Because Amen is the Same
15. Marcelea and Ray's parents

The time that Ray's parents are waiting for, especially her mom has arrived, happy is what Mami Ray feels as well as Ray. Today he always asked Viona but Viona always refused and finally materialized.

As for Viona, even deg degan with today. Confused how to answer if Ray's parents ask him about their relationship. Once in a while Viona sighed while biting the tip of the nail while pacing around in the room.

The rifle accidentally passed.

Tok

Viona jumped in shock "Astaghfirullah" he said as he rubbed his chest.

"That's a surprise, why?" Ask Rifal.

"Why me?" Ask Viona back.

"Like that confusion, what's up?" Rifal asked his sister again.

"There's nothing" Kill Viona then he slammed his ass on the bed.

"Have it, would you like to come? Me and Lea want to visit the family home" Take Rifal.

Viona was just dumbfounded without responding to her brother's words.

Rifal shook Viona's shoulders by holding both of her shoulders.

"Your grandfather is missing?" Ask again.

"Heee, good tasting. I thought again" Viona said lazily.

"Thinking what?, being asked answers nothing, but thinking. Hhmm" Rifal said again.

Viona mustered up the courage to tell her brother the truth but her heart was still a little doubtful and scared. Doubtful if he had told a lot to his brother Ray was just playing games, let alone they have different beliefs. And fear arose if her brother opposed it all, though his little heart said so and the rejection made of her brother frightened him. However, on the other hand he is comfortable and likes the attention of Ray to him so that makes him afraid of loss.

"It's dumb again" said Rifal to see his brother who never spoke.

"Sister, is it wrong that we have the same amen but different qibla?" Viona asked while looking down to make Rifal think and digest word by word from his sister's words.

At that time, Marcelea came because she heard vaguely the voice of her husband in her sister's room.

"Assalamualaikum, can you come in?" Marcela asked on the side of the open door.

Greetings Marcelea broke the silence between Viona and Rifal.

"Geez, brother in" said Viona and approached her sister-in-law.

"Wa'alaikumussalam" Timpal Rifal. "What time does our deck leave?" Connect Rifal.

"Just tell me a story, wait for the phone. If you have been called directly otw" answered Marcela happy. Yes, I miss the family very much, Mami Ray very dear to him but since deciding to convert then there Ray's parents changed to him.

They are strongly opposed to moving beliefs in the family. Their parents or Grandpa Ray and Marcelea were priests, so their children were required to be active in various religious organizations. So for them very embarrassed or even a disgrace if there is one in the family suddenly there is out of their religion.

Marcelea recalled the incident that hurt her heart when Mami Ray who she thought was like her own parents said that she would not care about her anymore.

Marcelea sighed, "please pray that they don't get angry and accept me as they used to be"

Rifal heard that he immediately embraced his wife, "Patience deck, God test you because he knows you are capable" he said gently and immediately Viona realized because the sentence was very appropriate for him.

"So, we're patient" said Viona. "And so am I" he continued in his heart.

"Why do I feel pain" muttered Viona.

Rifal and Marcelea look at Viona, "why deck?" Asked simultaneously.

"Compact sad yes" Goda Viona switched the conversation.

"Don't switch the conversation, brother knows" Rifal said again.

"Ihh kepo really. I'm just talking original" replied Viona. "There's that message, brother" he said, pointing at his sister-in-law's phone screen.

"It's already in the restaurant, brother, we're walking now" said Marcelea after reading the message and continued to Viona, "sure not to come?"

"This time no sister, want to be in the room today" replied Viona.

That's not really Viona's reason, he just thought about what the first sentence he said met Ray's parents. What clothes are suitable to wear.

The confusion gave Viona a headache, she broke down after her brother and sister-in-law left. The roll in the snake-like room that Viona did made her bed fall apart. He stretched his hands out in the middle of the bed while looking at the ceiling of his room.

