Father's Choice of Sort

Message From Father

After a long journey, according to Sandra. They finally arrived in front of Sandra's house. A white flag on the alley went in the direction of his house. Seen a lot of people who come to accuse . At that moment Sandra could no longer hold back her sorrow . Sandra immediately got out of the car as soon as the car stopped. Running through the group of people who came to his house.

" Papakkk, pataaak, paternity "Sandra Shouts.

Aunt Nani who was waiting for him at the door could not help but cry. He hugged Sandra who he thought was like his daughter.

" Patience dear, I have calmed down, no longer feel pain, no crying, your mother will not be strong to see you sad." Said Aunt Nani interrupted her crying.

" Huhuhuhu ." Sandra's Cry.

Aunt Nani held Sandra close to the body of the Imam who had been bathed and put in a crate.

Sandra sat next to her father's coffin. Hugged and kissed the chest.

"Father, why did you leave Sandra, father , Sandra came home sir..this .. This Sandra bring Sandra's first salary sir, this is for you, Sandra can already find money sir, Sandra can help mom and dad... Don't stay in Sandra ... Huhuhuhu ."

Sandra was crying hysterically beside her father's coffin. From inside the room, some people took his mother.

"Ibuuukk ...." Sandra hugged her mother who looked very limp.

Both the mother and daughter were crying. The departure of Mr. Imam made both very hard hit.

Some people who were there also dissolved in sadness, because Mr. Imam was a good person, diligent in worship and liked to help people around him even though he himself was in trouble.

More and more mourners came and sholled the body of Mr. Imam.

Sandra who was beginning to calm down and control her grief sat not far from the coffin with her mother and Aunt Nani. I don't know since when Nurul has been beside him, hugging and stroking Sandra's shoulders, encouraging and strengthening Sandra.

At this time Sandra could not think clearly, even though she was not roaring and sobbing but her tears still could not stop. His head began to feel heavy and his eyes began to blur. But he held it as much as possible. He didn't want to miss the last moments with his father. The guilt in him when he was not beside his father at the last moment his father made him not want to regret for the umpteenth time.

The day is getting late, the funeral procession will begin soon . Not a few people who participated in the funeral process of Mr. Imam. Because Miss Lastri passed out a few times. So many people prevented him from coming and kept him at home. Sandra came to the tomb accompanied by Shefa and Nurul. Seen Gilang , Pak Wijaya and some neighbors also accompanied the funeral of Mr. Imam. Because Mr. Imam and Bu Lastri no longer have relatives.

While at the funeral Sandra no longer able to hold Isak crying . His eyes grew hazy and the pain in his head grew. Sandra's body fell down before someone suddenly caught her body from behind . Sandra looked surprised before she was unconscious.

" Sandra, Sandra, get up ... " Isak Nurul beside him.

Sandra was lying in her room. He said he heard some people talking to each other.

Sandra opened her eyes, silent for a moment. Looking around, there was Mother and Nurul who were holding both right and left hands beside the bed.

He looked again. There are Mr. Wijaya, Mr. Henny, Shefa, Gilang and Mr. Alfian !! Yes Lord Alfian is here, crammed into his narrow room. Sandra remembered very well the last time she had fainted, it was Mr. Alfian she had just seen.

" sir.tuan ... " Said Sandra.

All he meant was silence, expressionless and without a smile.

" Dear, are you aware, son ? Mom was worried. You fainted for a long time. " Say Miss Lastri stroked Sandra's palm.

" Ibukk, mr. buk...... " Sandra cried then, so remember what happened to him.

"Sttt, don't cry anymore. We must be sincere son, mother has let go of the father, not good to drag on in grief. " Bu Lastri said calming her daughter while wiping both her eyes.

" You drink first yes, mumpung still anget. " Nurul said with a smile and handed her a glass of sweet tea that was available at the small table beside Sandra's bed.

Sandra took it and drank it, thirsty .. Sandra spent the sweet tea because indeed since this morning Sandra had not been drinking, especially her energy was exhausted to cry .

Everyone looks relieved.

Aunt Nani came into the room to Sandra .

