MY IMAM

102

After she finished her mother's activities, Naima sat by the window of her room. Looking at the plants under the window of his room. There are beautiful roses blooming there. The red and white colors symbolize purity and strength. Suddenly he remembered the words of his mother when Naima was in her teens.

" be like a rose, white and red symbolizes purity and courage." said her mother while stroking the head of Naima covered in a headscarf.

" Why should it be like a rose?" asked Naima at that time.

" For the woman on the one hand looks weak but lofty, but on the other she has strength and courage. Like a beautiful red rose, beautiful but the flowers are sometimes fragile to the touch but not easy to pick as well because he is thorny. If it was not careful to even take forcefully, that person would be injured by its duration.

" What happened to the white rose?" Naima asked again. He could not wait, because his mother paused.

then her mother smiled and looked at her, before she continued her words.

" For white represents purity. You must be like a white rose. You must keep your chastity with your body soul. Like a white rose that keeps its beauty with her. Until then there are people who have the right to take it. You also have to keep your chastity until there is someone who is already halal for you and ask your parents in a good way."

That night's conversation with her mother made her always keep herself up with the opposite sex. Naima made a wall to protect herself.

But a moment later Naima remembered someone far away. He's been here for a week now. No one called him or asked him about his work. Naima remembered that day...

At that moment, I woke up from my sleep, glancing at the clock that was already showing at 04:00 in the morning. I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water and sat there for a while to chug it down. After that I rushed to the bathroom to clean myself up. After the morning prayers I went back to the kitchen to make breakfast for myself. In the city of X I live in a small contract in the middle of the population. I who just stay alone have to do anything myself. Breakfast was ready I didn't eat it right away, I let the food first. I went to my room and changed my clothes, got ready to go to work.

I just put a mouthful in my mouth, and my phone rings. I chewed on the food quickly and immediately raised the call. A call that shocked me and had to leave town X immediately.

The call was none other than my sister Sania who said mom was in the hospital. I can't ignore that news. I left the breakfast I had just eaten that one bribe, packed my shirt and took the files. I immediately called the taxi online.

For twenty minutes I arrived in front of the office right at my job. I told the taxi driver to wait and leave my stuff in the cab. This is still morning indeed, surely employees have not all come at least one or two people who are indeed doing tasks that must be completed quickly. I went upstairs to the HRD headroom. I applied for leave for an indefinable time. There was a slight obstacle because I had to wait for my superiors to agree to it. But then I insisted, unable to wait. If I have to lose this job, too. My mom is everything, she's more important than anything.

I remember Alvian, my superior Pa Alvian who asked me to get married yesterday.

I admit he is a man I admire. But I know myself enough to always put my distance and limits on him. But yesterday he asked me to get married. I don't believe in my hearing. It felt like this body was floating without touching the earth. There is a sense of happiness, haru at once confused, suddenly he invited me to marry. Indeed, since the presence of Kinanti in the company, made us become close and his attitude was better to me. Yes Kinanti, who I knew before that Kinanti was his son. There was pain and discomfort that I could hardly describe. Is that jealousy. Jealous of Ms. Zahra who I thought was his wife. Kinanti's presence in the office has indeed shown the other side of Alvian. He who initially looks arrogant it turns out to be easy to smile and even laugh when near the little girl, he who tends to give orders but he became obedient to the little girl. Whatever I want the Avian will do and give it.

I have admired him ever since, but only to admire him. I know enough about my position. It was up to my meeting with his sister-in-law that made my heart pinch for thinking he was his wife.

After his explanation and confession, do I have to accept it??

I was afraid of falling, when I was about to start flying. I was afraid that when I received it I would get hurt later.

I see sincerity in every word. He asked me to get married but never said he loved me. He never expressed his feelings. That's what makes me doubtful, is it true that he wants to make me his wife?

I've heard someone in the office talking about it. He looks proud to be hurt by someone. Someone he loved very much. Whether it is the truth or not. I also refused to find out.

Now what did he do when I left without asking his permission. Maybe he wasn't serious about what he said yesterday.

Let me forget that, just think of it as a dream. Dreams are just a sleeping flower that I should soon forget. I'm really going to focus on my mom. If necessary, maybe I will not go back to work there.

Happy reading 💜💜

hopefully it can be up every day, even if it will not be attempted at least 3x in a week.
