Second Pinang

Mommy's Home

Aji just fell silent unable to answer her umi question. Buk Yah was very angry with the carelessness Aji did. It was only fitting that his former candidate was so anxious to get angry. It was outrageous to make the mistake his son made.

Buk Yah was still insistent in asking, until his voice was a little loud. Abah who had just returned from teaching santri to calm his wife. He told his wife and children to enter the house first.

Abah told the two to sit down so that the anger could subside a little. Pouring water and giving it to his wife. Now, Abah looked at Aji who had looked down earlier.

"What's up, Ji?" ask Abah.

Buk Yah with a still burning anger answered her husband's question directly. Explain the mistake made by Aji to Mak Nur. Abah who heard that immediately beristighfar. It's only right if his wife is angry like that.

"Well ask you, call from whom until you forget to pick up Mak Nur?" furious Abah Shodiqun tried to hold back his anger.

Aji was silent. Not answering a very difficult question for him. He thought about the events that would happen in the back later. He knew what his brother would do when he knew why.

"Well if you don't answer. Abah will find out for himself!" threaten Abah Shodiqun on Aji.

The man immediately rested at his brother's feet. Crying apologizing for being negligent. Promise not to repeat it again. However, the stance of Abah Shodiqun was completely unshakable.

Aji is faced with one choice, which is to be honest. If he did not do that, then surely his brother would still find out. He wiped his tears and revealed why he had not wanted to get married, it had something to do with today's events.

"Well, Mi, Aji loves other women. Not Disa. Aji's heart is already filled by a woman who is able to understand Aji, Mi, Bah."

Like stepping on hot coals, the legs of the two married couples vibrate. Afraid that what they thought was true. Abah Shodiqun asks who is the woman who is able to fill Aji's heart?

"Lina," Aji replied briefly.

Abah Shodiqun's body was suffocated to hear that. His worries all along turned out to be true. Lina is the ex-wife of Aji's sister. After the death of her husband, Lina chose to return home to her parents.

Lina and Aji's sister have no children yet. Actually Aji has liked Lina for a long time. When her parents came to propose, she chose Labib, Aji's sister, to be her husband.

Aji explained that. Can only keep a neat memory in the heart. Abah Shodiqun and his wife once saw the look in Aji's eyes when they saw Lina was very different. Until that time, they had sent their first child to teach in other pesantren.

After Labib's death, Abah Shodiqun thought that Aji was no longer related to Lina. However, the reality revealed this time resuscitated the two. No matter how hard they go against the line of destiny, Allah SWT always wins in determining the end.

"Aji loves Lina, Bah. Not another woman. Aji waited for his heart to be ready to let Labib go. Today, he asked for help because his stomach hurt. He was alone in the hospital, not carrying a wallet. Just hapal Aji's number. That's why Aji hastily left Mak Nur," explained Aji pleading for his brother's understanding.

"Isn't Lina already going to be married by a kyai from East Java?" ask Buk Yah.

Aji shook her head, "He's already rejected the proposal. His heart was still deeply bound by Labib. Mi, Bah, please, don't force Aji to marry Disa. And also, Lina's camouflage for me. If this time I am rejected by her, then I will obey your wish to mate with another woman."

He was crying in his room. He expressed his annoyance in such a way. Wanting to scream out in fear of disturbing the neighbors, so the only way is to cry.

Waiting for news of Dani being with her mother. His heart was not calm, feeling very upset towards his mother. Why not ask him to take her to Semarang? Why ask Aji for help?

"Kowe kenopo, Nduk? He's? Is the knob crying?" tanya Mas Wakhid panicked to see Disa crying like that. (Why are you, Nduk? He's? Why are you crying?)

Could have shaken his brother's hand, shaking his head sign that he was fine. Mas Wakhid did not believe.

"What about Dani?" guess Mas Wakhid.

"Huh? Hiks ..., no! He's not wrong. Disa crying because upset with mom. He asked Aji to take him to Semarang, uh he was left there." Disa told a half-and-a-half story to make Mas Wakhid confused.

When it started to calm down, Disa told the full version. Makes Mas Wakhid rise in blood. It's really like beating that ustaz. It was as if playing left the old man in the big city alone.

A car stopped in front of Mak Nur's house. Mas Wakhid saw who came, it turned out his mother. He immediately approached them. A little surprised because it turns out that Dani and Mamah Yuli are taking her mother home.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mas Dani ..., Ms. Yuli ..., how are you?" asked Mas Wakhid with a smile.

"Wa'alaikum salam warahmatullah ..., barakallah, just returned to sea, Mas?" ask Dani.

Mas Wakhid nodded. Let them enter the house. Dani saw Disa's motorbike parked there. His heart began to be filled again.

Mamah Yuli and Dani stopped by for a while there. Mas Wakhid told Disa to prepare some fish to take Dani home. Make him have to go out of the room with a puffy face. His heart beat became faster, a soft sigh struck his heart again.

After a week of not seeing each other, they finally passed when Dani hitchhiked to the toilet. Disa who was about to wash her face became clumsy herself. The man smiled faintly and passed through the woman's body just like that.

He was surprised by Dani's attitude. Is he angry? I don't know, the woman immediately cleaned her face. Then separate the fish for the Dani family. Make a drink and immediately serve it at the table.

"Lhoh, Ust Can be at home?" ask Mamah Yuli.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mom. Yes, that was a permit for a moment. Salwa no one picked up so I immediately drove home," said Disa.

"Wa'alaikum salam. Thanks, it's a hassle." Mamah Yuli pinched Dani's hand to say thank you.

"Thank you" said Dani Kaku.

Mas Wakhid glanced at the two men. Like someone who is fighting, cold. Disa gives fish to Mamah Yuli. Dani immediately drank the tea served and hurriedly pamit.

"Well, Dani has to get back to the office." Dani reminded his mom.

"Bu Yuli, Nak Dani thank you for driving me home. I don't know how it would have been if I hadn't met you guys." My mother said it with shame. Wanted to run immediately after that sentence came out of his mouth.

"Together, Mother." Dani immediately greeted Mak Nur and Mas Wakhid. Mamah Yuli immediately said goodbye and thanked to get souvenirs from the sea.

While outside the house, Dani meets the man again. Makes his heart sting again. He recalled again that the woman he loved was in the sermon of someone else.
