A Man's Self-Esteem Is Working

Let me be greedy

After prom night Husein took me home before driving me home Umi told me to stop by because there was a hand from cairo for me and my parents, Umi is always good if there is excess sustenance in the form of food he always shares it with the people he loves.

He always thought of me as his little girl just like Hasan to me. I sat in the guest room of Husein's house while she ran Umi in her room.

"Can we talk for a second?" The middle-aged man approached without any intention of sitting near me.

"May Abi, please" I said with a smile

"Not here, how about we go to the back garden?" The bargain is smooth.

"Good"

Abi and I walked together towards the garden behind this house, the sound of night insects accompanying us gave a calm atmosphere. We sat on a park bench overlooking the flower garden that Umi had been caring for.

The park is so beautiful with lots of flowers and there is a small pond clinging to the wall like a waterfall with small fish as a cooling enhancer as people look at it.

"How is your relationship with Hussein? What does Abi mean, how far along is your relationship?" Ask Abi.

"Our relationship is good - Abi insyallah we do not exceed the limits in living it"

"Abi believes in you, but not Husein! He's too passionate - he's too excited, Abi knows he loves you too much, Abi's afraid it's happening"

"Happened? Mean Abi??" I was amazed by Abi's words

"He won't be able to leave you, and that's what Abi was afraid of. His grandfather Husein in Cairo wanted Husein as the sole heir to continue his studies in Cairo as our usual tradition, with you, it will prevent Husein from going to Cairo, there is no way he will leave you"

"I will talk about this with Husein, he will definitely understand I will try to convince him Abi" I said giving a solution to the turmoil that Abi felt

"Can Abi ask for something?" Abi asked

"A what?" I began to doubt the direction of this conversation.

"Stay away from Husein for his own good"

DEG

I stared wide open with my mouth open.

Stay away from it but why? I just expressed love a few days ago, and I feel like this is why I have to face this kind of situation.

"K why Abi?" I asked in a stammer and a soft voice was almost inaudible

"I'm sorry if Abi gave a difficult choice but this is for the good of Husein, education is important Indri and our family has decided Husein will continue his education by studying in Cairo after his grandfather's request, and with you leaving Husein, Abi is sure that Husein will stay away and accept the offer of a college in Cairo"

"Although with the plan that Abi made would hurt Abi's own son?"

"Your love is only a momentary love of teenagers, maybe Husein will feel pain and heartbreak but Abi is sure time will heal him"

"Well if that's what Abi wants Indri will try it hopefully all in accordance with what Abi wants"

"Once again sorry with an indirect sensation maybe Abi does not approve of your relationship because Husein must bear the responsibility as the sole heir"

"Well my Abi excuse me, maybe Husein is looking for me to drive me home Asalamualaikum" I resigned with a weak body.

I puffed my face at the sky - the house sky was holding back the drip crystal circle several times I took a breath and exhaled it slowly trying to calm my heart.

Why it feels so crowded, I can't cry Husein is not mine Husein belongs to his master.

"Where are you feeling passion? I was looking for you in the future" asked Husein holding my left hand.

"Hehehehehe... later I will propose to Umi and Abi think - think if I whine dear no huh?" Hussein chuckled.

PLAQUES

Husein's shoulder was hit by a slap from Umi who apparently heard our conversation.

"Don't ask for something strange - Husein you've always been ignorant!" Umi said angry and anxious with the behavior of his son who is now just a puppet

We both laughed out loud until I finally fell silent because a pair of eyes from a distance were watching us.

"Yhmmpp.. Husein it's night I should go home, Umi indri pamit first huh?" I grabbed the back of Umi's right hand and kissed her with reverence.

"It's heart - heart on the road, oia this is a little fruit hands in the form of sweets and snacks for you and your parents" Umi gave a paper bag to my hands.

"Thank you Umi Indri pamit ya Asalamualaikum"

"Waalaikum greetings dear"

Arriving on the page of the house looks from outside the Mother and Father are busy chatting with a middle-aged husband and wife like the same age as Mother and Father.

"Well, can I come by?" Husein asked as I gave her the helmet I used to wear when Husein drove me to school on her big bike.

"Maybe next time Husein seems like Mom and Dad are having an sorry guest" I said

"Well baby, I'm home?" Husein stretched out his hand I just frowned in wonder

"Ride!" Husen's orders made me smile.

This boy has asked me to grab the hand of hussein and I kissed it with reverence like Umi had.

"It looks like I won't wudhu before going to bed so that the marks don't disappear" he said, looking at me

"Hey, don't change Husein's good habits"

"Alright, dear Asalamualaikum Humairah" Husein touched my head and ruffled my hair

"HUSEIN!!" This is an annoying habit that makes my heart warm and melt.

Husein turned on the engine and passed away, how can I leave you who always act sweet and warm to me if I can be greedy I do not want to leave you Husein.

"Asalamualaikum" I said my greetings when I got to the door.

"Waalaikumsalam" they answered in unison.

Turns out there are three guests and one more man if my guess is not wrong maybe about 25 years old. I salami everything and sit between Mom and Dad.

"Nduk tape? Bathing there used to be not late" said the mother who only returned a smile by me

"Here is a girl's shower at this hour and stinks" said the father close his nose.

Father is humorous compared to Mother I am closer to the Father even every Father sells his crops to the city I always come and accompany the Father. When I was in elementary school you used to accompany me to sleep, cut my nails, tie my hair and sometimes take me for walks with your ontel, now it's grown-up attention - that little attention is still there.

"Hmmpp menggeledek, Indri did not just take a bath fragrant sir" I kissed the cheek of the Father before running into the bathroom

"Let the Father smell the same" I said in the distance I heard laughter from the living room maybe they laughed at me who was still childish - kanakan when beside the Father.
