Hana again swallowed her disappointment to get close to Yasmin. He lost to Salsa.
Why is it always Salsa? From a long time ago she kept me away from Izam and now she kept me away from Yasmin, Hana grumbled in her heart.
Hana went back to her house feeling upset. His efforts to get closer to Yasmin or Izam never worked. Even he already has a reason to talk to Yasmin or Izam.
"You why Hana?" mirna asked when she saw Hana entering the house in a doldrums after answering the greeting spoken by Hana.
"There's nothing, ma'am" Hana answered while kissing the back of Mirna's hand.
"Oh yes Hana, I want to talk" said Mirna to stop Hana who will enter her room.
"What's wrong, ma'am?" ask Hana.
"You better change first, after that we talk while waiting for your Father to come home to eat with us" replied Mirna.
"Okay, ma'am" Hana replied before entering her room.
Not long after that Hana came out of her room after cleaning her body and changed clothes.
"Mom haven't come home yet?" hana asked when she was sitting on the dining table chair.
"Not yet, maybe in a moment" replied Mirna.
Mirna looked at Hana, she was going to say what she had planned earlier. He was sure that Hana would not refuse because she had always obeyed Mirna's wishes.
"Hana, from tomorrow you help me in the stall yes," Mirna asked Hana.
"At the stall? So, starting in the morning, ma'am?" hana's question convinced her hearing.
"Yes, you help me start the morning before the stall opens until the stall closes. We leave and go home together" Mirna replied enthusiastically.
"But Ma'am, Hana will have to help Ustadzah in Pondok Pesantren," said Hana objected to Mirna's request.
"Here you also do not mind, just help. Mending help Mom in the shop, get money and get your reward to help Mother herself," said Mirna with a sewot.
"But Ma'am was Grandpa's wish before he died" Hana said reassuringly.
"Hana, just follow your mother's request. Poor him there is no friend guarding the stall," said Pandu who just came.
Pandu had heard it since earlier from outside the door, only he did not enter the house. He deliberately wanted to listen further to what his son was talking about with his mother.
Hana looked towards the voice of her father. He did not expect that his own father would not know of his wishes.
It is true, Hana was not close to her father since she was a santri in Pondok Pesantren at that time. And Pandu also did not know the wishes of Hana who wanted to always be close to Izam in Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin.
"Partially your grandfather is also dead, so it's okay that you are now leaving the Al-Mukmin Boarding School to help Mother" said Mirna.
Hana fell silent again, it was true what Mirna said. He should have given more priority to help his mother than to be in Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin to help Ustadzah.
"All right, ma'am" replied Hana lethargic.
Then they eat in silence. Mirna and Pandu understand that Hana's facial features are different after hearing a request from Mirna.
"Hana, what the hell are you?" asked Mirna who was curious about Hana's lethargic face.
"It's okay Mom. Hana is just tired," replied Hana while washing all the dirty dishes that were there.
"Yes if you don't want to be honest with Mom," said Mirna annoyed as she walked away from Hana who was still washing dishes.
Hana looked at Mirna's back that was getting away. He sighed. In his heart he said,
Can I tell my feelings to Miss Mirna? Can she be my outpouring of hearts like any other Mother?
For a moment he thought while doing the activity of washing it. And he decided he would try to tell Mirna if she asked him again. He did not want Mirna to be upset with him like what had just happened.
"Why the hell is Mas?" ask Mirna on Pandu when she was in the room.
"Don't know. Maybe he prefers to be in Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin," replied Pandu who was reluctant to mince words because he was tired.
"Ck, masa' is more concerned with helping others than helping his own mother?" ask Mirna with her sewot.
"Tomorrow we will ask Hana again. Perhaps he is in trouble" Pandu said, laying down his body on his bed and closing his eyes.
"Mas, Mas Pandu really sleep anyway? We have not talked Mas," said Mirna while shaking Pandu's body.
"I'm tired Mir, we're sleeping. Tomorrow we continue talking again," Pandu said as he grabbed Mirna's body and carried her in his arms so that Mirna would no longer nag her.
After all this time Pandu became Mirna's husband, she knew how to conquer Mirna's anger. Just by giving her a touch only Mirna would forget her anger.
Mirna did not continue her scolding, she smiled and her hands hugged her husband's body.
Love, Mirna doesn't know if she loves Pandu or not. All she wanted was for her husband to remain hers, and she would not lose her husband or share him with another woman.
The next day, Mirna invites Hana to help her at the stall. He has not paid his farewell to Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin. And he was indeed on purpose because he still wanted to think about Mirna's request. Actually, he was very heavy if he had to leave the Al-Mukmin Pondok Pesantren, because that way, he would be further from Izam.
"Hana, why did you from yesterday stay that way?" ask Mirna to Hana who daydreams when washing vegetables.
Hana is awakened by Mirna's question which is in an unusual voice. Then she turned to look at Mirna who was looking at her question mark so that made her have to say what she felt.
"Mom, actually Hana still wants to be in Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin because of Hana...."
"Why? Would you rather be among those people? Would you rather be told to your Mother than your own Mother?" mirna asked with annoyance and excitement.
"Not Mom, that's not it. But...."
"What's? Wh who? Or maybe you like Ustadz there? Or maybe... Kyai you?" mirna asked hesitantly given that Kyai there was her ex-husband.
Watch out for you Hana if you like Mas Fariz. I don't want you to like him, inner Mirna.
Mirna really can't let go of her past. She is obsessed with returning to her ex-husband. But strangely this time he did nothing, only he was happy to see Rhea sad or hurt.
"Izam, the son of Mother Rhea and Kyai Fariz," answered Hana softly by bowing her head.
"What?"
