The Ark of Love Nurmala

The Mission of Restu Camer

The car that Rizal drove kept on going. By midday they entered the tea plantation countryside. Rizal's white antelope is strikingly weaved between the green color that is spread. Aldi held his suitcase tightly in his lap. Rudi drooped on the back seat back soundly.

"Still far away Al?" ask Rizal

"About three more kilos, tired of Zal?"

"A little sore, but no problem"

The car continues to drive, now it has passed a fairly large village.

"Rudi, Rudy! it's at your in-laws' house!" yell Aldi woke Rudi.

"Oh, I'm ready!" Rudi rubbed his face, immediately combed his hair and held the bouquet of flowers he had bought for Nihaya. Aldi and Rizal laughed.

"Don't you stop?" Rudi wonder.

"Hahaha, not Rud, we're going to Nurmala's new house to Nihaya's!" said Aldi. Rudi again threw his body in the seat, "Yeah, sleep again ah!"

Not until Rudi fell asleep, Rizal's car has turned and stopped at a house that many cassava plants and fruits, this is Mr. Samsudin's house.

The three of them tidied up, Aldi and Rudi did not forget to take out his sunglasses. They're marching, "Just a minute!" rizal said while taking Aldi's sunglasses.

"You're in front, we're both in the back!" pinta Rizal's. The three of them walked towards the door. Aldi held his suitcase full of confidence.

"Assynnya!" exclaim Aldi. A few moments waiting for no answer, then

Chequek!

"Waalikum hail! Kang Aldi??" Samsudin looks very happy to see the arrival of Aldi which he had been waiting for. "Come, come in!" The three of them sat down, Samira popped into the living room.

"Where's Nurmala?" ask Samira.

"He didn't go to Buk, Nurmala stayed at a friend's house, we came here to deliver the money I asked for!, let me marry Nurmala!" aldi said slowly and calmly.

"Did you really bring the money?" Samira did not believe Aldi's words. With confidence Aldi put the suitcase on the table and opened it.

"Look Buk, here's the money!" Aldi pointed at the suitcase with his ten fingers. Samira's pupils looked widened in disbelief. Samira took a tie and shook the money in front of her face with a smile.

"I didn't believe you could get the money I asked Aldi to, but it turns out that you can fulfill my request!" samira said as she took the suitcase from the table to her lap.

"Aldi has worked hard for the money, sir, Buk, in addition to working in the factory he also ngojek until night, sometimes also join sewing wholesale for the sake of Nurmala, so please do not come back complicated by their marriage!" Rizal added.

"I'm so grateful to you Kang Aldi, I'm sure no man loves Nurmala as much as Kang Aldi!" Samsudin looked teary. Samira was still glued while stroking her money suitcase.

"When are you going to marry Nurmala?" connect Samira.

"At the right time Buk, if it is allowed before the Hajj we are married."

"How Sir?" Samira asked for her husband's approval, Samsudin nodded in agreement. Aldi, Rudi and Rizal smiled in relief, the mission of finding the first stage's parental blessing smoothly without hindrance.

"Oh, where's this drink?" samsudin. Samira stammered, immediately standing towards the back room giving out a snack, and soon followed four cups of coffee. They eat snacks while talking. Rudi whose mission has not been delivered nudged Aldi's arm to say goodbye immediately.

"Sir, Buk would have arrived here this time, for the next time I would have come here to marry Nurmala!" pamit Aldi's. Samsudin and Samira had little to say, other than to say Aldi's words.

Rudi did not come down immediately, he was still busy tidying up his appearance. He took a deep breath and then just came down with his bouquet of flowers.

"Aldi, bring me the presents!" pinta Rudi's. The three of them go hand in hand. Nihaya looks surprised by the presence of Rudi to her house.

"Rudi??" Nihaya immediately wiped her wet hands with a towel. Rudi smiled as Nihaya's eyes seemed to be fixed on her.

"This is for you Niha!" Rudi handed over the flowers and the wrapping. Nihaya's cheeks flushed red, her smile blushed on her lips.

"Who's Niha's guest?" a Nihaya-like middle-aged woman came out from inside the room. " Come on, please come in Kang!" Nihaya's mother let them in.

The three of them sat down.

"Where's Rudi?" ask Nihaya

"From Nurmala's house, keep coming!" Rudi answered her a little nervously

"Give money to Rud, how sweet their love story is, hopefully get married soon!" Nihaya smiled with flushed cheeks.

"We can also be like them!" rudi said blushed.

"Can what?"

"Can marry! I'm here to ask your parents for their blessing, Niha, do you agree?" Rudi looked serious, Nihaya's expression was still full of question marks. During his close relationship with Rudi never talked about serious relationship despite having likes, Rudi's words made Nurmala distrust.

"You're serious Rud?"

"I'm Nihaya's two geniuses, where did your mother Niha come out again?"

"It's busy still preparing drinks" Papar Nihaya, then his mother emerged from the back room with four cups of tea and one plate of fried cassava. Nihaya helps her mother present in front of guests.

"Where's Dad Buk?" tanya Nihaya, without being called suddenly her father appeared from the back room, shook hands with his guests, then sat down to entertain guests by talking and getting to know each other.

Rudi nudged Aldi's hand to speak their purpose, but Aldi nudged Rizal's arm to become a retainer. They looked at each other giving codes, finally Rizal raised his voice.

"Ehem, look sir, what do we mean by coming here....if allowed, we ask Nihaya for my friend Rudi Pak?!" said Rizal while pointing towards the bowed Rudi waiting for an answer.

"Eee, it turns out your son already wants to sir!" cletuk Nihaya's mother.

"Emmm, let me ask my son for a second! How about Neng, do you want to marry Kang Rudi? Mr. Nihaya asked for approval. Nihaya blushed with her father's question while glancing at Rudi. Everyone is waiting for the answer.

Without a word Nihaya simply smiled and nodded her head in agreement.

"YES!!" coming out of Rudi's mouth with clenched hands, which resulted in a nod from Aldi's elbow, warning that Rudi did not express himself excessively in front of Nihaya's parents.

"Alhamdulillah!" the words Aldi and Rizal followed Rudi. They were greatly relieved that Nihaya's parents were more democratic than Nurmala's mother.

"Come, please fry Kang's cassava!" pinta Nihaya's mother.

Their light conversation continued, then they were asked to go to the dining room with a simple dish of Nihaya's house.
