Flowers from Heaven II

Eps. 6

Arkana enjoys the morning air in England from her bedroom window. His eyes continued to look back and forth, looking at the sight of the city in the morning, occasionally breathing the air so long.

Arkana slept alone last night in her late father's room, a room that allowed her to feel her father's body.

"Dad.. Now Arka's here, where I used to live and grew up. I wish I could be a man like you." said Arkana, closing her eyes

Arkana continued to breathe deeply, suddenly the aroma of cooking that smelled very fragrant in her nose tempted her.

"Aaaahh." Arkana's breath

"What is this smell? Oma cooks it like she does." Arkana said to herself

Arkana came down the stairs, about to approach the source of the smell of the cooking was located.

"Hallooo's.. Good morning" Papa said as he watched his grandson approach

"Good morning Oma, Opa." said Arkana too when she saw her grandparents in the kitchen

"Good morning dear, ayoo breakfast." said Umi with a gentle smile

"Later in the afternoon we go for a walk, we meet Aunt Shaina yaa.." said Papa while patting the shoulder of his grandson who was standing next to him

Nisa feels lonely, usually she prepares a glass of warm milk for her son, now she only prepares warm tea for Umma, Aba and herself.

"Sepiii yes there is no Arka." said Nisa after pouring green tea into Aba's glass, her eyes seemed empty, daydreaming

"Yeah, Umma is very lost." replied Umma who also felt lonely

"Yes this house is so quiet no one runs away" said Aba added.

Today Nisa has a wedding invitation to her fellow teachers in Ponpes. Umma and Aba were invited. Nisa, and her parents will attend, by coming together.

Time is getting late. Nisa, Umma and Aba are ready to go to the event in Nisa's favorite car. Aba, who is getting older, makes him so unable to drive his own car, because his vision has begun to be unclear again.

Arriving at a fairly luxurious building, Nisa, Aba and Umma went inside to congratulate the bride and groom who were also teachers at the ponpes owned by Aba.

"Congratulations Bu Ira and husband, may be a sadinah family mawaddah warrohmah yaa." said Nisa congratulating Ira who also has close friendships with her

Nisa, Umma and Aba went straight to the inauguration table, where there was a lot of food and was equipped with some desserts and drinks.

Nisa, who is less appetizing because of her thoughts on Arkana, chose not to take rice dishes and side dishes. Nisa immediately approached a table containing pudding and drinks.

When Nisa was looking for a place to enjoy the food she brought, she suddenly hit someone from behind. His eyes looked for an empty seat to and fro, his feet stepping not the same as his gaze.

"Astagfirullah.i'm sorry I accidentally.." said Nisa when the drink she brought wet the shoes of the man she hit.

Nisa turned her head slowly upwards, towards where someone's face was calling her.

Instantly, Nisa's face turned very panicked, anxious. His body was misbehaved, clearly Nisa was so nervous.

"Sir Azam." said Nisa stammering, as if the weight of something holding in her mouth.

"Sir Azam, Nisa's sorry, it was all unintentional." said Nisa directly because she felt bad

This is the first time Nisa's meeting with Azam came back after the day Azam wanted to propose to Nisa as his wife.

"Oh. it's okay Nisa" Azam replied casually

"Once again apologize." said Nisa while not daring to look at Azam's face

"It's easy." Azam answered kindly

"Kok Kak Azam can be in the same Invitation?" nisa's asking is actually slow, so as not to be heard by Azam, and just means to talk to yourself.

"I'm friends with Adi the groom, he's my friend." Azam replied to Nisa

"Ohh so yaa.." answered Nisa felt bad to have asked such a thing

"Let's Azam, Nisa excuse me.." continued Nisa in a hurry, as usual Nisa did not want to linger with Azam, she also felt uncomfortable

Nisa passes by leaving Azam with a man, her friend. Nisa decided to go back for a drink. Seen 2 women in veils without a veil were talking in front of the beverage stand that Nisa approached.

His voice seemed to be loud because it was disturbed by the noise of the speaker singing songs from the Marawis group, making Nisa accidentally hear it.

"Yun, the veiled woman who spoke with Azam was Annisa, the woman Azam liked since college. You remember not?" said a woman in a green veil

"Oh so that's the woman who made Azam not married until now?" answer the Blue-veiled Yuni

"Yes, Azam loved the woman.. So he refused me to taaruf first.. Azam also tried to propose to Annisa when she knew she had become a widow try" said Gita who turned out to have kept the taste of Azam long ago.

Nisa overhears him, she is still waiting in line to get a glass of the drink, as many children are also scrambling to pick it up.

"But maybe now Azam has moved on, yesterday he has menghitbah Tiara, yaa although the performance of Tiara is not as perfect as Annisa veiled" continued said Gita who turned out to be Azam's friend when high school until college before Azam moved to Khairo at that time.

Nisa heard the words again, although in fact she was about to leave behind the two women, but their voices were clearly heard in Nisa's ears.

"Alhamdulillah if Azam now has found his future wife." said Nisa in her heart, her heart was a little relieved.

"Maybe now no one will try to propose to me anymore." continued Nisa in her heart
