Gold And Diamond
Part 95 "Old Promise"

Don't forget to pray. Bismillah. 🤗

As he had promised himself, three years had passed without denial. Abhimana was a widower all this time. At that time, he was fully aware that his way to maintain his marriage was not because of love. Pure because of the twelve. Guilt is growing day by day. In order to see the change in Nurmaya's attitude and way of socializing getting worse, she refrained. In fact, he actually became a more emotional man even though there were no words or harsh treatment. However, he did realize his attitude change was different than before the disaster happened. After four years of maintaining the marriage, but eventually the marriage had to run aground with the talaq one.

Abimana thought that with only one talak, there was still a chance that lay for him to return to Nurmaya. Unfortunately no. At that time, Gus Omar visited him and asked Nurmaya to return to the pesantren on the grounds of who knew the situation would be better. For, Nurmaya's love and care has reverberated in Mahbubah. He also heard that Gus Omar would finance Nurmaya's treatment until he recovered. And if Nurmaya has recovered, she can return to Nurmaya as usual.

Abiman monitored Nurmaya's news directly from Gus Omar and his fellow santri son who also served in the ndalem. He heard the good news, Nurmaya can work well as usual even though his socialization is still very lacking. The original plan changed as well. He finally chose not to return with a promise, I will let him be happy as my way to make amends. I will not marry again until she is happily married again. He proved that promise until three years passed.

On top of the disaster that has also passed, unfortunately it causes Abimana the trauma of driving.Tak dare to go far even though it must be rammed. He only wanted to drive a short distance and even then he sometimes asked his younger brother to deliver. Or, sometimes ask Niar to buy her something. Until now, he is still trying to fight his worries even though he has actually got a prosthetic leg.

There is only trauma and memories left. In the midst of his busy work to continue teaching at the LBB, whose development process was delegated to a teaching friend who also taught there, he expanded to read books on how to deal with trauma. He also spends more time in the living room to explore the yellow book or reopen the books in the boarding school first.

📞"Gus, how is Nurmaya doing?" Once a week, he asks me the news. He closed the book for a moment.

📞"Still that way, Bi. You don't have to worry too much. I've spoken before that Nurmaya must be cured. You can go back to him."

📞"Seems impossible, Gus. Maybe it's better if Nurmaya stays in the pesantren forever. I'd be happy if I saw him joking and joking again like I used to."

📞"Then you marry again. I thought, by remarrying your psychic condition would be much better. Find a woman who's really willing to accept your condition."

Abimana took a breath.

📞"It's not time for me to get married again. I promised to make sure Nurmaya was happy first, Gus. And I won't break that promise."

📞"Yes okay. It's up to you wae."

📞"When-when I'm going to the pesantren to make sure instantly. All the pilgrimages to Abah and Bu Nyai's tomb, Gus."

📞"Monggo. Already, yes, Bi. Sepurane I have a meeting with Kiai."

📞"Sign. Ngapunten."

Phone's closed.

Promise is a promise. Which should be kept forever.

Then came the sound of Niar's motor. Niar got down from there immediately chuckled in jest. Abhimana saw that there was someone behind Niar, still wearing the teacher's uniform.

"Assynogaal?" Niar looked at Abimana. He took off his shoes and socks.

"Vaalaikumussalam. No more hours?"

"There, anyway. Ntar malem, Mas. Mas Abi need help what I help you with before I talk to Ms. Nana. Ma'am Nana's going to the stall, lunch, Mas."

"You're the one who jumped or he's the ..."

"Mbak Nana wants to. Why?"

"No. Yeah, you've gone there."

"Iyeeeee" replied Niar sewot.

Abimana saw Vey still standing outside. He stood up and stood in the middle of the door.

"Monggo in!"

Vey. "O yes. Just here. It's sultry." With a hint of embarrassment or worry of offending, Vey unceasingly stared for a long time.

"Yes already."

Vey felt that what Niar said was true. The cold attitude of Abimana, he could feel it. In fact, it's much colder. Because in general people will ask the situation if it has not met for a long time. Not with Abhimana coming back in.

"Mbak Nana come on!" bring Niar. He also grabbed Vey's arm.

"What do you think of Ma'am Na?"

"What?"

"Mas Abi" whispered Niar.

"No comments."

"Sir, maybe not if Mas Abi later married again?"

"Not knowing either, anyway. Your mom and dad?"

"No, it's just my wishful thinking. But it looks like Mas Abi is widowed. I don't know until when. Ma'am, doain Mas Abi, yes. Doain he's cured."

"Your mother is a man. He must have faced his misfortune."

"Oh, yes, Ms. Nana has also experienced this. It's just the difference that Mbak Na's parents died."

"Yes, Niar."

"One thing, Ma'am, please I ask Mas Abi for help so that there will be a sincere woman who wants to marry Mas Abi." Niar pleads.

"Yes I pray."

Silent. There was only the sound of the music flowing from earlier. Due to the age, Vey immediately spread. Time to rest your body.

"Mas Abi chose to be a widower?" muttered. His left hand shrank the volume of music.

"What yes? How do I feel about it."

The kling! Chat in.

"Bak, Mas Abi just left with Mas Jamal to the boarding school to look at Mbak Yaya."

^^^"Yes."^^^

"If possible, pray they reunite yes, Ma'am 😔."

^^^"God willing, Niar."^^^

"I miss the same Mas Abi, Ma'am, Ma'am. Sorry yes, Ma'am, I confide in the same Sister Nana Mulu. Fits, anyway. Nothing as understanding Ma'am Na 😬😬️🙈."

^^^"Yes gapapa."^^^

"🤗🤗🤗🤗. Ma'am Na is alone? Kala never came home, did she?"

^^^"Rarely. If it used to be good once every two weeks he went home, nginep. Sometimes they come back from Magrib. I understand it. He's bothered. The dependents are hundreds of students."^^^

"When did you marry? Is there a candidate?"

^^^"Wish, yes."^^^

"Mbak Na is pantes dapetin guy who is very kind. Because Na is also good. Na is also independent. Definitely not ngrepotin 😘."

^^^"Aamiin."^^^
