Reminiscents

MATCHMODIFIED

Tonight is Sunday night. Hana and Ria's sister sit on the floor of Kosan Hana while snacking and chatting. After Magrhib was Ria's brother deliberately came to Hana's innocence. He said to confide. About the household problem.

Actually Hana does not want to interfere too much with the problems of other people's households, because she believes she will not be able to give input or advice that means to the person. How can he sagely advise on other people's household matters when he has never been married ? he feels inappropriate, but if to be a good listener what's wrong, he is ready to hear the curses of Ria's brother who is hot tonight.

Brother Ria told me that she suspected her husband was cheating. Ria's husband who works out of town rarely goes home. It has not been home for months, even if only a few days and even roam out with his friends. He is not at home, no longer considerate of himself including the two older children Ria who is 7 years and 5 years old. When Ria asked why she had changed. Her husband always snapped and scolded her and left the house. There was no longer any affection emanating from her husband's face.

“Maybe it's a result if the wedding is not from the heart was once Han...” Said Brother Ria with a soft look. Hana frowned her forehead a confused sign.

“meaning sister, how?”

“Iya. sis with her husband kak initially did not love each other. We betrothed Hana. Both of our parents happened to be good friends since they were still in High School. So that's how they planned to match us to strengthen their friendship. We are his sons who became a victim. Though at that time we had each other's partners.” explained Kak Ria with teary eyes. His eyes were straight up. Look at the dark night sky without stars.

“At first we were both rebellious, but the stronger we were with each other, the stronger our parents brought us together, without any affection... talk to each other we rarely..”Lajut Ria after that stopped to take a deep breath. Hana was still listening to the curhatan of Ria.

“After that, I thought maybe it was God's destiny. God's provision for sister's life. I tried to live in a household with a man I never expected. Kak tries to love her even though it is hard kak forget the old brother guy.”.

“But after marriage brother is completely determined not to be in touch with his ex-sister, he is the same. We respect each other in this marriage. We don't want to tarnish it. And a few days after marriage, my sister's husband said that he would learn to love my sister and forget his ex. He caught a ray of sincerity in his eyes. Since then my brother has the same determination as well.learn to love him.until finally we can both love each other, a year later our first child was born. The fruits of our first love really make our marriage more meaningful, until the second child so..” recalls Kak Ria who is still with teary eyes. He seemed to hold back so that the clear grains in his eyeballs did not fall on his cheeks.

“But.. since the last 3 years, since my husband was transferred to work out of town, since then his attitude has changed. He is very cold, rarely communicates with his brother and children. The reason is busy, tired Because of the many jobs and basically you feel there is something Han hidden..”.

“Kak even suspected that he was back in touch with his ex-girlfriend Han.. somehow the suspicion was deeper, and my brother felt unprepared if the suspicion of the brother was true…” is clear Brother Ria who this time turned his eyes to Hana. Hana who had been seriously listening to Ria's curses, was immediately aghast as Ria's sister looked at her.

“Ee.. Kak, Hana think it's good for you to communicate with your sister's husband well. Do not be prejudiced first brother, because according to Hana everything must be communicated first brother, so do not misunderstand the beauty Hana said carefully sorting out the words that could calm Ria.

“Ya is already Han, We change the topic only time yes..” Said brother Ria while smiling a little then took a snack in front of him. Ria's sister Hana knows is a cool and cheerful woman, but tonight Hana looks like she saw something else on Ria's sister. Something he can hide from others.

“Now Gimana with you Han.. from earlier aja aja who vent.... you do not anyone want to be castigated huh? Or the one that was wired?” Asked Ria with a full glance. Being seen like that makes Hana feel wrong.

“There must be kann... hayoooo...tales of Han's ajalah....” said Ria Kak again who saw Hana still silent while looking down.

‘No sister... Hana hepy-hepy aja kok..” Hana replied with a smile.

“Masak....???” Ask Ria again as if in disbelief. Hana Nodding steady. Though his lips say yes but not with his heart.

For a moment of silence. They are busy with their own thoughts. Ria looks like she is looking up at the sky. He said he was going to sit in Hana's room until his son went home to teach in a mosque not far from their home area. While Hana, somehow because of the curses of Ria's brother about being betrothed made Hana become reminded of the incident 2 months ago. The incident where both parents intend to find a prospective husband for him.

“Hana, what's wrong to meet first. problems interested or not that are important to meet first Hana...” Mama Hana said by phone at that time. He tells Hana to go home for a few days and meet the man she wants to marry.

“But Ma, Hana does not want to. ngapain also bother looking for a mate for Hana ma. Surely ajalah Ma, if it is time surely Nantik Allah will send the best soul mate to Hana.”.

“Yes, but when will Hana be? that was - that was your answer. If there is no effort where Hana can, even you always avoid. Many people come to propose, right? But before you get to know them more deeply, you are willing to refuse outright....Are you really looking for what kind of sech? Try to tell mama... let mama cariin for you.”.Mama Hana said this time with a slightly raised tone of voice. Hana just let out a long sigh.pecuma only she answered her mother who had started this emotion.

“What is clear next week you go home first, mintak permission 2 or 3 days. Mama will arrange your meeting with a man of mama's choice, with her parents if you can.” Mama Hana ended the phone call that morning. Hana took a deep breath again. Not once his mother did this, it has been 3 years lately even aggressively looking for a mate for himself. There were already about 3 or 4 people that he had introduced to Hana, and none of them had stopped in Hana's heart.

At first they approached Hana who finally gave up because of her insensitivity and cold attitude towards them. And this time who else will have the same fate as them ?

And come at that time. When Hana was met with a man who was said to be the best university graduate, a famous pesantren alumni and now works as an Arabic lecturer at a well-known university in the city.

“This time your candidate is almost perfect Han, already handsome, Sholeh, Fine, Mapan, what less is Han? Loss if you don't want to be with him.” Mama Hana said as they sat in the living room waiting for the presence of her mother's chosen man to come with her parents as well.

Hana did not comment anything, because what came out of her mouth beautiful must be opposed again by her mother. It's good that he was silent, following the groove made by his mother, and after that the man who was beautiful made to stop following the groove.

A few minutes later, a light blue Avanza enters Hana's spacious courtyard. Hannah was sure it was them who came. Mama Hana came out of the house to welcome their arrival, Hana was just quietly fixated in the living room without intending to get out.

“Please enter, Buk Dewi.. Pak Arya…. Subhanallah…. Quite unexpectedly, more cutean the original than in the photo yes..” Hearing Mama's words just made Hana embarrassed, Mama was too much. What was the man like until his mother overreacted like that?

And a moment later, the guest of honor came in. Two well-dressed middle-aged men entered together and were followed by a tall man in a Black shirt behind him.

And. Hana immediately looked at the man with the handsome and charming face carefully. As if it were no stranger. The man was the same, looking at Hana confusedly so that made his eyebrows collide. Hana tried to remember, her mind was thinking hard. It felt like this man was not a stranger, who in fact was still the same year he had met him, but…. Where. oohh…. Hana seemed to be awakening to something. Last met at a reunion with her SD friends a few months ago..Yup!! It turns out that the man named Amri was his old SD friend…

“Hana right...??” He asked somewhat hesitantly.

“Amri yes..?” She asked back without asking her questions

“You know each other already?” Mama Hana asked confused by the situation she had just seen. Hana nodded with a whimper. Nothing special at all, he thought. This time it will remain the same. There will be no feeling in his heart…

Seriate..
