Part 45 "Changing Options"

Not adding an eps today. 🙈🙈😁🤭 Friday blessings, blessings, blessings....😆

The debar is tightening. I don't know what Kala's worried about. He glanced at Vey still remained silent calmly even though the debum was much louder in Vey's own ears. Then, he held onto Vey's hand, showing her cold sweaty palms.

Vey. Reading worries in both eyeballs Kala. He blinked, then looked back down.

Sounds like it's not over. The sentence of Gus Omar as deliberately extended its opening. The two girls behind Uncle Gani wanted this meeting to end soon. Abimana's existence makes Kala also not feel at home, very awkward.

"And at this meeting, Mr. Gani, I would like to offer an apology..."

"I'm sorry?" ask Vey and Kala inwardly. Vey tried to raise his face. Meanwhile, Kala squeezed his fingers.

"There's something that makes me have to trade options. Mr. Gani, I would like to propose to Madam Habibah for my wife."

Shocked is not playing. A storm from the front struck suddenly. And, instantly those tears fell on his lap. Breathing's tight. Kala wanted to shout the word not as loud as possible. The words of Miss Mary used to be absolutely evident tonight. Miss Maria who that afternoon said that she could have married first.

"No way. No way." Kala buried his face. Down deep. With such a face, he would not dare to stare at anyone. Especially looking at Abimana, the man she liked and expected. He struggled to hold back the sobs. No matter how hard her tears were, she would be even more embarrassed if at seventeen years of age she still cried raucously like that. It was painful and very unexpected.

"He is still in school. For me it doesn't matter, Mr. Gani," he added later.

"It would be better if I hump Gus Omar's request with the family. Especially with Kala."

"Yes yeah.I get it. Please please!"

Not without reason. During the trip to the restaurant earlier, Gus Omar playing mobile phone. Opening insagrem, the fad opened the business ficibook accounts of Vey and Kala when one status passed on his porch. It was there that he found Vey's full name.

"Vey Kun Nana Shafa'ah?" He looked at Abimana.

"Who is this, Bi?"

"I've known Nana since childhood, Gus." Abhimana answered only. He felt a bit strange when he heard Gus Omar ask that.

"Ohh."

And that's when Gus Omar understood. He had to change his choices. After all, he was actually interested in Kala during the first meeting in the ndalem. He did not have a special reason why to the girl biasedalah his heart actually chose. To the young girl with cruelty nasab, smart, and physical more perfect even he did not want. Sometimes the decision has to be measured by how strong the belief is. And, apparently it was she who was able to make her heart say yes for no apparent reason. In fact, Kala is also not a santrinya. Unknown. But, he was sure there would be a way to go to that. There is a time to get to know each other better.

Coincidentally Gus Omar is also quite close to Dr. Bowo, the principal of MAN Pasuruan. Through the intermediary of Doctor Bowo, he asked for a series of achievements that Kala had achieved so far. It was very easy for him to know the information even though he did not reveal his purpose and purpose. And, Dr. Bowo also told him about the rote achievement that Kala had achieved. Then, he dialed the number of Miss Maria that Dr. Bowo had sent to him.

He asked like a guardian student who asked about the development of his child. She also knows well who Mary is. He got a number of information that he found quite interesting, that Kala's achievements in the field of tahfiz are quite superior to all students who sit in the class of religious excellence. Although not the only reason why he ended up choosing willingly, but the information had indeed prompted his desire to try.

Kala did not try to hide his grief. Each tear was about to fall, he swiftly put the end of his alma mater veil to stem. He was sleepy when asked by his friend. But, Mela and Ruma would not believe it. His closest friend understood that his eyes were because he had been crying all night, then accidentally overslept.

"Mel, is Miss Maria there?"

"I don't know." Ruma answered.

This time I acted unconcerned. He rose up to find out for himself where Miss Maria - the only teacher to confide in. Before that, he wore glasses that he had pinned in his uniform pocket. At least people will think he has an eye problem.

He's looking for Miss Maria in the teacher's room. When she did not find Ms. Maria sitting at the desk, she went straight to the school musala. Perhaps Mary was performing duha there. He took a step forward knowing that Miss Mary's shoes were on the doorstep. He noticed the shoes, then reversed his position - recalling how santri treated his footwear during the afternoon sowan.

Shortly after that he approached because Ms. Maria asked him to shake hands.

"Assalamualaikum, Ma?"

"Vaalaikumussalam. Want deposit?"

"Mboten, Miss Maria." Slowly he looked down.

Miss Maria looked up her face. "Why? Your mother's problem again?"

"No, Mom."

Mary took off her face. While folding he asked, "What about? You just get all your junk out!"

"Last night, Mom..." Kala. Shame at once reluctant.

"He.em?" Miss Maria is looking for her backrest on the wall. Sloped legs.

Kala swallowed the salivary.

"Mom, I don't want to marry young."

"Common Kala? Why say that?"

Kala told me the details of the meeting last night. He also told her that what Miss Mary said that afternoon came true. So is the assumption of Vey who suddenly before entering the restaurant.

"It's not conjecture, Kala. But, the night before the day you confided to Mother, Gus Omar asked you. At first, I didn't understand. He asked how you did in school. He called loo straight away. And, what a coincidence that you'll tell Mom tomorrow. Hence, I said that marriage is age-independent. It could be you who got married earlier than your mother."

"Muuu?" call him half whining.

"Isn't getting married a hard thing, Mom?"

"That's how marriage is. Farm to find reward and learn. Worship for a lifetime. It's natural that it's hard."

"What should I do, Mom?"

"Prepare mentally and heart. His heart is set from now on. Lowering the ego, improving attitudes, lowering negative thought patterns."

"But, ma'am.this is too sudden for me. I'm ashamed of you, ma'am."

"When, face what is. Yea? The rest will be thought of later. Follow groove. Gus Omar was not just open opportunities. By choosing you, it's a sign that there are mature considerations. Taaruf. Then, discuss what Kala wants to plan ahead. Talking to adults like Gus Omar is easy. He will quickly understand and you will be directed. Patience, yes."
