What's Wrong Pa

A Bowl of Advice

Nadhira and the others immediately continued eating them, inside the house it feels so warm and comfortable for Nadhira even though it is raining out there with a speckle so that it adds to the comfort of everyone in their respective homes.

After they finished eating and drinking, they resumed their chat before going to bed, after finishing eating it is forbidden to sleep first because it will affect the health of the human body if it does so.

Nadhira looked at the wall clock not far from where he was sitting at this time, the wall clock was still showing at 9 p.m, if it's at home then it still looks so crowded while in this village at 9 pm no one is awake in his sleep.

"This is a photo of Ratih Bu?" Nadhira asked when he accidentally saw a photo attached to the wall where he was sitting.

"Yes he is Ratih, it was when he was 4 years old, if now he is still alive maybe he has grown up, maybe now he is 9 years old".

"Beautiful Ma'am her son, the quiet Bu Ning yes, I will help Bu Ning find your daughter and will bring her back here".

"I'm very grateful to you that you already have such intentions, but I hope that you and your friend will express those intentions".

It seems that Nadhira's determination looks so solid and no one can to knock down the throat, he said, whatever was said by Ningsih was indeed very frightening but it did not make Nadhira give up just like that and cancel his intention to be able to find out about the events experienced by his mother.

"Rest, tomorrow morning you will continue the journey, right? Shouldn't you just cancel the plan to come to the grave?" Tanya Ningsih who keeps trying to change the resolve of Nadhira.

"I have to see it, Miss Ning, you take it easy I will definitely be fine anyway, the mystery is completely unreasonable to explain with logic, how could one disappear by arriving like that".

"Indeed, it cannot be explained by the human mind Maak, because it is related to supernatural beings".

"I'm used to it, ma'am, you take it easy, although I can't go back later, I don't feel any loss because I've tried my best to unravel the mystery of this village".

"If that is your decision, I can only pray that you and your friend will be protected by the Almighty God".

"That's more than enough for me Mom, your prayer is very much needed later, because with a series of prayers, God willing we will be able to pass through all the obstacles that lie ahead, he said, for only God can help us when we are in trouble"

"May you and your friend always be in His protection and come out of the tomb in good health without any shortcomings, don't forget to keep praying so that you're protected by the creator of the universe".

"Aamiin, pray for Ma'am, may this village also soon be free from the influence of the tomb".

"Aamiineni".

Nadhira and Ningsih immediately entered the room, Nadhira slept next to Ningsih because the room in the house was already full by the Ningsih family so he invited Nadhira to sleep next to him.

While on one side, Mr. Mun and Theo were sitting together in a chair in the hall, both of them seemed so bored when they had to stay in the same place all night and both were very worried about Nadhira who is now with Ningsih.

"Is Mr Mun hungry?" Asked Theo who felt his stomach sound asking to be filled.

Theo was embarrassed to admit that his stomach was now hungry because it had just been filled this afternoon and now asked to be filled again, but immediately the question made Mr. Mun laugh.

"Hehe... You're hungry again apparently, not even half a day hungry".

"Let's know sir, maybe the cold weather like this makes me hungry quickly".

"Yes there is instant noodles, just boil it for food, tomorrow will pay it if the person is here"

"Is Mr Mun hungry too?".

"Slightly, but not too hungry either".

"Then Mr. Mun who cook, we will eat together".

"You're ruling or what? It's supposed to be the young one who's following orders, so you're the cook, because you're younger than me".

"Sir, Mr. Mun knows that if I can't cook, I can only play with weapons and not kitchen utensils like that".

"Yes let me cook, you stay here".

"Set Sir" Theo said with a triumphant smile.

Mr. Mun immediately got up from his seat and began to put water into a pot that had been neatly arranged in that place, he also did not forget to light the fire of the gas stove, Theo watched every move made by Pak Mun carefully and he wanted to learn how to use a gas stove.

Theo had never cooked before let alone just go into the kitchen, Theo never even touched the kitchen utensils so he did not know every function of the kitchen utensils in his parking lot or at home.

Not long after the instant noodles were ready to be served, Mr. Mun immediately thrust a bowl of noodle soup to Theo, Theo received it with his spirit because he felt very hungry at this time.

The air tonight feels so cold that it evokes his appetite, not usually he will feel like he felt in the village, so Theo feels that this time is different than before.

"Pak Mun is great to cook" Praised Theo.

"This is all about instant noodles, anyone can't but you".

"Pak Mun knows that I can't cook, even if I only cook instant noodles"

"Learn, you will also have a family, what if your wife is sick and your stomach feels hungry, but there is nothing to sell around your house, then you should be able to cook".

"Yes yes sir, later I will learn the cooking, besides I am not short of money".

"Do you know how long your money can be saved? Not always what we have will remain completely ours, I used to be like you living with a lot of treasure but since my father went bankrupt everything changed, life is like a wheel that always spins, he said, and it will not be forever that person will still be on top with all the luxuries, sometimes they will be dropped so that they know that the treasure will not be with us forever, he said, if you only pursue the luxuries of the world you will forget the beauty of heaven".

"Yes Mr. Mun I understand, thank you for the advice you have given me"

"Let me ask you, and answer honestly, if you are given two job options with one very large salary but you are tormented and cannot enjoy time with family or the right salary for your life needs but you are so really enjoy the job and be happy with your family, which one do you choose?".

