Bringing Our Differences together
Worries About Achin
Ali's thoughts were very erratic at this moment, she decided to go to Nada's house. Ali waited for a while there, but her lover did not show up.
In front of the gate of the house Nada, Ali met with Om Achin papa Nada who had finished coming home from a pharmacy near his home. Families
Nada was born from a family with a lower middle economy, where Nada's own residence is located in a village with small alleys that must be passed every day. Om Achin himself has a small shop in the market, with his efforts that he can make the Tone as it is today. With the result of her hard work, she was able to pay for Nada's school and give her matchless affection for Nada.
Ali parked his motorcycle and came to kiss his girlfriend's hand. During his relationship with Nada, Ali had been brought several times Nada played to his house to introduce Ali to his papa. Nada wants his father and Ali can be close to each other and the result Om Achin is also quite happy with the personality of Ali.
Ali smilingly greeted papa Nada, “Night om. How are you doing? Sorry Ali has not played here for some time.”
“Iya-iya, not about that.”
“Om healthy right?”
“Owe healthy. Ali-is.. Lu people why malem-malem dateng to home owe?”
Ali smile small, “I no need with Tone om. Can I meet with Nada?”
“Lu people if there is a need, do not malem-malem come here. Owe not good with the neighbors, later they think the girls are not really. Her boyfriend apples malem like this.” said Om Achin advising Ali.
“Iya Om. Sorry Ali yes Om. Om from the pharmacy, um again sick? Ali take a check to the hospital.”
“Do not need.. Owe only catch the wind, these few days Jakarta has a lot of wind arrival. So there's a wind coming in owe's body. Body owe so sick all.”
Ali smiled at him, “Do we not go to the doctor? Let it heal.”
“No need-a. Doctors are expensive, they need money. Later in rubbing for a while the child owe definitely healed. Son owe the doctor of all doctors make owe, he's the breath and life for owe.”
“Iya Om, Nada is indeed a priceless treasure.”
“Oiya, Nada still has business in the church, he will be one of the administrators there. Soon it's time for him to come home, you people just wait. But owe wants to talk to you four eyes. Here sit first.”
Ali sat next to Papa Nada, on the porch of the house. Ali was confused by the attitude of papa Nada, not usually Om Achin invite Ali to chat with a serious face like this.
“What's up om? How important is that?”
Ali scratched her non-itchy hair, “Ai? What is it om?”
Papa Nada patted his own forehead, “Haiya.. You people don't know what Ai means? Then how can you be Owe's son-in-law? Ai.. Love's.. Love-a.”
Ali blushed embarrassed to hear papa Nada's explanation, “Oh love. Yes, I am Ai Nada. I really love my son. Not to mess around. Where dare I toying with a child Om.”
Om Achin justifies the position of his glasses that go down, “Gini Ali-a, Lu guys, too guys right. We talk as gentleman. Owe's son is 27 years old, while you're still 20. That's how the story goes? You people will still be healthy strong, later owe children have menopause. That'll make it hard for you people. Our religion is different too. Lu continued said Nada also turned out to be the son of a rich man. Trus owe of Chinese descent, you of Arab descent. This is all how? Difficult.. Difficult.”
Ali confirmed his sitting position, “I am sure I can live all this and be happy with Tone kok om. No need to worry about all that. I can promise one thing to om, if I will never hurt even leave Nada.”
Om Achin sighed in length, “Lu may say it's all to owe now, but what about your parents? Owe think they'd be hard-willed to accept Nada in your family. Owe also do not want if something is forced later will make Nada feel uncomfortable.”
Ali let out a long breath, “Indeed my parents have not yet agreed to our relationship. But I'm sure sooner or later, they'll accept all of this. Tone is the best woman I've ever met. Om at this time just need to believe in me.”
“Owe anyway want to believe in you people but owe kasian same child owe. He would suffer like that. Owe hope you guys end it all before our son gets hurt deeper. Owe likes you guys, you're the same good guys owe same kid owe but if your parents don't agree what else? You mean no match.”
“But om..”
“Lu people do not keep from earlier, you have to think long. Not because of love, everything is not thought far ahead. Restu the old man needs Ali-a, you never think will marry without parental blessing.”
“Iya om Ali really understand what disturbs the mind om. But please believe Ali yes, Ali will try to make mom and dad can accept Nada well, accept our relationship. Ali also promised to om, Ali will not make a sad tone. Ali just wants to make Tone happy with Ali om.” said Ali with sincerity radiated from his eyes.
Om Achin was speechless, he stared at his son-in-law's face in silence. Actually Om Achin was very appreciative of the struggle that Ali wanted to show him, but in reality what they would experience in front of him was not able to imagine. Om Achin just doesn't want to see his beloved daughter get hurt.
Moments later, Nada came to open the door. Talks between Ali and Papa Nada ended with Nada there. Om Achin smiled at Nada then walked into the house, giving time for Ali and Nada to chat on the porch of the house.
“Aling, Ali do not malem-malem meet ya. Not good with neighbors. Makein Ali drink also papa keep chatting so forget.”
Nada hugs her papa, “Iya papa, just calm down. Aling knows what papa means.”
Om Achin went into the house. Tone watched Ali's face with a smile emanating from her beautiful face.
