Three Years Different

Section 25 (1)

"Nurse ... Umma's own son."

The lut-fan? mardiyah's mind seemed to not believe the words that came out of the mouth of Umm Sarah. The man called by him .. Did he not hear wrong? His adopted brothers whom he chose?

"Yes ... Lutfan, Son."

The words repeated again. Do you really not know what to react to? His body suddenly stiffened, his mouth unable to say.

"You quiet, son?" Umma Sarah touched her right hand. "You don't like ... the same man Umma chose?"

"Su-ka," said Mardiyah lirih.

As he looked up, looking straight at Umma Sarah, he seemed to be smiling faintly. "Actually Mardiyah ..."

"What, Umma?"

Behind the thin smile was tucked deep sadness that Mardiyah could read from the look in her eyes. "Your marriage, Abi has remained before he died. You know what, kid? Since the day that Umma found you."

Mardiyah.

"At that time ... Umma doesn't have Lutfan." Umma Sarah looked down at the two hands clasping each other. "Maybe it's not enough sustenance. But your presence at that time .. give happiness in the life of Umma and Abimu, son."

"Your mother also .. maybe she thought that Umma already had a child. Not at all ..." The rubbing on his hands was soft. "Two years passed, and in the middle of the month Umma became pregnant ... Yes, Umma is pregnant with Lutfan, after five years of waiting."

"Happy Umma Mardiyah ..." A faint smile was engraved on the lips of Umm Sarah. "Just at that time the age of Umma's womb has entered the seventh month, no idea where your Abimu suddenly said, if Lutfan was born later, never give Mardiyah ASIMu."

Wh-what does he mean? inner Mardiyah by addressing Umm Sarah who now has shed tears.

"Umma I don't think Abi loves you. Turns ... Abi love you, son." Umma Sarah paused. "At your age you are seventeen ... Abi and Umma talk. He said, make Mardiyah as Lutfan's wife later."

Umma Sarah shook her head slowly with tears that continued to flow. "Umma doesn't know what his way of thinking is, son. But when I heard that ... Umma knows. The reason that Abimu forbade Umma to give ASI is this .. so that you and Lutfan can get married."

So ... did Lutfan and I get married? Not to be a brother? inner Mardiyah by looking at the eye bead Umm Sarah.

"Why, are you silent Mardiyah?"

Mardiyah.

"A-abi .." he said when he remembered Abi Aziz who turned out he loved him very much. "W-did Abi really say that, Umma?"

Umma Sarah nodded.

"Lutfan knows?"

Umma Sarah nodded once more. "Before Umma told you ... Lutfan said, Umma can't force you, son."

"That's, Umma?"

Pause three seconds Umma Sarah said, "You .. You can reject Nak, if this marriage is very forcing you."

I ... can you refuse? Mardiyah shook her head slowly, her hand turned to hold the hand of Umma Sarah. "U-umma ... Mardiyah. Mardiyah never felt that this was forced. Didn't Mardiyah ask Umma to find a husband? So ... if Umma's choice is Lutfan. Mardiyah is getting married to Lutfan."

"Do you really not feel compelled, son?"

Mardiyah.

Although the relationship he had with Lutfan at this time did not really look good. Mardiyah will never deny the wishes of Abi Aziz and Umma Sarah. The old man who lived it all this time. Mardiyah also never felt above Lutfan, although in fact she could have scolded Lutfan like when she was a child. But Lutfan is still the biological child of parents.

Think of this as his revenge for devoting his life to being a companion of Lutfan.

Yes, that man is Lutfan.

Its alright.

"Mar ..."

Mardiyah nodded. "Yes, Umma. Mardiyah would."

Mardiyah's three-second pause said, "So ... Mardiyah and Lutfan's wedding will last a few more months, Umma?"

Umma Sarah nodded.

"Umma will tell Lutfan immediately. He must be nagging, son. Can be close again, the same brother," he said.

The sister? The brother who will soon be his wife, Umma ...
