''Kaang?'' Call Badrun.


Santri Dhalem kyai Jauhari. He used to be the driver of the ndalem family.


''What's up?" ask Surya. He was struggling, he was already carrying an ontel bike to leave.


''It's." Badrun gave Surya the car keys.


''Oh, how does that mean?" surya was confused.


"Sampean in utus damel car mawon lek bade medal hut kaleh Abah yai (You are told to use the car if you go out the cottage with Abah yai). "Say Badrun


"Loh kang, not good with other students. I'm just wearing this. No papa kok. already yes kang, I hunted this." Surya. And immediately ride his ontel bike out of the cottage.


"Waduh, piye iki I mature abah yai.( Waduh , how about I tell abah yai)." Badrun said confused by scratching his head that did not itch.


With hesitation badrun sowan to abah yai. Kyai jauhari was watering flowers in front of the dhalem. Badrun was still standing bowed, waiting.


"Piye drun's? Solar gelem?( How's drun? Surya wants?) ask Yai Juuhari.


"Mboten bah's. Kang surya tetep ndamel ontel. (Not bah. Kang surya keep on wearing onthel )." Answer Badrun.


"Oah. Ngesak no.Bocah kui whereas nak jakarta kuno dadi derektur lo,"


Badrun opened his mouth wide


Sangking.


"City ... Close tutuk e kui. Kok iso gawking koyok ngunu to drun (In his mouth. How can it gape like that drun )." Said kyai far away while smiling at the shock of badrun.


"Nyuwun sewu bah. (I'm sorry bah )" Badrun looked down in shame.


"Sir popo.( It's okay )"


"Nyuwun sewu lo bah. Kang surya niku tiange kok saget teng mriki. I mean kulo, tiang e was well established. How to buy maleh teng mriki?'' Ask badrun.


Besides santri dhalem, badrun includes santri who is close to the ndalem family. Kyai Jahari already considers badrun like her own son.


"I sing jaluk tulung surya mondok nak kene. Thank God, boy and girl. Nyawang surya koyok nyawang I fit en biyen drun."


"Nggeh ba Kang surya niku politely sanget tiang e. Santri-santri sami remen kaleh tiang. Mboten gumede . (Yes bah. Kang Surya is very polite. Santri-santri likes the same person. Not arrogant)."


"Alhamdulillah.Mugo - mugo I did not choose wrong,"


"Mboten bah's. Kang surya niku sip tenan."


"Opo is drun?"


"Nggeh niku, kang surya sip. Sip mawon's. (Yes it .kang Surya. Sip, that's it)"


Badrun confused himself with the direction of the conversation.


"Haha. Sampean Iki drun kok funny men,"


Badrun immediately drowned his face. He felt ashamed of himself.


''Ya wes ngunu ae. (Yes that is it)"' Kyai Jauhari moved from his place.


''Ngguh, bah.''


Badrun retreat. After the kyai moved away from him.


''Oh Iyo drun. Surya bulloono, ko lek wes manduk Ojo lali Melu sowan nak ndaleme Gus Hakim. (Oh yes drun. Sayin to Surya. Later after he comes home. Don't forget, take the sowan to Gus Hakim's house)'' Message Kyai Jauhari.


''Suggeh bah."


Badrun who had been moving away immediately stopped his steps and turned to face Yai Jauhari. He lowered his body and nodded his head.

''Who?!" Call Hanan. He wakes up Zahwa who is asleep while waiting for Aunt Ami.


Seeing his sleeping wife Hanan could not bear to wake him. With ambush he lifted Zahwa from his seat


He had fallen asleep, with his hands resting on the patient's bed.


''Yes. Poor Zahwa all day not rest.'' Said Uncle Sam.


Soon Uncle Sam helped open the door. Only then did Hanan carry Zahwa out.


On their way out they cross paths with Hafiz and Wardah. Again Wardah was astonished by what was in front of him.


''I'll go home first . Tomorrow come again.'' Hanan pamit said.


''Oh yes, mas. Please. Thanks.'' Reply Hafiz while opening the way.


''Please come with me to the parking lot. Help me open the car door.'' Hanan said to hafiz


''Oh... Ok mas's. Come on!''


They headed for the parking lot.At that time the hospital corridor was very quiet. On a night like this, the hospital would look creepy. But not infrequently, of those who are still loyal to wait for family or relatives there.


As they passed through the corridor, almost all saw Hanan carrying Zahwa. They thought the woman was sick, but she was just asleep.


The nurse asked and offered help. But Hanan refused because his wife was asleep.


It was only after that, behind them the sisters vaguely praised Hananm's actions and prayed that they might also have a husband like Hanan.


Arrive at the parking lot. Hafiz opened the car door. Hanan carefully placed Zahwa in the back seat. Put to bed there. Zahwa is very quiet. Until they don't wake up at all.


''Be careful mas.'' Hafiz's message.


''OK. Thanks.'' Answer Hanan.


Hafiz waited until Hanan's car left the parking lot. Then he went back to his mother's room.


He hasn't yet got there. He saw Wardah sitting alone in front of his mother's room. His face is soft, down.


''You are not afraid. Night - night here?'' Ask hafiz suddenly.


''You ''You? They're home yet?'' Ask Wardah. He was unaware of Hafiz's presence


''Easy. They are very nice yes. Couples who look after each other.'' Answer Hafiz.


''Yes."


''I was asking? Aren't you afraid, alone here. Come on in, it's cold here, Lo." Take Hafiz.


''Hot, kang.''


''No, I'm wearing a jacket still cold."


Wardah looked at Hafiz with teary eyes. Her lips were red there was a stroke of sadness there. Sontak made hafiz dumbfounded.


''You cry?"


''Udah I hold mas, but still it hurts.'' Said Wardah by shedding her tears.


Hafiz grabs Wardah's head and rests on her shoulders.


''Quit all of them. No papa. Sorry, I'm not sensitive.'' Hafiz.


Wardah cried so much that he had to hide the sound of his crying in the arms of hafiz.


''Am I wrong to still love Hanan. She was my first love, she was like my life. And now I feel like I'm losing it all. Even more painful, I had to witness him with his wife.''


''You are not wrong. Love is not wrong, but it will be wrong if you force your love for yourself. As you know, if the person you love isn't your destiny."


''But why is it so difficult.''


''But that doesn't mean you can't deal with it. Think of it as a test of life, when you are able to face it and pass it later. You'll get beautiful results later."


''For example?''


''You found someone who loved. And always pray for yourself, even then without you knowing."


''I did that to Mas Hanan. But, he's not for me.''


''Are you sorry for praying for him?''


Wardah. He has no answer to that question. His heart was broken, that was all he felt now.
