Chapter 16 Resisting Emotions

Upon his return to the house, he saw his house people gathered in the guest room also with Andri and Tria. The girl was between Diana and Irtiza. With emotions as much as she could resist, she saw Tria.

“Why do you come to my house ? Who told you my home address ?” Tanya Arsen stood up without looking at Tria.

With the rest of the tears that barada cheeked as well as teary eyes “I just want to see you Ar, all this time I have been to the branch office several times. But no one wants to tell you where, until that day I went there and they told me that you were at the branch office.”

“My home address, do you know where ? Huh!” Tanya Arsen was fiery.

“eh, eeee, ak I know of them too.” Reply Tria stammered.

“Please leave this house before I forcefully lock you up. Never once thought of coming back here let alone see me again.” Walk your feet towards the room.

“Why ?” Tria asked, and got up from her seat to make Arsen stop his steps.

“You ask why ? Because our relationship was long over before I even decided to move out of the branch office.” Arsen turned his back on Tria.

“Ar, I just want to know. What is the reason you made me killusin. What's my fault ?” Tria asked and now her cheeks were wet again.

“I have never felt at all like you even with women before you, only he was the only one in my heart from the past until now even later. Remember well it.” Reversing the body and placing emphasis on Tria.

“Huh!” Tria snorted small. “I came all the way here, groveling and humbling in front of you, especially your family. But the same answer I got Ar, is it that I have no price for you ? Until you act like this to me. Yes, I love you,” His words stopped and his shoulders began to tremble. “Even great love, but that doesn't mean you want to go to me. If you like and love others from a long time ago, then why am I the one you should drag in your life, while your heart is not for me ?” Tria took the sentence out of her mouth. “I'm sorry, good afternoon.” Pamit Tria with tears.

The words that escaped from Tria's mouth made everyone in the room speechless, especially Arsen was so surprised. Andri is out to chase Tria.

“Tria wait.” Call Andri.

Tria further accelerated her steps to get to where her car was parked.

“Ria wait for Ria, waituuu.” Andri half shouted, but in vain. Tria has already driven her car.

Andri could only close his eyes, seeing the girl leave with a broken heart and a deep disappointment. He also chose to return to Arsen's house to take a car, but did not intend to enter.

Resisting emotions is also anger that has begun to peak Saad asked Arsen “ Explain to us ?” Only three words came out.

“Paa, papa calm down first. Don't get carried away by the emotions pa.” Diana tried to calm him down.

“Mau taro where papa ma's face, he wants to preach the son of papa's best friend, and now he's even making trouble like this. Want taro where papa ma's face. You!” looking at Arsen's face. “I won't propose to Qanita for a man like you.” He then left his children and his wife.

Seeing Saad's departure made Diana follow her husband, while Arsen was only able to rub his face rough. Now he looks very messy and confused.

Qanita returned home without saying hello and ran up the stairs to her room.

“Anit, you why nak ?” Maya asks who is confused by her son's behavior.

“Assalamualaikum.” Someone's voice from the direction of the living room and make Maya's attention distracted.

“Waalaikumussalam.” He answered, then saw who came. “Dad, tumben home late ?” Ask Maya to her husband.

“Yes, there were some that had to be taken care of first.” While walking towards the middle room and putting down his bag. “Your daughter has gone home first right?” Ask Abdillah.

“Already, but he was cleaning the front plants of the house, was kok suddenly entered so cry. That's now his room.” Bright Maya, while walking towards the kitchen took a drink for her husband.

“Bersihin plant home front ? Pantesan was still a mess. I thought you were whistling.” Abdillah said taking a drinking glass given by Maya.

“Ngak iih yah. Yes, I've just continued whistling.” Maya. “Mother ahead first yah.” Pamit Maya's.

Abdillah simply nodded slowly then continued her rest for a while before choosing to clean up.

From his room, he locked the door and cried sobbing. He cursed himself why so b**oh and put his heart just like that to the man. Many times he has the privilege of calming down, but tears are unceasingly flowing.

He began to lift himself from the position that was lying on the bed. His puffy eyes looked at the orange veils at the end of the sky. He stepped his feet towards the room. Seated by a chair beside the balcony door. His gaze returned, his heart again feeling pain and disappointment. Again he was crying in silence, hugged his knees and now his face is between the knees. The memories returned to bring him to the event he had just experienced.

