Eps 12 - Make Friends Only
"Fir, did you see Gabriel again?" ask Ummi Aisyah to Firda who is currently sleeping in her bed while playing her mobile phone.
"Yes" replied Firda casually "But not walk together really, Ummi. Just talked for a while in the school yard. There's a kid too, so it's safe" he replied still busy with his cell phone. Aisyah sat on the edge of the bed and took Firda's phone by force.
"Speak what?" ask her. Firda sat up.
"Speaking that Ummi could not let Firda walk together because it is not a mahram"
"Keep Gabriel answered what?"
"Keep Om Gabriel ngajak nikah to be mahram"
"HUH????" aisyah's strangulation made Firda immediately cover her ears with both hands.
"You need to be surprised, Ummi. Firda has explained that Firda is not the same as Om Gabriel" said Firda while frowning because Ummi it almost made his eardrum rupture.
Aisyah was more surprised to hear Firda's words, she knew her son very well if he spoke would not think first.
"What do you think your answer is, Fir? You don't talk weird, do you?"
"Come on, Ummi. Yes, the core of Firda rejects his proposal, cooking is Om Om would marry Firda"
"Yes, what do you keep saying? What do you say it's like? How's it?" ask Aisyah curiously.
"What do you mean?" ask Firda who made Aisyah take a deep breath and exhale her slowly.
"Look, Gabriel's gonna ask you to get married. What did you say after that? Are you saying, Firda can't, Om. Or, Firda still wants to go to school, or what? Anyway every word you say with Gabriel is a word like what?" tanya Aisyah held her thumping heart.
"Oh that, Firda just said it turns out the taste of Om leaves young, continue because Om om not fit Firda, yes Firda asked to find another one"
"Innalillah, O Allah... Astagfirullah" muttered Aisyah while holding her chest that was increasingly pounding, did not expect her daughter would reject the proposal of the man with such sadistic.
"Ummi why? Ummi has a heart attack? Kan Ummi has a history of heart disease" said Firda who made her mother's heart beat faster.
"For a long time Ummi had heart disease because of you, Fir... Fir" grumbled Aisyah and she walked gontai towards her room, impatiently wanting to complain to her husband.
Aisyah went into her room and found her husband who had just changed into a T-shirt.
"What's up, Ayesha?" farhan asked astonished to see Aisyah's pale face as if she had just met a ghost.
"Firda, Mommy. Firda.." said Aisyah and she immediately sat on the edge of the bed.
Aisyah also told what Firda had told her, and just like Aisyah, Farhan could only mutter Istighfar many times while stroking her chest.
"Mas, our son, Mas... If he rejects people in such a way, it can be hostile to him, Mas. O Allah" said Aisha "How is Gabriel angry? Keep holding a grudge against Firda? Danger, Mas. The dangers...."
"Don't think bad first" said Farhan trying to calm his own heart and dig dug heard the story "Let's see Gabriel tonight and apologize to him. May he understand and forgive Firda"
"Good idea, Mas. O God, like him we must hasten Firda's departure to the pesantren"
...... ...
Gabriel had just finished bathing when he heard a knock on the front door, Gabriel immediately dressed completely and opened the door. He found Abi Firda there.
"Good night, Om" said Gabriel clumsily considering he had proposed to his daughter and was rejected raw as well.
"Good night, son Gabriel. Can Om come in?"
"Oh yes, please"
Gabriel lets Farhan into his house.
"I came here to apologize" Farhan said after Gabriel invited him to sit in the living room.
"Sorry for what?" ask Gabriel.
"At Firda's words this afternoon, Firda told me and my wife. I hope Nak Gabriel is not offended by Firda's reply to Nak Gabriel's proposal, I'm sure he didn't mean it that way" Farhan said, grimacing Gabriel. How innocent Firda was even to tell that, thought Gabriel.
"I'm sorry, Om. I don't mean to be disrespectful" Gabriel said in a low voice.
"Yes, but it would be nice for Gabriel to talk to me if he is paying attention to Firda" said Farhan then who makes Gabriel feel wrong, thinking Farhan will approve with Firda, but Farhan's next remark made Gabriel sigh in lethargy
"And Firda was very young, he was still a child and not yet an adult. In addition, Firda will soon be sent to the boarding school, Om hope Nak Gabriel can understand and hopefully get a replacement Firda with a much better and more mature" Gabriel just smiled thinly.
He himself never intended to interfere with Firda, everything just happened like flowing water.
"I understand" said Gabriel, then "I'm sorry, Om. But is it okay if I'm friends with Firda? We will not go beyond our limits, we promise" Gabriel said.
Farhan gave a small nod while smiling thinly. Because after all, the words of a man who only wants to be friends cannot be fully trusted but Farhan appreciates Gabriel.
