Eps. 2

3 Years later.

After the incident 3 years ago, when Nisa met with Azam at that time. Nisa so no longer want to fill the study at the campus, even Nisa no longer fill the study outside the Ponpes. Nisa's heart was so uncomfortable.

Arkana is now 4 years old, of course, has become a smart toddler and always asks a lot of questions to Mother and Grandpa.

Arkana is now more often with Umma, invited to PAUD (Early Childhood Education) which is in the Ponpes environment as well, while Nisa teaches in MI, as well as MTS in her family's Ponpes.

When the break came, all the students were ready for lunch together, while Nisa always came home to see her son.

Arriving home, Nisa sees Umma accompanying Arkana to lunch.

"Assalamu'alaikum Umma's.. Arkaaa" said Nisa cheerfully

"Walaikumsalam Ibuuu.." replied Arkana when he saw the arrival of the veiled woman he had already recognized.

"Walaikumsalam.." replied Umma with a smile and turned towards Nisa

"Cock eat it outside, why not inside baby? Which grandpa?" asked Nisa repeatedly while gently stroking her son's hair

"Grandfather hasn't come home yet, so Arka is eating out." replied Arka very innocently

"Where is Umma?" nisa asked after hearing her son's answer

"Umma also does not know for sure, there may be a guest suddenly deh.." replied Umma guessing

*******

Aba is in the living room, meeting room with guests who want to visit whoever the inhabitants of ponpes.

Aba met 2 men with a white turban.

Aba then approached and greeted the two, then sat down on the empty chair in front of them.

"Sorry whose father? And what needs are there for me?" ask Aba without further ado

"I am Azam, Mr. Ustadz" replied the man who turned out to be Azam

"I'm a friend of Annisa, sister level in college first." added Azam introduced himself

"Oh yes, yes... I am Annisa's father." Aba said with a friendly smile typical of her

"What are the needs of young people?" ask Aba again

"This is Mr. Ustadz, I want to know the situation of Nisa now. I know that Nisa was left by her husband, and until now has not married again. I have good intentions." said Azam at length and immediately stopped because Aba's hand touched Azam's hand on the table

"O young man, Annisa is now a widow and has one child from her husband." said Aba stuck, tears had gathered in her eyes

"maybe I don't have the right to refuse goodwill son Azam, but I want to tell you that my daughter Annisa is a strong woman, she always tells us that there is no intention to remarry" add Aba while shedding her tears

Azam instantly fell silent, he lowered his gaze. Clearly Azam had never been married, his heart was still for Nisa. Although in fact he always sought a replacement for Nisa, but always failed.

"Ustadz, this Azam has never been married. In the past, before Annisa's wedding day with her late husband Azam and her parents had come here to preach Annisa, but only met with Mother, and were told that Annisa was getting married.." said Azam's friend, Rizal

Aba was silent for a moment, is it possible that Azam still loves Annisa the inner Aba.

"Oh so. Why not get married? Hasn't it been a long time?" ask Aba

"I was looking for another after hearing Annisa get married, but it always failed. Maybe not yet his soul mate" Azam replied by continuing to submit his gaze

Aba nodded his head.

"The only one who has the right to decide is Annisa. I am very grateful with the good intentions of this Azam Nak." continued Aba

Aba searches for Nisa's contact name on the phonebook, then immediately presses the call.

"Come here, Aba in the living room" Aba said after answering Nisa's greeting.

Nisa who had just finished eating, and put Arkana to bed immediately prepared herself and walked towards the living room, without saying goodbye to Umma because she was sleeping too.

Arriving in the guest room, Nisa was surprised to see Azam who was sitting opposite Aba. His heart dagdigdug not because it feels, his mind continues to guess.

"It turns out Azam's sister is Aba's guest! What did Azam meet Aba?" nisa said in her heart, while continuing to approach while bowing her gaze.

"Assalamu'alaikum." said Nisa slowly keep his gaze down

"Walaikumsalam." replied Aba, Azam and Rizal together

"Sit down ndooo." said Aba as she pulled up the chair and brought it close to her seat

Nisa sat next to Aba.

"What's wrong Aba?" ask Nisa directly

Nisa was actually very uncomfortable. For a long time he had avoided meeting Azam, not because he still harbored a taste for him, but because there was the same awkward and uncomfortable feeling she felt when her husband felt jealous because of Azam.

"This is Ndo, this is Azam's son there are good intentions." Aba told Nisa

Nisa's heart began to be unbecoming, the heart that immediately beat fast he felt, even he was afraid the sound of his heartbeat was heard by others.

"Son Azam explained." Aba told Azam

"eeeuu.." said Azam nervously, and his gaze bowed

"Annisa's past idah time, isn't she? Does Annisa want to marry me?" azam stammered, and began to feel cold sweat

Nisa's heart stopped for a moment, her eyes wide open to hear all that.

"What's this about? Is this just a dream." Nisa's inner voice, Nisa tried to swallow her saliva with difficulty.

"Allah whataa this. what does all this mean.." again the inner Nisa.

"Annisa's... Do you want to?" ask Azam again to make sure

"Sorry Azam, Nisa can't." replied Nisa quickly

Aba had already understood very well, and had expected that his daughter would answer like that. Aba just fell silent, not a word, did not want to feel like meddling first.

"Didn't you do it in a third of the night?" ask Rizal who wants his friend to get married soon

"Sorry sister, Nisa's answer is already round. Nisa will not marry anyone again, Nisa just wants to gather in heaven with the husband and father of Nisa's child." replied Nisa firmly

"I'm sorry if there's nothing to talk about with Nisa anymore, Nisa said. Class will begin soon." continued Nisa as she got up from her seat and walked away from the table.

"Assalamu'alaikum." said Nisa as she passed

All were silent to Nisa's explanation and only answered Nisa's greeting.

"Son Azam, I'm sorry.. Forgive my daughter. Perhaps her heart already belonged to the late Alfath, her husband." Aba said kindly.

Azam and Rizal passed away leaving the ponpes, with disappointed hearts.
