The Widow's Choice

Refusing

"Sorry Mom', I can't."

Everyone looked towards Nurul. Even Rahman who had been busy with his cell phone turned his head.

"Defuse? She rejects me? Did I not hear wrong? Perfect gini, what is less tried?" Rahman Mumbled.

"Mother' is not asking for your answer right now*N*duk. Think about it carefully." Indira said slowly.

"Sum up first*N*duk!" Ms. Indira tried to calm Nurul down.

"But why did you say that Nduk?"

Nurul who was sitting between the mother and the child was still nervous. Rahman silently looked at Nurul's nervousness.

"Why did Mom' choose me?" Ask Nurul after drinking the tea that has been served.

"Contact *N*duk. Since the first time we met at your workplace back then, I was instantly attracted to you. And I don't know what makes me so sure, you're a good woman and deserve to be Rahman's wife." Bu Indira rubbed Nurul's right shoulder.

"But Ma'am, what's good of me? Even Bu Dira must have read my complete biodata, right?"

"It."

"What's good about a widow ma'am'? I have failed in my household. Even I asked to be divorced by my ex-husband, but he has changed for the better." Nurul was silent.

" I'm not beautiful ma'am, not what I look like from the outside. I don't have much of the world or the hereafter. I don't know much about religion and world science. I am not good at teaching. I am not good at taking care of the household. I am even just a High School graduate, not comparable to Rahman who graduated S2. And I'm sorry, ma'am, my family and Ms. Dira's family are so different. My family is just an ordinary family, very different from the family of Bu Dira who is a successful entrepreneur."

"Sorry Mom', Mas Rahman deserves the best woman he can be and deserves to be with him. And it's not me Miss Dira." Answer Nurul.

Bu Indira looked at Nurul's bead carefully. Looking for a lie and regret in his eyes, but he did not find.

"I'm not wrong *N*duk choose you." Said Bu Indira who immediately hugged Nurul tightly.

"Iya Bu', Mbak Nurul deserves to be Mas Rahman's wife." Nurul's eyes patterned perfectly in Bu Indira's arms when he heard the words of Fatimah and Bu Indira.

"Why are you guys talking like that?" Nurul asked as Bu Indira had let go of her embrace.

"You are great my future wife." The corner of Rahman's lips slightly raised to hear Nurul's words.

"Yes Mbak, you are different Mbak same women who ever decetin Mas Rahman. Even the ex-wife of Mas Rahman is much different from Mbak Nurul." Ali answered Nurul's question.

"All the women who deletin Mas Rahman, will always say what their advantages are. Proud of himself and his family. They forget their shortcomings, cover them up so tightly. Until Mas Rahman himself who had to find out for himself for it. But Mbak Nurul, even without hesitation revealed the shortcomings of Mbak Nurul himself. Nurul's mom is really, really great."

"Allahu Akbar, why is it a gini?" Nurul suddenly limp to hear Ali's words.

"I don't look at your treasure *Nduk. I don't look at your education, your physique or anything you mentioned. What I see, your heart is kind Nduk*. That's enough." Bu Indira replied adding to Ali while holding both hands of Nurul.

"Oh yes, the science can still be sought. Later after marriage, you can ask to be taught with Mas Rahman. Rahman has a lot of things. Njai also pinter. Yes no mas, so the farm reward is not Mas??" Timpal Fatimah who also wanted to tease Rahman who was busy with his cellphone.

"*I*ya deck," replied Rahman inwardly.

Fatimah was only responded with a nod of her head, without taking her gaze away from the flat object before her.

"Ih as Rahman really cuek anyway, pity Mbak Nurul his mas." Fatimah Sudang.

"This marriage is not Mas Rahman who will undergo, does Mas Rahman also accept it Bu'?" Ask Nurul again.

"Rahman cannot refuse*N*duk, inevitably, he must accept it. It's been a consequence of his promise he made to Mom'." Ms. Indira glanced at Rahman a little.

"Mother's been waiting 5 years, he said he wanted to find his own future wife, even Mother's love him compensation 2 months. But there was nothing she knew about Mom'. As a consequence, she had to accept Mother's choice'. AND CAN'T REFUSE." Ms. Indira emphasized her last sentence.

"But it was Mas Rahman who,,," Nurul had not finished saying his sentence, Bu Indira stopped him.