“Sick! Yes Allah is sick.” That is all that is in his heart and mind. “Thanks to your head Anit, don't let your crown fall.” He encourages himself.

Long time he saw the sun that would sink with a blank look, and now the adhan's sayup-sayup began to sound. Soon he closed the door and stepped into the bathroom to clean himself up, before heading to the mosque.

Arriving at the mosque, he saw the mother was sitting on her alphabet. Qanitapun held a prayer beside the mother. After performing Magrib prayer, tasbih and Al-Qur’an achieved as a tranquilizer. Maya just stared at her confused daughter who was in such a state of turmoil and the state of her eyes.

Qanita continued to ponder despite the unrelenting tears flowing. Then the Qur’an was opened and read half a whisper. He realized that his voice was rattling because of the crying. Magrib had passed and Isha's voice was now heard in Qanita's ear. His heart again felt pain as if crushed when he knew the owner of the voice that was echoing the Adhan.

“Rapidly finish your meal, then accompany me to Abdillah's house. It seems his family did not know about the incident this afternoon. You owe us an explanation.” Say Saad with a ketus.

“Iya pa.” That was all Arsen could say and went back to the trouble of finishing his meal.

“Mama follow ya pa.” Diana Pinta.

“Solus mom only.” Said Saad then drank water from his glass, and went from the dining area to the living room to wait for Arsen.

After waiting for some time, Arsen and Diana were approaching Saad. Arsen looked so nervous and a restless facial expression.

“Huh!” Dengus. “Not met you are already nervous like this.” Walk ahead of Diana and Arsen.

Qanita's family doesn't know what's really going on. They thought Qanita was crying because she was about to receive a proposal from Arsen. They enjoyed dinner in silence for a while.

“Nak, Arsen family come what time?” Ask Abdillah suddenly.

“Uhuk uhuk.” Qanita choked and immediately drank some water. “Lack of knowing well.” Qanita answered while looking down, now her face began to blur because the clear liquid was being held back to not come out of her eyes. “Hopefully he never came yah.” Inner Qanita.

“Hmm, yeah. It's been. At most they will be here soon.” Maya Timpal.

Fateeh and Nazeen were just smiling at the thought that this cold brother of his would soon be proposed to someone. Moreover, that person was the one he had hated all this time.

“Allah is turning back the heart of man.” Inner Fateeh while smiling and continuing to eat.

Abdillah just nodded slowly “Hmm, yes come.”

“Anite to the room first well, bu.” Pamit Anit is climbing the stairs.

“Loh loh, you don't find Arsen family dear ?” Ask Maya.

“If he and his family will really come, and if Anit is called to meet him. Then Anit will go down bu.” Qanita said non-stop walking.

“Ifaa ?” Abdillah asked, but got no answer from Qanita.

The husband and wife were confused by his daughter's words, but did not think too much about it. They chose to sit in the family room waiting for their guests while watching TV.

Shortly waiting for the sound of a bell from the front of the house. Soon the door of the house opened. It turns out that Maya sees Arsen and her parents behind the fence.

“Assalamualaikum.” The Arsenic family saw the owner of the house open the door.

“Waalaikumussalam.” Maya answered politely while approaching Diana and her two men. “Come in.” Bring Maya.

The three guests only gave a small smile, while Arsen increasingly looked nervous.

“Assalamualaikum.” Said Saad when he arrived at the guest room of Abdillah's house.

“Waalaikumussalam.” Reply Abdillah. “Sit on Ad, you are.” Bring Abdillah.

“Hmm, without you telling me to stay seated. My waist can't stand for long.” Saad.

“He understands, old waist like this.” Abdillah said with a small smile.

“These four elders were joking, even though I was already nervous, cold sweat, mules again this.” Inner Arsenic.

“Ar, do not strain so dong nak.” Maya said a little teasing after returning to take a dish for her guests.

“How not to strain.” Said Saad, glancing cynically at Arsen. Diana tried to hold back her tear dam.

“Before anyone wants Arsen to tell you both, Qanita already know this first.” Starting talks. “Ayo Ar, explain to us.” Saad.

