Gold And Diamond
Part 41 "Two Wishes"
Don't forget to pray. Bismillah đ¤
This morning the tenth night was stirred by Nurmaya's uproar. Nurmaya came out of the room full of frenzy. Gus Omar, who was in the son's cottage, had to break the clock teaching the book. Ning Bulqis asked Nurmaya to call.
"Nganu...Gus...Abah suddenly complained of chest pain." Nurmaya said that.
Gus Omar did not answer. However, seen from his long-long steps immediately towards ndalem.
Finally, he had to be rushed to the hospital. Gus Omar and Ning Bulqis as well as the departing driver. Ning Bulqis did not forget to give a message to Nurmaya. If it turns out then sepuh abah declared to be hospitalized, then Nurmaya must go to the hospital with the driver to bring clothes and so on.
Until late at night, Gus Omar stayed in the hospital. In fact told Ning Bulqis and Gus Naba, as well as Gus Asri to go home. Because, Nurmaya had brought her clothes and clothes as old as before. Leave him alone. Fill the silence by reading the Quran.
About thirty later, then he was pensive. He turned his attention briefly towards his illuminated cell phone. There's an incoming notification. Uncle Gani's message made him unable to reply immediately. He actually went to perform Istikharah prayer because he still has wudu.
Uncle Gani told him who and how his two nephews were. However, Uncle Gani also made it clear that Vey was the one to be introduced. That's why he begged for directions to be fixed. It was only after he had taken a few minutes, that he replied to the message.
Gus Omar confirms Uncle Gani's statement. Also determine the place and day at once. It's just that he did not want to tell the date because he still had to wait for healing.
He got up and sat on the chair.
"Change, be healthy! Santri-santri still need Abah prayer. I also still want to see Abah sitting in the armoury giving me my blessing. Abah pray I want to get (get) the best mate. I'll keep spreading it. I'll pick her up after this if we're a match, Bah. However, I really want to hear Abah's message whether it's really the woman I have to choose" he said.
And, apparently Nurmaya was listening to it from behind the door. Like squeezing that heart. The pain is not bleeding. He must accept the fact again, that it was not to him that Gus Omar willed. Is the call planned to him an absolute sign that he will not be part of the chosen woman? He was unable to withstand the raging thump.
"Who is that woman? God, am I not capable of being that woman?"
Gus Omar writes behind the door. Heard the slack as. Then, go check.
"Loh, Yeah?"
Nurmaya. Cleaned the corner of his eye. I dare not look at Gus Omar.
"Why? Is anyone missing, Nduk?"
"Be asked, what's the nitip, Gus? Food or anything. Ning Bulqis said to deliver kang, Gus."
"Ooh. Don't need. I could eat some greb food if I wanted to. If you want anterin food tomorrow morning. I request sweet spicy chicken, yes, Nduk. All you ever say is good, Nduk."
"Gus, please call me Nurmaya, please" she said.
"Snouts, Gus. Tomorrow after the morning, I'm here. Anything else, Gus?"
"Sir, are you serious about not wanting to be with Abimana?"
"Aren't you there?" his inner.
Nurmaya looked down deeper. Unable to answer yes and impossible to refuse blatantly.
"Yesterday was Abimana the answer was so, but if persuaded for a long time he also wanted to."
Nurmaya braved herself. "Why me, Gus?"
"You're ndalem's favorite. So did Abimana. Your devotion can continue together after marriage. I think you guys are a good fit."
"I don't think so, Gus," she's.
"Try once istikharah, Nduk! There's no harm either. Do you have your own criteria?"
"Su.dah, Gus."
"really? Who?"
"I can help you if that guy's in this boarding school. Santri right?"
It is difficult for a Gus Omar to distinguish between devotion and love, while both are very close things. Clearly he could not guess Nurmaya's true feelings. He really doesn't know. The gentle and obedient attitude is indeed often shown by all princesses, including santri-santri ndalem. For him, the attitude of such princess santri is ambiguity whose nature is still so abstruse to conclude.
Nurmaya was stuck for a moment. Then, choose to say goodbye because it is too late. He hoped that the way to end the conversation would not offend.
"OKAY. Please!"
Nurmaya stepped on the javelin. Slow and powerless.
"Why does this feeling keep growing? Who's nurturing it? Is it because I have decided I have fallen in love? O Allah, no one can cultivate feelings unless they are part of Your great secret, Lord. My destiny is to be the daughter of a fisherman who used to be a rickshawman. Big hayalku to be with the son kiai. If he is not my soul mate, remove this feeling, O Rabbi." Nurmaya was getting confused on her own. Busy guessing God's intentions fosters his feelings.

"Where, Bi?"
Abhimana turned his head as soon as he came out of the door of LBB Najah. His father had just finished talking with one of the guardians of students who studied at his tutoring place.
"Slowly."
"This you were offered. Ma'am e the little boy with the red veil of jambon, was a virgin. He's twenty-four."
"Just like Nana, sir." Abimana locked the door.
"How is the development?"
"Alhamdulillah.ya Nana is actually good. But, he's very enthusiastic, sir, when talking about work. So yesterday Abi pesen his gift for the kids to him."
"Yes, you play back to his house. If the door is wide open, you'll help me speak."
"Seriously condone?"
Mr. Cipto touched Abimana's shoulder. "Employed first. If the soul mate is alhamdulillah."
Abimana smiled faintly.
They step together.
"So you answered how when offered by Pak Taji?"
"Father replied you are working. Pak Taji immediately understood the meaning of the Father."
"So, actually a few weeks ago, Abi was offered Gus Omar to marry Nurmaya. Abdi ndalem's. But I don't fit in, sir. He's too innocent."
"Lhooo, yes wong wadon if it's innocent, Bi."
"The rich man doesn't understand Abi's choice." His mother who was on the porch throwing garbage connected suddenly.
"Don't I know?"
"Lha ya ngerti. If Abi demen with Nana, it means Abi demenannya who is independent, beautiful, brave, and not calm. Iyo, right, Bi?"
"Not so, Buk." Abimana. Difficult explained. Because her feelings had begun long ago, when nothing she had on Vey now she had not found in Vey's childhood.
"What's a choice like your mother?" Mr. Cipto joked.
"If that one loves you, Father" whispered Abimana as she walked away.
