"Son Iqbal and Miss Maryam. Thank you for coming to our house!" imron is friendly.
"I'm also very happy to be able to visit your home, Habib. It's something I've been waiting for a long time. I would love to see my granddaughter get married!" maryam's grandmother enthusiastically said.
"Goddess, Mom. Hopefully that will be done soon. That is also our hope for Iqbal and Syifa" Rosa responded.
"I mean, my granddaughter's proposal was accepted, Son Rosa?" maryam's grandmother asked to catch what Syifa's mother said.
"Yes, Mom. Our family's son Iqbal has agreed to receive the sermon from son Iqbal ..," said Abi Imron, smiling.
Iqbal momentarily glued to hear his proposal being accepted. I don't know why he was suddenly unable to speak.
Syifa glanced for a moment at Iqbal to make sure her expression heard that. But in Syifa's eyes, Iqbal did not show any expression. That made Syifa wonder. Did Iqbal really sincerely want to marry her?
"Alhamdulillah!" squeak grandma Maryam. He was so happy to hear that.
"Alright because we have agreed to go to a more serious level and not berta'aruf anymore, I think it would be nice if the good intentions of son Iqbal to our daughter immediately determined the implementation. It aims to avoid the occurrence of things that are not desirable" said Imron firmly. He doesn't want anything bad to happen again or anything like that.
"good. I will immediately take care of everything for the implementation of the contract and the wedding party. Please specify the date and day. Or there is a special request that I have to fulfill, let's discuss from now on!" said Iqbal steady with passion.
Imron and Rosa looked at each other with happy smiles. They didn't expect Iqbal to show his seriousness.
"Assalamu'alaikum!"
A voice sounded from the front door. All turned to look towards the source of the voice.
"Wa'alaikumussalam!" answer everyone.
How shocked Syifa was to see who had come to visit. He was stunned to see a figure who was standing upright without any tools.
Imron and Rosa were also surprised to see him. They had not expected Arjuna to return after disappearing without news for so many years. And now comes the wrong time.
"Sir Juna!" syifa lirih. Her tears were instantly fertilized in her net fertilizers seemed unable to be dammed.
"I'm sorry for my stupidity coming at an inopportune time. I accidentally listened to your conversation. If allowed I would like to ask permission to speak to Syifa for a while. I promise this won't affect the plan you agreed to!" arjuna said calmly.
"No! There's nothing more to talk about!" rosa shouted loudly. Her reddened eyes showed how angry she was towards the person who had made her daughter suffer for so many years.
"Thatcher, Ma!" abi Imron calms his wife.
"I won't let him ruin my daughter's life again, Bi. He left himself, so what's he coming back for?" rosa expressed all the anger that raged in her heart.
"Yes, I understand what you're worried about, Ma. But stay calm in dealing with it. We can talk about this carefully ..," Imron told his wife.
Rosa dropped herself on the chair by holding her chest while she was a bitighfar. As much as possible he suppressed his anger considering there was Maryam's grandmother and Iqbal.
"What do you think, Syifa?" ask abi Imron.
"Let us talk for a minute, Ma, Abi. Syifa did not want Syifa's past to be a hindrance to Syifa's future. Let Syifa finish it first" Syifa pleaded.
"That's exactly what Syifa said, Ma. Let them solve their problems first. So that it does not cause problems again in the future" said Imron again persuaded his wife.
"How about Iqbal, Miss Maryam? Would you mind if they were given a chance to talk for a while?" ask Imron.
Maryam's grandmother looked at Iqbal. He handed the decision to his grandson.
"Please. I wouldn't mind for that. Syifa was old enough to decide what to do. I am not yet her husband. I don't think I have the right to ban it" Iqbal replied calmly.
"Thank you for the understanding, son Iqbal!"
Imron nodded to Syifa as a sign that Syifa could find Arjuna.
Syifa moved forward and took Arjuna to talk on the porch. They sat next to each other, bounded by a round table in the middle. On the side of the road there is an assistant Juna waiting in the car.
"Syifa, I just came from Singapore two days ago. Bang Hanif just came to the house to visit. That's where I know all about you from the time I left until the news that you've been proposed to by Iqbal."
"I came here just to apologize for the mistakes I've made so far to make you suffer. And secondly, I just want to congratulate you because you're getting married soon. I hope you're happy with your marriage!" said Juna.
"That's it, brother? Suddenly Kak Juna came after all these years and just said sorry without any explanation?" syifa asked with a stifled voice holding back the cry.
Arjuna looked at Syifa with a broken feeling. For years he tried to forget the woman he loved so much and now when he met again, it was still the same. He was again swept away in his feelings that he had been trying to eliminate. Even a sense of unwillingness immediately arises when remembering soon Syifa will belong to someone else.
"Syifa, I know that you were unhappy when we were getting married. You took me for granted because I repeatedly said that I would wait for you whenever you were ready to marry me. You are also forced to accept me because it is pressed by those closest to us, right? That's why I chose to cancel to marry you."
"Before the accident happened, I had already gotten a premonition from a dream. Several times I dreamed of seeing you married but not me. Except with someone else. In my dream you look very happy. Until the accident happened."
"I don't want to make you suffer after marrying me. Especially having to make you live without love with a crippled man like me!" arjuna explained.
"But that's not the way to end our relationship, brother. You should have talked to me about it first then. Instead you just leave without seeing me, sister!"
"Even though I didn't have any love for you back then, it doesn't mean I couldn't learn to love the man who was destined to be my husband. You're too petty to judge me, brother!" syifa said with sorrow.
Arjuna silently digested Syifa's words. He felt sorry for leaving Syifa.
