After so many months in pesantren ustad ali, now with a steady heart and full of longing. Leo went home to meet his parents who had not told him for a long time.
Getting down from the taxi and standing right in front of the gate of the house where he was born, he stared longingly and sadly. While he was carrying his backpack, he entered the gate.
"Huh. Den leo wah with finally aden came home too." Security who served in front of the gate was very happy with the existence of Leo.
"How's the mang."
"Good den, thank God aden has returned. Since aden's departure, I've been sick and sick." Mamang's explanation made him shocked and immediately went to see his mother.
Leo ran into the main door, his tears rolling down his face. Up upstairs he opens the door to his mother's room, but when Leo opens the door. All eyes looked at him including his mother who was still lying weakly on her bed.
"My son leo." He spoke weakly with a broken voice.
Leo walked slowly with a blank look and tears were endlessly flowing.
"Mama hiks hiks forgive me ma. I'm sorry if it's because leo mama's like this, please let me apologize." His voice sobbed in the arms of his mother.
His father still stood up and threw his face in the other direction, including grandfather and grandmother and aunt and omnya.
They still disapprove of Leo's choice, they are still angry and feel disappointed by the actions that Leo took.
"Mama just miss you baby. Don't go again mama's not strong, mama's tenin ya son." Leo nodded and still hugged his mother.
"God willing ma." His father was surprised and looked at Leo with glaring eyes.
Just a few months disappeared it turns out that Leo has come this far, even the words he said were so eloquent and true.
"Leo's coming to the workspace right now." His grandmother was accompanying him in the room.
Arriving at his office, Leo remained silent without saying a word. Grandpa and his om and tantenya just waiting for what will be said by his father leo.
Plaque. . . A hard slap floated into Leo's face to make him grimace because it held the pain.
"How does it feel to be sick." Leo just silently listened to the question from his papa.
"Father leo's answer, are you aware of what you've done. ARE YOU AWARE OF THE IMPACT OF ALL YOUR CHOICES ANSWER." His father was very angry and had a hard time controlling his emotions.
"Sorry pa."
"sorry. What with your apologies, all problems will be solved and everything will be back to how it was." The others simply listened to their chatter without intending to interfere.
"Leo knows that Leo is wrong, I'm an adult too I deserve my life choices."
"Pa, please don't discuss this matter anymore. I can't leave my religion, this is my life's purpose."
"Your life choice says, first why can you turn away and even betray your own religion, answered me."
"Because I'm not sure about myself, but now I'm calm and comfortable with all this. Not like I used to go awry and always feel lacking."
"Children don't know themselves, you only have two choices." Leo was surprised by his papa.
"I mean papa."
"Yes, you only have a choice. Leave that woman or abandon your religion, otherwise you will lose your mother forever."
Deg. . .
"What is that papa's cut against me my own son." Leo returned to shed his tears.
"Why not. I give you 24 hours, think well before it's too late."
They all came out of his study, except for his aunt, who could not bear to see his hammering hammer.
"Prophey yo. According to aunt, choose what you think you should choose. For women there are still many out there yo, don't let you regret."
"Hiks why are you so cruel."
"This is life, every life there is also every choice yo."
"But why is it like this tan."
"You know what your father is like. Then be prepared to choose not to regret, aunt out first."
Now living alone in his papa's study, Leo sits on the floor weeping over his life. Whether he will be able to choose one of them, all of them are heavy choices.
"God why is it like this." At a time like this, only two prayers came to his mind.
Leo returned to his room to rest for a while, he would ponder over everything before deciding to choose.
Maybe this is a trial from God for himself, if he is indeed a match with adiba, God must have his own way to unite them later.
Verily, Allah is the ruler of all human life on earth, and He has left it all to Allah. He was sure that if all happened also on his will God would not test his patience limited to his ability.
