Love From Mas Duda
Hihang Hoheng

At night, Wafa met his father who was sitting alone on the porch of his house. It appears that my father is reading a book. Wafa brought him a fried banana which he had just fried.

"Assalamualaikum," Wafa's greeting.

"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh," replied Mr. Kyai.

"Abi's relaxed, huh? Monggo warm tea and his fried bananas," Wafa serves what he has to offer.

They sit side by side. Wafa brought his cup of tea closer to his father. "Abi, please." she asked.

"Thank you, yeah ...." Mr. Kyai stroked Wafa's head.

It's been a long time that the two have not looked at each other like that. Every time Wafa wants to talk alone and spend a moment with Mr. Kyai, there is always something that makes both of them misunderstand and sometimes there is no time for the two to relax together.

"Seriously, please allow Wafa to go with Inneke with Mr Bian?" tanya Wafa made sure.

"Honey Abi did at this time must be sincere, Nduk. If only but not sincere from the deepest heart, fear it will even be a harm to you," replied kyai.

"What Abi saw from this Mr. Bian, he was the one in charge. He is also very strict in his decision-making. But there was a very big stubborn attitude towards him" Abi continued.

"But according to Abi, Mr. Bian is a wonderful man. He can take good care of his daughter, do good for her, and then trust you who are someone else to look after his daughter, too,"

"Some time ago, Abi had a casual chat with Ustadz Lana. Not to think, Ustadz Lana also always talk about good things from Mr. Bian,"

The weak breath was heard again. "Abi really hopes that you and Ustadz Lana can be together, Nduk" he said.

Wafa directly furrowed his brows. "Why are the edges like that?" tanyakanya. "If Abi wants to know, Wafa still can't accept Ustadz Lana's proposal!" emphatically.

"Subhanallah, why? What lack? Ustadz Lana is a good man, has a strong devotion to faith in God, effort has also been had, both parents have given blessing, especially the less?"

Wafa rolled his eyeballs.

"It's a matter of the heart, Abi," Wafa said.

"Well, Abi is the same late Umi you just didn't love each other. But we can, we fall in love after that" said Pak Kyai.

"Different, Abi!" exclaim Wafa.

"where's difference? It's the same, isn't it? Long time too the love will grow, really. People used to be Abi so," said Pak Kyai.

Wafa turned his face away. Times have also changed, in the past with matchmaking, people could have married easily. But for that time, Wafa himself was reluctant to be betrothed because he felt he was unable to love Ustadz Lana.

'Why don't I get excited if Abi is talking about Ustadz Lana.' Inner Wafa.

"Um, is your heart inhabited by others?" mr. Kyai suddenly asked like that.

"I mean Abi—what?" ask Wafa.

"You've always been close and had time with Mr. Bian. Is there anything between you that might have something special to do?" pak kyai goda.

Wafa widened his eyes. Surprised by the temptation his father threw. He became nervous, grabbed his cup of tea, then drank slowly. "A-Abi, why tease me like that? How could there be such a relationship?" said nervous.

Seeing his daughter's response, Pak Kyai nodded slowly and smiled faintly. 'His family is right, said Ustadz Lana, Reyhan and my own heart. My daughter is in love with the part but she hasn't noticed it yet.' her inner self.

"Assalamualaikum," said Dian, out carrying another plate of fried bananas that are still hot. "Nih, I added the fried banana again. Still hot, steady!" yells.

"Thank you" said Pak Kyai and Wafa simultaneously.

Dian also sat down to chat with Wafa and Pak kyai.

Wafa. "Hmm?"

"Heard you were slandered on campus? Pregnancy, what does that mean? Are you accused of being pregnant?" ask Dian.

Wafa nodded.

"Couldn't you? How's story? I only heard vaguely when Mr. Bian explained." asked Dian again.

While being serious, Zira came home from the cottage, greeted and immediately asked for a fried banana that had just been added by Dian.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh," greetings Zira.

"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,"

"Wahh, fried banana, here! Want one ah!" zira exclaimed, plucking the hot fried banana.

So hot, Zira to mangap-mangap when eating. He said, "Hihang hohengnya pangah hehahi. Hahi hankak!" said the silly girl, raising her thumb.

Zira's behavior invites laughter Wafa and Pak Kyai. Until Dian who had just come out again brought the siren, patted Zira's shoulder because it was rude to eat in front of the parents, especially Zira when she ate it also stood up.

At home, Bian recounted how he felt to his personal assistant. Likewise with Zaka Yang complained because this afternoon had to listen to the chatter from Inneke which he thought was very disturbing.

"Why you, Zaka? I see, you've been grumbling ever since. Are you hungry?" ask Bian.

"Unfortunately still upset with her best friend Miss Wafa," replied Zaka Yang.

"What's wrong with her? What did he do to you, until you got upset like that?" bian asked.

Zaka Yang stomped his feet, igniting with a rough breath. Still vividly remembered in Zaka Yang's memory when Inneke suddenly kissed his cheek. But after that, Inneke even fed Zaka Yang with the entire zoo.

At that time Zaka Yang was raving about his frustration with Inneke. But Bian instead did not focus on the story of his assistant. He remembered his funny argument with Wafa.

Recalling some time when Wafa smiled at him. When imagining Wafa's face, Bian's heart was pounding very fast. The man became uncomfortable and felt something strange about him. He touched his chest.

'What's this? Am I having a heart attack? Why is my wake pounding?' his inner.

"Well, not to mention if we meet kem—" Zaka Yang's chatter came to a halt when he saw Bian looking down with his palm touching his chest.

"Sir, what's wrong?" ask the exemplary assistant. "Are you sick? Why do you touch your chest like that?" continued.

Unfortunately, Zaka Yang did not get an answer from his Master.

"Good, Master! Go, say! At least answer me one question!" insistence worry.

"Sstt, why are you so noisy. Quiet down!" hiss Bian.

Bian told his personal assistant to shut up. Then make sure again that his heart is completely safe or not.

'It was still pounding and my feelings became agitated at the thought of Wafa. What's up, huh?' inner Bian.

Zaka Yang was already panicking, he ran into the kitchen immediately. Then come back with Bian a glass of water.

"Master, let's drink. This medicine will make you fine," pinta Zaka Yang, thrusting a glass of water and one capsule of tranquilizer.

Bian looked at Zaka Yang sharply.
