After nearly seven hours of traveling, Shanum and Abizar finally arrived at the planned social service location. The place is indeed a bit remote and you have to pass through pine forests and the area is at the foot of Mount Godog. But enter the village.
The road is quite good even though the asphalt has several damaged parts but it is still suitable for vehicles to pass.
When they arrived at the village office there the buses were already parked and the participants got off the bus. When Abizar's car arrived, Denaya immediately jogged towards Haidar behind him, although he was not as enthusiastic as Denaya.
"Sis, how can you be with Sisum? You know, I better go with my brother, ”Denaya grumbled, not accepting his prospective fiancée leaving with another woman.
Abizar seemed to hold back his irritation. " If you weren't sneaky, Shanum wouldn't be left behind, ” he said in a loud enough voice that made almost all the participants hear. M
The next morning the activity started again with a morning exercise led by the wife of the village head who happened to be good at the gymnastics movement. Moreover, the gymnastics activity that morning was accompanied by Bollywood songs which of course became entertainment for the participants. Not infrequently they laughed at Mrs. Kades's clever moves that were difficult for them to follow.Denaya just stood in the back row, folding his hands in front of his chest when she saw Shanum and Abizar, who looked cool following the gymnastics movement which she thought was unclear. She also glanced at Haidar, who looked backward and looked tired. At first, the man was standing to the left of Shanum while Abizar was to the right of Shanum. Like a love triangle. " Doctor Haidar, ” she exclaimed when Haidar passed her.Haidar turned and smiled a little, "why, Nay?"“Doctor Shanum and Doctor Abizar are close. Doctor Haidar is not jealous? " asked Denaya with raised eyebrows
Shanum looked at the sky above his head which was getting dark. The gray color seemed to indicate that soon the sky would shed its tears. At first, he just wanted to take a walk around the village hall to release fatigue as well as avoid his jealousy which began to feel excessive when she saw Denaya and Abizar who were getting closer. The feeling in his heart grew more and more, making her sure as much as possible if this really loved. Not just ordinary love like what she felt at Haidar first. It is much more than that.But the more Shanum set foot. She felt increasingly foreign by his surroundings. There are only pine trees and shrubs. Even though as she remembered earlier she was walking between the plantations of bananas, cassava, and tubers. The woman looked back where there were only trees and the atmosphere looked so dark. Maybe it was because there were many tall trees around him so that the sun's light that was getting dimmer could no longer illuminate the place she wa
A warm feeling creeps over Abizar's body when Shanum hugs her so tightly. This woman's body was very cold and shaking violently as if to show that she was really scared right now. Abizar rubbed Shanum's wet back, trying to calm the woman in his arms. He also led Shanum to sit back on the long chair which was strong enough to support both of them. " Thank God I can find you. You don't know how scared I was when Haidar said you were lost. Moreover, the environment here is foreign to us. "Shanum nodded in Abizar's arms. " When I was here, I was afraid I was completely lost and that you wouldn't be able to find me. ""Do not say like that."Shanum shook his head slowly. " I just keep praying here. And I promised myself, Mas. ""Promise what?""I will tell you the truth. Even though it might be too late. But I'm afraid I can't say at all. " Shanum broke his hug and looked at Abizar who was in front of him.Abizar's gaze reflected that the man was very
The next day after Haidar informed Shanum about the mediation that would be carried out from the police this afternoon, Keanu and Haidar picked up Shanum at his apartment. They also went together to the police station.There, Kinara and her parents were already in a special room for mediation between the reporter and the reported. Kinara gave a sarcastic look as Shanum, Keanu and Haidar walked into the room.Then they sat on chairs and were separated by a long table. There are two policemen there who will mediate."Okay. Let's just start because everything is complete. "……………Early in the morning, Abizar left for Bandung to meet his parents. At first, he wanted to go straight to Bandung after Garut, but because he came home with Denaya, he couldn't help but have to escort the woman to his house. Because yesterday he was too tired to go through the nearly nine-hour journey back to Jakarta and for some reason with Denaya, the time was actually slower and
Denaya glanced at Richardo who was now sitting beside her. She had hoped that this man would not come after she contacted her and told her about all the problems that had happened in her family. But in fact, the man instead came in a style that seemed like a hero. Even though this problem exists because of him.After a brief conversation with his father, Richardo said he intended to be accountable for his actions and was ready to marry Denaya as soon as possible. But what's getting in the way is the matchmaking that Denaya is doing.Until finally this afternoon they were already on their way to Bandung, the residence of Januar and Jasmine — Denaya's future in-laws. Or ex-prospective in-laws?Amel and Randu sat in the front seat while Richardo and Denaya were in the back seat. Nobody talks to each other. Denaya, either, turned his head out of the window and was not at all interested in getting Richardo to talk. Especially seeing the man's behavior as a gentleman. Ev
