146. Worried

"I'm going to retire" Galang said from the other end, as he spoke on a phone call with Erna.

"When?" Ask Erna.

"This year" said Galang.

In the past month, they have been communicating over the phone. Precisely, after Galang came to Jakarta and proposed to Bella for her son, Typhoon.

Yes, only the galang is now the talkative friend of Erna. How not? Typhoon is busy with his work. Pinky has started to get busy with her college which is increasingly in demand for practice. Thunder is the same as Pinky. He entered the final semester of his S1 program. Therefore, Erna was alone at home, with her domestic assistant.

"If I were, I would move out of this official house" Erna said.

The bar at the end was silent.

"Actually still given time, a maximum of half a year. It's just, I miss my parents' house. Besides, let this house be occupied by others. I have no right to this house. This house belongs to the State" Erna explained.

"Do you remember where my parents were?" Ask Erna.

"Yes, even though your father occupied the official house at that time, I often accompanied him to his private home first."

Erna smiled her wishful thinking back to decades ago. Where he still wears a white-gray uniform. At that time, his father invited Erna to school. Erna remembered very well, if Galang was the one driving his father's car. At that time, the vibrations of love between them had grown, but Galang had not said anything to Erna, as a form of intertwined romantic story between himself and Galang.

Unexpected by Erna. Her father took Erna to visit her grandfather's house. At that time, his grandmother had died. Erna's father came to visit Erna's grandfather who was retired at that time.

Arriving at the grandfather's house, Erna's father chatted with Erna's grandfather in the living room. Erna sat in the courtyard of the house. There is a water guava tree that is bearing fruit. While Galang, standing beside the entrance with a flat facial expression.

Erna who was very interested in Galang, tried to ask the galang to climb the guava tree and take the guava fruit. But the staff refused it. Because of the rejection, Erna finally ventured to climb the tree. Unfortunately, not the guava that Erna got, but she slipped and fell.

Erna's knee was bleeding, seeing that, Galang swiftly carried Erna and treated Erna's wounds. At that time the feeling that Erna had deepened on the figure of Galang.

"Did you remember I fell from a water guava tree?" Ask Erna again.

There was laughter at the end of there. A voice of laughter that Erna never forgot.

"Kok laughs the hell mas?" Ask Erna.

"Yes, remember, there was a pretentious high school boy, climbing a water guava tree. His knee is injured. Legs swollen. I pick him up and treat his wound. In very pretty and funny," recalls Galang.

Erna smiled when she heard Galang's words.

"Hmmmm, Iris. I'm sorry before, if I'm talking about this."

"What?"

"The issue of the will of Amoroso.... Is....." He stopped his words.

"What?" Ask Erna.

"Hmmm.I'm afraid you're offended."

"Tell me,"

"Later this year I retired, it was clear I was back to being an ordinary person. Will you bring forth the will of Amoroso, about us? Then live with me. I'll buy a house for us."

Erna was silent. His eyes immediately looked at the photo of Amoroso that was still plastered in the family room.

"Erna?"

Erna was still silent.

"Are you still there?"

"D-g-yes." Sahut Erna's.

"Do you still love me?"

Erna was silent again.

"Mas, yes, yes. I forgot I had an appointment with the doctor today." Erna makes excuses so she can end the phone call.

"You sick? What pain?" Ask Galang.

It is still as before. He had a huge concern for Erna.

"No mas, I'm just a health check-up."

"Oh. okay, I thought you were sick. Yes, be careful on the road. I hope I'll hear some good news about my question soon. Erna, I'm waiting for your answer. Suppose our marriage relationship later must be kept secret and live far away on the edge of the city I will do. Most importantly, I want to make up for all the time we've ever left."

"Assalamualaikum," Erna said, without responding to Galang's earlier remarks.

"Wa-wa-waalaikumsalam.." There was a disappointed tone of voice from the other end.

Erna immediately ended her phone call and fell silent on the sofa. His eyes continued to stare at the photo of Amoroso that was right in front of him.

"Mas, what should I do. I was afraid, if I was considered happy about your departure and took the opportunity to reunite with Galang. Although I know, what is written in your last letter is asking me to unite with Galang, if possible. His circumstances may be mas, because Galang does not have a wife or descendants of anyone. Only Typhoon is Galang's son. But is this story still continuing?" Erna Mumbles.

....

Bella looks nervous when she just came out of her room. The typhoon looks at him with a look of admiration. Yes, they will carry out photos to complete the certification of marriage conditions, which will be submitted to the officer who will process marriage licenses for members of the Police.

Bella wears a white shirt, while her hair is covered by a matching veil. Bella looks even more beautiful by wearing that veil. Typhoon did not even blink both eyes.

"God willing.." Typhoon Mumbles.

Berta just smiled at the Typhoon who admired his daughter.

"A-ayo's leaving," Bella said.

"I-i-iya," said Typhoon, grabbing his car keys from his pants pocket.

"Why you?" Bella asked as she looked at the Typhoon timidly.

"You're beautiful, like an angel."

Bella put on her smile and lowered her gaze.

"Then this is getting my spirit. Come on," Typhoon moved closer to Bella and immediately took Bella's hand and invited her to leave immediately.

"Ehemmm," Berta mendehem.

The typhoon stopped its steps and turned towards Berta.

"Astaghfiullah!" The typhoon slapped his forehead and approached Berta.

"Oh mami, sorry, Typhoon and Bella go first huh.." The typhoon grabbed Berta's hand and kissed Berta's back.

"Somewhere yes, look at the hooded bella, you forget everything" Berta protested.

"I'm sorry mam, suer.mommy's son is so beautiful, so I'm kind of getting so grudged," Typhoon smiled clumsily.

"Halahhh, the reason you are Pan, just say it is impatient," Canda Berta.

The typhoon scratched his head that was not itchy, then he blushed in embarrassment.

"Yes there to go. Let his business run fast," said Berta.

"Yes, thank you, Mama." Typhoon grabbed Berta's hand and again kissed the back of his prospective in-law's hand.

"How many times have you kissed Mom's hand?" Ask Berta.

"Huh? Was it mam?" Typhoon is like forgetting memories.

"That's it, that's not Bella yet,"

"Gosh, my mom's kid made me forget anything" Typhoon patted her on the forehead again.

"Lebay ah," Bella laughed amusedly and approached Berta.

"Mam, Bella's leaving first."

"Dear dear, beautiful child mami," Berta kissed both of Bella's cheeks and let Bella hug and kiss the back of her hand.

"Assalamualaikum" said Bella and Typhoon.

"Waalaikumsalam" Berta said. Then, Berta smiled to see Bella and Typhoon walking away from the family room.

"O Allah, please, take care of my children who are getting married. I beg of God. Nothing is impossible for you. Only You can do wonders, only you can grant all the wishes of your people. I beg of God... Give happiness to Bella and Typhoon. Give a beautiful path and keep away from all obstacles and obstacles. Aamiin," Berta's prayer in his heart.

Although Berta's hope of Pongki was not granted, it did not make him stop believing in the wonders and goodness of God. Instead, the disappointment made Berta understand, how God is all-knowing which is best for his people.

Berta was a convert, with the events he was experiencing at this time. It brings him closer to the creator. It was all because of the Typhoon as well. During a difficult time, Typhoon continues to look after and direct the Pongki family with good things. Remind them there is no better listener than the creator.

Typhoon, the future son-in-law who was highly expected by Berta and Pongki. Will Typhoon and Bella's marriage plan work?
