Hello, Ex
Chapter 23
The ringing of the incoming call broke the reverie of Salma sitting beside the window of the room. Without intending to ignore the call, Salma quickly picked her up.
“Salma, are you back in Semarang? Why don't you tell me first!”
The question welcomed Salma's hearing, as her call connected.
“Hehehe, yes Mas—maaf. There was an impromptu event that required me to leave. My only brother gets married tomorrow morning. Has Mas Farhan returned to the store yet? thank goodness if it comes back, it means Mas Farhan can replace me for a while.”
“Then Aundy how is it?”
“Alhamdulillah he already wants to play. Yesterday we took a night trip. So, not so fussy.”
“So? Then, I go to Semarang, so we can go home together.”
"Huh? Don't Mas! No!" reject Salma, hesitate if continue to trouble his superiors.
“Why, Sal? When do you plan to return to Kulonprogo? Uh, wait and then what is Aundy school?”
Salma frowned confused at the question Farhan had thrown. Isn't that an exaggerated question of a relationship between a boss and his employees?
“Be—lum knows anyway, Mas. But I need to get back to the store immediately kok.”
“Good. I'll wait for you here.”
Not yet Salma answered, the call was cut off unilaterally by Farhan. The man across there seemed to object to this thankless departure. "It's weird, it's Mas Farhan. Acting pretentious to be a husband," he muttered, swinging his steps onto the bed. Two lay their bodies there. Salma had cleaned her room all day. So, he could occupy his own room.
Panji's wedding will be held tomorrow morning. And the plan, the wedding will be held at the bride's house. Which happens to be his house is not so far from Mr. Arif's house.
From the story of the neighbor who helped mom cook in the kitchen. Panji's prospective in-laws are so happy to accept Panji and Rianty's relationship. Who would have thought that their relationship had been established for two years. The banner so cleverly covered everything from the family, including Salma himself.
And the problem of the raids, they just misunderstood because Panji often came to the woman's house at night so as not to be found out—they thought Panji and Rianty were adulterous, but not at all. And it turns out, the figure behind the raid was Rianty's ex-husband.
Salma was only dumbstruck when she heard Panji's confession this afternoon. But whatever it is he will fully support Panji's decision. He salutes the Panji who so boldly took steps to get married.
“Mother! Father came.” the screaming voice of Aundy who had just entered the room shocked Salma. The girl reported the atmosphere outside the room.
“What?!” salma asked to make sure she didn't hear wrong.
“Dad's coming, Mother! Accompanied by handsome om-om!” he said enthusiastically.
“Astaghfirullah, Ody! Does Ody know what a handsome guy looks like?” goda Salma got out of bed. He was forced to postpone his intention of wanting to go to bed early.
“Know, dong! Mother is out! Later get along with dad quarrel!” pinta Aundy pulls Salma's arm. The girl did not understand, if the arrival of the Word was not to meet Salma, but to meet with Mr. Arif.
“Ngapain you came?!”
Salma's voice managed to attract their attention. The two men turned to Salma. In contrast to Rendi who seemed to smile brightly seeing the whereabouts of Salma. Sabda's face turned tense, seeing Salma standing beside him. Suddenly the nerveos ambushed, but if you think about it again not once twice he came to the house of Salma.
“Kok what the hell? Yes, you want to fight for you. Ask your father directly! Thank goodness –thankur tomorrow we are married directly to your father.” The word says frankly.
“No need to talk, Mas!” according to Salma, the Word was too rash. But, as long as Salma knew—according to the Word he did not speak to his intention of coming tonight was indeed to propose Salma. It is hoped that he will get the blessing of the man.
“Back, Mom! Before I expel you,” Salma orders with a face full of emotion. "Bring your friend home, Ren!" salma's Edit.
“Quiet, Salma you better get into the room. Let me fight!” pinta Word's.
Seeing Salma back in the house, Sabda tried to prevent it. “Eh, take our son also—who knows he is curious and wants to know what his father did!” pinta Sabda glanced at Aundy who was standing on the lip of the door.
“Basic! Just be careful if you see why-why!” threaten Salma while throwing a sharp gaze towards the Word.
Not long after waiting, Mr. Arif appeared with the face of his judges. The words that saw were increasingly hesitant to say their intentions and intentions.
“What's up? Still dare you come to my house?” ask Mr. Arif, in a resentful tone. In fact, the Word was not welcome to enter, he was only allowed to sit on the porch of the house.
Although the heart of the Word feels willing to escape, but he is reluctant to delay again his intentions. Aundy's remarks the other day about Farhan became clearer, ringing in his head. If he didn't say it now, it could be that Farhan and his parents came first to see the Salma family.
The Word takes a deep breath, repeatedly. Before the end, after feeling ready he looked at Mr. Arif then spoke calmly. “Pak Arif, I am sure you have heard at a glance about my intentions who asked for a referral to Salma.”
The clasping of the hand on the arm of the Word seemed to warn the man not to directly say his intentions. Rendi is worried that Mr. Arif will immediately throw him out.
However, instead of the Word responding to the gesture by Rendi, he continued his words, this time his courage was even higher.
“Pak, I want to marry Salma again. I want Salma and Aundy. I'd like to make amends for what I've done, sir!” said seriously.
Mr. Arif was just out of his way to hear the confession of the Word. His laughter sounded disdainful as if mocking, having the courage from which he again asked Salma, back.
“Are you sane? You already threw it away, then now you intend to pick it up?” It turns out the guts of the Word are that big. He was confused as to what to respond. Although all the decisions were in Salma's hands, but he couldn't let his daughter fall for the same mistake either, he had to know to what extent the Serious Word regarding his intentions was.
“Pak Arif, I know my mistakes are huge on this family. But—honestly I can not far even forget with Salma. The guilt about the divorce was as if it was following me. And I'd love to make amends for what I've done, sir!”
“If I, challenge you to marry Salma tonight too are you willing?” asked Mr. Arif, making Sabda and Rendi quite shocked to hear the question.
“Pa—pak?!” tanya Sabda stuttered.
Mr. Arif laughed with satisfaction at the look of doubt that the Word displayed. “Please think again about marrying Salma! There is still doubt in your heart! Understand Word? I'm just worried, this intention of yours is just a momentary wish. So you want to win from someone. And again, my son is not a competition item, he has a heart that knows who he's going to give it to! Salma never failed in choosing a life partner, we also failed in choosing a partner for him. And this time, we don't want the events of his past to reoccur! Try to convince us, Sabda!”