On his way to Jakarta, Abizar couldn't stop smiling when the image of Shanum crossed his head. He had imagined that Shanum would smile to greet him later. He couldn't wait to tell the woman about the good news for them. he has got the blessing to bring Shanum to meet her parents after her problems with the Denaya family are over. That night, Denaya returned to Jakarta even though his parents had offered them to stay overnight. But they refused, maybe already embarrassed. Denaya did not say much and he was decided to continue KOAS at another hospital that seemed to be out of town in order to cover up the shame of being pregnant. Of course with Richardo. Maybe it was done by Denaya's parents to provide a deterrent effect and lessons for their daughters.Abizar chose not to comment. At first, he would forgive Denaya and let him continue KOAS in his hospital but if Denaya's family decided to move the woman's KOAS activities, Abizar would not argue. The advantage was that Denaya co
Early in the morning, Shanum was ready to leave for Bandung. She is just waiting to be picked up. The plan was for Abizar and Keanu to take their respective cars. So later on, Shanum will share a car with Abizar and Haidar with Keanu. Shanum doesn't mind it.Shanum prepared her best clothes to meet Abizar's parents later as well as her future in-laws, even if Abizar's parents accepted her.Shanum let out a long sigh. She was really scared. Afraid if Abizar's parents could not accept her, especially if she was married, even if only in unison. But she tries to believe Abizar, who she says will convince her parents and say that they will accept her.Around six in the morning, Abizar informed her that the man was downstairs with Keanu and Haidar, who were also taking leave. Maybe the hospital people will be surprised because they took time off together. Or they must have already known the plans she and Abizar are planning to get married shortly. Although lately, Shanum
That night, Shanum, Keanu, Abizar, Haidar and Abizar's parents started making grilled fish in the front yard of their future parent-in-law Shanum's house. For the first time, Shanum felt warmth in the family he had just recognized. He hopes that this warmth will continue until later and beyond.Moreover, Jasmine treated Shanum very well. The woman asked a lot about Shanum's favorite. What color does she like, what food she likes, and what dishes can Shanum make. Fortunately, from the beginning, Shanum was good at cooking. So she didn't bother answering all of Jasmine's questions. Jasmine also felt very helped when Shanum helped her with the fish and make spices. Jasmine knows that Shanum is a very good future daughter-in-law. Abizar never made the wrong choice."Here you eat first," said Abizar who handed a plate of grilled fish to Shanum."Together with the others later, Mas.""It's okay. Just go ahead. There's still a lot of fish."Jasmine who is sitt
After Shanum and Abizar returned home, they immediately took a break to maintain their stamina for the long journey tomorrow night."Would you like to make coffee?" Shanum asked when she saw Abizar leaning back on her bed."No need, honey. After all, I can't sleep early. We're going to have a long trip tomorrow.""Yes, too." Shanum then went to his closet and took a suitcase to pack his clothes and Abizar's clothes."Aren't you tired, just packing right away?" asked Abizar, who left his place and intended to help his wife."Not yet sleepy yet, Mas. So let's just relax tomorrow."Abizar nodded in agreement. He also helped Shanum put their clothes into the suitcase. Abizar remembered something and immediately took it from his briefcase. "Oh, yes. Here." Instead, he took out a medium-sized paper bag to his wife."What is this, Mas?" asked Shanum who looked confused.
"Num. Are you busy?" asked Keanu, who suddenly opened the door to Shanum's room. Making Shanum a little surprised because he was writing a medical record book belonging to his last patient."Mas ih! Greetings first grandfather. Just shocking." Shanum even grumbled. Luckily his heart is very healthy.Keanu even smiled amused. "Assalamualaikum." He also complied with the wishes of his friend."Waalaikumsalam." Shanum finally smiled. "Why is that, Mas? I just finished practicing anyway.""Uh, yes, tomorrow you want to take a honeymoon leave. You must be busy packing, right?" asked Keanu."Not really. It's just relaxing, after all, it's night. What's wrong?""Let's go with Haidar," said Keanu, making Shanum's forehead frown."What's wrong with Mas Haidar?""Troubled. Just broke up. Pity the person is staring at the park e
Haidar sighed and stirred his macchiato latte blankly outside the cafeteria window on the tenth floor. From here he can see a view of the city of Jakarta and the bustle of traffic jams on the highway. He was downhearted after a long and tiring night's service. Plus the relationship with Meta is still stuck and there hasn't been any development. Moreover, to convince Meta's parents that he could become a good priest for Meta, would be very difficult. Not sure yet, he was rejected outright.What's wrong with being a widower, anyway? Just having been married before doesn't mean he's a bad priest right? If it is the way to part, the period must be forced? Everyone's life path is different. Of course, all of that has been outlined by fate, right?"What's wrong? Troubled?" Keanu's voice made Haidar raise his head and grunt harshly.Menstruation chuckled, "it's really easy for you to say.""Why? What's the problem? Here, M
