Tough Widow

Uncover feelings

Harini decided to live in Indonesia with her husband and children. Even so, they will still often visit abroad to ensure their business there. 

''You don't work?'' Approaching the seemingly relaxing Ikram in the garden next to the house. 

''No, Ma'am. There is no important job today. The plan is I want to take the children to the road, he said accompanied by a small smile. 

''When did you bring Melati here?''

Harini patted his sister's shoulder. He noticed a difference in the man's face when discussing the woman he had recently been close to. 

''You really love him?'' ask Harini to investigate. 

Ikram drank tea and stared fixedly at Harini.

''Is my old age like this still worthy to marry again, Ma'am? He is young, do you think he would accept me?'' tanya Ikram lack confidence. 

Harini laughed a little. ''Why are you talking like that. A man who is fifty years old still deserves to be married and meet his new life with a woman who is loved, why don't you? Even you are far away still deserve to establish a household with the woman you love. Rest assured to your heart, do not let the wrong move as before, said Harini at length. 

Ikram breathed. Think clearly to immediately decide on the choice. He did not want to be so late in his solitude as he was today. 

''I think I will marry Melati, '' she said after a few seconds. 

Harini smiled, finally she could see the happiness on Ikram's face. Although not completely, at least still have great hopes to be happy. 

Ting tung 

Ikram grabbed his phone that was ringing and opened it. It turned out that it was a message from Melati who asked her to come.

''Who's up? Melati?'' guess Harini's probing. 

''Yes, Ma'am. I go first, '' said Ikram while tidying his hair. 

However, his steps came to a halt when he saw Hanan get off the bike. 

''Where from?'' tanya Ikram received the hand of the son. 

''From home. Where is Papa going?'' ask Hanan back. It was unusual for her father to wear such excessive perfume at this time. 

''Papa want to go to aunt Melati''' replied Ikram honestly. 

''I'm coming.'' Hanan raised his hand. Actually he is still very upset with Ayu's decision, and maybe meeting with Melati can expel the taste. 

''Bby.'' Ikram opened the car door. 

Maybe Hanan can give you an opinion. 

Ikram drove his car at medium speed. Looking towards Hanan who seemed to bend his face. 

''You why? Mama's scolded?'' 

''Sir,'' Hanan replied briefly. 

''Then, what makes a child like this?'' Ikram punched Hanan's arm slowly. 

''There's no papa, Pa. I just sprained, because my mom forbade me to date Chika, replied Hanan lazily. 

Ikram laughed seeing Hanan pouting.

''I think your mom is right. He only wants the best for you and your siblings, so just follow his orders, it's not hard. Papa is sure you can.''

Learning from experience, Ikram will do the best for children. Especially in Hanan who was an adult.

Hanan. Digesting every word papa.

It's time I talked to Hanan.

''How do you think Aunt Melati is?'' tanya Ikram diverted the conversation. 

Hanan. As if I couldn't believe her question. Because, all this time Ikram never questioned about other women except Ayu. 

''Aunt Melati?'' ask Hanan again. 

Ikram nodded without a sound. Deflecting his car towards the housing where Melati lives. 

''I think it's good, Pa. Aunt Melati is also attentive with papa. Same with mama. Dear with my sisters and me, '' Hanan explained. 

His meeting a few times with Melati did bring a good impression. They are quickly familiar and in line. 

''Would you agree if papa married her?'' ask seriously. 

Hanan immediately nodded and raised his thumb a sign of agreement. 

Now my mother is happy with Papa Angga, and I also want my father to be happy with his chosen woman. May Aunt Melati be the best.

The car stopped in front of Melati's house. Again, Ikram combed his hair before coming down. Ensuring a neat appearance when in front of the idol.

Hanan chuckled at his papa who was like Abg.

''It's handsome, Pa. Aunt Melati will definitely accept papa as it is.'' Hanan.

Before knocking on the door, Melati opened it first. 

''Eh, Mas Ikram, there is Hanan as well, '' said Melati gently. 

Hanan raised his eyebrows, staring at Ikram and Melati alternately. 

''Tante, someone wants to talk papa, this is important, '' Hanan whispered. 

''What?'' jasmine asked whispered as well. 

''Later Aunt also knew.'' Hanan whispered back. 

The creeping is just a whirl with their attitude. 

Melati invited them in and sat in the living room. Make two cups of coffee with different flavor variants. If Hanan likes mixed milk, Ikram likes a rather bitter one. Little by little they begin to know their preferences.

''Hanan Mas said. What is it talking about?'' Melati sits in front of a clumsy-looking Ikram. 

Where did this start. 

Although he was too old, Ikram still seemed confused to express his heart at this time, even his tongue was too faint to express his feelings.  

''Come, Pa. Say now!'' Hanan nudged Ikram's elbow which made the master even more nervous. 

''Would you marry me?'' ask me straightforwardly. 

Melati was not surprised, because several times they did discuss about marriage. It's just that it's too fast for him. 

Melati smile. There is still a lot to think about before making a decision. Because he married not for happiness but also for the sake of his mother. 

''Did I talk about this with Harini?'' tanya Melati. 

He didn't want to go any further until his family agreed. 

''Already,'' replied a short Pledge. 

Melati turned to look at Hanan. 

''What about Hanan? Do you agree papa is married to aunty?'' jasmine asked Hanan, who was smiling. 

''I totally agree, Auntie. And I was the first one who would bless the relationship of Aunt and Papa, he replied convincingly.

Actually there is no reason to disagree, but he has a condition on the man who wants to propose it.

''I will give you the answer tomorrow, and whatever it is, I hope Ikram will accept.''

Ikram nodded without a sound. Appreciate the decision of Melati who did not directly accept it. Marriage is not a rush and must be ready to be born before doing it. 

''But I hope the answer is Aunty agrees, '' Hanan stressed. 

Ikram and Melati laugh at each other with the funny behavior of the son. 

''God willing, but aunt does not promise either. It's a matter of feeling and not being forced, not a toy.

That's true, but I'll keep praying you're my last mate.
