What's Wrong Pa

Remembering the figure of Lia

On a clear day, Nadhira was watering the flowers in the front yard of his house happily when he saw the flowers began to bloom so beautifully, together with Bi Ira who was sweeping the courtyard of the house, Nadhira was so happy when the flowers that he always cared for now began to bloom and fragrant as fragrant as ever.

Lia loved the beautiful flowers especially to bloom and herself planted so many flowers in her home, that is what reminded Nadhira about her long-lost mother, Her mother loved the beautiful flowers she had today, but she left so quickly.

With Nadhira slowly giving water to the flower, Nadhira take care and take good care of it so that the flower body with fresh and flowering so dense.

"Mama must be happy when she saw the flowers that she planted began to bloom like this, hopefully Mama happy there, Nadhira has tried as much as possible not to cry, Nadhira has tried not to cry, Mama says that if Nadhira cries later then she will cry when she sees Nadhira crying". Guman Nadhira when he saw the flowers blooming.

Bi Ira who heard Nadhira's voice slowly turned to her, Bi Ira saw Nadhira smiling at the flower, but the smile contained a deep sadness, Bi Ira immediately drew closer to where Nadhira was standing at the moment.

"Lia's so lucky to have a child like you, son, despite all the trials you've been through, you never complain about it". Bi Ira said to Nadhira with pride.

Nadhira smiled at the words of his adoptive mother, indeed he had never complained before them all but he always complained in his prostration, although Nadhira whispered to the earth, his voice could be heard by the sky.

Nadhira always smiled in front of everyone, but when he was alone, his tears that wanted to flow rapidly would never be prevented by him.

"Mom, are my expectations too high to want Mama back?". Ask Nadhira.

"It's not wrong for you to wish that way, son, since Lia's own body is still not found until now, it's only natural that you hope that Lia is still alive in this world".

"Mom, when Mom was with you, what did you talk to Mom about so much? Yeah, like a word you'll never forget".

"Once, Lia used to tell me about her family, she wanted to meet a man who was able to accept all her shortcomings and wanted to live happily with her little daughter, even though she is in a capable family, Lia never complains as much as you are right now, son".

Bi Ira tells the story of Lia when they were teenagers, Lia is a girl who never gives up to be able to get what she wanted all this time, he was a hardworking figure and not everyone in the class was able to do what Lia had done.

Although Lia was born into a well-to-do family, Lia never used the family's money to spend, what Lia does is help orphans use the money without the knowledge of their families.

"Mom misses Lia's figure, but little Lia is now in front of Mom". Said Bi Ira while rubbing Nadhira's head slowly.

Nadhira smiled at Bi Ira at this time, "If Mama is still alive maybe Mama will feel proud when having a friend like Mommy, even though you've been separated for quite a while, Mom never forgot herself".

"You could be kid".

"Surely Mom, Mama must be very happy to have a friend like Mom".

"It's exactly the opposite, son, because I'm so happy to have a friend like Lia".

"Mom, what made you two laugh together back then?". Ask Nadhira again.

"Early because I just wanted to meet Lia, until I forgot that it was Sunday, and I went to school alone, Lia kept laughing at her, even until we were going to split up, Lia still remembers that".

Nadhira and Bi Ira laughed together, Bi Ira laughed a lot louder when she remembered the incident with her friend who had died, and she longed for the day the two were still together.

"Then Ma'am?".

"After that, we were punished together at school".

"Why can you be punished?".

"Because Lia forgot not to bring a tie during the flag ceremony at that time, seeing that I immediately hid my das and stood together with Lia under the flagpole".

"Why did you do that?". Nadhira answered and occasionally laughed along with his adoptive mother.

"Because I wanted to accompany Lia, you know that boy back then, Lia was liking someone.....".

Bi Ira told Nadhira about her Mama when she was in Junior High School with Bi Ira, because when Lia entered high school, she was in high school, Bi Ira was unable to continue because of the constraints of school fees and also he was an orphan in an orphanage.

Bi Ira told Nadhira that her mother used to love the figure of a young man who had the most handsome face of his friends at school, the young man has a body posture that is quite gallant because he is an athlete who is most popular at the school.

Lia had put her feelings towards the young man, but Lia was unable to express her heart, finally he told Bi Ira because Bi Ira was the only place where he could tell stories because he could only trust Bi Ira.

Bi Ira was a good listener when Lia told him the opposite, and until finally the young man knew how Lia and the young man were trying to get close to Lia.

"Then after that, did Mama accept the young man Ma'am?". Nadhira asked who thought that the young man was Rendi, his own father.

"Yes son, he accepted the young man".

Nadhira smiled when he heard the reply from Bi Ira who looked full of enthusiasm to tell the story of the two of them to Nadhira, as well as Nadhira who was so eager to listen to the story.

"Is that young man Papa, Mom?". Ask Nadhira again to Bi Ira.

"Not Nak, he was a different young man, that young man was so kind, and was also able to accept Lia with all her flaws, after graduating from Junior High, Lia and the young man went to school in the same place, and were able to accept Lia with all her flaws, I heard that the two were so close, but it was strange how the two were able to separate at that time". Bi Ira.

