Am I In Your Heart

8. Solving Problems

At the end they left in an alfi car, khaira sitting next to the steering wheel while the two men sat in the back seat. khaira his feelings never calm considering what will happen next between Alfi and himself.

Arriving at the village hall office they immediately got out of the car and entered the village head's office.

One of the middle-aged men went to look for the whereabouts of the village chief.

khaira seemed so anxious that she was thinking about how she explained everything to the people there and what if they did not believe their explanation.

The day had already shown at 12:00 p.m., but the village chief and the people who were looking for him had not returned as well.

20 Minutes passed suddenly the sound of a motorbike coming from outside the office, shortly afterwards 2 men entered the office one of them was the village head while the other man went to meet the village head earlier.

Shortly afterwards again heard the footsteps of people approaching towards them. Khaira and everyone there were staring at the person.

DEG...

DEG....

DEG....

The khaira's heart beats so fast as he realizes who the person standing in front of the entrance is. A middle-aged man who is highly respected by khaira he is the khaira's father. and behind him there is also an older brother khaira whose age is not much different from Alfi. His father and brother stared intently at the khaira and stepped inside to approach him.

PPLAKKS.....

Everyone who was there was shocked to see what was happening.A slap floated on the left cheek of the khaira of his father, who was, even though the slap was not too hard but enough to give a mark to make his cheeks red.clear grains flowing over the cheeks khaira about his cheeks flushed. PERIH is what khaira felt but not comparable to the pain in his heart the most loved man that his father no longer believes in khaira.

" Pak calm down sir do not do violence we can talk about it carefully" said the village head trying to calm khaira father who is controlled by his anger. But khaira's father did not criticize what the village chief said, his mind was too frightened to think of his only daughter puppet doing actions beyond the limits of reasonableness.

" What you're doing is really embarrassing for me, you've ruined my trust with you, I let you go out of the house these nights because I'm sure and believe you can take care of yourself, but this is what happened you've disappointed me" said father khaira with emotions that burst his chest up and down because trying to stabilize his breath and himself who is being controlled by anger.

Khaira could only shut up and cry getting tantrums from her father.for the first time she saw her father so angry at her even making physical contact by slapping him. before his father khaira never hit or slapped him if he was angry with khaira but this time it is natural that his father was angry and even slapped him.

Where there is a father who is relaxed when he knows his son is doing things that deviate from religion. even though the khaira did not do it but with him arrested and taken to the village hall office of course everyone will think negatively about him even including his father.

Everyone was silent including Alfi who was sitting next to the khaira he just glanced at the khaira who was still crying his head was down.

" And you." said khaira's father again while showing his index finger towards Alfi. Tension back in the room, Alfi only glanced at khaira's father and then back down his head.

"cowardly man who can only approach my son then destroy his future, if you really want my son you have to come in front of me say it well if indeed you want to propose my daughter and I will consider her, I will consider her, if you really mean to marry her. "continue her again while staring intently at Alfi and khaira in turn.

"calm down, take a seat, we'll talk about this carefully, we have to ask them first about the truth who knows this is just a matter of understanding. " said the village head he again tried to calm the khaira father who is still controlled by his emotions.

" well we better sit down first we ask them well so that this problem is quickly resolved " continued khaira brother who stood beside his father while embracing his father to sit in a chair located near khaira.ia glanced towards Alfi he realized if he was being stared at by khaira brother.

Because of this incident, Alfi of course felt ashamed of khairul (sister khaira ), having the same profession as volleyball athletes of course they know each other and even played in one team when Alfi became a hired player in the team khairul. although Khairul is only a local volleyball athlete, his ability to play is also quite capable.

Khaira's father tried to regulate his breathing and then sat in a chair located near the khaira. followed by his older brother who sat next to khaira after he took one of the empty benches and put it there.be now khaira is in the middle of two men, namely among Alfi and Khairul.

"Well, from now on, please don't talk while I'm still talking" said the village chief everyone there just silently hearing the village chief's words, including khaira's father who looks a little calmer.

" What's your name, son?" the village chief asked Alfi

" Alfianda Rahman you may call me with the call of Alfi " replied Alfi was calm but all that could not cover his nervousness.

" Where are you from? " ask the village chief again

" I am from a big city sir "Afi replied without turning his head towards the village chief he still faithfully bowed his head.

" then why are you here? " asked the village chief again, he still continued to pay attention to Alfi who was still lowered

" I was hired by one of the teams who played in a volleyball tournament event here, to play on their team ", Alfi replied

" then why did you two get caught by these gentlemen?, they said when they saw you, you were in an inappropriate position then? "asked the village chief now his gaze looks like a policeman who is interrogating a criminal.

JLEEB.....

