THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE

Surprise 2

Via blinked his eyes. He took a look around the whole yard. Then, he looked closely at the house in front of him.

"Mas, this is.... This is papa's house. Aye, right?" hisses Via.

Farhan nodded with a smile. He let Via observe every part of the yard.

"Why are we here? Who's the owner now?" ask Via with teary eyes.

"We're going inside, yuk! Your questions will be answered later" Farhan asked.

Farhan guided Via into the house. Just entering the living room, Via's steps came to a halt. He looked at every corner of the room. It was rare in the living room. This room is usually used to receive important guests papa.

However, Via is very memorized. In this room he talked about the status of the house and his decision to stay with Ms. Aisyah, his homeroom teacher.

Farhan let Via remember his memories. He was silent, not bothering in the least.

"Mas, why do we go straight in without waiting for the host to welcome? What if the host gets angry?"

Via suddenly worried. He realized that they had not met the host. When entering, Via is carried away by memories of the past, he is part of the owner of the house. So, he doesn't need to ask permission.

"Relax, the host won't be angry. You will know later. Come on, let's go to the family room!" bring Farhan.

"Mas Farhan seems to have entered this house. Right so?" asked Via who felt strange with Farhan's attitude. As far as Via is concerned, Ms. Aisyah only knows the living room. Ms. Aisyah has never gone inside.

"Here you go, later Dek Via will know," said Farhan softly.

"How enigmatic is this?" ask Via again. He was still hesitant to obey Farhan's invitation.

"To know the answer to the riddle, let's go inside! The answer to Deck Via's question is right there."

Farhan grabbed Via's shoulder. He led the girl into a large room.

"Assalamualaikum" said Farhan.

"Waalaikumsalam," there were many voices answering.

Via was stunned to see the people sitting in the room. Some of them were very close to him, others he did not know. They looked at the couple with smiles.

"Dad, Mother, Mas Azka, Eyang, why are you here?" Via mentions one by one the people he knows. "Pak Arman and Pak Andi also exist. I-this is what, Mas?" exclaim Via.

"Patience. That's what sits there Mr. Adi Wijaya and Mr. Candra Wijaya," said Farhan introduced two people who have not been mentioned.

"Pa-pa?" whisky Via. His eyes glared and his mouth was slightly gaping like disbelief.

Farhan frowned hearing the words spoken from Via's mouth even though it was soft. But he immediately tried to calm down.

The two people Farhan called stood up then smiled and nodded.

"Yuk, we shake hands with them" Farhan asked.

Via according to. They greeted the people present one by one. He only cupped his hands in front of others.

However, when he arrived in front of Pak Adi Wijaya, the man after Eyang Probo suddenly grabbed the body of Via. The girl was not ready to fall into the arms of Mr. Adi.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, son," said the old man. His tears flowed profusely soaked his cheeks which began to appear to be wrinkles.

"Sorry, Mr. Adi. Please don't act like this. We're not mahram!" said Via with a firm voice.

In his heart, Via was furious because he was treated arbitrarily by the parents he had met first.

"Sir, Mr. Adi carried away feelings. It's okay to hug you. I'm sincere, really," whispered Farhan softly.

Via who had escaped from Pak Adi's embrace glared at Farhan. He could not figure out why Farhan said such a word. As a husband, he should not be willing to be hugged by another man who is not a mahram.

"Sit down first" Farhan commanded in a soft voice. He guided Via to a chair near Bu Aisyah. Then he sat down next to his wife.

"Via, forgive us for confusing you. Pak Adi Wijaya Pak Candra Wijaya's. From the name you can guess."

"Via already knew when she met Mr. Candra in Jakarta, Bun."

Miss Aisyah flinched for a moment. He forgot that Via had met Candra Wijaya.

"Ah, yes. Sorry, Mother forgot. They are your family, Vi. How are they related to you, later Mr. Adi will explain."

Via looked at Bu Aisyah. Something stuck in Via's mind with the presence of those people together, even gathering before he came.

The shady-faced woman seemed to be able to read what was on Via's mind. He also gently stroked Via's back to give her calmness. After feeling that Via was calm, Bu Aisyah looked at Pak Adi while nodding. Grandfather responded to the code sent by Ms. Aisyah.

"Son, this might surprise you. You can be angry with us especially Grandpa. You can blame Grandpa because I was wrong. However, Grandpa asks to forgive Grandpa."

Adi was silent for a moment. He shrank the tears that began to pool in his eye pelupuk.

"Grandfather is the father of your late father. And Candra is his biological sister," said Mr. Adi with a trembling voice.

Via gaped. He looked at Mr. Adi and Mr. Candra alternately.

He had met Mr. Candra. However, at that time Mr. Candra wore a mask so that Via could not see his face.

Mr. Candra's face is very similar to Mr. Wirawan's. That's why Via looks like he saw his late father as soon as he saw Mr. Candra.

"It's a long story, son. Your father left home and wandered all the way here more than 20 years ago. Since then we have never met your father" said Mr. Candra.

"And papa you left because of Grandpa. Grandpa's selfishness that makes Beni desperate to leave the house," continued Mr. Adi.

Via is still riveted. The unexpected explanation from the Wijaya family left him in shock.

"Your father's real name is Beni Wijaya. He changed to Wirawan to remove the trace" said Mr. Andi.

Ms. Aisyah clasped Via's right hand. Farhan clasped his wife's left hand. Via's face looked tense.

"Via can forgive and accept them, right?" ask Bu Aisyah softly.

Via is silent. Surprise still enveloped Via's heart until he was unable to react.

"Dec, thank you grandfather and om, yes," Farhan asked in a soft voice. The palm of Via.

Via awaken. He quickly rushed to Pak Adi and rested in front of the old man. Via's head was placed on his grandfather's lap.

"Grandfather, why did Grandpa just come? Why was Via left a kara without the Via family?" lament Via on his side.

"Yes, Grandpa is sorry. It's all Grandpa's fault. Awake, Son!" Adi pulled Via's body until the girl stood up. "Sit down next to Grandpa!"

Mr. Candra moved seats. Via also occupied the chair that was occupied by Mr. Candra so he sat between his grandfather and his om.

"You'll forgive us, won't you?" ask Mr. Adi. He looked at Via expectantly.

Via nodded. His hand wiped the tears that were still left on his cheek.

"Thank you, son. Grandpa was so happy. This is Grandpa's greatest wish, to be with a family that loves each other."

"Thank you, Mr. Haris, Ms. Aisyah. Because my niece's Father and Mother had not lost her place to lean when she lost both her parents. We should have replaced the deceased. But at that time we didn't know. We're late" continued Mr. Candra.

Mr. Haris smiled. He looked at Ms. Aisyah. It seems that Ms. Aisyah felt stared at by her husband, she turned her head and stared back. Nodding the head of Bu Aisyah gestured for Mr. Haris to speak.

"Sir Candra and Pak Adi need not feel guilty and thank us like that. All qadarullah. Since Via has no family, he comes with us. And now, he's our son-in-law. We're a family, sir."

Everyone present agreed. Happiness came out of their faces.

"Because it's hard, let's pray first. It seems that the mosque or musala has declared iqamah. How about we congregate at the family musala?" said Mr. Andi.

Via bengong's. At one time, the house he lived in for many years was no family musala like the residence of the doctor Haris.

"Now there is, really. The house has been renovated so there is a musala on the back. Come on, let's go there!" take Farhan to Via. It seems like the man knows what Via is thinking.