"Oh Allah what should I do" he said alone in the room.

🌺

At the restaurant where Rifal and Marcelea and Ray's parents were eating together. Marcelea was so happy, the gratitude she was unceasingly saying in her heart.

"Marcel, don't eat this your favorite. Mami intentionally said that" Mami Ray said with a warm smile to her husband's body.

"Yes Marcel, Mami already this message is special for you" Timpal Papi Ray also.

Marcelea did not feel good to refuse if that said from a person she considered to be her own parents, but the problem is that she has now become a Muslim.

"Mi, pi. it was Marcel's favorite but that was Marcel's Muslim now so can't" said Marcelea softly.

"That's it, so what do you want to eat? Just order Mami who paid" Mami Ray bargained again.

"This is enough for Mi, but there is the happiest for Marcel" he replied with a smile that did not fade on his face.

"What's that?, Mami was curious"

"Marcel, since becoming a Muslim Papi see a lot of smiles" said Papi Ray again saw the poundanakan changed after converting to Islam. What used to be cute, now cheap and friendly smile is clearly drawn on his face.

"Islam teaches me like this Pi" answered Marcelea deliberately called the word islam, so that the sentence is not foreign to the ears of om and tantenya.

In addition, the sentence that Marcelea said is not wrong, because Islam does teach its people not to put on a sour face when meeting someone, because Islam does not, plus Marcelea met a special person who is her second parent after her biological parents.

"And today I am happy" said Marcelea again, "because God allowed Marcel to meet Mami and Papi in this place. It was even happier to see Mami and Papi healthy, that Marcel was grateful to God" he continued and Rifal saw his wife so happy and happy he chimed in with a smile.

"Yes, Lea continues to name om and aunt every activity" Timpal Rifal makes parents in front of them today touched.

"Here Mami thought Marcel would not want to see Mami and Papi again after converting to Islam, so after hearing decided to convert to Islam" Mami Ray paused his sentence while taking a breath and throwing it rough, "very angry at the time" he continued.

"Outside Papi. At that time, Papi felt that he had failed to educate you. Destroyed and ashamed to mix into one" said Papi Ray, "at that time the family was embarrassed actually wanted to appear in front of people, let alone know how your grandfather" continued Mami Ray.

Marcelea just looked down sad to hear what was said by om and tantenya, but her parents were happy after converting to Islam.

"Like?" Ask Mami Ray.

"Merry Christmas" answered Marcelea again.

"Yes, no maslaah" replied Papi Ray.

Instantly, the atmosphere that was originally fun to share the story became silent after removing the dustbin during this time stored in the hearts of the non-Muslim Marcelea family.

Rifal saw the current situation was not good anymore to continue, he tried to divert the discussion.

"So tomorrow back to Korea, when are we going to Indonesia?" Ask Rifal.

"There are no plans, maybe Alex married Mami to Indonesia again if not Alex who went to Korea" he replied making Rifal only understand.

"Mi, did Alex already have a boyfriend again?, Not Gladis right?" Marcelea asked as if she could not accept that her cousin had married her.

"No, there's something new. More polite than Gladis" he said, "This afternoon Mami wants to meet you with him, before going to Korea" he added.

"Kok Alex didn't tell me" Inner Marcelea.

"Mi, name. What's name?" Ask Marcelea enthusiastically.

"Yes.." Mami Ray tries to remember Viona's name but she forgets, "who else is Pi?" Ask her husband back.

"Mami who vidoe call instead asked Papi" he replied because it was in fact like that.

"Ohh, it's been a video call as well" said Marcelea as she closed her mouth in shock, "gercep also tuh son" he continued.

"I remember her name, Viana, yes Viana" Mami Ray repeated confidently.

"Where's Mi, there's a picture of her?" Marcelea asked curiously.

"Marcel, Mami knows that if you are curious, you must dig the information to the root. There is no picture of Mami, try to ask Alex" explained Mami Ray again.

