Second Pinang

Discovered Again

He finished teaching. Now he is rushing to the market. Looking for a gift for his cousin's wedding. He walked alone with his eyes looking left and right. The line of shops that sell clothing is very sparkling because of the light of the lights.

The line of sellers began to offer the goods that Disa sought. He stopped at a store because he saw there was a game that he thought was beautiful. Unfortunately, there is no right size. He walked again and stopped.

"Mom, take a look at that robe." Can designate the game he wants.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ms. Disa," said a mother.

Can look over, and greet the person while smiling. "Mom Mar? Oh my God ..., how are you?"

"Alhamdulillah well, Ma'am. Nyari what?" ask Ma Mar.

"Look for my cousin's wedding gift, Mom. Own mother?"

"Nyari hijab for my son. This is Dani's mom's shop."

Disa scrunched her forehead. Then ria oh. He remembered about the man who had helped him.

"Mother, the hijab was yesterday thank you? You pick one later let me pay." Disa offered it to Miss Mar.

"Mbak, actually the hijab yesterday was not me who paid. Probably paid for by Dani. Try asking me the same mom."

Could be bad. Suddenly a mother came and entered the store. He just realized that it was Mamah Yuli. Be the three of them reunion there. He only realized that Dani who met him at the office and the photo at the house of mamah Yuli, is the same person. His heart returned to a strange vibration, like an electric shock.

He could catch his breath and return. He chose the game he appointed. Then pay according to the agreed price. She asked about the hijab being sold by Mamah Yuli.

"Yesterday, Dani said someone bought a hijab. The money has been given to me. But I don't know Dani or not who paid. Ah ..., just gini. Ustadzah will go home, I will definitely meet my son. Just ask directly." Mamah Yuli gave advice so that the curiosity of Disa was gone.

"Shame, Mom," said Disa.

Bu Mar and Mamah Yuli laughed at Disa's reply. Why should I be ashamed? Mamah Yuli looked at him as if hoping for something. I don't know what the mother of the four kids wants, which must be very deep.

Can say goodbye first because you still have to choose shoes. They told him to be careful.

"If my son is like him" said Mar.

"Patience, tell me about Dani and Disa's meeting." Mamah Yuli asked Bu Mar to tell her a story.

Dani always fails to meet with Disa. There's just a reason. Sudden meetings, guests who come suddenly, get additional duties from the leader, and others. Makes her always miss the chance to meet a woman who is able to touch her daughter's heart. Sure it's just his son's heart? His heart?

Saturday is a relaxing day for Dani. The working hours are only up to lunch. There are no meetings or school visits. Makes him hope to be reunited with Disa.

Dani felt something had changed on her. In the past he would not glance at any woman who tried to get close to him. But it's different with Disa. He felt that the woman had her own magnet to attract him. Want to know more about her.

Especially after hearing her story. The curiosity is getting bigger. Dani is busy in her study. He cleaned up some documents and rearranged the room to make it look fresher. He was tired of that atmosphere.

The house looks beautiful. There was only him, his two children who had just returned home from school, and ART. Her mother went to the market from the morning to check the stock of hijab in the store. After two hours, he finished cleaning the room.

"Assalamu'alaikum .., can ..," Disa's speech was cut when he learned that opening the door was neither Aidha nor Salwa.

Their net was met again in an accidental state. They immediately turned their faces to each other. Dani felt something explode inside her chest. Like someone lit a firework.

"Wa'alaikum salam warahmatullah ..., Ustadzah Disa?" ask Dani to make sure.

"Excite, sir." Disable nodded her head. (Yes, Sir.)

"Please come in, Ust. I'll call the kids first." Dani gave way for Disa to enter the house.

Disa walks towards Dani's workspace. The owner followed him from behind. As he already knew all sides of the house, Disa went straight to the room. Dani opened the door for him.

"Please wait a minute. Maybe they're preparing. I call you." Dani was about to leave but Disa's call prevented her move.

"Yes?" ask Dani.

"Why did yesterday lie about the hijab I was wearing, sir? Ma'am Mar told me it wasn't him who paid it."

Dani was surprised to hear Disa's question. Why did the woman find out? Is he going to be angry? Or even thanking? Dani took a breath and prepared to answer.

"Because you're in trouble. So I bought it for you. It wasn't Ma Mar, but I. Sorry if it makes you uncomfortable."

Dani chose the answer to be honest. Silence to hear that statement. He thought it was too much for a person he had just known. It's nothing, because he still holds the money. The hijab is missing, not the wallet. Is this not strange?

"Thank you for your kindness, but honestly you don't have to. I can still afford to pay for that hijab" said Disa.

"Suppose that's the gift God sent through me."

Dani immediately stepped away towards Aidha and Salwa's room. Tell them to prepare because it has been awaited by Disa in the workspace. He also told ART to make drinks. After that he followed the way to teach Disa.

It is true said his mother, Disa taught with a method that is more easily absorbed by children. That's because reading repetition is easier to remember. Today also Aidha and Salwa deposit verse. They were targeted to be able to memorize the ten verses of the letter An-naba.

Dani was very happy to see and hear the reading of Aidha and Salwa. His makhraj was precise, the tajwid clear, and his hand movements were exactly the same that Disa demonstrated. It's almost five in the afternoon. As usual, Disa will pray ashar first and then go home.

"Ust, Salwa's coming to the U-ust house huh? Please," whine Salwa.

"Don't be loved, Ust! He's a hassle!" said Aidha sarcas. Salwa grumbled because of her brother's words.

"Mbak Aidha .., what is it? What is Salwa troublesome?" tanya Disa tidied up her hijab finished praying.

Dani watched the interaction closely. It was like seeing Inaya in Disa. The motherly nature that emerged from him was able to bewitch Dani and fascinate her. His heart suddenly beat erratically.

"I'm why, anyway?" dani asked softly.

"Lha why, sir?" The sound surprised Dani.