"You know for yourself, not everyone who owes us will pay for it, they will certainly say so many reasons for not being able to pay it but on the one hand they spend their money to buy things that are not important and forget the debt, but on the other hand they spend money to buy things that are not important and forget the debt, you know it's harder to collect debt than it is to make money".

"Yes sir I understand, I will be more careful in the future, it seems like being a good person is very easy to use, maybe we need a little evil and pretend not to care".

"Being a good person is not wrong, just let others judge anything about you, you don't have to be sad because they give bad value about you, because their judgment is not important to your afterlife, what matters is your identity and how close you are to Your Lord who created you".

"I am too bad before God and also before all those who have known me all this time, I am not a good person and far from being good, I am a drunkard and a sinful sinner"

"No matter what anyone says about you, believe me it's not important to you at all, get up and prove to them that you're better than them, not only in the world but also in the end, if others say bad things about yourself tell yourself that you are capable of proving that you are better than them, they can only see one side of you, but they can't be as good as you on the other side"

"Only Mr. Mun can say that I am a good person even though Mr. Mun does not know fully about me, even Nadhira himself has never said such a thing, I feel overwhelmed by what Mr. Mun has to say".

"You are Theo's good man even though you were wrong to choose your way, but God's love is so great, even when you are sick even if your sins are taken up by Him, you are not a good man, but Allah is forgiving, asking Him with all your heart, the hand that rests before God will not return empty".

"My sins are too much sir, is it possible that God will forgive me?"

Theo recalled the mistakes he had made so far, too many mistakes he had made ranging from drunkenness, oppressing the weakest, and even troublemaking on the streets.

Theo felt so ashamed to admit that his bad times, would he be able to change them for the better, but his heart and mind were unable to cooperate, his heart tells him to do good, but his mind tells him to do whatever makes him happy.

Theo was only able to remain silent and occasionally nodded at the words of Mr. Mun before, he said, Mr. Mun said that he used to live well because his family belongs to a family that is capable and almost close to the rich but because of the defeat of a tender that made the family fall poor and he had to he works as a private driver at Nadhira's house.

When he was a teenager, he never studied properly and always squandered his father's money, so that when he was in college, he, he never went to college and even worse lied to his parents.

He did not go to college but used his tuition money to have fun with his friends, after his family fell into poverty he finally realized that the property did not always belong to his family and also himself.

Since then his father has often been sick and it makes Mr. Mun have to find a job to support his Father and Mother, and it makes him have to find a job, however, no company wants to accept itself because the report card value is always bad not only the test score but also the attitude value.

"God is forgiving, though your sin is as much as the water on the earth and as much as the air around the earth, Allah will surely forgive him when you really want to repent and ask forgiveness from Him".

"Yes Sir"

"Yes already hunted eat, before the noodles are cold to bad taste, if it is still warm this is the best to enjoy if it is raining like this".

"It looks like I have to learn a lot from Mr. Mun, I look like nothing in front of Mr. Mun who is great in religion".

"Actually we are the same, it's just that I learn first than you, our age is also not much different just one year apart".

"What's? Mr Mun thinks I'm as old as Father? Haloo... elder Mr. Kali" said Theo who slightly did not accept if said old.

"Aren't you much older than me, I'm 15 years old, my mother said but".

Uhuk... Uhuk... Uhuk...

Theo choked on the instant noodle soup because of the words of Mr. Mun who said that he himself was 15 years old who was even younger than him who is currently 19 years old just like Nadhira.

"Nih drink first, then also said once you've choked aja you" said Mr. Mun while thrusting a glass of water to Theo.

Theo immediately received the glass and immediately drank it to disappear the choking pain, choking water alone was painful let alone instant noodle soup that feels spicy and hot.

"Pak Mun ngaco deh, where there is an age of humans do not increase every year, even if the age is still the same as before he may have been buried in the ground".

"His... Yes, in any case, let me be more happy".

"Yes yes, Mr. Mun is still like 15 years old, continue to eat deh sir, pity his noodles if didiamine like this continues later he even sulked".

"Didiemin is cold, let alone bitter".

"That's what did Mr Mun mean? I'm still innocent sir, so I don't understand what about digituin you mean, I don't even know what sir".

"You're a little kid still stinks, it's not time to know about it".

"I've told you that this father is far away much older than me, maybe my age is three times the age of Mr. Mun deh, he said, sir Mun is more experienced than I am".

"There's a lot of difference, you're the one who miscalculated the times".

"Idih.. why should I also calculate the age of Mr. Mun anyway, my mathematical value is a bad cook yes have to learn mathematics here with this situation, it is not funny sir".

Theo and Mr. Mun then continue eating them in silence, Theo prefers to be quiet so that he does not choke anymore because it feels so painful for him let alone choked by the gravy as he had just experienced it.

After they finished eating, they sat down for a while to wait for the noodles to run towards their stomach so as not to create a pain in the heart later.

"Please! Help me!"

When the two were relaxing, there was a sound of someone asking for help from outside the building they occupied, hearing that both of them immediately got up from their seats and were about to step out of the building.

"Something's screaming for help, sir, we'd better help sir, pity".

"You're right, how horrified is his voice, what could have happened to that guy?"

"Yes sir, let's help!".
