"Married to me!" said someone who was standing in front of Khadija.
Khadija stopped her crying, her face looked up to make sure someone was talking to her.
"Mas Doctor?" muttered Khadija surprised. However, the person in question was still faithfully standing looking straight ahead, turning his back to the girl.
"I've heard it all!" hafiz turned his body towards Khadija. With both hands in the pants pocket.
"What do you mean Doctor?"
"Even if you marry me, I will pay off all your family's debts."
"How is it possible to marry without love?"
"That's what I want, because this marriage is only temporary. What's your relationship with Aslan?"
" Me and Mas Aslan have nothing to do, are just regular friends."
"Good! So I hope you think of this offer from me. I'm waiting for your answer after work."
Hafiz soon passed leaving Khadija who was still sitting pensively digesting all Hafiz's statements.
*****
It has been a month, but Hafiz has not found a way out to deal with his problems. For this time Hafiz did not tell his friends the problem.
According to Hafiz there will be a furore if Aslan and Dio find out if he has the intention to get married. Even if it is not her wish and only a temporary marriage.
Hafiz seemed to be pacing around in his room, after this morning he was urged by his father to meet his prospective fiancee.
Khadija, Hafiz's only hope of thwarting his match. At the moment Khadija is the right person to work with.
In addition to the innocent girl Khadija, but also the problem of the girl who backgrounded Hafiz to do a deal that is Symbiosis Mutualism.
That way no one will demand each other in the future, if one day between them someone decides to leave.
*****
In the same location, but in a different room, Khadija who since last night seemed always restless after receiving a phone call from someone who was none other than her own mother.
" O God, give Dija a way out, Dija does not want if Mom and Aisyah become victims." said Khadija raised her hands and head.
Aisyah is Khadija's sister who is still sitting in the High School.
"Son Dija, please take this to dr. Hafiz." Bu Wiwik's voice resuscitated Khadija.
"Let's go, Mom?" It is the duty of Khadija to deliver a cup of coffee to dr. Hafiz.
Geck... Geck... Geck...
There was no reply from someone inside, Khadija went straight in. I saw dr. Hafiz sat on his big chair with his face down, both palms supporting his forehead, with elbows resting on the table.
Byurrs...
dr. Hafiz was shortened when a coffee spill doused her thigh.
"It can work!" The Hafiz snap on Khadija.
"I'm sorry my doctor did not accidentally" replied Khadija stuttered while trying to wipe the remaining coffee spill in Hafiz's pants using a handkerchief that he took out of his pants pocket.
"Don't touch me!" Hafiz's hand brushed off Khadija's hand trying to clean her pants." Get out of my room!" drive Hafiz to the girl.
Khadija could only silently duck, then he inched backwards after cleaning up the spilled coffee that was scattered on the table and on the floor. Khadija brought back the empty cup.
Just this time Khadija saw Hafiz that angry at him. So complete is the sorrow in Khadija's heart.
Although Hafiz was a nobody to Khadija, Hafiz was a person who had contributed in his life.
"You don't have papa, do you?" tanya Leni held Khadija's arm. Leni sees something wrong with Khadija.
Again Khadija shook her head and smiled wryly answering Leni's question. "Ndak papa Len."
" Did Mas Aslan hurt you?" Leni is suspicious of Khadija's change of attitude after returning home with Aslan.
"Ndak kok Len, Mas Aslan is good. I'm just missing my mom and my brother in the village." elak Khadija covered up the problem.
Even to fill his stomach, Khadija was no longer lustful. All he had in mind was the shadow of his Mother and Sister.
Khadija moved from her seat after receiving a message from Leni, who had been looking for her.
Khadija was in Musholla. Because it is not the hour for prayer so Musholla looks lonely and no one knows where it is.
Along the way to the Nutrition Room, Khadija was required to cross with Hafiz who would go to the canteen, because it was a road that was only one lane.
Hafiz's flat face was always focused on looking straight ahead, The man did not care about Khadija's whereabouts. Unlike Khadija who still looks scared when dealing with Hafiz.
***
Half an hour later, it shows the end of working hours is over. Khadija and Leni are getting ready to go home.
When he was about to go to the locker to pick up the bag, Khadija's phone rang again. Khadija saw the name of the contact on the yellow screen of his phone.
After confirming who the caller was, Khadija again moved away to just pick him up.
"Len, I'll pick up the phone first, okay?" pamitnya to Leni.
Khadija immediately ran to the back of the Hospital warehouse, so that the conversation could not be heard by anyone.
"Assalamualaikum Buk,e. "greet Khadija when picking up her phone.
"(..........)"
" Sorry Dija Bu'e, Dija has not received a loan. Dija is confused who should borrow that much money? "
" (.........)"
" Dija also does not want our house confiscated by the Bank. Where does Aisyah want to live? "
" (.........)"
"But Bu'e calm down yo, Dija promises to get the money soon," Mata Khadija has started to tear up.
"(..........)"
"Dija closed the phone first Buk, this Dija already want to go home, Assalamualaikum." Khadija immediately ended his conversation. She did not want her mother to hear her cries.
"Huuu.... Huuu....Huuuuuu. "Khadija's cries broke and her body was sitting limp in a used chair that was thrown behind the hospital warehouse.
Hafiz deliberately followed Khadija, suspicious of Khadija running to the back of the barn.
The man overheard Khadija's conversation with his mother.
"The shoots at Cinta ulam have arrived." A proper proverb to represent the answer to Hafiz's baldness.
"Bagain eat fruit simalakama." The right proverb for Khadija. Really Khadija's brain is currently not functioning properly, he is confused whether to refuse or accept the offer from the Cuey Man.
And now the time given by Hafiz to think about the waiter is only until the hours of work.
Khadija looked at the clock on her phone.
"That means five minutes to go" Khadija murmured to himself. Khadija reflexively covered her slightly gaping mouth, surprised by the current situation.
Trial brings Blessing or Blessing brings Trial!
