Chapter 5. Memories

6 Years have passed, Ilham the boy who is still in Primary School, after a few years finally growing up and now occupied Junior High School, with quite a lot of achievements he achieved during school in elementary school with his best friend Ramzi.

When Ilham came home from school he changed clothes and immediately cleaned up the housework like a mother. From an early age he always taught his father not to depend on others, so that Ilham never lazed - lazy to do it all, as well as ease the burden of his father after tired all day of work.

In the afternoon the fresh air and the trees were swaying due to the wind. Inspiration who had done the homework, fell asleep on the sofa while waiting for the father to come home.

After Mr. Herman arrived home, the beloved Son was sound asleep and ignored his greetings. Mr. Herman took the initiative to immediately wash his body and immediately headed to sit beside Ilham.

“Son, sorry Dad, you have to learn discipline early on. Because this is the only way that you will not depend on others.” said Mr. Herman who was sitting next to the head of Ilham who was sleeping and rubbed - gently wipe the hair of Ilham with a smile.

“Eh Dad has gone home?, Sorry Well Inspiration overslept,” Ilham replied after seeing his Father's face from above his head, then Ilham immediately woke up and moved to sit.

“Had son, sorry Dad so disturb your sleep until you wake up, here sleep back in Dad's lap,” said Mr. Ilham while gently pulling Ilham's head and put it right in his lap.

“No bothering ko Dad. Dad must be tired yes, here Inspiration incandescent!” Inspiration to the Father for feeling pity.

"No son, it is precisely you who are exhausted have cleaned the house and work that is quite heavy at your age,” said Mr. Herman.

“No Problem This father will have the obligation of the Son to help his handsome father hehe...” Reply to Ilham while mocking his father.

“Ah you could have overhauled your father.” said Mr. Herman with a little laughter.

Ilham arrived - suddenly remembering a few years before feeling a joke of laughter from his mother. Inspiration pours out its feelings to his father, because Inspiration is a very open and honest person.

“Yah Ilham remembered something, Inspiration so miss Mother Well, thought I missed Ilham not Yes Well?.” said Ilham who was repulsive surprised Pak Herman and Mr. Herman immediately daydreamed.

“Yah replied Ilham dong ko instead daydreaming?” he was inspired and took his father's hand.

“Ah Yes Father is not daydreaming. I must miss once with Ilham,” Sahut Pak Herman who actually does not know the real answer. He was just trying to cover up to calm his son's heart.

“But why Mother never visited Ilham, but Ilham was not naughty.” Say Inspiration with a flat face and pouting lips.

“Maybe you already have a job out there and are busy so you don't have time. Don't think badly about other people including your mother!” said Mr. Herman advising his son.

“Good Well. But Inspiration may ask tell me no, early Dad met Mom. Inspiration please Well this time just follow Inspiration!” Ilham pleaded with his father to grant it.

Finally Mr. Herman obeyed the request of Ilham to tell his story with his wife Nur. Pak Herman told as much detail as possible while turning the memory of his old memories.

The flashback

[So when I went to school I was a very quiet and cool person. Many people want Dad to be the partner of the women, but Dad at that time was determined to continue to learn and maintain the achievements to boast of Daddy's parents, so Dad did not have interest in dating.

Until I met your mother. Your mother is a very beautiful woman but she is different unlike any other woman who chases after Dad. So, I think that's a challenge. At first I just liked your mom. But unexpectedly when I wanted to play basketball your late mother hit me.

Brukk, Dad's drink spilled on his shirt as a result of being hit by your mother,

“It hurts, uh m - sorry I didn't accidentally, because hunt,” said your mother while staring at Father's face.

“Nothing, next time don't rush!” answer Father.

“And that's your drink spilled onto the shirt how, where's the white shirt again. It's all my fault, I'll take responsibility!” your mother said as she picked up the tissue and wiped it on Dad's wet shirt.

“It's okay. Later let me clean it myself, besides there will be eskul basketball. Can change sports clothes.” I held your mother's hand to stop wiping her.

“Ya already once again I'm sorry ya!” Your mother replied a little shivering.

“It's forgiven, already there in class , later get point again!” Tell Dad with the right cheek to smile a little because of your mother's behavior in front of him.

