After the phone connection was cut off, Adel immediately rose from his seat, and immediately made a prostration of gratitude. He spilled out all the feelings that remained. Gratitude, relief, happiness, and also sadness. Long enough he prostrated himself, until all those feelings went off. Then get back up, and walk the morning activity.
When he got down from the second floor, he saw a visitor. He saw there was Luki in between. He simply greeted her, and continued on his way to the kitchen. He took bread and jam as breakfast. Madina seems to have left for school.
While enjoying her breakfast, Ms. Lusi followed her to the kitchen. He said that Adel asked his father to join the living room. Adel actually wanted to ask, what the purpose was. But his mother had immediately returned to the living room after delivering the message.if so, the meaning should not be denied or not obeyed. He feels there is a new challenge in the initial episode of his love story with Budi.
After breakfast, he left the table. He was actually lazy to join. But the shadow of his father's anger that his orders were ignored made him think again. Too lazy for him to listen to a loud voice with a high tone from his father's lecture. Moreover, he could already guess what it contained. He decided to follow that order.
“Assalamu’alaikum” greet Adel to those guests.
“Wa’alaikum salam” answer them.
They greet them one by one. Then sit between his father and mother.
“Nduk, this is Imam Pratama, his papa mas Luki” said Mr. Fajar introduced his guest.
“And this, Miss Susan, her mother is Luki” continued Mr. Dawn again.
Adel smiled and bowed his body slightly, as a sign of respect and greeting.
“Here this, want to make your vacation to Lombok, nusa tenggara bar” said bu Lusi.
“Oh, in what order sir?” ask Adel.
“Begini, mbak Adel. We want to have a new furniture store launching event there” replied the priest.
“Iya, on the mandalika” circuit deck, Susan said.
“Oh” response Short Adel.
“We think, there is no harm in ngajak mbak Adel. So that we can get to know each other better, continued Imam Pratama. Adel did not respond immediately.
“Udah, you are ready!” mr. Fajar's orders.
“But pak” reject Adel.
“There is no you know, the girl who has the highest honor, from the family of Imam Pratama sir. Udah, game!” cut Mr. Fajar.
“OK, Adel phone om Diki first yes, sir. Nanyain schedule. Adel has not asked for a copy of it” replied Adel.
“Make what?” ask Mr. Fajar.
Adel did not answer. He immediately stood up after asking permission with a nod of his head. He then went to his room. He asked for details of the gig schedule for this month.
It turned out to be just the perfect fit in the days where he had to go to college. In other words, the schedule is full for this month. Cannot be left because of the deal. He returned to the living room with his cell phone.
“Emm” he started the answer to the invitation of Mr. Imam earlier.
“Sorry sir, instead Adel intends to refuse, but Adel's schedule is already solid for this month” continued Adel.
“What do you mean, nduk?” ask Mr. Fajar with a look of dislike.
“Plan schedule yesterday, it's all deal, sir. It's been paid in full, again. That is, Adel can not be absent from the deal” replied Adel.
He gave me his phone to show me the agreed schedule. The atmosphere was quiet for a while.
“Kalo can propose, what if some of the background, Adel cancel? I'm ready to change the loss” Luki spoke up.
“Well, that's it. Agree” sahut pak Fajar.
“Iya, nduk. People only a week. No papa cancel also” sahut bu Lusi.
Adel did not answer immediately. He thought for a moment. Weighing, what is the most appropriate decision.
Indeed, he could have canceled some jobs that have been agreed. There is a mechanism set up in the deal.
But he also considered the fact that he could survive, it was because people knew that Adel had never turned down an invitation. Wherever the place is, in the form of mixed or other musical genres.
Different from other singers. Who felt famous, arbitrarily canceled the deal. Adel has never canceled a deal, no matter what.
He'll just cancel the deal, if he can't get out of bed, or his voice is gone altogether. And it has only happened twice throughout his career to date.
“Sorry Mas Luki, I don't seem to agree with Mas Luki” Adel replied.
“What do you mean, nduk?” ask mother.
“Iya. Is it hard to cancel one or two deals? After all they dapet replace ruginya” said his father.
Adel smile. He looked towards Luki, Susa ma'am, then at Imam Pratama.
