FOLLOW IN DESTINY

25. Apologizing part 1

The weather at BIL airport is rather hot. Maybe because the sun has been leaning more and shining strongly. Ahmad and his family will be waiting for the next, smaller flight to get to the small town where Arini has been living for months.

Mommy sat down while talking to Papa, Arini laughed occasionally listening to the story of mother and father Ahmad. Ajmad put on a big happy smile hope Arini's family will forgive his mistakes first. It's not an easy thing. But Ahmad was determined to do whatever it takes to achieve his once-destroyed dream.

Arini's phone ring stopped the chatter between them. Ahmad's eyes noticed Arini who was away from her parents to answer the phone. It was not until five minutes that he rejoined Ahmad and his parents.

Now they have landed in the island city of Sumbawa. Hot air ambushes the skin. Sultan Kaharuddin Sumbawa Airport looks cute and magnificent.

"Welcome to Sumbawa, Ren" said Arini's mother welcomed her friend and family. "You look more beautiful"

"Hahahahaha, you never change. Your compliments really make me feel beautiful" said Irene as she hugged her best friend tightly. Arini's father hugged Papa Ahmad, they exchanged jokes and patted him on the shoulder. Ahmad kissed Arini's parents' hands awkwardly.

"Welcome to Sumbawa Island" said Mama Arini greeting her best friend's husband.

"I didn't think you could stay in this place for months" Irene whispered to Arini's mother.

"You need to try it. This city is the best place for mediation. Calm, away from congestion and frenetic. Anyway you will forget the luxury of America" joked mama Arini invites them to the parking lot of SK Sumbawa airport.

"You affect other people very sweetly. But I think it's better to go back to your old house. I don't want my daughter-in-law out of reach" Irene said at length as she closed the car door. Mama Arini took a deep breath. She smiled lightly and occasionally looked at her husband.

"I'll think about it after this" Mama Arini smiled faintly. "It all depends on my husband. Due to his duties in the provincial city well.I feel more comfortable in this small town"

"Beautiful and quiet little town" returned mother Irene smilingly taking a look to the right and left of the road. The small town is very peaceful.

"There are relatives of Arini's father here. And more importantly this city gives a sense of security" said Mama Arini laughing widely.

"I think because of Sham. You remember Sham, don't you?" mother Irene laughed while whispering. Mama Arini patted Irene's shoulder with a voiceless laugh.

The car they were riding stopped at a fairly large house with regional ornaments. Arini's father invited his guests to come down. Ahmad carried his suitcase for a leisurely walk behind his parents.

"This is how the atmosphere of this small town, Ja" said Arini's father after opening the door of the house. "Please enter. May you be at home. But don't go to the mall ya.." joked Arini's father who immediately replied with a wry smile from Mother Irene.

"Let Arini show you a room, Ren" said Mama Arini as she headed to the kitchen room to the right of the main building.

That night they all sat together after dinner. Papa Ahmad and Arini's father appear to be joking. Sometimes they seem to talk seriously.

"Well." call Ahmad who saw when the two mighty men were silent for a moment after laughing at the thing that made them laugh. Everyone turned towards Ahmad who looked groggy in his seat. Several times Ahmad improved his seat to make it feel comfortable.

"Tell me" said Arini's father, putting a coffee cup on the table in front of them.

Ahmad looked at his father. Papa Ahmad smilingly nodded his head giving strength so that his son is not awkward to face Arini's father and his mother.

"I'm sorry, Dad, Ma, for what happened a few months ago. I'm..." Ahmad hesitated to explain why. Ahmad realized how sad the event was for his family, because of the loss of his only brother forever. The sadness was clearly in his heart.

"I'm sorry we.." Ahmad's raucous voice made both of Arini's parents take a breath.