Get your mom into her class. Arriving to class he immediately took a paper to do. During the work of your mother made him daydream because he was confused Dad was not angry.

“Why Herman is not angry at all yes, I guess he will punish me for my carelessness, it turns out that behind his cool, he is very gentle, what a dream!” your mother said smilingly thinking about the incident.

The repetition was completed and had entered the break. Your mother went to the cafeteria because she had not had breakfast in the morning, it turns out that right in the pocket Your mother saw the very handsome man was drinking with sports clothes soaked in sweat and forehead sweat makes your mother stunned, yes who else if not Dad hehehe...,

“Aduh handsome once, but it is not possible if I go to the cafeteria later I myself the wrong behavior. But if I don't go to the office I'm going to pass out holding hunger, where can think of a second huftt, huftt,” Your mother thought and finally she entered the cafeteria to prepare food and drinks and tried to ignore Dad.

“Bu rice goring plus her eggs a serving ya Bu!” order your mother to the cafeteria, don't forget she ordered her drink.

“BU iced orange one yes!” Your mother paid for the food

“Ok, Thank you Neng.” Mother canteen while offering a plate of fried rice and a glass of orange ice.

“Same as Bu.” Your mother immediately sat in an empty place and ate the food.

A few mouthfuls of bribes were heard from Dad's feet.

“Can you sit next to?” ask Dad.

Your mother also saw the face of the voice and it turned out degg, yes it was Dad.

“What else does he approach me, can it be hot cold I.” muttered your mother in heart.

“Hai kok bengong, I nanya loh,” Saying Father resuscitated your Mother's daydreams.

“Eh yes please,” Answer your mother a little deg -degan.

Your father and mother ended up eating together and after that your mother tried to distance herself from Dad, but somehow, fate always brought us together. Your mother can't resist if you're already nearby.We end up getting close through short stories of curses, questions or even mutual help. Dad finally expressed love to your mother, whether this is true or like a dream, we finally made it.

After quite a long time finally Father and Mother graduated and after 4 years later I want to bring her relationship to a serious level, Dad will go to your mother's house to ask for her parents' blessing.

“Assalamualaikum introduce my name Herman Bu, have been dating Nur since High School. My intention here is to take our relationship to a more serious level, do Mom and Dad allow?” Father's permission to Mother Rere and Mr. Rizky, trembling with hope to be approved.

“Waalaikumsalam, oh this is Nak Herman who Nur often talks to Mom and Dad. I am God willing to disturb you, as long as you never hurt and disappoint Nur, my decision was given to Nur himself,” replied Ibu Rere and Mr. Rizky.

“Eum Nur receive goodwill Mas Herman, Ma'am, Sir. Thank you so much for your blessing and trust. Nur is lucky to have parents like you!” Nur immediately hugged his Father and Mother and shed tears in their arms.

“thank you very much Sir, Ma'am. Herman promises to make Nur happy until we age!” father's cool cry was broken because it was moved to be blessed to marry the girl of his dreams.

Dad's family already know your mother and make her own child and Dad has been given blessing by your parents Mother, this is a very perfect happiness. It turns out that not all relationships end in separation, and not all men betray the sincerity of a woman. Our relationship is just waiting for H day to come to the wedding.

[The Flashback of]

“So that's how it's like, Son, and your mother always tells us our memories when your mother hasn't left us. So I was sad at that time not because only your mother left Dad, but Dad failed to hold the promise to keep Mom happy.

“Sometimes the journey of life leaves us confused. Relationships based on very strong love are even destroyed and unintentional through meetings even lead to happiness. The path of God is hard to guess. But behind it all a lot of life lessons that are very very meaningful,” Mr. Herman's story Long, unexpectedly Mr. Herman's tears again wet his cheeks.

“You don't have to regret that. The important thing is that you have tried your hardest to continue to strengthen the household but God Belium allows. Hopefully Mother out there can be happier and far from calamity,” quiet Inspiration while wiping her father's tears.

“Iya Nak Aamiin Father always wishes your mother the best,” said Mr. Herman with a small smile

“Thanks ya Well already told, Inspiration so feel happy.”

“Iya Nak, same!”
