Hold on or let go!

Eps 185s

"What's the first time?", asked Lek Dar as he looked at me from behind the bench.

"Choose a lek shirt. Wanted to use syar'i for everyday."

"You want to hijrah nduk? Wear a veil too?", Lek Dar sat in front of me.

I smile.

"Kalo di said hijrah kanya not yet. Moreover, wear a veil, not yet in that direction at all Lek."

"Eum, so!"

"Slow down Lek, the important thing is that Bia wants to learn a lot to be better later."

"Be careful if you want to study, find a competent one. Do not just look a lot of his students but the reality is only ustadz/ustadzah. If you want to study all the way to that ponpes."

"Yes lek, yes.kalo to the cottage has not thought also hehehh!"

"Part of you have been told to go to bed not want to!", said Lek Dar sneered. But after that he had a sad face. Remember the late Princess, who also became a santri in Ponpes Gontor.

I rushed to hug my lek. After all, a mother cannot forget her daughter. Moreover, the Princess died when she was growing up.

"Lek, now Bia will nemenin Lek here. Don't be sad anymore. God willing, the princess is calm in nature. He is a child who shalihah lek. Rich lek Dar, rich lek Sarman. Yea?"

Lek Dar nodded as he grabbed my shoulder.

"Promise yes Nduk, after this you will be happy. Don't be sad anymore let alone cry over your own decision. If indeed you will be destined to get back together, it is because of destiny. But for now, let it be like this. Lek knows you're a strong boy!"

Again, just a nod I gave to say Lek Dar's words.

"Yes continued his shopping, many-manyin enter the basket. Look at the review first, do not just see the product that is not necessarily appropriate."

"Yes lek!", I replied with a smile. Lek Dar was out of the house maybe back to the stall.

You want to know how many syar'i gamis stels I bought???

Just a dozen! The same model is just a different color with dark & soft color options as well. Though I'm just unemployed but the shopping is presumptuous huh?

In between my activities that are still choosing colors, my phone clinks. There's a call notification from Sakti.

[Assalamualaikum Bi]

[Guardians, mas Sakti]

[Busy Bi?]

[Why, why?]

[Mas wants to ask, can you come to my wedding?]

Oh, mas Sakti gercep would you like to marry directly? Thank God, follow me. But if you have to go there....

[When did mas?]

[Day xxxx date Xxx]

[Eum, that's it. How is it mas?]

[Can you do it?]

[Heum, I asked lek same I used to ya mas]

[Oh, that. Yes, ask first. I hope you can come. You are special to me too]

[Uhuk-uhuk-uhuk! Do not have to say mas, later if your future wife heard can prejudiced a non-no]

[What does this mean?]

[Heum, don't know ah]

At the end there was a laugh.

[You need refreshing Mom!]

[Huh? The refreshing?]

[Yes, Febri told me the same story about you and Alby yesterday]

[Oh, that. In my village can also refresh. Do not go all the way to Switzerland, here is also the same place]

[Really? Can you reference a honeymoon, no?]

[Hey? Could be.]

[You try to come, Bi?!]

[God willing, yes]

[You continue with your activities. Anyway, I hope you will tell me if you can come here. Yes Bi?]

[God willing]

[Okay, you hang up. Assalamualaikum]

[Walaikumsalam mas]

Hufft..to Jakarta again huh? Not about the cost, but.kalo go there again the possibility to meet with Alby is greater. Though I was struggling to treat my injuries and have an impact with my feelings.

"Why nduk? How rich are confused? Your lek said, you're shopping online in Sovia?", asked Lek Sarman.

"Hooh Lek, this is Bia's a message" I replied.

"Keep why?"

"Eum lek, Bia got an invitation. Verbal again lek, directly."

''What law? From whom?"

"Mash Sakti's wedding, Lek!"

"Who is Sakti?", asked Lek Sarman.

"Mas Sakti is Bia lek's friend. It was very close first, but we just met again after the operation Mak Titin who happened to be his patient."

"Sakti, doctor?", asked Lek Sarman. I'm nodding.

"Why can you be that special until the invitation is verbal? Where is the show on the title?"

"Where is lek. Anyway mah, Mas Sakti used to be like that but finally now he is already moored his heart as a girl."

"He likes you?"

"Yes.yes, that's what Lek is."

Lek Sarman chuckles.

"Yes, lek got it. But. It would be nice, you are at home. Women who are still in your rich Iddah period, you should not travel first to avoid slander nduk. The lek knows like that!"

(Sorry if othor is wrong yes 🙏🙏🙏🙏)

"Eum, so is lek?"

"Yes nduk. It is not the intention of Lek to forbid you to attend your best friend's wedding, let alone his place far in the city there.Kalo is still in reach only to the next district, lek allow. But so far, you better not go anywhere first huh?!"

"Yes Lek!"

"Yes, let's lie down first."

"Yes lek?!"

After Lek Sarman left for the room, I sent a chat to Sakti.

[Sorry mas, I do not mean to refuse your invitation, but my lek said that if it is still in Iddah time it would be nice not to travel, let alone far out of town. Again sorry, my]

Shortly thereafter, Sakti replied.

[Yes, it's gpp. Just follow what your lek said, next time I introduce directly to Bina]

[Okay. Again sorry!]

[Casual Bi]

"Have you eaten?" asked Titin.

"Yes!", said Hartama slowly because his mouth was limited to talk.

Is Hartama reaping his karma? I don't know!

Titin fed Tama painstakingly. Tama's left body was completely numb. Luckily Titin is still willing to be his wife and nurse. Hartama has been ignoring Titin all this time.

"Tin?!"

"Yes mas? wh why? Wanna drink?"

Hartama.

"Is this a punishment for me?", asked Hartama stammered.

"Mas, don't ask me like that. God willing, God is the recipient of repentance. What matters now is that I've realized all my mistakes."

"But...Alby and Bia are really divorcing Tin. And it's because of me!"

"Maybe the storyline of their lives should be like this mas. Like us, who would have thought that your revengeful intentions would eventually marry me again?"

"Yes! Would you like to ask for help?"

"What's that?"

"Please call Bia. I want to apologize to him in person!"

Titin seemed to think. He himself refused to contact Bia. Not because of hate, but Titin just can't bear to remember how devastated Bia feels at this time.

*****

Wouldn't the mother contact her former daughter-in-law....???

Gud nite, happy weekend 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
