" mom. Brother Nurul. I want to ask..!! " Tanya Syifa while looking at Mamah and her brother intensely impressed probing.

They are currently at Syifa's house, having been escorted by Qenan two hours ago in a Qenan company office car. Zian was allowed to go home by the doctor.

The three of them were sitting on the sofa in the living room. While Fatimah was at the stall where her sewing business had been done from two years ago.

Likewise with Qenan after dropping off Syifa's family, he bailed to go to the hotel where he stayed while completing his work at the office.

" Want to ask what deck ?? " Said Mamah and Nurul simultaneously.

Syifa took a quick glance towards Zian's tightly shut room. Syifa was sure that the boy was asleep after being fed by Fatimah.

" Serious brother wants to marry Qenan ?? " Tanya Syifa needs clarification from Mamah and her brother.

This question was from yesterday held in his custody. He did not want to ask this in front of Qenan.

" God willing, deck...!! Brother is serious because brother saw the seriousness of Adalrich to me and I saw the closeness of Zahrah with him.They are very close "

" Actually this is not immediately decided. Adalrich's brother from four years ago expressed his feelings for me in the presence of Papah.But, at that time the brother was still traumatized by the failed marriage of brother with Abinya Zahrah "

" Boy Adalrich did not force his brother. He patiently waited and gave space for my brother to think. Everything was going naturally and ever since he had revealed that intention, he had never again asked that of big brother "

" He acted as if he never revealed anything to sister. But he intensely comes on papah and often invites papah and Zahrah to the road, so his relationship with Zahrah is very close. "

" Truly, after the marriage sister failed. Brother has closed the door of brother's heart to return home. But as time went on, brother was touched by the kindness of the sincere Kak Adalrich. His attention to Zahrah and his attitude that is always polite with people, this is what opens slowly the hearts of brothers who have frozen "

Nurul paused for a moment and sighed deeply, then bowed.

" Till a month ago. Zahrah's brother came to me again. He begged to come back to me "Imbuh Nurul continued his speech.

Syifa frowned. " Seek a referral ?? His wife wants to be accompanied ??"

Nurul shook his head slowly. " I don't know, I really don't understand humans like that. According to what I heard, his wife had given birth twice, but his daughter was all. While they wanted a boy, what else Uminya "

" Astagfirullah.they thought, this wife is just a tool to test their desires. Basic human kufr "Anger Syifa resisted the annoyance of hearing Nurul's words.

" Yes deck. This was heard by Adalrich. He proposed to her in front of Papah. Brother finally decided to accept Kak Adalrich's proposal, besides brother can convince the heart of brother, brother also wants to avoid Abinya Zahrah who continues to interfere with Brother's life "

Syifa let out her breath that felt tight. " But the problem is not the kindness or seriousness of Qenan. Do my brothers, Mamah and Papah know that Qenan is different from our faith ?? "

Mama who had just silenced listening to her two children talking, suddenly looked at Syifa and smiled gently.

" Syifa, Mama's Sholeh !! Mamah and Papah and your brother Nurul, this is not a fanatic. But, God willing, we still have faith and do not want to choose a life partner for your dear brother "Say Mama softly while stroking the head of Syifa protected by her solemn.

Syifa frowned and glanced at her brother.

Nurul chuckled softly. " Sister Adalrich has been converted since before coming to Indonesia. At that time, he had not met his brother. That is, he converted to Islam that has no tendency but because it is purely for his belief in Allah. He converted to Islam after his parents allowed him to. Both her parents set her free to choose her trust "

Syifa let out her breath of relief. " Thank God if it's like that. Because to my knowledge, Qenan was a Catholic "

" Yes, according to him, his religion used to be catholic. And he is interested in Islam because he has a friend who is Muslim. The attitude and care of his friend who always keep his marwah that makes him interested in learning about Islam "

" Thank God it's like that, brother. As far as I know Qenan is a good person and always care with others "

" But he was nosy and always made me upset first "Syifa continued in his heart.Of course he did not want to tell the behavior of Qenan first. He was afraid that it would ruin Qenan's relationship with his brother.