“In the entertainment world, even though it is still local, Adel has started to get the name” said Adel.
“Terus?” asked father.
“Bapak must still be inget, how Adel build a career. No matter the heat, no matter the test. From his motor capital father, the old man. And it's not just a day/two days”
“Iya. then?"
“Adel can survive until now, even can be seen outside the city, it's just because Adel never refused an invitation. Never cancel the invitation. Unless Adel can't get out of bed, and the sound is gone. The only two are the reasons Adel dropped out of the deal. Adel was invited again, because people know, even to try the storm, Adel tep dateng. Not arbitrarily cancel deal” replied Adel at length.
Everything's silent. No one answered. All like being hit by an arrow, which is right at the heart. Make them not wart.
“I know, Del. I just give you input. Like people change their views about you, you also do not need to worry. If you marry me, you don't need to sing anymore” said Luki breaking the silence.
Adel did not immediately respond. For a moment, he looked at his mother. The look in his eyes made his mother wonder.
“Did you also stop singing immediately, when you said so?” ask Adel.
Susi was about to reply, but she paused. So it's just like the mouth opens, then closes again. He understood the direction of his eldest daughter's question.
“You don't have to worry, nduk. The history of the father is different with Luki” said his father. Adel turned to look at his father.
“Yes, any difference sih” replied Adel.
“Well, continues? What else?” asked father.
“But Adel never saw you cancel an order. Look who, I'm sure it's Mr. Fullin. Moreover, already pay lunas”
“Em, I want to ask the opinion of Mr. Imam. Is such an attitude appropriate for a businessman?” ask Adel.
“Del, don't just talk, you!” tukas mr. Fajar. The Imam himself smiled.
“Adel did not want to refuse an invitation from Mr. Imam. Adel also has no other meaning by talking this way. In addition to the job that Adel has agreed. If according to the Imam it is worth doing, Adel will sell it, pak” continued Adel. Mr. Imam Pratama widened his smile.
“So inget mama lecture time” chirps pak Imam Pratama. All eyes were on him.
“Mama would like to be equally papa, right because mama saw there is value in papa” continued Imam. Miss Susan smiled shyly.
“Papa is not the son of rich people, but has a high fighting spirit, also has a promising progress. I also know how serious. Polite with parents” he continued.
Susan's smile grew wider. He even really blushed in shame reminiscing about that history,
“Kalo we make, like we who do not have a fuss, pa” said Ms. Susan.
“Yes. Currently, Mbak Adel is in a position like a mama when papa deketin” first time said Imam. Susan laughed a little.
“Because it has not found that value, mama is still difficult to get. Although assisted by Dawn as well, keep aja cuek”
“Ha ha” bu Susan laughing.
“Means mbak Adel setipe dong, same mom?” ask Susan ma'am.
“The power is like that, ma” replied Mr. Imam.
“It's like history repeats itself, Jar. Just this among our children” continued Mr. Imam Pratama.
“Sorry my son, mas Imam” sahut pak Fajar.
“Ngak papa's. I'm even grinning. I am proud of Adel. He inherited your foresight. It's you, who taught me to do nintuin value”
“But right, mas, ... “
“Udah, don't feel bad. What did Adel say. It is not appropriate for a businessman, or anyone else, to negotiate a contract that has been agreed, without a very acceptable reason” cut pak Imam.
“After all this is just soft launching. The circuit is not yet so either. Just covered the land. The view is not perfect. Not necessarily also directly visited by many tourists” sahut bu Susan.
Everyone is nodding. No one immediately replied.
“Lain time can be” he continued.
“You, already have everything” said Imam pratama. Directly to his son.
“You use all your loving resources! Wear all your abilities! Wake up, and show your values! Let mbak adel see your value! Let me judge Adel, whether you deserve it or not, to gain his trust and also his heart!” continued the Imam.
Adel was stunned, he looked at his mother's face. His mother was equally stunned. Don't know what to comment.
“One more time, Adel apologize, sir, ma'am. Adel can not follow” said Adel apologized.
“Yes, no papa, mbak Adel. Next time, we arrange a schedule first, yes!” answer the Imam.
“Monggo, drink! Sorry, mas, seadanya” sahut pak Fajar.
“Can be you, Jar. Everything is out here, say how bad” replied Imam.
