The Love Story of Children Santri

Chapter 67

"Sherley!"

No matter what the screams of Sherly's mother kept running away from the abortion clinic. Escaping is the best verdict.

Sherly didn't want the baby. But having an abortion is terrible. Many women have died from abortion. Didn't his mother think of that?

"No! I can't do it. I want to live."

"Sherley! Stop you."

"Mama," muttered Sherly who ran again.

"Sherley!"

No matter what his safety is at the moment. The most important thing is that he escaped from the pursuit of his mother.

Uh!

Ckiitt! ... Bugh.

Right in front of his eyes a car stopped. Body shaking violently, chest so tight. The shadow of death is still in sight. Could the angel of death not take his life? The fear is real and real.

"Mba okay?"

A second his head looked up at a man standing beside him.

"Am I still alive?"

"What's? Uh ... Mba!"

What a silly question Sherly asked. Until he fell unconscious. The man panicked and took Sherly into his car.

"Oh God did I just hit people? Is this woman alive?"

Not many think the man immediately drove his car to the hospital.

*****

Joseph contemplated himself after getting a call from his sister-in-law. The left hand held his chest. What is he feeling right now? Disappointed, afraid, after hearing the story from Adam.

"Adam's Asalamualaikum? Yeah, what's the impact on the phone at this hour."

" ..... "

"No-no, no bother at all. What's wrong?"

" ..... "

"you mean? Why are you saying about Asthma?"

" .... "

"Did Asthma accept that proposal?"

" .... "

Uneasily. That is what Joseph feels today.

'If Joseph's brother has good intentions, it is better to move with good intentions. Don't let brother regret it later.'

These are the words Adam remembered. And of course Joseph became anxious if Asma accepted the man's proposal. Joseph immediately got out of his bed walking towards the bathroom and took ablution water. Istikhoroh prayers are to be done at this time hoping to get a clue.

"Mrs ....."

"Yusuf? What's up?"

"Yusuf wanted to propose to someone."

"What's? Apply?"

The glimpsed wall clock shows 02:00 was still early in the morning maybe everyone is still on sleep. Joseph wakes up and suddenly says he wants to propose to someone.

"Yusuf, are you dreaming?"

"No, this is not a dream. Tomorrow morning Mama accompanied Yusuf to propose to the woman," he said, then walked to his room. Marwah is still dumbfounded.

*****

"Aby's not asleep?"

"Just finished praying tahajud,* replied Adam. " Sleep again" he said, gently rubbing Eve's head.

"Even the holidays first yes By to pray tahajudnya?"

"Yes, it's okay." Eve fell asleep again.

Drt ... Drt ... Drt ...

The phone surprised him. Adam took the phone. A message from Joseph.

Adam smiled after getting the message. "Alhamdulillah" he said.

Adam took his cell phone back and fell asleep. It felt like my heart was so relieved after getting an answer from Joseph.

*****

"Joseph, who would you like to apply to?"

"Mama will know."

"You're a freak. Suddenly I propose.*

"Didn't Mama really want Joseph to get married? Good intentions must be quickened."

"Yes. But it doesn't take nights to surprise Mama." Joseph smiled when he remembered last night as very funny.

At home Kiyai Ummi is busy preparing a banquet for the guest that Adam said. Even Ummi was not told who would come to propose to his students. Not to forget Asma was invited to attend because she was the woman who would be proposed.

"Aby what the hell is this? Suddenly everyone was busy. Who are we going to have guests?"

"Sister Joseph."

"Sister Joseph?" Eve was amazed at what her sister was coming for. And everyone was busy preparing for the banquet like the arrival of a large guest.

"Aby's wife is daydreaming? Let's get ready and get some pretty ones."

"Ngapain By. Brother Yusuf who came here all excited."

"Aby's wife never asked that much. Today is a special day. A special day for our family."

"Make it worse."

Joseph and Marwah have come. Everyone gathered in the living room. Kiyai and Ummi, who knew what Joseph meant, were shocked. Because it was never thought that Joseph would propose to Asma. However, they are also happy to be able to release Asthma to the right man who God willing will make the world and the hereafter happy.

"Assalamualaik."

The sound of greeting turned their eyes on the door. Which is where Asthma is already standing there.

"Waalaikumsalam," they answered in unison.

Eve and Marwah were astonished by the presence of Asma among them. Do they think Asma was the woman Joseph was going to ask for? For a second their faces glanced at Joseph, who was so cheerful and smiled beautifully at the prospective woman who was to be at his sermon.

Marwah fell silent and lowered her head. There was happiness on his son's face. What about the problems that have befallen his family. Does he have to forget that?

Unlike Marwah who just looked down. Eve, showing clearly her unhappiness with a sullen facial expression. Because Eve strongly disagreed that Joseph was with Asma.

"Asma, come in, son. Let's sit down." Ummi led Asthma to sit among them. Asthma looks confused what is really in the house.

"What's up Ummi?"

"Asma, on this good day. We have a man who wants to preach you. That man is Joseph, a man you may have known.

Asma's gaze was immediately fixed on Joseph who was in front of him.

"Everything has gathered. Son, Yusuf please tell me your purpose in coming here? By what means did you come to see us," said Kiyai.

"Bismillah." Joseph looked nervous. "Thank you for the time. My intention and purpose for coming with my mother was to treat Asthma. Asthma will you accept my proposal?"

O Allah, is this seriously the brother of Joseph proposing to me?, Inner Asma.

"Thank God for a very good intention. Son Asma how about you are you going to accept Yusuf's proposal?" ask Kiyai.

Asthma breathed a long breath. Then glance at Marwah and Eve alternately.

"Is it true that Joseph wanted to propose to Asma to be a wife? Brother Yusuf is sure Asma will be a good wife?"

"Being a good wife is the duty of the husband who will educate his wife later" answered Joseph.

Asthma was silent for a moment.

"What good will Joseph's brother have given to Joseph's mother and brother? Do they agree?" Joseph immediately glanced at the two women nearby. Marwah was beside him and Eve was in front of him.

Their facial expressions indicated if they objected. Especially the ones who didn't smile at all.

"Good intentions without family blessing will not be perfect and happy when we live it. Maybe there was a lack of me and my family that made them object. Asma was very grateful to Brother Joseph with good intentions even though she knew what my family was like. But Asthma can't if you have to live this relationship without the blessing of Mom and sister."

For a second they all looked at Eve and Marwah. Adam looked at his wife and Umm Khodijah looked at Marwah. Could it be that Marwah still refused to open her heart? And will Eve never give her blessing?

...----------------...

So be stubborn. What was the decision of Marwah and Eve? Could Joseph persuade them?