"Man!" Call Bu Indira to the son.

"You want to marry Nurul? If you refuse, it means you break your promise and become a child of disobedience with your mother'."

"Eh," Nurul was surprised at what Bu Indira said. He did not know what to say or do to calm Ms. Indira.

Rahman, who felt his name was called, turned.

"Yes ma'am, Rahman accepts." Rahman answered briefly with his flat face. And managed to make Nurul feel guilty to Rahman.

"You think about Nduk first. Mother's love your time one,,,"

"Eh, one month is too long*N*duk."

"No, ma'am, if it's too long." Nurul Sanggah.

"NO. Just a week. One weeks. I'll ask you for your answer in one week."

"But ma'am, it's too soon. One month Ma'am, please give Nurul a month to Istikharoh!" Nurul Rengek.

"No My darling. If indeed you will receive this proposal, within a month, you have officially become Rahman's wife."

"Allahu Akbar" Nurul was very surprised to hear the interlocutor's words.

"Yes*N*duk. So Mom's plan is like this, Mom' will give you a week to think. If you accept it, one week later the mother's family will propose you to Jogja. And two weeks later, you're getting married in London. After that you will move here."

"Astaghfirullahal'adzim." Nurul gently rubbed his face and let out his breath slowly.

"Hhahaha, Mbak Nurul's face is funny." Suddenly Fatimah's laughter distracted everyone. Nurul finally laughed at Fatimah. The shock began to subside. Everyone laughs. (you don't laugh at yourself yes readers, other taxes if you laugh 😁😁🤭🤭 )

The atmosphere was slightly melting, interspersed with the noise of the three little children running around inside the house.

"Al, don't run around in the house!" Nurul shouted a little.

His name was called and then stopped his legs, and chose to change the game.

"They can be familiar immediately." Nurul's heart said as he looked at his son.

"Al, who's Ma'am?" Ask Fatimah.

"Prince. I used to call him Al from a long time ago. He if the acquaintance with a new person must be named Fatih. But if the family or who's been close to him, he'd rather be called Al."

"Whose name is Ma'am? Ma'am, you know," Fatimah took the biodata paper on the table.

"Maulana Al Fatih" answered Nurul briefly.

"Plancess!! From that time Nurul's mother never called Fatih's name." Fatimah nodded her head.

"Mbak, has no one proposed to Mbak Nurul so far, or just PDKT to become Nurul's wife?" Ask Fatimah.

All eyes were on Nurul and waiting for his answer. Rahman was not left behind.

"There was. But no one has managed to conquer Al." Nurul answered honestly.

"Because to me, she's everything to me. If he's not happy, I won't be happy either." After hearing the words of Nurul, Bu Indira, Fatimah and Ali then turned to Rahman.

"I know your weakness." Rahman who felt coded then understood from the gaze of the three people.

"Nurul, may I have a word with Fatih?" Rahman's Permit.

"Oh, yes, my. Please!" nurul replied with a smile.

Rahman then stood up and approached Al who was busy playing lego with Riko and Rindi in a small gazebo behind the house.

"Why did I unload my US card. Huhhh!! Uh, not that Mr. Harto said Rahman wanted to get married. Astaghfirullah, why did I just realize?"

"Sir, there's something I want to tell you about Rahman. But not listed in the biodata earlier." nu Indira was silent for a moment.

"Nobody is perfect in this world *Nduk, neither is Rahman. Rahman has Nduk* disease*. He used to undergo treatment to recover from his illness, but because of something, he finally stopped. And he never again wants to check his condition, whether it has improved or even healed or not."

"Mas Rahman is sick, ma'am'?"

"Azoospermic. He is difficult and may not even be able to have children*N*duk because of this disease." Bu Indira replied sadly. His eyes began to glaze over as he recalled the illness his son had suffered.

"Every disease has a cure. And nothing is impossible, ma'am, if God wills." Nurul said trying to strengthen Indira's mother.

"Nurul also has flaws that Nurul has not told about. Although it has not relapsed for long enough, but Nurul himself does not know whether it has been cured or not. Because Nurul himself never checked Nurul's condition."

"Why are you*N*duk? What severe?" Madam began to panic.

"Nuruls have trouble controlling emotions and can hurt others and themselves." Nurul answered honestly.
