after finishing eating, I was invited to the guest room by her mother ruby, we all went there, again I did not see her husband ruby.
"where the vano went, I didn't see it" my inner self.
"papa knowsin, this is aunt ririn.." syifa suddenly woke up from her seat and introduced the family members to me, as if she also belonged to this family.
I looked at the rowdy girl called ririn by Syifa, I smiled at her she also returned my smile, I did not introduce myself because I was sure they would already know my name.
"Here is. grandma siti.." continued the little girl ran towards the mother ruby named siti, I smiled as well as she.
then Syifa ran to the right "And this..this is his grandfather fafa, his name is grandfather ali.." said syifa enthusiastically, the little girl immediately jumped into the lap of the man she called was ali's grandfather she must be ruby father.
it seems like among them other than ruby, syifa really likes her father ruby, I think the middle-aged man will get angry, I think, but I saw om ali happily bringing the syifa into his lap.
I looked at the ruby, the woman just smiled at me, I was still confused if this is a vano house why I did not see it from earlier.
ruby no longer questioned where we went for 2 weeks, because last night the cute little girl syifa had explained everything to ruby.
because the curiosity was too big I asked them, but I did not expect a question that could make them all silent.
"Eeem, sorry before om, aunt.from earlier bian here...but how can not see her husband ruby yes..??"
they fell silent and looked at me with a difficult gaze to understand, then they turned to look at the ruby, I also looked in the direction they were looking at, when I saw the ruby I was linking my eyebrows together.. confused...
I saw a ruby on his head and before long he stood up and ran up the stairs to his room and I saw ririn and Syifa following him from behind, I was still confused by all this, "was my question wrong..??" my inner.
"your questions are not wrong." as if knowing my thoughts om ali answered, until I was amazed.
"bian come with me for a while." he asked, but I looked at aunt siti, the middle-aged woman nodded.
I immediately stood up from my seat and followed om ali, it turns out I was taken to his study room, there om ali was sitting in his chair waiting for me.
"sit down." he said without a smile.
I sat down on the sofa facing him.
"you asked me where ruby's husband is...??" ask him to me.
"i.iya om" I replied stammering. "wah.atmosphere kok so serem ya" my mind.
"do you know..? ruby was divorced with vano 2 weeks ago..?" said om ali who made my eyes widen perfectly..
"what..??ke..why can you get divorced..om??" ask me.
then om ali told me everything from the beginning of ruby married until they divorced, sometimes I shut my mouth and miss what vano did during the ruby husband, ruby, it turns out that all this time the smile that I always see on his beautiful face was behind it there was a deep wound, I did not expect women should get such a heavy ordeal..
"even that jerk has dared to dare to nod his dirty hands on my son" again.
I also saw the look on the face of om ali who hated the jerk, I clenched my hand tightly until the veins on my wrist sprung to the surface.
"so bian.. if you really love your daughter, then go after her and make her love you too, if you know you are a good and responsible person, om will not be concerned about your status, om will not be concerned about your status, because the son of om is also a widow, but if you are just to comfort his feelings.You better never give him hope and ignore him."
I digested every word in his words, "finally my prayer'a do'a all this time you answered his God.Give me patience and strength as I conquer his heart O god, because I really love her because of you" my inner self.
"god willing om..bian will always love him because of Allah" I replied steadily.
I saw the man in front of me smiling happily, after chatting we went out and headed for the living room.
brian pov off

Rubby pov
dead I forgot about it, and now that painful memory is coming back, like a gaped wound and a lime squash on it, my tears are falling like magic, I'm afraid.....I was afraid I could not control myself when I thought about that time.
airin and the syifa that followed me sat on the edge of the bed and the syifa approached me, the little girl hugged me on her stomach.
"aunty..why cry..?? is aunt sick..?" that little voice called to me, making the open wound seem to be getting better again.
I changed my stomach position to a sitting position, I looked at the plain face that was sad looking at me, I gently rubbed his face and I hugged it tightly.
as if God had deliberately sent this little angel for me to be the medicine of my wounded heart, I realized that he was not my flesh and blood, but somehow I felt at ease near him.
