But if you are my happiness, how can I go?

Shara has arrived at her house, the embrace of the Umi welcomes her arrival.
"Ara, Umi's daughter," kissed Merry on Shara's right and left cheeks.
"Assalamallaikum, Umiku." Shara returned the warm embrace.
"Wa'allaikumussalam, dear."
"How was your vacation? Pleasant?" asked Merry while holding her daughter into the house.
"Thank God, Umi. Full of memories."
Merry frowned, wondering what memories his daughter had during a vacation in the town of Kembang.
"Oh, huh? What memories are they, baby?" ask Merry.
"Later the story, I'm tired of Umi." Shara dropped her body on the sofa.
Merry rubbed his daughter's head, relieved that the princess had returned safely.
"Yes, Umi lives in the kitchen first" said Merry.
Shara nodded while smiling at her Umi. For a moment he closed his eyes, feeling the fatigue on his body. Without asking, Sakha's shadow suddenly shot through her mind.
"Astagfirulloh, why do I always remember you?" Shara pensive.
"I miss you" Shara said in her heart.

Airin was still watching Sakha who was silent in a thousand languages, he wanted to start a conversation but saw the attitude of the lover who was like thinking about something, making Airin undo his intentions.
"We can definitely get through this," finally the sentence was said from Airin's mouth.
Sakha still remained silent, several times she sighed. His mind was now muddled, he had lied to both of his parents. That makes him very sorry.
"I can be what your parents want me to be, I want to do whatever they ask. What do your parents want me to be like? Or what do I want to do?" Airin continued to pelt Sakha with the questions that came to her mind.
"Rin, this isn't about what my parents want or what you can do! But it's about blessing, about the old man's ridho." Sakha spoke in a snapping tone, her lips trembling.
Airin was surprised, only this time Sakha snapped at him. Only this time the lover who had been sweet to her, could speak in a high tone to her.
"Is this because of Shara?" Airin started to glaze over.
"Kok so take Shara?" Sakha frowned.
Airin raised her head, wiping away her tears that slid without her control.
"Sakha, I know you have more feelings for her."
Sakha was silent, unable to cover up her feelings for Airin.
"Don't talk about Shara, she has nothing to do with this." Sakha weakens her voice.
"Why? Is that so special of her?" Airin.
"You've only known her, she could have pretended to be a good girl!" As Airin exclaimed, his emotions began to rise to the surface.
"Enough! Don't talk about Shara. She was a very good woman," Sakha was angry at Airin's words, her breathing rumbles.
Airin is increasingly hurt, disappointed by Sakha's completely changed attitude towards her.
He grabbed his bag lying on the table, Airin left without saying goodbye.
Sakha realizes her outrageous attitude towards Airin, she turns to chase after the woman who has been with her.
"Airin," call Sakha.
Airin didn't make the call, he ran as hard as he could. For now, Sakha had really let her down.
Accidentally he saw a public transport, Airin quickly stopped and boarded the public transport.
Sakha's steps came to a halt as Airin passed, her breathing stinging.
"Astagfirulloh, why did I get to yell at him." Sakha rubbed her face rough.
As Sakha is unable to catch up to Airin, she decides to return to her home.
Along the way to the house, he was not constantly beristigfar.
Arriving at the gate of the house, Sakha was welcomed by her father. Step slowed.
"Dad to talk!" Excited Sakha's father.
Hearing her tone, Sakha already knew what was going to happen. He just puts everything in order, and wishes the best for everything.
"Sit down!" Sakha's father's orders.
Sakha nodded obediently, she momentarily took her breath slowly trying to be calm.
"Bismillah" he said in his heart.
"When did you start dating?" Ask Sakha's father in a firm tone.
"Emm, three years ago." Sakha answered.
"He was my college friend first" Sakha replied.
"Why are you dating?"
Sakha was silent, the father's question was hard to answer.
"I-I don't know." Sakha felt her tongue twitch for a moment.
The father frowned, he looked deeply at his son.
"What do you get out of dating?"
"Who told you to date?"
"Dad? Mommy?"
"Dad knows, I often force you to get married. But has your mother ever asked you to date?"
Sakha's father bombarded the child with questions.
"Decide!"
Sakha raised her face, she did not expect that her father would say that.
"But,"
"Decide or marry her!"
Sakha's father moved from his place, leaving his son still in his place.
"Dad wait for your answer, tomorrow night!" said Sakha's father before it really passed.
Sakha propped her head with both hands, she grabbed her hair in frustration.
"Astagfirulloh, what should I do, O God?" Sakha continued to rub her face rough.

At night at Shara's house, she was reading a book after praying isya. Before long she heard a knock on the door, Shara went to open the door of her room.
"Umi, what's wrong?" ask Shara.
"Can Umi come in?" ask Merry.
Shara nodded, She held her Umi hand towards the sofa that was inside her room.
"Why Umi, does anyone want Umi to talk to Ara?" ask Shara again.
"Yes, Ra. Umi just wanted to talk to you, ", Merry replied as she stroked her daughter's face.
"When do you want to get married?" ask Merry.
Shara fell silent, "Umi why ask about that? Ara is a woman, and she is chosen, not chosen." Shara.
"What about Adam?" ask Merry again.
"Adam?" Shara lowered her face.
"Umi, can Ara not like Adam?" ask Shara.
Merry frowned, "why? You don't like Adam?"
For a moment Shara let out her breath.
"Umi, Adam limits all my business. Ara is uncomfortable," Shara said solemnly.
"Son, Adam was a good boy. From childhood you have been close friends" said Merry.
"His parents were also close friends of Umi and Abi" Merry said.
"But, Ara felt constrained." Shara sobbed slowly.
Merry rubbed his daughter's tears, not knowing why Shara was so depressed with Adam. As he thinks, Adam always looks after Shara wherever she goes.
"Umi didn't force you to be with Adam. Umi wants you to be with a man who can be a priest and your life friend, Umi wants you to be happy," said Merry sincerely.
Shara smiled in relief, "thank you, Umi."
The mother and son were now hugging each other, truly a soothing sight.
"Oh yes, he said during his time in Bandung you have many memories, what is it?" asked Merry curiously.
Shara fell silent again, Sakha's memory now began to fill her mind.
"He was a great man, he was able to give me comfort. He warmed my originally cold heart. Makes me laugh with all his behavior. But now he's gone, and he may never come back."
That is what Shara wanted to reveal to her mother, but her tongue was unable to voice her heart. Shara chose to harbour all her feelings, alone.
