Bu Ratih and Niang Ayu seemed busy with some housekeepers preparing souvenirs to be taken to Bramantyo's house. Tomorrow morning they will come to the Ayra residence to propose Shidqia Nafisah officially. Nian Ayu can't wait to meet Umi Laila. An Islamic woman who understands the science of religion, who understands the values of her religion and can still live with her friends.
Even during Ramadan sometimes Docte Ayu greeting himself in Kali Bening it will participate in a free takjil tikpatan which will be done by Umi Laila and her husband for 4 times during Ramadan. Where everyone who passes in front of the mosque will get the certificate. Including Niang Ayu who sometimes just came home from the puskes because he wanted to take a bath, will be given by the takjil divider. At that time there was a turmoil. Many policies and understanding by the couple called Umi and Abi because they do not want to be called ustadz.
"Indeed Niang used to be very close to his Eyang Qiya?" Gede said, picking one wine and eating it.
He smiled because his hands were pressed against his mother.
"Make the future wife and prospective in-laws play comot only." Said Bu Ratih accompanied by housekeeper Niang Ayu wrapping some souvenirs.
"Pretty close. The closest was Nadong Mu with her husband Umi Laila. If there is any more sagging. That Dadong of yours will even chat long enough with Abi Rohim.. Because your Dadong doesn't really like gapleks. What astonished Dadong. When at the event of the Hajatan people if the night Abi Rohim was sitting enjoying coffee in the tent. No one dares to play with money. Nobody wants to drink alcohol. But if Abi Rohim wasn't there. It is certain to relax the citizens who like gambling play." Remember Niang Ayu.
"That means he's so respected by Niang." Gede Comment.
"Well yes, his wong was wise. Arifs. Therefore Niang is now confused that some scholars are young, he said knowledgeable but not wise. Ngajaknya worshipers even have hatred for fellow humans. Lah Abi Rohim was clearly in slander even almost expelled from the Bening times. But even he who was busy panting and angry with the citizens because he had a sense of revenge. Niang is proud you could be part of his family. Never hurt their descendants Ge." said Niang Ayu.
"Goddessa. Help guide Gede yes Niang, Mom. Gede really felt that Gede's love for Qiya was really big and different from before. Hopefully Gede can make Qiya happy."
"Aami.... Never snatch your wife Ge. Women are sometimes strong in the face of trials. But if it's a husband who snapped or did rough. He will be disappointed and hurt." Said Mrs Ratih.
Gede also agreed to what he heard from Mrs Ratih. But suddenly his face looks sad. He remembered one incident when Mr. Subroto refused himself outright because out of nowhere he found information that Gede was an illegitimate child. It is unclear who his father was. There are even circulating that her mother is an ex-woman of the night. There are also those who say he used to tease Doctor Wayan. That's Mrs Ratih, staying with Niang Ayu. He's not allowed to explain here and there.
Because I think Niang Ayu and Husband. There is no end to following the neighbors who always comment on his life. Silence is better, because he can see the class of Umi Laila and Abi Rohim just so relaxed and not busy clarifying here and there when a lot of slander leads to him. Only he brought it into his prayer that it might one day open itself to the veils of closed truth. To be given the strength to be patient in the face of slurs, insults, and slander that leads.
"What's Ge?" tanya Niang Ayu saw Gede playing an Apple in his hand.
"According to Niang and Mother, is it better before there Gede tell Qiya first in order to tell his family about Gede? Gede was worried that Niang and Mom would be there. Old events repeat themselves." said Gede.
Bu Ratih's face was immediately clouded. He feels guilty. Again, he hurt his son. If she had been the smartest girl, she would not have married Siri. Maybe at this time his baby will not feel dizzy with the name listed on the certificate.
"I'm sorry, Ge..." The voice of Mrs Ratih.
"Mom... Gede never regretted being born from the mother's womb. Gede never regretted the fate God gave Gede. But Gede just doesn't want to tomorrow or whether Niang Ayu and Mom come back to be embarrassed because Gede's not married." Gede said while hugging her mother.
Mrs Ratih is happy, because while many boys are busy with their hobbies with friends. Gede rarely goes out with his friends. His son was from Junior High used to spend time helping his mother. For Gede he was lucky to have an amazingly great mother. The little mother educated him to be a person who is studious, persistent and disciplined but also has a good nature to socialize.
Her mother was a great woman, because she never complained. Though he could see how the mother was trying hard to be a single parent. He barely even asked Niang Ayu for help when he was in trouble for his needs and efforts. So Gede really loved his mother.
"Niang think it's no problem Ratih... Gede has a point. Pity too if it happens again. The bitter experience and failure that we can make a lesson in order not to go back to experience it." Niang Ayu said on his wheelchair. That day his leg hurt a little. Because yesterday was too eager to welcome Galungan Day.
Gede went to the room. He wanted to call her heart. But he was worried that he could not even speak. Hearing Qiya's voice alone already made his heart seem to stop beating.
He looked at the profile picture of the girl of his heart. A picture of a green hooded woman seen from the back.
"Tuuutu..... Tuuut... Tuuutts..." The voice of the phone still unhealed.
Gede who hopes to speak vya wave signal that. But the girl in the room just held and stared at the screen of her phone. Heart's pounding. He did not dare to pick up the phone. But he was worried if there was something important to be conveyed by doctor Gede.
Ayra's thumb touched the green button.
"Hello, Assalamu'alaikum." Said Qiya slowly.
"Wa-wa-waaikumussallam's chat....Hhhhh." the man held his chest and tried to regulate his breathing.
"......" Qiya could clearly hear the breath of the doctor who would come to propose to her tomorrow. He also did not dare to speak again.
"......" I was confused as to where this conversation started. Why did he find it so hard to talk to this girl. Not the same as when he declared his love for his ex.
"What's up doc..." Said Qiya carefully and very quietly.
"....." Gede still breathing.
"Look. Em. sa-yeah. A-da who wants to be san-pawned, doc...." Big sound stammering.
Qiya who heard the stammered voice from Gede instantly felt uneasy. He was worried if there was bad news or even the man would cancel his application. He was waiting for Doctor Gede's speech. He did not dare to speak again.
"......." Qiya's waiting.
"......" Gede still caught his breath.
"....." Qiya was still guessing what news the man who was on the other side wanted to convey.
"Just text me." Finally, only that sentence can be said Gede. His chest was tight, he found it hard to breathe. Qiya's soft voice seemed to be present in her eyes and was smiling sweetly or laughing when joking with Cita. It makes Gede unable to talk to the idol even through the air.
"Upload doc.." said Qiya.
"What's..." Said doctor Gede who he did not know the meaning of English.
"Yes Ndak anything through the message if it is difficult to convey it directly." Qiya's voice sounded like people were crying.
"Dek Qiya is crying?" Gede Say.
"....." The girl was unable to speak. He was confused. Heart's pounding. He cried because he was worried about getting married again when the heart was anchored. He was also again made to blush because he heard the word "Dek" from the guidance doctor who admired even almost all nurses and doctors who were single on his Internship rides.
"Sir...." Pangil Gede again.
