Meeting Point

live happily

Basically, the good and the evil man, scattered so much on the face of this vast earth. Just because one creature comes from a bad environment does not mean that it will be equally bad. Every human being has equal rights and opportunities to be a good human being. Even if he was born from a really bad environment.

"Father of Rama, yesterday you came to Pesantren? The giman? Exclaim?" Ask dad.

At this time, Father, Brother Rama and Aretha are carrying out the morning meal ritual together. Of course with food made specifically by Aretha, armed with experience learning from Azka first. Either Aretha should feel grateful or feel very sad. Because of everything he did, he always reminded him of Azka.

"Yes, that's really exciting, Dad. Are just found out that the pesantren owned by Abi and Umi is very broad. The facilities are also very complete" replied Aretha enthusiastically.

"Is there anything that makes you interested?" Dad asked as he looked at Aretha curiously.

For a moment Aretha thought of the answer to Dad's question. Because even though he has visited there. Aretha had never visited all the facilities in the Pesantren. He had only been to Abi's house and Umi also helped them in the garden. That'sallthatis.

"Emm,, actually, Are has not surrounded the entire Pesantren area either. But he said, there is a horse race and also the horses. Are really keen to learn to ride" replied the girl enthusiastically.

"There's a horse race area?" Ask Rama surprised.

"There are, but Are has not squirmed directly anyway"

"Wah... very luxurious well" said Kak Rama Takjub, Aretha nodded her head assented. Agreeing to what her brother had just said.

"So, are you seriously going to study there?"

Aretha glanced at the father who was currently looking at her closely. Then nodded his head convinced "yes father" he replied firmly.

With a proud smile, Bani's father rubbed the head of Aretha wrapped in hijab "today, the father who drove you to school well?" Her request.

"Daddy not working?"

"Work, after you've done it, Dad will go to work"

"Aren't you getting any nicotine?" Ask the girl that it's not good.

There was laughter from his father and his brother. Even Brother Rama pinched Aretha's cheeks so anxious "noose, no nicotine" replied Dad with his laughter.

After that, they resumed eating activities accompanied by a few laughs. The eating atmosphere they had long missed. No lie if they both miss this togetherness, togetherness that might be difficult to happen again in the future. Because, they will return to their loved ones, who are currently waiting for their return.

"A real school, don't date mulu" the father advised after Aretha got off the bike.

"Dad shit, Are never dating. I don't have a boyfriend either" Aretha said upsetly.

"But that's your boyfriend already there" said the father, pointing to a man standing in front of the school gate.

Aretha followed the direction her father had pointed. Seen Jovan who was standing in front of the gate, while looking at them "father mah.." with the promise Aretha looked at his father. Even now his lips have been perfectly pursed.

Anxious, Bani's father rubbed the mane of Aretha's head with a smile that was so sincere. "If you want to go out with her, just go out. I'm not gonna ban it"

"Ck, his son wants to move. His father was supporting him to the wrong place"

Spontaneously father laughed loosely, even dimples on his right cheek were visible. A very rare sight Aretha saw, other than long ago when their family was still in complete formation. With a sweet smile, Aretha also smiled happily. Now, Aretha does not want to be selfish, she will let go of her father to be happy together with the woman she loves. Even so, the woman had inflicted such a deep trauma on Aretha's life.

"Dad, happy life yah.." pinta Aretha while hugging her father was tight.

Bani was silent stiff to get a sudden action from her daughter, before finally she returned the embrace of Aretha was not less tight.

"Go home, meet your father's wife and make a happy and harmonious family together with him" Aretha said as she looked at her father.

Bani shook her head, then re-hugged Aretha tightly "no, I've thought about it carefully. Dad's gonna take him off"

"No, no, no! Are wants you to live happily, you used to say right? If he was the only one who could make me happy. So, don't let go of him. Come back home, he must have been waiting for you"

"What he's done in the past is the same to you, it's unforgivable. All this time my father was blind, my decision to keep him was a big mistake. Therefore, allow me to make up for all my mistakes, allow me to make you happy"

Aretha took a deep breath then let go as she let go of her hug on the father, then clasped the middle-aged man's hand tightly "well, Are's happiness is to see the happy father. Are knows, the trauma experienced in the past has not healed. Are is also not sure he will be able to meet again with him, but Are wants a happy father. We want everyone to live happily. Are's biological parents, have now been living very happily. Brother Rama has now found his home and lives happily with brother Asma. Azka,,,, she's happy too. Are sure, now Azka has reunited with aunt Lia and her sister. And for dad, Are wants you to live happily. Although difficult, please forget the past well. Let's start a new life and make our own happiness. Dad, too, deserves to have a harmonious and happy family"

Without saying a word, Bani's father hugged Aretha tightly. His tears even fell soaking his two eyes. Her lips felt so faint, not knowing what to say. "You deserve to be happy, son"

That sentence, just came out of Bani's mouth. Without saying anything, her daughter hugged her even more tightly. Guilt increasingly gnawed the heart of Bani. The past cannot be changed, even Bani is not able to change everything that has happened in her family. Everyone has the right to live happily, if Aretha asks him to live happily, then his daughter must also live happily.

Although Aretha hid it as deeply as possible, Bani knew and also realized if. Her daughter had always taken anti-depressant drugs and sleeping pills. Therefore, neither Bani nor Rama, they both did not want to leave Aretha alone. For that reason, they always delay their return to Balik Papan and Jogjakarta. Although Aretha said to be closer to Allah SWT, do not lie if they feel afraid. They were afraid that Aretha would do something that would take her name. Because the mental condition of her daughter is not okay. And Satan has had thousands of years of experience tempting people to sin.