" If he's a neighbor of your apartment. That means Kak Maliq knows him, right ?? Kak Maliq long time accompany you in Germany " said Nurul arrived.

Syifa raised her face and was slightly surprised by Nurul's words.

" l-iya. Kak Maliq knew him "Syifa said briefly and then threw his gaze in another direction.

Nurul who saw Syifa's uncomfortable moment of regret with his words.

" I'm sorry, dek.kakak did not mean to bring up the name of the person who has hurt you "Sesal Nurul.

Syifa smiled faintly. " It's okay Brother "

There was a heavy sigh from Mamah.She was also surprised by Nurul's words.

" Syifa !! Mamah wants to tell you something "Condock Mamah arrived while looking at the face of the youngest child.

" What is it, Mah ?? " Syifa raised her face looking at the middle-aged woman.

" Overnight, the three of you with Fatimah were looking for food. Zian told mama about something "Mamah paused his speech and stared inside the clear netra of the girl with the baby.

" Haa..Zian what story, mah ?? " Cecar Syifa was impatient.

Mamah recounted her conversation with her granddaughter.

The flash back

" Mother..Zian felt guilty for Umi.Gara because Zian Umi was shunned by Abi, Grandpa and grandmother "Connected Zian arrived while being fed by her grandmother.

Grandma Zian frowned with a look of wonder.

" Why does Zian feel guilty, honey ?? And Grandma and Grandpa never stayed away from Ummu "Tanya Mamah Syifa.

" Said friend Zian at the quarantine place when Zian joined Hafidz Indonesia so. He said he had an aunt. Tantenya gave birth to his son and because his son was born, his aunt was kicked out of the house, hated by both his grandparents. Her aunt lives apart from her grandparents "

" Every aunt comes with her child, she gets kicked out and her grandfather nailed her "as long as you take that child, don't try to get you into this house. With the birth of this child, you have made the family ashamed.Your son has no father, no idea who the father is. Now go you and don't come while you're taking that damn kid !! That's what Zian's friend said "

" Said friend Zian. His cousin had no father like Zian had no Abi. And said Zian's friend, because of his cousin until the tantenya always cry "Tutur Zian plain with glassy eyes.

" Athaghfirullah's...Zian had Abi nak.and his grandparents never got angry or hated Ummu "Mamah sobbed to hear his granddaughter's words.

" So that's why Zian ran away from the house, son ?? " Tanya Mamah held back her stuffing while hugging the little man's body.

" Yes, grandma. Zian wants Umi to be happy and not hated by Abi, his grandfather and grandmother. Maybe if Zian leaves, Abi will come to pick up Umi and Zian can see and know Abi even from a distance. Zian leaves but Zian will come to see silently what Abi Zian's face looks like. Abi must be very dear to Umi, right, Nek ?? " Said Zian enthusiastically but with glassy eyes.

Mama's cry broke out and did not know what to say. His voice was stuck in his throat. He could only tightly hug the handsome boy's body while sobbing bitterly.

" Don't cry grandma !! Zian is evil, mother.bikin people cry !! " Said Zian in a sad tone of guilt.

" Shh...Zian don't talk like that. Zian was the favorite of Umi, grandfather, grandmother, Umi Nur, Kak Zahra and Mother Fatimah. Grandma please never think of leaving Ummu. Um you love you so much. Umm you don't have a life without you, boy !! "

" And the matter of your Abi, one time Umi will take you to Abi.Trust me, Son. Again, if Zian loves Umi. Never think of leaving Umi. Zian can promise grandma ?? "

Zian nodded slowly." God willing, grandma..Zian will always take care of Umi until Abi comes to pick Umi "Promise the little boy with a serious face even though his eyes are glassy.

Flash back Off

Syifa cried loud to hear the words of her Mom.

" It's wrong, Mah. It turns out that silent my son keeps an inner burden that makes him depressed "
