We Are Different

Parent's Heart

"How's Lila Mas doing?" ask Renol.

"There's a blockage in his head and he has to have surgery right away" Regi replied.

"Oh Allah" welcome Aluna.

"When is the operation scheduled?" ask Dwi.

"Not yet know, still waiting for the decision of the results of the doctor's examination" replied Regi.

"Later I'll tell Dimas Mas, who knows if there is a friend or he has a doctor's acquaintance here" Renol said.

"Yes Zero, I'm asking for help" Regi said.

Regi looked at Maysaroh.

"I'm sorry my son May, it has troubled your children and family" Regi said, raising both hands to his chest.

"That's not to think about. Kamal is an adult. We as parents can only remind and pray for them. Those who make decisions about their way of life. If their path is wrong we rebuke and remind but if he remains on the wrong path send all Mas to God. May Allah forgive and lead him to the right path" said Ms. Maysaroh.

"Yes May" said Regi.

"May I come in see Mama Pa?" ask Aluna.

"Please son, please love Mama spirit and pray for your Mama yes" pinta Regi.

"Yes Pa, yuk Mas" Aluna invites Malik in.

Aluna and Malik cleaned their hands and changed into special clothes to enter the ICU room. They also put on a new mask after it entered the room.

Aluna saw an electronic device for Lila's body condition checker active at the bedside. Aluna immediately approached Lila and touched and clasped Lila's hand.

"Assalamu'alaikum Ma, this is Aluna Ma" Aluna said.

Then she slowly pulled out her former in-laws hand and kissed him.

"Strong mama huh, Papa, Luna and the others will be waiting for Mama to come to her senses. After that we can have a long conversation or a walk. It's been a while, too, that we don't walk. Mama misses no? Mama Aluna is waiting outside. Mama Cepetan realized so that she could go to the shopping market with Mama Aluna" said Aluna.

Tit... Tit... Tit..

The monitor screen. Malik recited a prayer to his mother Kamal. It's a pity what Kamal did that made his parents like this.

May Kamal's heart be touched when he sees his mother's condition like this. And really back to his character as a man. You can leave the dark life like before.

Malik finished praying and touched Aluna's shoulder.

"Let's go out, baby" asked Malik.

Aluna nodded her head.

"Ma I go home first yes, Mama must be strong and recover quickly. Assalamu'alaikum Ma" said Aluna.

"It was night sir, we said retreat first" said Malik.

"Yes Nak Malik. I only ask you to forgive Kamal but I will not ask for peace. Let Kamal serve his sentence. It is easy - hopefully that way he can really repent. Especially after hearing his name hurt like this, hopefully it can be a heavy blow in his life" Regi said.

Malik nodded his face a sign that he understood what his father Kamal wanted.

After saying goodbye to Malik, Aluna and her family return home. Renol and Dwi also return to their own homes.

On Monday, Malik was called by the police to testify about the arrest of Kamal and Regi. He leaves with Said who accompanies him. There they meet Regi and Renol.

"Look at what you're doing right now. Papa doesn't know what else Papa has to do to you to really change. Papa has asked you to separate from this man but you are doing too far. Your mother is currently being treated in the ICU. Satisfied you!" bentak Regi wrathful.

Kamal could only remain silent and bowed to see what he was feeling right now and what he was thinking. Only he himself knows.

"This time Papa won't help you. Let me punish you for what you did. You are grown up, you are grown up. You have to take responsibility for yourself. So far, Papa has been foster and provide the best education for you. Papa has given you religious knowledge as well but you deny and leave everything Papa teaches. It's still Kamal's world punishment, not the hereafter. You have to take responsibility for all your actions. Papa is resigned if you have to lose and have no more children. Maybe this is the fate of Papa and Mama. Let alone get a prayer from a righteous child, even like this becomes. Papa is very disappointed in you" said Regi still with a high voice.

"Tomorrow your mother will have blood-clogging surgery on her head. I hope he is strong and can survive. If you still love your mother, pray that your mother will live long. Think about your future before it's too late. The door of repentance is always open before life is separated from the body. Papa hopes that God will give you a chance to repent" continued Regi weakly for his last words.

Without being able to prevent her tears from falling down her cheeks. This time Regi was really disappointed in his son and had resigned to whatever happened to Kamal.

He could only focus on his wife's health. Hopefully his wife can survive his stroke this time. Whatever he's gonna do for Lila's recovery.

Malik answered some questions from the police about the incident a few days ago. Malik explains everything how he met Kamal and Gerry. Eventually, he ended up in a hotel room.

Shortly thereafter Mutia and Bian appear as witnesses. Those who saw Malik brought Kamal and Gerry to the hotel. They also helped save Malik.

The hotel's security department was also called in to provide information about what happened at the hotel.

Regi could not linger long because he had to keep a close eye on his wife's situation in the ICU.

"I said goodbye because I had to keep my wife in the hospital. Mr. Police please resolve this matter fairly and in accordance with the law. Although I am the biological parent of one of the suspects, I am sincere in whatever the decision is. I will not ask for any lightening. Let my son be punished, maybe in that way he really can change. Just one request of mine, if he really should be detained, please separate his cell with the man. They have to part ways anyway" pinta Regi.

"Okay sir, the request of the Father is indeed we are in the process of remembering this problem occurred because of the case of same-sex love" said Mr. Police firmly.

"Thank you. Malik, Renol and others I say first" Regi said.

Last time Regi left, he approached his son. Still with a disappointed and sad look.

"Every parent as sad and as disappointed as his son's misfortune for sure we will still forgive his child. As long as you really want to change. Remember you are not living for yourself. Like Papa and Mama who can't let you be here. It's not that we don't love and love you. But this time you must be right in the law for your actions. Easy - hopefully you can accept and strong live it. It is easy - hopefully Allah's guidance will come to you, touching your innermost heart until you really want to change. As long as you want to change the house door is wide open for you to return" Regi said.

Regi wiped his tears and walked away from the Police Station.
