That night, Selsa came home from the mosque finished praying tarawih with umi like day – usual day. When out of the mosque, arrived – arrived there was a girl approaching Umi.
“ Assalamu’alaikum, umi. “ greet the girl gently.
“ Waalaikum greetings. “ reply umi with a smile.
Then the girl shook her face and kissed the back of her hand. “ Umi how are you ? “ tanyanya.
“ Thank God, good Ratna. How about yourself ? “ ask umi.
“ Thank God, good umi. “ replied Ratna. Then they talked about what they were talking about.
Actually Umi looks a bit awkward and uncomfortable when talking with Ratna. Maybe because of the incident of failure umi asked Ratna for Elyas.
“ Umi alone ? “ ask Ratna.
“ Ah, no. “ replied umi was a bit nervous. “ Umi same ... mmmm ... it ... “ awkward it feels umi want to say the word daughter-in-law. Fear of hurting Ratna's heart deeper.
“ Same wife mas Elyas ? “ with the stubbornness that Ratna had fertilized from earlier, he could ask that.
“ Oh, yes. “ reply umi briefly. And it looked as if Ratna was smiling full of wounds while nodding her head.
“ Ratna .. “ call umi.
“ Yes, umi. “ says Ratna.
“ Maybe here is not the right place for umi to say this. But mumpung we meet, mmm .. umi want .. apologize to you. “ said umi full of caution – hatian.
“ Apologize for what umi ? “ asked Ratna while frowning her forehead.
“ Umi apologizes, because that day, umi did not come to your parents to propose to you for Elyas. “ said umi. Ratna did not answer. He lowered.
“ Umi know, you must feel hurt and disappointed equally umi also Elyas. “ continued umi. “ But circumstances that made us unable to keep our promises. The soul, death, and fortune of Allah SWT govern it. We as human beings can only accept and live it. Maybe Elyas is not a good match for you. So Allah SWT does not match you. Umi sure, Allah must have provided a much better soul mate than Elyas for you, son. “ continued umi while stroking Ratna's shoulder.
“ Once again, umi apologize to you. “ More umi.
Ratna closed her eyes and breathed in a deep –, then raised the face she had just subdued. Visible, her eyes glazed – glass.
“ Umi no need to apologize. After all, yesterday's application event was just a plan. Unexercised. So, no problem. Maybe umi is right, Ratna's soul mate is not Elyas mas. “ Ratna said.
“ Se-“
“ Umi, sorry for long. “ Selsa comes cutting umi's greeting. He had to go to the toilet first because he resisted the feeling of wanting to urinate while still praying tarawih earlier.
Umi looked, as did Ratna. Umi smiled so sincerely and lovingly towards Selsa. And it didn't escape Ratna's eyes. Makes his heart sting more.
“ Is done, son ? “ ask umi.
“ Already umi. “ replied Selsa with a smile. He then moved his gaze to the girl in front of Umi. His forehead wiggling. It felt like I had seen this girl. Sweet girl hijab. But still waiting for Selsa. That's according to Selsa's narcissistic glasses of course.
Same with Ratna. He is seen stealing a glance towards Selsa with a view that does not know what it means.
“ Oh, Bu Hindun. “ call umi to mom – mom who passed them. Mother – the mother turned towards umi.
“ Sa, umi stay a while huh. Someone wants to convey to Hindun. Just sec. You wait here. “ say goodbye umi to Selsa. And Selsa answered him with a nod. Umi leaves Selsa and Ratna.
“ Waalaikum salam. “ replied Ratna in a slightly taut tone.
Selsa still kept smiling despite getting a sniffy answer from this girl in front of her.
“ Sorry, can I contact you ? “ asked Selsa while thrusting her right hand. Ratna just glanced at him.
“ Oh, my hands are clean. I flush it just fit out of midget. He ... he .. he ..“. But Ratna was still reluctant to accept his helping hand.
“ Ah, loe don't be afraid or worried. I'm not sure you know loe because I marked kutib loh. “ he continued while raising his right hand, more precisely the middle finger and index finger to hint kutib sign.
“ I'm a pure woman. I still like bananas. I'm not familiar with you, because I'm new here and don't have a friend yet. Who knows you want to be my friend. “ continued Selsa. He used my lo – call because he felt himself and Ratna were not so far away. Tend to be older himself of course.
Ratna smiled obliquely. Instead of receiving Selsa's outstretched hand, he sat in the side. Fold both hands in front of the chest.
“ No need acquaintance. Because I already know who you are. “ said Ratna in a thin tone. “ You are a woman who has captured my future husband. “ he continued to the point. It surprised Selsa.
Oh, so that's right the suspicion. She felt she had seen the girl in front of her talking to her husband that night in front of the mosque as well.
“ Sorry, what does it mean ? “ Selsa choose pura – pura do not understand the situation.
“ Mas Elyas, is my future husband whom you captured. That night he came to my house to propose to me. But because of your seduction, your cunning plan, he and umi were forced to come to your house and propose to you. “ ketus Ratna.
“ But sorry. I never had any devious plans to get married to Elyas. “ Selsa said.
“ Mutual where anyone wants to confess. If the con man is equally bad at ngaku, full prison. “ cynical Ratna.
“ You are the one who made the plan to get stuck in the elevator both the same mas Elyas and deliberately spread the cheap gosib ? Until inevitably, mas Elyas must marry you. “ he continued full of emphasis.
Selsa breathed a heavy sigh. “ The incident happened due to accident. Excuse me. Mas Elyas must have explained it. “ he said. He understood, this girl in front of him must be feeling heartache to him. So he chose to give up and not argue. Repeatedly she set her breath so as not to be provoked by her emotions on the allegations of her husband's ex-lover.
“ I'm sorry about you. I have no intention of taking anyone away from anyone. Which means, I also do not intend to seize the Elyas mas from loe. “ said Selsa.
“ Actor base ! “ umpat Ratna.
“ It's up to you to say what. But I'm not who you accuse me of. I'm not an actor. Because as far as I know, loe sama mas Elyas has no ties whatsoever. “ replied Selsa.
“ We go home now, Sa ? “ the hot and tense atmosphere was immediately changed when the soft sound of umi was heard.
“ Oh, yes umi. Cawing. “ Selsa held umi's hand and made Ratna clench her next hand that was not holding anything.
“ Ratna, umi Selsa say goodbye first yes. Assalamu’alaikum. “ parts umi.
“ Yes umi. Waalaikum salam. “ replied Ratna while displaying her best smile to umi.
“ Chat what was the same Ratna ? “ ask umi when they've walked away from Ratna.
“ Regular chat aja umi. “ replied Selsa.
Umi tries to understand and understand if her daughter-in-law does not want to tell a story. Though Umi had seen clearly, how the look of dislike face that Ratna showed to her daughter-in-law.
