Anna's Heart Frame
Stay with Ummi

Anna has completed Aliyah-level school in the cottage.Many love the sorrow that Anna felt during studying at the cottage.Today they will be repatriated to their respective families.

Anna, Aini and Fitri find it hard to separate.they are already like sister.help each other and share grief, looking for solutions to every problem that exists.

The letter that Adnan sent was kept by Anna in a small box. After their meeting at the wedding Buk Endang Adnan never showed himself again. Adnan just sent a letter. Anna read the letter from Adnan without being able to reply.

Ummi and Abi come to the santriwati farewell event that graduated this year. Ummi had already told Anna's mother about graduation and today's event. Mother asked Ummi and Abi to attend the event as Anna's parents. Moreover, all the needs and educational costs of Anna were borne by Ummi and Abi.

During the farewell event Ummi continued to hold Anna's hand. Ummi is grateful to see Anna graduate from Aliyah's school at the cottage. Ummi also hopes to witness the marriage of his biological children and adopted children, although Anna does not yet know who they are.

After the release of santriwati. santriwati allowed to go home. Ummi invites Anna to stay at his house. Anna agrees. Anna also wants to see Ummi's house.

Danu helped bring all Anna's belongings in the cottage. Anna, Ummi and Abi visit Ummi Zahra before leaving the cottage. Ummi Zahra cries as she lets go of Anna and Umm Salma. Abi also hugged his best friend tightly and thanked him for taking good care and educating Anna.

Ustad Faiz was still at the venue with her parents and santriwati who invited her to chat. Anna was already saying goodbye to him when she left the venue. To Anna's graduates make Ustad Faiz feel lost santriwati who are diligent, obedient and smart.

Anna was the only private student who every afternoon was taught by her for almost five semesters.

For the first time after three years of knowing Ummi and Abi, Anna visits their home. The atmosphere of Ummi's house is very quiet, quiet and beautiful.the house with a spacious and well-maintained front and back yard.

Danu brought all of Anna's belongings to the upper room opposite Adnan's room. In Ummi's house there are no family photos on display. There are only Arabic calligraphy and natural landscape paintings.

Ummi invites Anna to sit in the family room.

"Anna your room is on the upper floor on the left. The room on the right of Ummi's child's room.he's out of town in three months. hopefully Anna feels at home in Ummi's quiet house" said Ummi sad because Adnan had three days out of town to complete his coursework practice this semester.

"Anna will stay at Ummi's house until Ummi's son returns tomorrow Anna will ask Mom to come to Ummi's house." replied Anna did not have the heart to leave her adoptive parents.

"Alright, thank you for accompanying us." said Ummi smiling at Anna's decision.

"There's no one else in this house anymore Ummi?"

"There's only Astri, he's the cook in this house, if for the garden and the cleanliness they live in each other's houses."

"Astri has only been working three months in this house, she has been divorced from her husband.this morning permission to visit her parents after a new night back.

Ummi is deliberately looking for workers who do not have children. Ummi is traumatized by workers who have families and have daughters.we just got away from the slander they made. Six months ago Ummi's son was accused of raping his son, making false reports to the police.

they said it happened in this house when we were not at home.they did not know if Ummi's house had hidden surveillance cameras. now they must bear the shame of having their child pregnant without knowing who the father of the child they contain."

"Are they not going to sue again after the child is born?"

"No, they wouldn't dare. Because they were purely making false statements.The place and time they mentioned during the incident had been checked by the police through a surveillance camera. they've also apologized, because they believed his son's lies."

"What if Ummi's son bribes them to get the problem over, I get scared. Good thing he's not at home. I'll leave if he comes back." Anna's inner.

"Satpam who guards the fence also lives in his own house?"

"No, the security guard lives next door to us with his wife, they're a couple who don't have children and have worked in that house for a long time."

"Anna can Anna cook? Abi really wants to eat Anna's cooking" said Abi did not want Anna to know more about the problems in her home.

"Well Abi. Where's the cooking place?"

Ummi brought Anna to the kitchen they cooked together. finished cooking them a meal together. they ate with greed, the atmosphere of the house felt alive again with the presence of Anna.

Ummi gave her the HP Anna had left her.

Anna informs Mother that she now lives in Ummi's house and will stay for three months. Mom gave her permission and agreed Anna stayed that long at Ummi's house.

The night Anna was in her room, she called Adnan using a video call.

Adnan knew the number that Anna had been using for Ummi.

Adnan answered Anna's video call.

"How are you Um..."

Adnan did not continue because what he saw was Anna.

