The Love Story of the Dampit Family
Past Times
After the wedding reception Anjani finished, Arjuna got a call from the cottage, so that tomorrow morning must have arrived at the cottage. So, Arjunapun immediately sent a message to Azizah.
"If it is indeed Zizah my soul mate, this meeting is not a coincidence." Arjuna.
📨Zizah
Assalamualaikum. I must immediately return to the cottage in Ponorogo, can we meet this afternoon? If anti wants to talk.
Not long ago, the message was answered.
📩Zizah
Can mas. In the shop in front of the campus where the college used to be. Sehati shop.
📨Zizah
Ok
Not waiting long, Arjun went to the tavern in question. As he was about to enter the tavern, he saw Zizah coming out from inside.
"Assalamualaikum mas Juna." said Azizah.
"Wa'alaikumsalam Zizah."
"Please sit down. What's the pesen?" ask Azizah while giving a menu list.
"Ehm, just a cappuccino." replied Arjuna.
"Eat it?"
"Get it, I'm still full."
"Okey."
While waiting for the order to come, Azizah sat across from Arjuna. They take a sitting position in the corner of the room, so as not to be disturbed and passers-by.
"Ehm, Zizah, what story do you want?" ask Arjuna.
"Ehm.. where did you start" Azizah said as her index finger played on her chin.
"Ehm...Is Juna married yet? I guess not yet?" ask Azizah later.
Arjuna smiled wryly. It reminded him again of the incident six months ago, when his love ran aground when the buds had begun to bloom.
Arjun.
"Ehm, what about anti?" ask Arjuna.
Azizah had not yet answered Arjuna's question, Arjuna's order had arrived.
"You ain't mesen?" ask Arjuna.
Azizah smiled, and shook her head.
"This is my business, this store where I scavenge fortune" said Azizah.
"Oh..." Arjuna can only do Oh.
For a few minutes, the two were silent.
"Ehm, sorry, anti haven't answered my question" Arjuna said.
"Huh? Oh, um.. I. I've widowed a mas." said Azizah bowed softly.
"Joint?" ask Arjuna not to believe it.
"Yes. Not too long ago" said Azizah.
"Ehm, why? Because of death or.." asked Arjuna doubtfully, but wanted to know.
"Because he divorced me. He prefers his past woman to mine" Azizah said.
"Ehm... is that it?" Arjuna did not dare to comment.
"We used to be betrothed" Azizah said.
Arjuna is not flinching.
"Abi who betrothed us, until finally we married, and lived the household ark for two years" said Azizah.
"Have you been anti-marriage for a long time?" ask Arjuna.
"Yes mas. I was only in the sixth semester" Azizah said.
"Two years of marriage, she didn't give me the inner living at all. We're LDRans. Since I was in college, I couldn't go with him. Until we had to be far apart. And for some reason, two years of marriage, she suddenly handed me the divorce papers" Azizah said with a stifled cry.
"Patience." said Arjuna.
"Mas.." call Azizah.
"I'm sorry before, if there will be a word I'm less pleased with" said Azizah.
"Ehm.yeah."
"Mas..honestly, since the beginning we met time in the mosque, I already have the same feeling mas Juna" said Azizah bowed.
Arjuna prepared with Azizah's statement.
"But.when I heard that Juna was studying abroad, I tried to get rid of it" said Azizah whose voice was blocked.
"Then, because Abi is a typical person who does not like to wait, when there is a study friend said he wanted to marry his son to an abi child, who is none other than me, I ended up being betrothed to him. I thought he would love me, but in the middle of the road, he was unable to live this relationship in harmony. He is still obsessed with his girlfriend, and he insists on marrying his girlfriend" Azizah said in tears.
"Until one day, she was really mad at me because I couldn't dress as pretty as a woman in general" Azizah said.
Arjuna just silently listened to all the stories of Azizah, the beautiful girl who was pious at that time. Now the girl turned into a woman who is good at decorating also with a hijab that is not as wide as before.
"After the divorce, I began to concern myself with doing business, opening businesses as much as I could. And abi also agreed and supported me. This time, Abi does not want to match me again, he wants me to find a mate according to my wishes. Abi was traumatized by yesterday's incident that happened to me. And, when he came to his alma mater, the Lord God commanded my prayer. I want to see you mas." said Azizah bowed.
Arjuna took a deep breath and let out his slowly. Arjuna was completely shocked by Azizah's confession and revelation of her past. The girl he thought was a lucky girl, who would always be happy with the way her life was, because of her sincerity, just behind that she harbored deep sorrow.
"Mas... Ziziah... Zizah is still.." said Azizah who was still stuck in the esophagus. It felt like he was heavy to express his heart.
"If Zizah wants to, take a stand with me" Arjuna said suddenly in a cold manner.
"A..what? Ms...mas Juna...?" Azizah stammered unable to speak fluently.
Arjuna turned to Azizah, and looked at the two eyes that were still wide in disbelief.
Arjuna smiled sweetly and nodded.
"Married to me. I will try to be a good priest for you. I will try to guide you back to the old Azizah, who always appeared shar'i with your long headscarf. With your beautiful robe, softly said you, with your shameful make up" said Arjuna staring at Azizah.
Azizah still does not believe, the intention he invites Arjuna to confide because indeed he wants to preach Arjuna, he does not care what people say, women propose to men first. What he believes is that, ready to be ready, he must dare to express his wishes, even though the results will be very painful for him. He is also ready for heartbreak. However, unexpectedly, it was Arjun who asked for it.
During that scene, the music from the radio sounded according to their mood.
*) Duhai Girl Ayu
Now you're more graceful
With your long veil
Why however
Your face looks shabby
As if to save grief
Do not be late
In your grief
Even if the world leaves you
ALLAH is with you...
back to *)
Chorus :
Don't you be sad
With which you choose
Tuk is getting better
Even if he's gone
Leave you alone
Make sure you regret
Don't you be sad
With which you choose
Tuk is getting better
Even if he's gone
Leave you alone
Do not cry
The love that came before
Don't make you hesitate
It's all pseudo
The true love
Never hurt
That is DIVINE love
Interludes
[Chorus]
Duhai Girl Ayu
Now you're more graceful
With your long veil
Smile always
Look at your chakrawalam
Which will no longer be gray...

"I'll come propose to you, ba'da maghrib later. Before I go back to the cottage." said Arjuna who was already standing and was about to leave.
Azizah was surprised again,
"Mas Juna is serious?" ask Azizah.
"Yes, I'm serious" said Arjuna.
Azizah nodded.
"Yes, I will tell you the same abi" said Azizah with a red face. Arjuna could not see the diamond in front of him, he lowered his gaze and went home.
"Assalamualaik." Hail Arjuna.
"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Azizah cirih.
