🌹HAPPY READING🌹

"Waalaikumsalam" Dee and Al answered. The two of them stood up and saw the arrival of Ustad Zaki with the group, and ...

DEG

Dee's heartbeat beats hard at the sight of the woman who used to give bad memories from her past. As for Al, his hands were already firmly clenched looking at Naina's presence there. It is undeniable, there is a bit of dislike in Al considering what Naina had done to him first.

"Naina," said Dee slowly.

While Naina who saw two people from her past looked with a sad look and regret.

Al's gaze turned softly to see someone standing next to Naina, Runa aka Bella. The girl who always filled his heart. Bella looked very beautiful with clothes that covered her aura. But one thing that made Al not like. Bella held Naina's hand tightly.

"Al, Dee, did you guys wait a long time?" ustad Zaki told them all.

"Eh, not Ustad. I'm the same Al just came, too" said Dee.

After that they all entered the house of Ustad Zaki. Some other Ustad who had witnessed the pronunciation of the two sentences of the Creed Bella chose to continue their work.

"Dee, Al, meet Naina and Bella" said Ustad Zaki.

"We already know each other, Ustad," Dee smiled.

There was a bit of surprise from Ustad Zaki. "You know each other?" ustad Zaki.

Dee with a nodding smile.

"Alhamdulillah. You can talk first then, I need to go to the pendopo, there is a study with the santri there," said Ustad Zaki.

"But at Ustad there is no Arum Ustadzah" Dee said.

"It's okay, Dee. Arum will be here soon. He has a little need with some new Ustazah" said Ustad Zaki. The new Ustad Zaki referred to were teachers who had just been accepted at the pesantren. After watching Bella say two sentences of the shahadah, Ustad Arum immediately permission to say goodbye.

Dee, Al, Naina and Bella live in the living room of Ustad Zaki's house.

"Umi," call Bella Iirih.

Dee smiled gently at Bella. "Umi's son is very beautiful" said Dee.

Bella smiled and nodded. Naina had been silent since. His feelings are mixed at the moment. There were feelings of fear, joy and sadness mixed into one.

Dee turned her gaze to Naina who was silent and lowered her head. "Nai," call Dee softly.

Naina raised her head, looking at Dee with teary eyes.

"Dee," replied Naina.

Without warning, Naina immediately rested in front of Dee with both hands clenched in her chest.

"Sorry, Dee," Naina said in her tears.

Dee's eyes glazed over to see Naina. Both of Dee's hands held onto Naina's shoulders asking her to get up and sit next to her.

"How are you, Nai?" said Dee softly.

A smile rose on Naina's lips with tears constantly running down her cheeks. Really, what this woman's heart is made of in front of her. Even Naina was still difficult to forgive herself.

"I'm good, Dee," replied Naina. Bella just kept watching everything. Though in her mind now has many questions regarding Naina and Dee's relationship.

Al who saw that chose to turn his face away.

"I'm glad you're like this, Nai. It looks so beautiful and graceful" Dee said.

Naina just nodded. Her tears were unceasingly flowing on her smooth cheeks. "May I hold you, Dee?" ask Naina.

Naina nodded. Tightly, Naina hugged Dee's body. Dee returned Naina's embrace sincerely.

"I'm sorry, Dee. Hiks, sorry for being such a bad past for you," Naina said crying in their arms.

"You are so outrageous, Nai," said Dee stroking Naina's back.

Naina nodded in agreement to Dee's words. Apologies always come from Naina's lips.

"But you have received all the punishment for all your deeds. I've forgiven everyone, too, Nai" Dee said.

"Thank you, Dee. Thank you," said Naina increasingly tightened her embrace to Dee.

Dee nodded and smiled. After that he released his embrace from Naina. Dee's outstretched hand wiped away the tears on Naina's cheek.

"Our little al is already big, Nai," said Dee, looking at Al sitting on the single sofa with her face turned away.

"Al," call Naina down.

Al was silent. Those past recordings still vividly remembered in his memory.

"Son," said Dee softly seeing Al just silently not pestering Naina.

Al breathed in. After that he looked at Naina and Dee in turn.

"Al may not be as sincere as Umi, Aunty. But Al just wants everything to be okay with forgiving Aunty" Al said.

Naina nodded and smiled. At least there is no revenge between them. "Thank you, Al," said Naina sincerely.

Al just nodded and silently responded to Naina's words.

"You know Bella, Nai?" ask Dee.

"Naina's mother, Bella's mother, Umi," said Bella answered Dee's question.

"meaning?" ask Dee confused. Because after all, Mother Bella's birth had died when she was a child.

Finally Naina tells how she met Bella, until they live together now.

"Bella was very lucky, son," Dee said after hearing Naina's story.

Bella nodded and smiled. "Thank you, Umi," said Bella.

"Runa," call Al softly.

Bella looked at Al. "Yes, Al," Bella replied casually as if nothing had happened between them.

Al's heart throbbed pain. Just a casual look that she saw from Bella's sight. There was already no hopeful gaze that Al had always gotten.

"Can we talk to each other, Runa?" ask Al softly.

Bella looks at Dee and Naina before answering Al's question. Dee and Naina nodded as they understood Bella's gaze.

"Alright, Al," said Runa to answer Al's question.

After parting ways with Uminya, Al and Bella leave the house of Ustad Zaki. Now only Dee and Naina live there. Ustazah Arum still has not returned from his busy life.

"You know Bella, Dee?" ask Naina.

Dee nodded. Dee tells what she knows about Bella, as well as the relationship between Bella and Al.

"I wish them all the best" Naina said after hearing Dee's story.

"I did too, Nai," Dee agreed.

"Are you married, Nai?" ask Dee.

Naina smiles. But Dee could see that it was a wistful smile. Smile to cover a wound.

"I'm an imperfect woman, Nai. I prefer it like this" said Naina.

Dee looked at Naina with a clueless look huh. Naina who understood the meaning of Dee's gaze reopened her voice. "I no longer have a womb, Nai," Naina said with a smile to cover her grief.

Dee shut her mouth in disbelief hearing what Naina said. "Nai, sorry," said Dee regretting her question.

Naina shakes. "It's okay, Dee. Maybe this is the best for me. Maybe this is a punishment for aborting my sins in the past" Naina said.

Saddened? Surely it is. The uterus is a privilege for a woman. It is the advantage that makes women special. But Naina tried to accept everything. Maybe this is punishment for all his mistakes.

"Don't you want to come back with us, Nai?" ask Dee gently.

"I'd rather live like this, Dee. I get happiness with my present life" Naina said, rejecting Dee's request.

"Dee, may I ask you something?" continued Naina.

"What, Nai?" said Dee softly.

"How's Bram, Dee?"
