Black Heaven

I am ready, though,

The flashback

The news of Sarah's ummi return from the hospital has been heard in the princess' cottage. Rahma also intends to see the condition of ummi Sarah mumpung no task whatsoever today. He went alone to ndalem after locking the gate of the room, because all the students were in school.

The atmosphere in the house ummi Sarah felt lonely. There was no one in the house. Finally, Rahma took the initiative to find Sumi— mbok, a household assistant who works at Sarah's ummi house.

"Mbok, ummi's at home? how lonely?" asked Rahma after meeting Sumi's mom who was washing clothes behind the kitchen.

"ummi's in the room, Ma'am! there was Ning Firda inside," Sumi said without looking at Rahma, setting a timer for the final rinse.

After leaving for Sumi's mother, Rahma finally returned to Sarah's ummi house. He swung a step towards the room of the woman who had been nurturing him in the pesantren. Rahma stopped her steps right in front of the slightly open door of the room.

Rahma raised her right hand and prepared to knock on the door. However, his hand came back down when Rahma's sense of hearing heard the serious chatter going on inside there. He decided to lean against the wall of the room while stealing an interesting chat between ummi Sarah and Firda.

"Firda actually pity Mi see Aji, she has not had a child until now." Firdas.

"yes son, but how else, indeed God has not given confidence to them." ummi Sarah

"why didn't Ummi advise Aji to get married again?" ask Firda.

"ummi can't bear it, son. Aji and Intan love each other. Ummi can see if their love is very big, how can ummi take the heart to get Aji to polygamy?" ummi Sarah's.

"Mi, polygamy doesn't make us lose our husbands, does Mi? me and ummi both have honey, but we remain happy and there is no problem with the husband" said Firda.

Rahma rolled her eyes after hearing the chatter inside Sarah's ummi room. He was thinking about something after hearing the answer that ummi Sarah said.

"It seems, being a second wife is not too bad. Did I just ask myself to be Gus Aji's wife?" murmured Rahma with a soft voice.

Rahma was still in her place while listening to the ummi chatter of Sarah and Firda. He also began to string words to be said to ummi Sarah later. His mind started to float around while imagining what it was like to be Aji's wife.

Rahma's daydreams should just fade away when she hears the chatter again in the room. He tidied up his hood before entering the room. Rahma stood at the door and began to knock several times. Rahma displayed a very sweet smile when she saw Firda open the door.

"Please enter!" said Firda while giving way to Rahma, "Please accompany Ummi for a moment, Yes! I want to take Dillah to the room first" Firda said before passing from Sarah's ummi room.

Now, in that room lived ummi Sarah and Rahma. The girl sat on the side of the bed while looking at ummi Sarah with a very sweet smile.

"How is ummi?" rahma asked in a very calm voice.

"As you can see, ummi is fine" said ummi Sarah, staring intensely at Rahma.

The conversation began to sound in the room. Umm Sarah discussed the state of the boarding school with Rahma, because the girl was one of the caretakers there. Umm Sarah did not stop laughing because Rahma kept comforting her.

"Mi, I'm sorry because I was sassy to hear the chat ummi and ning Firda. At first I was accidentally Mi, but for a long time I became interested in hearing it," Rahma said after a few minutes of silence.

"I just want to convey, that I am willing to be the second wife of Gus Aji if indeed Gus Aji intends polygamy," said Rahma with her head bowed.

"are you sure of your decision, Rahma?" ask ummi Sarah with a view that can not be separated from Rahma.

"I'm sure, Mi. I don't care if I have to be Gus Aji's second wife. I am tired of heartbreak. My age is already a lot, Mi," said Rahma while looking at ummi Sarah with a hopeful look.

The words spoken by Rahma managed to make ummi Sarah filled. He felt guilty for several times failing to match Rahma. Maybe there is nothing wrong if you match Rahma with Aji, after all Intan remains Aji's wife.

"later ummi think again because only Aji can decide all this," said ummi Sarah while patting Rahma's arm.

Rahma could breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Sarah's ummi answer, although there was no certainty, at least she could still hope. The ideals that had been buried now reappeared, becoming a second wife did not seem too bad.

Flashback.

...🌹🌹🌹🌹...

The atmosphere in Sarah's ummi room suddenly quiet. Aji just flinch after listening to a long sentence that was said ummi Sarah. He still could not believe if his mother told him to polygamy.

"How's Ji? do you agree?" ummi Sarah patted Aji's thigh.

Aji's gaze was straight ahead. He was still thinking about the orders uttered by ummi Sarah. He could no longer answer a question whose answer was obvious.

"Sorry Mi, until whenever Aji will not marry again!" said Aji while staring at the black bead ummi Sarah, "Aji is already happy with Intan even though we do not have a complement in the household. Ummi don't worry about momongan ya, Mi!" said Aji with a view that can not be separated from ummi Sarah.

"But Ji, ummi and this brother are getting older. Ummi would love to hold your child, ummi is afraid if someday can not carry your child because ummi is sick or Ummi has returned to Rahmatullah," said Ummi Sarah with hopeful eyes.

Aji raised one eyebrow after hearing Sarah's ummi speech, he was astonished to see the ummi thought of Sarah suddenly wavering and worrying about things that had not happened, "it should be ummi not to behave like this, it is, didn't ummi already know that we shouldn't worry about things that haven't happened yet?" ask Aji with a look that can not be separated from ummi Sarah.

Umm Sarah just kept quiet, she just stared at Aji with eyes full of disappointment. A heavy sigh was heard there, the burden on the heart of ummi Sarah felt more and more after remembering the words of Rahma last afternoon.

"Ummi should rest first, Aji should also rest Mi," said Aji before passing from the presence of ummi Sarah.
