Elna The Poor Village Girl
The Past of a Grandpa

In town A

Fahrizi is in a nursing home. This is his last destination today.

After meeting the caretaker and giving up some money. Fahrizi intended to go home but in the corner of the courtyard sat an old man who caught his attention. Fahrizi.

"Good afternoon cake" Fahrizi said to the old man.

Grandpa looked up and smiled.

"Young afternoon" he answered

Fahrizi smiled at the grandfather's words.

"Why is Grandpa sitting alone here not with his friend? ask Fahrizi.

"Grandfather was intentionally alone. It's better according to Grandpa! answer her.

"Why is that cake? ask Fahrizi again.

"This old man was just as handsome as you. In gilai many girls even accidentally grandfather has two wives" he said while looking far ahead.

"Kok accidentally cake? ask Fahrizi.

"Grandpa's in the trap of Grandpa's business opponent. Actually, my grandfather never loved the woman, but for the future of my grandfather's family. Grandpa was forced to marry her.

Because there is no love, Grandpa finally does not care so much about her.

Make the woman do whatever it takes to vent her frustration.

Until one day the woman was desperate to meet the grandfather's wife. Grandpa's wife who had a history of heart disease fell ill and commited to the end of her death.

Because my grandfather's annoyance is increasingly indifferent to the woman. To vent my grandfather's anger. Grandpa didn't take care of her and didn't divorce her.

Until one day, Grandpa met an Ustad. And grandfather asked for his opinion on the problem that grandfather was facing.

He said

"If you don't want her as well as you let her go. if you still defend but you do not live out the kahir and the mind will be your burden that you will account for in the hereafter "he explained.

"For what if only in living his birth only cake but not his inner? ask Fahrizi

"That's a heavy one. Because if only you live out his birth but not his mind. Then he will make his inner living from others.

And that means there will be an adultery. Remember the sin of a married woman will be borne by her husband.

What else if he was looking for something because he could not get it from the husband who should give it. "said the grandfather while staring at Fahrizi.

Fahrizi fell silent.She remembered the incident with Selly one month ago. Where Selly demands her right as a wife to earn a living. But Fahrizi did not give it.

"Will Selly be looking for that from someone else. What if it means that I will take away his sins. Fahrizi.

"What are you thinking, son? ask grandpa

"There's no cake!" fahrizi replied lying.

"Then did Grandpa scatter that woman? ask Fahrizi

"Yes because grandfather did not want to bear sins that grandfather never did and grandfather decided not to marry again after grandfather's wife died.

"Does grandfather not have children from his wife? ask Fahrizi again

"There was one child but Grandpa didn't want to trouble them. Therefore, grandfather prefers to live in this nursing home" said the grandfather.

"Grandfather's son is married? ask Fahrizi

"Are you married? ask Grandpa to Fahrizi.

"Yes cake. I am married and now my wife is sick. He's been comin' for two days. I came here to ask for a do'a of all for the recovery of my wife" Fahrizi said, teary-eyed.

"May your wife be healed soon" said grandfather.

"Thank you kek. for the do'a" said Fahrizi.

"Either. Grandfather can feel what you are feeling right now. Because grandfather had experienced it" said grandfather while patting Fahrizi's shoulder.

"Kek Fahrizi said goodbye first. Fahrizi will come again next time" Fahrizi said.

"alright. Grandpa wait for your arrival son" Grandpa said with a smile. Making the lines of wrinkles in the tail of his eyes more clearly visible.

On the way back to the hospital, Fahrizi kept thinking about his grandfather's story. He was afraid of all of it.

The most feared Fahrizi if Selly will act recklessly like the woman in the grandfather story. And Fahrizi was very afraid of losing Elna.

"Na'udzubillahi min dzalik. O Allah, do not let it happen to himbah and his wife added Allah "Inner Fahrizi.

Fahrizi continued to drive his car back to the hospital. On the way he got a chat from his private secretary Robby if today there is a guest who came namely Mr. Darma and his wife.

"Sir in the office is Mr. Darma and his wife. He said he wanted to meet my father. I'm clear that you can't be disturbed but he means.

Now they're still in the office sir." Robby said in a chat with Fahrizi.

"Well I'll meet them. Tell them I'll come "fahrizi's reply to Robby.

"Excuse me sir! Mr. Fahrizi said he was coming. Mom and Dad were told to wait ", Robby said

"Yes. Said Mr. Darma with his haughty attitude.

About twenty minutes they waited for Fahrizi to arrive.

"Assalammu'alaikum's chat.. Sir, ma'am, said Fahrizi while kissing the back of his in-laws hand.

"Wa'alaikumsalam., replied Mr. Darma's wife with a very friendly other with her husband Mr. Darma who addressed his face jutek.

"I'm Direct" said Mr. Darma

"I came here to ask you to appreciate Selly a little. Even if Selly your betel wife she is still your legitimate wife religiously that you should pay attention to and live out born and inner ", said Mr. Darma in fire.

Fahrizi was silent. Then say

"For the moment I can't do that sir. Because my wife is sick and has not even been conscious until now" said Fahrizi.

"OKAY. When can you do it? ask Mr. Darma

"At least until my wife recovers sir" Fahrizi said.

"good. I hold your words" said Mr. Darma.

"We'll excuse you" said Mr. Darma.

"Please Sir. Thank you for taking the time to come here" Fahrizi said.

No response from Mr. Darma. Only the wife answered.

"Sama-sama son.we say goodbye. Assalmmu'alaikum. "he said.

"Wa'alaikumsalm" replied Fahrizi.
