When Talak Has Spoken

Chapter 71 Mayang Proposal

Ajeng was surprised to see his former in-laws casually accompany Lala to play in the living room when he had just arrived from one of his business units in the outskirts of Malang. He did not expect to be visited by Lala on this very sunny Saturday.

“Assalamu’alaikum mom, mbak Mayang.”  Ajeng immediately greeted his father-in-law and Mayang who was still busy sitting with Lala in the living room of his home.

“Wah, the more developed your business,” Mayang looked at him with a fluffy smile.

Nurita hugged her ex-daughter-in-law affectionately. He saw his grandson getting beautiful and healthy even though he was far from his father.

“Alhamdulillah thanks to the support of mama and mbak Mayang,” Ajeng replied down.

Now they sit together on the sofa letting Lala who is still engrossed with her ‘barbie’ world. Dimas who had just come from the campus approached them and greeted Nurita and Mayang before going up to his room.

“How's it going after being a student?” Mayang looked at Dimas who was still standing before them.

“More capenya Mbak ... “ Dimas replied frankly. “Excuse ...”

The three nodded their heads in unison. Dimas continued his steps upstairs. Not too long to disturb those who seem to be talking about something important.

“Old time not playing here,” Mayang looked around and saw not much changed, except the shophouses that had been empty had been filled a lot, “Your house did not change much. Do you want to be enlarged?”

Ajeng tersenyu thin, “Gak Mbak. It's comfortable too, calm for sure..”.

Nurita nodded her head in approval to Ajeng's words, “Mama also felt coolness when entering here. The atmosphere is comfortable.”

“Thank you Ma. Me, Lala and Dimas are calm with the atmosphere here.”

“You don't want to marry again?” Nurita looked at her former ex closely, “Find your happiness. Mama will not be calm if you are still alone until now ..”.

“I'm comfortable myself Ma. Want to focus on raising Lala and delivering Dimas to achieve his goals,” Ajeng replied with certainty.

“Mama was also disappointed to learn about the breakdown of your relationship and Hilman,” Nurita said with a sad look.

“Maybe it is not my soul mate Ma,” Ajeng smiled lightly without burden.

A trace of tightness was present pervading Nurita's mind. For him Ajeng is not a former ghost, but his own daughter. That's why he always visited and asked Ajeng and Lala to regularly stay every weekend, even though sometimes only twice in one month.

“Mama always wishes you all the best, Lala and Dimas. You are a family of mama until whenever,” shrewd Nurita while wiping away the tears that uncompromisingly dripped on her cheeks that taper increasingly in eating age.

“Lho really so melo anyway,” Mayang interrupted to see his mother who looks sad while wiping her tears that are still dripping, “Padahat we come to want happy news for Ajeng.”

“Wah, what's up tho Mbak?”  Curious to hear Mayang's words.

He saw the face of his former brother-in-law seemed radiant so that his beauty was emanated perfectly. No more sadness on her face that ever hurt because of her husband left married.

“Mbakmu has found his soul mate again,” Nurita said while turning her gaze to Mayang who nodded her mother's words.

“Alhamdulillah, thank God Mbak can rise from the slump,” said Ajeng sincerely.

He was also happy for the news brought by Nurita and Mayang. For him, Nurita and Mayang remain families that he must respect at any time. Moreover, Nurita who continues to shower her daughter with a lot of pocket money every month.

Until now he also knew that Bisma still routinely transfer the needs of their only daughter who is getting bigger and starting to enter school age. He and his small family do not lack material, even continue to increase with the progress of the effort he wrestled.

“Next week stay at home, invite Dimas. Mama wants us to get together. Ardi Mayang's college friend, wants to propose to her .... “ Nurita immediately told the intention of their arrival to Ajeng place.

“Wah, this is really something really incredible. Congratulations Mbak .... “ Ajeng smiled and hugged Mayang also feel the happiness that is now depicted on the face of his former brother-in-law.

“Thank you Jeng. Mbak also hopes you soon find the best companion,” Mayang pat Ajeng's shoulder sincerely and pray for the best for the former brother-in-law who he already considered his own sister.

“While let it be like this Ma'am. I am happy mama and mbak Mayang always pay more attention to our family,” Ajeng said in a low voice.

He did not want to disappoint people who were so considerate and affectionate to him like Nurita and Mayang. Apart from Bhishma which is already far from its reach.

“Badahat mama always pray one day you and Bhishma mate again..” Nurita stopped her speech while sighing for a moment.

At that time Bisma was vc-an with her mother and Lala. Mayang's voice commenting on the woman sitting beside Bhishma made her stop her steps to approach the three who were relaxing on the porch beside the house enjoying the beauty and fragrance of the blooming Rose.

