The Journey of Love Habibah..

Purnomo Application

Habibah went through his days as usual, Nur also played every day at his house just to indulge in Habibah and play with Zain. Purnomo also took advantage of this situation to interact more with Habibah. Because the time off for one month was short enough for him to be able to reach the heart of his woman. Until one evening, when Purnomo picked Nur met with Habibah's father who had just returned from the garden. Purnomo said hello and a little pleasantries, as well as Habibah's father who already knew Purnomo invited him to sit first with him. They talk about work to the environment where they have developed quite rapidly in the development sector and the economy. All their chatter flowed until Habibah came to serve drinks and a plate of handmade snacks Habibah. After Habibah passed, Purnomo ventured to ask about Habibah.

" I'm sorry sir, I wanted to ask you about Habibah. Is she really a single parent?" ask Purnomo carefully.

" Oh. that's right. She has been a widow for three years, but thankfully she is fine." replied Mr. Rukmana.

" Three years? Meaning the same age as Zain?" Purnomo could not cover his surprise, he could hardly believe that Habibah had been widowed for that long.

" Yes, that's how it is.. His name is alive, we never know in the future what it will be like. Already so the provisions that have been outlined by God, we can only live it with sincerity." replied Mr. Rukmana.

" If I wanted to marry her, would you allow me?" ask Purnomo suddenly.

" Married my son? Son Purnomo is serious about this speech? "

" Of course I'm serious sir, I wouldn't joke about something like this. Besides because I love my father, my son also likes him a lot." Purnomo bluntly told Mr. Rukmana. Mr. Rukmana himself likes the gentle attitude shown by Purnomo.

" I will ask my son first, because after all he will live the household not me. So I leave it to my son, if he's willing then I only give you my blessing. But if he refuses, it means you are not a match." said Mr. Rukmana. But Habibah's father's answer made Purnomo's heart so agitated, he was anxious to think about what the answer from Habibah was.

After a long conversation, Purnomo finally resigned. Time is approaching Maghrib time. Purnomo came home with Nur with a million questions in his heart.

Will Nur receive my proposal? What if he refuses? He had refused many times, was he going to refuse this time? If he refuses, then what should I do? What about my son? What am I supposed to tell him? Will he be as heartbroken as I was? Ah Nur's... Why should there be such a situation? How can I get you and your heart? Why does it feel so hard to get you, but do you know Nur that I am also very difficult to forget you and eliminate my feelings. Oh God, help me this time. Make her heart accept this good intention..

All sorts of questions popped into his mind, he was completely tormented with questions that simply popped into his mind. And the worse he was not ready to accept the worst possibility, because all he wanted was Habibah to accept it.

" seed.. Here sit down first, I want to talk." call Mr. Rukmana to Habibah after dinner. And Habibahpun obeyed his father and immediately sat down near his father.

" What's up, huh? " ask Habibah while looking closely at his father's face. Because usually if he was called like that, there was something important that his father would talk about.

" When do you want to get married again?" her father's question really surprised her, as well as her mother who knew about the conversation that occurred between her husband and Purnomo this afternoon was also surprised.

" What are you talking about, Dad? Why are you suddenly asking about this? Do you mind Bibah's being here with you?" asked Habibah who suddenly there was sadness in his heart.

" Not so, I just want to see you find your happiness especially for your son Zain. Remember however he needs the love of a father, you must not deprive him of the right as a child to get his right to have enough affection for a father and his mother. Don't forget that." said his father at length, he hoped his son would open his heart to marry again.

" Yes, I understand that. But finding a good father figure for Zain is not easy for you. If just finding a husband is easy, but finding someone who can be a good father to Zain is not as easy as finding a husband." Habibah tried to give his father an excuse so that his father would not ask him again about marrying him.

" Why did you suddenly ask about Mas Pur well, he was just a friend" replied Habibah with a face blushing from nervousness.

" Hey.. I don't ask what your relationship is with Purnomo. What I ask you about Purnomo, is he a good father to your son Zain or not? That's what I asked, why else would you answer?" mr. Rukmana looks to see the gelagat that makes him happy, he is sure if the child is nervous because he has a heart also on Purnomo.

" If that.. Bibah does not know well." replied Habibah while bowing his face.

" I think he's on the criteria you want." Mr. Rukmana did not take his eyes off his son's face, he really wanted to see Habibah's reaction if he continued to discuss Purnomo.

" Where do you know he can be a good father to Zain?" asked Habibah in curiosity.

" Have you forgotten that she also had a child that she had to take care of herself since the child was a toddler? If he can take care of his own child means he is a good father, if he is not a good father then it is impossible that he can take care of his own child. Try to think about it." explained his father trying to bring Habibah to think far. And it is true if Habibah just thought about it at this time.

" What does this have to do with the Bible? " Habibah still does not understand the direction of the conversation his father is heading.

" Look.. Purnomo submitted his proposal to his father to marry him. And I want to talk about this with you, because later you will live the household instead of father. But according to my father, he's the right man for you and your son. What do you think of this?" ask Rukmana to his wife.

" Mom says the same as my father says.."

" I think so too, brother.. If I were a big brother I'd say okay right away." between Dona cut off her mother's unfinished sentence.

" You're just playing hard, not polite to know." said his mother while gently hitting Dona's shoulder. Dona laughed while leaning her head on her mother's shoulder.

" Mas Pur proposed to Bibah yah..?" Habibah repeated his father's words to be a question for his father as well as for himself. He still could not believe his hearing if Purnomo had submitted a proposal for him.

" yes.. He was serious about what he said and I was sure of it. Think carefully about everything you've told you. In addition, we also already know what kind of person and how his family. Everything can be a consideration, so slowly you think about it all. And remember Zain needs the figure of a real father tang not only his affection that he needs, but also his real figure who can be his protector and be used as a role model for him." mr. Rukmana advised gently that Habibah really wanted to open himself and accept a new relationship again.

" Good yeah.. What you said is all true. Later Bibah will talk directly with mas Pur. If so, Bibah rest first yes well.pity Zain is sleepy and bibah also tomorrow must wake up at dawn to make a cake order." I was ready to go into his room early.
