With great force, Rial asserted his father's wishes.He did not want his father was angry with him again.
"Yes Dad."
Nia's mother knew that Rial was trying to comply with her father's request.
"You can find the school you want" Nia's mother took the conversation between her husband and Rial.
But it was immediately denied by Mr. Arif.
"Nobody can argue with me.Rial must be one school with Erna."
"It's not so well.but the school that I mean is a superior school.to enter the school is very strict test." Nia's mother tried to calm her husband so as not to misunderstand him.
Rial, Sari and Dani are silent when their parents argue.
"Rial is smart, the test results are also good.Ayah sure Rial can enter the school." Mr. Arif once again forced his will
He was so confident that Rial could enter the flagship school along with Erna.
While Erna certainly will graduate in that school, because Erna's parents are teachers at that school.
That's what makes Mr. Arif make sure his son will enter the same school.Erna's parents will definitely help him.
The food on Rial's plate, Dani and also the sari from earlier had already been exhausted.But because they were not tasty to leave the parents who were arguing about Rial.
"Pa.ma..Rial get into the room first."Rial interrupts the conversation between his father and mother.
Followed by Dani and Sari.
"Yes ma..yah.sari also finished eating."A soft sentence came out from the little mouth of the sari who did not understand the conversation of his parents.
The three of them left their parents who were still arguing.
Nia's mother also relented to her husband.he did not want to make her husband angry like that.
While Mr. Arif is still spending the food that is still left on his plate.
Nia's mother faithfully waited for her husband to eat.
"Cock quiet?" ask Mr. Arif to his wife.
"No, my mom is done eating."
"Yes, my father is also done." as Mr. Arif stood up from the dining table and into his study.
In this workspace, Pak Arif can stand for hours even he can fall asleep in his study.
In his study, he also kept mementos with his first wife who had long died.
Mr. Arif's first wife died while giving birth to Rial.Therefore he loved his son was even willing to give what was best to his son.
Mr. Arif was sitting in his study in the desk drawer, his hand reaching for a box that was quite large.
Mr. Arif opened the box, he took a photo that was outdated.
It was a one-on-one photo of his mother Rial.She loved his wife so much that even his love for his wife who now was not comparable to his love for his mother Rial.
While holding the picture of his wife, Pak Arif expressed his apology to his wife.
"Ma..sorry for slapping our son earlier.You must be sad, you saw him earlier right?"
mr. Arif felt guilty for slapping Rial earlier, even though he loved his son very much.
Before his wife died he promised to raise Rial with affection.
Mr. Arif thought, his wife would be sad because she slapped her son.
While inside the room, Rial thought of a way how he could avoid Erna.
He also found ways to graduate from that school.From all those requirements, he will definitely pass because the national exam scores fall into that category.
Rial was desperate, he had no choice anymore.
In desperation, he found in the school's requirements that one of his requirements should not be colorblind.
"This can be used, I can pretend to be colorblind." This is the best way according to Rial.
Finally Rial could smile and take a good nap.
While Mr. Arif was still in his study.Mother Nia knocked on the door, she did not dare to just go in.
Mr. Arif would be furious if he did that, then Nia's mother would knock on the door first.
Mr. Arif immediately put the picture of his wife in the box because he knew Nia's mother was knocking on the door.
"Well.yah..Can you come in."Nia's mother had 2 cups of tea in her hands.
Mr. Arif immediately hurriedly kept his memory box in his desk drawer.
"Come on Ma'am."
Nia's mother immediately entered because she heard the order from her husband.
Nia's mother opened the door, in her hand there was tea.Although Nia's mother could enter at any time in her husband's study but she did not dare to touch the items in the workspace.
"What's wrong, ma'am, is there anything important?" ask Mr. Arif to his wife.
Because usually, Nia's mother will only approach her husband in his study if there are important things that will be discussed.
"It's about Rial yeah." Mr. Arif can already guess about the direction of his wife's conversation.
"What's wrong?" Mr. Arif has calmed down it doesn't seem like it.
"Dad don't force Rial dong."
"This is all for the good of Rial Ma'am." Mr. Arif immediately got up from his seat and stood at the window while looking at the plant in front of his house
"It's nothing Well.how if Rial rebelled.Become a disobedient child "nia's mother worried to Rial.
But the statement of Nia's mother is still not ignored by Mr. Arif.Pak Arif is still firm on his wishes.
"Mother don't have to worry.Dad knows what you're doing.So mom take it easy." Walking up to his wife and holding hands tried to calm his wife who was worried about Rial.
Nia's mother had no choice but to comply with her husband's request.
"Yes it's Dad...We'll have tea first, yes, you've made it special for me." Nia's mother took a cup of tea and gave it to Mr. Arif.
mr. Arif grabbed the tea offered by his wife.
"Thank you, Mom.." Mr. Arif smiled.
Nia's mother was grateful to see Mr. Arif's smile from earlier was angry.
"Mom drinks too." Mr. Arif invited his wife to have tea with him.
"Oh yes sir, Sister Dina will come tomorrow from the village."
Dina is the younger sister of Mr. Arif.Dina lives in the village with her husband and children.
Dina is a teacher who teaches in the village.
"Oh yes, ma'am.."Mr. Arif is happy because his only brother is going to the city.She already misses his sister.
