Prayer for My Third Night
Forced to Accept
"Sir, here's a dress to change Brother.The bathroom is next to the kitchen, sorry because we don't have a bathroom in the room so you have to go out of the room and go to the back to clean yourself" said Dya when he returned to his room after cleaning himself and changed clothes with a much cleaner robe.
"Alright, thank you" replied Kala flat and cold.
Seeing the attitude of her husband who was so cold and flat, Dya could only let out a long sigh.
"Hopefully the choice of the Father is the best for Dya Pak, pray for Dya in order to sincerely accept this marriage, sir. And may Dya never disappoint Mr. aamiin"
Gumam Dya after seeing Kala disappear behind the door of his room.Dya also came out again to prepare all the needs that will be needed when tahlilan later.
Dya also joined Bi Murni and other mother mothers who helped prepare the needs of tahlilan later.
After praying Isya congregated the fathers who were mostly neighbors around the house of Mr. Adam also began to go to the modest house owned by the late Mr. Adam to follow the advice to pray for Mr. Adam who had gone home to life.
With a sad face and puffy eyes, Dya welcomes the fathers who have been willing to present to pray for the father in his simple home.
Accompanied by Mr. Gara and also Kala, Dya also prayed for the father solemnly.Kini Dya also continued to strive hard and no longer let out his tears.

After the tahlilan event was completed, a simple snack was seen starting to be laid out in front of the fathers.
The greeting was presented as a sign of gratitude for being willing to attend and pray for the deceased to be placed in the best place and forgiven all his sins.
"Sorry to know who this father is?" ask one of the residents who was curious about the presence of two foreigners who were so painstakingly helping the process of seizing from beginning to end.
"Include me Anggara Mahesa, a close friend of the late Adam and the in-law of the Dya and this is Arkala Mahesa, Suami Dya"
Contact people who heard Mr. Gara's statement made gawking in disbelief.Pantas course both are so active in helping the funeral.
Even now the two are still participating in the first tahlilan event for Mr. Adam.And it invites a lot of questions from the residents who saw it.
"Son Dey is married?but when is that?as far as I know Mr. Adam has not given any thanks"
Clearly there was a puddle of tears in his eyes when he heard the explanation of Mr. Gara.Dya did not expect if the request of the Father was his last request.
Although he did not know Kala well, Dya tried to sincerely accept his marriage with the newly met man.
Towards the evening the guests also withdrew from the tahlilan event at the home of the late Mr. Adam and returned to their respective homes to rest.
"Son Dya, for now and seven days ahead stay here and after the seventh day of the late Adam kamui come with us yes"said Mr. Gara started talking privately with the girl who had just become his son-in-law.
"Insha Allah Pah.Dya will follow but for seven days allow Dya here first to pray for the Father"
"Yes, son, Papah also understands but sorry if you can not accompany you here because tomorrow Papah will make a business trip abroad.Next week there will be people who will pick you up to move.How?"
"Yes Pah, Dya follow how my Papah says"
"When you accompany your wife here while Papah is away.Now Dya is your responsibility" said Mr. Gara who now switched to talking with his youngest son.
"Mmmm" replied Kala only with a mutter.
"SCALE"
"Yes Papah, When you listen and Kala understands" answered Kala was embarrassed by everything the Papah did and did not match what he wanted.
While Dya himself can only bow his head.Dya know if Kala really does not want this marriage.
But all has happened, both of them did not have the opportunity to refuse or just ask for time to think.
Both are forced to accept all the decisions of both parents in order to live out the last request of a father who wants to marry his daughter before she leaves this world.