Alfi gulped his gulp violently when he got the question and such a gaze from the village chief.he tried to be calm and took his breath in deeply to calm himself. Alfi raised his face staring at the village head who was in front of him slowly he began to explain what was really happening.

" so gini sir..... " Alfi stopped her remark making everyone stare towards her including khaira's father and her older sister.

Then he continued his sentence after he felt a little calmer

" One week ago I and khaira met, we accidentally collided with each other which made HP khaira fall, accidentally I stepped on it to make his HP was badly damaged. keep khaira asking for compensation for damage to his HP, I received it and bring home HP khaira for me to fix there" said Alfi he again stopped his speech.

" then why were you guys in the car park even in an inappropriate position ?" asked one of the middle-aged men who had captured Alfi and Khaira.

" ituuu " Alfi opened his bag and took out a box containing HP for khaira and placed it in front of the table in front of them. khaira was shocked when he saw the HP box that Alfi placed on the table he was sure it was not his HP that wanted to be repaired by Alfi because the HP brand was better than his HP is broken.

" But the moment I wanted to get close to khaira to give this HP to khaira he instead retreated, the more I advanced he also rewinded his steps, the more, until finally he accidentally tripped a block that made him almost fall, at that time I wanted to help khaira not fall but because my position is not balanced I even fell with him " alfi explained

Actually Alfi approached khaira indeed to give HP it to khaira but because of the way Alfi looked and approached him make khaira think of negative things that would be done alfi, alfi, therefore he tried to distance himself from the reach of Alfi.

"Actually our bodies did not touch at all sir, because at the time I fell I supported my body with my hands so that our distance was quite far, sir, but because these gentlemen look at us from the back so we look like...like...eumm...like being.."Alfi hung his words to make everyone more and more observe him to hear what is next in Alfi, said,

" What-like? " ask the village chief to Alfi to continue his speech.The village chief smiled considering what Alfi would say next.

Alfi did not know how he continued his next remark because it must be very embarrassing. but because of the question from the village chief and the gazes of the people who were there inevitably he had to continue his speech.

"it's like doing something forbidden" said Alfi ended his explanation, her face reddened when saying her last words because of embarrassment.khaira who heard Alfi's speech lowered her head to cover her face which was also flushed.

Everyone who saw the face of Alfi and khaira who blushed uncontactably all laughed except for Alfi's father and brother their expressions remained the same flat even there was no smile there.

" What is it true that you said that? " khaira's father's voice made everyone who was laughing stop his laughter and look towards khaira's father.

" You didn't do anything to my daughter? " again, he stared intently at Alfi.

" It is true that I have done nothing to this khaira all pure misunderstanding " alfi said his head back lowered as he spoke to khaira's father because he got a sharp look from the middle-aged man that even he found it very difficult to swallow his saliva.

" father "call khaira he looked at his father's face with his puffy eyes.

" dad should believe the same khaira, khaira is not possible to do such a lowly thing.. hiks... hyks."." said khaira to his father with a raucous voice because trying to hold back his crying.

Khaira's father just stared at khaira without saying a single word.

" khaira apologizes but really khaira always try to keep himself khaira well, even khaira no men close to khaira" khaira said again but his father still did not talk to khaira.

" I'm sorry sir because this misunderstanding makes the father and family so embarrassed "Alfi back to voice after a long silence and witnessed the talk of khaira to his father. khaira turned towards Alfi as well as Alfi turned his head towards him, khaira directly lowered his head when his eyes met with alfi eyes.

Alfi again set his sights on khaira's father

" Right you want to do anything to cover up my shame and family?" khaira's father asked Alfi while looking sharply at Alfi.

" Right sir" replied Alfi briefly

" You sure? " ask khaira's father again to confirm what Alfi said

" I'm sure " replied Alfi steadily

Alfi answered so confidently without thinking about what his father would ask him, he just wanted this matter to be resolved quickly and could go home soon.

" Well then never dispute what else refused my request, because I have made sure if you will accept my request" said the father khaira firmly but his views are a little more redoubled

" well I promise I will accept whatever your request to me" said Alfi again he was still staring fixed father khaira

" it's good that "said khaira father again he looked at the whole room.

" if so what should I do? " ask Alfi while bowing her head

Khaira's father who heard Alfi's question immediately looked at Alfi he looked at Alfi and khaira alternately.several seconds later he issued words that made khaira and Alfi freeze.

" MARRY MY SON !!! "

DUARR...

DUARR...

DUARR....

the words thrown by the father khaira like lightning struck for two people who were still bowed and touched to make them look directly at him.

Alfi had just wanted to open her voice but khaira's father had already interrupted her first.

