Second Pinang

Revenge

The month of the wedding has been decided. That's about two months away. Sita must finish her studies first. Just a graduation stay, and focus on his business later.

It has been decided they will conduct the meeting and reception on the same day. Located in the house of Mamah Yuli. Download the ghost will be done a week after the ijab occurs. The time is very dense that they should use as best as possible.

Reza contacted one of his acquaintances to find WO. Sita contacted her friend who works as MUA. Mami Farah and Papi Kusno are very familiar with Mamah Yuli.

"I'm sorry about what happened to Salwa, ma'am." Mami Farah looked softly at Salwa who was engrossed in playing with Andra.

Rida and Arsya don't ask, they've escaped. The promise is only a promise, he said to put Andra to bed first, in fact Andra did not sleep.

"Thank you, Mom." Mamah Yuli smiled warmly at her iron candidate.

The night was getting late, making the group from Kudus have to resign. The house is back. Andra was put to sleep by Mamah Yuli. Dani sat staring at herself on the porch. His head was filled with problems that befell Salwa and also the shock of Mak Nur.

He closed his eyes for a moment. The shadow of Disa again flashed through his mind. He opened his eyes again and stood up. Not thinking about the woman, but just playing through the mind.

He was reminded of the word Mak Nur, who said that Dani should not disturb Disa for a while. He sent a message to the woman.

Me : Assalamu'alaikum, West. I'm not asking you to accompany Salwa to the psychiatrist. Let me and Aidha do it. While the rest first, until the state of my son recovered. Please do not contact Aidha for a while. Thank ye.

Dani finished sending the message. Directly back up his phone. There was a reply, he did not answer. He chose to enter the house, perform the prayers of Isha', then sleep.

Disa felt something strange from Dani's message. Like keeping your distance and limiting your interactions, that's what's captured from whatsapp. There was no reply from the man. He made his heart disappointed.

Me : Wa'alaikum greetings. Why is this, sir? What was?

Me: Please provide confirmation of your message.

The two messages had been sent three minutes ago, but there was no reply. Makes the heart of Disa sad. He took ablution and recited to be calmer. However, curiosity so disturbed his heart.

He wanted to send a message to Sita, but it was preceded by his best friend. Dani's sister told me about the impromptu proposal she received. Making Disa undo the intention to ask about the widower.

Disa was very happy with Sita and Reza's proposal. He promised to help them prepare for the wedding. Sita offers Disa to become a bridesmaid, but the woman refuses. He is more comfortable being an invited guest, he said.

***

The day just passed. The absence of Desa made something disappear. Salwa missed her so much because she had not been in school for almost a week. He had no fever, but was now delirious.

Dinta helped Salwa very hard to get out of the trauma. Slowly but surely, there is change. Salwa slept quietly, occasionally delirious but only sweet memories with Disa always came out of her mouth.

Dani knew it because every night, he and Aidha prayed at night in Salwa's room. His son missed the woman.

"Excuse me Papah who still forbids you to meet with ust Disa" Dani told Aidha one night.

"Why did Papah do that? Poor Salwa, Pah." Aidha slightly emphasized his sentence.

"Ust Disa is waiting for the time to answer a proposal, Ma'am. Papah does not want to bother him, does not want to be considered a usurper," said Dani honestly.

"Until when?" ask Aidha.

"Do you need to meet someone who proposes to ust Disa? So he'll let her go for our family, Pah?"

Dani smiled and shook her head. His hand caressed the head of his eldest son. So great was the love of his children towards a woman named Disa.

"Make what? Don't push anything too hard, ma'am. Let it flow on its own as it is. Let's doo'a. Don't forget to pray for me." Dani ended the conversation that night.

In the morning, Mamah Yuli was happy not to play. He just got word from the cooperative where he was saving, that he won a free Umrah ticket. Departure will be held in one week. Make it should quickly get meningococcal meningitis vaccine.

Dani promised to ask permission to deliver his mama, because Sita was in Bandung to complete the administration and retrieval of toga. While Rida can not deliver because there is an appointment to meet the client.

"Let's leave at ten, Mah. The children let in the same house Mbok Yem. Later Mamah asked for a healthy certificate first from Puskesmas, huh?" bright Dani.

"Yes, or if you're busy, Mom's taking the bus, don't you, Dan." Mamah Yuli was not feeling good if she had to trouble her son.

"Don't! Let Dani take you, I'm leaving, Mah. Assalamu'alaikum" Dani said goodbye.

"Wa'alaikum hail, be careful." Mamah Yuli kissed Dani and Salwa. Aidha left on his own bike.

At ten as Dani promised, she delivered her mama for the meningitis vaccine. The trip is a bit stuck. Making Mamah Yuli talk to her son.

"What's the news, Dan?" ask Mamah Yuli.

"Huh? Where does Dani know, Mah," he replied lightly.

"You forbid him from coming home?" ask Mamah Yuli again. Dani cannot answer that. Not struggling when his mother has become an investigator.

"He is in time to answer someone's sermon, Mah. I don't want to disturb, afraid of being mistaken for a snatch," said Dani.

Mamah Yuli laughed, "Who would have thought that? Mak Nur's? You are forbidden to communicate and meet with Disa?"

Dani was only able to nod. I remember the old man's words.

"So you're getting revenge?"

"Revenge? Meaning, Mah?" danny asked confused.

"Yes, what's his name if it's not revenge? You also forbid Disa to meet your children" said Mamah Yuli straightforwardly.

"And do not repay bad deeds for the same. Leave it alone if you cannot repay it with good deeds. Understood?" ask Mamah Yuli. Dani just nodded.

That is true what his mother said. How is he different from Mak Nur? Hadeh ..., Dani just realized that stupid thing.

They arrived at the vaccination site. Hurry down to enter lunch hour. Dani registered his mother. Not long after, Mamah Yuli was called to the vaccination room.

Dani's waiting in the waiting room. His eyes looked around and caught a familiar figure. The man who was barely a week over this did not greet him. He approached and greeted her. Want to know what to do at the vaccination site alone.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Dani sincerely.
