Habibah had been thinking about Purnomo's proposal all night, but he still could not decide what answer he would give Purnomo.
And as usual, around 10 am Purnomo will deliver Nur to play at Habibah's house. And as usual, Purnomo just drove him to the side of the road in front of his house, after that he will go home. That day Habibah deliberately waited for him in his home, as soon as Nur would enter the yard of his house Habibahpun immediately ran a small approach to Purnomo who had turned his body to return home.
" Mas Pur wait..!" habibah shouted in a bit of a hurry.
" Yes..?" Purnomo turned to the voice that called out to him, but somehow suddenly a nervousness attacked him. He did not even dare to look at Habibah's face.
" Em.. can we talk to you for a second?" ask Habibah no less nervous with Purnomo.
" Now..?" ask Purnomo who sounds a little silly.
" Yes now the future of the year." replied Habibah a little sewot. Purnomo who saw Habibah sewot can only smile.
" All right.." Purnomo finally followed Habibah's steps and sat in his cool house. Habibah went into his house for a while and returned with a cup of tea and a plate of snacks as usual.
" Wah. like not so briefly this Nur if there is a treat like this." said Purnomo trying to neutralize the awkwardness that suddenly created between the two.
" Look, this has fulfilled what my father said last night, and I must have known what it was. And I want to hear it from Pur himself, is it possible?" habibah asked in a voice that shook slightly from her nervousness. And Purnomo could clearly catch the nervousness of Habibah's voice.
" Yes.. I want to marry you, and you know my heart has never changed in the past. So can you accept me this time?" ask Purnomo without making small talk.
" But mas.. I've hurt Pur too much, I feel unworthy to get such a big feeling from the side. And I also know, I'm like this.."
" I never cared about your past, all I knew was that my heart and feelings never changed and diminished for you. The matter of merit and inappropriate is not you who decide, but I Nur. I want to be with you and I feel you deserve to be with me. If it's inappropriate, what's the line between appropriate and inappropriate? Can you explain that to me?" tanya Purnomo seriously. And Habibah just shook his head slowly as a sign that he could not explain what Purnomo questioned.
" Nur.. Do not bring too much past to organize the future, if you are like this then you will be difficult to escape from the past and it will be difficult for you to be happy. You deserve to be happy. Besides, my son likes you a lot and you know that too. If that little one could fall in love with you that easily, then what about me, Nur?" ask Purnomo. Purnomo's honesty made Habibah's face blush, fortunately he wore a veil if it is not sure it is clear his face is reddened by blushing shame. When the atmosphere was warm like that, suddenly there was a woman who was screaming while entering the yard of her house filled with anger.
" Father hypocritical woman..! Seductive husband people..! You bitch..! Women are shameless..! Free you dress like a pious but foul-hearted person..!" shouting and mockery continued to be spoken for Habibah. And Habibah knew the woman well, he knew very well who the woman who was now angry.
" Mba Lina? Why come in this angry way? Let's sit down first.." Habibah tried to approach Lina with the intention to take her to sit first. But unfortunately Habibah's intention was not well received by Lina, Lina was getting angry and began to grip the hijab that was being worn by Habibah and intend to open it in public so that Habibah was embarrassed. Purnomo who saw it certainly could not stand still, he also gripped Lina's hand firmly so that Lina would release her grip on the hijab worn by Habibah.
" If you want to talk, just speak with your mouth, don't use your hands either. Because not only you can play rough here, I can also do that." said Purnomo firmly with a sharp eye aimed at Lina's eyes. Lina felt fear in her heart, but because of her emotions she was still hardened.
" Who are you? Jagan meddles in other people's affairs, just take care of your own affairs there." Lina still did not want to release the grip of her hand from the hijab of Habibah.
" His business is my business as well, if you want to deal with him it means you have to be ready to deal with me." Purnomo further tightened the grip of his hand that made Lina grimace to endure the pain in her wrist that was gripped by Purnomo. Lina finally released her hand, but her hand was still in Purnomo's grip.
" Consider these words of mine, never dare you hurt him. If that happens, then you'll regret having done it." Purnomo said it by bringing his face closer to Lina's ear, which made Lina shiver at the threat of Purnomo that sounded creepy. Purnomo violently threw Lina's hand so that it almost made Lina fall.
" Who is she?" ask his mother who does not know who this woman is.
" He's Lina ma.. He is his wife mas Qodir." said Habibah while fixing his hijab that had been messy.
Plakkc...
A slap landed hard on Lina's face from the hands of her mother Habibah. Everyone there was shocked, including Habibah. She did not expect that her mother would hit Lina in front of everyone who saw the drama happen.
" O crazy woman.. You seem to be that woman.. What did you say just now? My daughter is a shameless woman? Bullies people's husbands? A hypocrite? Are you announcing who you really are? Didn't you take my son's husband? Doesn't that mean you who don't know shame by coming here and doing lowliness like this. Aren't you the hypocrite because you twisted the facts about who the bitch is here? You said my son was free to dress like that? Do you think your clothes are better than my son's? What right do you have to judge my son like that? You should take good care of your husband so as not to bother my son again. And tell your husband he can go back to my son but that's just in his imagination. Because at any moment he'll never come back to your husband. Because now my son is also going to marry someone much better than your husband. Now hurry up you get out of here and tell that to your beloved husband." Habibah's mother spoke at length out of anger until she did not realize that her words surprised everyone including Habibah and Purnomo
Shamed and angry, Lina left Habibah's house.
Just wait for you Habibah, I will repay this humiliation by many times folding it to you. You may be happy now, but it's only temporary because my revenge will come to you soon.
People began to leave the courtyard of Habibah's house because the spectacle was over. For the gossipers of course this is big news to be the gossip material that must be exciting.
" Are you okay, Nur?" purnomo asked Habibah who still looked shocked by the arrival of Lina who suddenly went crazy.
" I'm okay, just surprised. Didn't know there would be something like this." replied Habibah honestly.
Purnomo very understand the feeling felt by Habibah, because once a similar incident had also been experienced by Habibah because of his mistake. And now it's happening again because of her ex-husband.
His mother brought Habibah into his house and sat in the guest room, while Purnomo just followed him without being asked.
" It's official, right?" suddenly Purnomo broke the silence with a hanging question.
" What's official?" habibah and his mother asked almost simultaneously.
" Wouldn't you just announce it in front of a lot of people when you forget?" ask Purnomo while smacking a smile, but it just looks sweet to look at.
" What announcement?" Habibah still doesn't understand.
" That's your future husband and you're getting married soon, remember?" Purnomo smiled broadly when he finished his sentence. Habibah who remembered his mother's words earlier could only bow his face while putting one of his palms to cover part of his face. While her mother only realized that she had said things that should not be said in front of many people, while she herself did not know what the decision of Habibah was. Now his words seemed to have become a trap set by a mother on her child.
" I'm sorry mom, bibah, Mama was carried away by emotions. Mama just doesn't want you to be bullied again by them, that's all it really is." said her mother regretted her words regarding her marriage.
" It's been ma. it's been, so yes.. Maybe this way God wants to show us the way." Habibah replied slowly.
" So you're willing to marry me Nur..?" asked Purnomo while looking fixed on Habibah's face. Habibah did not answer him with words, he just nodded his head slowly.
