The clear thread fell back from the eye of a girl who was leaning against the wall of the room. The pain again attacked his heart when he heard the rejection of the woman he had considered as mother.
Disappointment can be felt, although this has been predicted Intan since the beginning decided to meet Umm Sarah in Jombang, but hearing the rejection was so stifling in the chest. Once again Intan must fight to get the blessing of Umm Sarah.
Intan rushes away from the place so as not to be caught if he steals the talk of Ummi Sarah and Aji. Intan hurriedly moved away from the room, he chose to be alone in the living room while thinking about how his steps were after this.
"Oh my God, what should I do after this?" Intan monologues with his head that looks up because it holds tears that are difficult to hold.
Intan immediately wiped her tears when she heard the footsteps of someone from the family room towards the living room. Intan tries to hide her sadness, especially when she learns that it is the sound of Aji's steps.
"Why are you here alone?" aji asked after finding Intan sitting in the living room alone.
"Inspiration, Gus!" seloroh Intan with a thin smile that makes it look even sweeter, "Gus, can take me to the aunt's house now?" tanya Intan while looking at Aji.
"why rush?" aji asked after sitting a bit away from Intan.
"I can't wait to see Auntie, Gus." Intan turned her eyes the other way. He did not want to see those shady eyes that were staring at him.
Aji was only silent after seeing Intan's expression. He could see if the girl was in the midst of unrest. However, Aji did not want to ask anything to Intan at this time, because he himself already knew that Intan was not easy to say his heart.
"Yes already. You get ready first, after this I take you home. I'll pick you up in two days before we go back to Tangerang." Finally Aji followed what Intan wanted.
Intan moved from her seat after hearing Aji's reply. He walked to Ninis's room to prepare for his Aunt's house.
"Ning, I want to go straight to Bibi's house after this," Intan said after entering Ninis' room.
"Why rush?" ask Ninis.
"I've missed auntie, Ning." Intan looked at Ninis with a very sweet smile.
"you should have gone to your parents' tomb first, Tan!" ninis proposal that makes Intan stunned.
Intan completely forgot that in this city his parents were buried. He stops his current activities, then immediately exits Ninis' room to look for Aji.
"Gus, I want to go to the grave of my father first, I will go home to my aunt after Ashar" Intan said after meeting Aji in the living room.
"Then just now, the rain stops" Aji said when he saw the situation outside his home.
The two of them went straight to the tomb without saying goodbye to Umm Sarah, because she was resting after a debate with her own son. The departure of Intan and Aji is known by Rahma who just arrived at the side page.
"Where are the two of them going?" murmured Rahma as Aji's car passed from before her.
***
"Tan!" said Aji. He could not bear the change in Intan's current attitude.
Intan turned her gaze towards Aji, "what's up, Gus?" tanya Intan while looking at Aji with my eyes.
"What are you thinking? is there something that's bothering you?" asked Aji without looking at Intan.
A heavy sigh could be heard on Aji's side. It can be ascertained, if Intan is currently thinking about heavy things. Aji could figure that out, but he didn't know where the problem was.
"Ummi Sarah must have known, right if I have a lot of tattoos?" Intan looked at Aji, she could clearly see the change in Aji's expression.
"Where do you know?" Aji investigated while staring intan intensely, he was surprised because the problem he was covering was already known by Intan.
"Roman!" intan said with a flat facial expression. He suddenly disliked calling the girl, "it seemed like she was the one who complained to Umm Sarah. I just met him in the kitchen and he said that Umm Sarah knows everything." Intan took out all the grunts that were in her heart.
Aji became furious after hearing the explanation from Intan. He is upset with the girl named Rahma, how dare the girl ruin all her plans, "don't worry, Tan! I must be fighting for you!" said Aji while staring at Intan.
Intan just kept quiet, he didn't know what to say. Right now all he can do is surrender even though he is not willing if God writes the name of another man in his life line. The atmosphere of the car was quiet again, both were immersed in their minds until the car arrived at a public cemetery in one of the areas in Jombang.
The public burial place in the corner of the village was quiet, especially after several hours of rain. The ground was still wet because of the rain that had just subsided.
Intan shed his tears when he saw two adjoining centers. He was stunned when he saw the name yes engraved on the tombstone. A great longing made his chest tight.
"Dad, Ibuk ... Intan's home!" intan said with a voice that shook when his hand touched his father's belly button.
Aji patted Intan on the shoulder, he gave a code to Intan to immediately read tahlil as people in general do. Aji led the tahlil this time. Intan lowered her head even more when she heard the melodious voice of the young ustad who was beside her.
"Dad, Ibuk ... Intan came here to bring Intan's future husband, but if Allah wills him. Dad, Intan is sorry because Intan can't be a woman who prays as she wishes."
