BAD BOY Pura - Pura Amnesia
Chapters 16. Rejection Galang

Galang decided to stay in the mosque after his prayers were finished. Seeing the pile of the Qur'an, suddenly Galang's heart was moved to take one and open the scriptures that he had not read for a long time.

The cover of the green Qur'an is seen with dewy eyes. Not did he forget how to read the Qur'an, but because he felt sinful because he was very far from the scriptures and his Lord.

"Astaghfirullah," muttered Galang then took a deep breath and started ta'awudz and then read basmallah.

Just reading the first verse of Al-Baqarah, Galang's heart immediately changed. The science during the pesantren that he had forgotten for more than five years suddenly reassembled in his brain. He also shed tears until the drops of clear liquid fell in the mushaf of the Qur'an.

Galang continued to read the Qur'an with passion and a soft voice until he finished reading it after one sheet.

"Sodaqollahul Adzim." Galang smiled then kissed the cover of the Qur'an and put it back in its place. Then Galang decided to leave the mosque.

Only Galang will wear his shoes, a call came in on Galang's cell phone makes him want to not have to see who is calling.

There's a name of a person he doesn't want to see on the phone screen and chooses to ignore. But moments later, a new number came in via a phone call again. Galang is still cute and lazy because it could be the number of people home, even Galih or Mami Laras.

Again Galang could only take a long breath. He put his shoes back on and tied the rope firmly and then moved. Unfortunately there was a message before Galang put his phone in his pants pocket.

"Gue Serly, go home! We need to talk. Do you know my Papa? Hope you remember my Papa, Galang."

Sherly is Galang's college friend. He put his heart on the young man long ago and he also asked his Papa to talk to Galang's parents if Serly just wanted to marry Galang. The match was of course directly approved by Baskoro.

What else made Baskoro accept the plan? Besides Sherly is a beautiful woman is also smart even now she is a model who is on the rise, Baskoro also already knows who the Pangestu family will certainly provide many benefits for his business.

"Damn it!" albat Galang almost threw the phone he was holding, but snuffed and beristighfar. "Astaghfiullah! Maybe I should go home first and talk well. There's no way Mr. Aji would be doing anything unexpected if I spoke for what I was. Serly is also a model, it could be a reason later," Galang inner then ordered a motorcycle taxi to return to the Papa's house.

...***...

The Pangestu family has come, Baskoro and Laras are confused because Galang is not home. But they still warmly welcome the arrival of the person who should be the besan.

They all had a pleasant conversation before talking about the core. Serly certainly does not like to see parents talk about things that are not important to him. But he was still friendly and polite in front of Galang's parents.

"Is Galang not there, Om?" tanya Sherly finally chose to cut and divert the conversation. Baskoro and Laras looked at each other and changed the look on his face and smiled stiffly, they were confused what to say because Galang had left and they did not know where the boy was going.

"I'm sorry we didn't get to see Galang and the number is hard to call." Laras says an excuse, don't let Pangestu know Galang's refusal to Sherly.

"Yes, do you know how young people are today? A good boy, he is a young man who cares a lot about his friends," said Laras with a shy smile.

Baskoro could not dwell and finally comply with the proposal. Gelagat and Baskoro facial features can be read by Serly. But Serly chose to remain silent until Baskoro put down his phone because Galang did not receive his call.

"Sorry, Om! I lost Galang's number, let me try that phone," suggested Serly later and Baskoro gave his son's number. "I'm sorry to try to call Galang outside" said Serly leaving the living room.

Serly had made three calls, but none were received, but the calls were connected. Serly, who knew what was on Baskoro's mind, chose to send Galang a message and return home.

"Where, honey? Hitchhike?" ask Mama Citra. Baskoro and Laras also wanted to hear the answer from Serly.

"Maybe Galang is busy, Ma. Serly has sent a message and Galang must have come" Serly replied with confidence. Baskoro and Laras smiled with relief and resumed the pleasantries while waiting for Galang's arrival expectantly.

Sure enough, it did not take long for Galang to come because he was not far from the housing complex of the Papa. Galang's arrival was immediately warmly welcomed by everyone, especially Serly.

Some years did not meet his first love, making the girl sparkle like seeing an expensive diamond when Galang came.

"Serly is really great, Pa," whispered Laras. Baskoro just nodded.

"Where are you from, son? How do you bring a big backpack?" ask Citra so curious.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mr and Mrs Pangestu," said Galang so kindly as he leaned his body towards the Pangestu family, except Serly, Galang did not glance at him at all.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. You haven't changed, Galang. It's the same as last time we met. Pesantren graduates are different, haha. Good, Galang .. good!" said Aji welcomed Galang's greeting while patting Galang's shoulder.

"Alhamdulillah, Sir. But ... Honestly I am here just to say an apology to Mr. and Mrs Pangestu, especially to Serly," said Galang made everyone confused, especially Baskoro. Both Baskoro's eyeballs were immediately rounded because they understood what Galang was going to say.

"Groof!" exclaimed Baskoro asked Galang not to say anything through the eyes. But unfortunately, Galang even singled out a smile.

"I'm sorry? Why do you have to apologize, Galang?" ask Aji.

"Yes, Mr. Aji. I'm sorry that I can't accept this match. I had lost my way for five years after my mother's departure. It's not without reason that I can't marry Serly. Other than her model who would definitely not want to wear a hijab, I've found a woman who took me to be the Galang that I used to be before my Mama died."

Like being struck by lightning of course, Serly was disappointed not to play. The threat does not apply at all. Of course, not only Serly, Papa and Mama were also surprised by Galang's speech.
