Chapter 39: Rachel Hijrah (2)

Her father and mother Rachel reach Rachel's hamlet one day after getting word from Miranda. As they approach Rachel's boarding house they meet someone else.

"excuse me sir, do you know a girl whose name is Rachel? " ask Rachel's mom.

"ohh mbak Rachel's. He moved over there buk. "appoint the new occupant of Rachel's renovated room.

When they came Rachel wasn't home. "where was the boy? Called also not lifted, really want to be beaten! "

"do not emotion pah... Who knows Rachel just played... Like we used to. " said the mother nervously.

"it's too bad he plays, but it's better. "

The father was surprised Rachel arrived just as his son picked up his phone. The father immediately snapped at Rachel and asked for her location.

"hello Hello! Where are you now?! How dare you reject the call of father! "

"is it true that you converted? Answer Rachel honestly."

[right sir. I converted because I like the boss Arqan. ] replied Rachel as she is.

"oohhh so Arqan is your motivation. Just wait, you're gonna beat him up! "

Phone turned off. Rachel is currently in the study cottage with Arqan, the Throne, Rukaiyah and the teacher teaching her. They prepare to face the rampage of Rachel's father.

"good luck, bro. I want to hide first, later if there is violence then I appear. "the throne goes because it does not want to make the situation feel strange.

The throne is at odds with Rachel's mother's father. The throne knew them from the photo Rachel showed. While they did not know the Throne as a close friend of Arqan.

"a little while the religious war begins." murmured the Throne inwardly.

The appearance of Rachel who wore a negligee dress and a long veil proved that she had truly emigrated.

The mother cried and knelt to the ground. The heart of the father was hot, he immediately came and pulled the collar of Arqan's clothes standing next to the ustadzah.

"you...! What are you doing my son...?!!"

Arqan against Rachel's father. Fight by removing her collar with the middle-aged man's grip. "I didn't do anything to Rachel. He converted because he listened to my story about the prophet and the apostle of the Muslims ", Arqan said.

"that's what you do!! "

Rachel's father threw a fist at Arqan, lucky that Arqan was able to fend off the blow.

Rachel protects Arqan and he is hit with a blow that leaves the area under his eyes bruised. "don't sir! "

"bring you! This kid should be taught a lesson. His father had trouble sending him to school, he even converted because of men."

Rukaiyah helped Rachel as well as the mother who helped protect her child. While the father was detained by Arqan and the Throne. "don't let go, we tie this father to a tree" Arqan said with a choking voice.

"come here Rachel!! "

Rachel was terrified to see her father go crazy like that. His whole life he'd never seen his father that angry. Rukaiyah calmed Rachel down by hugging her. The mother approached her husband who was snared in a tree, asking him to calm down and think with a cold head.

"make your son think with a cold head! I won't consider him a child again if I convert! You hear Rachel's dad? From now on you are no longer my son!!! "

Rachel's tears spilled at her father's words.

Arqan had already prepared the dope if something like this happened, but to use it required permission from Rachel.

"put my father Arqan to sleep... " Rachel give consent.

"what did you do to my husband?! " the mother gripped Arqan's arm firmly.

"i've asked Rachel for permission to anesthetize my mother's husband. The anaesthetic is harmless, now we will take it to the hamlet so that it can restart the conversation with a cool head" Arqan said.

The mother disliked Arqan because of her power-smoking attitude. "don't forget you are the cause of all this. I will not forgive you, may my son receive guidance from Jesus and the holy spirit. "the mother prayed her prayer in front of Arqan.

Rachel had no idea what prayer her mother had read. He never studied religion seriously that is one of the factors that make it easy to leave the religion. Because he doesn't recognize her.

Rachel pleaded with her mother to come to the village to discuss the matter.

The mother agreed too. His anger was instantly gone when he saw his daughter's face, she was so innocent and fragile. The mother thought Arqan was forcing her son to convert.

***

5 Hours later at Arqan's house. Rachel, Arqan, Rachel's Father and Mother, Aunt Miranda, Okky Ustadzah (the body that led Rachel to convert), Throne, and Rukaiyah sat together in the living room. 

Why at Arqan's? There is no particular reason, just a coincidence.

Rachel's father was calmer, he asked his daughter why she had just changed religion. The father asked for a clearer answer than before.

Rachel, who sat in front of them, explained, "i never studied father and mother religion well. And I never went to church of my own accord. These are the 2 reasons why my faith is not strong. "

"the reason why I chose Islam. First, because of the influence of association. Second, because the people I like are Muslims. And thirdly, I was cool when I listened to the arqan story of the prophet and the apostle. Those three reasons are enough to motivate me to convert."

His mother was silent to the explanation of his son. Aunt Miranda shouted inwardly, blaming herself for this incident. Nein watched the person from behind the wall.

Finally the mother dared to speak after silence for quite a long time. "Rachel, I don't approve of your relationship with this man. He's fox. He used the mother's request to approach you and pull you down the wrong path" his mother said with great disappointment.

We all know that Arqan never used Rachel's mother's message. They become close and fall in love because of the natural selection they go through.

Arqan defended himself by saying, "I never used your message. Rachel and I became close because we often helped during the disaster. I helped Rachel when she needed a job, when she was bullied by Nam ODGJ, who is not here now, and Rachel was targeted by a stalker, and then when she was in pain from the moon."

"in that long time I became acquainted with Rachel."

Now replace the silent father and the talking mother.

"i appreciate all your kindness to my son, but I still won't bless you" said the mother in a sign.

"Rachel, now you choose. Want to be with your lover or remain part of the family, in the sense that you leave your religion. "

That question left Rachel in a dilemma. On one hand he loves his extended family.on the other hand he loves Arqan and his unique memories of being with him.

At times like this Rachel chose Arqan. Because he was the one who taught religion more than both his parents. Rachel conveyed her answer gently so as not to hurt her parents.

"Rachel chose Arqan. sorry mom's dad." replied Rachel steadily.

"then from now on you're not our son anymore" said Rachel's mother and left with her father.

Rachel didn't try to stop her parents, maybe that's the best thing. "tomorrow I'll cross your name from the family card. "threaten her father, but tomorrow it won't be just a threat.
