Goods have been packed, souvenirs and clothes were neat in a suitcase that will be brought Noah to his grave, Indonesia. He was waiting for Abdul Rouf to take him to the agency, where he first set foot on Arab soil.
The door is knocked from the outside. Before Noah gave anyone permission to open it first. Patima, Jamal's nanny was standing haughtily at the door, with no happy look on her face.
"Mba, Patima, what's wrong?" ask Noorah.
"I just want to see you, Nur, for the last time" Patima replied.
"What do you mean?" tanya Nur did not understand. Patima, the woman in front of Nur, although a nation of water demons but since the first time he met her never once was kind to her let alone smiling. Highly anti. It was as if it was written in his mind that Nur did not deserve to be given good.
"Yes, you should know, your departure back to Indonesia has all been arranged, so you can no longer come back here. You must be aware of your position, Nur. You and I are both slaves, not worthy to be the daughter-in-law of the Babah family" Patima's grin shook Nur's heart. He did not believe Patima's statement, but he could not blame her either. All that is true, he who is just a slave not equal to the Babah family whose wealth alone, can not be counted with the fingers.
"I can't believe what you're saying, so please go, leave me!" snapped Nur who was arranging his heart so that he did not get angry with Patima.
"OK, think carefully, Nur" Patima left, bringing satisfaction within her. He smiled cunningly when he turned to Nur who was sitting on the edge of the bed while cupping his face"
The movement of his steps came to a halt, as ummi and Adeeba walked towards him and stared in surprise.
"What are you doing in Noah's room"? tanya ummi sharp. He's been ripping off Patima's foul wits. Who always hates and hates others.
"Nothing" Patima replied briefly. With arrogance he stepped away leaving the two mothers and children. It's like the carlotta in the telenovela series.
Ummi opened the door to Noah's room. The lowered Noah immediately raised his face towards the door. The two women entered without any invitation.
The two then sat to the left and right, Norah.
"What did Patima tell you, Noah?" ummi's question gets straight to the point.
"Nothing, ummi. He just said hello before I left".
"Why can't I believe it, seeing your suddenly grim face, it seems like he said something hurtful to you, say it?" ummi clasped Noorah's cold hand. He patted her slowly
"No, really ummi" said Noorah, although he was heartbroken by the words Patima said earlier, but he did not want to reciprocate the treatment of his water brother.
"Alright, if you don't want to talk" smile ummi.
"Noorah, all your pay over the last few months I've sent to your family's account and this keeps you on the road, I hope you're not disappointed in us, and forgive us for all our mistakes with you, Noorah"
Adeeba's words further convinced Noah that he was deliberately returned to his country, but in a subtle way.
"Thank you madam." both hugged and ummi embraced both.
"The day you come back here, is the day you will be our family's daughter-in-law, Noah" ummi cupped the cheeks of the person she loved so much. His eyes reddened, as if he could not believe the choice put down by Abdul Rouf would now become a reality even though he had once forced Noah for his son.
"Insha Allah, ummi" replied Noorah quietly. A moment of discovery that had been stopped by the incitement of Patima, a little shifted in the heart of Noah. However, he did not want to be happy and felt he could be with Abdul Rouf.
****
"Ah no sir. I was just thinking" replied Noah who felt noticed.
"You don't have to worry, Noorah. We'll meet again later. I promise" Abdul Rouf's hand held the hand of Noah who was squeezing his left hand.
Out of nowhere, finally without saying he put his head right on the shoulder of Abdul Rouf who was holding the wheel.
"We shouldn't be both, sir" murmured Noorah. I don't know why he felt bad since he heard the words from Patima earlier. As if confirming that his departure is forever.
"The new driver hasn't arrived yet, Noorah. I had to hold the wheel myself. But if you feel disappointed, we can stop by the hotel for a while" he whispered. Noorah who was feeling the fragrance of perfume that came out of Abdul Rouf's body immediately rounded his name. However, he did not react again, this time he understood that the man was teasing him once. He chose to close his eyes.
"You're not what you used to be, Noorah" Abdul Rouf stroked her lover's head lovingly.
Actually he was troubled because he was going to separate, but his little heart was sure that Noah would return to him one day that was not too long.
"let me be like this, sir. Don't mind" he muttered, who was replied with a smile.
"Sleep until I wake up"

The nine-hour journey finally arrived at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. He immediately went to the pick up section. Two large suitcases filled with clothes and souvenirs for families in the village.
No one picked up because Noah wanted to surprise them all, especially to his parents, plus his husband Asep who reportedly is now happy with his new wife.
A travel car approached just as Noorah was pushing the trolley.
"Please, madam"
"No thank you, sir" hesitated for Nur to come along with someone she didn't know at all.
"You're TKW, aren't you?" ask the driver kindly.
"L-yes." The two shook hands.
"I used to drive TKWs back to their villages. If you don't mind, let me take you. It's my identification." the driver that Noah saw on the identification card named Ardi was convincing. Unsuspecting at all he entered the white car that was around him thick dark with window film. Inside, a woman was asleep, visible from her tightly closed eyes. Didn't even care about the presence of Noah next to him. It seemed like he was also a TKW, according to the appearance that Noah saw.
"Where, go home" asked Ardi from the front. His hands and eyes were focused on the street.
"To Bandung" replied Noorah.
"Alright", Ardi's smile from the front. "Oh, yeah. If thirsty to drink only, I specifically provide for passengers in my car" he said later. Noorah nodded there was not the slightest bit of suspicion in her heart. The long journey made him thirsty. Although on the plane he provided various drinks, but still he felt thirsty again. .Previously Noorah to ensure that the drink he consumed is still sealed. And it's true. Unsuspecting she drank it until she finally felt a great dizziness and suddenly everything was dark.
