Heru climbed Vespa which was parked beside the Sedan Yuda car, "Let's go up. "suggest Heru.

"yes, sir "Yuda is sitting behind the wheel

Heru drove his vespanya casually around his hometown, then Heru stopped Vedanta "Nak see.." while pointing at the expanse of green rice fields because Newly planted "it all belongs to the Father, from the end there... until here. "while pointing.

"Father farmed? "asked Yuda

"of course, son, this father is a farmer, his parents are Father to Father's grandfather are also farmers... "

"Waah, that's great sir, I think you're a businessman... "

"Looh. The businessman is number 2, number one is the farmer... "

"Great.." said Yuda to applause.

"ayo naiik."pajak Heru.

"where are we going, sir? "

"you will know later... "

after ten minutes, he arrived in a garden surrounded by a fence of trees that Judah did not know there hugs some workers who were on duty there..

Heru stopped the vespanya and parked it beside the garden fence

"Let's son. "take Heru.

They set foot into the yard of the vast garden was greeted by some workers "Sir.

Heru takes Judah around in his garden

"Sir ..any tree here. isn't that an orange? "

"right, here there are oranges, mangoes, and apples... "

"yes, a lot of sir.. "

then they sat in wooden chairs under the mango tree. "come here son. "take Heru while patting the empty place beside him, then Judah sat there beside his father-in-law, and he sat there, sunlight entering the gap from shady leaves accompanied by the sound of breeze blowing gently through the leaves

make the heart of anyone who is there feel so peaceful

"What do you think...? "heru's words are ambiguous

"meaning Father...? "asked Yuda confused

"Rania... What do you think of Rania...? "

Yuda is a little confused as to what he should answer, because he actually does not know Rania well let alone love her...He was silent and thought with his heart2 every word he would say...

"Rania.. good girl, innocent and innocent." replied Yuda spontaneously,

"He. it is true that he is like that.Your answer is the same as the words of people who have known him... you know why he graduated high school at 19...? at his age he should have gone to college... "

"Sir, shouldn't he be in college? "

"It was a time when little Rania liked to climb this tree. "while pointing at the mango tree right above them.

"you know son. at the age of SD he was very happy to follow the Father into the garden and must have always climbed the tree as he pleased without fear, right at noon came home from school Rania invited her friend to play gardening and they both climbed, not long after. arrived2. bugh, his right hand was broken, and the doctor brought him to Jakarta, because of his long recovery he finally quit school one year... "

"Ooh..so like that, naughty too yes... "

"he.. that's her, behind her innocent and playful attitude, actually she is a mature girl who dares to take big decisions in her life, dare to risk his future in order to please both parents as a sign of devotion, the two of you are met not with love and affection but you are met with the ridho of both your parents is more noble because as a child the parents are the Ridho of God... Kid.. don't worry about love, over time love will grow and develop and you will feel later you should know son, son, such love would be an unshakable force would be an undeniable trust and would be an invincible affection...you will feel the joy of the love that God gives, not of our passions, that is the sacred love that comes slowly but surely that you should be grateful for.. if later you do not find it then the father's speech is wrong then return it and take it back to his parents... You understand son..? "

Judah nodded in assuring that he understood, he could not say what2, everything his in-laws said was the truth, he was lucky without explaining everything his father-in-law had understood how he felt, he said, but one of her in-laws did not know that Judah would always find a way to end this marriage... And of course I'll give your daughter back when the time comes...

Heru patted the shoulder of Yuda "Father entrust daughter Papuk to you son, take good care of her... "

"Yes sir, God willing, "Juda answered briefly.

Then they went home and brought a bag of mangoes ...