Marcelea nodded yes.

They were currently sitting while Marcelea was enjoying her dessert. Since they ate Marcelea did not stop eating until now, talking to Ray's parents on the sidelines of the talk he had put food in his mouth, but it did not make him fat. Strange, because usually strong eating identical to fat but so-so body Marcelea. Have an ideal body. But because currently pregnant so look chubby.

"Here are Mami and Papi taking a walk before returning to Korea?" Ask Marcelea again.

"Unlike it, it will be tired because there immediately enter the office" replied the Papi this time.

Rifals are just a lot silent as well as Papi Ray, they let their two favorite women engrossed in the story until they forget that they brought a husband.

Mami Ray waved to the waiters to calculate the price then they.

"How much?" Ask Mami Ray.

"No need to Mi" Marcelea banned.

"Yes, as a thank you to me and Lea, so I'm the one who paid" Timpal Rifal said.

"Yes, but this time it is" Mami Ray relented to Marcelea's quick embrace.

"This is the bill sir" he said and immediately Rifal took out his card and the waiters directly directed Rifal towards the cashier.

"Well, sir" he said, and Rifal stood up, "Thank you, ma'am".

"I went there first". Pamit Rifal then left.

Moment three, Mami and Papi Ray apologized to Marcelea.

"Marcel forgive Mami and Papi yes. At that time we were afraid because we could no longer meet you forever" Mami Ray said, bringing out what he had been waiting for all this time.

"There's no way that Mi, Mami and Papi are Marcel's second parents, so it's very unlikely" Marcela replied as she clasped the hand she already thought her mother was.

"Honestly Papi did not accept, the shock was what Papi felt. But since looking at today, it turns out you are not the way we thought you were. Forgive Papi too" he said.

As soon as Marcelea let out a clear grain from her eyes, "I'm sorry Marcel is also because it makes Mami and Papi angry" he said as he looked at the face in front of him alternately, "Mommy and Papi are getting younger in Marcel's eyes" he took it seriously but it invited laughter for both of them.

"Hahaha" the laughter of Ray's parents.

After paying that they say goodbye home, which initially to the house so to the restaurant. Incidentally they are not far from their usual resetting place to eat with family when Marcelea school and college, when he was still Christian.

But Ray's parents chose the restaurant they currently occupy with his uncle.

The departure of Mami and Papi Ray makes a longing to always meet. Marcelea continued to look at the departure that she had considered husband and wife as her parents until it disappeared from her perspective.

"We're home" Rifa asked.

"Oh yes" answered Marcelea a little surprised, "ayo bang" He said that had tied his hand in the arms of the husband.

Rifal glanced at his wife's hand, then moved his gaze to the face of his wife who still looks homesick on people he just met.

"Definitely see you again, don't be sad" he said and patted his wife's hand gently in his arm, "we're home" he continued, raising his eyebrows and Marcelea responded with a nod and a smile.

"Would it be wrong if we miss?" Marcelea asked as she walked out of the restaurant.

"It's not wrong, it's wrong to miss someone else's husband" replied Rifal.

"Serious is even considered joking" replied Marcelea annoyed as she waved her lips.

"Sorry, get in the car" said Rifal and Marcelea took her hand off the husband.

The Rifal car began to move from the direction of the parking lot, with the glass part of Marcelea deliberately he did not raise.

When passing by, Marcelea felt like someone was watching her but she did not know who she was. He tried to look outside, saw a man but turned his back on him.

Marcelea tried to pay attention to the back and at that moment she unconsciously pointed to it, "the back is not foreign" he said.

"Your friend may be" replied the original Rifal.

"Perhaps, because it is no stranger to the back, but who is it" said Marcelea again while thinking hard about the back.

"Campus buddies?" Ask Rifal.

"Hmmm, don't know. It's not important. How about stop shopping bang" Invite Marcelea again.

"Can" Rifal Response.
