He's Not Mine

50. PDKT With Camer

“I'm sorry for all the mistakes I've done so far!” I thrust out my right hand to shake, Resti accepted. His hands were stiff and cold, he kissed the back of my right hand.

Suddenly colonel Teguh entered and applauded, “nah, so it will get along. Nice looking!”

I immediately took off the handshake with Resti and stood up, "sorry, I just apologized to Resti. There's nothing else."

"Pardoning each other is good. So how's it going?" colonel Teguh sat in his chair folding his hands on his desk.

I sat back in my chair, "still the same as before the Commander left, I decided to stay away and keep my distance from Resti. For Resti please continue the relationship with Benny. My prayers may be a suitable and complementary couple."

The look on Colonel Teguh's face returned sour, not as cheerful as the clapping earlier. "What about you Resti?" colonel Teguh turned his gaze to his daughter. Resti's eyes were still puffy and then nodded wordlessly.

"Do you agree with what the Imam said?" colonel Teguh.

"Son, Resti wants the same Imam!" Resti came back crying.

"Then when you wanted to marry Irvan you cried like this, as if the Imam was not considered. Now please respect the Imam's opinion and wishes. You cannot force the will. What you think is good, is not necessarily good for others!" colonel Teguh mediates.

Tangis Resti is becoming. "You now feel what the Imam used to feel, disappointment, anger and sadness, all the Imam has felt!" colonel Teguh added.

"She deliberately fooled Resti with her friend Yah!" resti said a hiccup.

"Take Benny home, I want to get acquainted,"

"Begging him for help, he's his friend" Resti said.

"But you also have her number, right? Call him now, I want to hear his voice!" said colonel Teguh, checkmate for Resti.

Terpojok, finally Resti called Koh Benny in front of us.

"Hello, Koh. Busy again, huh?" sapa Resti's.

"Grow up your voice, I want to hear you!" pinta colonel Teguh, then Resti set the loudspeaker on his phone.

"Still guard the shop, what's up?" ask Koh Benny from the end of the phone.

"Dad wanted to get to know Koh Benny" Resti said.

"Oh yeah, when?" koh Benny's voice was somewhat choked.

"Later tonight," Colonel Teguh interrupted.

"I.iya," Koh Benny sounded increasingly nervous.

"Okay koh, thank you. Assalamualaikum," Resti closed his call.

"Later in the evening you're coming, Mama!" colonel Teguh's orders.

"If there's anything to talk about again, it's better that it's Ndan now" I said.

"Aren't you coming tonight?" 

"It's better not."

"Benny's company, maybe he's upset."

"Well, I'll come tonight."

"Okay, now you're back to your respective places of duty."

Resti left the place lethargic without a word, while I waited for him to come out of the door and saluted and shook hands with Colonel Teguh then left the room.

"Mam, I'll tell you what his father is like Resti?" ask koh Benny.

"Self-introduction, Koh's usual, relax," I patted Koh Benny's back to calm him down. Meeting the would-be-in-law made groggy, let alone camer an army of middle-ranking officers, made koh Benny sweat cold.

"No gnaw?"

"Not bad, be firm, gapapa really."

At the home of Colonel Teguh, we were warmly welcomed by Colonel Teguh and his wife. 

"Well, Mom. This is Koh Benny his friend mas Imam," Resti introduced koh Benny to his parents, but also used to call my name all the hell.

"I live in Orchard, Pakuwon Indah" replied Koh Benny.

"Have you known Resti for a long time?"  ask colonel Teguh.

"It's only been a month, sir" replied Koh Benny.

"I'm sorry, which I heard from the Imam, you're divorced. Is that true?" colonel Teguh.

"Yes, right sir."

"What's the reason for the divorce?"

"My ex-wife didn't want to join me in Islam, so we decided to split up."

"How long has Islam been?"

"If I converted to Islam it's been almost three years, but I officially parted with my wife about last year."

"His divorce administration papers are in order?"

"Already sir, even my ex-wife has married again first."

"So hot little yeah, stabbed ex-wife!" colonel Teguh melted the atmosphere.

“Gas pol,” add me.

“Mari please taste the dish,” bu Commander welcome.

“Where can the story be Islam Koh?” ask Resti.

“There is a law in Islam that says that to see someone, then look at the friends around him. My friends are devout people such as Imam, Suryo, Dimas, Erwin, so I am influenced by their virtues,” replied koh Benny. 

“Can be anyhow!” I elbowed koh Benny. 

“I feel calm and comfortable when hangout with them, it turns out that what makes comfort in the heart is Islam,” koh Benny added.

“The circulation of people alright ya!” said colonel Teguh.

“What circuit is Yah?” ask the commander.

“Hemm, the circel is hanging around him. If the circuit is Dad, the mayor, Emil Dardak, that's Bu!” colonel Teguh explained, spontaneously we all laughed. Gaul is also a former camer, darling never became his daughter-in-law.

“Eh, if parents how?” ask the Commander.

“My father has not been around for a long time, my mother is still there but does not want to follow Islam. It’s okay, the important thing is not to ban me. In my extended family, I am the only one who is Islamic,” koh Benny explains.

“How many brothers?” ask the Commander again.

“Four, my second child. My sister went with her husband in Taiwan. My brother is a married man, the youngest woman is not married. My sisters live with mom in Pakuwon, not far from my apartment.”

“Benny, Resti y'all are not young anymore, both have been married. If you currently want to continue to a level that is more than now, please estimate yourself, prepare each of them. Father and mother cannot determine or coerce you, you alone determine your future.” Colonel Teguh gave advice.

“Apaan the hell Well, new acquaintances also have been talking until there aja!” Resti.

“That's the difference, you with the girl. If it's still a girl, still shy. Today say yes, tomorrow say no, but want to,” colonel Teguh said while eating nuts casually.

“Mom believe and believe in the choice of son Priest, surely want Benny a good person!” the commander added, I who was drinking tea suddenly choked when my name was called.

“The recommender is right huh Bu?” koh Benny nudged my hands ignorant.

“Whatever you want to do!” I'm trying as fast as I can.

“After this there is no taifib or kopaska selection call again right Mam?” ledek colonel Firm.

“The agent was immediately appointed as Commander Taifib all of you, so as to give orders to the taifib army as I please,” I replied with a smile.

“Can I recommend kok!” colonel Teguh played his eyebrows.

“Ready, awaited the results of his recommendation Ndan! Ha ... ha ..” We'll give him back the lead.

“If Benny gets married to Resti, Imam wants to be mutated where Yah?” ask the commander who made the entire room immediately speechless.
