The Father's Lies

Farhan Enthusiasm

Three weeks passed by Bayu in his hometown. The development of silahturahmi and the efforts it achieves is growing rapidly. In addition to Bayu whose name began to improve along with his hard work has begun to be widely known by his noble colleagues in his village. Until the Bayu cafe became a favorite tongkrongan place by the young elderly.

Bayu wants to open a New Branch in the city and start introducing the typical Farhan mother food to his cafe. Even additional menus that are traditionally made modern become the attraction of visitors to linger in the cafe owned by Bayu.

" About which area is good we open bro?". Farhan asked as they gathered at the baby house in the village.

"Still I think and I survey first Ndra. Later you accompany me around the city of padang ya." Obviously Bayu.

"Well, I'll gladly comply with your request." Replied Hendra who ceaselessly chewed fried bananas as well as cassava chips typical menu applied in the cafe. "Who are these foods inspired by, bro? I ate as if I didn't want to stop chewing, also very softly smoothed in my mouth". Ask Hendra again who is curious about the same typical food applied by Bayu as if not willing to stop.

Bayu smiled and grabbed the banana fritters stuffing his feathers.

"It's Farhan's mother's cooking, because the food she made woke me up to the confusion of life after the incident a few months ago. Also I have set up a cafe there like this". Obviously Bayu.

"Ooo the boy who saved you time in that tangerang. How long you been living in the house, bro?". Ask Hendra again.

"Until I was last here. I've been considered their son, they're so kind as Farhan. Because they're the ones who gave me the strength to come back here. I even love them so much". Obviously Bayu. Breathing out slowly "I also plan to develop a business there as well as Ndra. The plan is about two weeks I'll be there" explained Bayu again.

"Haaaahhh, what kind of business here? Many branches lo bro." Hendra was a little surprised to hear Bayu's explanation.

"Alhamdulillah we entrusted sustenance like this Ndra, and I will rely on you to take care of that here. Mother will also help take care of the ones in the village, later you only control it. I'm counting on you Ndra as my confidant." Obviously Bayu.

"I'm glad Bay you're talking like that, but you haven't been here a month. You I've considered your own brother, otherwise if there's you I'll feel lonely." Obviously Hendra with a sad face.

"You're like a little boy, bro. Not much different than Farhan." Sayu.

"Emang Farhan what the hell is bro? How good is it that you compare me to this handsome one." Said Hendra in the style of a selfie with his hand on his chin.

"Haha... Could have been lu Ndra. Farhan was 20 years old. He's very mature and knows the religion the most, but he's also patient. I also consider her my sister, and her parents my parents. Anyway he's a good man that I'm going to protect like my family here, including you. I hope I can find you guys later, let's get together." Saying with a little enthusiasm.

"Amiinn, may we all be given health". Hendra.

Two days later Bayu already got a suitable branch spot. Bayu who accompanied Hendra worked quickly and precisely. They are targeting to open a new branch a week after finishing the decoration. After the new cafe launching event in the city center of Padang he just plans to return to tangerang again.

Driinnggg.... Bayu's phone rang while he was busy preparing his new store decoration.

"Hello, asalamualaikum". Bayu replied after putting the flat object in his ear.

"Walaikum salam mas Bayu, how are you? Also the family there should?". Ask Farhan from across there.

"Alhamdulillah Han healthy, there healthy too right?". Ask Bayu.

"Alhamdulillah healthy mas, even very healthy also increasingly crowded cafe". Said Farhan no less enthusiastic.

"Alhamdulillah, your pantesan sounds very excited. It turns out that you have started to control the cafe. I've read the financial statements you sent Han. Of all that after counting we can open a new branch for Cafe FB family Han. We'll talk about it when I get there, yeah". Obviously Bayu.

"Yes my sister, I also always follow the orders of this very experienced boss." Farhan. "Oo yes mas Bayu. Mother and father will want to vidio call because kangen same mas Bayu. If the Bayu and family are not busy". Farhan again.

"Well Han, I'll call vidio and mom and dad. Both mothers of Bayu also want to talk so it's really time later tonight". It was clearly Bayu who expressed his daily busyness to not think about the past wounds.

"Yes, my mom and dad will be happy later". Farhan said enthusiastically.

"Yes Han, well I'll finish the job first huh. Yes, yes kbari". Sayu wants to end her phone.

"Good mas. May the plan of Bayu be launched by Allah swt". Garhan said.

"Amiin, thank you Farhan. Asalamualaik". Added Bayu.

After Bayu ended the call with Farhan he focused on decorating his cafe. Likewise with Hendra who faithfully accompanied Bayu.

The night has passed, the congregational magrib prayer has ended. Bayu and his two mothers have been sitting at the dinner table and Hendra joined Bayu at his house after a busy day.

"Waaaahhh this Banget. This must be the cuisine of Yulianti's mother and Rahmi's mother". Said Hendra Sumpringah looking at the food menu on the table.

"Yes my mother's second cook bro. Is there anyone besides us at home? There-there's just you". Saying Bayu who nagged Hendra.

"She relax, bro. I just create a cheerful atmosphere so say it like this. Sensitive very you're like a mother-mak bunting". Hendra ngaur.

For a moment Bayu immediately fell silent and was realized by those who were sitting at the table eating. Hendra felt guilty with his words.

"Sorry bro, I was wrong." His words are sad.

"Hmmm, this is Bay's plate, Ndra." Sela Bu Yulianti offered a plate to eat. Yulianti's mother purposefully so as not to grieve at the dinner table.

Bayu took his plate 'I was the one who was most happy to see Nita pregnant with my son, because now the situation changed she is my sister destroyed. What is wrong with a baby in Nita. What is wrong is that I do not think well in the way of God. O Allah forgive your sinful servant, O God. One by one my mistakes have been made by me. Although I do not know what to do to make amends, but this guilt does not want to disappear' Bayu's inner with teary eyes.

All eyes on the dining table were on Bayu, they were aware of the cause of Bayu's grief.

"Son, don't remember anymore. You are young and the road is long. If you remember that your father and Nita won't settle down there." Said mom Rahmi holding the shoulder Bayu also accompanied by a smile of Ms. Yulianti.

"I'm sorry, bro. Because of me, you're going to recall that pain". Hendra said with guilt.

"It's okay, maybe this is God's way of reminding me of my mistake. Let's go eat, it looks like the menu is really good". Sayu tried to calm down.

The clang of the plate in a quiet atmosphere at the dining table. No one dared to talk at the meal.

After finishing eating Bayu made a sound so as not to look sad.

"Mom, Rahmi's mom. Farhan called me earlier, said he and his family would have a chat with us". Sayu is calm while smiling holding her phone.
