The Shy Duda
Distrusting

Still the same day. After Fadlan's departure from the clinic, Rania begins to confide in Doctor Husna. Rania told me everything, about her having a debt to Mr. Beno, of course, hearing that Doctor Husna was immediately surprised.

"So you have a lot of debt to loan sharks?" Ask Dr. Husna to make sure. Rania nodded.

"I'm sorry before I didn't go frank with mom if I borrowed money on her friend dad's loan shark. I was forced to borrow money for capital and develop my business, I used that money to set up a cafe in Jakarta, but it's only been two years that the cafe is running, uh the cafe is even a fire." Rania who started to feel sad again. Doctor Husna who heard also immediately stroked the chest, his eyes were already glazed.

"Astaghfirullah alazim, riba was forbidden Rania, haram. You can borrow money from a loan shark. How much do you owe Beno?"

"5 M, I've paid the interest every month"

Back Doctor Husna was surprised and then stroked his chest while beristighfar.

"That's a lot of your debt?"

Rania nodded.

"I didn't know and didn't expect that the cafe would be on fire. The apartment and the car I've been selling to pay employee severance, now I don't have anything, ma'am." Rania said while wiping her tears.

"Astaghfirullah alazim."

"Mother's savings aren't that much as Rania's, then how can I help you."

"Mother just pray, ma'am, let your son be free from that debt." Rania.

"How long has Beno given you time to pay it off?"

"Three months."

"Within three months, where will you get that kind of money from Ran?"

"Entahlah Ma'am. Mr. Beno said, if within three months I have not paid off the debt, then he will ask me to be his wife, his third wife. We have made a black and white agreement" said Rania. Back Doctor Husna stroked the chest, he did not expect that his daughter would be in debt.

"Hopefully within three months you can get the money to pay all your debts. I'll help you as much as I can." Said Doctor Husna. Rania smiled and hugged Doctor Husna.

"Thank you ma'am, wish I could get through it all. Hopefully a miracle will come until I'm free of all my debt." Rania.

After letting go of her embrace, Doctor Husna saw Rania carrying a large bag.

"Are you going to live with mom?"

"I'm allowed to stay here first Mom, I want to calm my mind here first, who knows with a calm mind, I can get through everything." Rania. Doctor Husna nodded, he was happy that his only daughter wanted to live with him, since Rania lived with her grandparents, even when her grandparents were dead, Rania chose to live alone in Jakarta to continue her schooling.

Fadlan had walked home while carrying the brand x worm drug given from Rania. Fadlan could see from a distance that Abinya was walking in a hurry, he did not know that iftadz Soleh was looking for him because he got a phone call from Usman ustadz.

"Fadlan's."

Ustadz Soleh approached Fadlan.

"Assalamualaik."

"Mosur."

They were astonished by his Abi who was now regulating his breath.

"Tell me why?" Ask Fadlan.

"It's Abi who should ask, are you okay?" Ask ustadz Soleh while looking at his son's condition. Fadlan was astonished by himself.

"I'm fine Bi, why is Abi worrying about me like that?"

"Om you called Abi, said you were taken by the woman you found at the funeral. Abi's gonna be so worried that you're getting Wewe's pregnant." Ustadz Soleh. Fadlan who heard it immediately laughed.

"Thank God you're okay. Maybe Abi ate your crazy om words. Come home, we need to talk to you." Ustadz Soleh. Finally Fadlan went home, apparently his house was already Sarah, Pipit, Zidan, Ustadz Usman and Fadil.

"Assalamualaik."

"Mosur."

Fadlan was astonished to see them gathered in his house. The search for candidates has ended, he said, because the candidates are over.

"Sit down Fadlan." Sarah Pinta.

Though in his heart he wondered, Fadlan sat down with them. Pipit immediately rose his father's lap.

"What's up Mi, it seems so serious." Fadlan.

"Begini Fadlan, your daughter's son was whining and asking for your future wife. We know that if all candidates have fallen, for that we want to hold a miting back, we want to find a new candidate, of course, that suits your criteria. Try telling me what kind of woman you want." Ustadz Soleh.

"But don't ask like Ayesha, she's too flirtatious. Don't ask like the Goddess, she's too greedy, don't ask like the Light, she's too quiet, let alone like Zahira, she's too narcissistic, just look straight." Ustadz Usman.

"Sorry everyone, whether the search or the introduction should not be stopped, just let God find us if I am still given a mate, do not need to be sought in such a way, he said, because from yesterday the results were nil." Fadlan.

Fadlan felt that the introduction to some women yesterday had made him dizzy, some refused some were rejected.

"But your daughter's son is so impatient to have a mother, and don't think we don't know if you're secretly craving a wife, either, you still need the attention and affection of a wife. For the sake of your children, lower your ego first. Love can come with time. The proof is that Eve who used to hate the AL is now turned into a longing." Usman ustadz.

"Say Fadlan, what kind of woman do you want?" Said Sarah.

Fadlan was embarrassed, he felt ashamed to mention what kind of woman he wanted.

"Say Fadlan, but don't ask for a woman who is a combination of Ayesha, Goddess, Zahira and Light. Berabe's gonna do it." Ustadz Usman.

"Just tell Fadlan."

"I want a girl like Umi." Not even Fadlan finished talking, ustadz Usman had cut his words.

"You want to be Malin Kundang has a crush on his own mother." Grunter ustadz Usman. Fadlan immediately frowned.

"Not Malin Kundang Bi, but Sangkuriang." Fadil.

"That's not what Om means."

"Let my son speak first, don't you cut his words." Gerrutu ustadz Soleh. Fadlan finally continued his words.

"I mean I want women like umi, who are kind, motherly, cook and love family." Answer Fadlan.

"Ooooh like that."

"Ok we'll find a woman who models it that way." Ustadz Usman.

"But Om, there's a little extra. I am no longer young, I have two children. I actually don't have any confidence in a virgin." Fadlan.

"So you mean you want a widow?" Ask ustadz Usman.

"I don't mean I don't like virgins, it's just that if you're a virgin I don't feel confident, so it's better to find a widow." Pinta Fadlan's.

"Man, my son wants a widow." Ustadz Soleh.

"Ready brother."

Ustadz Usman immediately shouted loudly.

"WOOOOY WHO FEELS THAT THIS WIDOW IS NGUMPUUUUUUL."
