After Alvian's departure, Purnomo went to visit Habibah's house. Arriving at the door of the house, he knocked on it.
" Open'alaykum..." Purnomo said his greetings while knocking on the door several times. But after several greetings and knocking on the door, no one answered his greetings or opened the door.
" Where is Habibah? Is it still in the garden?" ask Purnomo in heart. Because the person wanted was not home, Purnomo finally decided to go home first. He plans to return by night.
While the wanted girl is still cool in the garden herding her cattle and goats. While waiting for his cattle to eat grass there, as usual he brought with him his pen and diary book. He wrote down everything that was in his heart and mind. All that he spilled in his diary. Suddenly she sees something tucked between the covers of her diary, she slowly pulls it out of its hiding place. It turned out that the letter from Alvian that had been forgotten by him even the envelope was still not open in the slightest.
The girl was just weighing between opening it or not. Eventually he chose to save it back into the folds of his diary book. I don't know why he didn't want to open it and read it but didn't throw it away. Maybe one day he'll read it, his mind again. Time did not feel midday and he decided to go home because he had to perform dhuhur prayer. Arriving at home heapun shower and rushed to perform prayers then eat and rest for a while. Because after that he has to find grass for his goat and cow dinner later. That's how his days go without relaxing like his peers.
When night came, after the prayer isya Laily Habibah's sister just returned from Mushola. After saying his greetings he then looked for his brother Habibah in his room. And Habibah who just finished praying was immediately pulled to the edge of the bed.
" Sister, there is a message from Pur mas, he said he wanted to meet with his brother in an ordinary place. He said he wanted to wait until big brother came." said Laily half-whispering.
" Where is that ordinary place anyway, brother?" seduce Laily to her sister with a wink and her mischievous smile. The one in flirt is just quiet. Seeing her brother just silent, Laily finally left Habibah alone.
" Sister is not cool ah! Lazy for a long time with my sister later I became contagious not cool. ", said Laily as it passed. Habibah was still sitting in the place again and thought "should I meet or not? Yes, I have met all of you I say tomorrow after tomorrow I want to go too.

After waiting for quite a long time, finally the person who was waiting came as well.
" I thought you wouldn't come. "greet Purnomo as soon as the girl he was waiting for arrived.
" What's the matter mas, tumben ngajak meet?" sahut Habibah's.
"Sit down first, when we talk while standing up tired. hehehe.." Purnomo chimed in a little jokingly because the atmosphere felt very awkward.
" So morning Alvian waited for you long you know, you really did not come or reply to a letter from him. Sadly, he expects you to return the letter. He just wants to know how you reply.. Part of you really hard anyway, just reply to a letter is easy to just write it down already settled." without a stale Purnomo directly discuss about Alvian.
" Yes, I know staying nulis is easy. But I want to write what it is that I do not know." replied Habibah gave an excuse.
"Oh my goodness, you can't bibah?!.." said Purnomo with a laugh. He couldn't believe what he just heard.
" You just answer what he asks, and you explain if there's anything to explain. Just in time you don't know?" purnomo continued while staring fixedly at the face of the girl sitting right in front of him.
" Well that's what the letter says to me. I usually reply to letters if I have never been. The number is confused .." Habibah answered only then.
"Where can dong, you get the letter. That letter to you, too, when did I reply to the letter? not funny bibah.. " Purnomo was very anxious with the answer the girl gave.
" Yes if so next time I reply. Do not want to rush, later if I want and there is time I will reply. Tell me about Alvian if I still haven't had time, can you please?" the girl's words really made Purnomo angrily half-dead. Want to pinch the cheek of the girl in front of him because so anxious. But he didn't, because he didn't want to offend the girl.
" Okay then, we change the subject. Now I want to ask you something, and I hope you answer it honestly, can you?" asked the man with a serious face and eyes that could not be separated from the beautiful face of Habibah.
" I can, if I can answer, I will. But if you can't ya ma'af" replied Habibah briefly.
" If I told you that I like you, what would you do? Can you give me the answer?" finally the words he had been keeping in his heart came out of Purnomo's lips. Her chest rumbled as she said that sentence, well between nervousness and relief from being able to say it. But he was also worried that he would be rejected. He feared the same fate as Alvian. But he really couldn't hold it much longer to express his feelings.
