It has been a few days ara and mila returned to the klaten city where mila and fig origin work. The more days ara and mila get closer, already like brothers. Every time mila came home from pesantren always took the time to meet with ara. While figs are indeed almost every day after serving following the study at home mila, getting closer to the mother mila.
Today is precisely Tuesday, ara who does not have service hours go to mila house to follow the study. Arriving at home mila with delivered ojek online, ara directly walk to the mother's house mila. But today it is found that unlike the day of drought, the state of the house is quiet. But Ara heard the sound of people from behind the door of the house.
"Assalamualaikum.." said ara said his greetings while knocking on the door of mila's mother's house.
From inside the house a voice answered the greeting from the fig while opening the door.
"Mak ara,, come in here.." welcome mom mila while letting fig in.
"Why do you feel lonely...Where other mothers...?" Ara asked while looking at her left right there was no one.
"Yes mbak ara.sorry today the study is off first, because the mother wants to go to the next village there is an invitation.." java mother mila while filing the fig sitting.
"Oh that's the same mother who went to the next village.."asked ara continued.
"It was wanted to be ushered mbak.but the father can no longer have any business as well.so yes dianter mas rais.." replied mila mother with a smile.
"Yes ma'am.yah mother heart yes on the road.if that is why go home first.." answered ara.
"Eh do not go home first.here enter first mother cook a lot, mbak ara take home yes for lunch the same night later.." pinta mila mother while taking ara into the dining room.
"Lho rais is not ready yet is.." asked ara who saw rais was still busy with his work on the stove.
"In the meantime mbak..nggung this if you want to be left to take a shower.later there is milk broken if not stirred.." said rais while stirring the contents of the pot on the stove.
"Jaudah here I'm the one who stirred you shower gih.ntar late you know..mom just want to be ready ready.." pinta ara to help rais.
"Yes mas.kamu cepet shower already this afternoon.maaf ya mbak ara ngerepotin mbak ara jadi.." said the mother while busy putting food into the bushel to take fig home.
"No ma'am.. ara even seneng, while learning also how to actually make milk.." answered ara with a smile.
Rais who had been busy stirring milk on the stove, finally gave his stirring tools to ara. Inadvertently fingers rais who thrust a stirring device about the fig hand, raispun immediately apologized and accidentally looked at the face of the fig.
For a moment they were silent, but their gazes were instantly dissolved by the mother of the rais.
"Ehem..not yet muhrim." said the mother while coughing.
"Satagfirullah.sorry I mbak.maaf.." said rais while looking down and passed from the front of the fig.
"Mom.." call fig to rais' mother.
"Yes, what's the matter." asked rais' mother.
"Do you have the criteria for a daughter-in-law for rais." asked ara while stirring milk on the stove that has been left behind rais.
"No mbak.asal rais happy..candidnya happy mother certainly nerima mbak.but the problem is no one wants to be the same rais mbak.." answered rais' mother with a laugh.
"Did Rais ever fall in love with women mom." asked ara again.
"After the mother does not mbak.because mas rais is also the closest child to the mother, if there is what must be the story of the same mother... all this time he told only about his efforts and memorization of the Quran aja mbak." said the mother rais clearly.
"Mom can be aja..ana may also be ma'am.I am a widow.greater also than the mother's son." said ara with a smile.
"Yes if the soul mate mbak..all nothing is impossible if God has willed, who had seen the sign of his son falling in love with ara, and vice versa.
Ara did not reply, only smiling in embarrassment.
Setelah obrolan mereka selesai mereka beranjak keruang depan. Sembari menunggu rais yang belum selesai bersiap siap. Rais terkenal lelet kalau disuruh mandi. Dia bisa berlama lama dikamar mandi hanya untuk membersihkan setiap inci tubuhnya.
After almost 30 minutes raispun already out of his room, he wore a white shirt, the more visible the aura of good looks.
"Mas rais.sini used to sit le.." said rais' mother while patting the sofa to sit rais.
Raispun went straight to the sofa.
"What is umm." asked rais.
Ara who was sitting next to Rais' mother felt bad, for fear of disturbing their chatter. But pas ara ask permission to go home first, rais mother did not even allow it. Because rais' mother wanted to talk to the two of them before rais' mother to the next village fulfilled the invitation.
"Mas rais.mbak ara..ibu wants to ask the same if both.please be answered honestly, for the common good in the future.." said the mother rais.
"Do you have feelings for each other." continued rais' mother.
Ara and rais fell silent, occasionally looking at rais. But rais did not dare to look at the fig, he just lowered his head.
"Please answered mas.mbak.ibu wants tau.biar in the future delicious no mistake.."
Raispun finally dared himself to answer.
"Yes umm.I like mbak ara, but umma also know, if the relationship without status is prohibited by religion, so I think avoiding mbak ara is much better than expressing umm feelings...moreover, I also do not know if you also like me." said Rais with a red face and nervous.
The widened eyes of the fig could not say what. He just did not expect that it turned out that the rais who was known to be quiet liked him.
"Trus mbak ara how mbak response about the word rais just mbak.." asked rais' mother to ara.
Ara did not answer Rais's mother's question, ara just cried. I don't know what the meaning of the cry of the fig, ara moved from her seat and asked permission to go home to the queen mother.
"I'm sorry mbak ara.because I was sassy to like mbak ara...I am only a traveling milk seller with an income that is nothing compared to the profession of mbak fig. Even I was too small to say that I wanted to marry ara mbak." said rais in a pretty clear word before ara stepped from the exit of the house.
But ara still did not answer as well, she just looked towards the rais and the queen mother while crying and passing from inside their house.

Today became a raging day for the heart of fig because of the incident at home rais oagi, even food that has been provided dirrmantang by the mother rais also forgot not to be taken home by the fig. I don't know what is now in the heart of ara, but it is clear today ara is really confused with his feelings, especially after rais expressed his heart in front of his mother and ara.
In the heart of the fig, actually he was happy with the expression of the rais heart earlier, but on the other hand ara thought again. Moreover, she had promised her late husband that she would not marry again after his departure.
Maybe that's what makes the fig sad and cry.