Shanum blinked when she heard the alarm sound. He also opened his eyes and tried to focus his gaze. His head turned to Abizar who was still fast asleep beside him. He stretched out his hand to move Abizar's burly arms that hugged his waist.The clock was still four in the morning. Shanum is used to getting up at this time. Especially since getting married and often doing bed activities with her husband. Of course, she has to take a bath, plus prepare breakfast for her husband. Troublesome? Not. Because this is lifelong worship for Shanum. And he did it sincerely.The woman who was almost twenty-six years old then got up and opened the curtains of her house which showed a blue sky. He then went into the bathroom and cleaned his body. Only then did he wake Abizar."Hmmm. Five more minutes," said Abizar hoarsely as Shanum rubbed his head and called out his name as usual. The woman's way is very gentle to wake her husband. Shanum never
One month after the wedding of Shanum and Abizar, they haven't gone on their honeymoon yet because of limited time off. Even though Abizar is the owner of the hospital where he works, Shanum doesn't want to be arbitrary with the power that her husband's family has. He still follows the existing regulations in the hospital including leave allowances and a schedule of leave that must take turns with other doctors.At first, Shanum was no longer interested in her honeymoon. After all, he was always with Abizar. They've done it often. For him, the honeymoon is only a difference in place when he 'does' what a newlywed usually does.As Shanum guessed, 'Abizar is strong'. She was overwhelmed by it. Even though he is lucky that he has about seven days off in a month, Abizar will stop doing it. Although in the end the man was grumpy on his own and clung to her.Tonight, Shanum has finished cooking the chicken opor and Balado potatoes accordi
Shanum looked at the screen of his cellphone which displayed a test pack image with two red lines on it. Also, the gratitude caption was written by Tiara. After two months of his marriage, his wife Keanu became pregnant immediately. Making Shanum happy to hear the news."Mas. Look. Tiara is already pregnant. Alhamdulillah," said Shanum with a smile that was clearly printed on her lips.Abizar smiled and then rubbed the top of his wife's head gently. "Later you will be so dear. We will love our grandchildren to our parents," he said with a meaningful smile.Shanum pursed her lips. "Yes, Mas. Yes, let's sleep. Tomorrow you go to work in the morning, right?"Abizar grabbed Shanum's hand so that the woman came closer to him and hugged him from behind. "Sorry, because I'm so busy because the surgery schedule is getting busy."Shanum smiled understandingly. Since a month after getting
Upon the return of Shanum and Abizar from Solo. They are getting busy with their wedding preparations again.Jasmine invited Shanum to go to a salon to get her face and body treated. Shanum feels like being with his own mother. Jasmine looks very fond of him like his mother used to love her."You are already beautiful. But you still need care, especially if you will become a wife. You know that actors are even more creepy. So you have to keep Abizar's eyes fixed on you," Jasmine said reminding her when she and Shanum were both scrubbing her whole body in a well-known salon. The massages on her body felt comfortable and immediately calmed their minds."Yes, Mom." Shanum swallowed his own saliva at the word someone who wants another husband. Even though she really believed that Abizar could not be like that."Abizar is exactly his daddy. They are both loyal but we don't know in the future. Mommy hopes that Abizar can
After a long process and a bit of the usual fuss finally, it will pay off with a wedding party that has been prepared in such a way. And immediately next week is the day Shanum has been waiting for. Namely his marriage to Abizar.Invitations have also been distributed, the building has also been ordered for food. Seserahan has been ordered. Just prepare yourself.There is one last wish of Shanum to Abizar before their marriage takes place. Namely visiting his father's grave - Yudha, as well as asking for blessings for the smooth running of their marriage later. It has been a long time since Shanum went to Solo to visit his father's grave, even though after every prayer, Shanum never forgot the prayer for his late father, Mother, and Mas Haikal.So today, Shanum and Abizar go to Solo. To shorten the time and effort, they departed by plane. Jasmine and Januar let out a smile for their two children. They also understood that Shanum mus
"Mom. Dad." Abizar hugged his parents when they met at the station. "How was the trip?""It's smooth. It's been a long time since I took the train," said Jasmine as she tucked her hair out of her headscarf. "Shanum. Come here, dear." She stretched out his hand on Shanum.Shanum smiled shyly and walked over to Jasmine and hugged her. "How are you, mom?""Alhamdulillah, it's fine. How do you guys prepare for the wedding? What's missing?" asked Jasmine, who looked enthusiastic."Let's go to the car first, mom. We'll tell you on the road. Or want to stop by for dinner first?" asked Abizar, dragging his parents' suitcase."You can. Mommy is also hungry. Mommy just wants traditional food. I think eating chicken penyet is good. I'm feeling dizzy." Jasmine held her own head."How can I not be dizzy. Every day I can't wait to come here and prepare for her son's wedding," said Januar, who was
