24. Ummi said: Very sweet, really!
“Blue!”
“Mas!”
Jihan and Kha were both surprised by Blue's speech. The two women shouted at Blue at the same time.
However, Jihan returned indifferent.
“It's, Ok! Mama doesn't matter who you want to marry. Origin! if you can't fulfill the second condition, make sure you want Mama about taking over the post,” said Jihan. He looked at Kha from head to toe and then back up. “Not bad.” he said then left without getting acquainted with Kha.
Blue still blocked Kha's hand wrapped in her jacket. He grinned while scratching his non-itchy head.
“Lepasin, ih!” Kha brushed off Blue's hand, also throwing a jacket at him. “If you want to benefit people do not me dong!”
“Who benefits you?”
Kha grumbling. “That was earlier dateng-dateng hand pull people keep saying I'm a future wife Mas, what?!”
Blue smile sweet. “I didn't touch you right away, Kha... That was my mother, my biological mother. I don't benefit you,”
“Continue?!”
“Al isra verse 32,” says Blue.
Kha frowning. “I also know that verse!”
“I'm not kidding anymore let alone using people. Therefore I do not intend to take you to do the thing that Allah has cursed.” Blue gaze was distorted, the middle-aged man who was standing in front of the shophouse since earlier was staring at him sharply.
“That Abi equals Ummiku, that behind Gamya equals Syamier, my sisters.”
Blue did not answer, he instead left Kha and went to Kha's parents. Blue greeted Azzam and Kha's sisters and then threw a greeting smile at Alsea. He introduced himself as a neighbor of the shophouse as well as a working partner.
In contrast to Azzam who was a lot silent, Women beraras ayu even though at a young age is no longer more friendly. Answer and ask questions about what he is doing. Hearing Azzam cleared his throat, Blue resigned and then entered the shophouse.
...🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼...
Kha.
“Cieee who feel at home never returned to Jogja, it turns out to have been a prospective wife of people.” Syamier.
Kha prepares to pinch Syamier but is held back by his tank.
Kha notices Azzam who is still sitting quietly on the second floor after witnessing Blue's silly actions towards him. Alsea is the same. He ran to Alsea Kedapur.
“Ummi..,”
Alsea handed him a tray of 4 cups of hot tea. “Take this and bring it forward. We're talking in front of ya, son.”
Alsea obeyed Ummi's orders, he placed the cup in front of Azzam and his sisters, while Ummi came out with a plate of patuk bapia brought from Jogja.
“Abi..,”
“Teteh dating?”
“Terus that was?” Kha plays her hand on her lap.
Alsea raised the teacup, giving it to Azzam. “Drink first, Bi... Our child can't do anything bad,”
Kha explained to her family about her and Blue, who was only a neighbor of the shophouse, as well as a working partner. Although they are often involved in the same time and place, Kha insists that it is only about work, and there is no context leading up to such a thing as dating.
“Then, what did Abi hear earlier, honey? Is it just a joke? What did the young man say?”
Kha they re-conversed with Blue earlier, all without exception he revealed back to Azzam and Alsea.
“Nak... Abi knows, pioneering a business in a foreign place like this must be difficult. Abi hope you do not forget your marwah as a Muslimah,”
Kha nodded slowly. “Insha Allah, Kha always take care, Abi,”
“Ppromise yourself not to drop your heart easily, except on him who will accompany worship until jannah.”
Hearing Azzam's advice, his eyes warmed up. In his heart he felt very guilty. He himself was still worried about his feelings for Blue. Kha feels Blue is a protective figure, a person who sucks but also makes himself comfortable over his behavior and attention.
“But, Bi... According to Ummi, the young man did not mess with his words,”
Abi frowning. “Means, Ummi?”
“From the way he put a barrier so as not to directly contact with Teteh, introducing Teteh as a prospective wife of the same woman earlier, Ummi thought the young man was not just kidding. The way he treats Teteh looks very appreciative of women,” Alsea explained.
“Then according to, Gam, anyway! The same trick Aa was equally there was a taste, Ummi.” as well as Gamya. Kha rounded her eyes and threw a sofa pillow at her sister.
Alsea gently rubbed the back of her eldest son. Tidying up the folds of the hijab that are actually neat. “Betul so, Darling?”
Kha stared at the netar nanar of Alsea. He should have been able to answer, No! Kha does not love Blue or anyone, Kha still takes good care of her heart. But the truth is that Kha is unable to answer. His tongue is mute, nor can he deny that all the attention Blue has had on him has touched the recesses of his heart.
“What makes Ummi child unable to answer?”
This time Kha lowered her gaze. It is true that he was unable to answer Alsea's question because he was also sanctioned with his own feelings. Then, Dipa who had been staying in the flower storage room spoke up.
“Mas Blue nice guy, Om, Aunt. He often helps work Teteh and take care of Teteh even in his own way.” said Dipa
“Oh yes?” reply Alsea. “What does the young man look after the daughter of Ummi, until the beauty is silent?” Alsea smiled sweetly seeing her son misbehaving.
Dipa told me all the kindness and care Blue had done. There are even some things that Kha just learned from Dipa.
“Sorry, Kha, Ummi..”.
Alsea laughed and hugged the princess. “Aduh, ouch.... Princess Ummi is an adult. Having love for the opposite sex is not wrong, son, as long as it is not excessive. Ummi also thought the young man did not just call Kha as a prospective wife if he does not like you,”
“Teteh did not know that he loved Teteh, nor did he know that Teteh secretly borrowed his name to talk to God. It's so sweet, son..,”
“Ummi..” Kha returned Alsea's embrace tighter.
“God see what's in Teteh's heart, even if someone else misunderstands, son. Thank you for taking care of yourself as Ummi requests when Teteh leaves home.” Kha nodded slowly inside Alsea's shoulder.
Azzam who was silent then stood up as soon as he heard the voice of Adhan. “Gam, Sham, We worship at a mosque near here,” Abi invited. Then turned to look at Alsea as well as Kha. “If the man is right with his words and is able to take responsibility, he will soon meet Abimu.” Abi said.
