The Healer of the Sinner

Towards Nizam Room

"Anwar, are you sure of this decision? Nina just graduated from school. Will he be able to accept Nizam if he knows the true state of Nizam?" asked Mr. Alkaf pessimistic about Nina's ability, especially the girl had just enrolled as a student.

"You don't worry Alkaf, let us explain everything to Nina. When it comes to education, aren't there now many married women but still able to continue their studies?" said Mr. Anwar.

"Over the years we've known about Nina, so don't worry about my son's decision, he'll understand much better if he knows the problem. Alkaf, Nina is the only child we have, I want her to have a husband and family who can accept and love her like we do, and I'm sure that she could get it if you and Zainiyah were her in-laws. Please, take care of Nina if later we can not take care of her," continued Mr. Anwar who immediately made the atmosphere become sad.

Mr. Anwar who indeed felt he was old and maybe could not take longer to maintain and give his affection and witness the happiness of his daughter felt that his age could be taken at any time by the Power, the Lord said, considering lately he is often sickly.

Mr. Anwar also has no problem about the physical problems of his prospective daughter-in-law. One that he believes that the son of Mr. Alkaf must be a good young man, he said, it is only the disorder that currently has to be repaired and Mr. Anwar hopes that his son can help the problems faced by the Al-gazali family.

"I'm so lucky Alkaf, for having met such a good person like you!" exclaimed Mr. Anwar while taking a cup of coffee that had tasted a little cold on the tongue.

"I should feel lucky Anwar, we were met with unexpected circumstances, but everything made a new relationship as a friend is able to make us both help each other." said Mr. Alkaf

"I'm very, very grateful for your sincerity in making Nina my son-in-law, even though this is just a plan, but I'm very happy, Anwar!" said Mr. Alkaf while embracing the shoulder of his wife who had secretly been crying for being carried away.

Mr. Alkaf himself felt anxious to cry, but his male soul refused to shed tears at this time, Mr. Alkaf tried to dispel his tears by looking up and rubbing his eyes so that the new water did not come out.

"I am very happy Alkaf, because it feels still useful and can help you," Mr. Anwar said solemnly.

While the two women who were next to the two of them were only involved in feeling haru and happy. Although Bu Aminah felt a little doubt. What if her husband's decision is unacceptable to Nina? For the time being, Ms. Aminah cannot do much because of the great debt to the family of Mr. Alkaf.

Although Bu Aminah gave a very convincing answer to Mr. Anwar. Ms. Aminah just wants to be a wife who always supports her husband's decision. However, there are still doubts that are tucked away. Hopefully Nina can accept it and face her chest.

"Alright, Anwar, Aminah. We want to go home first and will soon give this happy news to my son" said Mr. Alkaf followed by his wife.

"Send our greetings to Nina" Bu Zainiyah told Ms. Aminah before she left Mr. Anwar's house. After the departure of the guest, Bu Aminah met the husband who was sitting in the living room to finish off the remaining drinks.

"Sir, is our decision correct? Is Nina going to accept this match? While our child does not know who he will be betrothed to," Ms. Aminah tried to say her current worry.

Pak Anwar explained at length to Bu Aminah. And it made Bu Aminah regretted asking that question. Ms. Aminah shed tears hearing what came out of her husband's mouth.

"I'm sorry, sir. May we both live long. I am sure that the decision of the Father is best for our child," Bu Aminah hugged Mr. Anwar and regretted the question.

****

Mr. Alkaf who just arrived at his residence just entered the living room where there is still Zizi with Korean drama. "Darling, is your brother home yet?" asked Mr. Alkaf with a face of sumringah.

"Hi, Pa! I'm home, huh? He just got upstairs, said he was going to take a shower. Which mama?" ask Zizi who has not seen her mother enter the house.

"It's still outside, it's probably picking things up in the trunk" Mr. Alkaf replied. "Honey, Papa wants to go to your brother's room, later if your Mama goes in tell you to go straight up, yes" said Mr. Alkaf then stepped towards the stairs to Nizam's room.

Tok tok...

"Nizam, can Papa come in?" asked Pak Alkaf while knocking on his son's room door.

"Just in, Pa." said Nizam in there. Mr. Alkaf opened the door to Nizam's room which was not locked.

Nizam who had just finished wearing the shirt was heading towards the mirror to comb his long hair. The wet hair and shirt he was wearing looked so handsome even if only inside the house.

"What's up, Pa? Tumben came to Nizam's room?" with hands that still styled hair through the reflection of glass in front of him. Nizam put down the comb and then stepped towards the Papa who was sitting on the sofa of his room.

"Something to talk about, it's important!" starting with a serious face looking at his son. Nizam sat down by Mr. Alkaf's side and looked into his Papa's eyes which showed that Mr. Alkaf was being earnest.

the door that crackled open wide made Nizam's attention and Mr. Alkaf turned to the door where there was Bu Zainiyah poking in and closed the door tightly. Ms. Zainiyah took a single chair that was on Nizam's desk in the corner of the room and brought her closer between her son and husband.