" i do not accept rejection, because you have promised to accept whatever my request is, in fact I've asked her over and over again but you still answered with the same answer that you were sure to accept my request.so now, now, do not try to argue because this is your own choice" said khaira father firmly.

at that moment Alfi immediately fell silent he felt sorry for giving such an answer to his father without knowing what he asked. khaira just silently heard what her father said while bowing her head.

Khaira tried to open her voice

" father khaira khaira and brother Alfi do not need to marry because we do nothing" khaira said carefully his face was still down.

" Daddy no matter what the reason, happened or did not happen something between you, I don't care what matters you have to get married as soon as possible". said khaira's father firmly that makes khaira not warting anymore.

" I think this problem is over, I thank Mr. Zaki (father of the village head) and also the gentlemen who have been willing to help solve my family problems. " khaira's father said to the principal and the two middle-aged men.

" yes together this sir has indeed become our obligation as villagers here, especially me as the village head in charge of helping to solve the problems that occur in the community " said the village chief while staring at the khaira father.

" yes again I thank you sir for his help, and I beg the fathers who are here to keep secret what happened to my son. I'm sure there's no one who knows other than us who's here to remember the late night "say khaira's father.

at this time it is very late time has shown at 1:15 am.

" well sir, we promise not to say anything to the people here, including our own families, we will try to keep it as private as possible" said one middle-aged man.

" all right then excuse us first" khaira's father told the village chief and then got up from his seat

" Dad wants to go home and you please invite your sister to come home with you". khaira said to the khairul who only nodded his head in response.

" And YOU.."While pointing towards Alfi, Alfi gasped in surprise when khaira's father pointed towards him.

"follow with me tonight you can sleep in my house, later you can sleep equally khairul in his room, he said, I don't want you to run away later and you call your parents to come see me tomorrow" said khaira's father then turned his body around, just a few steps away, he turned his head back towards Alfi who was still in his place.

" You didn't hear what I said just COME WITH ME NOW" said the father as he stared at Alfi with a sharp look. Alfi who saw the sharp gaze of khaira's father immediately stood up.

"Ba. ba. good sir I will come "Affi replied while looking down. then he took out the HP box that was on the table and stepped out following the khaira father who had left him first.

" let's get our deck home "say khaira khaira, khaira,

as his father had said, Khairul would bring the khaira home with him. he pulled the khaira's hand to stand up after he got up from his sitting. khaira just nodded her head then stood up and wrapped her hands around her waist, tears still flooded her cheeks even her eyes now look shrinking because they are too swollen.

Khairul embraces the shoulder of his beloved sister.yes really very loving khaira even he did not expect if this incident would happen to his only sister. Khairul said goodbye to the village chief and two middle-aged men who were still there after that he left the office to where his motorbike was parked.

Arriving there can no longer be seen the alfi car as they had left the place after coming out of the room of the village chief.

Khaira is completely confused at the thought of what is happening in her, she is too busy taking care of her matters until she forgets if she goes into the spaciousness with her best friend Silvia.

" astagfirullah.I just remembered that I had gone with Silvia and I forgot to tell her "Silvia said in her heart, rubbing her face. Khairul who saw her sister as if she was thinking about something then asked her

" Why you deck, what do you think? " tanya khaira just shook her head in response to her brother's question.

" if the problem did not have to think everything would be fine. Abang believes that khaira is not possible to do things as low as that" said khairul again while smiling towards khaira.

" Do you believe in khaira? " tanya khaira he looked towards khairul

" yes brother believes even very, very trusting, brother really knows what this brother like, there is no way he does things that are prohibited in religion" say khairul while cupping the face khaira with both hands and smiling.

" A..A...BANG... " said khaira with his spoiled voice and then hugged his tears back flowing because touched to hear the words of khairul just now.

khairul even laughs at the spoiled attitude of his sister, khaira always behave spoiled when with his family especially his brother this one..he didn't feel like his brother would belong to someone else.

" don't cry anymore, when will you get rich? sneak up or I stay" said Khairul while releasing a khaira hug.

khaira did not answer he immediately climbed in the back seat of Khairul motorbike.

" brother" call khaira after he sits behind the khairul

" heumm... What's wrong? "asked khairul

" How's Silvia? " khaira's still thinking about Silvia

" oe Silvia was his brother saw he had come home to his house "wanted khairul while running his motorcycle. khaira did not speak anymore when khairul running his motor. she wrapped her arms around her waist in a moment of pleasure enjoying her last moments with her sister. he was sure if his sister would be married or he married for sure he would not be able to behave this pampered with his sister.

ADUHhhhh..if khaira remembers soon he will be married to Alfi makes his head dizzy his mood so more ruined.

" have lived what has been outlined maybe this is the best" murmured khaira in the heart.
