The Love Story of Two Pearls
31. Accompanying Ummi

Joseph walked into his room, suddenly someone called him from behind, making Joseph stop his steps and look back.

"Joseph!" call Karina.

"Yes aunt, what's wrong?" ask Yusuf.

"Have you met Yasmin?" karina approached Joseph.

"Not aunty, what's up?"

"So Yasmin got 2 weeks' permission, she said her father was sick and he wanted to go home to look after his father" Karina said, somehow she felt the need to tell Joseph.

"Oh, yes aunt, thanks for the information well tant" said Yusuf wanted to turn around and then stopped again when Karina called him again.

"Yusuf.hmm, I may not know what you are feeling, but I think, if you are serious with Yasmin then try harder, she is like a pearl in the deep sea, it takes more effort to see its beauty. Meet her parents directly" Karina said, then turned to her room.

Karina has been feeling unusual about Joseph's behavior lately. Asking a woman made Karina suspicious, because all this time Joseph never asked about women, whatever it was, unless it was related to his family. Especially when he caught Joseph looking at his room this morning with a smile, he then traced the direction of Joseph's view and it is true that he found Yasmin whose position was very clear from the outside.

Joseph frowned hearing what his aunt had just said. It was as if his aunt knew what was making Joseph uneasy at this moment.

Night at Abi Hasan's residence

"Abi, tomorrow make Ummi accompany to Makassar, because Ummi is not comfortable walking far alone" said Ummi Ulfa while sitting with her husband in the family room.

"Where is mi? earlier, Abi only got word that tomorrow there is an important meeting at the Hospital and Abi must be present there" said Abi carefully so as not to be misunderstood by Ummi.

"More important where the hell, Ummi or meeting Abi?" tanya Ummi snorted annoyed at hearing Abi's reason.

Abi was surprised by the question posed by his wife, he thought hard to choose the right words. Abi opened his mouth to make a sound, but there was a greeting from the outside that was certainly Joseph.

"You come Yus, what's up?" abi Hasan asked to divert his conversation with Ummi who was like a trap, replied 'Ummi' would open another trap, and replied 'meeting' then of course the door of the room will be locked for him.

"It's okay, Abi, Yusuf is just lazy in the apartment" said Yusuf lying because honestly he was anxious when he was alone.

"Yus, have you eaten, son?" ummi asked Ulfa softly, as if nothing had happened.

"Abi you Yus, Ummi will ask to be accompanied to go to Makassar tomorrow to attend the wedding of your uncle's son there, but your father instead chose a meeting" ummi Ulfa Ulfa said while looking at Abi Hasan with an icy gaze.

Hearing the word Makassar made Yusuf think of a brilliant idea.

"Let Yusuf who planted Ummi to Makassar" said Yusuf smiling.

"Who? you are working son" Ummi Ulfa said in surprise.

"Yusuf can take a leave of absence from Ummi, as long as Joseph worked at the Hospital, Yusuf never took a leave of absence. Besides, there's a doctor David who can replace me in the next few days. The holidays are never a problem so it can be a vacation right" said Yusuf made Ummi smile happily.

"Yes already, if so you prepare a leave permit and your belongings, Ummi plans to be in Makassar for 5 days, tomorrow morning we leave. No problem, right?" tanya Ummi Ulfa who was immediately embraced by Yusuf.

"Alhamdulillah the problem is finished" the inner father who had been silent since then with a happy smile.

The next morning

Joseph seemed very busy with his phone. Due to a sudden plan, Yusuf finally asked permission to leave by phone to his friend at the hospital, not to forget he also asked David to replace him temporarily.

After all breakfast, Abi drove Ummi and Yusuf in a car driven by Slamet sir. Arriving at Soekarno-Hatta airport, Ummi and Yusuf said goodbye to Dad and went straight into the airport. Then I went straight to the hospital for a meeting.

Joseph was endlessly smiling thinly as he looked out the window.

"What's up, son? since then Ummi noticed you smile continuously, not usually you like this" said Ummi Ulfa while stroking Yusuf's hand gently.

"Hmm. I'm sorry Umm, Yusuf can't tell me yet. But later if everything is clear then Yusuf told Ummi and Abi" said Yusuf smiled at Umminya and replied with a smile by Ummi.

After taking approximately 2 and a half hours, the plane finally landed at the Sultan Hasanuddin airport in Makassar.

"Finally... Bismillah, O God, ease my affairs" Joseph smiled.
