Hello, Ex

Chapter 20

"Assalamu'alaikum, Salma. Finally the long-awaited phone too."

A friendly voice greeted the hearing of the Word when the call was raised by Bu Deva. But suddenly, the tongue of the Word felt faint. The fear of being ignored suddenly appeared, only this time Sabda hoped that Bu Deva would not immediately close his call.

"Salma!"

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Miss Deva. I-This is me, Mom!" sahut Sabda, stammering.

Silence, like the woman at the end of the call. I was busy recognizing the person who was talking.

"I? I si—what does that mean?"

The angry voice from the end of the call made the guts of the Word shrink. However, the look of disappointment displayed by Salma, as if whipping him so that he did not give up. "Mom, sorry, this is my Word! I called mom."

"Sa—Sabda?! Why did you go to Salma? Not satisfied with her daughter and grandchildren!" the hidden fact behind the divorce of Sabda and Salma seems to be so imprinted in Bu Deva's heart, creating a sense of revenge that actually grows more fertile, because until this moment they do not know what the original story is like.

Only tirades mixed with anger can be heard by the Word. Had their distance been close, he would have been sitting in front of Bu Deva and Mr. Arif, promising to take full responsibility for the lives of Salma and Aundy. Not everyone deserves a second chance. But, this time the Word had intended to go forward, to explain everything about what really happened. He must have the blessing of the Salma family.

"Mother, please give me my blessing. I want to marry Salma!"

There was laughter from across the call. Laughter that seemed to tear down the desire of the Word so high.

"No way, Word! You've hurt Salma enough. And until whenever we the Salma family will not willing you to enter into the life of Salma again. Where's my daughter?!"

The face of the Word seemed frustrated. With a heavy heart he gave his cell phone to Salma.

"Hallo, Bu—why? What's up?!" greet Salma. Smiling cunningly towards the Word.

"Astaghfirullah, Salma. Are you all right? Is that guy bothering you?"

"Ti—no, Mom! Mas Sabda came to Salma. He asked Salma for Ody. And it looks like he's moved on from Salma."

"Do you agree? Remember Salma, your barrier is many, are you not afraid that she will cheat again, and again the Sabda family will not be willing to marry you!"

"Salma is trying to get rid of that fear, Mom! If he were a clever man, the Word would not fall into the same hole. And again, Mom. For events in the past, it seems ... Salma too quickly made up her mind without hearing any explanation from Sabda and Regina. But whatever it is, without the blessing of Salma's father and mother will not marry the Word."

"You still love the Word?!" ask Miss Deva.

"Why is her mother asking?" Salma deliberately moved away from the Word. He sat on the sofa that was inside the room, allowing the glass to become a barrier between himself and the man.

"Salmas! It's necessary, son!"

"Regarding Salma's feelings, I still thought, Mom!" says slowly. Although Salma could not lie to her heart, she still deeply loved the Word. Especially since his appearance that day.

Silence, the two are silent to each other. "This is the case, I'll talk to you first. Don't get too close to the Word for a while. We may not approve of your relationship."

"I—iya, Mom!" Reply Salma.

"Now, I want to talk seriously about you!"

"Hm? Why, Mom?" Salma lifted up her body.

"Do you have no intention of going home?"

"Why is that, Mom?'

A long sigh could be heard as to why Salma's hearing. Miss Deva is under a heavy burden.

"Salma, the day after your sister gets married. I'm sorry we gave you an impromptu birthday." Isak's voice cried from across the call.

Salma was worried, was her sister impregnating people's children? Why are you crying like that? "Good dong, Mom! Why are you crying?"

"Salma, Panji was raided yesterday by residents at Rianti's house. She's dating the village's neighbor's widow. His son is KADES."

"Huh? Mom seriously?" Salma looked surprised at her mother's explanation.

"Yes, Sal! How not to try! Shadow, already a widow, had one child, the same age as Ody!"

