Sincerity of Love JONATHAN
101. One time chance
"I don't know, Mi, try to find it on the internet later" Joe suggested after a few minutes, because he did not get the name of the demon in his brain. "Keep, what's the Syifa problem? Mama didn't, did she, ask me to divorce her? I love Syifa so much, Mi."
Joe talked back about the purpose of their conversation, so as not to be widened everywhere.
"Your story isn't finished yet, Joe, go on."
"Which story? The one about demons?" guess Joe.
"No!" Mami Yeri shook her head.
"Continue what? Everything I've told you, the beginning of where I want to convert to Islam, Mi."
"The reason you and Syifa finally intend to get engaged and get married. She said Syifa rejected you, and so did her Abinya." This time, Mami Yeri must know everything, especially about the thing that Joe has been covering up all this time. He did not want to, again disappointed because he was lied to.
That's enough once, and I don't want any more.
"Oh, if about that because I was initially slandered by some of Abi Hamdan's neighbors, Mi. They thought that Syifa and I were perverts. But actually not."
"Make perverted?" Mami Yeri's forehead looked flinched. "What is your position and Syifa again? A kiss?"
"No." Joe shook his head quickly. "I wanted to see Ustad Yunus, but he asked us to make his agreement in front of the mosque. The mosque was located near Abi Hamdan's house. Then I accidentally heard .. If Syifa is constipated, and as a real man, of course I bring medicine and fruit for her, so that her pain goes away, Mi. Kan pity ... beautiful time of pooping distress?"
"That means you came to Mr. Hamdan's house? To see Syifa, is that it?" guess Mami Yeri.
Joe nodded quickly. "But when I came home, Abi Hamdan and Umi Maryam were not home, Mi. They go in the car if it's not wrong."
"Oohh .. So you met Syifa on purpose when her parents didn't exist. And you sosor him that? Until the neighbor's slandered?" mami Yeri suspected with a fierce look.
"No, Mi!" refute Joe. Though he had said that he did not act perverted, but the woman did not seem to believe. "Absolutely I had no thoughts for Syifa nyosor at that time, my intention was just to deliver medicine and fruit."
"Why then did the neighbors of Syifa slander you? You only deliver fruit and medicine. It doesn't make sense!" Mami Yeri snorted. For a long time his emotions went back up, hearing Joe's explanation that was not included in his health.
"Fire stick?" Mami Yeri stared confusedly with bulging eyes in shock. "What wand, Joe?"
"My baseball bat, Mi," Joe directly touched his own.
"Don't be weird, Joe, where there's a fire stick!" mami Yeri's nagging is angry.
"Seriously, Mi, just where I came to Syifa's house. I don't know what the cause is."
"Indeed, you fit into Abinya Syifa's house is not wearing pants what is it? And time, anyway, a male stick spitting fire? Did the dragon think?" It's strange! That word that came back crossed Mami Yeri's brain. Totally out of reason.
"I'm wearing pants, Mi" Joe replied. "But the origin of the fire is not from my own wand that gushed."
"Continue from where? When someone suddenly fires his baton for no reason? Don't worry about you, Joe!" the Berang Mami Yeri.
"That's a reality. And Syifa pulled me. Bringing in his room and—"
"Sparking?" sela Mami Yeri guessed.
"No!" Joe shook with his rebuttal. "He took me to his room and into the bathroom in the room, to help me put out the fire. Maybe when Syifa and I entered the house. And there was a slander" Joe added.
"Hahoo ...." Mami Yeri suddenly let out a rough breath, then shook her head. Suddenly he also felt his head twitching which made him massage his forehead.
"What I'm saying is all honest, Mi. It may sound absurd, but that's exactly what happened" Joe said.
"But whatever happened, let it be, Mi. The most important thing now .. Your son is married again, not become a widower. Robert also already has a new Mommy that suits his wishes. So now ... is the time to be happy and to accept everything" Joe said. He slowly touched the back of Mami Yeri's hand, then pulled her and kissed her briefly.
"Once again I want to apologize, to Mami and also to Papi. For all the lies I've been telling you all along. But I promise ..I will never do anything like that again. Mami and Papi should also be sure .. if I ...." Joe touched his chest, then again said in as gentle a tone as possible. "If I were, it would still be Jonathan the son of Mami and Papi. Forever will not change. But I beg .. please accept Syifa again to be your daughter-in-law. Give me and Syifa a one-time chance to raise a family with your blessing."
...Ayok replied, Mi 😔...
