Flowers from Heaven II

Eps. 30

Nisa and Arka are in the study, her father's legacy. Arka is studying all the files prepared by Rio and Yusuf who is now Nisa's personal assistant. Nisa who sits in front of Arka while enjoying her favorite snacks and green tea.

"Arkaaa.." said Nisa carefully

"Yes, why?" arka answered so gently and politely as she turned to Nisa and returned to the file she was holding

"War Arka has been 25 years, and soon Arka also passed S2nya." said Nisa still carefully

"Yes Ma'am, Alhamdulillah did not feel yes" replied Arka responding to his mother

"Yes son.. I'm gonna ask you, what age are you getting married?" nisa said directly to the core of her conversation

Arka immediately turned to his mother, who was in front of him. She was so shocked by her mother's question, that Arka had never dated, had never felt for a woman, and now her heart was learning to forget her feelings for Aira.

"Kok Mom asked that?" said Arka was unable to answer his mother's question earlier

"Yaaa I want to see you perfect half of your religion, want to see you happy, and want to see your granddaughter, Mumpung I'm still healthy." replied Nisa as she looked at her son deeply

Arka stared back at his mother, he could no longer speak, Arka saw so much hope implied from the eyes of his mother.

"Muu.. Arka actually does not have to be aged so much or how much, whenever there is a mate that God gives, Arka is ready.. Because Arka believes God loves at the right time" said Arka to calm her mother while holding her hand gently

"You are truly dear." replied Nisa by replying to the soft touch on her son's hand with a smile that was visible from her eyes

Arka returned a smile to her mother.

"If I introduce you to a woman for taaruf do you want to?" nisa suddenly said

Arka was so shocked to hear his mother's words. That means he will be set up. Arka tried to swallow her saliva with great difficulty.

"Heem.. You want to match me up for what that means?" said Arka with great difficulty

"Yaaa not really, right first if you like and there is a soul mate can continue to the wedding, but if you have not been a matchmaker yaaaa taarufnya can be canceled dear." replied Nisa explained

Arka was silent for a moment, he was again so shocked by his mother's words.

"Here also Mother and Father so, even Mother is not at all taaruf who always meet, Mother does not even know much about Father, but Mother continues to pray as God asks for God's guidance, God, and God always answers to be sure of a mate with Dad. Thank God that after marriage, you can love your father, and even feel that you are the happiest woman to have been married to your father." Nisa told her about her late husband, Alfath.

"Believed in the same promise of Allah, sholih people will be paired with sholih people." continued Nisa

"Yes Ma.. God willing, all the best." replied Arka while continuing to hold his mother's hand

*****

Today is Tuesday, where Nisa and Arka go to Ponpes to visit the aging Umma, who is no longer able to move as before, and can only work inside the house.

Umma now lives with Fatih and his wife and children.

Nisa actually always visited Umma sometimes 2 weeks, even once a month, but she always stayed a few days to accompany Umma in her old age.

Arriving at the ponpes, Nisa and Arka are greeted by the students who happen to see a car that Nisa also likes to use to come to the Ponpes. All the students were very respectful of Nisa, because sometimes Nisa still filled the study in Ponpes when she visited the Ponpes.

Umma who was relaxing and sitting in the front yard of his house, had seen the arrival of his youngest daughter and granddaughter. He was so happy to see his daughter welcomed by the santri, with his affection, as well as Arka.

Umma waved his hand at Nisa and Arka.

Arka saw him, immediately approached his grandmother, because he really missed him so much.

"Neneeeek.." cried Arka as she ran over to her grandmother

Umma immediately spread his hands, about to hug the body of his grandson who is now a grown man.

"Grandmother how are you? Arka is very longuuu" said Arka while kissing Umma's hand gently

"Grandmother healthy babe.. Masha Allah my grandson is getting handsome, Grandma's grandson has become a bachelor." said Umma while stroking Arka's hair gently

"Assalamu'alaikum Pade, Bude." said Arka while shaking hands, alternating with Fatih and Ayu

"Walaikumsalam." replied Fatih and Ayu simultaneously.

"Assalamu'alaikum.." said Nisa who had just come to Umma and her two brothers after being mobbed by the children of santri.

"Miss.. How are you?" ayu said after receiving Nisa's hand job

"Alhamdulillah is good Ma'am." replied Nisa quickly

"Ayooo goes inside." said Fatih to everyone

Arka went inside while helping Umma to walk. Ayu immediately made a drink for Nisa and Arka.

"Don't bother Bude.. Let us take it ourselves later." said Arka holding Ayu

"No.. No bother, honey. Bude is happy even.." said Ayu kindly

"Yes Arka.You will just come back here when not treated to anything." said Umma while stroking the hand of Arka who had been sitting close to him.

Nisa immediately followed to the kitchen, then followed by Fatih who actually wanted to talk to Nisa about something.

"Nis.." said Fatih slowly while patting Nisa's shoulder

"Yes, why? What's up?" nisa was so shocked

Ayu who was also making drinks in the kitchen immediately turned to look at the sister who was not far from her.

"There is something that Mas wants to talk about." said Fatih again the voice was slowed down, like a whisper

"Yes, why?" answer Nisa who is also now slowly.

"About Umma's health." said Fatih carefully

"Why Mas, Ma'am with Umma?" nisa said in a panic

"Umma is getting older, yesterday complained of pain to walk, his bones felt weak he said." said Fatih whispered slightly

"Yesterday has been examined by a doctor as well." said Ayu added

"What did the doctor say?" ask Nisa curious

"There is no serious illness if the doctor says." Ayu replied while raving a drink he made.

"Yes Nis, Mas he saw Umma now always difficult to move his legs. I am afraid that God has taken away the favor.. Just like in-laws Mas, his father Mbak Ayu, died not because of pain, but yes so first suddenly his legs hurt can not walk, then all the above can not be moved, but yes, then God took his life.. Isn't it Mom?" fatih said at length to tell Nisa, then asked Ayu his wife to convince

"Yes Nis, my late father did too." said Ayu assented Fatih's words

"Yesterday Umma told me, he said he wanted to meet and gather with all his children. Complaining also Ridwan who is far rarely pay attention to it, different from you." added Ayu

Nisa was silent at once, she was unable to speak anymore. He was trying to absorb the words of his brothers.

"Umma is very old, if Allah will take it, it will be because Allah has pity to see Umma who is increasingly helpless" Nisa said as she looked blank, a little daydreaming

Ayu just nodded, then brought the finished drink forward for Arka.

"Yes, that's it.. By Allah, Mas did not swear or expect Umma to die quickly, if Umma was taken by Allah there is no more reward field for Mas to be devoted to the figure of the Mother.. But Mas also did not want to see Umma more helpless." said Fatih while holding back his tears.

"Yes Mas.. Nisa understands.. Yes, we have contacted all brothers to be able to come here, we hold a thanksgiving event, but there is also an Arka in Indonesia." said Nisa immediately made the initiative

Fatih immediately agreed with Nisa, her sister. He is ready to help for all the needs of the show later.
