"You think forever you won't see your father again, Bud."

Nugroho, a middle-aged man who is now wearing a shirt with a back that reads the residents of the correctional facility, looks teary seeing two young men sitting next to him at this time.

Budi, his son, seemed to be bowed before him. Next to him was Samuel, another brother of a mother who seemed calm to let Budi with his own mood.

Occasionally, heavy breathing from Nugroho is heard.

"Ma.pardon Budi, Sir." Some times it is just that word that although a little heavy and stamped, more often comes out of the mouth of Budi. And every time Budi said that, Nugroho just always returned with a smile while occasionally reaching for Budi's hand.

"Either form of God's love what you don't know, Bud. But for sure, today, I believe that there will always be wisdom behind the disaster. Today, I really feel like a father, Bud. Yes to you, yes to Sammy." Nugroho still sounded heavy.

Well, Sammy. Sammy was Nugroho's call to Samuel.

"Today, for the first time I saw two boys sitting next to each other like this. I don't know when this day would have happened if the problem didn't exist. But in fact, because of this problem, you can see the two fathers sitting together in front of the father." Now somehow, Nugroho's eyes look back in tears.

"Father knows, Bud. It may be difficult forever for you to forgive your father. For the first time in my life. Father beg of you. Stay brother to Sammy. There have been many sins that your father has committed, it is appropriate if you do not get forgiveness. But whatever the sins of the father, the father does not want to see any discord between the fathers' sons." Imbuh Nugroho with a voice getting heavier and hoarse.

"You have forgiven me." Budi lirih.

Hearing that Nugroho smiled, "Here you go, Bud. Don't force it if you can't forgive your father."

"But really, sir. I forgive father. I've forgotten all." Said Budi who now began to dare to look at Nugroho's face.

Now, it is Nugroho who is bowed between his sobs.

"Already, Sir. Now the most important thing is your health here. And you can get through all this until you get out. We'll make sure we welcome your return." Samuel said, More silent than ever.

"Really, Sir. Dad's coming home soon. Nous... I personally miss gathering with my father." Imbuh Budi's.

Hearing the words that came out of the two children, Nugroho's tears could not be contained anymore. The clear threads just soaked both of his cheeks.

"What are you busy with now, Le?" Nugroho asked Budi after everything started to calm down.

"Nothing, sir." Sahut Budi brief while bowed.

Nugroho seemed to be breathing.

"Actually I began to feel regret for your decision to leave Pondok Hidayah, Le. But how else, it's all father's fault. You must be ashamed of your friends." Nugroho said later.

He did not answer, he just kept bowing. In fact, what his father said was true. Embarrassed. Well, shame is the reason for Budi's exit first from Pondok Hidayah.

"Mr sure. If only you hadn't come out then, maybe you could have more knowledge now, Bud. Because now the Cottage is no longer held by Kyai Aminudin. Kyai who only scratches that power." Nugroho said later.

"Where do you know about that?" Asks Budi full of astonishment because to the best of his knowledge, Kyai Aminudin left from Pondok Hidayah and was replaced by Ajimukti a few months after Nugroho entered prison.

"Well, there's some business between Mas Aji's father. But that time Mas Aji was here to see my father, Bud." Sela Samuel then.

"Ajimukti? Ajimukti here, sir? Is that true?" Ask to make sure.

Nugroho nodded, "Yes. Ajimukti had been here a few times and had crossed paths with Samuel." Nugroho answered Samuel.

"Lantas, what's Ajimukti doing to see you?" Ask Budi who is still so curious.

Nugroho smiled and was seen sighing, "Misunderstanding, Bud. But everything has been resolved and you have also admitted your mistakes." Clearly then.

"That's what it's about, but thank God it's done, sir." Sahut Budi later.

Nugroho again just smiled, "Relax, Bud. God awakened father faster."

"Then, don't you intend to go back there, Le?" Tanya Nugroho.

Getting the question Budi just kept quiet and bowed again.

"Go back there, Bud. I'm sure Ajimukti will gladly accept you there." Pinta Nugroho.

"You remember Samsuri, don't you?" Ask later.

He nodded, "How can I not remember, sir. Didn't Mr Samsuri make you here?" Said later.

Hearing that Nugroho again smiled and again grabbed Budi's hand.

"Bud, it wasn't Mr. Samsuri who made you here. You don't blame anyone. If anyone's to blame, you're the man, Bud. Mr. Samsuri is also just a victim. So throw your mind out if this is all because of Mr. Samsuri." Nugroho's Message to Budi.

And just nod too. He has also promised Arya that he will no longer blame Samsuri for everything that happened to his father. And again he and Hexa, his son Samsuri had just repaired their relationship that had been strained.