"Sandra's conscious son, take a bath first yuk. After that we have dinner together. " Said Aunt Nani.

" Everyone thank you for your concern, but all are mature and ready let's have dinner together. " Submit Aunt Nani to everyone in the room.

One by one everyone left the room . As Gilang stepped up, before coming out the door, Gilang turned to Sandra. For a moment Sandra saw the look of anxious and restless face in Gilang's eyes until finally Gilang disappeared from the sight of his eyes. Sandra had no idea what that look meant. His head still felt pulsating. Nurul Sandra walked into the bathroom.

" Have just got here ." Sandra Pinta.

" Are you sure ? " Tanya Nurul's.

Sandra smile. " You go with the others, I'll catch up. " Sandra said again.

" Good then, I'll wait there huh ? " Nurul said at last.

Actually Nurul did not have the heart, but because Sandra forced him she also relented.

Inside the bathroom, Sandra immediately took off the clothes she was wearing. Flush her body with the warm water that Aunt Nani had prepared. Without feeling Sandra sobbing again.

" Sorry Sandra sir ..... " Sandra said sadly.

After finishing the bath, they all gathered in the kitchen in the style of Sandra's house. Because of his people, Nurul's father combined two tables at once.

They eat in silence. After eating, they move to a larger living room. Ms. Henny said goodbye first, because of the many jobs she had left behind. After conveying condolences and greetings from other friends, Ms. Henny returned home with Shefa. Sandra and Bu Lastri are very grateful to them.

Bibi Nani and Nurul then went to the kitchen to clean up the former dinner last night. The atmosphere was silent again, they sat without a sound. Actually Sandra is confused why Gilang , Pak Wijaya, and Mr. Alfian are still here . Isn't this an unusual hour for judgment ? Sandra was about to ask but she broke her intention for fear of being disrespectful.

" son, ... " Sandra's mom started the conversation.

" Yes ma'am, " answered Sandra. His mother's hand was held tightly. Miss Lastri is the only family she has right now.

" Look, before your father left, I had a message for you . "

"Message ? What message ma'am, I think I'm afraid to say 'em, 'Sandra didn't papa ma'am, just say ." Sandra said softly.

" It was actually a problem that time was a child." Sela Pak Wijaya's.

Miss Lastri looked down. She did not have the heart to deliver the last message from her husband.

Sandra is getting confused not to understand .

" Son Sandra, before Mr. Wijaya left forever, he advised to continue the matchmaking we had originally planned. " Said Pak Wijaya .

Everyone was silent staring at Mr. Wijaya . Only Gilang and Alfian looked surprised. Moreover Gilang, he looks very shocked.

Sandra shook her head.

"Mother..... " At the sight of Bu Lastri , trying to find answers from the woman who gave birth to him. Who now bowed.

" I'm sorry, son, but this is your father's last wish, I can't refuse. " Say Bu Lastri . He handed his cell phone to Sandra.

" Here , there's a tape of your father's last message for you, if you go home you want you to listen to him. Actually I wanted to call you at that time, but your father said do not disturb you during working hours, you also do not want you to worry, finally he recorded himself and told me to tell you." Bu Lastri.

Sandra received the phone trembling. Find the voice recorder on the phone.

" Sandra's father, uhuk uhukk uhukk... ! " Tears flowed back in both corners of her eyes. The voice of the father he missed that he could no longer hear.

" Sandra, I'm sorry if your decision this time without your prior consent. Uhuukk .. uhuukk ! After that night, Mr. Wijaya came and said what he heard from you. Actually I'm a little disappointed because you rejected someone's good intentions. Forgive me if this time even you are forcing you to grant your request. Perhaps this is the father's first and last request for the father's daughter... " Pause..

" Sandra, maybe your father's age is not long, and you should know. I am sad to leave you when you are not married & have not had someone who can take care of you like you and love you, especially. uhuk uhukk . Your mother is now also often sickly. I am worried, ' Father is sad to think about how your fate will be when we are no longer beside you. That's when Mr. Wijaya with good intentions, begged the father to match his first son with you so that he could take care of you. I believe Mr. Wijaya is a sincere and kind person, I am sure if his son must be good as he is. Therefore, please... Please grant your request so that later if you are gone, you can go calmly. Uhuuukkkk , Uhuukkkkkk..."