"If it is not his destiny, then it is fate that will seek its own way to be realized, even though they look so close, but if they are not a match, then fate will separate the two".

Nadhira kept silent, he was so afraid if he had to part with Rifki, indeed for now the relationship between the two is so close like his mother and the young man he found in Junior High, indeed, since it was not his destiny then the two split up as well eventually.

Nadhira looks so sad for now, is it possible that he will never meet with Rifki again after this, because Rifki will go abroad in a short time, maybe Rifki found a replacement there.

"Why do you look sad, son?". Ask Bi Ira.

"I'm just afraid Mom, I'm afraid of losing Rifki, she'll be out of the country for a long time, I'm afraid she'll never see him again". Nadhira.

"If it's true that Rifki is your soul mate, even though she goes to the end of the world even though she will come back and you two will be together, together, vice versa if you are not destined to be together even though you are so close you will be separated, essentially leave everything to the creator".

"Maybe I look so selfish ma'am, if I wanted Rifki for myself, but I couldn't afford to part with him".

"The fool is like the shadow of a child, if you chase after him, he will run much faster to avoid you but if you ask the creator of the universe then he will pursue you".

"Mother is right, I shouldn't have to worry about it, because God has arranged it, I will ask God that Rifki is destined for me".

Bi Ira smiled at Nadhira, Bi Ira continued the story of how the young man struggled to get the attention of Lia, the young man continued to make new things to be able to steal the attention of Lia.

The young man was a martial artist and also a running athlete so that his body looked so healthy and dashing, Lia admired the young man so much, he even looked wrong when dealing with the young man.

Hearing the story made Nadhira laugh, while Bi Ira was able to reminisce about the time when she and Lia often played together and even lived their lives together.

Bi Ira will never be able to forget the time when he and Lia who were always together in times of joy and sorrow both will always be together and there will be no one who can separate them both because of both they are true friends and complement each other.

"What did Mama do then, Mom?".

"Lia was made to be embarrassed before him, Lia was unable to say any more words when the young man expressed his heart to Lia".

"Did Mama take it?".

"Yes, she accepts it without any rejection, Lia tells the young man that she does not want to date so the young man continues to wait for Lia until the age Lia allows to get married, Lia said, even so the young man was the upperclassman of the two of us".

Nadhira smiled when he heard about the love story experienced by his mother, Mama, he did not expect that the story of his mother would be like that and until finally his mother married a person whom he did not recognize at all before.

Actually when Lia graduated from High School, she was betrothed to the chosen young man from both parents, Lia had refused to be married to the young man she did not recognize at all, because Lia and the young man had been in such a close relationship.

Because Lia did not want to refuse the wishes of her parents finally by being forced to accept the matchup because of the words of the young man she loved, but on the condition that Lia wants to continue her education first.

The young man who had been betrothed to Lia was Rendi the son of her parents' best friend, her parents, both of Lia's parents think that Rendi is a youth figure who deserves to be with Lia because both parents think Rendi is a good young man.

But who would have thought that before Lia died, Rendi brought Lia to go somewhere that Lia had never seen at all, Rendi was a man who was dissatisfied with one woman, and it was Rendi who had hurt Lia's heart with it.

"But why didn't the young man marry my mother?". Nadhira asked who was still curious.

"Mother also did not know, when it arrived Mother heard that Lia was going to marry someone, I thought that person was the young man but in fact the person was a different person".

"The young man must have felt the pain of being left behind by someone he loved to marry another man". Nadhira Guman.

"But he also cannot blame Nak's fate, however, he will not be able to defy the destiny that should be his second way of life".

Hearing Bi Ira's explanation, Nadhira thinks that he looks so selfish to be able to have Rifki, as if he will not believe in a destiny that has been determined by him and the best for him.

Nadhira has now realized that God has prepared the best for him, if someday he is not destined for Rifki then Nadhira will be sincere with it, for the best of him will never belong to anyone but himself.

Although it was very hard for Nadhira, but it was the best for him, God would never test a people but they were able and able to pass through.

"Mom, could it be that the young man still harbors feelings for Mama?".

"If she is married then there are no more feelings left for Lia, but if she is not married there is still hope in her heart to have Lia, but I also don't know about the news all this time, maybe she doesn't know that Lia's gone".

"Although Rifki was not destined for me, I wanted to carve his name into my prayer, that God might unite us in His heaven".

"Nadhira is a good son, Allah will surely meet Nadhira with a good man, because a good man is only for a good woman, as well as the other".

Nadhira smiled when he heard the words from Bi Ira, now Nadhira understood that the person so close to us has not been our destiny, and it is precisely the person who is so far away from us that could be the person our destiny is, we will never know what fate will say later what we need to know is that is the best for us someday.

Nadhira and Bi Ira smiled at the same time, both of them staring at the blooming flower, there was no happiness other than seeing the flower blooming so that Nadhira felt today.
