One week has passed, but what Joseph said last week was not true, he reneged on Arumi's promise to preach it.
Arumi's father and mother are also waiting for the arrival of my brother.
Arumi this time felt very disappointing both parents, not because of his mistake, but the hope of someone who was waiting for him.
Arumi tries to contact Yusuf, but somehow his number cannot be reached.
...*****...
At the dinner table the Arumi family was enjoying dinner, looking silent only the clanking of spoons and forks were heard.
The sound of bells and greetings halted their activities right then and there.
"Who's the night?" ask mother.
"Maybe it's my brother, let me open the door." Dad stood walking towards the door.
"You prepare snacks and drinks son." said Mother Faza following her husband out.
Arumi smiled nodding, a troubled feeling of uneasiness and disappointment, instantly disappeared in an instant, just by hearing the sound of the house bell that was not necessarily someone he was waiting for.
"Assalamu'alaikum."
"Greetings, ma'am" replied Faza's father and mother as she opened the door.
Outside the look of abah and ummi with his two sons, the father slightly tilted his head to look for the existence of Joseph, but there is no figure of Joseph who joined the guest tonight.
"Dad, the guest went in first," mother Faza nudged her husband's arm.
"Eh? astaghfirullah, I'm sorry to daydream, instead of letting guests stand in front of the door like this."
"Let's go in everyone, please" he asked.
"Thank you." After letting her guests in, she went back to the kitchen to meet Arumi, to bring her enough to drink and eat.
"If you've brought it, come out zy."
"Okay mother" he answered, pouring water into a glass.
Mother Faza returned to meet her guests outside.
"Sorry to interrupt a visit at night like this" said Abah.
"It's okay, even we and our family are happy to go to an honored guest."
"Wah so wide my ears are," he said with laughter followed by father and mother.
The Arumi family of mangosteen understands the words of abah.
"I came to preach your daughter Arumi" I saw Arumi who was giving tea smiling in embarrassment
Abah continued his words.
"For my son Abyan Fakhri Abrar" he said
Instantly the smile disappeared and the tea glass that Arumi placed on the small plate spilled.
Abyan was about to help her who had been paying attention to Arumi, but her hand held Affan's brother.
"Astaghfirulla.h" Arumi who was initially very happy, now he was like in sambar something that shattered his hopes.
"Aren't you pa-pa boy?" ask ummi Dalilah
But Arumi still stared blankly at the glass he spilled.
"Zy you're not pa-pa, baby?" mother Faza touched the child's shoulder, she knew her son was surprised, mother and father Salman was no less surprised.
How not to be surprised, while waiting for Joseph, why when it came home to Abyan abah's son.
The question awakens Arumi from her shock, only to realize her hand was hit by hot water.
"I'm sorry everyone, excuse me to kama" After cleaning the tea water spilled on the table wipe it with a tissue, without answering the mother's question, then go into the room.
"O Allah astaghfirullah."
"Astaghfirullah."
"Astaghfirullah." I stop Arumi beristighfar holding his chest that feels tight, the grains of clear water flowing without he can withstand from his beautiful eyes.
Arumi sat on the edge of her bed.
"O Allah is this what Joseph said? is this what she meant by I'm going to be a wife? is this his purpose to pity me with his promises? is this what is meant only to disappoint me?, I was wrong all this time, O Allah forgive the servant who is too hopeful for him, until the servant forgets the hope that makes the servant forget about you, O Allah." Arumi was crying by the bed regretting her actions.
"Will father and mother accept Abyan's gus? I'm afraid of Allah, I don't know him what if he behaves badly to me?"
"Astaghfirullah what am I thinking?" ask himself.
Arumi is a monologue in her room, not knowing at this time her mind cannot think clearly, her heart is disappointed, afraid, sad and restless all being one.