The three of them drank the warm tea. Shortly thereafter, the Imam resigned. For the umpteenth time Mr. Fajar apologized for Adel's refusal. And again the Imam understood him.
“What do you mean refuse to call Imam, ha?” ask Mr. Fajar while pushing Adel.
“FATHER?”
Bu Lusi squealed in shock to see her son being pushed by her husband until he fell to the floor. She helped her daughter to stand up again then sit on the guest sofa.
“You don't have to be a child! Just had a career of three years aja his style has been rich decades aja” maki Pak Fajar while pointing the face of his eldest daughter.
“Why do you refuse, ha? got a meaning? speaking!” continued.
“Kan Adel has said, sir. Adel already has a schedule that must be full Adel. Why is it again?” answer Adel.
“Schedule, schedule. Fuck your schedule. You're a high school dad, sing again, sing again. You want to marry a businessman. What is your singing style? How much are you from singing, huh? Abis you marry Luki, ten times your honorary singing can also be recorded in a day. If you are rich, your attitude. You just kill your father slowly. Wanna put where dad's face is, ha?”
Adel did not answer. He doesn't know what to answer yet. Susi knew her daughter was scared. He pulled Adel's body into his arms.
“Lagian, local artist just you, what? there is no you also a road trip.even fortunately they if dapet compensation. They ask for three times also given the same luki”
“Bapak really does, so people. This is your son, sir, not your labor. Mr. aja nyari employees conditions are very much. As easy as it is the father of his own child mate the same person who is not yet clear how the person”
“That's your son, Adel. It's so obvious. He's handsome, rich, moreover, ha?”
“Yes where Adel knows he's a good boy or not. Also new known. Adel agrees with the words of Imam. Value, that's what Adel's been looking for, sir. Adel wants a guy who really ngarep the same Adel, continues to fight for Adel's heart. It doesn't matter who he is. If the person turns out to be Luki mas, no papa. But show first if he really wants to dapetin Adel. Show me the value of more that can make Adel want to give Adel's heart to him. Not just a fortune. If only for treasure, many would, sir. It's not just Adel. Definitely what makes dapetin attention he also ngantri. Then what does the status of the wife, if out there, easily she dapet another girl?”
“That's, what else do you thinkin', ha? others remember when the year is not. You don't use disamperin directly. Don't be a kid! The boy must be how his father is. His father was loyal, his son was definitely faithful”
“Whose word, sir? I've had a lot of friends, fellow entrepreneurs who blatantly want to book Adel”
“What did you say?”
“Mau Adel absent one-on-one? Adel screenshoot, yes. Adel sent it to my father. The behavior of people who are already rich from birth”
Then Adel plays his phone. He was busy gathering evidence of conversations from shameless people.
“By their ease adel temptain. His wife was waiting at home. Pas Adel asked why sedain Adel, the answer is almost the same. Bored at home. The one at home is chatty, it is not cool, it is not interesting. The one who openly wants to be Adel as a mistress also exists. But Adel sent. You must know them”
Mr. Fajar was silent. He opened his phone and looked up at what his daughter had sent him. The angry face became more visible.
“Know where Luki is a good person, if what you say is really good turns out to be a bastard? Now he looks good, obedient, attentive. He's rich sir, he's got a lot of money. Adel needs mastiin first if he is really good. I really like Adel, not just his father. If only his father, ancur,pak. Don't be afraid if again marahan, immediately go find an affair. Or if engak, Adel who was expelled from his home”
Mr. Fajar could not answer. He is still inexhaustible, if the person he has been measuring in terms of success, it turns out to have been presumptuous to tempt and demean his daughter in such a way. And it became a logical consideration for Adel to argue.
“Segalak-galaknya father, Adel still see there is value in the father. Dear father with family. Most importantly, he was loyal. When I had nothing, I fought with all my heart for my mother, Adel and Dina. Now, have everything, you stay loyal to your mother. Even if the mother is very chatty. Have you ever looked for another woman? Don't you? The rich that Adel wants, pak” continued Adel.
Mr. Fajar did not answer. He just left her with his mother. Bu Lusi hugged his eldest daughter. In his heart he did not expect that his little daughter, now an adult. I can think far ahead.
