MY IMAM

103

Naima was still pensive in her room. He sat on the bed hugging his knees, resting his chin on it.

He thought about his mother's words. His mother told him to think well. But as if it were a request. How not mother praised the man in front of her as if he was the right man to accompany her.

Naima then took a tired breath and laid her body, trying to close her eyes, but could not.

Repeatedly changing his sleeping position but nil. Just like his eyes can't be perfectly closed.

To accept means to betray his heart. Refusing to hesitate for fear of making his mother's hopes disappear.

Tried repeatedly to examine his mother's words that love would come from habituation. Accustomed to meeting and being together. But his heart still hesitated because there was the name of someone tucked there.

The decision must be made immediately. It is difficult but still have to dare to make a choice.

Naima's eyes finally closed, because tired of thinking Naima went to dreamland. Hope tomorrow there will be a more beautiful destiny for her.

Elsewhere, Alvian glanced at the phone on his left pillow. The phone repeatedly shook but he was reluctant to answer the call. It looks like Alvian is tired, his trip to Yogyakarta which was originally planned to leave after Ashar, finally after the magrib even before isya he can just leave. He is upset at his assistant making an impromptu schedule to meet with clients. Akhrii he had to delay to meet the figure he was missing.

This time he just wanted to close his eyes so that when his eyes were open the day had changed and the night had changed in the morning. But the sound of his cellphone that continues to vibrate as if met his eyes that hpir sleep. Finally he took the phone, but not to answer the call of someone who was waiting for him to answer the phone but rather to sink his face under the pillow and look into his eyes.

Although her heart was not as bright as the sun this morning, Naima was quite happy to see her mother who was able to get out of bed. That means his mother is now improving.

Today there is much for Naima to do. Today is the schedule he controls the convection that his mother has been managing. Although not too far from home, Naima is not like her mother who is there every day. Naima only comes once every three days there, Naima does not want to take risks and take care of her mother. Sania's only sister is staying at her friend's house because there is a research task that thirst to be done together with. temann. Naima did not want anything bad to happen to her mother when she was going to the convection.

After Naima finished making breakfast, she called her mother for breakfast together. How happy Naima saw her mother can already sit in front of her while enjoying the breakfast she made while occasionally interspersed with small talk.

After breakfast together they decided to continue chatting in the front room while enjoying a warm tea.

Soon the sound of greeting made both of them turn towards the door. Naima immediately moved up and opened the door.

" Morning" a young man who came last night is now visiting his house again. Make her feelings come back. As his mother said he should not stall for longer to decide.

Naima also let the man in who was greeted with greetings and a friendly smile from the mother. Naima went to the kitchen to make drinks for the man.

Naima thought hard should she decide now. But it seems that it must be, Kemal came here not without reason. It is impossible to just visit his mother. That man must know where he is here. Naima took a deep breath, she believed in the good destiny she was going to live. If only this were that destiny then he would accept and execute it according to the creator's scenario.

" Drink the mas, the tea!" Kemal just nodded and smiled thinly to say yes.

" How's mom doing now? sorry I just visited. Kemal just came home from work outside the city" he said while looking at Ms Rahma.

" It's okay, Kemal, as Kemal's son sees that mom is fine." Said Ms. Rahma chiming. The man nodded too.

For a moment the atmosphere felt awkward for Naima. Looking at his mother who looks quite familiar with the man in front of him. Naima also knows Kemal, she was Naima's upperclassman when she was in school. But they are only familiar and not too familiar. I don't know what happened when the man knew his mother better.

Seeing that Naima was silent from earlier, Kemal took the initiative to talk to her.

" Ima, how are you? haven't met for a long time. Last time you came home was six months ago." Naima fell silent, even the man still remembered his return back then. Naima remembered the man used to say he was interested in her. But Naima when it was not so caring and the words of Kemal was forgotten as time went on busy with work.

"Good on." Naima answered briefly.emang Naima does not know what else to say or ask this man. Kemal is a good guy and friendly to everyone, Naima knows that. Maybe that was the reason that strengthened Naima if she really had to give Kemal an answer right now.

Ms Rahma then asked permission to rest in her room while giving the two to talk to each other. Bu Rahma hoped that Naima would make a wise decision and hoped that Naima would accept Kemal as her companion.

After the death of Ms. Rahma a moment back in silence. Kemal initiated the conversation. At first, it was just a small talk asking Naima's work there. Before then he wanted to immediately ask Naima's answer, about her proposal to his mother. Kemal is an adult man who does not want to mess with a relationship he wants to seriously live it. If Naima agrees he will not wait long to immediately design a marriage that he and Naima want.

" Ima, have you talked to me?Then he asked without explaining what the question meant. Kemal was sure Naima was already yelling at what he meant.

Naima nodded, after which she took a breath before replying.

" Mum, I..."