Don't you agree that your son will marry a widow? Moreover, the man who would approach me would also be vehemently opposed by his family. Thought Salma.

"What's wrong with widows, Mom?!" Salma Protest. "If the two like each other, why should they be opposed? The happiness of her banner is decisive, mother only needs to give her blessing and pray the best for her." Salma took a deep breath. "Did you forget that you have a daughter who is also a widow. Widows have feelings too, Mom. Whether what hurt Rianti had experienced, maybe Panji was also the happiness sent by God for Rianti's patience. Are you ashamed to have a widow twice?"

"Sincere mother, do not be branded evil in-laws in front of the mother's daughter-in-law. Okay? Whatever it is, dear Rianti and her son!"

"Do you want to go home?!"

"Mom, Salma send a gift to Panji. Same doain from here. Because Ody's trauma hasn't healed yet."

"When I miss you guys so much. I miss my mother's granddaughter."

"Sorry, Mom. Salma works to heal the trauma of Ody first—lanti after everything is conducive insya Allah, the first place Salma will visit is the home of mother and father."

Secretly the Word eyed Salma's chat with Bu Deva. After the call was interrupted, Sabda tried to make an offer to Salma.

"Is Panji seriously getting married?" ask him pleasantries.

"Yes." Yeah."

"When?"

"Tomorrow."

"And you don't want to go home?"

"No, Ody's condition doesn't allow to be taken by car."

Sabda tries to think of a solution. "What if we went on a night trip the result would be the same?"

"I've never tried?!"

"Why not try? Maybe it can be used as an alternative. So that we can go back to Semarang. I can take you, we can take a leisurely trip, Sal!"

"I'll think about it later." Salma approached the bed, she smiled brightly seeing that Aundy had already opened her eyes.

"Munda— to hug! Ody Kangen very same mother last night. Ody gets angry with dad!"

"O, huh?" Salma granted her daughter's request, it seems she can't go far with Aundy.

"What if we go to breakfast first! Look at you two it's like dad's stomach is always hungry and wants to eat good." Glancing towards Salma, the figure of itulanh which is meant the most delicious food according to him.

"Dad, how about we have breakfast in the room?!" Aundy's hand landed on Salma's forehead. "Well, you still have a fever, Dad!"

"O, huh?" Sabda stepped closer to them, doing the same thing Aundy did. "Yes, my mother still has a fever. I'll have breakfast first, yeah! Just ask the guard doctor," said the Word.

Seeing the Word pass from the room, Aundy hurriedly took off his clothes. He went into the bathroom to soak in the bathtub. The girl was busy soaking, ignoring Salma who was lying on the bed.

Nearly twenty minutes passed, and the Word went back into the room. This time his arrival was not alone, he was with a guard doctor who used to treat hotel guests.

"When have you had a fever since, Mom?" ask the doctor while doing an examination on Salma's body.

"Since yesterday, Doc."

"Are you coming by the moon?"

"Yes, Doc." Salma answered hesitantly, considering the doctor who was brought in was a man.

"Do you have any early pregnancy symptoms."

"No. I'm coming by the moon, Doc. How could I possibly be pregnant, just hook up never!"

Seeing the doctor glancing towards the Word, Salma realized that she had misspoken.

"So, my lunar cycle comes, so I don't really understand how long it takes for my month. Does this have anything to do with the fever and stomach cramps I'm having, Doc?"

"Looks like. For a while, I gave pain medication first! Suppose the loud disturbance has not subsided immediately come to the Pelangi hospital later met with Wulan doctor huh!"

"Okay, Doc thank you."

Salma was still speechless staring at the back of the Word delivering the doctor. When the man returned, he immediately fed Salma with a breakfast menu. Let Aundy play in the bathroom for a moment.

"After this we're talking to Ody!" word Sabda. In addition to delivering Salma, he also wanted to ask for the blessing of the Salma extended family.
