The Shy Duda
Unobserved

Still with Rania who just returned to dinner with Fadlan and her children. Rania enters the house after Fadlan delivers her.

"Assalamualaik."

"Mosur."

Doctor Husna was already smiling at the arrival of his daughter. Rania had been smiling happily instead of playing.

"Maikouuu."

Rania hugged Doctor Husna. Dr. Husna could feel the happiness of her daughter.

"Do you seem happy?"

"Hmmm, very ma'am, I'm very, very happy. Finally I can date the same Duda mas even though accompanied by his children. Anyway the dinner was very romantic, although there was no candle nor was there any flowers, although there was a little drama of pesepesan, but it did not reduce the happy atmosphere." Said Rania who has now circled around Doctor Husna so enthusiastically.

"Try me I want to hear the story when you had dinner last night. But before that, I really liked your current appearance. You look graceful and charming, keep it up, I pray you Istiqomah." Said Doctor Husna.

"Aamiin's."

Rania smiled as well.

"It's not just the mother who was fascinated to see my appearance, Mom, the Duda mas was barely blinking looking at me. He's even sweating, looks like Duda's gerogi looking at me."

Rania and Dr. Husna sat down on the couch and told me about the romantic dinner. Surely Dr. Husna was happy to hear it.

"You really fell for Fadlan?" Ask Dr. Husna reassuringly.

Rania nodded straight away.

"Of course, ma'am, do I look like I'm joking?. At first I was just anxious to tease him, but over time, I began to fall in love with the shy Duda mas. Maybe you're right if I'm a quality because I tease her often, but I don't regret Mom, instead I feel happy to be able to like the Duda mas." Rania. Doctor Husna smiled again.

"If you really like Fadlan, you also have to accept the status of a widower, you also have to accept if he has two children, of course you have to love them. But should you find out first, that's Abinya the Pipit, like not you?. You're afraid you'll ge'er yourself."

Rania was silent.

"It seems like he likes Mom, unfortunately the Duda mas is still shy, but even though he does not like it, I will force him to like me. If I need to threaten her with a sharp weapon let her like me" Rania laughed so much that Dr. Husna pinched her.

"Lately your hobby likes maksa." Grumpy Doctor Husna. Suddenly Doctor Husna fell silent.

"Why Ma'am?"

"If you two fall in love, then what about your debt to Mr. Beno, is Fadlan willing to accept a wife who has a lot of debt?" Ask Dr. Husna. Now Rania was the one who was silent, she herself was confused.

"Mom, today I am happy, so for today do not discuss my debt problems first yes, I want to enjoy my happiness now, talk about Mr. Beno's problems, next time." Said Rania who was now allowed to rest.

"O Allah, I will not be satisfied if Beno forces Rania to be his wife, when Rania has not paid her debt. There's no way Rania's asking Fadlan for help to pay all her debts." Inner Doctor Husna.

Now that Rania and Doctor Husna are already restless, although not thought of, of course the problem must sooner or later be discussed and resolved. If it is not finished then, inevitably Rania must resign to marry Mr. Beno.

"Have I been on a date with Rania????"

Somehow Fadlan was happy if he thought about Rania, whether he had started to fall in love with his daughter Doctor Husna, if this time he only realized if he started to like Rania.

Last night he could not sleep, he began to remember about the first time he met Rania, remembering how Rania who always teased him without shame. Fadlan smiled back.

"Why do I always remember Rania, did I fall for her???."

Honestly, Fadlan was fascinated by the appearance of Rania when he came to the restaurant, Fadlan also knew that at the end of this Rania was studying religion at Ustadzah Ulfi. Fadlan was also very happy because Rania was very good to her children, not to mention Zidan and Pipit were very fond of Rania. It took a reason for Fadlan not to accept Rania as his future wife. Rania's age is still young when compared to him, but it looks like Rania can compensate for his attitude, or Fadlan himself who relented until he can compensate for Rania's attitude.

Fadlan had already rubbed his face, because from now on he kept thinking about women.

***

Next day. Rania was already standing on the bridge, staring at the calm flowing river water. His mind is divided, one is thinking about his happiness, and one is thinking about his debt. Actually Doctor Husna had suggested to borrow money on Ustadz Usman, but Rania forbid it, of course he was embarrassed because Usman ustadz was his om Fadlan, Rania also did not want to bother and burden his mother. Rania could only step down and wait for the miracle to come.

After being satisfied to look at the river flow, Rania went away, but unexpectedly he met with Fadlan. Rania immediately smiled as well as Fadlan, they looked down at each other bashfully.

"Assynogaic"

"Mosur."

Fadlan has been wrong behavior, let alone see the changes Rania who now want to use the game like the others, it becomes a special attraction for Fadlan.

"Where's the Widower from?" Ask Rania.

"From the garden." Reply Fadlan who has now lowered his head. His chest trembled again (dag Dig dug). Until Fadlan held onto his chest.

"Why is Duda?" Ask Rania. Fadlan immediately shook his head, not wanting to let Rania know if she was now being stubborn, but not her daughter Doctor Husna if she did not know what happened to the shy widower. Rania smiled immediately with a smile.

"Duda is definitely deg degan mas meet me, his chest is a flower of love stringing grains like the song Meli Goeslaw when love berasbih. He must have suddenly gone gerogi. When viewed from the expression of his face, he again shy Angora cat, or shy Persian cat huh?" Inner Rania.

"Mas Duda, may I ask you something?"

"Hmmm, sure. What do you want to ask?"

"Is my name there?" Rania asked as she pointed to Fadlan's chest. Fadlan smiled and chose to run away, he was confused and embarrassed to answer what, so he preferred to run away to avoid it.

"I went home first yeah, looks like Pipit's waiting for me at home, assalamualaikum." Pamit Fadlan who immediately accelerated his pace.

"Mosur." Rania had already smiled a smile at the passing of Fadlan.

"Ciiieee no one is ashamed of being asked like that. I'm sure my name must have been on him, even more than one. There must be 1000 names of Rania that have begun to be engraved in his heart, only that the Duda mas is again shy Angora cat, so he does not want to answer my question." Inner Rania.

"I'm waiting for you to say I love you, Duda, I will always wait for that word to come out of your lips." Rania Gumam.

Fadlan had indeed said the word i love you to Rania, but it was because of Pipit who forced her. This time Rania craved the word love was spoken by Fadlan without any coercion from others, of course because of the sincere speech from the deepest heart.
