"Yes mama did not pa pa pa, but did pa, there was a really good woman to nolongin mama, already so the girl Solehah, we were praying together in the mosque, she was also polite, honest, honest, and he does not want to be rewarded, "mama explained.

"Yes Hilman, mama also do not know what kind of woman you will make a wife, if the woman you will make a wife is like the girl who was nolongin mama," said mama who still hasn't forgotten Ainun.

"Mama also agrees, but give mama one chance to meet you with the woman of your choice, and if you don't like, then it's up to you to propose which woman," he asked.
Hilman thought for a moment, however Hilman was a submissive child. "Well, I'll follow your wishes" said Hilman.

That night Ainun daydreamed in his room, remembering that he would soon marry an old man.
"Oh Allah, what should I do, where I may marry the old man, not yet marry I have imagined how I will suffer," inner Ainun while shedding tears.
"Ainunes! I want to talk" said the mother, knocking on the door.
Ainun opened the door.
"What's wrong, ma'am?" ask Ainun.
"Maysa already knows that you will marry Mr. Parto, anyway later you must be willing to marry Mr. Parto in front of Maysa, you must convince Maysa that you really want this marriage," obviously mother.
"Why Ma'am? why do I have to sacrifice again, is there still less sacrifice I have all this time," Ainun stressed.
"What sacrifice? what did you sacrifice Ainun? here I am the one who sacrificed the most, do I need to explain how petty your mother who destroyed all my happiness, your mother deliberately married my husband just to improve his fate, he said, I'm the one who's sickest here, you should be grateful I'm still raising you" snapped the mother who spontaneously discussed the past.
"My biological mother is not as petty as that Mom, even Maysa's own sister who told me the same story, if my father married my mother's late house because of the will of grandfather long before mother married father, father, and mom agrees too, right? but why until now the mother still brought it up," Ainun said with tears.
"No need to defend yourself as if you are the truest, do not be pretentious to feel pain as if you are the one who suffers the most" snapped the mother whose tears began to drip.
Ainun could not help his crying.
"I'm sorry Mom, I didn't mean to fight my mother, but I really couldn't marry Mr. Parto Bu" Ainun said in tears.
"If you don't want to marry her, then you want me in jail, right? that's what you want, right?" snarled mom while crying.
Ainun did not dwell anymore. He just cried to express his pain.Ainun locked himself back in his room.
"Maybe it's true, mother has suffered too much, I have to sacrifice for mother, maybe I am indeed destined to marry Mr. Parto, well, I will try to agree, for mother's sake," inner Ainun was leaning weakly at the door. The floor was wet from Ainun's tears.

That night Maysa told her husband Farhan everything.
"You calm down, baby, we'll find a way out together, you don't have to worry, I still have savings, if my savings are still lacking, too, we'll find another solution" said Farhan, calming Maysa, who was crying.
"How can I calm down, I feel like a bad person who destroyed his sister's future, when I asked Ainun why he didn't go to college, he said he preferred to work, it turned out that this was the reason, I also heard stories from people close to Ainun, sometimes he owed it to me, while I was happy on top of Ainun's suffering, and now he's taking on alternating problems, now he is forced to marry the old man" Maysa said in tears.
Tears endlessly drenched Maysa's cheeks. Farhan hugged his wife, "it's a pity, now all you have to do is gather the strength of your heart, so that we can resolve this with the strength of our heart" Farhan said.
"I should be the one to endure all this, even if one were to be forced to marry the old man, I am the one, not Ainun," said Maysa, who cried incessantly.
"Istighfar dear, don't cry anymore, surely this problem can be finished really, I've said, this is just a matter of debt, I will try to pay it off," said Farhan embraced Maysa.
"It's not just a matter of debt, Ainun has suffered a lot since he was a child, we did live together, but he always sacrificed for me, even though I am his brother, he said, I should have sacrificed for my sister, I deserve punishment, from the beginning what she had was always mine, she gave it all, I was really evil," maysa blamed herself.
Maysa was very guilty, he remembered how sick Ainun had been since he was a child, where his mother always put herself before Ainun.
