The Time Limits
DBW 49 Promise in Front of the Pusara

The Time Limit (49)

Sakha and Adel begin to go to the tomb which is located quite far from Adel's house. Before entering the tomb area, Adel bought flowers from a florist who was always there selling around the tomb. After getting the flowers needed, the two immediately stepped towards the tomb surrounded by shady trees.

Adel and Sakha gather in front of the graves of Adel's parents buried next to each other.

💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

Adel and Sakha said their greetings before sprinkling flowers and splashing water over the navels of the two Adelites.

They both sent a do'a to both.

" Dad, Mother, introduce this Mas Sakha, Adel's husband" Adel began to tell stories.

" I'm sorry I just visited my mom and dad", Adel suddenly cried. He wanted to tell me a lot of things, but got stuck in his throat.

Sakha grabbed Adel's shoulder and rubbed it.

" Dad, actually Adel was hoping that if he married later, Dad would give Adel to Adel's husband, but in fact, Dad even followed his mother first" he said on the sidelines of his crying.

For Adel, his father is an extraordinary figure. Choosing to be a single parent after the mother died shortly after giving birth to Adel because of bleeding.

Recalling the way of the death of the mother, Adel suddenly remembered that he had felt the name pregnant even if only for a moment. Again her tears flowed.

" Mother, considering how Mother struggled to give birth to Adel, Adel so remembered that Adel had felt pregnancy. If Adel had the chance to choose like mother, Adel chose to save the fetus. However, Adel had no choice like mother".

Mother Adel actually knows the possibility is small to be able to survive if it maintains the fetus that she conceived. However, Mother Adel chose to maintain the content. In the end, he could not see the face of the child he was fighting for.

" If only Mother was still there, surely Adel will ask Mother to pray for Adel. So that Adel can be quickly given a replacement. Again it was just Adel's delusion. However, Adel is sure if Mother is still there, without Adel asking for it, Mother will pray for the best for Adel", Adel no longer tells the story. He is no longer able to speak.

Seeing Adel who was just crying, Sakha finally started talking.

" Dad, Mother, I'm Sakha, Adel's husband. I should have met you before marrying Adel but, back then, the situation was not possible. All sudden", silence for a moment.

" I'm sorry if at the beginning of the marriage, it wasn't the happiness he got. But there were only tears because I was the one who was supposed to be guarding her instead of hurting her", Adel looked towards her husband. He did not expect Sakha to tell him that.

" But God willing, in the future there will be only happiness", Sakha pledged her promise before her parents-in-law.

" Mother, thank you for giving birth to Adel. A wonderful woman who will endure when she has the chance to leave. Father, thank you for educating her to be a tough woman", Sakha expressed her gratitude.

***

Sakha and Adel are enjoying young coconut ice at a tent stall on the side of the road. The tent stalls that were near their school first.

" why? What's on my face Dada dirt?", asked Sakha realizing Adel was watching her from earlier.

Adel just shook his head while smiling. " Nothing" Adel answered briefly.

" or you admire me. Just realized your husband is handsome", he asked seductively.

" Yes, I admit my husband is handsome" Adel replied.

" Thank you for promising my parents to make me happy".

" Why should I thank you? It is my duty to make you happy. When I say kabul, at that time I took over the responsibility that your uncle took after your father's departure".

Although he had stained the sacred promise of his marriage, Sakha was grateful Adel was still given the opportunity to fix everything.

" Where are we going after this?", Sakha asked Adel for his opinion.

" We go home, the house is also like it's finished in the cleanup" Adel proposed especially the afternoon.

Sakha and Adel did spend quite a lot of time in the tomb earlier. In addition to praying and telling stories at the graves of Adel's parents, the two also had a little conversation with the janitor at the tomb.

While at the home of both parents Adel, the house is finished in cleaning. Now it looks comfortable in the room.

The people who were hired to clean the house were not seen at all. Sakha was already entrusted money as a reward to Bu Indah.Jaga-jaga in case he came home late. And it turns out he and Adel did come home late.

" Syifa, I seriously want to marry you" said Yudi who recently proposed to Syifa to marry her.

" If you are serious, you go to my brother" said Syifa no less serious.

She is not actually a woman who is insensitive to her surroundings. Syifa knew that her boss had a taste for her. Seen from the attitude that has been shown so far. However, he also did not want to be rash. So that he had been acting ordinary all along.

" That means you want to accept my proposal?", asked Yudi enthusiastically.

" I actually doubt it. However, I know our position, and somehow I feel that there is something stuck" Syifa replied honestly.

Yudi silent.

" However this feels too soon. You probably know me even my background. But it is inversely proportional to me who even knows nothing about you" Syifa explained at length.

" We'll go through it first to get to know each other. Whatever you want to know, ask me directly not to anyone else. I will answer honestly whatever your question ", explained Yudi finally.

" Alright, we know each other first until if I'm really sure, then we meet my sister" Syifa agreed.

" Then wear this as a sign of yours" Yudi pinned a beautiful ring on Syifa's ring finger.

" But don't expect too much first. The time to get to know each other more deeply can end in lembangan or even just a separation ", Syifa said. He didn't want to give me any hope. Because the point is he wants to get to know more closely the figure who wants to marry him. As for continued until the guarantee or not, depending on later.

Yudi just nodded. At least he still has a chance to fight for Syifa first regardless of the outcome later.

He also promised to be honest about the whereabouts of his son from Lisa. Will not hide anything because Syifa hopes to be a connecting mother for her child later.

Syifa looked at the beautiful ring now embedded in her jarinmanis. Like women in general, he also hopes to get married as soon as possible, especially his age is enough for that. However, that does not mean he will immediately accept anyone who proposes to him.
