The Shy Duda
Wait around

Now Beno has information on who Fadlan really is. Mr. Beno immediately smiled cynically when his men told him about Fadlan.

"So this Fadlan is a two-child widower. She is quite different from Rania's age. Fadlan's first granddaughter Kiyai Husen owns the pesantren." Mumbled mr. Beno.

Mr. Beno started smiling. He believes Rania has ulterior intentions of approaching Fadlan.

"I'm sure Rania approached Fadlan just to take advantage of her, she wanted to drain Fadlan's property to pay off her debt to me. He used Fadlan so that the innocent man would help him pay off all his debts to me. Not so easy as Rania, I'll keep that guy away from you, I'll expose all your rot." Said beno.

"Tomorrow morning we go to town A, we meet Rania and her mother, and I'd love to meet that stupid Fadlan." Said mr. Beno.

"Every Boss."

***

While with Fadlan who is now standing on the bridge with Zidan and also the sparrow, he believes Rania must have come to the bridge to look at the river flow, he said, that's what Dr. Husna's daughter has been doing lately. Fadlan wanted to say if he wanted to be serious and wanted to justify Rania.

Fadlan had been praying that his intention was received warmly by Rania, not to forget also he prayed that this time not gerogi and felt embarrassed to express his intention.

"For lips, heart and brain, please be compact this time, I want to talk to Rania, but don't make me shy and gerogi." Inner Fadlan.

Pipit and Zidan knew that their Abi was stubborn, ashamed and groggy.

"Do something, brother, Abi, shame on me." Whisper Pipit on Zidan. Zidan nodded.

"Abi wants to eat ginger candy not let the shame disappear?" Ask Zidan.

Fadlan immediately frowned and shook his head, he remembered very well how the time he ate three ginger candy when meeting the candidate at the restaurant, the shame was gone, but the spicy taste came uninvited.

"Don't give me a weird idea."

From a distance saw ustadz Usman and Fadil who now want to go to the garden.

"There's Usman sira om Fadil, if they ask us what we're doing, don't tell me that we're here again waiting for Aunt Rania." Fadlan's Brief. Pipit and Zidan nodded immediately.

"Ok ready Bi."

When they passed Ustadz Usman and Fadil, they greeted each other.

"Assalamualaik."

"Mosur."

Ustadz Usman and Fadil were astonished to see Fadlan and his daughter's son standing on the bridge.

"What else are you doing here?" Ask ustadz Usman.

Fadlan did tell Zidan and Pipit to keep it a secret if they were waiting for Rania there, but Fadlan forgot to give a reason for what they were standing on the bridge if asked ustadz Usman or Fadil until the three of them answered together with different answers.

"You're fishing for fish." (Fadlane).

"You see fish swimming." (Zeeds).

"You see a shooting star." (Pipits).

Ustadz Usman and Fadil frowned, astonished at Fadlan Pipit and Zidan's reply.

"Let's go to the garden, let brother Fadlan and his children imagine themselves." Fadil.

"The three of you must remember yes, do not jump from the bridge, BA HA YA." said ustadz Usman who now went straight to the garden with Fadil after saying his greetings.

Fadlan, Pipit and Zidan wait for Rania, but Rania does not come.

"Tante Rania where the hell, don't-don't today he's not hanging out here. Did Abi call Aunt Rania if we wait here?" Ask Zidan. Fadlan shook his head until Zidan frowned.

"Well Abi, why is his Aunt Rania not contacted if we wait here, at least Abi can send a message if we wait on the bridge. It's mah nyampe bedug dawn too Aunt Rania won't be here." Gerrutu Zidan's. Pipit even giggles.

"Abi, send a message first."

Just now Fadlan was about to send a message, suddenly Rania came, he deliberately wanted to see the river as usual.

"It's a nongolian." Zidan.

Deg deg deg deg.

Fadlan has been stubborn until since seeing Rania he has held his chest.

Rania was already smiling looking at them, not expecting Fadlan and her children to be hanging out on the bridge.

"Assalamualaik."

"Mosur."

"Well, you guys are here. Don't tell me you're gonna commit suicide." Rania said with a small laugh. Fadlan just smiled.

Pipit and Zidan have coded Fadlan.

"Come on Abi by the way."

Fadlan had looked down embarrassed with a gerogi. Back his lips suddenly shriveled, even his forehead was already sweating.

"I want to talk to you about something." Fadlan.

"Say."

Fadlan nodded. Rania knows that Fadlan is embarrassed.

"Mas Duda wants to say what yes, if he wants to talk about love like that time, if it's true he wants to say love, I have to rush to hold the sheath, I have to rush to hold the sheath, you are afraid like yesterday when I talked about the love of the Duda mas directly ngibrit run away." (Rania).

"Oh Allah, give the servant the courage to speak to Rania." (Fadlane).

"If it's like this, I want it to be like I'm lending my courage and Pipit's courage to transfer to Abi, let him have the courage to talk to Aunt Rania." (Zeeds).

"Nyubit Abi deh ikh gemez." (Pipits).

Fadlan had already set his breath, had gathered all his courage to speak.

"Ro."

"Hmm."

"I want to talk to you seriously. My kids and I like you. If you're willing, I want to justify you." Fadlan. Rania was already smiling, she did not expect that Fadlan would talk like that.

"Are you willing to be my wife?" Fadlan asked.

Rania nodded while smiling with a smile.

"I'm willing. Be prepared to wear it." Answer Rania.

Fadlan smiled happily, as well as his children, even Pipit and Zidan had pranced prancing prancing because they were happy if now they would have a new mother.

"Horeeeeeee."

"Are you sure you're willing to be my wife?"

"I'm very prepared for Duda. I like you, I like your daughter's son too." Reply Rania definitely. Back Fadlan smiled.

"You're not ashamed of being married to a widower like me?"

Rania answered him by shaking her head.

"You want to accept Pipit and Zidan as your children, right?" Fadlan asked again.

"I take it, I take it all."

Fadlan smiled.

"Thank you for accepting me and my children. Tomorrow I'll meet your mother, I want to propose to you immediately, I'm afraid our closeness becomes a slander." Fadlan.

Rania was surprised not to play, she did not expect that the shy Duda would immediately propose to her. Surely Rania is so happy not to play, her eyes are already glazed, it is unexpected if her arrival to the boarding school, apparently has brought her to a mate. If only Rania had no shame, it would have felt like she jumped into the river because so happy she would have been proposed by the shy Duda.

"Mas Duda wants to propose to me?" Tanya Rania made sure. Fadlan nodded.

"Are you ready if I come to propose to you?"

"I'm ready, very ready." Rania replied until Fadlan smiled again.

"Alhamdulillah."
