Second Pinang

Reject each other

Dani just threw a smile at Aji. Then rush into the car. Hot air surrounded the man's heart and body. There was a sense of unrequited when his rival visited the house of Disa. The widower was burning with jealous flames.

Dani immediately gasp after his mother wears a seatbelt. Mamah Yuli laughed at a glance at her son's behavior. It seems Dani is jealous.

"Why laugh, Mah?" ask Dani.

"Funny look at you, it can still be jealous as well." Mamah Yuli laughed again when she saw the face of Dani who did not accept being said to be jealous.

"Who is jealous?"

"You, Dan. Mamah knows that, patience .., hopefully the heart of Disa is already linked to you," said Mamah Yuli who was adopted by Dani.

After delivering his mother home, Dani immediately returned to the office. He finished the work that awaited him. A message came into his phone.

Clunting!

Dani pulled the phone out of his pants pocket. Open and read the message. From the woman he had admired. Yes, Disa sent a message to the widower.

Disa : Assalamu'alaikum, sir. Thank you for the help. I'm sorry if there is an attitude of my mother and I who offend, Father. Thanks again.

Dani didn't reply to the message. Leave it and continue his work.

"Patience .., let him finish his business first. If the time has come, just look at the results. If he accepts Aji, yes, back off. What matters is effort." Dani talked to herself.

Reza who heard it came straight to him.

"Ngopo anyway, Mas? By dewe marai miris, kene you know cerito karo me." Reza sat down at Dani's table. (Why the hell, Mas? Talking alone makes a lyrical, here's the same story I am)

"From ngajak ghibah, mending help me file this. Hurry up!" Dani gives Reza a stack of her work.

"Yes Allah .., your own fault, Za. Crocodile is desperate to be de-retinned!" said Reza. Dani glared at hearing that.

"Savage ...." Reza went straight back to his desk with that stack of files.

Aji felt bad for Mak Nur. He did not intend to leave his mother alone in Semarang. He panicked too much and couldn't think clearly. Leaving the parents of Disa without any message.

He apologized to Mak Nur. Disa chose not to see him. Still feel unable to forget his frustration at Aji. Mas Wakhid immediately accepted the man's apology, but the reply contained emotions.

"We're sorry, I know how Mas, this family is not a person to be. So you can just as casually leave the old man in town alone. As sweet as anyone, will remember the most important person. And from this incident I can conclude, my mother is not an important person for you, right?" Mas Wakhid released the emotions that had been held back since.

According to him, Aji's mistake is not trivial. If the left can go home alone will not be a problem, well this? His parents were not experienced people. Mother was just a country person who never went far from her home.

Mak Nur warns Mas Wakhid not to get too angry at Aji.

"No need to defend, Mom. Want him son kyai or the other, wrong ya must be told! I'm a man too, Mom. I have the same responsibility as you. If you've accepted my parents' request, you should also take responsibility for your mother." Mas Wakhid sighed to dampen his emotions.

Aji could only shut up and surrender. He no longer knew what to apologize for. Mas Wakhid was right, he indeed deserved the anger of sister Disa. Mother asked Mas Wakhid to give her fish to the man.

Aji's heart really hurt hearing Mas Wakhid's words. Should it get like that? Aji asked Mak Nur for permission, spoke to Disa briefly. There was something he wanted to tell the woman.

Disa wears her hijab and goes out to meet Aji. However, the man took her out driving the car. He wanted to take the woman to eat meatballs. As his apology for making angry.

Mak Nur allowed them. I hope there is closeness between the two. He just stayed in the car. Same with Aji. There is no conversation between the two.

They've arrived at the meatball stall. Can only order iced tea. Aji offers her a meal, but the woman still doesn't want to. Finally the man just ordered a drink too.

"I'm sorry if I made you angry, brother. Not that I meant leaving mom alone." Aji was still trying to explain his sitting.

"I'm not angry, Mom. Never mind, no need to talk about it anymore. What's the important thing you want to say to me?" asked Disa with a lazy face.

"The time to answer my proposal is only to count the days, have you got an answer to your Istikharoh, Dik?" ask Aji.

Disa scrunched her forehead. Why did the man suddenly discuss the subject? Didn't they never communicate for nearly two weeks? It's strange!

"If so, what's your answer? Please tell me first. Because honestly, I don't love you, brother. I ..., love another girl." Aji said her heart before Disa.

The woman was not surprised to hear that. From the beginning they exchanged mobile numbers, Aji had already not told her. Isn't that a subtle rejection? The second was the incident today, the man really showed who was important to him, and that was not his family.

"What do you do, brother?" ask Aji again.

"I don't love you either. There's no sense of calm when I'm with you, Mas." Disa reveals her answer.

"What ..., that guy who was able to calm you down?" ask Aji again.

Disa is uncomfortable with the question asked by Aji. He would rather be quiet and not answer. Although his heart could not deny, he would feel calm when he was among Dani's family.

"From the beginning you should have rejected me, brother. Poor guy earlier, holding back the feeling just in my honor. I was once in his position, only to be able to wait for the person I love to be with someone else."

"Not to be pretentious, Mom. Don't talk about Mr. Dani between us." Disa warns Aji not to talk about others.

"So his name is Mr Dani, Dik?"

"Ck!"

"All right, I'm sorry. Do I have to tell you and Umi to hear your answer immediately? Or are we postponing as agreed?" ask Aji again.

"Whatever, already? When you're done, please take me home." Disa drank her iced tea and immediately came out of the meatball stall.

Aji paid for the drink and rushed to the car. In the car there was silence. No one wants to start any conversation. When it was close to the house alley, Disa asked to be lowered to the front of the alley only.

"Thank you for your understanding, brother. I'm sorry for everything. Maybe tomorrow I'll bring you and Umi to meet you."

Disa just nodded, said goodbye and said hello. Get out of the car and walk home. A feeling of relief perched in the hearts of the two. Both smile and make peace with the situation.

We may be able to choose the best for ourselves, but not necessarily God approves of it. Believe me, God's destiny will always be the best point for us.
