Second Pinang

Sickness Longs

He said hello and went into the house. His heart was happy. The burden in the mind just comes off. He repeated himself as his outburst of gratitude.

Mak Nur was astonished by Disa. When he came out of the house his face was gloomy, but now he was cheerful as usual. Is it because of Aji? Did the man express his feelings to Disa?

If so, Mak Nur is very grateful. Disa helps the mother who is enjoying vegetables.

"What's wrong with you, Sa? It was so nice to look like," asked Mak Nur.

"Huh? It's normal, Mom. Oh yes, tomorrow Aji and his family will come here, Mak." Disa explained to Mak Nur her deal with Aji.

"Tomorrow? Isn't it still about five days away from Aji's application? Why the sudden, Sa?" tanya Mak Nur was suspicious.

Now the old woman's heart became alarmed. It's not as calm as it was. What were Aji and Disa talking about while outside? Has Disa received Aji yet? Or vice-versa?

"Tomorrow, Mother. We already have an answer to that istikharoh. Disa told Wakhid first," said Disa immediately rushed to her brother's house.

Isha' approaching, Aidha also Salwa can no longer stem his longing on Disa. Eventually they contacted the woman without her papa's knowledge. Hiding in Dani's workspace to be free for video calls.

Disa was happy not to play to find the two children gave their news. Until happy tears rolled down her cheeks. Haru for finally being able to meet again, although still secretly.

"Aren't you scolded by papah?" ask Disa.

"No, we're hiding, ma'am?" salwa.

"Yes, that's why we talk slowly. Ust, when is njai again? Can remove all of our shipments," protested Aidha because long time did not teach with Disa.

Laughing across there. Not only those who miss muroja'ah, he is also very tortured to miss it. He promised immediately.

Chequek!

The door of the room suddenly opened. Aidha and Salwa jump to the back of the sofa. They were surprised not to play. Aidha had made sure himself that his papa was asleep. Why did you enter the work space?

Dani sat on the sofa and put her head on the back of the chair.

"Pump, but not a shoulder. Broad, still I feel empty," said Dani ngalor ngidul unclear direction.

"Malaria opo mala longing, sedino koyo sewindu, ning kuru marake ..., numpak dokar mlakune ngulon, wong patience must be someday, wong patience must be someday ...." Dani sings a piece of the song that belongs to Manthos entitled sick miss.

He could clearly hear that melodious voice. It has a very deep meaning. Like holding back the heart because it is slashed by a sense of longing for someone.

Salwa giggles to make Dani look for the source of the sound. Surprised not to play because his two daughters were hiding behind the sofa.

"Astaghfirullah ..., what are you doing there?" ask Dani astonishment.

"He-he-he. Papah, again upset? Why, Pah? Think about ust Disa?" Aidha immediately said it.

"Sok knows you, Ma'am. Not just studying here. What else?" ask Dani again.

"Not anymore. He-he-he ..," answered Salwa still trying to hide the facts.

Dani looks at the phone Aidha is holding. Seizing her forcibly and seeing the face of Disa who was still wearing a mukena. The father of two children immediately disconnected the video call without saying hello.

"Who's the phone ust Disa? You guys or just Disa first?" ask Dani firmly.

"Aidha who calls us first, Pah. Sorry," said Aidha regretfully.

"Mbak .., Papah said, wait another five days. Let ust Disa answer first the proposal of others. Understand, right?" ask Dani.

Aidha nodded, he apologized again to his papa. Get out of that workspace and find Salwa. Her sister had not recovered properly from the trauma, and just now her father had given another wound to the little girl's heart.

Dani's phone rang, she answered immediately. Who's calling from tonight?

"Hello, assalamu'alaikum," replied Dani.

"Wa'alaikum greetings, please do not be angry with the children. They are innocent. That's all I want to say, thank you. Wassalamu'alaikum." Can talk as fast as lightning.

"Wa'alaikum salutations." Dani cut off that phone line.

There's a phone coming back to that smart device. Make Dani lift it up immediately. It was from the police station. There is news about Ateng Subadi.

The young man did not leave Demak city. He's still in the area. Warn Dani to keep a better eye on her son so as not to become a victim. Photos of Ateng have been posted all over the place.

All intel members have been deployed. Just waiting for their results. Dani hopes that the police will find Ateng soon. Not want to quickly give the reward that is worth the young man, but more afraid there are other Salwa who became his victim.

Dani thanked me for the information provided. Now, he must arrange a step so as not to be cheated with Ateng again. There is only one way, which is to bring his own son.

Dani can't depend on her sisters, as they have their own busy lives. No longer have a driver, so inevitably have to jump alone. Taking time for the safety of children.

It cannot be denied, the incident that befell Salwa was also due to his mistake. Too busy with work and assign responsibility to others. Dani sighed, giving thanks for having a bright spot on her son's case.

Dani searches for the whereabouts of Aidha who turns out to be sleeping with Salwa. Mamah Yuli invited him to talk casually.

"What the hell are you, Dan? Why did they stop communicating with Disa? What is prohibited from communicating with him is you, not your children," said Mamah Yuli confirmed Dani's wrong attitude.

The widower was only able to be silent, right also what his mother said. Why is he being so stupid now? Is it because her love signal sinks? Or because of a longing pain?

"Tomorrow to apologize to them, later on the weekend take a trip to Semarang, all of you visit your in-laws' house. Haven't you been there long?"

Dani nodded. Agree with his advice. His head suddenly dizzy, he paid his mother to rest. He immediately threw himself in bed. Close your eyes and enter the dream.

The night air whispered woke Dani. In the other room there were also two girls who were ready with their faces and letters. They came out of the room and knocked on his papa cubicle.

Dani opened the door and smiled at the two. Aidha and Salwa apologized for breaking the promise. It's natural that his face is angry.

Dani hugs the two, she also apologizes for being hard-hearted towards them.

"Salat yuk, Pah," asked Aidha.

The three held a prayer rug. Aidha taught Salwa the intention of night prayers. Following Dani's movement to salam and establishing the next raka'at. Mudajat.

"Oh Allah, please take it away from me, Salwa is strong! Salwa is no longer a crybaby. Give heaven to mother. Protect your children from the wicked, O Allah. Give papah, ust Disa, mbah Nur, mas kiki, mbah, uti, akung, aunt Rida, aunt Sita, om Arsya, om Reza, and dik Andra health and longevity. Tomorrow Salwa repeat, help Salwa to remember the multiplication O Allah. And finally, please help papah match u-ust, because Salwa wants to have a real mother. Aamiin's." Salwa rubbed her palms against her face.