" Be a dutiful son to parents, father tipped mother son, may you be happy ."

Silent...

" Huhuhuhu ,huhuhuhu .... " This time it was Bu Lastri's cry that broke the silence. Sandra hugged her mother tightly. His body trembled between sorrow and disappointment. It was not so hard to express his heart. Tears continued to flow from his two eyes that were already swollen from tired crying.

" It's already mom ." Sandra.

All were silent watching the interaction between the mother and the child.

Nurul and Bibi Nani who had been listening from the kitchen also cried to see him.

Mr. Alfian and Gilang who were sitting at the very corner of the bench both clenched their hands . I don't know what they have in mind.

" So, Sandra, just go ahead ." Pak Wijaya.

" Second, this is Alfian father's first son. He will be your husband ! " Said Pak Wijaya firmly.

" Whata !!!!! " Sandra jumped in shock .

" Tutu... Mr Al Alfian ?There's no way "Sandra said in shock

" But unfortunately, 'it's true. You are also surprised that you already know each other, and moreover you feel stupid because you do not know if it turns out that you have been working in a restaurant run by your father. "

Sandra still could not believe what she had just heard. How is it possible ?? People who you believe can take care of and love him are people who have been oppressing and insulting him at will. No, Alfian is not the same as the kind and gentle Mr. Wijaya. Sandra doesn't believe if they're a son and a father .

" Om, isn't this a coercion." A word of voice .

Yes he Gilang, from earlier he held back his emotions. He thinks if it turns out Alfian already knew from the beginning if he was in a match with Sandra so that Alfian deliberately always pranks Sandra.More now Gilang realize his feelings for Sandra. Disappointed to see the person he likes in a match with his own best friend.

All speechless..

" All this we have agreed in advance, there is no coercion between me and him. Now just waiting for Sandra's answer because Alfian had already agreed to this decision ." Firmly Pak Wijaya.

Alfian's turn was shocked. Indeed the last few months his father always talked about arranged marriages for him. But it always ends in a fight. Alfian never agreed to the match. Especially when he knew if the one he was paired with was the hick girl he hated so much. While Gilang, now looking at Alfian sharply . Instantly his anger peaked . He felt that his best friend had lied to him. Though he knew very well if he worked at his place because he wanted to pursue Sandra.

For a moment all were silent with their own minds.

" How about Sandra ?" Ask Mr. Wijaya.

Sandra felt cornered at this moment. Actually he did not want to, he wanted to reject it right now. But the words of his father that he heard just now made him have to nod in agreement. Sandra wanted her father to leave quietly. He wanted to be a filial son like his father's last wish.

Mr. Wijaya smiled . Miss Lastri hugged Sandra tightly . Crying so badly. Nurul and Bibi Nani also dissolve with the pain that Sandra feels. They know Sandra's true heart. But they can't help .

" Then we will carry out their engagement first. The sooner the better . I know we are still in a time of mourning but we must also remember that this is his wish so that he can leave in peace . " Subsequently Mr. Wijaya.

" I think sir, I leave everything to you ." Bu Lastri said later.

" Okay ma'am, then I will do all the necessary equipment . Mom just calm down. My men will take care of everything. And son Sandra ... Sandra should not go to work first . Son Sandra getting ready for your engagement next week ! " Said Pak Wijaya

" Huh next week !!! " Sandra and Alfian said.

Mr. Wijaya nodded.

Gilang stood unable to hold back his emotions anymore. Without excuse he left the house .

All fell silent again, Mr. Wijaya was surprised to see Gilang's attitude. It was not usual for Gilang to not have such manners. Because he memorized the attitude of his son's friends.

The day is getting late, after finishing discussing the seven-day event that will be held simultaneously with the engagement of Alfian and Sandra, Pak Wijaya and Alfian returned home in their respective cars.

Bibi Nani and Nurul stay at Sandra's house. They slept together in the living room tonight.
