The Struggle of a Husband

Request

After the project was completed Amri also received praise, because the results did not disappoint. In fact, he also received bonuses of hundreds of millions to billions of rupiah from his work. Now Amri built a house for his parents and he had time to perform Umrah worship with his family.

After Amri and his family returned from Umrah worship, Selyn's father came to Amri's house to express his gratitude for the construction of the regent's office.

Tok.tok.

"Assalamualaikum..... ?"

There was a loud voice of a middle-aged man greeting from outside the door of the house.

"Greetings hallaikum." Amri answered, opening the door.

Amri was surprised not a bitch, it turns out that who was present before him at this time was the father of his lover. A regent visiting a child laborer in his home is a miracle in his heart. In Amri's mind he wondered.

"What's this?" amri's Germant in the Heart. Then invite the guests who come to his house.

"Come on, come on in." Sapa Amri shook hands and let her sit down.

"Yes thank you, son." Sellyn's father answered briefly and shook Amri's hand. Then put his foot inside and sat in the living room facing Amri.

"Sorry, if I can ask what needs are there until you come to my house?" Ask Amri politely.

"I've come to thank you so much for the project builders you worked on for the building in the district." Answer Sellyn's father.

Amri added shock not kepalang, when he heard that the project he was working on belonged to the government without his knowledge.

Amri was silent a thousand languages hearing the explanation from Slyn's father. The atmosphere became quiet and he understood the feeling felt by Amri. Then he asked what Amri wanted as a gift from him. He was willing to give property and office if Amri so desired.

"Son, what do you want from me is a gift. Property or department?" Asked Slyn's father while looking at Amri's eyes sharply.

"I don't want anything, whether it's a treasure or a post from my father. But if I may ask, allow me to marry Slyn the father's daughter." Amri replied with a soft and polite word.

Sellyn's father is shocked at Amri's request. He did not expect the desire of Amri not because of property or position, but the desire of Amri that made him remember his words first. He just kept quiet and said.

"If you really love my son Slyn, then come home next month. Bring your parents and come propose to my daughter Slyn." Slyn's father said with his eyes looking sad.

Amri was happy not to play when getting the blessing to propose Slyn the idol of his heart. Then he sent a short message to Sellyn, to discuss the continuation of his relationship.

Selyn's father got up from his seat and returned Amri's hand. He walked over to Amri's seat and said.

"I'm sorry, son. It's true what you said back then. Not everything needs to be paid with money. I am selfish, just look at customs and just listen to what people say. Unknowingly, I had drifted away from the teachings that I should have understood. I've never paid attention to religious observance all this time." Selyn's father hugged and cried on Amri's shoulders, then apologized for his mistake first.

Now Amri can prove, that he can succeed and uphold the dignity of the family. Without leaving prayer and always grateful for what was given to him.

The human guideline of life is only one that is closer to the creator and is all-loving, all-loving.

Amri returned the hug from his father so gently and said.

"So, you don't have to apologize to me. I have never held a grudge or heartache before. And I've forgiven you a long time." Amri said softly and let go of the embrace of Selyn's father and continued his words.

"It is also true what my father said. But I also thank my father. Because at that time my father did not reject me, where I might become what I am today."

"The words of the father of that time made me rise up and fight. I was also not angry at the rejection of my father. I am very grateful to my father."

"Because of the permission of God who has given me trust. Now I can be what I am today. I always pray to Him, may I always be given health and salvation until the end of time, if God wills. I promise I will not leave my son in sorrow or disappointment. I will not change in the slightest, whether it is my nature, or my love for my father. If one day I will be a more successful person. I will keep him forever, until death do us part.

"Here you have given my blessing to ask for your daughter. I'm the only one who should listen to you, for entrusting me to take care of your father's daughter." Amri replied with a sad look, with lips that quivered after having vented all of his heart to his future father-in-law. 🤭

Selyn's father wiped away the tears on his cheek and looked Amri in the eye. She was so lucky, if Selyn had a husband who was very devout in religion and always took care of her. Then he said goodbye to continue his work.

"Son, come home anytime if you have time. You want to learn more about the religion." Says Sellyn's father. Amri smiled and replied.

"Sorry sir, I don't want to visit my father's house or teach my father about religious law. But, it would be nice if you learn religious sharia to the scholars like an ustad or kiya'i. I'm nobody sir, I'm just an ordinary person who knows very little about the teachings and the sharia." Amri replied with a smile.

"Don't go down so low, son. You know you're good at religion." Sellyn's father looked at her.

"I have only practiced the teachings that have been commanded in religion and practiced until now." With a smile, Amri answered.

Selyn's father is increasingly proud of Amri, although now he has been successful but has not forgotten all the teachings of Islam and that's the point for Amri to take the heart of Sellyn's father.

Now Sellyn's father got up from his seat and shook hands with Amri and moved on and walked away.

"Well son, you'll go first. Don't forget next month's coming." Southed Slyn's father as he reached his feet and passed away to go to the exit. Then he rode in a car parked in front of the terrace of Amri's house. And driving it drove towards the road leaving Amri who was still standing still staring at his disappearance.
