Tell Your Father I'm a Muslim
Crying out
Maryam's father was restless to learn that her daughter had not yet returned. He called someone.
“Did that man touch my son?” ask Maryam's father to someone over there.
“No sir, but they are still facing each other. What am I supposed to do?” ask someone across the phone.
“If he dares to touch my son, then you act!” His father sighed in annoyance and hung up. Zahara, Maryam's beloved cat, looks agitated to see Maryam's father showing an angry face. The cat walked to the main door, either waiting for Maryam or just a leisurely walk. What is clear is that if Zahara can talk like the cats in Hollywood movies, maybe he will call Maryam and say that the situation is dire, his father is spying on her at this time.
***
A monk runs in search of David's father. When he saw her at the park, he shouted.
“Father.... Father..!” Said the Monk gasping.
“What's up?” ask David's father to be curious.
“So I saw David at the bus stop face to face and looked very familiar with a teenage girl who used a veil. She seems to be a Muslim girl. I'm worried, Father. Should I have David confess tonight?” friar
that looks anxious.
David's father was silent, his gaze suddenly blank. I don't know what he's thinking, maybe everything will be clear if David's home. Pinocchio peered behind David's bedroom window, as if he knew and understood what the monk and David's father were talking about. The dog did not dare bark, maybe he was afraid of being interrogated, because he was the first to know David's true feelings
"You want to go home? Can I take you by bike?" bargain David slowly to Maryam.
Maryam was silent, lowered her head and raised her face, “Honestly, only this time I was close to a man. You're different, Dave. You're so
different from most Americans. I want to ride a bike with you, but don't be so fast!" Maryam said yes.
The bike was slowly driven by David. The feeling was so calm that afternoon, as calm as Lake Luray Caverns Virginia which radiated light from the reflection of water in the earth. Mary also felt the same, she just smiled along the way.
"Can you tell me what living in Dubai is like, Maryam? How's teenagers?" ask David while pedaling.
Mary was silent, and she opened her mouth to speak.
"I feel constrained there, not free at all. Let alone cycling like this, looking at men I can't. It's free here. I found a lot of women and men kissing in public. Of course I disagree with the act, because it is forbidden in my religion, and I don't like it either, but there can be 23 days in prison. I used to read in the newspaper, a British woman named Charlote Adams, she worked at a real estate company. He often teased his male friend by kissing the cheek, finally he was imprisoned for 23 days." Maryam was relieved to have a story companion. All this time only his favorite cat became his story companion.
"Then, if cycling is like this, what is the punishment?" david's taunts to maryam.
"It's not the judge who will punish you, it's my father!" Mary answered him while chuckling.
"Your father must be firm, huh?"
"Not exactly, but cruel."
David remained silent. He imagined how desperate he was to love the child Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates. Especially after hearing Maryam's story, she immediately goosebumps. He had a lot to deal with, especially the differences in beliefs and cultures that were clearly very different. But the magnitude of his love for Maryam was able to dismiss all that.
"Down here!" Pinta Maryam's.
David braked his bike. Maryam also came down. Usually when a lover takes his lover home, there is a scene where
his girlfriend kissed him, but David had to appreciate Maryam, and he promised not to touch her.
"I'll go home first, I hope you leave quickly. I'm afraid your man's gonna find out. For our safety. Thank you for
take me home" said Maryam sincerely.
"I’ll miss you. See you tomorrow and take care. (I'm gonna miss you. See you tomorrow, yeah)" David said a farewell sentence, then turned his bike.
"Yes, you too!" Shouted Maryam.
David was riding his bike hard. He sings with excitement. His face was always smiling happily. He sang his favorite Justin Bieber You Smile song.
"Maryam, no matter what happens, no matter hard it feels, I’ll always love you. (Maryam, no matter what happens, no matter how heavy, no matter what,
I will always love you)" David muttered.
Maryam stepped slowly towards her room. A coughing sound sounded suddenly.
"So that's what's keeping you from moving to another school? Because of the Americans? I know everything!" His father said firmly.
Mary was trembling with fear. He still remembers how he beat up his sister's late home when his father found out he was kissing his Pakistani girlfriend, until his brother was stressed and killed himself because he did not want to be separated from his girlfriend. But this time, it was only the sound of his decisiveness that made Mary tremble, her father did not beat her.
Suddenly his father was crying. Maryam looked down and felt guilty, she kept quiet.
"My son, what will you say to God when you are questioned at his greatest court, if I cannot take care of you and keep you from sin? Really, I do not want to be rude anymore.It is enough for your brother to sin," said his father in the middle
sobs crying.
"It's dad's fault I shouldn't be working here" he added..
Mary was silent, suddenly her eyes were watering.
His father took a breath and spoke again, "Dad wants your brother as Asiyah bint Muzahim the wife of the Pharaoh who greatly guarded his honor and holiness, so he gave his name Asiyah. And I want you to be like Maryam bint Imran whom God sanctified by giving birth
his son Jesus without a male touch. I want you to keep chastity like them. But alas, Asiyah had failed because father was unable to take care of her. Your turn. You want me to be tortured in Hell for not knowing what to answer in His court?" sobs
her father's.
Mary continued to cry.
"I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry." Mary knelt before her father, "By God, not a single American touched me. I
dare swear!"
Mary continued to cry, her father stepped away from her. Zahara, his favorite cat, did not dare to approach Maryam, but he wanted to be petted and spoiled.
