Dear, Soul!!

The 18 Review

Time passes with misunderstandings that continue, misunderstandings that are ignored and misunderstandings that are still trying to be corrected even though there is no way out. Salwa's misunderstanding of Fira, although Salwa still does not know the truth but Salwa is ready to accept Fauzi back, yes the classic reason that Salwa holds, Salwa, he deliberately did not want to accept Fauzi's explanation for fear that the explanation was only Fauzi's reason alone, and the truth about Fira in the end only became the truth that was not revealed. There is also a misunderstanding that has no solution about Farhan's feelings, who constantly considers Salwa his lover even though Salwa does not think the same.

Farhan walked into his room, tossed his bag in bed and walked shabbyly and sat down in front of his desk. His gaze was blank, only his mind was raging in the light of the incident earlier this afternoon.

Farhan does not know about how the relationship between Salwa and Fauzi now, which he knew before the relationship is not good and may be over. Farhan was confused to see Salwa and Fauzi who seemed fine this afternoon, and what was even more confusing to Farhan was Salwa's request to end their relationship.

"Argghhhh...." Farhan grabbed his own hair trying to calm his unruly feelings. "Why are you like this to me Salwa??? Just yesterday you received me, just yesterday I felt very happy and today you ask to end all this?? Is this a dream????"

Farhan is very difficult to accept Salwa's request to end their relationship.

"Farhan.." Call her mother from outside.

"Yes Ma..." Farhan walked to open the door for his mother.

"Well, haven't you changed your clothes yet, son??" His mother asked confused to see Farhan who was still wearing his full school uniform.

"Ah, I was so exhausted that I sat around for a while.."

"Yes, change your clothes and meet your Tetta downstairs.."

"Why?? Why is Tetta looking for me??"

"Not much to ask, change clothes. Mama wait downstairs.."

Farhan was silent. His father is a busy man, yes naturally as a shareholder in a large factory and several other businesses, Farhan's father is obviously very busy and rarely just talk to Farhan. Besides being busy, his father's strict upbringing also made Farhan not too close to his father. Yes although impressed firm and a bit hard, but Farhan's father loved Farhan as much as other parents. Whatever Farhan wants while it's within his father's reasonable limits, he'll obey everything, so do not be surprised if at home Farhan has complete facilities including Nintendo wii supreme which he used to play with Fauzi for hours.

Farhan walked in his family room to see his father reading the newspaper with his mother who was pouring warm tea on her husband.

"Why Tetta??" Ask Farhan.

His father slowly folded the newspaper and placed it on the table.

"How's school??"

"It's fine.."

"Good indeed.. What are the activities and organizations at school??"

"Good.." Farhan replied with a bit of confusion. His father often asked about his lessons when Farhan asked for a parent's signature on his report card, but regarding other activities his father never asked about it.

"Tetta doesn't know what to say about you, so Tetta just goes right.."

Farhan was silent, waiting for what his father would say next.

"Do you remember Fatir?? The man who accompanied us around the factory back then.."

Farhan tried to remember..

"Ah yes, why?"

"She has a daughter, Tetta intends to match you to her daughter.."

JLEBB.. "Stupid?? Is this the time of Siti Nurbaya??" Thought Farhan.

"No way.." Farhan replied briefly.

"Why? Mr. Fatir has a good family, good business and again he has a clan in his favor, just like us.."

"I don't want to.." Farhan replied firmly.

"Tetta didn't ask if you wanted to or not. That means you have no choice.."

"Tetta.. Farhan is already big, and again in modern times like this why there is still such an arranged marriage. Farhan won't.."

"Farhan, Tetta do this for your own good. Mr. Fatir will talk to his daughter as well.."

"If her daughter refuses how??"

"This match will not take place.."

"Hehh..." Farhan snorted throwing his face away.

"Farhan, who taught you to act like that in front of your guests, son??" Reggar Mother.

"Tetta, Fatir's sir asking his daughter first means the decision is with his daughter. Does Tetta not think that the fate of Tetta's only son is in the decision of someone else's daughter? Does Tetta not think that Pak Fatir is not as serious as it wants Farhan to be his son-in-law.."

"Farhan, Mr. Fatir needs to talk to his daughter first. Whatever she wants for you, she still needs her daughter's approval??"

"Why doesn't Tetta learn from Mr Fatir who puts his daughter's wishes ahead of his ego??"

"Farhan..."

"Anything Farhan wouldn't..."

"Why? Is it because you have a boyfriend???"

Farhan.

"Seeing from your expression seems to have. Give her contact to Tetta, let Tetta talk directly to her.."

"It's up to Tetta, just sell this one and only Tetta's child to a family of good family.." Farhan said he left his parents.

"Where is Farhan going?? Your tetta hasn't finished talking, son.." Farhan ignored his mother's call. "Farhan..." Call his mother once more but Farhan walks straight to his room.

"Here you go, let Farhan calm down first.." Prevent Farhan's father.

"How is this Pah? Looks like Farhan won't???" Ask Mother Farhan worried.

