The Preferred Priest Candidate

Receiving Application

Oh Allah.thank you. With my pain, You have reminded me of the love of my father and mother that is so abundant for me.

I really feel guilty about them. Just because of the application issue, I dared to yell at mom.

And all this time they gave their best without me knowing their distress and pain. The more flashes of the past that occurred to Nana, the more tears came out wetting the pillow she was hugging.

" Sobbly.." hearing mother calling from behind the door, Nana hurriedly got out of bed and wiped her tears.

Jeggrek. After Nana opened the door, she brought in a bottle of water and a plate of rice for Nana's breakfast.

" God can take it for himself, ma'am. Adek is healed. All of you want to take the books to prepare for the exam, " complained Nana who still occupies the second floor room of her house.

" Come on, let's eat this first, let's feed the mother."

Nana obediently finished the food, followed by a few grains of medicine as a cover.

Nana watched her mother clean the room. Until Mom passed carrying a plate and dirty clothes from inside the room, she was still unable to say the word "sorry" which so smothered her chest to mother.

In the room alone, Nana tried to reflect on her current state.

" Is it possible that I should accept that proposal huh? I was determined not to date again !" said Nana while throwing a blank look at the park, from behind the glass door of her room.

According to Nana, now is the time for her to make sacrifices. Because maybe this is the coolest thing a girl her age can do. Sacrificing feelings for the happiness of his parents. Whether the soap opera he is inspiring, but it seems that the soap opera has had a good impact on Nana.

" Sobbly, "call the father who is walking near where he is standing.

I opened the door in front of Nana. The wind was so cool that you shifted the glass door.

" Sitting on a yuk swing?" take me to Nana, who hasn't been out of the room in days. Nana said, because her hand had already been dragged by father.

" Sir.." his mouth called out to father, but his gaze was fixed on the pond beside the swing, highlighting the flurry of colorful fish passing by in the water.

" Hmm." Dad brought his body closer to Nana who was slightly behind him.

" Grandfather has not disputed the proposal." Still don't want to look at Dad.

" Adek wants to accept the proposal, Dek Zen, "he continued with a soft tone. Between shame and still heavy hearted.

" Cie.cie.." said the father loudly near Nana's ear.

The shocked expression that Nana showed was actually the laughingstock of my father.

" Sir, usually just talking about cie-cie trus...." Pinched Dad's nose violently because he was upset.

Father replied by tickling Nana's waist. While the mother who listened to the conversation Nana and the father from behind the curtain glass door that separates the garden and room Nana, laughed but also cried happily. Feeling the burden on both shoulders as if it were gone.

" But Adek does not want to get married now. I have to wait for Adek to graduate from college !"

Mom had expected this. Because I understand very well, this girl will definitely not want to take Zen's proposal for granted.

" why? Mother said, the Zen nang family does not mind if after marriage you still attend college."

" Hehh ?! Ls i? "

Nana doesn't believe my father's words at all. In his mind this must be the intellect of the parents, so that he agrees to marry as soon as possible.

" Yes Nduk. Your paklek said himself, if he would make sure you can finish college even though you are married." finally mom joined with dad and Nana in the park.

Nana's eyes began to inundate, "Bapak.., Adek wants to go to college and continue to seek work experience. Let's not just take the husband's income. The result of the pond is not necessarily, there are times when it also fails the harvest."

" Yes wis. Don't cry." The father rubbed the water that almost fell on his son's cheek. " So you want." Dad said like a gust of wind that dried up Nana's tears instantly. " But the promise later not to fall in love with guys on campus you know.." continued Dad, make Nana smile fluffy.

Nana who was anxious with the words of the father, immediately rushed to hug and kiss the cheeks and forehead of the father. Not satisfied with that, Nana broke down the father's half-whitened hairdo.

" Yes.iya... ! Let's go later Adek kecantol nail only wis."

Elsewhere, when the sun has shifted from overhead. Zen whose hands unwind by laying down his body on the bed in a small hut in one of his ponds. It is located on the side of the main road in and out of the village.

" Zen.." the voice of someone Zen knew, called out from outside the hut.

" Yes, yes..." Zen rushed out, meeting the source of the sound.

" Would you like to come home in the afternoon?" Firman helped his son get off the motorcycle.

" This is the embankment of the pond that Mas. I told you to, but it's still seeping. Tilapia fish is already big, emanate if you move to the pond people. Hehehe, "Zen pointed at the embankment in question.

Today Zen does have a lot of work in the pond. Although he has been helped by his workers, but still there is work that he must finish with his own hands.

" Where is Raka from?" Zen greeted the boy who was with the Word.

" From the house of Embah nengokin bulek Nana, " while smiling. " Paklek Zen, Paklek Zen is the same as Nana's girlfriend?" The question from the boy who was not even three years old made Zen blush like a virgin who was getting a statement of love.

" Raka said who?"

Word immediately walked away while holding back his laughter. Seeing the embarrassed veins on Zen's face, made him bear the shame. Especially if until Raka tells the truth about who told her, it will only add to the embarrassment in her.

" Dad was my mother who said." That kid is not good at hiding facts.

***

After pretending to see the fish in the pond, Firman approached Zen. Giving his phone to Raka, then telling her to play games in the hut. I want to leave it with Zen. There is something to talk about with Zen.

" Zen. I was from my father's house, "get serious.

" Yes Mas. How is Nana? it's healed, isn't it?"

Zen had previously known about Nana's illness from the Word. However, there is no clear explanation about his relationship with Nana. Makes him hesitate to visit even if he really wants to. And also felt very worried about Nana.

" Us. I also sent a message to you."

The message? For me? Zen's heart was pounding irregularly.

Although he does not know what the message will be delivered by the Word, but he knows for sure if this message is about his relationship with Nana.

" Nana has agreed to accept your application. "having not until the Word finishes the sentence, a thin smile has been emanated on Zen's face.

" But he asked that his marriage be postponed, until he graduated from college. You how? "

" If Nana wants to be like that, I don't mind Mas." Zen assured him that it really did not make trouble for him.

At the very least, Zen can now feel relieved. Because there is certainty if Nana has received a proposal from him.