"i can't blame him, because he doesn't know what, I have to explain everything to him..I can't keep getting stuck in my dark past" my mind cheered up.
I took off my arms to her, and then I smiled at her.
"good auntie is good enough.." I shower her two cheeks with a kiss, making the little girl giggle amused.
then I took the two of them downstairs, I saw him under my own mother, I just sat myself on my couch and I saw Brian coming with my father.
"yan can talk for a second..??" I said with a loud voice.
he nodded then I walked out of the house and he followed me from behind, until we reached the long bench next to my house.
"yan..me." I stopped as he quickly cut my words.
"i know.I know everything, right by..?? why all this time you never told me..have you never trusted me as a friend of yours.??"
asking her in a very soft voice makes my chest instantly better, I don't know how I feel, but when I'm with her it feels like there's something different in me, but I'm afraid to fall back in love, I was afraid that the time was coming back, I knew this man in front of me was a good man, but.....
"sorry yan.buka I do not believe in you.. but..but I am afraid.hiks....hiks.." said I wirih.
he didn't answer, he just looked at me.
"by.. can I come after you...?? can you open your heart for me..??" he said arrive.
I was a little surprised when I heard his words, I looked at the brown net to find a lie, but only the sincerity contained in the brown net, when it dawned on me to quickly throw my gaze in the other direction, several times I bristirghfar.
"why do you want to chase after me..? what's the reason..?" my eyes are straight ahead.
he didn't answer him immediately, then he took a breath before continuing.
"first, because I like you, honestly, this is the second time I've been in love with a woman, since my wife died I never opened my heart to a woman again, many girls who want to be my wife but I never once glanced at them, even ummi several times told me to marry again to give a mother syifa, at that time I was thinking right, said ummi Syifa needs the love of a mother, then I tried to open my heart to a woman she was my colleague, but she was my friend... he just wants me not to be with my daughter, he treats her badly, so I don't want to get married again, but from the first moment I met you I felt that there was something different in me, and again the syifa really liked you, all this time the syifa was never close to anyone other than me and ummi, I don't know, even when we met a few times, and when I found out you were a married woman, do you know how I felt at that time...??everything is messed up. I even had time to blame myself why my heart must fall on a place that already has inhabitants, he said, until I finally prayed istikhorah to ask the khalik for guidance so that I was not wrong in stepping, the first night I got an answer there was only a lump of light from ignorance, he said, then the second night I prayed again, and my second answer was that a hijab-wearing woman was walking towards me but her face was covered in a faint light, even though she looked very fragile, and the last night I prayed isthorah I immediately got the answer, do you know who that woman is...?" he was silent for a moment looking at me, I shook my head then he looked up again, actually I was shocked to hear the story but quickly I diverted it and he continued his words " that woman is you".
Deg
now I can't cover my surprise anymore, I shut my mouth with both hands, the tears that had stopped now fell back, I can't believe what I'm hearing.
"second, I want to take care of you, I want to protect you from people like your ex-husband, honestly when I found out that he was your husband I was so angry, even I had the pity of being his wife because I got a husband like him, who never appreciated a woman what was his wife again, I really hate people like that, even I had the opportunity to ask, he said, why don't I meet you first why should she".
"third, I want to be a priest to you, to make you a complement to my religion, to make you a mother to the shifa, and to make you a mother to our children later, he said, I'm gonna make you an angel of my world, that's why I'm after you"
my shoulders trembled as I held my cry, instead of being sad but I was moved to hear his confession, even my heart was melted to him, really.
"Give me time, a.I'll try to..open my heart to...for you, give me time..hiks..hiks.." said I, I looked at him, I looked at him, then I was my eyesight the most.
"by... I won't force you, I know that love can't be forced, well I'll wait for you to find the right time" he replied, she gave me that warm smile, I nodded quickly.
"god willing, I'll try it, wait for me" replied me again, the man gently slumped towards me and nodded his head.
Seriate......
