Habibah looked at Lee with sadness, no less sad than the expectant face of the man who loved him.
"Even if I don't deserve it." Lee smiled a little.
"To me, I don't deserve you to make a choice. I'm really self-conscious about this status." Habibah lowered his face.
"Alas, I have no desire to choose but you. I should have given up because of the past that made me shrink, my guts were sometimes pushed back by reality that could not be changed. But I think I really love you so whatever the reason I have to catch up with you before it's too late" he said very sincerely, even looking sad.
Hearing the word chasing you, it really reminds me of the wound when married to Bram at that time. Wearied...
"Don't you have to try before you fail?" keep Lee on.
"That's me." Habibah closed her eyes which began to hurt.
"I'll go tomorrow, if you ask me to see Mom." Lee opened the car door again for Habibah.
But the girl didn't even come in, think and then breathe. "Tell him too, I'll marry you."
Lee rounded his eyes, for a moment then he rubbed the eyes that felt blurred. Not sure if Habibah will accept himself that morning.
"Originally you do not share your heart with anyone." Habibah continued.
"I promise you there will be no other woman but you, be it yesterday, now, and later." Lee promised, convincing Habibah with all his heart. "I won't let you down. I won't let you get tired just to get my attention. I will always prioritize you. I_"
"I just need proof." Habibah passed him into the car, and Lee grabbed his smooth hand.
"I won't be long, and soon prove it to you." Lee smiled looking at the face that looked embarrassed to her.
"of course. Or there will be others who send flowers like you." joked Habibah glanced at him a little.
"Just try, I'll beat him up so he can't stand." Lee smiled warmly.
Not long after they returned to the school. Lee grabbed his plain hat and wore it as usual.
"You've just become Ustadz Lendra."
Lee chuckled as he turned off the car engine, looking at some of the students who came out of the high fence. "Look at the male Santri if you're out of the pesantren. At first they wear neat skullcap, complete with sarong and ablution. But after being in a new place they will replace the scabbard with cool jeans, and skullcap with a hat. You know why?" Lee asked the woman who was watching him.
Habibah.
"Because their heads feel cold, and not confident if not closed. But it feels different to always wear a skullcap when joining young friends, then a hat like this is an option." Lee pointed at his hat.
Habibah nodded, that was indeed true. Often see it but do not pay much attention to the reason.
"That's not important. What is more important for me is to get married soon" said Lee turned to Habibah with a smile that did not stop.
"Go, do not regret never seeing your mother" said Habibah still in the car that stopped.
"Yes, I'll go if I need to tonight." Lee did not delay.
Habibah smiled sweetly and then got out of the car.
Enter for a moment to take Habibah to the inside, and say goodbye to Aunt Rumini.
Even after the greeting, Lee still wanted to talk. "I'm home." said again.
Habibah nodded, watching the man who had just proposed to him turn his head several times, until his car drove away.
Suddenly his heart was empty to see the car disappear at the end of the road. 'It's impossible if it's a miss. It had even only been a few seconds to see him smiling sincerely.'
"Astaghfirullah's. He hasn't eaten."
Love makes her full, she chuckles to herself.
From that day on, Habibah tried to be sincere for all that had passed, that what happened was the will of Allah SWT everything. And most importantly, she was no longer feeling alone.
There is Lee who always gives news, there is Rudy Utama who still feels less even though he has given everything to Habibah, guilt and sin to his daughter can not just disappear.
"Dad will give the leadership of the main media office to you" said Rudy on that day, Habibah deliberately stayed at the Main house.
"No Dad, Dad is young and doesn't need an heir yet. I want to enjoy freedom before I finally can't dodge the work you've given me." she refused subtly.
Rudy could not force, after all the arrival of his daughter and willing to stay there for a few days had made Rudy very happy.
But the next two days Habibah was a little restless, because Lee did not give news. I don't know what happened in the country of the person until the man who loved him was just silent.
Doubt but then pressed his mobile number, worry and longing certainly makes Habibah not hesitate to contact him first.
"Mother died." Lee's voice shook from across the street, of course she was sad.
"Lee, I'm sorry I wasn't with you. Or will I catch up?" habibah said with her smooth voice, she really wanted to be there.
"No need, tomorrow I'm back."
"Yes." Yeah."
What a death who knows, lucky Habibah asked him to come that day to see his mother. At least he saw his face first and last time. She is a bad person, but she is still a mother.
Habibah daydreamed on the second-floor balcony, still thinking of Lee who was far away there, with sadness and only himself.
"Papa please."
There was a familiar voice down there. Whining and really make Habibah's mood change 180 degrees. It immediately came down to see how things were going down there.
"Larisa Papa, please understand, the fact is enough to make it clear that you are not my biological child. So the one who has the right to marry you is the Judge, the ruler himself." Rudy explained to Larisa who was still through the arm of Rudy Utama.
"No Papa, I'm just your daughter, I don't want to be a fatherless child, while Mama is in jail." Larisa's cry broke out in the big room.
"Sorry Larisa, Papa can't."
Habibah's steps were heard down the stairs, while continuing to watch as Larisa pleaded and cried for marriage.
'Bram.' muttered Habibah inwardly, knowing exactly if the man Larisa wanted was the only Bram. It means they have agreed to get married.
"Father!" Call Larisa in her tears. While Rudy Utama just kept quiet do not want to make a debate.
"Go Larisa, if there's a man who's going to marry you, he's just your real father. But since you're not in a family relationship, your mother is not married to your father, then you should only be married to another guardian."
"I don't need a lecture from you, you're just a rascal that my father picked up!" he was angry with Habibah.
"And now his condition is turning around. You're a pussy who doesn't have a father." Habibah replied softly, not with anger but enough to make Larisa burn.
"Suck, cheap lady! You took Bram from me and now you're taking Papa! You took all mine!" Larisa rampaged to attack Habibah, of course Rudy did not stay still and held Larisa.
"No Larisa. I didn't take anything. If you think I took Bram then now you're getting it. You deserve Bram, but I'm sorry, you can't take my dad. Mine will remain mine even if you try to keep it. So does my husband, take it! From the beginning he was yours."
