Black Heaven

The morning's sustenance,

One month later ....

"Alhamdulillah .. then I want to prepare to move to Jombang, Mas. Thank you for the help," Aji said after her phone call with Rudi—suami Ninis ended.

A smile rises from Aji's lips after hearing the news delivered by Rudi. He was accepted into one of the Mojokerto State Schools, then he was accepted to fill the hours at the campus in Naungi Rudi, Indonesia, because her husband Ninis is now a Rector at one of the favorite universities in Jombang. Aji immediately came out of the room to deliver this good news to Intan who was struggling in the kitchen.

"Darling!" said Aji after wrapping both hands in Intan's stomach from behind, it makes Intan surprised instead of playing.

"It's true!!" intan shouted as he turned his gaze to the side.

"Sorry, Honey! you know, I was so happy this morning!" said Aji while putting his head on Intan's shoulder.

"Oh yeah? why?" tanya Intan without looking at the husband, he was busy cutting onions for sauteed seasoning.

"One more month we will return to Jombang," said Aji who made Intan stop his activities. He changes his position to face Aji.

"I was accepted in two places at once!" said Aji while cupping Intan's cheeks, "I was received in the same Mojokerto State MA at Mas Rudi campus," said Aji with a facial expression that looks happy.

Intan developed her smile. He landed a kiss on the lips of the husband, he was happy to see Aji's current achievement, "Congratulations Mas, finally Mas's ideals have been realized," Intan said while rubbing Aji's jaw.

"It's all thanks to your prayers, honey! thank you for supporting me" Aji said before landing a kiss on the forehead.

Yeah, that's how it is. Intan always supports Aji's decisions and desires in terms of work. He himself is heavy if he has to leave the city which is a witness to how his life journey. Intan actually did not want to be far from her adoptive family, because after all they were the ones who helped her rise from the slump due to bitter memories. After this Intan must set the heart because it will stay in Jombang— with Aji's parents and surrounded by brothers-in-law who live close to ndalem.

"Before packing we must pay to Papah yes," Intan said as he developed his smile.

"Later tonight we go to Papah's house, tell me to Kinar so we can gather," said Aji with a view that can not be separated from Intan.

Intan nodded her head, then she continued her activities so that the cooking would be cooked soon and they could both have breakfast this morning. Aji himself must immediately go to campus to perform his duties as an educator.

"Bath the shower! after that we have breakfast," Intan said while putting the sliced seasoning into the frying pan.

"Astagfirefullah!! basic m-e-s-u-m!" intan said when he felt his butt in-re-ma-s Aji before he ran into the bathroom.

Aji chuckled after hearing the screams of the wife, it had become her hobby to disturb Intan while he was busy cooking. Aji immediately walked into the bathroom before his wife let out her five-octave voice.

Brak!! the bathroom door was finally closed.

...🌹🌹🌹🌹...

The moon began to show its light to replace the sun that was resting in its current place. The stars are reluctant to appear for fear of the moon's perfect form.

Mr. Gatot's house looks crowded tonight, because they are gathering in the guest room. There's Tommy and his future wife, Kinar and Farhan, Intan and Aji. They chatted casually with an occasional joke that made them laugh.

Mr. Gatot is happy to see his children can laugh freely. The closeness and harmony they always showed managed to make the heart of Mr. Gatot become peaceful.

Everyone in the living room moved into the dining room. They enjoy a dish that has been lined up neatly on the dining table. There was no sound during the dinner, there was only the sound of spoons and forks that were mutually unpretentious.

Seconds by second had passed, and dinner was over. They went back to the living room to get back together like that. Intan and Kinar sit together while enjoying the cassava chips in the jar.

"Emmb, I have good news for Papah and all" Aji said after Farhan and Tommy's chat was over.

"Oh yeah? what's that news, son?" ask Mr. Gatot while changing his sitting position.

Aji told me about the sustenance he got this morning. Farhan was very enthusiastic after hearing the happy news delivered by Aji. He is happy because in the end one by one Aji's wishes have been fulfilled.

"Well happy to hear this news, son!" said Mr. Gatot with a thin smile.

"Gue is both happy and sad!" suhut Kinar with a bent face. He looked at Intan with sad eyes.

"Kok that?" Bu Leni looks surprised to see the response of her daughter.

"If Mas ustad ngajar in east Java, it means you guys settle there right?" tanya Kinar while looking at Aji and Intan alternately.

All eyes were on the couple who showed a faint smile. It feels very heavy when you want to convey about their transfer to Jombang.

"Bah, Intan will follow Mas Aji back to Jombang Pah, Intan please rest him yes Pah," Intan said while staring at Mr. Gatot with an expression that looks sad.

Mr. Gatot only budged after hearing Intan's words. It feels, he is very heavy to release Intan to follow Aji to Jombang. He just doesn't want Intan to get hurt there anymore. However, Mr. Gatot also could not hold Intan to stay here because he was obliged to obey Aji. Should not a wife obey her husband?

"Father is actually hard to let go of you, Tan! Papah is afraid that you will be hurt again if you are far from us" complained Gatot while staring at Intan.

Deg. It seems, Aji's heart rhythm stopped just like that when he heard Gatot's words. His mind began to drift after hearing the sentence. He tried to guess where the Papah-in-law's conversation was going. Aji was still silent with a gaze that could not be separated from Intan, he was looking for reasons that made Pak Gatot doubted Intan's happiness if he went with him to Jombang.

"Don't worry. I'll keep Intan so that no one hurts him anymore. No one will be able to touch Intan anymore let alone to make him hurt. Please believe me Pah!" said Aji after finding something that makes Pak Gatot worried.
