We Are Different

Festive Restu Mama Part. 2

Ms. Maysaroh and Aluna prepare their breakfast dish. Malik rested in Said's room while waiting for breakfast to be prepared.

Aluna and her mother were busy in the kitchen. Lula helped them tidy up the dining table.

"Mas Malik ate a gallant meal, Kak Lun" said Lula.

"Hus you're still a child" Cut Ms. Maysaroh.

"I'm already SMU Ma. I can't see which guy is handsome or not" said Lula.

Lula sat down at the dining table.

"How can Mas Malik's story be guided?" Ask Lula.

"Sister hasn't asked in detail, he just said after Sister got married she got a dream. But you don't know the story of the dream" replied Aluna.

"Malik's father when did Lun die?" Ask Ms. Maysaroh.

"A few months ago Ma" replied Aluna.

Ms. Maysaroh took a deep breath while cooking.

"This is the journey of life. Back when you were dating, Malik's heart had not been tapped and had not received guidance. There may be a desire at that time but only because you want to be in religion with you. But he ended up losing because of the parents' blessing. But as soon as his direction approached him he didn't care what his family's response was. I'm very sure Father and Mother must be very opposed to his decision. No parent who sincerely converts their children from the religion they have introduced to their children since the child was born" said Bu Maysaroh.

"Yes Ma'am, Malik said his father was very angry at the time. Even Malik was slapped and kicked out of the house. But Malik did not give up, he continued and continued to visit his family. Finally his Father was sick and Malik took his Father to the Capital" continued Aluna.

"It should be like that indeed, filial to parents even though it is not as valid. And which parents can be angry at their children. Maybe when they were angry all the harsh words were spoken but actually their hearts hurt. No matter how angry the parents must be they still love their children. Fortunately Malik's actions were right, he kept approaching his family instead of being hostile to him. And sooner or later the hearts of his parents will surely melt and accept it" continued Bu Maysaroh.

Aluna hugged her mother from behind.

"Thank you Ma for loving me and my sisters. I'm sorry that we haven't been able to please Mama more. Sorry we have made Mama disappointed and sad especially me" Aluna said in a sad tone.

Ms. Maysaroh turned off the stove fire and turned around to hug Aluna.

"Mama is happy and proud to have you all. Mama is so grateful that God gave good children just like you. Mama's only treasure is yours, Mama's happiness comes from you. If you're happy, Mama will be much happier. Mama knew your love was only for Malik a long time ago. Although it used to be hard to part with him but you want to follow Mama's request to break up with him. Mama loves you son, Mama can not be like Malik's parents who let you convert. What should you say to your Papa when you meet him in the afterlife. Mama failed as a parent to care for and educate her children" said Bu Maysaroh.

The tears of Ms. Maysaroh fell slowly.

"Now there is no barrier for you to unite. Your sincere mother and your goodwill blessing. Get married and be happy, son, it's time you were happy. Forget the sadness of your past, leave it all behind and welcome your future with joy. Mama will support all your wishes this time" asserted Ms. Maysaroh.

"Thank you Ma" replied Aluna.

"Later when you become a son-in-law in the Malik family consider them as your parents even though their religion is different. You still have to be devoted to his mother because she is your in-law" Ms. Maysaroh said.

"Yes Ma will I remember that" replied Aluna.

"Now call Malik, we have breakfast. Lula call your brother Said" Ms. Maysaroh's orders.

"Yes Ma" Sahut Aluna and Lula together.

Ms. Maysaroh stared at Aluna's departure from the kitchen. Now he could breathe a sigh of relief, soon to deliver his daughter to the gate of happiness.

This time Ms. Maysaroh felt very confident that Aluna would be happy. From the look on his face alone, Bu Maysaroh can see the happiness of Aluna.

Malik also looked more mature and charismatic. Perhaps with age and work experience. If the rank of Malik is much higher than Aluna.

Before long the children of Ms. Maysaroh had returned to the dining room and they were sitting at the table. The dish is finished, Ms. Maysaroh.

"In a moment we will become Lik's family, I hope you don't have to hesitate anymore. Let's eat" Invite Ms. Maysaroh in a friendly manner.

Malik had a delicious breakfast. They ate together this morning in a cheerful mood.

"By" answered Malik.

"Rest first Brother, you're not sleeping all night. It will hurt two - both of them. Willing to marry, must take care of health" Said's message.

"Yes Lun, let Malik rest and sleep for a few hours" Maysaroh said.

"Yes Ma, the pilgrimage will be in the afternoon" replied Aluna.

After finishing breakfast, Malik returned to rest in Said's room and Aluna also returned to her room. Until eleven o'clock in the afternoon they wake up, take a shower and sit casually in front of the terrace of Aluna's house.

"Said tomorrow you're going to college?" Ask Malik.

"Well, why?" Ask Said.

"What if we go home tomorrow?" Ask Malik.

"Byeah, tomorrow I'm just one course. I can get permission" Welcome Said.

Malik glanced at Aluna.

"Tomorrow we permit aja yuk, we add one more night here so that it can be more relaxed. Later in the afternoon we will make a pilgrimage. Tonight I want to go around the city with your family" Malik said.

"Maybe, I can get permission from Mr. Baskoro" replied Aluna.

"Yes already then all is well" Welcomed Malik with a faint smile.

Malik saw Lula just got home from school.

"Well, it's Sunday?" Ask Malik.

"There are Mas's activities in school" Lula replied.

"Ooo" Welcome Malik.

"What class is it?" Ask Malik.

"Third grade SMU Mas" Lula replied.

"It means this year donk college" said Malik.

"Yes, soon I will follow Kak Said and Kak Luna to the Capital" said Lula spirit

"Pity you live alone here. What if we were to move to the capital. If your house does not fit Mom and sister - your sister will be able to stay in your house. Let's move to my house. The distance from our house is also not too far" Invite Malik.

"Lija Lik in mind, it's still a long time Lula finished school" Reply Aluna.

"But I agree with Mas Malik's proposal. If Lula goes to college pity, I'm living alone here. I also have no more activities here just take care of Lula. We better gather all in the capital. My lecture is also this year InshaAllah will be finished. I'll find work, in addition to Papa's retirement salary I can help - help Mom later after I work" Said said.

Aluna was silent for a moment.

"Later to talk to Mom. This will let Mother decide" replied Aluna.
