Sacred Love Shanum

Chapter 43's

After receiving treatment from the midwife, Shanum, accompanied by Rayhan and Adnan, returned to Nining's house along with Hannan and the owner of the house who had just finished touring the village.

"Astaghfirullahaldzim! What's your leg, Num?" ask Nining.

"It was just a small accident."

"What was a minor accident? Your legs are bandaged so."

From Shanum, the girl's wide-veiled view turned to Rayhan.

"Shanum went to Mas Rayhan's tomb, right? What happened until his leg was hurt?"

"Shanum's leg was injured by a broken tree branch in the tomb."

"Innalilahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un."

"His feet have been treated by midwives" Adnan said.

"Lantas, what's the midwife saying?" ask Nining again.

"The midwife said the wound on her leg was quite severe. So for Shanum to have a total rest for the next few days," said Adnan.

"Yes, for a while you lived in my house first. You can't go back to town hurt like this?"

"How is this, Mum? Does it matter if I'm in this village for a while?" Shanum looked at the faces of the three brothers in turn. But all three are silent.

"Why are you guys quiet? What if Shanum's sick who's gonna take care of him?" urge Nining.

"It might be better if Shanum was here for a while" Rayhan said.

"But, Mas. I only gave Shanum a day. What if you're angry?" sela Hannan's.

"See feet. Even if he comes back to our house, he won't be able to do any work."

"Mas Rayhan is right. For a while let Shanum be here first." Adnan.

"The rain has stopped, how about we go back to the city now?" ask Hannan.

"Why not tomorrow morning?" adnan Proposal.

"That's right. The journey from this village to the city takes four hours more. We'll be seen getting to campus" Rayhan said.

"Yeah .. the time to go home now anyway. I'm also curious about the view of this village at night."

"So, how do you want?" ask Rayhan.

"We'll be home after tomorrow morning before dawn."

"Yes if you want that. I went back to town with Hannan. Come, Nan. We're leaving now."

Everyone in the room turned towards the sound. A middle-aged woman came out from the kitchen. He was seen carrying a basket of rice that went in blowing smoke and a bowl of vegetables. The woman is the birth mother of Nining who is commonly called Fatimah's mother.

"Nyai's mother" Shanum said.

"Mother just arrived at this house when the house was empty. Said your neighbor was going to the tomb and some were going around the village."

"Sorry, Miss Nyai, we're a hassle."

"Not bothered. I'm glad you remember this village."

Suddenly the middle-aged woman turned her gaze to Rayhan and her two younger brothers.

"These bags must be Shanum's master's son huh?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, Mom."

"Let's eat first. It's cooking gudeg."

"Ah, that's the typical food of this area' town isn't it?" ask Adnan.

"Frightly so."

"From the looks alone has seduced taste. Must have tasted delicious. I'm hungry" said Adnan.

"Adnan, .." - Rayhan. The youngest was silent.

"It's okay, son. Let's eat."

Nining began to pour rice and vegetables made from young jackfruit into one by one dishes that lined up on the table. 

"Please be led to do'a."

"Who, Ma?"

"Whoever can. Important men."

"Ehm! Just let me. Bismilbornrahmanirrahim's. Bismikallahumma ahya wa bismika waamut."

"Well, the three of you laugh at me. Is something funny, huh?" adnan asked when he found the three women sitting in front of him laughing giggling.

"How can we not laugh? The Do'a you just read is not a do'a when you want to eat, but do'a want to sleep." Nining.

"Oath! The shame reached the crown," murmured Adnan.
