It was a very busy night for Raihan. That night he was overtime for his last time in Germany. Because after this, he will try to other countries to increase his knowledge. Akbar, who was furious, heard that Raihan did not come home, called him. It shouldn't be Raihan like that, going home once a year is much more than not going home at all.
At that time, Akbar was visiting a boarding school and stopped by Rifky's house. Hearing the story from Rifky, which Raihan never came home made him very angry.
"Oh, he's young. Let him fly as he pleases, he's looking for his identity again, Bang." said Rifky in a weak tone, as he was recovering from his illness.
"Hahaha, Brother Rifky can say that on what basis? Me, Almarhumah Kak Ais, and Syakir only also school and work abroad. But we still remember coming home. Unlike Kabir who was an officer first, but he still remembers coming home! I worry about his faith later," Akbar upset.
"Sister Rifky knows, right? How's the country? Muslims there are very minimal, I'm sure you don't need money and luxury goods from Raihan! Get him home!" snarl.
Seeing Raihan not picking up his phone, Akbar grew increasingly upset. He asked the whole family to call him, so that Raihan realized if there was a family who expected him to return home. For a long time, Raihan finally lifted the phone from, Akbar.
"Assalamu'alaikum, what's the matter Om?" ask Raihan.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, what's up, what's up. Are you proud to live alone, right? Don't remember coming home? Remember, in your house there is still one parent who still needs your attention!"
"Om, but... "
Raihan just kept quiet and listened, he was unable to interrupt the words of his brother.
"You saw Airy and her husband. They are willing to live in the pesantren area only for the sake of Kakung and Uti, they can also monitor the health of Papamu which has begun to decline. Aren't you more selfish than Airy, Han? Come home soon, or we won't consider you family anymore!Wassalamu'alaikum!"
Akbar just hung up his phone. It's very emotional. Confusion struck Raihan, his work was not yet finished, but the family had told him to go home quickly.
"Papa, I'm sorry Raihan. It's Raihan's last year here, Pa. After this Raihan promises to go home, not that Raihan doesn't want to take care of you, Pa." he regretted.
"My burden is heavy, I'm the first brother of many younger brothers and sisters. Company, pesantren also initially I handle, but why do they seem to label me as a child who does not know in profit," he grumbled.
"O Allah, astaghfirullah hal'adzim. What I'm saying is this, whose name is a parent to respect, Raihan. Be aware! 1 Parents are able to care for 10 children, but on the contrary, not necessarily 10 children are able to care for 1 master, O Allah, Lord,"
As soon as Raihan finished the job, he also wanted to go home. Gathered with other families, but the burden of the will from his adoptive father still troubled his mind. On the other hand, his Papa needs him too. Now, only prayer and effort accompanied him the entire time.
