"I will speak my intentions first to his mother. If only my business had been delayed, I would have delivered Anna and asked her Papa for his blessing right now!" abbas looked at Anna.
The handsome man's gaze turned to Mama Ami who was staring at him.
"There's something I want to say there, Auntie. Actually I want to talk directly to his Papa Anna and also Auntie" said Abbas seriously. I asked for the blessing to approach Aunt's daughter, with the intention that I would like to preach her" Abbas said, making Anna round her eyes in surprise. She was surprised for the second time because Abbas dared to express his intentions directly in front of the mother.
Likewise with Aunt Melly, the woman in a scarf hood was not expecting the seriousness of Abbas to Anna.
Mama Ami once asked Abbas for him the day after one Anna officially became a Muslim. He smiled with Abbas's confession, saying Abbas's bold attitude to ask permission from the woman's parents before approaching him was typical of responsible men.
Mama Ami was confused as to what to answer. One side he was happy with Abbas's sincerity, but the other side. Mama Ami does not know who Abbas is. Anna didn't tell him much either.
"Tante thanks you with the courage of Nak Abbas. Aunty can't give an answer about your sermons against my daughter." Mama Ami looked at Anna. Then he said again, "For Anna has the right to answer. Aunty will approve any answer Anna will give. But .. didn't Nak Abbas hear about our parents Anna's problems. Aunty is afraid that it will be a regret for you later," said Mama Ami. He feared that one day it would be a regret for Abbas.
"God willing, not Tan" replied Abbas.
Calls from loudspeakers announcing to passengers on the Jakarta-Surabaya route must immediately enter the boarding gate room have been reverberating to make their chat needs to stop.
"Aunty wait for the seriousness of your speech in Surabaya, Nak Abbas. Anna's father would have liked to hear from you! I'm sorry if we can't talk much here. Aunty really appreciates your goodwill and sincerity for Anna. Aunty's happy that Anna got a responsible man like you. Excuse me, I'll see you soon!" Mama Ami patted the shoulder slowly of the young man who was currently facing him.
"Come, An!" take Mama Ami who got a slow nod from her daughter.
"Be careful, Auntie!" he said to release the departure of Mama Ami and Aunt Melly.
Mama Ami nodded slowly while Aunt Melly lowered her head politely and cupped her hands in front of her chest to say goodbye to Abbas. "Come, Abbas' son."
"Yes, Tan!"
Mama Ami and Aunt Melly walk ahead of Anna because they still have to visit the boarding gate for the last stage of boarding the plane.
Before Anna entered the departure gate. The girl looked at Abbas for a moment, about to say goodbye to the handsome man.
"Anna, farewell, Bang! Assalamu'alaikum."
"Waalaikumsalam, Wait, An!" Abbas took Anna.
"Why, Bang?"
The handsome young man who dared to ask Mama Ami's blessing, raised his hand and took off the ring that was circular on his little finger. For twenty years, the ring was there. The only possession of his late mother.
"Remove your hand" Abbas said to Anna. As soon as the girl raised her hand, raised her palm and Abbas grabbed it and put the small object he had taken off his fingers.
Anna pulled her hand back. "What is this, Bang?" anna asked confusedly.
"That's my mother's ring, all this time it's never been out of this closet." Abbas fingered his little finger, Anna noticed that.
"Why did you give Anna?" asked Anna curiously.
"Because you are special to me, before you answer my sermon, I have not dared to put it on your fingers. Right now I just want you to keep it as proof that you're really serious about you, Dek! Abang promised to follow you to Surabaya," said Abbas assured the hijab girl
Anna nodded softly with a blushing face as she was flattered by the words of the man who had long controlled her heart.
"Adek wait, Abang in Surabaya." replied Anna with a blushing face making Abbas smile sumringah.
"Yes, Abang promised to finish the work here soon to follow and justify you." again the heart will be made to fly because of Abbas's words.
"Be careful, tell your brother when you arrive. May your health improve quickly too! You have to be a booster in their problems. I'm sure you can."
"Thank you, Bang. Anna's saying." Anna bowed a little and then turned and walked away leaving Abbas, who was still loyal, to let go. Arriving at the departure gate, Anna looked back at Abbas who was still standing in his place.
Anna's farewell smile was given to the man who owned her heart.
Behind Anna's grief was the happiness she received. The pashmina-hooded girl stepped over while clutching the fingers clenched in the ring inside. He will keep the good gift of Abbas. Anna will also wait for Abbas' promise to follow him.

"Come on, how are you?" greet Anna while grabbing the hand of the maid and then regretting it.
"Good news, Nope! Thank God Non Anna is more beautiful, hopefully more and more istiqomah with religion and hijab yes, Non!" said Bi Imah who looked amazed at the figure of the girl he used to care for has now changed beliefs, her appearance was even more beautiful with a hijab and covered clothes.
"God willing, Bi! pray Anna is a good Muslim."
"Amin, Auntie pray, Non!"
Bi Imah helps bring luggage into the house. Not much stuff they brought.
"You better rest first, it's night." Mama Ami glances at Aunt Melly and Anna. "Mel, sorry to bother you," Mama Ami looked at Aunt Melly.
"Don't talk like that, Mi! we are brothers so there is no need to worry. I'll even trouble you in the next few days by staying here." Aunt Melly laughed a little.
"Tan, I'll go to the room first, okay?" the farewell to Aunt Melly. "Mama also do not forget to rest, tomorrow morning we meet Papa together," said Anna made Bi Imah sculpt to hear it.
Because Bi Imah never divulged about the arrest of Papa Reno to Mama Ami or Anna. Currently, He chose to be silent if Mama Ami did not ask him.
Mama Ami smiled in response to the words of Aunt Melly.
"No way, unless you ask me to take a bath and dress up like Rayyan da Riska when I was a kid on vacation here!" reply Mama Ami.
"You're there, Mi! amused in your bath? still mending in shower mas Anwar deh!" chirps Aunt Melly.
"Mel, pervert!" mama Ami's Cibir.
Aunt Melly laughed crisply. "I'll take a break, yeah, Mi!" he told Mama Ami that "Her room has been cleaned?" asked Aunt Melly in a slightly high voice so that Bi Imah heard it.
"Already, Mom!" sahut Bi Imah then helped bring a bag belonging to Aunt Melly into his room.
With the arrival of Aunt Melly with them to Surabaya, can make Mama Ami and Anna a little laugh because the attitude of Aunt Melly sometimes can not be guessed until it can eliminate a little sadness in the taste of Mama and the child.
