Husband Does Not Know Himself
152. Pick up Siska

"Siska, it's afternoon. Aren't you going back to your hostel?"

"Siska has said goodbye to the boarding house, if you want to accompany Miss Mirna to recover."

"Then you stay here, let us not be lonely."

"Mom don't mind, I'm hitchhiking at mom's house again?"

"No." Ms. Mirna shook her head quickly.

"All right, Siska's gonna talk to the hostess tomorrow."

"Oh yes, Sis. Do you seriously want to be widowed your whole life?" Siska nodded her head.

"Mom can see that Doni's son likes you. Just accept him. You two are just as good. Your late husband must have been happy too, watching his wife have changed and being able to remarry a good man."

"Lady..."

Not finished Siska speaking, there was already the sound of the door opening. It turned out that Doni was already standing on the doorstep.

"Why not say hello, sir? Just surprised us." Siska poked her lips, annoyed.

The man has been in the house since. Perhaps it was because it was too serious to speak, so Miss Mirna and Siska were unaware of its arrival.

He stood by the door, hearing the two talking. What is being talked about is himself.

"I said my regards, but there was no reply. Because the door was a little open, yes I went in. Especially when you have a supporter."

Doni stepped in and placed the fruits on the nightstand near Miss Mirna's bed. He was still standing, because there was no chair in the room.

"I think I heard someone was supporting me to get my love. Is that right, Mom?"

Doni looked at Ms. Mirna, then she nodded. Then the man crouched down in front of Siska. This made the girl a little confused.

"Why are you like that, mom? Sit here, let me move." Siska gets out of Miss Mirna's bed, but her wrists are blocked by Doni.

"Sit. It's okay I'm sitting downstairs. I just wanted to say. Miss Mirna's just supporting us to unite, then what makes you hesitate?"

Siska did not expect that Doni would do that in front of Miss Mirna. Frankly, the girl was embarrassed.

"On that..."

"I told you, we're going to the doctor to check your health. Let us both calm down."

"That's what Doni's son said, Sis. I'll bless you both."

For a moment Siska looked at Bu Mirna, then nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I agree." said Siska while looking down.

"Alhamdulillah. I'm so happy Sis."

Doni spontaneously embraced Siska. The girl also did not expect that the man she loved would behave like that in front of Miss Mirna.

While Miss Mirna who saw, smiled broadly at the happiness of the two people. He also deliberately cleared his throat, because the two have not become husband and wife.

"Tomorrow we'll go to the hospital. I'll pick you up." Siska nodded.

The three of them talked for a long time. Because it's getting dark, Doni's getting home. And promised to visit tomorrow.

At night, Siska slept in a room with Miss Mirna. She hugged Mirna like her own mother. Soon, both of them slept.

In the morning, Siska woke up early. She does her homework like yesterday. After he finished cooking, he intended to take the food to Ms. Mirna's room. But the middle-aged woman had already appeared in the kitchen first.

"Mother, why did you come here? Siska was just about to take this food to the room."

"No need, Sis. We'll eat here both."

Miss Mirna pulled out a chair and sat there. Siska pulled out a chair and sat down in front of her.

"Taste you pretty good. I like it." Miss Mirna smacked the food in her mouth.

"Thank you, Mom. Later after coming home from the hospital, I'll cook it again for mom."

"Yes, but you don't have to worry about that. Because you can buy vegetables that are ripe in the shop next door. The important thing is that you focus on your health."

"Good, Mom."

Siska stood up, to wash the dishes and clean the table. After that, he took a shower and got ready.

Elsewhere, after delivering her belongings to the store, as promised yesterday, Doni picked up Siska at the rented house of Bu Mirna.

The young man hummed cheerfully along the way. Until finally, he had arrived at the courtyard of Bu Mirna's house.

He knocked on the door and said hello. Shortly after, the door slowly opened. It was Miss Mirna who was standing in the doorway. The middle-aged woman let him in, and sat down in the living room.

"Where is Siska, Mom?"

"Patience, wait a minute. He just did Dhuha's prayer."

Doni was bearded and praised in his heart, Siska who wanted to do something Sunnah.
