Director, My First Love!
Meet your parents
Fadli hometown.
Tok, tock, tock, tock,
"Assalamualaikum, Bi."
The door of the house was open, too,
"Vaalaikumsalam. Uh, Fadli, well, Aunt's handsome niece, finally came along. Well, you came with your wife, Fadli? Beautiful gravestone, O God of Wrestling. Hayu oruh enter first, mayu enter." said Aunt Fadli.
"Eh, yes, Thanks Bi."
Fadli and Raina sit in the living room of Aunt Fadli's humble home. Far inversely proportional to the luxurious house Raina. Raina looks a little uncomfortable, because he is not used to being in a simple house like this.
"Wait a minute, Auntie, get you a drink. You must be tired." said Aunt Fadli, then passed.
"Thank you, Bi."
Fadli looked at Raina who looked a little uncomfortable with the condition of her Aunt's house. However, this is a house left by his father and mother, Fadli has no home anymore, other than this old house.
"I'm sorry, the house is not what you imagined. You must be uncomfortable." said Fadli.
"Mmh, no, that's okay. I'm just not used to it." replied Raina.
Raina doesn't know where Fadli's parents are. From yesterday, what Fadli was talking about was his Aunt Fadli, and Fadli was just talking to his aunt. Raina was curious about both of Fadli's parents. Regardless of where they are, Raina does not know the real situation.
"Fad, your Mom and Dad, where?" ask Raina.
"Oh yeah, I haven't introduced you to them yet. I'll take you to see them." replied Fadli smiling sweetly.
"All right." Raina returned Fadli's smile.
Aunt Fadli gave her warm tea and various cakes. Fadli chatted, and introduced Raina to them. Aunt Fadli's name is Bi Mina. Bi Mina was very happy with Raina. The children of Bi Mina were also very happy, because Fadli brought a lot of souvenirs for them. Plus, Raina, who was carrying a lot of packets of snacks and bread, gave it to all the Fadli brothers.
"Neng Raina tea is very beautiful. Luckily, Fadli's wife could be Neng Raina's husband." Bi Mina smiled happily.
"Thank you, Bi. Auntie's overreacting, I'm used to it." Raina blushed in embarrassment.
"Surely, Neng Raina is very beautiful. Why do you want to do the same Auntie I believe? Fadli is nothing, Neng. Look, the house is small like this, must be a car and all these souvenirs from Neng Raina huh. Forgive me for saying "Auntie, Fadli is just a regular Neng" said Aunt Fadli.
Fadli was ashamed, his aunt bluntly said the true state of Fadli. It's true, the luxury car was Rama's car, the older brother of Raina, but the souvenirs that Fadli gave, it was purely his own money, without any interference from Raina.
"Eh, Bi Mina, don't talk like that. True, it was my brother's car, but Fadli also had a car. Only, Fadli cars can not be taken to travel far, afraid of breaking down in the middle of the road. All these souvenirs are also from Fadli, I just added snacks only, Bi. Now, Fadli is no longer a gardener, now Fadli is the manager at the restaurant, Bi. Raina is proud of Fadli's work." Raina smiled sweetly.
Fadli who heard the words from Raina's mouth, completely inexhaustible, the woman praised him. In fact, since last night until last time on the trip, Raina did not talk to Fadli. Because, Raina was still annoyed at him.
"Rai, you don't have to overdo it." Fadli shy.
"Really, Neng Raina? Right now Fadli's not a gardener anymore? Fadli, thank God, if you tea now has advanced. Aunt happy, aunt happy. Your life is not lonely anymore, now you have found your happiness completely. Neng Raina, take care of Fadli yes, there Fadli tea only alone. He already has no one, Auntie seneng if now Fasli already have a wife, so Fadli tea will not be lonely anymore." Aunt Fadli smiled.
"Thank you, Neng Raina. Auntie believes that Neng Raina is a good woman."
"Thank you Bi,"
"Yes, you guys, please rest. Your room is in Fadli's room first yes, Auntie has cleaned it. Aunty go inside first yes, please or drink tea and cake." said Auntie.
"Okay Bi, thank you in advance."
Fadli looked at Raina filled with weirdness. Why did Raina suddenly become an understanding and kind woman? In fact, Fadli thought, Raina will behave a little disrespectful, but it turns out Raina can be friendly and kind to her Aunt Fadli.
"Fad, let's meet your Mom and Dad" Raina said.
"Where? Aren't you tired?" ask Fadli.
"No, I'd love to meet your parents, Fad" Raina replied.
"All right, we're going there now. I'm going to say goodbye to Bi Mina" said Fadli.
"Yes, Fad."
Fadli takes Raina to a quiet place, a place full of weeds. Raina did not understand why Fadli brought her here, even quite far from the village, Raina was astonished, but she remained relaxed and followed where Fadli went.
Fadli and Raina arrive at a funeral. Raina was surprised why Fadli brought her here. Raina wants to meet Fadli's parents, not be in a tomb like this.
"Fad, are you taking me here anyway? He said we'd like to meet your parents" Raina said.
"Yes, this is my parents' second home, Rai. I'll introduce you to them. Come on," Fadli smiled meaningfully.
"So, Fad? Your folks?" Raina did not expect.
Fadli walked towards the tombstone lined up nearby. Indeed, until the end of life, even the two parents Fadli remain united.
"Assalamualaikum, Mother and Father. Fadli's coming, now Fadli's coming with someone. Forgive Fadli, who rarely visits you. Forgive Fadli who is too busy with worldly life, so Fadli rarely comes here. Fadli's married, Pa, Mom. Fadli had a beautiful and kind wife. Fadli came with him. Here you go, Raina, Mom, Fadli's wife. Pray that Fadli from there, may Fadli and Raina be a complete couple, become an eternal married couple, and be guided by Him, may Fadli be able to carry the mandate to be able to become his priest. Fadli introduces Raina, because Raina wants to meet Mom and Dad, unfortunately, you are no longer on Fadli's side, but, you will remain in Fadli's heart, forever..." fadli's tears fell unbearably.
Raina who was still standing, bowed down, holding onto Fadli's shoulder. Raina knew Fadli's sadness at the moment, but Raina could do nothing but pray for the best. Raina squatted down, then she held the tombstone of Mother Fadli's tomb.
"Asalamualaikum, Mommy. I am a woman who has married Fadli. I am a woman who always accompanies her days. Meet, Mom, I'm Raina. I thought I could see and look at Mom's pretty face. Turns out, I can only see it like this. I don't know, that Fadli doesn't have you anymore. I was sad because I hurt her heart. If I had known, he would have no one else, maybe I would have loved him from the beginning. I'm sorry, Mom. I promise, in front of this tombstone, that I will try to love the Son of Mother and Father, that I will love him with all my heart. I will replace your affection for her, with all my love. Fadli, my poor husband, turns out your life is really lonely. I promise, I will always be with you, and try to run this household ark with you. Hopefully, Fadli and I will stay together, even if our story is unexpected at first. But, nothing is impossible, that we can also love each other and love in the end. I'll try it from now on. Thank you, Mother and Father, for bringing Fadli into the world, until he was created and present to me...." Raina smiled, while rubbing the small feathers that fell from her eye patch.
"Raina, are you sure of what you said?" Fadli was totally unexpected.
