the son of Sholeh and smart too! It's lucky the girl who's going to be as cute as you, Nif!" said Sumiatun, he began to not be awkward again chatting, and more comfortable chatting relaxed.

"I don't have any more kayak girls, Sum. Since the cottage I can be independent and disciplined myself, not spoiled anymore like before. Ah, so shy about telling us when we were kids, hehe.." Hanif chuckled as he recalled the old times.

"But now there are many friends, too, boy friends and girlfriends! Hehe.." Sumiatun said again.

"Now the opposite, I don't have any girl friends. I want her to have a girl friend once I'll be my only girl friend I have, like we were kids first, Sum." said Hanif while blushing embarrassed when saying it.

"You used to have a lot of friends too, Nif! Just tack the same as I doang, until wherever I go you must come! Ampe was confused, hehehe.." said Sumiatun as well.

"That's because I like you" Hanif said inwardly.

After quite a while they chatted, recalling their childhood days. The one at the beginning looked stiff and awkward, and now the atmosphere was starting to melt. Although the style of speech is not connected as well, the other Betawi child is very polite, and the other language is very polite.

"I'm saying goodbye, yeah Sum... It's really noon, I have a job at the cottage, next time I play again here, can you?" pinta Hanif's.

"Bye, dong! Time people want to play can not, connect the relationship is good, right so Mr Ustadz?" sumiatun Goda.

"Haha... That's right, ukhti! I say yes, send greetings to Babeh also mak, assalamu'alaikum.." said Hanif again.

"Iya waalaikum'salam." replied Sumiatun.

Hanif was a little heavy stepping his feet away from Sumiatun, wanting him to chat even longer but he also had to know himself if the visit should not be long, and it just so happened that he also still had a job at the cottage he now took care of with his abi.

"Where is Hanif?" ask Babe Dadang out while actually sagging scabbard.

"Home home, Beh! She sends her regards Babeh also mother." replied Sumiatun as he tidied the table on his porch.

"Why not wait a moment, even though aye wants to talk again with him. Aye same recipe child, kind and polite! Pinter naji and know manners, Babeh wants you to have a man like him, Sum.." said Babeh Dadang.

"Amiin, God willing Babeh prayer in jaba' same Allah SWT.." said Sumiatun disahuti his babeh.

"So, if he comes again to be in lu bininye, you want yee?" suddenly Babeh Dadang said something strange unexpected with Sumiatun.

"If so aye not so college dong, ntar at home bae kayak mak! Suddenly so ustadzah because it has a man ustadz, must manut same man for life, aye can not shadow it, Beh...

Seems too heavy for aye to live, Hanif handsome, good and son Sholeh who the hell does not want to be with him? But back to the destiny of God, if not a mate, do not maksainan." said Sumiatun understand the direction of his babeh talk.

"Yes, aye agrees that it's mah! Only if you look at the movements like a demen boy just like you, Sum." said Babeh again.

"Haha, in the eyes of iye... Aye likes it too, but in the heart it hasn't been, Beh! I don't know why, but Hanif Mashaallah... Husband and daughter-in-law dream, but God has prepared the best soul mate for aye, Beh... Believe me," said Sumiatun pacifying his babeh.

.

Several weeks had passed, the end of the awaited day had already arrived as well. Babeh and mak accompanied Sumiatun and Ningsih to Soekarno Hatta International Airport, where they were reluctant to let go of their daughter.

"Udah, Mom... Aye ntar often call me, don't say so! Kan now Mak same Babeh can be alone again kayak first, without anyone disturbing again, hehehe.." entertain Sumiatun.

"Yes, Mom! Shame on everyone, hiks!" sahut babeh Dadang but he also follow mewek.

"Sum..." Hanif approached Sumiatun with some lethargy.

"Hi, thank you for joining nganterin." said Sumiatun with a sweet smile.

"I pray you are safe until the goal, and succeed in achieving your goals! Be yourself, even if you are far away from us, and never change... I, I will wait for news from you, Sum.." said Hanif.

Sumiatun looked worried, he was not sure Hanif would wait for him for too long. Moreover, the child has really wanted to marry, do not know why even though they are also too young today.

"Don't get your hopes up, Nif... If you've found someone suitable, move! Don't wait gw, I don't know until when to be there and will meet who, plis... Don't wait for something uncertain, and I'm sorry... I can't" said Sumiatun with a bad feeling.

After that there was an announcement that the Sumiatun and Ningsih planes were soon going to leave, Sumiatun and Ningsih said goodbye to their families as well as some friends who took the escort including Hanif.

"Sumi.." call Hanif when Sumiatun and Ningsih want to enter the plane intercepted by Hanif.

"I'll keep waiting for your decision, I'm in no hurry! I'm ready if you're ready, too." said Hanif after that he waved, Ningsih immediately pulled Sumiatun's hand so they don't miss the plane.

When on the plane, Sumiatun looks more silent and daydreaming, not about the same kangen babeh and mak, actually it is also one of them... But more of Hanif's talk.

"There's no way he's gonna wait that long, and I'm not sure that's the same decision... Huft," he said with a heavy sigh.

"Long breathing, like a train! Hehe... Why, still thinking about the boy's talk? Okay, don't think about it! Ntar also forgot he was the same you. The name of the man will not be satisfied with one woman.

If one leaves, someone will come! Especially model men like him, there must be many who love mah! Just focus on our college. Who knows you'll meet a Korean oppa who is more handsome than him, ye kaaan... Hehe!" ningsih encouraged Sumiatun.

"Well, we married our own people! Obviously its origin, its religion, our cultural understanding and which can obviously be connected by the way!" sahut Sumiatun.

"Eleh, if they are serious and love equally we are no less good as well as the other! You think the other guys on Hanif's kayak are all, not necessarily Marimar! Something different can be suitable if put together, black kayak is just as white, if put together be milk coffee, delicious! Hahaha.." said Ningsih again.

"As far as you are, if you've already told me yak, I want to sleep!" said Sumiatun ogah serving the Ningsih.

"Gw also want to sleep also kalee, calm ntar built the same mbak-mbak flight attendant kok.." said Ningsih also began to close his eyes.

Sumiatun did not respond anymore because his eyes had closed and wanted to sleep even though it was a bit difficult, his mind was currently floating somewhere.
