Tell Your Father I'm a Muslim
Longs
Early in the morning David was getting ready for school, his father appeared suddenly.
“David, would you like to pray first into the church before leaving for school?” his father offered.
“Sure dad, I'll be facing God this morning.” David smiled.
“You look so happy today (You look happy today)," his father said.
“Surely, Dad. Going to school and meeting some friends there always make me happy (Sure, Dad. Going to school and meeting friends there always makes me happy).” David lied. It was not his friends who made him happy that morning, but a Muslim woman he knew for only a day, Maryam. David can't wait to see her again at school today.
He stepped in the middle of the empty pews towards the pulpit court in the church. He stood right before his Lord. He bowed, then rolled his hands together and put them on his chest.
“God, I'm in love, but he's not at my faith, I'm sorry if you're angry. I want him to be mine. I only knew him for a day, but I loved him very much, Lord. Help me make her mine.” David pleaded with his Lord in his heart.
After he finished praying, David immediately went to pedal his bike tightly, Pinocchio his beloved dog looked sad when David did not say goodbye to him.
”David forgets to greet you. He’s too enthusiastic to see his classmatess. Don’t worry, he still loves you, Pino (David forgot to
lives you. He was too excited to meet his friends. Don't worry, he still loves you, Pino!).” Rush
keep stroking Pinocchio's head. The dog just roared.
David was still paddling his bike hard. His heart could not wait to meet Mary. That morning New York City was bright, as bright as David. After arriving at school, he was surprised to see all his friends were in class. His eyes circled the classroom, he did not find Maryam.
”Hey Dave, this is a good news. That terrorist girl has been away. She moves to International Islamic School. Ha.. Ha.. Ha.. (Hi, Dave, there's good news. Girl*******that's gone. She moved to International Islamic school)” Jardon laughed happily.
”Stop it! I’ve told you before that she’s not terrorist. Mind your words! (Beauty! I told you earlier that he's not *******.
Camden it!)” David is not kidding this time. He was shocked to hear his friend's statement.
”Yeah, whatever you say. I don’t care. But thanks God, she’s not here anymore. Mrs. Violen said that she has moved from here. (Well, whatever you say. I don't give a shit. But thank God, he's no longer here. Miss Violen said she had moved from here)” Jardon was no less upset.
David was weak, suddenly he was sad. Where should David find Maryam? Why didn't he ask for his address yesterday? Even his name David doesn't know. But she had just felt it, and now she had to forget her first love forever. David sat on his stool in a doldrums.
“Hai Dave, are you sick again?” ask Anggel who had been watching him. David just kept quiet, not caring. He immediately ran out of class without caring about the greeting of Anggel. Arriving in the parking lot, David took his bicycle and pedaled it tight to the stop. Jardon and Anggel looked at it strangely.
David got off his bike and stood there holding his bike near the stop, hoping the hooded woman would come to see him. Hope that couldn't happen, he knew it. Just yesterday the story began, and today must end.
“Did God not allow my love for Maryam?” david thought to heart.
David kept waiting and waiting until the sun sank, but Maryam never came. The hooded girl had really made David's heart melt. He felt completely hypnotized. During this time David never like this, he was always indifferent to every student in his school.
Meanwhile, his dog Pinocchio kept circling and barking waiting for David. His adoptive father is also not calm, he is worried why David has not come home. His father was still thinking about David's disease which he kept secret. He was worried that what the doctor said was really happening. The priest walked back and forth agitated.
”Pino, come get in. It’s been dark outside. Dave must be home soon! (Pino, comein. It's getting dark outside. Dave must be home soon)”
Shouted Rushel on Pinocchio. The dog roared and walked with his tongue out into the dormitory, entering David's room. While his foster father was still waiting for David in front of the church.
New York felt gray that night. David's heart ached. He was sad, longed and lost, but only for a day he was with Maryam. Having tired
sitting at the stop, David gave up, he paddled his bike slowly. All she had in mind at the time was Maryam.
”Where are you? I’m missing you here. (Where are you? I miss you here)” Her heart whispered, as she continued to pedal her bike home.
Arriving in front of the church, David saw his father was already staring in front of the church. David showed his father a sad face.
”You should not play too much with my son, your condition is still not healed properly, thankfully you have come home, I reallyj worry about you, Nak.” Her foster father was a little agitated.
”I'm fine, Yah.” David answered weakly.
”Sgratitude.”
David went into the church dormitory. Upon arriving at his room he immediately lay down. He saw that Pinocchio was very spoiled tonight, perhaps traumatized by David's death a week later when he was hospitalized. David never left her again. He rubbed Pinocchio's back slowly.
”She’s gone. I can’t see her again, Pino. I’ve lost her and it hurts me. A lot's. (He's gone. I can't see him anymore, Pino. I lost him and it hurt. Very painful)” There's a cloudy tangle in David's face.
Knowing his son was sick like that, Rushel immediately compressed his forehead with a wet cloth.
“Your body is hot again. Today I'm going to school to ask your homeroom teacher for permission. Rest here,” said his father sadly.
David was silent.
For almost three days David did not get out of his bed. The monks took turns to visit him. David is their heart. So many happy memories between the monks and David since he was taken care of by his adoptive father to teenagers like today, that's why they
very attentive to David.
Anggel came to visit him alone carrying a fruit parcel wrapped in white plastic and beautiful pink ribbon ties.
“Where is Jardon?” ask David slowly to Anggel.
“He is still upset with you,” replied Anggel.
“I'm sorry if I messed up your intentions, but trust me Anggel, he's not ******,”.
“I don't care. He's moved anyway, right?” said Anggel while smiling.
“Iya, she has moved.” David replied rather weakly while harboring his sorrow and longing for Maryam.
Angel looked at David's face. He was sad to see his sick friend. Actually, Anggel has harbored his feelings for David since he first set foot in Senior High School. He tried to ignore it and kept it deep because he saw David never showed the same taste so he chose to be quiet.
“Magel..” call David slowly.
“Yes, Dave?” anggel replied curiously.
“Have you ever been in love before? (Have you been in love before?)” ask David to Angel. Anggel's heart was pounding as he heard the question. Why not, David is the only man he loves right now.
“Me?” ask Angel nervously.
“Yes, you!” David answered to make sure.
“Yeah, I have. Everybody has too, I think, (Yeah, I've been. Everyone has also, I guess)” answered Anggel briefly.
“How does it feel? (How does it feel?)” ask David again.
“You’ve never been in love, have you? (You've never been in love, have you?)” Angel asked back.
David just smiled, “Just answer my question! (Jawab only my question!)” David said again.
“It feels like a person who has severe problems, stress and does not want to do anything but think about it. I feel this way because the people I love don't care about me, never understand me,” said Anggel full of feelings.
David fell silent, his mind glaring at Maryam.
“I feel the same way too, Angel. To the woman you consider ******* that,” David said in his heart.
