You see this scar?!"
said Mr. Danu while pointing the scar on his calf to Mariam
"Until now my legs can't walk normally, my left leg is broken and there are more scars on my waist and arms.
When you were 4 years old, you almost got hit by a truck and I tried to take you from the middle of the road and finally, broke! the truck hit my body.
I don't mean to show off or ask you to return the favor, not like that, I just want you to know, I just want you to know,that Anwar and I have promised to take care of each other and look after you and we also agreed to marry you both when you grow up!"
"What?!betrothed?!"
Mariam and Bima together.
"Bah! Why could Papah and Anwar make such a deal?!"The word Bima .
"Lho don't you want to?! isn't that what you love Mariam so much?!"Mr. Danu asked back.
"Yes, you want Pah, but Mariam, you know,,"
"I don't want to,,!"Answer Mariam firmly.
"Mar, you,,!"
Bima looks disappointed.
"I don't hate you, Bim, and I don't blame you for my father's passing,but when I saw you and was near you always ringing in my father's face when he took his life before me at that time.
Give me time to forget everything.
May you heal soon and forgive me!"
Mariam said as she moved to get out of Bima's outpatient room.
"Mar,,! I won't force you to marry me from now on!But please remain my secretary, I really need you in the company, please!"Bima pleaded very, she held the end of Mariam's veil.
Although the real reason is that he can't be far from Mariam.
"Get well soon, I'll consider that later!excuse me, sir!"Mariam said as she bowed her body towards Mr. Danu.
"One more Mar, I hope you and your Mother do not reject any form of gift from me, because it is purely your right, I started a business from scratch with your Father, he said,so he owns shares in the company too!"Said Mr. Danu again.
Mariam just nodded then passed towards the door, she intended to get out of the room, but the door opened by itself from the outside and Arjuna appeared.
"Hey, Angel!where you going?I just came, you're leaving!"Sapa Arjuna's.
Mariam just glanced at her a little, nodding her head then went to see her mother who was chatting with Bu Liana and took her away.
"He is very similar to his Father, firm and has principles, as well as stubborn!"Mumbled mr. Danu.
**
"Why is Tea so stubborn!? I'm not a believer!"Fatimah said while snacking, Mariam was busy in front of her laptop, she was working on a new project with Bima.
"What do you mean?!"Mariam asked back while removing her reading glasses.
"Why Teteh continues to blame Kak Bima for Dad's departure! Whereas in Religion we are taught to always believe in the Qodo and Qodar from God, is it not?!"
Fatimah counsels her sister.
"Steh knows, kok!"
"Certainly?!why did Teteh torture Brother Bima with such a constant attitude, if not blame him for saving Brother Bima, Dad died!"
"You do not understand what you feel, if only you were there at that time and saw your father die before your own eyes, you will even kill Bima once you remember she was the cause of Dad's death!"Shouted Mariam annoyed to her sister.
"Sir Danu will do the same if something happens to you!When you were 4 you almost got hit by a truck, and he was willing to risk his life to save you, only he was lucky,he still survived despite a broken left leg and his path was not normal until now!"
Said Umi who had heard the conversation between her two Daughters, and she had to remind Mariam because she had the wrong thoughts.
"Mariam also knows, Pak Danu told him all!"Answer Mariam.
"Then why do you still think that Bima is the cause of your father's death!?"Umi Salamah tries to make Mariam accept the fate that has happened.
"Mariam has promised himself since then, Mariam swore she would make a reckoning with the man who caused Dad to die!"
Mariam said, her thoughts back to the past, she remembered very well that time she was very angry with the kidnappers also to Bima.
"But the one who shot Dad was the kidnappers Teh, not brother Bima! it would be unfair if Teteh even blamed brother Bima!"Fatimah tried to clear her brother's mind.
"If Bima had not made a noise and shouted, the kidnappers would not have shot and hit Dad in the head!he took his life in front of me Umi!"
Mariam cried while crying considering the events in the past that made her so traumatized.
Umi Salamah hugged her eldest daughter, she understood why Mariam was so angry, she was not angry with Bima, but to the circumstances that had taken his father before his own eyes.
just Umi, Mariam will accept Mang Imran's offer to ta'aruf with Ustadz Khalid, Mariam really can't see Bima continue, Umi, he keeps reminding Mariam to Dad!"Mariam's cry broke out in her Umin embrace.
