"Oh, so it's true said the people out there. You live in this hostel now?"
"I-I-I-Mom, …"
"Go home now!" The woman suddenly pulled Fina's hand and forced her out but the girl refused.
"I'll never set foot in that house again!"
"Bad! Dare to fight you 'huh!"
This time the woman I didn't know her name was pulling Fina's hijab until she almost missed.
"Sorry, this is my place. If you can't be polite, I'll call people to expel you!" my threat.
"Don't you poison Fina until she leaves the house" the woman accused.
"Astaghfirullah's. What does Mother mean?"
"This dissident girl left the house without saying goodbye!"
Of course I'm confused. Fina said she was expelled, but why did this mother say Fina left without saying goodbye?
From that woman, I turned my gaze to Fina.
"Can you explain this?"
"Ma-ma-af, Mom. Actually I wasn't evicted, but I left the house."
"You heard it yourself, didn't you? Besides dissidents, this girl is also a liar."
"Why did you leave the house without saying goodbye, Fin?" my many.
"I can't stand my mother's always rude attitude and treating me like a maid."
"You don't make this up. Come on home soon! Don't be embarrassed!" Once again the woman pulled Fina's arm but the girl brusquely brushed it off.
"At any time I'll never go back to that house again!" emphatically.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to interfere. But it's not good to be rude to children" I said.
"He's my son, I have the right to set it up."
"I'm just a regular kid and Mom always treats me unfairly. That's why I left the house."
"Let's go with mom!" the woman was half forced.
"I don't want to go home!" fina resolutely.
The debate between the two stopped when Ms. Leny, the owner of the boarding house suddenly appeared.
"God. I didn't think it out. Why every time you come to this place there is always a commotion. Is your life always surrounded by problems?"
"Sorry, Miss. It's just a misunderstanding" I said.
"Your mother used to make a fuss with her fellow hostesses, a few months later there was a commotion in your boarding room that resulted in the death of Mr. Prayoga. Do you know, because of the events that enthusiasts who want to rent a boarding room here decreased dramatically? Now what other commotion do you want to make?"
"It's just a misunderstanding. I'm sure the problems between Fina and her mother can be discussed very well" I said.
Suddenly, the woman of Chinese descent stared intently at the eyes of the mother Fina continued.
"Don't make a fuss in this place!" yells.
"He is the source of this problem!" Fina's mother held her index finger up at me.
"Well, why am I being blamed? My intention was only to help Fina who was confused at that time because she had no place to live."
"Allah! I know, your goal is to keep Fina here just to use her. You must've hired him without paying him, right?"
"What I'm accusing you of is not true at all. I do have a place of business. However, I have always treated Fina properly like my own family," I said.
"What Bu Zura said is true. Even if asked to choose, I would rather live with him than live in the house of the late father," said Fina.
"Let's go home!" Fina insisted on taking Fina away, but the girl always refused.
"Rather than living in my late father's house, I would rather stay with Zura!" fina resolutely.
"Bas based on the dissident girl!"
The woman tried to pull Fina's arm, this time I was the one who was against her.
"If you're being rude to Fina, I'm going to yell for the people to kick Mom out of this place!" my threat.
"Shut up! Don't interfere in other people's business!" Mom continued Fina yelled back at me.
"If you don't leave this place soon, I'll call the police!" threaten Ms. Leni. He took his cell phone and brought it closer to his ear. Even though it was just a bluff, in fact it was able to make the rough woman was frightened. He finally chose to leave my hostel.
"So, that's your mom, Fin?" I asked for a moment after the middle-aged woman passed.
"Yes, Mom. He was good in front of my dad. When you're not home, I'm always treated badly" Fina said.
"I'm sorry, I meant to come here to ask for the rent for this room" Ms. Leny said.
"Oh yes, Miss. I have prepared the money. Thank you Miss Leny still allows me to stay in this place even though I often make trouble."
"What is important to me, Zura always on time to pay the rent for the room. But I hope this is the last I hear of a commotion in this place."
"Good, Miss. A week, I'll take the money first." I moved out of the living room and walked into the room. After a while I returned with some money.
"I paid for the next three months" said I, who the white woman responded with a smile.
"It seems like the effort to sew Mbak Zura has been quite crowded," he said.
"Alhamdulillah."
"All right, then excuse me."
The owner of the hostel left the living room.
"What's wrong with you, Fin?" I asked when I found the look on the girl's face suddenly turned moody.
"Do I break it to my parents if I leave the house?" tanyakanya.
I smile.
"If you stay in that house, it means you allow yourself to be punished. All you have to do now is pray often so that Allah will soften your heart so that he can be kind to you" I said.
"I was so lucky to be met with someone as good as Bu Zura" said Fina.
"I'm also happy to be reunited with a good, diligent girl like you."
*****
Two days before Keenan and Asha's wedding date, the wedding dress that I designed for Keenan and Asha's wedding was ready.
The white kebaya and matching colored suit I just put in a paper bag to then give to the owner.
I then called Keenan's phone number listed on the business card he had given me about two weeks ago. I called that number many times, but he ignored my calls. I finally decided to send a short message for him.
[Assalamu'alaikum's chat. Mas Keenan, this is my number, the Azzura tailor. Mas Keenan's wedding dress and Asha Alhamdulillah's shirt are ready and can be taken today]
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, up to a few hours after the report was read, Keenan did not send a reply. Suddenly I remembered the words of Asha some time that said "if we can only plan, the rest is God's absolute right".
Rabb, why is this heart suddenly not calm? Did something happen to them?