There was not the slightest bit of sadness that Ajeng felt. He is happy if finally Bhishma has found a suitable partner for him. He no longer thinks of a companion.

Twice the close experience with the people of Adam that ended, made him think again to start. And he was not bothered with anyone who tried to get closer and match him with the man who put his heart on him.

“Gak pa-pa Ma's. Everything is the way. I also pray for his father Lala, hopefully find the right companion,” Ajeng grabbed Nurita's hand and grasped it tightly.

“Do you not want to refer to that stone head?” Mayang casually asked a question that made Nurita pinch her arm for calling her brother who was notoriously stubborn.

Ajeng smiled as he shook his head, “I'm happy for Lala's father and Mayang's father, Ma. I have given all that I have lived. My desire is only one, may my mother always be healthy to see Lala reach her goals and get happiness in her life.”

“Ya Allah nduk .. “ Nurita's tears come back to drip hearing Ajeng's simple plea, “ .. may Allah give you good.”

“Aamiin .... “ Mayang also guaranteed the prayer of his mother who now embraced Ajeng with feelings of sadness, “Mbak hope you get the best mate, if one day you want to start again.”

“Thank you mbak,” Ajeng replied while smiling to answer Mayang's words.

“Bisma will not come, because his studies are almost finished.” Nurita continued her remark back, “But she will be home at Mayang's wedding, which is estimated to be only three months from now.”

Ajeng is just a mangosteen listening to the words of Nurita. There is no desire to respond to it. He knew, Nurita only said that Bisma this time was absent from the proposal of her brother

Nurita's residence has been decorated in such a way because of the arrival of Ardi and his extended family who will come to propose Mayang.

The Mayang family will be represented by Susilo Darmanto, Nurita's only brother who works as a Lecturer at one of the famous campuses in Surabaya.

Since the afternoon he and his wife Ranti Utami and his twin daughters Ghea and Gina who are now V semester students in Yogyakarta have fulfilled Nurita's invitation.

Susilo's family was quite close to Ajeng. They also regretted the separation that occurred between him and Bhishma. But want how else, anyone can not set up and compromise with ‘hati’.

“De Ajeng when did it start, it's been a long time also ‘jomblo’?” seloroh Endah when Ajeng came to bring drinks during the afternoon they were chatting waiting for nightfall.

“Not to think again aunt,” replied Ajeng friendly.

“Honey we don't have children. I don't want to find another ghost. Teach the best candidate to be a ghost,” Susilo connect the words of the wife.

“Tante knows Fajar or Jeng?” ask Randy suddenly.

Ajeng looked at Nurita who was now also looking at her seriously. There was tension in the face of the former in-laws whom he considered his own mother.

“Let Ajeng choose for themselves. I was worried that the man who approached her could not accept my grandson's whereabouts,” Nurita immediately issued her opinion hearing Ranti's wishes of her sister-in-law.

“Please aja mbakyu. Dawn is my mark. How could he behave like that. His man is well established. He also works the same lecturer with mas Susilo,” Ranti said excitedly, “The age is the same as Mayang he is still single.”

“True mah,” Ghea chimed in his mother's words, “Om Dawn was good, not stingy anymore. If you meet like jajanin me and Gina ..”

“Mbak Ajeng would have liked to have met Fajar,” Gina also interrupted her twin words.

The atmosphere became lively to hear the words of one family who supported each other and tried to match Ajeng with the pounding of Ranti who was also looking for a companion to life, as well, making Ajeng could not help but smile at the ridiculous behavior of the twins who were so excited that he would accept it.

The application event runs full of service in a family atmosphere that is so felt. Susilo represented the women to welcome the proposal of Ardi Subrata, a childless widower and tea plantation entrepreneur in the city of Bogor.

A little Ajeng knows the closeness of the two starting with Mayang who replaced the position of Bhishma in the management of tea factories in Bogor, making them meet and interact for tea processing cooperation.

“Alhamdulillah, may Allah be merciful and give smoothness to the agreement that God willing implemented in the next four months... “ Susilo closes the conversation with the best prayer for his ponakan Mayang who that night appeared graceful with modern kebaya.

Ajeng was happy with Mayang's proposal. He knew, divorce Mayang and himself had become a burden for his former in-laws. How not at the age that is no longer young, he must bear the sadness of the failure of the household of his two children. Although it is undeniable, all is indeed divine destiny.

Now he saw that withered face begin to shine again. And Ajeng always prayed for goodness so that Nurita would always be given health until she returned to the divine lap by bringing true happiness.

*Support continued authoritative yes. Moga khilaf and up again until the story of Ajeng finished in time with all the happiness he got for his patience living the destiny of life. Dear to all who read Ajeng problems find his true love ...*
