Erfan Voice

The clock is five o'clock in the afternoon, I'm ready to pick up Dara for dinner at home. Actually I was lazy to meet him let alone have far away to come to his house, but what is my day if it has become papa's order.

At exactly six in the afternoon I arrived at his house, I rang the bell on the wall next to the iron fence in front of the house, just a few minutes waiting to be seen by Bu Selfi, who was waiting to be seen, my future-in-law came out of the house with a smile as bright as her best lips.

"Please enter Nak" said Bu selfi after opening the gate.

"Thank you Aunt" I said after kissing the hand of my future father-in-law.

I stepped into the house, following the steps of Aunt Selfi who walked in front of me.

“Tante I have not prayed Maghrib, can I pray here?“ ask after entering the living room.

“Oh please Nak,ayo Aunt interracial,“ replied Aunt Selfi please.

I stepped back to my feet to enter the house to the bathroom, again following the steps of aunt Selfi who was directing me.

"The bathroom is here, if you want to pray, the prayer is there." Said Aunt Selfi pointing to the place of the musholah which is beside the kitchen of her house.

"Thank you Auntie" I said before entering the bathroom.

Fifteen minutes passed. After finishing my prayer, I immediately stepped my feet towards the living room, seen Dara already sitting on the sofa, seen focused on playing her phone.

“Ayo“ take me short.

After saying goodbye to aunt Selfi, Dara and I immediately went out of the house, moving our feet towards the car that had been parked in front of the fence wall of his house.

Dara was sitting on the front bench right next to me, we were just silent, there was no sound except the sound from the car radio.

The car suddenly stopped when I stepped on the brakes of my car firmly.

“Astaghfirullah“ Dara screaming in shock.

“Auu...,“ pekikku touch the forehead of the car steering wheel.

“What's up?” Dara asked confused after my sudden brake action.

“Basic cat s*alan,“ muttered me without answering Dara

“You're not papa?” dara asked when she saw me grimacing in pain.

“Wait,“ he continued staring, I immediately brushed off his hand when it was about to touch me.

“Hei wait a minute,“ he said with great emphasis regardless of the clap of my hand.

“Your forehead bruises Mas.“

I went back to running the car regardless.

Author's voice

When he saw Erfan's car coming, the security guard at Pak Subrata's residence immediately ran to open the gate in front of the house. Erfan's car drove slowly closer to a very large two-story house with a blend of white and gold.

"Down" said Erfan flat after parking his car.

Dara immediately came down following Erfan, he looked around the house and was amazed by the atmosphere of his prospective in-laws' mansion, especially when his bead was fixed on a mini garden in the middle of the yard. There he could see a fish pond equipped with a fountain, and surrounded by various kinds of flowers including roses his favorite.

"Why? never seen a big house, have you?" erfan said cynically before stepping into the house.

"Cih, arrogant very you Bang, Bang somay," said Dara stepped in.

Erfan's steps stopped when he saw his papa coming out of the house.

"Assalamualaikum prospective ghost,” said Mr. Subrata happy.

“Waalaikum hail Om,“ replied Dara with a smile approaching Mr. Subrata before kissing the hand of his future father-in-law.

“Come in,“ invite Mr. Subrata to Dara, as if forgetting that there is Erfan who is standing next to him. Erfan exhaled his coarse breath before stepping his foot inside the house following a step

They ate three at the dining table, Erfan ate his food quickly.

“I go in first Pa,“ Erfan said after finishing his meal.

“Kok in? there's Dara.“

“You take an ice cube first Pa to compress this,“ Erfan replied showing his bruised forehead.

“Lho why is your forehead?” Ask Mr. Subrata while standing over to Erfan. He saw deep bruises on his son's forehead.

“So suddenly there was a cat passing by Pa, I was shocked and braked suddenly, knock my head off.” Answer Erfan explained. “No papa kok Pa is just a little bruised,“ continued Erfan before entering the house.

Dara just sat quietly watching the warm interaction of the child and his papa.

“Where does Dara taste good food?” asked Mr. Subrata after turning his eyes to look at Dara.

“Enak om, Dara likes,“ replied Dara smilingly looking at Mr. Subrata who had sat back in his chair.

“Alhamdulillah if you like, better now you enter after Erfan." continued Mr. Subrata again.