Anna laughed at Adnan's cut speech.

"Assalamualaikum sis, how are you?"

Adnan smiled when he saw Anna calling him.

"Waalaikummussalam Anna. This is really Anna right? who's Anna at?" asked Adnan who recognized the room Anna was occupying.

"Secret."

"Anna graduated from cottage school?"

"Here, this morning the farewell ceremony as well as the handover of santriwati to her parents. now Anna lives in Ummi's house."

"Why didn't you tell sister a week ago?"

"Anna no HP sis, this is the HP that you bought back Ummi. it turns out Ummi still activates Anna's card" said Anna with a happy laugh.

"Sister can't go home in this month, next month can only go home.watch out you yes brother will give you punishment for not telling brother about graduation early."

Anna laughed at Adnan's words

"What's the penalty?"

"The punishment, must accept the application from brother and after finishing the practice of work here we immediately marry."

"Okay, Anna wait."

Anna is very happy to hear that Adnan is going to propose and they are getting married soon.

"Sister, Anna stayed at Ummi's house as long as Ummi's son was out of town, Ummi said his son would be back in three months.so his proposal is tomorrow only when Anna is already in the village."

Adnan thought silently about Anna's answer.

**Oh, so Ummi and Abi haven't told you if you live in your sister's house and our room is next to each other. Brother will make a surprise for you.*Adnan's inner

"Alright, tomorrow when Anna is in the village, sister will come home. Anna take care of herself. Do not go out of the house if there is no Ummi or Abi who accompanies."

"Yes, where's Adnan's house? Anna wants to see Ummi and Abi brother Adnan."

Adnan laughed when he heard Anna wanted to visit his parents.

"Don't visit. Brother can't accompany Anna. tomorrow so that brother and sister's parents come to Anna's house. Anna, prepare yourself, pray that you can finish the job here."

"Yes, Anna will pray, sister, Anna is sleepy."

"Well, good night, good night, my sister's dream is yes" Adnan said ending his video call with Anna.

Adnan immediately called Ummi who was in the room with Abi.

"Ummi don't let Anna know Adnan's Ummi's son."

"Yes, Ummi wants you to introduce Anna to us."

"Ummi, Adnan can go home early next month, Ummi and Abi want us to go to Anna's house to propose?"

"Anna wants to stay here for three months, if you come home and propose to Anna means Anna has to go home, Anna can only come to this house after you get married. Ummi doesn't want Anna to come home, Ummi wants Anna to stay in this house."

"What if Anna doesn't come home?"

Abi who had heard the talk of his son and wife, took Hp in the hands of Ummi.

"You don't have to go home until your work practice is over. For the application event let Abi and Ummi come to Anna's house. Anna, we don't have to tell you. If Anna can stay in our house until the wedding takes place in this house, you will meet Anna after ijab qobul."

Adnan was speechless listening to his Abi speech.

"So Anna wanted to know Adnan's parents, shouldn't Anna know who Ummi and Abi were before we got married?"

"Anna has twice refused to meet Abi and ummi you, so tomorrow let her know when she is your wife" replied Abi wanted to see how Anna would react.

"Well hopefully Anna doesn't refuse the nantik marriage. she must have thought it wasn't Adnan who married her."

Abi laughed at Adnan's reply.

"You take it easy, Abi will arrange everything. Remember Abi's message, there is no meeting before you officially become husband and wife."

"Yes Abi. Adnan will hold back."

***

Anna tells her dormitory friend and cottage grad friend if Anna lives in the city and Anna gives her home address.Anna's friend who works and lectures in the city starts visiting Anna. Ummi and Abi feel grateful that their home is back crowded with friends visiting Anna.

Anna also does not get tired of staying at home every day.Three times a week Anna will join Mbok Astri to the market.cook with mbok Astri. picking fruits that are behind the Ummi house. Especially if Anna's friends come to visit them until they forget time.

Every day Anna calls, messages with Adnan. Adnan who was outside the city became very impatient to meet Anna immediately.

Adnan always urged Ummi and Abi to immediately propose to Anna. Adnan also told me when the work was done and would go home. Adnan every week makes a report of his work so that later when he returns his college assignments have been completed and Adnan can focus on his marriage.

A month has passed. Ummi and Abi tell Anna that if they have any business out of town for one week.as long as they go Anna may bring her friend to stay overnight but Anna is forbidden to leave the house.

Anna is excited to be able to invite her friends to stay at home and Anna will keep her promise not to leave the house, do not go to the market with Mbok Astri as long as Ummi and Abi are not at home.
