Chapter 22. Quotes From Fahri
After going through a long drama, along the way of memories. Finally, Arumi and Fahri chose to return home because the day had begun late at night.
"Grandfather, Grandma." Bima immediately held the hands of Fahri and Arumi. The little man shook his head, forbidding his grandparents to go home.
"Stay here, grandpa, granny." Bima looked at the grandfather and grandmother with a clear face.
"Yes, Ma. Mama and Dad should stay here. It's late, afraid there's nothing in the way." Alvaro added, suggesting that his parents stay at his house only.
"How Mas? Are we going to sleep here tonight?" ask Arumi to her husband.
"What do you think? I'm just following your words" Fahri said.
"Yes, then we'll just stay here. After all, we have not visited here for a long time" said Arumi.
Fahri agreed. The couple decided to abandon their intention to return home.
Bima took her grandmother to the room. I asked my grandmother to sleep with him. The little man was more familiar with his grandmother than his grandfather. Perhaps it was because his grandfather, who rarely spent time with him, was busy reading books in the study.
Meanwhile, Fahri, the man chose to sleep with his son. The two men lay next to each other, looking up at the ceiling of the house.
"I'm confused, Pa. On the one hand, I do not want to marry again, but on the other hand, Bima always urges me. I'm afraid that later, when I marry that woman, I fail to become a husband" murmured Alvaro who did not take his eyes off.
"Papa knows what you're feeling right now. However, it doesn't hurt for you to try. Papa used to be so with your mom. At first, we got married because of coercion. And for this papa cannot explain it in detail."
"And finally, papa fell in love with your mama. Papa is aware that as time goes on, papa starts to have a taste in your mama. A husband can not be said to fail if he glorifies his wife," Fahri said giving advice to his son.
"Papa hates most men who play hands against his women. Ask your mom, did you ever hit her? Or hurt him physically? The answer is of course not" Fahri said again.
Fahri listened to his father's words carefully. The man could only smile while nodding in understanding.
"With you remarrying, it does not mean that you are currently hurting Diara. Of course not. Diara will be very happy if you can get another woman again. Remember one thing, son. The one who has died, he will not be able to rise again. And those of us who are still given breath, must continue our lives as they should."
"If you're afraid, you'll hurt the woman you marry. Give him understanding. Just tell me that half your life has been given to Diara, but all that is left is your next wife. If he's willing to accept you, just marry him right away" Fahri said at length with a smile.
Now Alvaro understands why his mother loves his father so much. Because the man next to him is a very wise man. Whether it's in his words, or his actions.
"Thank you Pa, for all the advice. Alvaro will try to follow papa's advice" Alvaro said.
Fahri immediately raised his thumb, marked that he really liked his son who tried to obey his words earlier.
"Then let's go to sleep. Papa was sleepy" said Fahri, who began to pull his blanket, then turned his back on his son.
Alvaro smiled, he also did the same. The two men slowly closed their eyes, and dissolved into dreamland.

Elsewhere, Alvira was fighting with her husband. A commotion occurs when the father and mother are not in the house.
"If you don't have another woman, it's impossible for you to ignore me like this. There are many men out there who are so happy when their wives are pregnant. While you ...." Alvira's voice choked, her tears without permission spilled out.
"You don't even care about me one bit, Mas . I'm your wife, your legal wife!!" press Alvira.
"Don't I say. I'm busy, Vira. The office business is quite dizzying to my head, and now you're also stressing me out. My head seems to want to break, just so you know it!" ketus Andre's.
"Again and again your reason must be related to the business of the office. While the company's finances, it's always minus. You should have thought of me!"
"Enough Vira!!" snapped Andre.
"So, how do you want us?" ask Andre.
"What do you mean?!" furious Alvira.
"I'm sick of all this!" Andre ruffled his hair in frustration.
"So what you say, Mom! I am currently pregnant. You talk like that!"
Alvira immediately got out of her seat, then left the room. She did not want if later, another sentence that would hit her heart, again spoken from her husband's lips.
"Your work, Mas. You really have the heart," said Alvira who chose to go to the backyard. The woman was crying in silence. He always tried to wipe away the tears that fell on his cheeks.

The next day, two handsome men were wearing aprons. They are busy cooking in the kitchen. While Bima and Arumi, both sang while encouraging Alvaro and Fahri who was cooking in the kitchen.
"Grandma, why are you cooking grandpa? Can't grandma cook?" bima asked with her innocent face.
"Grandmother can cook, but unfortunately later grandmother's cooking will not.there will be people who want to eat it," said Arumi.
"Why Grandma?" ask Bima again.
"Grandmother if cooking is very wasteful of salt" said Arumi.
The fragrant aroma from the cooking both appeared to be piercing in the nose. Arumi's stomach began to sound, unable to bear the aroma of the dish.
Soon, Fahri began serving the dishes they made on the table. Arumi's eyes immediately sparkled, she began to put the food into her grandson's plate, after which she took food for her husband, and lastly new herself.
"Hmmm .. This is really delicious. The cuisine of chef Fahri and chef Varo is beyond doubt" Arumi said, feeding the food back into his mouth.
"Enak," added Bima while pointing both thumbs.
Everyone who was in that place ate the food in a happy atmosphere. Sometimes the babble from Bima sweetened the atmosphere that morning. They had no idea what had actually happened in the main house.
