...Sitha held back her cheek that Dion had pinched it, his heart rate that had been normal suddenly returned to beating so quickly made himself like in a shortness of breath that suddenly appeared...
...Sitha walked towards the kitchen and there she tried to calm her heartbeat by rubbing her chest many times while taking a deep breath and exhaling it slowly...
" You are why Sitha, "asked Bu Nani who suddenly appeared and surprised Sitha who was trying to calm down
" Mom, uh-this Sitha was shocked to see the cockroach, but now she has gone to her cockroach ma'am.hehe." replied Sitha grimacingly showing her neat teeth, and try to show the usual facial features
" Oh. kirain your mother why, oh yes son Dion likes his food like what Sitha. let me masakin for you guys dinner, "
" Em. Sitha mas Dion all vegetables like kok Bu, "
" If so try to see, mother has what vegetables in the refrigerator, " said Bu Nani while looking for vegetable ingredients that she will cook
" Oh yes Sitha.. You and your husband do not delay to immediately have a baby right? if the mother is not wrong your marriage has been running for two months, " said Bu Nani suddenly, making Sitha confused to answer the question of the mother
" If you have children later, you must remain a good mother for Noval Sitha, you must not discriminate later between my biological children and Noval.. because after you decide to marry Dion's son, you have also decided to accept Noval and all her family members. "the advice of Bu Nani at length for her daughter.
" Yes Ma'am.insya Allah Sitha will remain a good mother for Noval until any time. "sitha answered while cutting vegetables.
" How do you want to have a child, Mom, sleep together just once, and do not mind either. How to have a child. "inner Sitha.
...After cleaning himself, Dion went out to the living room where his father-in-law was feeding his ornamental fish in a fairly large aquarium ...
...And there the two talked warmly, and the occasional sound of laughter Mr. Ramli was heard to make Sitha wonder what the two were talking about so that the father was so happy...
...Until an adhan sign of time to immediately perform Maghrib prayers has been heard...
" Let's nak Dion, we pray together. "take Mr. Ramli.
" Father first, I will follow, " replied Dion
" Well then you go inside first well, " said Mr. Ramli got up from his seat
" Yes sir, please.. " Dion took out his cell phone to contact Dimas, asking Dimas to go to his house while accompanying Noval because he might be a little late at night when he came home later
...At that moment Sitha also came to Dion wearing her long face, a sweet smile appeared to her as her husband was staring at her ...
" She, you ask us to join the congregational prayer together, "sitha said softly
" But I didn't bring a change of clothes" replied Dion
" I gave this to you, "sitha said, handing over a sarong and Koko's clothes that look new because they are still wrapped in plastic neatly
Dion reached out his hand and received the gift from his father-in-law for the first time
" What is this.. "
" That's a sarong and Koko mas clothes, you can wear to pray our congregation now.. "
...For a moment Dion was silent in his seat looking at a sarong and Koko's clothes...
" Yes mas, next to my room there will be a room commonly used for congregational prayer if you are not going to the mosque, I wait for you there, " sitha said developing her smile
...Dion nodded his head then looked at the woman who had become his wife it passed from his presence ...
...He lowered his face to see Koko's clothes which were currently in his hands and heard a heavy breath that Dion exhaled before he finally went to take the water...
In a room wide enough to be used for a mosque in the house of Mr. Ramli it had been waiting for Sitha with a small Qur'an in his grasp
Soon, Ramli and Bu Nani arrived at the same time
" Sitha.. Where's Dion's son ? " ask Ms. Nani
" Mas Dion is taking ablution water first Ma'am" Sitha replied.
" I'm sorry, make everything wait" said the baritone voice coming from behind.
...Sitha turned her head to follow the origin of the voice...
...Her gaze was locked and her mouth slightly opened when she saw her husband's appearance which she had just seen for the first time wearing a Koko dress...
...So handsome and dashing with his slightly wet hair adds to Coll's impression of Dion ...
...Mr. Ramli and Ms. Nani exchanged glances with each other when they saw the child and daughter-in-law looking at each other ...
" Oh. please son Dion, let's start because the Maghrib prayer time is very short.let's go ahead, please, please." said Mr. Ramli made Sitha hurriedly bow his face.
...And it began to pray Maghrib with Mr. Ramli standing in the front row as the leader of the prayer...
...Somehow Dion's heart felt calm, peaceful and sad at the same time...
...He realized that he had long left praying since adolescence and was abandoned by his mother for good. Dion, a teenager who was so lonely as a parent, never fulfilled his obligations as a Muslim at that time...
...Although he knew and memorized about prayers and prayer readings because it was when he was a child he had taught but when left by the mother, but when left by the mother, Dion never came back into contact with prayer...
...Because the mother who used to always teach, invites her to teach and pray. While the father is always busy with his work to make a living financing all the needs of himself and his brother...
**
" Sir, Ma'am, God willing, I ask permission from my father and mother after I finish my work first at the end of this month, I will legally marry Sitha and if my father and mother please I will also hold a wedding reception later, " said Dion on the sidelines of his dinner with the Sitha Family
...Sitha who was currently sitting next to Dion could not cover up her shock at the statement Dion made to the two old men...
...He did not think that what Dion said while in his room this afternoon was not nonsense, even unbeknownst to him, Dion has revealed his plans to both of his current parents...
