That Woman

🥰🥰Happy Reading🥰🥰

Ningrum got all wrong, he wanted to leave but was afraid Aunt Mariam felt strange, if she remained here she felt awkward because there was Abi, her former student who was now growing up.

"Why stay there? Here baby, sit next to Auntie."

"M. sorry Auntie, interrupt it." Ningrum said nervously.

"Well, this is Auntie's son, you knew her this morning, didn't you? If Abi is a Auntie's son, and Nak Ningrum was Abi's former high school teacher, right? Abi told me a lot about Ms. Ningrum."

"I. yeah, Aunt." His words were nervous, when he knew the truth of himself in the eyes of Aunt Mariam.

Abi who was staring fixedly at himself did not blink, making Ningrum more and more misbehavior.

"Honey, Mama wants to talk to Nak Ningrum, can you come out for a second, baby? It seems, Mother Ningrum is uncomfortable having you here."

"Yes, Mama." Sahut Abi was short while leaving the two of them.

"Come, Miss teacher." Pamit Abi was friendly, smiling and bowing her head slightly.

"I. yes." Sahut Ningrum nervous.

Abi left The two of them with happy feelings, how unhappy, the two people he missed the most, were nearby now.

"What's the matter with Ningrum, baby." Mama Mariam asked, as they were sitting together on the bed.

"Begini Aunty, said Mr. Kiai big, Mr. Ustad Faris can not teach for the next week, he said there are family affairs in Jember where his parents live."

"That means Ustad Faris's lesson hours, for a week are empty?"

"Yes aunty, there is no replacement. Said Mr. Kiai, the task of Ustad Faris will be divided into hours of study, which has free time. Suppose today aunty is free, can fill the hour. Then if Ningrum has free time, can also fill the empty hours Mr. Ustad Faris."

"Yes, that means we'll be busy filling the gap in Ustad Faris's lesson hours?"

"Well, you could say that, Auntie."

"All right then, baby. Thanks for the information.

"Yes Auntie, excuse me first."

"Yes Nak Ningrum, baby."

Ningrum exited the door of Aunt Mariam's room, as she was about to go to the kitchen, her neutrals caught Abi who was pouring drinking water in a glass. "Eeeh.." Ningrum said in surprise, Abi immediately turned to the direction of the voice.

"Mother teacher? What was? Why are you so surprised? Did you see a ghost?" Abi asked, teasing him.

"What's? A ghost? There's also a handsome man who's like the Prince on horseback, Abi." Bathin Ningrum.

"Mother daydreaming huh?" Abi asked, as he waved his hand in front of Ningrum's face.

"I. that's eeeh e. engga, Abi." Ningrum said nervously.

"That's what, Miss teacher?" Ask Abi curiously.

"I. That, I want to cook for lunch, Abi." Said Ningrum honestly, with lips trembling nervously.

"Oohs.. "That's all Abi said, but the net still drew a sharp Ningrum's face, which looked embarrassed and lowered its head.

"I'm sorry Abi, please take your eyes off, we are not believers, so in our religion, it is forbidden to look for more than 3 seconds." Ningrum said firmly, without taking his eyes off the slightest, from his lowered face.

"Eeh. Yes, teacher, I'm sorry." Abi said so misbehaved, then the net shifted to another place.

"I. yes Abi, equally I am also sorry." Ningrum said nervously.

"Teacher Abi's mother wants to go to Mama's room first, sorry for my attitude earlier, means if you want to look at Mother Ningrum for more than three seconds, must be the first teacher?" Abi asked teasingly, without seeing Ningrum's face, then Abipun left Mother Ningrum who was still unmoved.

"Haah? What does his word mean? Is it possible that Abi is still expecting me? I'm a widow, but she still wants me? Although I am a widow, I have not been touched by my husband. Why do I expect more? You've started to go crazy Ningrum!" Bathinya.

Abi's words were still ringing in his head Ningrum, he really did not believe the words of Abi just now, who was his former student's genius child.

"Sister, why daydream there? Until he didn't realize, there's an older brother Umi coming." Tanya Madinah who is Sister-in-law of Ningrum.

"What are we cooking now?" Ask Umi Khadijah.

"Cooking vegetable lodeh, and egg balado only, how?" Kak Madinah's Proposal.

"By Brother." Ningrum.

"Yes that's okay too, very easy." Umi Khadijah.

"Alright let's prepare the ingredients, and we'll execute immediately." Said Kak Madinah excited, while removing the ingredients from the refrigerator.

Finally they cook casually, while having a warm conversation as they usually do.

Upon Abi's return from the kitchen, Abi again laid his body in the lap of Mama Mariam. Abi started telling stories about the woman he once liked, and loved up to this point to Mama Mariam. But Abi did not mention the name of the woman, because Abi did not want Mama Mariam to be shocked if she knew the name of the woman.

"Do you really love her, baby?"

"Yes, Mama."

"But he's married, can't you find a single woman, dear? You're young, and you're very handsome, baby. Out there, there must be a lot of women who want to be your wife."

"But love cannot be imposed on you, love knows no caste, love knows no age, and love knows no status."

"What you said is true, but you're still very young to be married, baby."

"If Abi had to wait any longer, Abi would be afraid that she would be married to someone else again, Mama."

"From that moment you said the woman kept on, never mentioned her name. If you can tell, what's the woman's name, baby?"

"So I'm not ready Mama knows, then when it's time Mama will know for herself."

"Heeem.." Only a mutter could be heard from Mama Mariam's mouth. He felt strange about the love of his son, who only liked the woman who was a widow.

"Dear baby, are you in college tomorrow?"

"Mama's 2-week holiday, just finished the semester a week ago. What's the matter with Mama asking about college?"

"Well, if you go to college, you're going to have to go back to Kossan, right?"

"Yes Mam, but Abi's permission to stay here for two weeks. If Abi's vacation is over, Abi will return to kossan in Jakarta."

"Okay, baby."

*******

"Son Abi, does Nak Abi feel at home here?" Ask Mr. Kiai, when they after praying magrib congregation.

"Keep Pak Kiai Zain."

"Did Abi, go to college?"

"Yes, Mr. Kiai Zain."

"That means Nak Abi is going to college tomorrow?"

"I'm two weeks off for Mr. Kiai's semester."

"Oooh... It just so happens that Nak Abi can help Pak Kiai?"

"If I may know, what help is Mr Kiai?"

"Help Mr. Kiai to teach the children of students santriwati, because this week Ustad Fariz returned to Jember, there is a family need."

"Haah.. become Santriwati's teacher? What can I do? Maybe I should try it first." Bathin Abi monologue.