Saad's words increasingly make Abdillah and Maya confused, especially with the words of Qanita a moment ago.

Arsen was getting nervous and sweating coldly. It was stroked on her back by Diana to give her peace. “Eeee, om, aunty earlier I apologize for what I have done. Because my actions make Qanita cry and certainly disappointed with me.”

Abdillah and Maya are increasingly confused by what happened.

“Before I graduated college, I had been in a relationship with a girl for several years om, aunt. The girl seemed to love me so much, but I couldn't return her feelings. I never did anything to the girl om, auntie. Really am! Until before I decided to return home I ended my relationship with the girl unilaterally, and he did not accept my decision om, aunt.” Clearly Arsen with a looked down.

“So that afternoon the girl looked for my home address, and to Qanita's house, her husband asked Qanita for a home address. Qanita also heard our debate, and the remark that we have not broken up yet nor will the girl be willing to break up with me om aunt. But really om aunty, heart and mind I have been there name om daughter and aunt for years, I myself forget since when I love her.” Obviously Arsen was at length, and now he can't see Abdillah or Maya.

Indeed, Arsen's explanation makes Abdillah surprised, while Maya manangis thought about how broken Qanita's heart knew that in fact the beloved man had a lover and did not even want to be decided. Though the heart of the man is for him.

Tears that had been blocked by Diana were now dripping without pause. Patted on the wife's back by Saad to calm her down.

“Thank you for being honest, I think you know the exit of this house.” Abdillah said suddenly while trying to hold back emotions and make everyone surprised.

“But om sa_.”

Arsen's speech came to a halt when he saw his hand lifted, as if forbidding him to speak again.

“I'm really sorry Abdi, we were surprised by what happened. We say goodbye first.” Said Saad standing up from the seat. “Deliver our apologies to your daughter Qanita. Assalamualaikum.” Pamit Saad, pull Arsen's hand out of the house.

“Waalaikumussalam.” Maya answered and stood up from her seat, in contrast to Abdillah who was still unmoved from the seat.

Trrrt trrrt

The sound of HP's vibration distracts Qanita from the brief chatter of her family and the Arsen family. Thought the name listed on the screen HPnya “Kak Syi”.

“Assalamualaikum sis.” His greeting was trying to hide his raucous voice.

Waalaikumussalam. How is Arsen's speech ? Qanita was immediately asked at her core by her brother.

Syiffa already knew Arsen's good intentions a few days ago, certainly from Maya the mother.

“Ehmm, emmm, Anit does not know for sure brother he was proposing or not, but obviously Anit has rejected it first.”

Haaaa. How is that deck ?

Then Qanita told her what happened to her and Arsen, and also about the girl named Tria. Hearing the story of the younger brother made Syiffa surprised.

Astagfirullahaladzim. Oh, God, Robbi. I can't talk about the deck. You are patient well, but it's good you also hear the reason for the deck. Syiffa Advice.

“Anit was already horrified, though vaguely. Yes, brother, Anit hang up first. Assalamualaikum.”

Waalaikumusslaam station.

The end of the phone call with Syiffa, immediately made Qanita drop clear liquid back from her eyes. During the story with Syiffa, Qanita tried her hardest not to cry, but now her tears were unstoppable again. For a long time he cried, and now his eyes narrowed even look marsupial.

Tired of crying he began to fall asleep with tears still on his cheeks.

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of soft knocking from outside Qanita's room, but was not picked up by the owner of the room.

“Have slept son ?” Abdillah asked from behind the door of Qanita's room. Holding the handle of the door of the princess' room then turned, it was not locked.

Slowly Abdillah came in and saw Qanita under a blanket covering part of her body, with the window curtains still open. Abdillah walked towards the window and closed the curtains.

His gaze was now completely fixed on Qanita. He stood next to his daughter, cupping inches per inch of her face. He realized his daughter had been a lot of menagis today, his eyes were puffy and marsupial. The top of Qanita's head that is not covered with a headscarf with affection.

Abdillah seemed to feel the disappointment now felt by his daughter. “I'm sorry dad son, may God send you the best.” He muttered and kissed the top of Qanita's head. After that move and turn off Qanita's room lights.
