The Chosen Heart Part 2

Palau

The arrival of Isna to the house of her parents, without Dani, certainly makes wonder mom and dad, also Wahid.

That question was also asked. " Why isn't Dani coming?"

And as planned, he replied that Dani was working.

Mom did not believe it right away. Because for months of marriage, never once did Isna go, not just to her parents' house, anywhere, only alone, without Dani.

That is the reason why the arrival of Isna really invites astonishment.

" There's nothing, mama. Isna suddenly wanted to come here. What's mom cooking? Isna hungry ma."

His distraction finally worked. Mama invited Isna inside, to get her own food. No more asking why Dani didn't come. But Isna broke her intention. He was even interested in meeting the father, who was in the backyard.

" Father, assalamu'alaykum.." Isna.

Father has been busy in recent months with his new activities, planting ornamental plants. Backyard of my father's favorite place at the moment.

" Ah, Neng. Wa'alaykumussalam's chat. By yourself?"

" Yes." Yeah." Isna kissed the back of the father's hand.

" Tumbent."

" Yes, she wants to come here again. Aa's working again."

" Ooh, that's it."

" yes. Father now sells houseplants?"

" No intention yet, Neng. If it sells well?"

" I'm pa, if it's good."

" Nice aren't the father's plants?"

" Good."

" Dad sell?"

" Yes up to the father."

" Through medsos ya Neng."

" Father's tea serious?"

" If it can be sold, why not ? What matters is the man."

Isna laughed, "The Father knows it now."

" Atuh yes, Kan must always be up date, so it is not old fashioned."

" The old one is expensive."

" If the old-fashioned father is expensive too ?"

" Maybe it was at the nursing home. Kidding me."

The father laughed, revealing the lines of aging on his face.

" It's Maghrib. Father not to the mosque?"

" Oh, yeah? Not felt."

The father rose from his squatting position.

" Neng stayed over ?"

" No, pa."

" Why not?"

" Not authorized. Tomorrow.deh yeah, Isna's staying here."

" All right, just set it how good it is."

The Father entered the house, but Isna remained in her place. Looking at the enchanting sky.

The twilight is getting orange, the sign of the night will come soon. It should be a good day, for there are wonderful things to share with those who love and love Isna. But all was forgotten, leaving only a disturbance, because of the arrival of the woman.

Leave a question that is still not fully able Isna believe the answer.

Why is Dani's answer just like that?

Why does it feel like Isna does not believe that Dani and Anindita are just like that?

This feeling is so strong, whispering that it is not really that simple the past of the man who has asked for it. Not that short story. Isna could very well feel that something was wrong. Butwhat?

Did Isna suspect Dani? Yes, Isna suspects Dani to be dishonest.

Even if Dani is not honest, will Isna accept the fact that she was lied to?

Whoever it is, no one wants to be lied to.

But, is Isna like this able to solve the problem?

She should be able to ask, ask her husband to be honest. Not just shut up and leave.

Face it, whatever the answer Dani will give at the insistence of Isna, he must be able to accept. Even if Dani will continue to lie, Isna must be ready to accept it.

Ah, Isna doesn't know, what exactly is going on.

Adzan maghrib. It is time for Isna to spill all her gala before the Power.

And hopefully after that his heart will be calmer.

The completion of the Maghrib prayer of Isna did not directly leave her place of prostration. He recited, chanted Shalawat, and heard murrotals from his cell phone until Isha's time came.

Dani contacted Isna by phone, shortly after Isna finished praying Isha.

Dani asks if Isna wants to be picked up.

" If Isna wants to stay over?" pinta Isna to Dani.

" Yes, then Aa's staying over, okay?"

" Whatever."

" All right then. Aa go there, huh? Neng wants a change of clothes?"

" No need. There's still clothes."

" Well, see you?"

" Yes." Yeah."

" Wa'alaykumussalam ."

Insipid, Isna felt her heart was bland to face her husband.

The door to his room was knocked on by someone.

" Isna, what else?" mom's voice called.

" It's okay, ma."

" Exit yuk.Mama wants to exchange stories with Isna."

" Yes, a minute."

Isna went out of the room, found all her family members gathered in the living room.

" Sit here or Neng." The Father invited Isna to sit next to him.

She sits between mom and dad.

" Dani will pick up at what time ?" Wahid asked.

" I don't know, but he said he wanted to stay the night."

" Neng wants to stay ?"mom sounds enthusiastic.

" Yes." Yeah."

" Thank God."

" At last you want to stay too, mom is the same father to feel missed, you know."

Isna was caught hearing the sentence that came out of Wahid's mouth earlier. The mother gave thanks when Isna said she would stay. Has he not felt the longing of his parents for seven months? Yes, maybe Isna was too washed away in her happiness with Dani, to forget that her parents still feel lost, and expect her to come to visit often, if necessary overnight .

" Isna apologized... Mama says dong that mom's the same kangen father. Tell me if I want Isna to stay here."

" Yes bad or if you ordered Isna to stay. Consciousness alone."

" Yes yes... Sorry Isna yaa..."

The Father smiled as he embraced Isna's shoulder. Isna also put her head on the father's chest.

There was a feeling of peace running through Isna's heart. It was very desirable to be able to share this unrest with the father, with mama, but it felt Isna could not bear.

The marriage is not yet a year old. And Isna should not have brought unpleasant stories to the two people who have been so instrumental to her life. Both people will be very happy if he feels happy, and will be very sad if Isna is sad.

Let the little story that happened this morning be the story that only Isna knows.

Suddenly, she remembered something.

" Yen! Oyen where's ma?"

" Oh yeah, where's Oyen going?" my mother asked my father again.

" It was taken by Nadia." Wahid finally answered.

" Nadia? Brought where?"

" Yes to his house or, Geulis."

" Take yes? Isna's going to Nadia's house ah."

" Eh, what do you want?"

" Want to see Oyen."

Wahid touched Isna's head, "Kangen more like Oyen than the same father mama?"

" it's not so."

" Yes, after all, the Oyen has been asked by Nadia. Already, just love it. Later you buy a new cat, or look again at the reception person."

Isna smiled almost laughing at the words Wahid said.

" Oyen is full of memories."

" Yes make new memories with a new cat, so it's a hassle."

Wahid walked out.

" Where's Hid going?"mama asked.

" Some time ma, go to the shop."

" Food sales are still good Neng?" my mother asked Isna.

" Yet, ma. Thank God, there is a little mah order. Abis made tumpeng."

" Lumpengs? No bother? Big right?"

" Before opening an order Isna has learned how to marketing, delivery.so already know."

" drawn? With motors?"

" Using the car. I give you the car, he said for Isna's business operations."

" Oh yeah?" The father was a little surprised. " You're given a car?"

" yes. A Dani's car is often carried. Let's not bother, said Isna's father must have a car too."

" Isna can drive a car?"

" It could be, never studied time in Bali. But I don't have a SIM yet, so Mas Arif is the driver."

" Oh..."

Their conversation was interrupted by Dani's arrival.

Saying greetings, making small talk for the sake of politeness, father and mother let Dani in.

She saw the face of her husband. Looks a little tired. Is he just as beautiful as Isna?

Dani looked back at him, then smiled. " Aa bring this for Isna, for father and mother."

Dani handed him the plastic bag he was carrying.

Isna received it, had a peek at the contents, then took it to the kitchen, to be placed on a plate.