"Oiya, now Alhamdulillah his son Mr. Samsuri has also been put in Hidayah Cottage, Bud." Nugroho said later.

Hearing that, Budi was not surprised at all.

"I already know, sir." Sahut Budi lirih's.

This time it was Nugroho who was a little surprised, his forehead shriveled.

"This young man is now good friends with Hexa, Mr. Samsuri's son, sir." Sela Samuel then.

"Is that so, Bud?" Tanya Nugroho.

He nodded, "Yes, sir."

"But how do you know, Sam?" Nugroho turned to Samuel.

"So this Budi now often hangs out in the market, sir. Well, not far from my stall. With that Hexa, the same one again, Arya her name. And as far as I know this Arya also used to break down pesantren. And I often pay attention to Budi, sir. So know right." Samuel then obviously.

"Yes, Sir. That's what Samuel said." Imbuh Budi confirmed Samuel's explanation.

"Then why his son Samsuri actually often tongkrongan in the market, Bud? And why are you so close?" Tanya Nugroho.

"That's because of Arya that Samuel told you about, sir." Sahut Budi later.

"Aryans? Who's the kid? And where do you know him?" Ask Nugroho again.

"As Samuel said, sir. Arya used to be a nyantri. Even he was... Emmm, stop, sir. He knows more than me about religion. I knew him by accident, but he knew Hexa more than I did. Because I find it suitable every time I give me an explanation about this. I then tried to do the same knowledge Arya, sir." Clearly then.

Nugroho nodded, "Yes yes, I don't care if you're friends with anyone, Bud. As long as the friend leads to kindness and can give you benefits. Whatever his background life. Now I see a lot of changes in you. So yes you can conclude that Arya your friend is indeed a lot of influence on your change, Bud." Nugroho said later.

Budi just nodded at the advice of Nugroho.

For a while the three of them continued to continue the chat until the moment the officer signaled that the visiting hours for Nugroho were finished.

"You be careful, take care of yourself, and most importantly get along as brothers." Nugroho's message as he moved from his seat.

"Father too. Take care of your health here." Samuel said as usual before he said goodbye.

"Yes, Sir. You don't have to think about us outside. God willing we are adults, we can manage our own lives. Most importantly, dad here. Calm your mind." Imbuh Budi's.

"yeah. You feel so much better now than before. You want to get this over with and go home, get back with you." Sahut Nugroho again with teary eyes.

"We'll go home first, sir." Samuel said that since then it was calmer than Budi.

After saying goodbye, they separated at the end of the door.

"Bud, I'm taking your mother." Nugroho said at the end of his meeting with Budi this time.

Budi just nodded then walked along with Samuel to leave the place. Nugroho only observed his two children walking away from his place, his eyes still slightly glazed until one of the officers resuscitated him and took him back to his room.

There are still remnants of rainwater. The land that is still wet, also puddles of water in some places indicate that the afternoon rain was heavy.

"I'm straight up, Sam." Speak to Samuel when they are outside the field.

"Where are you going, Bud?" Samuel asked in astonishment.

"Maybe I'll go home first, Sam." Sahut Budi lirih's.

"Oh, fine then. Careful of you." And Samuel then.

"Oh, yes, Sam. Can I make a request to you?" He said before parting with Samuel.

"Regard?" Samuel asked in astonishment.

"Our meeting is also about...?" Bud stopped for a moment.

Samuel was still waiting for Budi to continue his words.

He looks to breathe.

"What's the matter, Bud?" Samuel asked when it was felt that Budi was holding back too long.

Once again Budi took a deep breath, "On Ajimukti, Sam. I know you're pretty close to Ajimukti. I hope you keep this meeting a secret, a secret about my closeness to Arya with Hexa. Can, Sam?" Ask Budi then.

Samuel nodded, "But why, Bud?" Ask later.

"That's gonna be an excuse I don't have to explain, Sam." Sahut Budi's.

Once again Samuel nodded, "Alright, Bud. Whatever your reasons I don't want to know. I respectit. And about your message. I promised to keep it a secret from Mas Aji."

"Thank you, Sam. Then I'll go first." The words then passed before Samuel.

Samuel just nodded while throwing a smile and then letting Budi away from where they were standing at the moment. After Budi felt increasingly distant, Samuel immediately rushed to return to the market.

Rain scars still leave dew and clear grains on some leaves. The wet soil also scatters the smell of rancid carried by the wind. The sky was still a little cloudy, the sun was still reluctant to move from behind the blanket of grayish clouds.

Samuel was standing on the sidewalk waiting for the freight to take him back to the market. Amongst the remaining rainwater still dripping from the leaves on it, there was a shady smile that simply expanded from his lips.

Seriate...
