Turning Hell into Heaven

47. Bloodied

"As for the reference, I never really thought about that Ummi. If you have to throw something, why take it back! I'm sorry, but that's the guideline I put in some things in this life, especially regarding a sacred bond. And besides Ummi, I've been proposed by another man" Dara said with some emphasis on choice.

Last time, hearing the description of Dara, the sentiment of relief along with broken charcoal, cried out in the emotions of Ummi Rita, Melsya and Sukma.

They are relieved, Dara got a proposal from someone else who if certainly entered the category as the husband of choice because if not, how could Dara straightforwardly reveal the matter to her former in-laws and former in-laws.

Broken charcoal in other words disappointed that they also experienced due to the extinction of hope to return to have a relationship as a family member with Dara. Try to accept the desire to refer back, just imagine it turns out Dara never. For this reason, even though Ummi Rita and her daughters have prepared hearts, know places and are self-conscious, still the bitterness of rejection is subtly like skin affected by pinches, pain.

"Ummi, istighfar first. Just now ignorance due to less custom than us makes us almost fall into sin, Astaghfirullah pah adzim." Strictly Melsya, the youngest son of Ummi Rita.

"Why?" ask Ummi Rita.

"Sorry Ummi, I did not mean to patronize Ummi but, according to Ustad at the place where I was doing my studies, I had heard the Ustad say that in the book of Al-Khatam treatise, Ahmad Zarkasih said, that a man should not propose to a woman who has been proposed by another man. According to him, in addition to being prohibited by religion, the act is also unethical and can cause unfair competition" said Melsya.

"In addition, explicitly our Prophet, Muhammad SAW also forbid it in his words that sound like this, from Ibn Umar radhiyallahuanhu that the Prophet said, 'SAW said, let not a man preach to a woman who has been slaughtered by his brother, unless the brother has abandoned him or given him permission, and this is the shahih hadith of Bukhari" Melsya continued.

Ummi Rita and Sukma immediately beristighfar.

"Oh how is this? sorry Nak Dara, should be before conveying the intention of asking Nak Dara to return to be Lukman's wife, Ummi asked first about Nak Dara's current status. Ummi had no bad intentions, son," Ummi Rita seemed to feel guilty and wrong.

"Ummi, don't be troubled again. Dara knew and believed there was no ill intent from Ummi. It's just a matter of our communication that's not right" Dara chimed in.

"Yes son, thank you for understanding Ummi's negligence. May Allah forgive Ummi's ignorance,"

The hope of Ummi Rita was soon in Aamiin right by Dara, Melsya and Sukma.

"Congratulations Dara, you've been proposed. Have you answered that proposal?" ask Sukma.

"No, my brother, I am still in a period of thought, I will answer according to the deadline that we have agreed and after I am completely sure of my choice later,"

Dara answered calmly.

"Whatever the answer is, hopefully it will be good news for both sides yes Brother," continued Melsya anyway.

"Ummi was also happy to hear that. As smart, as great and as powerful as we as a woman in undergoing a dual role as parents, not as good as living a household with a complete role with a companion. Moreover, Nak Dara is still young, re-establishing family relationships insyaAllah more benefits," said Ummi Rita sincerely.

The conversation between them continued with a warm conversation about the concept of a good and right marriage. Melsya, who was active in some of the brief assemblies, humbly without judgmental effects, presented what He had heard and obtained from the routine study He did.

That the point, just like the presence of a child, a marriage in addition to bringing happiness can also be a test. All depends on the pattern of each person in accepting and dealing with it, whether to consider it as a trial or the favor of God.

Ummi Rita and her children left Dara's house after they had a conversation with Azkia and Alsava after the two girls returned from school.

Accompanying the departure of her children's direct relatives, Dara slipped a piece of gratitude in her mind. Grateful because although no longer in the shade of a family relationship, communication Dara and former in-laws also former brother-in-law who had once deteriorated is now back to improve and warm. How the owner of the worldly nature and the ukhrawi are heart-turning.

...***...

Kringh.

Hearing the incoming call, Dara who was sitting opposite Bayu gave a code for permission to receive the phone call. Bayu nodded and then paled.

"Yes? there aren't. I see, yes already pardon it" Dara heard saying a few sentences from across there.

The phone call was closed, shortly after, with a knock from the door of Dara's study.

"Come in," Dara responded to the knock.

Naylah, Dara's secretary entered with a woman with a model, typical artist face, beautiful and well-groomed.

After escorting Jesika into Dara's workroom, Naylah nodded reverently to her boss and then left the room, returning to her own desk out there.

"President Commissioner, should I also take part first?"

Bayu felt bad to be in Dara's room while the owner of the company was having guests.

Jesika looked at Bayu.

"no need. I just need to say a few things with your boss," cynical Jesika.

Realizing that Dara's guests were unfriendly and even seemed to carry an aura of hostility, making Bayu urung leave Dara's work room.

"Sit down first" Dara said.

"No need! Dara, I'm here to remind you not to involve and stay away from Angga in your unfinished household matters!" exclamation Jesika.

Dara flinched in her seat. He was confused not to understand the purpose of Jesika's conversation.

"Don't put on a look like you don't know!" jesika's voice intonation slightly increased.

Dara was still unmoved, her face was like that which showed incomprehension to the sentence that Jesika said.

Finding his interlocutors consistently expressing such, Jesika so no doubt that Dara did not know anything about the latest news from Doctor Angga.

"So you really don't know" murmured Jesika.

Jesika then pulled out her phone. After some time struggling with the flat screen full of sophistication, Jesika thrust her phone to Dara.

"Look!" tukas Jesika's.

Dara receives Jesika's mobile phone and then starts observing the gallery application that Jesika is currently doing for her.

"A .. What is this? Jesika, I really don't know about this, please explain to me what exactly is this?"

After seeing the displayed from the gallery application on Jesika's phone, Dara who was immediately ambushed by worry and confusion, demanded an explanation from Jesika.

Jesika, who was originally standing, walked slowly to the sofa reserved for guests, across from Dara's desk. Jesika sat in a row with Dara who also sat on the guest sofa leaving her work chair.

"A few days ago, I visited Angga at his clinic. At that moment I accidentally heard Angga like he was fighting with a man. They're arguing about you,"

Jesika who began to give an explanation then showed an annoyed face but continued her sentence again,

"They, insisting on being your life companion. From their debate I can finally draw the conclusion that Angga's interlocutor at that time was your ex-husband, Lukman."

Deg.

Dara's chest rumbled. There is indeed something between Mas Lukman and Doctor Angga, he thought.

Jesika looked at Dara seriously and finished her statement again,

"During a prolonged argument, I heard Angga ask your ex-husband to leave his room. But not long after that I heard like there was a noise from inside the room. Worried, I went straight into Angga's room and found Angga lying with blood on the floor."
