"Nick, Mom hope you're honest with how you feel. Mom knows there's still Aurel in your heart, but don't you realize that what you feel for Kanaya is a form of love?"
Oma Marisa's words just kept turning around in Nick's head.
Nick is not sure if it is love, or just an attraction after a long time his heart is empty and lonely prolonged.
So this is where, in front of the Aurel pusara, Nick came to bring his late wife's favorite flower.
"Darling, how are you?" Nick sat on the edge of Aurel's grave wiping a gravestone bearing the name of the woman who was still faithful enthroned in Nick's heart.
"Darling, sorry I just came to visit you." Nick's hand while picking up the dry leaves that fell on top of the Aurel's navel.
"Honey, Caca's getting bigger. He's a prankster like you. Every day there are words that make me remember the figure of you more. Caca looks so much like you, baby."
"Darling, mom said I was in love? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to replace you in my heart. Until now in my heart and mind only your name is engraved. I don't know, I'm confused by my back feelings. You know, sometimes you understand me better, baby."
Nick spoke for a long time in front of the late Aurel.
Until the afternoon he just returned, after being satisfied to tell all the worries and turmoil of his heart.
Wrestling for a moment to breathe, enjoying the leisure time that he rarely got.
Yes, the Big Boss often comes home sooner, no matter what the owner of NBC does later.
If Nick usually always asks Gusti ready 24 hours, it has been a week finished office hours the Boss is out of the office and does not want to be accompanied.
Let it be the privacy of Big Boss, after all Gusti is an employee not entitled to interfere with the privacy of Nick who incidentally is the Boss.
"Hi Bro, long time no see." Gusti's friend the bar owner.
Gusti only smiled at a glance then took another sip of the wine he held.
"Corporate slaves can be relaxed as well. Usually you don't even have time to sleep well!"
"Whisper you! It's there! Just interrupt!"
"OKs. Fine. If you need company I have good stock!"
Without answering Gusti threw a small pillow towards his friend who really likes to be nosy.
"Eits, Calm Bro! Just kidding's. Relax Bro! I stay first. Remember don't mabok, I don't want to bother taking care of Lo!"
"Have you come out! I have Lo!"
Gusti who was staring guts out Bar saw someone he knew.
"They? Isn't that?"
Gusti's forehead creased, not believing what he saw.
Dira opened his eyes.
Dira felt his head dizzy.
Staring around consciously, reading the situation where he is currently.
His feet and hands were tied.
In a room, Dira doesn't know how to get here.
Trying to get up close to the door despite the difficult steps with legs and hands tied, Dira shouted for someone to open the door.
Tired Dira screamed until he sat down on the floor trying to release his legs and hands but to no avail.
The door finally opened.
Dira looked at the hate with the figure that was now in front of him.
"You want what you!" Dira looked up at him, his eyes filled with hatred.
Ustadz Salman sat down with his father at their residence pendopo after the two had just finished attending one of the largest religious organizations in the country.
"Salman sit. I want to talk."
Kiai Abdullah patted the empty spot on his side asking Salman to sit down.
"Well ask, is she really the same woman who was reported with you a few months ago?"
"I mean Abah?"
"Women who a few days ago appeared as a host with you on the tausyiah program that you brought. Is it true that woman is the same as the woman who was reported to you, son?"
"He was right Abah. What's up?"
"You like it, son?"
"No Abah, he's just my partner."
"Eba knew what Abah's son was like. Salman, Abah knows your heart is still thinking about the whereabouts of Khalisa, your brother. You've been looking for her all this time, haven't you? Abah's glad you're so worried and trying to figure out the whereabouts of your sister Khalisa. But you deserve to be happy too, son. Think about your future. I think it's time for you to find a companion."
"Salman just wants to look to the limits of Salman Bah's ability. Salman believes Khalisa is still alive and is somewhere out of nowhere. Salman felt guilty. If in the past Salman did not neglect to look after Khalisa, of course Khalisa will not be taken away from ODGJ and Khalisa is currently with us."
Salman recalled his childhood who was guarding the younger brother but he accidentally left for a moment because he wanted to ketoilet but when he returned the younger brother was lost somewhere. And when traced Salman's sister seen from CCTV was brought by an OGGJ patient who separated from the RSJ. But unfortunately ODGJ was not long dead until it could not be found trace of Khalisa's existence until now.
"Son, don't you ever blame yourself. All that happens is the destiny of Allah SWT. We've been trying all this time to find Khalisa. Maybe it's time we took it. It is not in the sense that Abah does not love Abah's daughter, but Abah is only afraid of our curiosity and search not only because of our longing for Khalisa but our hearts that cannot accept what God has outlined. Abah believes that if Khalisa is still destined to regroup with us, then God will give us a way to meet and regroup with your brother."
Although heavy Salman received Kyai Abdullah's remarks.
"When are you going to introduce Abah to that woman?"
"Well, Kanaya's just a co-worker. Salman is embarrassed that Abah thinks he has a relationship with Salman. After all, if Abah knew the status of Kanaya, would Abah still want to continue Abah's intentions?"
"What's with the status of that woman named Kanaya?"
"He's a widow Bah. Kanaya has been divorced from her husband for 8 years. The reason for her divorce was because Kanaya never had children until her ex-husband cheated on her."
"Astagfirullah. What a cruel man like that. How unfortunate his fate is. Abah felt more sympathy with him. Take him to see Abah. Abah did not dispute his status. As long as she is a sholeh woman, and loves Abah's son, Abah will accept her as Abah's son-in-law."
"That's it, it's just the daughter-in-law that's being talked about. I'm right to have no special relationship other than Bah's co-worker. Don't embarrass me Bah!"
"If you don't like him, why should Salman be ashamed. You, Abah knows how you are. Yeah, well, Abah saw him yesterday as an MC on your show. How did you invite him as the MC for the event in our pesantren haul. You filled out the tausyiah and he became the host."
"alright. But Salman doesn't promise, because Kanaya certainly has to adjust to his schedule on NBC."
"That's Sunday Salman. Isn't it a holiday?"
"But Bah,"
"Have, ask first, if he is willing to thank God, otherwise pray with God so that he will."
"So here, there's just something, that's the meaning of his name."
Kyai Abdullah smiled at the reaction of his son who he felt was always embarrassed when dealing with women.
Oma Marisa is currently taking Caca to play in a playground.
Oma Marisa deliberately invites Caca to be able to talk and know the contents of the heart of her beloved grandchild.
"So according to Caca, what if Oma wants to match Daddy with Aunt Naya? Does Caca agree?"
"Caca is so happy, Oma. Aunt Naya is good. It could be Caca's friend, Caca's teacher, and Caca's mother. But, does Daddy like Aunt Naya? Daddy's really fierce Oma with Aunt Naya! Caca was upset with Daddy always being mad at Aunt Naya!"
"On that let Oma think. What matters is that Caca agrees first. OK?"
"Ok Oma! Keep on helping Caca what?"
"Here Oma whispers."
"Do you understand what to do, honey?"
"But if Aunt Naya becomes fond of Om Ustadz how? even more scared and away from Daddy how?"
"No way, Oma knows better how your Daddy is. Daddy is Oma's son. Anyway Caca just follow what Oma said just now. Ok?"
"OK Oma!"
"Goodle. Oma's granddaughter is the best!"
Marisa's smile now she is more confident and steady in carrying out her mission.
