My priest
Will Ustad Ilham agree?
After the funeral of Mr. Grace, everyone returned to their homes. Stay papa Roy, ustad Zaki, karyo and istad Ilham, and on the other hand there are mama Ira, ustazah Lihah and Hanifah.
"If ustad Ilham wants to stay here longer, it doesn't matter." Said ustad Zaki.
"Thank you, ustad." Ustad Ilham.
"Sammit, you're welcome." Said ustad Zaki.
Ustad Zaki saw father Roy and invited him to meet.
"With the plan of the deceased?" Ask ustad Zaki.
(Small : friends).
"Nggeh sir, kulo rencange Almarhum." Papa Roy said.
Because it was late afternoon for Zaki and his family to say goodbye to go home.
"We said we went home first, it's almost surup." Said ustad Zaki.
( Surup: the sun is almost sinking).
"Monggo, monggo." Ustad Ilham.
"Sir, wangsol riyen njeh." Pamit ustad Zaki's.
(Wangsol: go home/riyen: first ).
"Sir, be careful on the road!" Papa Roy said.
"Slave, suwun." Said ustad Zaki.
"Pamit riyen ngggeh ustad." Ustazah Lihah.
"Nuggeh ustazah." Answer ustad Ilham.
And Hanifah just bowed a little bit.
"Asalamualaikum." Says the family of ustad Zaki together.
"Getishalight." Answer Ilham, papa Roy, mama Ira and karyo.
After Zaki's old family came home, Karyo also said goodbye to go home.
"Ham, I don't muleh sek ya wes pak maghrib iki." Karyo.
(muleh: go home ).
"Sug, suwun." Ustad Ilham.
After they all went home, there was Papa Roy, mama Ira and ustad Ilham.
"Ilham, papa. mama kedapur first yes, want to cook for dinner." Said mama Ira.
"No need to open, let me." said Ustad Ilham.
"Father, the inspiration to have a conversation was the same, yes" said Mama Ira softly.
"Yes, you're here, I have something to ask you." Papa Roy said.
Mama Ira left them both.
Papa Roy opens the conversation.
"How do you feel now, is it still sad?" Ask papa Roy.
"Because before I came here, I asked Grace. Has the pain improved? And he said that he's cured, but he's lying." Papa Roy said.
"Sorry son Ilham I don't you know, but I always send money for him to seek treatment but why doesn't he seek treatment?" Follow papa Roy.
"Send money to my father?" Ustad Ilham was surprised.
"Yes, every month." Answer papa Roy.
"What is the name of Mr. Roy Purnomo?" Ask ustad Ilham.
"Yes, I'm Roy. I think you already know." Papa Roy said.
"Oh God sir, forgive me. I am not polite with you." Said ustad Ilham while kissing papa Roy's hand.
"No papa." Papa Roy said.
"Thank you so much sir, you've always helped us." Ustad Ilham.
"Here you are, I have my own family. So no need to thank. By the way besides teaching what else are you doing?" Ask papa Roy.
"Filling lectures, taking care of ponpes and taking care of ponpes paddy fields sir." The ustad Ilham.
"Good dong." Papa Roy said.
"Snack." Answer ustad Ilham.
"By the way, what did Grace say to you?" Ask papa Roy.
"The father told me to marry Lula and take care of her for me." Ustad Ilham.
Papa Roy is surprised to hear the last word of the friend, who is still thinking about it.
"Religion." Papa Roy's eyes glazed over.
"Father is not papa?" ask ustad Ilham.
"Lula. she's my daughter." Papa Roy said that he surprised Ilham.
"We used to have an agreement that we would match our children, but since you and my daughter are so far apart, so Grace canceled them." Papa Roy said.
"It was my intention to come here to ask Grace to rematch you to my daughter, my daughter, she. I don't know how to talk about it" said father Roy.
"No papa, you just talk" said Ustad Ilham.
"I had miseducated her, she became a naughty, unruly girl and always acted as she pleased. I've done everything, even I've put it into the pesantren 3 times and he always ran away. every time he came home from the pesantren he would be getting naughty, now he has a bad lover akhlaqnya, he's got a bad lover, my wife and I were afraid that she would choose the wrong partner. My wife always cries when thinking about her daughter's future, so I ask you to consider this matchmaking son. But if you don't want to, don't papa, we don't want to force." Papa Roy's.
The mind seems to think.
"Give me time sir, to decide" said Ustad Ilham.
"Alright, you don't have to rush to decide, think about this well because it's for your future as well." Papa Roy said.
"Ngggeh sir." Answer usta Ilham.