"But Pah, what if Grandpa Granny Farhan heard the matter of Fatir's request and knew that Farhan refused. I don't want our only child to be as alienated as your sister.."

"Later I try to talk to Farhan again, I'm not too close to Farhan for being too busy working until Farhan ends up like this, not being close to me and not listening to me.."

"Bah, Farhan must be persuaded..."

"Related Ma'am, after all Grandpa and Grandma Farhan also did not know about the request of Mr. Fatir. If Farhan really refuses, it means that we should be able to close the information request sir Fatir to arrive at the ears of his grandfather and Grandmother Farhan.. We can't force Farhan like this, ma'am.."

"But Pah, what if Grandpa and Grandma Farhan knew?? Our son Pah.. Our son will be like your brother who was exiled by the family just because he chose the woman he loved and refused the good woman from Marga to be betrothed.. Until now we don't know how your sister is doing?? We're the last to care about him until finally our relationship with your sister is also cut off by a big family"

"Later I think again Mom, if Farhan will be the same fate as my sister, I myself will break the family rope with a large family. Ah somehow also this family is too thirsty with clan.."

"But is it true that Fatir asked Farhan??"

"Yes, Mr. Fatir saw Farhan that day when I brought him to the factory. Well, he was interested in Farhan just because Farhan was too easy for Fatir to just like him.."

"Why ask our son to be his daughter-in-law if he hasn't spoken to his daughter yet??"

"It's not like that ma'am, Mr. Fatir just said that he had a daughter and he wanted a child like Farhan who would look after his daughter. But the people at the Factory assume that Mr. Fatir specifically asked Farhan to be his son-in-law.."

"So how's this Pah??"

"To now cover up about this, try not to hear Farhan's grandparents.."

"If only the fathers knew this didn't matter Pah, but when it came to the Mothers who knew, sooner or later this would come to the ears of Grandpa and Grandma Farhan.."

"Let's think again, now look at Farhan once it seems like his emotions are rising. He had to calm down lately since he was already third grade, he had to mentally prepare for the National Examination later on.."

"Yes Pah.."

Farhan's mother followed Farhan to her room.

"Son..."

Farhan was silent sitting at his study table ignoring his mother's call.

"Son, what your guest did was all for your good, your guest had no intention of making you..."

"For my sake what is Mah??" Tanya Farhan cut off her mother's words. "Why in modern times such an arranged marriage still exists"

"Son, Mama same Tetta just don't want you like your om?? Don't you remember how your Elders' neglected sister was like our extended family??"

"But Mah..."

Farhan's words came to a halt because of his ringing phone, an incoming call from Salwa. Farhan looked at his mother and her mother gave Farhan time to answer her phone.

"Hello.."

"Hello sister..emh today can not meet?"

"Why?" Farhan asked while occasionally glancing at his mother.

"I want to talk to you, brother.."

"By what?? If I want to talk about it this afternoon I don't want to.."

"But brother.."

"Have it, if there's nothing important you want to talk about, I'll call her first.." Farhan glanced at his mother again who was silent to see him talking to Salwa.

"Sister, I want to deal with this.."

"I don't want Salwa, I don't want our relationship to end" Farhan unknowingly talks about his relationship with Salwa, quickly seeing his mother. It was clear what question his mother would ask after he finished his phone.

"But.."

"Salwa, now I'm busy.. I was discussing something with my parents.." Farhan tried to end his conversation with Salwa so that not more and more of his mother heard.

"As for brother, I'll come to big brother's house.. I don't want this to go on, brother.."

To home?? How could Farhan let Salwa go to her house while her condition at home was precarious with this matchmaking problem.

"Salwa, can't you understand my situation??"

"I'm sorry I'm selfish, but we have to finish this.. If you don't see me, I'll go to my sister's house to see you.."

Farhan can't take it anymore, he can't hold Salwa, the longer he refused Salwa's invitation to meet the longer their discussion will be and the more that his mother heard and again do not let Salwa really desperate to come to his house.

"OK okay. After we meet, I'll pick you up there.." Farhan said he turned off his phone. Not yet the matchmaking problems her parents submitted now there are more new problems with Salwa.

"Salvas??" Ask Mother. "Who? Your boyfriend???"

Farhan was silent.

"May end your relationship with him.."

"Mah..."

"Son, all this is for your own good, Mama doesn't want to separate you from the one you love, but Mama doesn't want to part with you dear.."

"Well, I've been loving Salwa for over a year and just a few days ago Salwa became my boyfriend, you could ask me to end my relationship, she's the woman I've been waiting for a year and more Ma..." Farhan's tears slowly trickled down.

Seeing his son shed tears, his mother approached and hugged Farhan tightly.

"I'm sorry dear Mama, I just don't know what else to do.." He said as he hugged his son tightly with his tears beginning to drip.

Farhan returned tightly to his mother's embrace.

"You want to go see him, right?? Be prepared, Mama will talk to your guests.."

"Thank you Mah.."

His mother simply smiled gently stroking the cheek of her beloved son