"What?!Is Teh iyam not sane!"As Fatimah exclaimed, she really did not believe what her brother said.
Fatimah did not understand what was in Mariam's mind after knowing who Bima really was, she thought Big Brother was excessive and had shaken faith, he was always her role model, she was always so, his figure is now gone and he always looks sad.
Umi Salamah signaled that Fatimah should be quiet and let Mariam spill her feelings.
"Well, my son! you better eat now, yeah! after that we think about your next plan!"
Umi Salamah tried to distract Mariam.
Mariam finally nodded and wanted to eat her favorite meatballs.
"Umi, don't follow the words Iyam Tea, he's just emotional! when he wanted to marry Ustad Khalid who was old, Fatimah knew in the heart of Teh iyam the deepest, he loved brother Bima very much!"
"Umi is also confused by your Teteh!"
Answer Umi Salamah
***
The next day Umi and Fatimah were surprised by the arrival of Imran who came with Ustadz Khalid to their rented house.
"Sorry Tea, Imran was forced to come here because there was a clarity about Ustadz Khalid's offer at that time, Teteh did not go back to the village and Imran had already had a chat with Ustad Khalid about Mariam.
Did Teteh tell Mariam?!"Imran said, he always pretends to be good in the presence of others.
"Well, um!
I'm sorry Mr. Ustadz, My son Mariam has just recovered from his illness in plus he is now working in a company, Fatimah is also busy studying here, she said,so I decided to stay here first yesterday."Umi Salamah.
"It's okay Umi, I'm also here not to force to remain berta'aruf with Neng Mariam, but just want to make sure whether Neng Mariam is willing or not to try berta'aruf with me!"
Ustadz Khalid said politely, although he was not young anymore, but he still looked handsome and dashing at his age of about 45.
"Well, how is Mariam?!Guess how you answered!?"Imran said straight to the point.
"Good! I'm ready, but on one condition!"
Mariam's reply left everyone there shocked.
Including someone who had just come and she was in the doorway, came to witness what was happening inside Mariam's house.
That is Bima,
She just got out of the hospital and went straight to Mariam's house to talk about work, she hoped Mariam could enter the office tomorrow with her.
Deghs
Bima's heart feels stopped beating, she really does not believe Mariam will accept to berta'aruf with others.
While he who from the beginning had invited marriage with her was rejected outright.
"What conditions are they?!"Answer Ustadz Khalid Curious.
"During the Ta'aruf process I still want to work and I hope you don't ban my activities, and I will stay here!"Mariam answered while glancing towards Bima who deliberately looked like herself, wanting to be seen by Mariam.
"Of course, you are free to do whatever you want, I will continue to support you as long as it does not violate the rules of Religion, please! after all, I will come to this city often because I have a lot of work here!"
Answer ustadz Khalid make Bima more gamang.
"What the hell is this?!Tea, Teteh sure of what Teteh said?!"Fatimah spoke up representing Bima's feeling of being smashed to pieces at the moment.
"Fat, this is Teteh's decision, live Teteh! everyone has no right to rule a life, including you!"Mariam replied so firmly, leaving everyone speechless with Mariam's sudden decision.
Imran smiled triumphantly, finally what he dreamed of all this time will soon be realized, he will become the owner of the tea plantation in his village,that's what Ustadz Khalid promised if Mariam was willing to marry her, she would entrust the acres of tea plantation to Imran.
"Alright, it means everything is clear, one more week I will come with my family, to validate this ta'aruf process, Umi! what about Umi?!"Ustadz Khalid asked Mariam's parents for permission.
"Umi's up to Mariam, she'll run her life!"Umi Salamah replied with complete doubt, she was still confused by her daughter's strange decision.
'What does all this mean Mariam?!Are you really angry with me!? all righty! as long as the yellow janur has not curved, I will continue to try to get your heart again, I am still grateful to be able to see you up close!'Inner Milky.
After everything dissolved from Mariam House, Bima still survives there, there are many questions that he wants to say to Mariam.
"You sure of your decision?!or do you just want to get back at me?!"
The question was thrown from the mouth of Bima, when they were sitting on the terrace, Mariam deliberately gave time to Bima to be more clear all her.
